File Labels Keep Disappearing

i am having a constant problem with file labels disappearing
i label a file with a certain color
and then go to find the file a day or two later and the label has disappeared (it has reverted to being unlabeled)
i have used onyx and run every maintenance tool (permissions, scripts, disk verify whatever) i can think of and it still happens
any ideas here ?

Restarting solved the problem.

  • Baggage Files keep disappearing

    I am aware of the RH6 issue of the baggage files not being
    able to be added the traditional way, and the user having to add
    them manually in rhbag.apj file. I have done that and they do work
    after that is done, but my problem is that they keep disappearing
    after some time, and I will have to go in manually to add them
    again. I add them, they work, and then after a couple days and a
    couple compilations they are removed again and my link doesn't work
    of course. Does anyone know a work-around to this, and how to make
    them permanently stick? Or, am I to accept this nuisance and find a
    different method for displaying these files? Any advice is greatly
    appreciated!
    Danni

    I link to .pdf files from the TOC with no problem.
    Danni, you mention,
    "...and the user having to add them manually in rhbag.apj
    file."
    I always import baggage files in the RH explorer view, and I
    let RH take care of the rhbag.apj file. (This is not to reject my
    colleagues' advice to edit the file. It may be necessary. I haven't
    needed to do that.)
    RH also keeps the baggage file list in a database table in
    the .cpd file. It has a separate table for links to baggage files.
    On the rare occasion when I have a problem, I discover an
    error in the database table. For example, each topic and baggage
    file has an ID number, and sometimes a file ID acquires a "minus"
    sign. Normally that's a "missing file" flag, but RH can't reconcile
    the database flag with the file's presence in the project folder.
    Open a backup copy of the .cpd file in MS Access, go to
    tables view and open the ones for baggage files. If you see a
    negative topic or file ID, and you know the file is in the
    project's Windows directory, delete the minus sign.
    If you see entries for baggage files that you know are
    obsolete, and you've removed them in RH and the project directory,
    delete those entries. Save before you exit from Access.
    Access may warn that you won't be able to save any changes
    unless you convert the database file to your current version of
    Access. I've ignored this warning and successfully saved changes.
    On the other hand, I don't believe any harm would come from
    updating.
    Temporarily change the name of the original cpd file and
    substitute the revised copy with the correct file name.
    Launch RH and open the project. The baggage files should be
    straightened out, but if not, try importing the "missing" ones from
    a location outside the project directory. (The corollary is that
    you shouldn't try to import a baggage file that's already in the
    project directory and may be in the rhbag.apj list as well. That's
    what sometimes confuses RH.)
    Interestingly, when you import a file that RH previously
    couldn't find, sometimes the import dialog says the baggage file is
    already in the project, do you want to overwrite it? Just say yes.
    Don't try to explain it, because RH can't tell you why it has to
    overwrite a file that isn't there.
    Of course, you have the option of going back to the original
    .cpd file by removing the new one and renaming the old one.
    Sometimes I start by making a copy of the entire project, but then
    I have to label and remember which folder contains the version I
    want to use later. Don't use the "recent projects" list in RH
    unless you revised the project name for the copy.

  • Memory on my macbook air keeps disappearing.  I have 120 gigs and I am down to 150mb without adding any files.

    Memory on my macbook air keeps disappearing.  I have 120 gigs and I am down to 150mb without adding any files.

    Thanks...I have tried the various options and the only item of interest is that my only account on this computer says it has 102 gig of memory used up.  However, when I open and look at the individual files, they add up to less than 15 gigs.

  • My disc space is constantly disappearing. We keep deleting files, but the space we gain keeps disappearing again. Please help.

    Our disc space  keeps disappearing. We keep deleting files just to keep the computer running, but the space we gain keeps disappearing. I had 10gigs of space less than a week ago, and today I have less than 1. We are not downloading anything. Whatever it is, is in the "other" category, which is currently over 113gigs and growing.

