Document Folder Issue

Its strange, when I launch my Documents folder from the Dock, I can see and access all the files. When I open it in the Finder--nothing is there. I haven't hidden anything so I have no idea whats going on.

If you're opening it from the sidebar in a finder window, try opening it from you home folder, or select the hard drive and open it from the user folder.

List view in documents folder is weird

my Documents folder does NOT show the arrow to the left. All other folders have the familiar arrow. I just upgraded to Yosemite a week ago. Whats going on.

Found this answer over in another question. Solved my issue.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15693400#15693400
Check the following:
1. Go to Application folder (or any other folder with similar behavior)
2. Chose "View" --> "Arrange by" --> "None"

How do I move Documents folder?

I am trying to free space on my old Macbook Pro. My friend created a partition where I am moving most of my files to, including my pictures, downloads and Dropbox.
I would like to move my Documents folder too as there is plenty of space remaining in the partition.
Is there a simple way to do this? A drag and drop simply copies the files but I want to move the default location if possible.
Many thanks

Will the issue you have both raised affect my computer if I move the Documents Folder?
I don't think so. AFAICT, Office 2008 has no problems with symbolic links under SL. Regarding the MUD folder, if you quit all Office apps and move it to <~/Library/Preferences>, it should stay there. See this hint
<http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20060228051625893>
If this were my machine, I shouldn't try to move a subfolder of Home -- either move it all, or store my documents in a different folder from <~/Documents> (you can put a symlink to this folder in Documents; if you give the link a name beginning with a blank space, it will always be listed first in Open or Save dialogues). But if disk space constraints don't allow you to do this, and you have to move Documents, I don't see any other solution than the one suggested by Matt Clifton.

Need to know how to allow mail to be sent to my Hosted Sharepoint 2013 site's documents folder/ Using CRD 7 reporting

I have gotten as far as adding a new app, naming the folder and going into CRD, for the report we need online and attempted to enter the settings information for our sharepoint site. The issue is no matter how I enter the credentials it will not authorize
and finish the connection. We have tried a couple of different things when it comes to the user name and domain line. we tried:
corporate\username;
corporate-traffic.com\username;
[email protected]..
we are trying to figure out the correct way to enter this information, mainly what the domain name should be since Sharepoint 2013 is all cloud based.
My issue is when I get to entering credentials none of my admins credentials work... I think it may be the domain name that is throwing it off. I keep getting the error: server was unable to process request ---> Access is denied. (Exception
From HRESULT: 0x80070005 ((E_ACCESSDENIED))
So can anyone point me in the right direction to fix this error and enable the report to email to my sharepoint site documents folder?
Just to clarify...
I need the correct domain info per office 365's Sharepoint to enter the info into our report options on CRD seven report. And how we can enable SMTP to our documents folder on our SharePoint site.

I asked Christian Steven's Support staff about this and they came out with a fix to allow us to do exactly what I asked in the first post.
We then had an issue with an error saying Crystal Reports couldn't find the rasauditingw.dll. After a few months of going back and forth they finally looked deeper into the issue and informed me other businesses are having the same issue with the add in
they designed. They still claim it is not there software but Crystal Reports software that is the issue.
Just to clarify, the error only appeared after the add in was put in place. Anyways, after they dug some more the following post was the end game.
"The development team was finally able to get into this issue (seems other businesses are seeing this same issue now). It was in fact an issue with SAP Business Objects and where it was looking for the rasauditingw.dll.
****WARNING THIS IS DONE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!****
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGES TO YOUR PROGRAMS OR SYSTEM THIS FIX MAY CAUSE
BACKUP YOUR SERVER OR TAKE A SNAP SHOT (VM) BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY OF THE FOLLOWING
We copied the rasauditngw.dll file into the system32 folder and the sysWOW64 folder and then renamed the original rasauditingw.dll to rasauditingw.dll.bak (Original file in this directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise
XI 4.0\win32_x86).
So far so good. We have not seen any errors in the last couple of days since the fix. I hope this helps others who run into this mystery problem. Christen Steven was gracious enough to dig into this problem and quell my frustrations and issues with the
"crd.exe - Entry Point Not Found" error" "
We haven't seen any issue with our CRD server since we moved the copies of that .dll file over into our sys32 folder and sysWOW64 folder on the CRD server (our server where the Christian Steven software resides).

