External harddrive not show correct files

thanks for your time.
i've not had this problem before. i have an external harddrive and lately some of the files have been incorrect. and now it's been happening to most of the files on the drive. for example if i click on a video file a different video will show. it's usually on of about 3 videos, so if i click on 30 different video files, the same wrong movie will show up about 25 times. other videos won't open at all. the same for a lot of pictures on the drive and other types of files.
the drive is probably suffering from some kind of corruption, but i'm not sure if the part of the drive that points to a file is corrupted and can be repaired maybe. i've ran disk utility and it says the drive is fine. has anyone else had this issue and come to a conclusion short of running a recovery program?
thanks.

HI sorry thats what I ment. The disk utility(application) in the folder utilities. The strange thing is that Yesterday the hard drive did apear there. I thought maybe it has something to do with NTFS application. As before I had installed this I could only read but notwrite to files on the hard disks. So I uninstalled and reinstalled the software,,,,,now the hard disk does not appear anymore in disk utilities .....I'm getting futher away from an solution .... :-( what can this be ? ever heard of an problem like this ? I thank you in advance for taking your time to look into this problem.
Regards,
Terrence

Folder problems on external drive, not showing correct file size

I've run across a strange problem. I'm media managing for a tv show, meaning I'm offloading video from CF cards onto 2 external drives, one is a Drobo Raid (set up for backup) and another is a Lacie rugged drive. After copying the media to both drives, the folder I copy will match, but sometimes as I drill upward in my folder structure, suddenly the file sizes will not match. To be more clear: 2 folders will show differing file sizes, but inside that folder is only another folder,nothing else, which matches across the drives. I've shown all files in finder and there's no hidden files, though sometimes I see the ds_store files are different sizes (8k vs 16k), but that's not always the case. Sometimes if I simply create a new folder and move it's contents into it I can get the folders to match, but sometimes that doesn't work. It's part of my workflow to show that these copies match exactly via screenshots, and although the most important folder (the direct folder holding the footage) always matches, these folder problems are super frustrating as it's not constant, and any workarounds also work inconsistantly.
I had an accidental disconnect of the Drobo one time, and although none of the data seems to have any problem, I fear it's done something to the directory. The rugged drive is swapped out every few days and the problem seems to be on the Drobo. Because the nature of the data is pretty important, I'm afraid to just try messing around with repairing or other software solutions unless I know it's super safe and won't harm the data.
I'm at a loss as to what's causing it and at the very least how to avoid it cropping up. Any help or insight would be appreciated!

I had the same problem with my iMac, first I repaired the disk, then I ejected the disk, restarted, and then reinserted the USB in a different port. All of my files magically showed up. I don't know what caused the error but it has been working fine since.

Finder is not showing correct file in cover flow mode. The files shown in the top panel are one file off.

finder is not showing correct file in cover flow mode. The files shown in the top panel are one file off.

This problem occurs after I move a file or files to trash. If I remove one file, then the sequence is one file off, if I move two files to trash then the sequence istwo file off. For example, if I delete file 1 and highlight (click on) file 3, then the cover flow panel shows file 2, when it should show file 3.

File Save dialog box not showing correct file name while saving file

hi
Currently, after the Submit button is hit, the File Save dialog box is displayed. If the user saves the file and then opens it then the output appears correct however if the user chooses to open the file without saving on the local machine then the correct viewer is not used to display the file. The name of the file is defaulted as qotSCopPrint.jsp and the default file viewer for jsp files is chosen to view the file. The format of the file is obviously not text (it is either pdf or rtf) so the output shows binary characters.

data : v_repid like sy-repid.
parameters : p_file like rlgrap-filename.

v_repid = sy-repid.

Non-formatted External Harddrive not showing in Disk Utility

I have an empty external hard drive that is not formatted. I would like to format this and use for storage of some of my larger files. However, it doesn't show up in Disk Utility, or also doesn't show up when checking off "Show External Drives" in finder preferences. If I have it plugged in to the mac during start up, I only get a grey screen, the mac will not start. I've tried this on my 2010 Macbook Pro and 2012 Macbook Pro, same results. I have to unplug it for the computers to start. Both are running OSx Yosimite. Any suggestions of programs that will format this

Sounds like a broken ext HD. Replace it.