    Do you use Time Machine? Have a read here:
    http://pondini.org/OSX/DiskSpace.html
    FWIW, having only 10 GB of space is inviting disaster - 10 - 15 GB is to be considered an absolute minimum which the OS needs to function properly; more is much better. The disk space will change dynamically as the system reads/writes to disk constantly, every time you do anything (look at a picture, edit it, type a letter, etc).

  • My external Seagate 4Tb drive keeps disappearing on my Windows 8.1 Toshbia X75 laptop

    I have a new Toshiba X75 laptop running Windows 8.1 64 Bit. One of my external drives keeps disappearing on me and the only way that I know of to get it back is to reboot, and this is getting old real fast.
    I have 5 external hard drives; drive 1: 500Gb, USB 2.0 western digital, drive 2: 2TB, USB 3.0 seagate, drive 3: 3TB, USB 3.0 seagate, drive 4: 4TB, USB 3.0 seagate, and drive 5: 4TB, USB 3.0 seagate. Drives 1, 2 & 5 are connected to a powered USB 2.0
    7 port hub which is plugged into one of the laptop's 4 USB 3.0 ports; the othe two drives are plugged directly into two of the other three USB 3.0 ports on the laptop.
    Drive 1 has done this once before and hasn't done it since. Drive 4 is the problem child although drive 5 has done this in the past too. Both drive 4 & 5 where purchased at the same time. At first I thought that drive 4's problem was the drive it self,
    so I had it replaced, but it still is a problem child. When it was replaced they gave me a newer version of the drive too.
    Is there a fix via Microsoft?
    I have read that there might be some sort of a fix for the registry, but when it comes to playing with the registry, I tend to make sure that I know exactly what I'm doing before hand, and right now I don't know what to do in the regestry.
    Anyone have some great ideas? 
    And thanks ahead of time for the help.

    This is probably the article that you were referring to with the registry fix:
    "Help! After installing Windows 8.1, my USB drive disappears or file transfers
    stop unexpectedly..."
    This article was updated to state that the registry workaround is no longer required, as the Update has a fix in it. However, you still might want to check the power settings and make sure 'suspend' is disabled.
    Hope this helps,

  • Time won't show in Menu; keeps disappearing

    The upper right hand area of my MacBook Pro keeps disappearing and reappearing with the little wireless icons, bluetooth, etc. every few seconds. However, the time doesn't even appear when those items reappear. Also, most of my programs including Safari and System Preferences will no longer open, and when I shut the lid of the laptop and reopen it, it restarts and doesn't go back to the screen that was on it to begin with. All of this happened after Time Machine notified me that I had not backed up in 15 days and I chose to ignore it and restart my computer. Is there any way that I can restore my computer to the way it was a week ago or another way to fix this problem?

    You can restore your computer to the way it was 1 week ago by doing the following: (note that this will set your computer EXACTLY as it was 1 week ago. any new files you made will be wiped. I would suggest manually copying any important, non-backed up files to the external drive manually, then manually restoring them):
    1. Print this page (there is no internet during this procedure).
    2. Insert your Leopard install dvd.
    3. Shut down.
    4. Start up, while holding "C" (to start from the DVD)
    5. Click Utilities>Restore From Time Machine Backup.
    6. Select the backup you want and click "Restore"
    7. Wait for it to finish (it will be a few hours-it needs to copy LOTS of data back).
    8. Restart, without holding any keys.
    Your mac should now be back to how it was at the backup you selected.
    Good luck!