Finder Crashing When Accessing Documents Folder

When trying to open my Documents folder, I click on Hard Drive, Users and then my Account folder. Finder then instantly restarts. I have run Disk Utility and verified/ repaired disk permissions. Also have Verified disk but have been unable to run the repair disk as needed. Somehow I have also misplaced my restore CD so I need options to fix this.

Tough without a Tiger Disk, but try fsck...
To use fsck, you must run it from the command line. Unlike using your mouse to open an application to do something, you'll need to type a text command at the prompt (#) to tell fsck what to do. The Terminal application (/Applications/Utilities) and single-user mode are two examples of command-line interfaces in which you can type such commands. To use fsck:
1. Start up your computer in single-user mode to reach the command line. Hold CMD+s keys down at bootup. Note: If necessary, perform a forced restart as described in the Emergency Troubleshooting Handbook that came with your computer. On desktop computers, you can do this by pressing the reset/interrupt button (if there is one) or holding down the power button for several seconds. On portable computers, simultaneously press the Command-Control-power keys. If your portable computer doesn't restart with this method, you may need to reset the Power Manager.
2. At the command-line prompt, type /sbin/fsck -fy
(space between fsck and -fy important)
3. Press Return. fsck will go through five "phases" and then return information about your disk's use and fragmentation. Once it finishes, it'll display this message if no issue is found: ** The volume (nameofvolume) appears to be OK  If fsck found issues and has altered, repaired, or fixed anything, it will display this message: *** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED ***   Important: If this message appears, repeat the fsck command you typed in step 2 until fsck tells you that your volume appears to be OK (first-pass repairs may uncover additional issues, so this is a normal thing to do).
4. When fsck reports that your volume is OK, type reboot at the prompt and then press Return.

After saving a file using Excel 2010 in the My Documents folder, it cannot be found using the open button in Excel 2010

When certain files are saved using Excel 2010 to the My Documents folder, they cannot be found by using the Open button within Excel 2010. But the file is always found using My Computer and following the path to My Documents. What is
even odder is that if I do a "Save As" within Excel and rename the file to the same name but with a "!" at the beginning of the name, it will then show up in the Excel Open window. There doesn't seem to be a distinct pattern as to
when the file can or cannot be displayed by the Excel Open button.
I am using Windows 7 64bit along with Office 2010 64bit. Windows has current service packs and updates. There are perhaps 200 - 400 Excel files in the My documents folder. Some of them are .XLS and some are .XLSX.
William Fearn

Hi,
Do you mean that you can't find the Excel file when you click Excel->Open->My Documents folder?
Do you use the other folder path to test?
Dose the issue occur in other Office suits (Word, Power Point)?
Do you get some error message, like "Windows cannot find 'FilePath\FileName', Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again."?
Please try the following methods:
Method1:
1. Go to the registry. Click START, and in the RUN command line type REGEDIT and hit ENTER or click OK.
2. Navigate to the following key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.Sheet.8\Shell\Open\Command
3. Double click on the (Default) instance over to the right. Right now this probably says something like:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\EXCEL.EXE /dde
Change this value to:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\EXCEL.EXE /e "%1"
4. Navigate to the following key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Excel.Sheet.12\Shell\Open\Command
Again, double click the (Default) entry to the right and change
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\EXCEL.EXE /dde
to
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office14\EXCEL.EXE /e "%1"
Note : Please backup the registry key before you modify.
Method2:
Click the File tab, and then click Options.
Click Advanced, scroll down to the General
section, and then clear the Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) check box in the
General area.
Thanks

Word 2013 shows full UNC path instead of local "Documents" folder on file Open and Save