W540 + Ultradock: External monitors not showing correct maximum resolution

I have three 20" LCD monitors and the Ultra Dock. I am connecting them as: 1 with VGA, 1 with DisplayPort to DVI cable and 1 with DVI cable.
The ones one the DisplayPort and one with DVI both show a max resolution of 1280x1024 even though the monitor has a native resolution of 1600x1200. The VGA connected monitor shows the correct maximum resolution.
When I connect the DVI cable to into the mini-displayport connection on the laptop itself, that same monitor shows the proper 1600x1200 resolution.
Is there some limitation here preventing me from using the full 1600x1200 resolution through the dock?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Solved!
My dock already had the same version as the update file. Plus, the description of item fixed did not match my issue. I had no blinking or missing screens, I had too low of resolution.
...But I have found the solution on my own.
Surprisingly I have not see it discussed anywhere on this forum. I found the answer here:
http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles/gjde49ww.txt
It contains the following information:
In Standard mode, all dock displays uses Integrated Graphics as display output
and is limited to a maximum of 3 displays including Computer's LCD.
While in Advanced mode, all dock displays uses Discrete Graphics as display
output and it increases the maximum number of displays to 6 including Computer's LCD.
Also:
ThinkPad W540 (Standard Mode)
Intel HD Graphics
- (Computer's LCD)
- Computer's analog VGA connector
- Computer's DisplayPort connector
- Docking Station's analog VGA connector
- Docking Station's DVI connector(s)
- Docking Station's DisplayPort connector(s)
- Docking Station's HDMI connector
NVIDIA Quadro K2100M or NVIDIA Quadro K1100M
- No display is connected to this display adapter.
ThinkPad W540 (Advanced Mode)
Intel HD Graphics Family
- (Computer's LCD)
- Computer's analog VGA connector
- Computer's DisplayPort connector
NVIDIA Quadro K2100M or NVIDIA Quadro K1100M
- Docking Station's analog VGA connector
- Docking Station's DVI connector(s)
- Docking Station's DisplayPort connector(s)
- Docking Station's HDMI connector
Something about this really prevents the resolution I wanted.
I switched to advanced mode in the BIOS as such:
The procedure below allows user to select "Standard mode" or "Advanced mode"
1. Power off the computer.
2. Power on the computer.
3. While the "To interrupt normal startup, press Enter" message is displayed
at the lower-left area or lower-center area of the screen, press the F1 key.
The ThinkPad Setup menu will be displayed.
4. Choose "Config" then "Display" to show the menu.
5. Select "Video Mode on Dock" and press Enter.
6. Select "Standard" or "Advanced" for your preference
7. Press F10 key and select "Yes" to save and exit from Setup menu. Then the
computer is restarted.
After a few reboots, I have proper resolution on all displays.
Not sure if there are any downsides to advanced mode, but it certainly feels like it is my solution. This gets me back to what just worked fine with the W530 I had before this.

Desktop on external display not showing correctly

hi,
we have just purchased a macbook and the required leads to connect it to the TV (sony Bravia) this has worked correctly(the macbook detects the TV) and we are able to see the mac workspace on the tv both in mirror mode and extend desktop mode.
However when we view the desktop on the tv it is almost like the desktop is too big for the tv display area so we cannot see the tool bar at the top at all. This happens regardless of the resolution we choose.
the macbook is connected via the mini DVI to a HDMI connection. the laptop seems to be happy running in 1920x1080 on the TV. it is just cutting off the tool bar
any ideas will be greatly received.
thanks
Prog

I also have the same problem, it occurs with all resolutions, from 1080p on down. If I use the extended desktop on the tv it still doesn't quite show all of the background image. The tv I am using is a 26" RCA HDTV, with the mini-dp to dvi connector, then dvi to hdmi adaptor, then hdmi to the tv. If I use the mini-dp to vga then vga to the tv everything looks the way it is supposed to, but I don't get 1080 resoulution. On the tv, when I hook up through the hdmi cable, I can't change the screen geometry as that option is only available to the pc connection(vga), it is grayed out under hdmi. With either connection I don't have any screen geometry settings available under system preferences. If anyone can help with this, it would be greatly appreciated.

a lot of these USB disks are garbage. Remove the hard disk from the case and connect it to an available desktop which will be able to read the disk.