  • Mac Mini keeps disappearing from network

    I have a 2009 Mac Mini running 10.9.1 that is serving as a media center computer. Plex Media Server is on this machine along with my collection of movies and TV shows. I frequently access this machine using Plex clients, both on Mac and Roku, and also via file sharing and screen sharing on other macs. I almost always manage this machine through screen sharing, which makes this problem extremely frustrating.
    Basically this mac keeps disappearing from my network. I can see it under "Shared" in finder on another computer, but when I click on it it hangs on "connecting" for a while and then just disappears. Same thing when trying to access via the Plex client on Roku. Sometimes I try to play something and it tells me to make sure my server is connected and running, and sometimes it doesn't even see my Plex media server at all.
    I have screen sharing and file sharing enabled, and the firewall is set up to allow incoming connections for screen sharing, file sharing, and also Plex and all its helper programs. I don't think any of these should be the issue because I can access the mini with no problems SOME of the time just not all the time. Seems like if I haven't connected for some unknown amount of time this problem crops up. When it doesn't work I have to trot down to the basement, turn on the monitor (100" projection screen, so kind of annoying) and restart the computer. I have tried toggling "Put hard disks to sleep when possible," and that didn't seem to have any effect. I also have the energy saver set to wake for network access.
    I do not recall having this problem as often, if ever, before I upgraded to Mavericks. Not sure if that could be part of the issue. One other quirk since upgrading to Mavericks is that upon every restart I am asked if I want to allow incoming connections for Plex and Connect 360, both of which are listed in the firewall preferences ad allowed programs.
    Can anybody help?

    See if it's related to this...
    It also seems to be related to later OSX versions, like 10.8.x & 10.9.x

  • Why would my Acrobat tab keep disappearing from my Office programs?

    Every so often, my Acrobat tab keeps disappearing from my Office programs.  It seems totally random, but happens when I am actually using the tool to convert a word doc or excel spreadsheet to PDF.  I am using Office 2007 Professional and Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. 
    I have no problems getting the Acrobat tab back by doing the following:
    1. Close the affected Office program (ie Word, Excel etc)
    2. Reopen the affected Office program as Administrator.
    3. Go into Options >Add-Ins> COM addins and delete the existing Acrobat PDFMaker COM Addin.
    4. Click OKs and close the program.
    5. Reopen as Administrator and go back to  Options >Add-Ins> COM addins and Add Acrobat PDFMaker COM Addin. 
    (The add in for me is stored at C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 11.0\PDFMaker\Office and select the PDFMOfficeAddin.dll file. )
    Once I add it back this way, it stays for sometimes up to 2 months, but then disappears again.  I've had this happen in Word and Excel.
    So getting it back is not an issue, but knowing what it happens in the first place and stopping that occurrence would be even better.
    Any help with be awesome.
    Thank you

    Yeah.. I just noticed I was missing stuff last week, and then realized that my Apple TV was not showing up in my iTunes device list. I'm just hoping that the silence on this issue from Apple is a sign that they are getting ready to push out an update to correct either itunes or Apple TV. I've read lots of complaints, and just a few remedies. I've tried the remedies (including the one on the Apple TV support site) and none of them work for me. I have noticed one thing that that I wanted to try. In iTunes->Preferences->Apple TV I have an Apple TV in the "Apple TV's connected to iTunes" window, that shows a status of syncing. Since I don't have an Apple TV in the device list, and my Apple TV was reset days ago so it is giving me the code to enter into iTunes, can I assume that this item can and should be deleted. I don't think this is going to solve my problem, but it looks like a good next step. Any suggestions?

  • My labels have disappeared from every pic in my iPhoto library after upgrade to work with yosemite

  • ITunes Library.itl keeps disappearing when iTunes starts

    I just updated to iTunes 10.8.0.40.  Now my iTunes Library.itl file keeps disappearing.
    When iTunes starts, I get a message that says, "The iTunes Library.itl file cannot be found or created.  The default location for this file is in the "iTunes" folder inthe "Music" folder."
    I copy a backup from the "Previous iTunes Library" folder and then iTunes will start.  However, the file disappears again as iTunes is starting.  Right after it disappears, iTunes displays a message that says, "Checking iTunes Library..." followed by "Updating iTunes Library..."  Then I get a message that says, "The iTunes Library file cannot be saved.  A folder was specified instead of a file."
    The process repeats endlessly.  How do I stop iTunes from deleting the iTunes Library.itl file as it starts?