Normally Word (and Excel) by default will show the user's local "Documents" folder when opening or saving a file. That is what we want. However, after using Windows Server Folder Redirection to redirect the Documents folder to the network (Windows
Server 2012R2), Word now shows the full UNC path to the network share.
Instead of seeing:
"MyPC Documents"
users see
\\sever1\redirect$\username\documents
Folder redirection is supposed to be transparent to the user. Virtually all our other applications, including Office 2003, respect this convention and continue to show "Documents". As you can see, Word even exposes a hidden share.
Even if we go to File / Options / Save and browse to the local Documents folder as the place Word should open and save files from, Word immediately removes the path you have browsed to, and replaces it with the UNC path.
Is there a way to suppress this behavior? Thanx!
Dana

Hi,
Based on my understanding, you only want others to see some part of path name, rather than full UNC path name. It is right?
It seems that we can’t implement your requirement. When we open a file from “My Pictures”, it shows “My picture” instead of showing the full path “C:\Users\User\Pictures”. “My Picture” is set as a library in Windows, so it hides
full path by design. We can't set \\sever1\redirect$\username\documents as a library.
As a workaround, you can upload these files to OneDrive and share link to others.
If I have anything misunderstood, don't hesitate to tell me.

It's recommended to download and install

Asks for password every time I try to move a file into document folder.

Say need authorization to move file into document folder. I have some scans on seek top and I want ot place in a diabetes folder, states needs password.
I have 12 items I want to place in the folder, seems a bit too much of a security issue.
The file are transferred data, it states file can not be modified, authenticate or cancel, I hit authenticate and then asked for a password. Since it may be files from a different pc or format, there must be a shortcut to make this simpler.

Where's this folder located? Somewhere in your home folder? When you created this folder, were you logged in to the same user account as the one you are in now?

Access to dcument in the BW document folder

Hi
I've a problem that some users can't see the attachment that is uploaded in the 'BW document' folder.
I have checked the 'S_RS_ADMWB' authorization object and this looks fine, so it must have something with autorisation on the BW document folder but I don't know where to set this. Can anyone help
thanks,

Hi John,
This is a Basis issue. It may not be only about the SAP part, it could also be related to the LAN settings and the sharing and security aspect as set by the administrator. An issue similar to the one you mentioned was solved for us qutie fast by the Basis team. I am talking about a month back.
Please let me know what eventually worked if this doesn't help.

Where can I find unsaved Pages documents? (default storage iCloud -- Former "mobile documents" folder)

Hey all, i have a serious situation here. I have written a a term paper in pages last friday and must have have soemhow forgotten to save it. Now i just wanted to proof read some sections and I had to find out that this document doesnt exist. Not on my mac, not in iCloud. To cut to the chase - After hours of reserach I have found out that unsaved iwork documents have been saved to ~/Library/Mobile Documents prior to MAC OS 10.7.3.
I actually have found rather complicated manuals on how to get this mobile documents folder up and running but I guess it will only start saving stuff in there by now...?
So before I spend another 2 hours trying to get the mobile documents folder back into my librarby I rather start writing my paper all over
Maybe someone of you has experienced a similar problem and can help me out here... I seriously could cry !! So dont want to write everything again...
Please help me!! Thanks a lot!
Cheers Tobi

Hi
I'm having same issu over here.
Her is my setup
iMac 27" 2014 running Mavericks latest version.
iPad Mini running iOS 8.0.0
MacBook Air 2013 running latest version of Yosemite Public Beta
iPhone 4 running OS 7.1.2
Everything was working like a charm using iCloud Drive and all my Keynote, Pages and Numbers files stored on iCloud.
I could sync with the iMac due to the fact that I'm still on Mavericks, but that didn't bother me. And I don't use Keynote, Pages or Numbers
on my iPhone 4.
I just got an iPhone 6 Gold 64 Go and this is where it all went wrong.
After installation and update to 8.0.2 and setup of my new iPhone, I launched
keynote to see if I could access the presentations I had been working on.
And oh! Horror!!! A popup saying presenting have been deleted from another device....
So I hop back over to my iPad Mini where I had been working on an important presentation... Gone!!
All my presentations... Gone! More that 30 of them... Vanished.
But no problems with Pages or Numbers.... Weird....
Please Please Please help Apple.... I need these files and was solely relying on icloud for backing up my work. That was probably a bad bad move.
Thanks for helping. I see I'm not alone....