Lion: Finder: Column View: Date Last Opened is not show correctly

Hi Folks,
I have upgrade my macs from 10.6.8 to 10.7.
I am using the column view in the finder and I noticed that the
Date Last Opened is not show correctly in the preview column.
If I use the the list view and show the column Date Last Opened
all dates are correct. Using the column view, the Date Last Opened
allways matches the Date Last Modified.
The attached screenshot shows an example with the same
file at in both views mentiond above.
I have noticed this problem with internal and external drives
using the filesystem Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
Is there way known to fix this behavior. In Snow Leopard it worked fine.
Thank you for your support.

Same here, however I found a strange work around.
Go to your applications folder, for instance. Click the gear icon, go to Arrange By, then select Date Last Opened. It will correctly show the last opened time and arrange them accordingly. Switch back to arrange by name and the last opened date reverts back.
It's not a bug, it's a feature!

Spot colors not showing correctly in acrobat 11

Spot colors not showing correctly in the output preview as well as the page correctly. I have a spot pms
295 on a page in a few different areas of text and backgrounds. The spot color shows on 1 of my backgrounds
and text and a spot color on another background does not. These items are on the same page. Although I
can use the eyedropper to check the color of these items and it states the spot color is present. The page
also prints correctly. Previews not happening.

I included 3 screen shots from Acobat 11 of the test requested. Also, included the last screen shot from Acobat 9 of same file.
Which shows correct preview. To eliminate possible ICC profile issue. I did change profiles to all that were in the profile list
with no change in either test.

USB External drive not showing in Finder, or on Desktop

I have two USB external drives from the same manufacturer. One is for regular storage, the second is for Time Machine and movies.
The first one shows everywhere, on the desktop, in finder and in Disk Utility.
The second drive shows in Disk Utility only. However, it is functioning fine with Time Machine. So it is mounted. I have tried several repairs, and it reports no fault found. So it is certainly functioning correctly, but a setting or error in the operating system is not allowing it to be viewed in finder, or on the desktop.
Any suggestions.

Correction: Title should be Firewire External drive not showing in Finder, or on Desktop.

Finder dose not show all files

finder dose not show all files and is not open.
nothing is shown on the desktop.
how is it fixed?

Could be disk corruption or bad perference file (s).
You may want to run these "standard" fixes if the problem persists.
1) Check the amount of free space on your harddrive. You should have a several gigs free.
2) You should run disk utility
     Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility
     a) verify the disk
     b) update your permissions.
3) Try a safe boot.
    Shutdown your machine. Hold down the shift key. Poweron. Wait awhile Wait awhile while you harddrive
      is being checked.

4) Define a new account & see if the problem occurs on that account.

Open/Save Dialog does not show new files?

Say you are working on a logic file in a folder and you have
a few audio and movie files in that folder, and you launch
Logic and via the open/save dialog window you add a few
files to your song and in that dialog window you can see
all the files in that folder.
Then, in the Finder you add a few more files and movies to
that folder and again use the open/save dialog window to
add more files BUT the new files you added since launching
logic are NOT SHOWN in the dialog window ! ?
What's the deal with that?
Every other app can show files added since the launch of the
application, why not Logic?
PowerBook G4 1GHz Mac OS X (10.3.9)

project manager
um, yeah.
Should not need the project manager simply to see new files added to a directory in a Open/Save dialog window since last opening the app.
I did a scan, a extended scan, opened all the little turn down arrows of the
full path to the directory I knew there to be the new files and yes, Logic
shows them there in the "Project manager".
BUT Logic still does not show the files in the Open/Save dialog windows.
This is strange because even simple app like TextEdit can show
new files in it's Open/Save dialog function windows without the need of
a project manager.
I have to quit and re-launch each time to see any new files?