@Manikandan,
Can you check the ULS logs to find what is the error. The default location of log files will be C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\LOGS for MOSS 2007.
If is allowed for you to change the callstack and customerrors mode setting in the web.config then change those values to see the error.
Find: <SafeMode CallStack="false" />
Replace with: <SafeMode CallStack="true" />
Find: <customErrors mode="On" />
Replace with: <customErrors mode="Off" />

How to set my Document folder to be shared on MM?

So I got this terrible way to share my folders on MobileMe, it is to create a whole new folder on iDisk and then create an alias on my home folder to it, its irritating and not practical since all new and updated documents and files has to be dropped manually to the folder.
I want my original Document folder (that is on the home folder) to be shared and auto sync itself to the MobileMe iDisk without any interference with me.
How to make this possible?

It sounds like you're interested in the "Back to My Mac" feature of MobileMe.
Tutorials, setup instructions, and troubleshooting guides can be found here:
http://www.apple.com/support/mobileme/
To be able to access your real documents folder (not just a sync'd copy of it -- your iDisk wont be used at all) via MobileMe, you need to enable two things on your Mac:
1) In "System Preferences" -> "MobileMe" -> "Back to My Mac", make sure BTMM is "On" (click the "Start" button if it doesn't indicate that it is already running.)
2) In "System Preferences" -> "Sharing" make sure "File Sharing" is enabled. (you can just click the "Open Sharing..." button from the Back to My Mac panel as a shortcut to get there.
You also need to have a router which properly supports NAT-PMP or UPnP. I cannot emphasize the word "properly" enough. There are a lot of junk routers in the world that claim to support UPnP but do not. I've helped many people with this problem and when I debug the router by running utilities designed to test whether UPnP really works, the router fails the test. The vendor partially implemented UPnP has "just enough" for some limited functionality, but it's not enough for the needs of Back to My Mac. If you have this problem, it's not the Mac, it's the router.
On your remote Mac you need to log into MobileMe with the same account you used on your home Mac and also make sure Back to My Mac is enabled. File Sharing only needs to be enabled on the Mac which has the filesystems you want to share out to other computers. You don't, for example, need to enable it on your remote Mac.
LASTLY... if the home computer is allowed to go to sleep, then this might be a problem. If your computer is configured to sleep, go into "System Preferences" -> "Energy Saver" and verify that "Wake for network access" is enabled.
Apple's own Airport Extreme base station routers and Time Capsules are "Back to My Mac" aware. If you are attempting to access a Mac which is sleeping, the router itself will send the special "wake up" packet to your Mac (it's a special packet... not just any network traffic will cause it to wake.)
Most Macs made in the last several years will respond to a "Wake for network access" across wired ethernet. But only Macs made much more recently (within about the last year) support "wake for network access" across a wireless network.
If you do not have an a rather recent version of the Apple Airport Extreme router or Time Capsule then wake on LAN will probably not work and you'll need to make sure your Mac isn't allowed to sleep.
If you do have a recent model Airport base station and you use a physical network cable to connect the Mac to the router then it probably will respond to wake on LAN.
If you are using wireless networking to communicate between your home Mac and an Airport base station then you can verify if wireless will work. Run "System Profiler" (it's in the Utilities folder). In the left column click to highlight "Airport" (it's about halfway down just below "Network") In the panel on the right, near the bottom, check to see if you see "Wake on Wireless: Supported". If so, you're good to work on wireless.
Once everything is setup, your remote Mac will display your home computer in the left margin of the Finder window just as if you were home.
This website has a support category specific to Back to My Mac should you have any issues with it. You'll find it under the "Digitil Life" section you'll find "MobileMe" -> "MobileMe Back to My Mac".

Content of my document folder being delete in windows 8,1

From couple of months all saved data in My Document folder is being delete repeatedly, its like the folder is flushing automatically. Please help me with this. Thank You

Or do you have any Synchronization Settings? I mean your document folder might sync with another folder (it's content is empty ) automatically in the background.
And tell us something about this document, is it in a local place or a network place ? Does this issue only happen in Document folder?
And if this is a redirected folder, then check this policy Move the contents of [FolderName] to the new location . This setting moves all the data the user has in the local folder to the shared folder on the network.
You can find more information about fodler redirection in the following link

Weird delays opening files related to Mobile Documents folder

This is a very weird situation. With iCloud enabled, I get a weird delay when opening files.
What happens:
I open basically any sort of file (word, pages, zip file, etc).
I will get the spinning beachball for 5-10 seconds and cannot interact with the program in any way.
The following appears in the System Log:
10/23/11 8:39:41.312 PM librariand: changing log level to 5
10/23/11 8:39:41.526 PM librariand: collection does not match configured AppleID ([email protected]), removing existing collection

10/23/11 8:39:53.114 PM librariand: looks like mobile documents are really disabled
In addition, each time this happens it seems to create an additional "Mobile Documents" folder in ~/Library/, see below:
Mobile Documents
Mobile Documents.delete.Sun Oct 23 20/39/41 2011
Mobile Documents.delete.Sun Oct 23 20/39/41 2011
Mobile Documents.delete.Sun Oct 23 20/40/38 2011
Mobile Documents.delete.Sun Oct 23 20/49/10 2011
Mobile Documents.delete.Sun Oct 23 20/49/10 2011
This issue occurs whether or not I have "Documents & Data" selected for sync in iCloud preferences.
Interestingly enough, if I immediately open another file after this occurs, the issue does not happen again right away. However, if I wait about two minutes and open one, it does occur every time.
(Note: My acount name and email address have been replaced with "username" but the log is otherwise unaltered)

I have the exact same problem. It's been driving me crazy ever since I "upgraded" to Lion. I finally traced it to iCloud and the Mobile Documents folder using Console, which lead me here.
Any time I launch Pages, QuickTime, or TextEdit (TextEdit, really?), the first file I try to open gives me the spinning beachball of death for about 10 seconds before I can do anything.
I did numerous searches regarding the spinning beach ball of death in relation to those apps and found nothing germaine before I specifically searched for "collection does not match configured AppleID." This makes me think that a lot of other people are having this problem who just haven't discovered this thread.
I will try disabling "Documents & Data" but an actual fix would be greatly appreciated. "It just works" has not applied to many aspects of iCloud. I thought MobileMe had its issues, but iCloud is a mess in my personal experience, well beyond this issue. I appreciate the potential and am clinging to some faith in Apple, but Lion and iCloud have been REALLY testing my patience. Snow Leopard was a rock. This all seems like beta software hastily ported from iOS.

Final Cut Pro Documents folder reappears after changing scratch disk.

After attempting to reorganize and cleanup my hard drive, I have come across the reason why I have such a random system to begin with. A while back I had the same problem, but chose to let it lie instead of fixing it. So now I'm asking for help.
I've tried to make a new folder in which all the documents, caches, and items having to do with Final Cut Studio 2 are placed, instead of having some applications' files here and others' there. But my problem is that even after changing my scratch disk location and my waveform/thumbnail/autosave locations to the new folder, every time I open up Final Cut Pro, it creates the "Final Cut Pro Documents" folder once again.
Will I have to rebase my whole organizational scheme around this stubborn issue?
Thanks for any suggestions.
*I am running Final Cut Studio 2 (Final Cut Pro 6.0.6).

Well, I'm really trying to simply recreate this file under another name, "Final Cut Pro," instead of "Final Cut Pro Documents," and therein lies the problem, because it creates this folder by default. Right now I've got everything saving to my "Final Cut Pro" folder as my scratch disk location, and a blank "Final Cut Pro Documents" folder that I want to delete.
Thanks for the reply.