    I fixed this by removing iTunes and installing MediaMonkey.  Most of the music I have in iTunes has been ripped from my CDs and MediaMonkey found all of those MP3's within a couple minutes.  The last time I had to rebuild my iTunes database, it took two days because I couldn't figure out how to stop it from analyzing the volume.  The few albums that I bought through iTunes, I will burn to a CD and re-rip.  Despite the name, MediaMonkey seems to be a much better program for managing music and runs significantly faster on my little HP mini.
    This is the fourth and last time I'm dealing with the problem of iTunes deleting my database.  Good riddance iTunes.

  • Tab page and customization keeps disappearing

    For the last two days, my tabs page and customization keep disappearing. When I open a new tab, it is completely blank, with no preloaded sites. When I try to add items such as bookmarks, home, search, adblock, etc to the address bar, they appear as if they have been added but do not appear on the page, nor do they appear after I shut down and restart Firefox. I have refreshed multiple times in the last few days. At that point, I can see the tabs page, see the settings gear, and can populate tabs, pin them etc. I can also get the customization to work. Most recently, the tab page was there, and I could see sites loaded, but the images were missing and never appeared. Sometimes when I shut down the computer, the settings are all saved, but other times they all disappear and the process starts all over again. This includes when I close Firefox with the Exit command under File rather than using the red X option.

    Other users have reported problems with FoxTab recently: the reviews for it over the last 9 months are pretty blistering: [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/foxtab/reviews/]. I don't know enough about that extension to help with that.
    But regarding the built-in main toolbar, those are changes that Firefox itself should save. Our support article "[[How to fix preferences that won't save]]" covers many of the reasons that there might be glitches with that. Another common issue is utility/privacy/security software like Advanced SystemCare that has a home page protection/browser protection feature. This can roll back your changes between sessions of Firefox. You may need to disable that feature if any of your software has it.

  • Space on boot volume keeps disappearing - crisis

    One of my customers has a Mac Pro running OSX Server 10.4.9. It was installed last October and was running fine until a few days ago. It's running afp, firewall, nat, dhcp, dns, mail, print, web (for webmail) and windows services.
    The only non-Apple things running on the machine are Now Contact/Up To Date server, Timbuktu and Retrospect. I have the same combination running on the same model hardware elsewhere without problems.
    The boot volume had about 85gb free and mail has its own dedicated volume. The boot volume is not shared or used by anyone.
    Then I had a call from the customer saying mail wouldn't send out. When I looked at the machine, the problem was that there was exactly 0 bytes available on the boot volume and postfix couldn't find queuing space.
    I deleted all the rubbish - dmg files from various installs, other files 'parked' on the dekstop etc. and got back about 8Gb. I made a note to look at the machine on my next visit and thought that was it.
    The 8Gb disappeared within a couple of hours. This time I looked a bit harder (partly because there wasn't any rubbish left to delete). Naturally, there were no files visible to finder that would account for the space used. My frantic but fairly superficial spin through ls -l in a terminal didn't show me any 'new' folders I didn't recognise. Looking at Activity Monitor, I saw that there was almost constant disk write activity going on, even though the users were apparently 'hands off' their machines. The only process using any cpu time was the Now Contact event server - so I pounced on it, thinking it was bound to be the culprit, being a buggy piece of software at the best of times. When I killed the process, the disk writing stopped.
    I got on the phone to Now Software and they told me every place they THOUGHT the program wrote to - nothing. I restarted the machine and made sure the Now Software stuff wasn't running. Everything seemed stable, except I still hadn't figured out where the lost space was. However, it started again the next night.
    Over the past few days I've been fightng a running battle to keep space above zero. I've now deleted everything in applications, utilities, library etc that I can live without and I've even gone as far as clearing every log file, but the space keeps disappearing. I'm now down to 150Mb and there's nothing left to delete so I have to find out where it's all really going to.
    I have done a file search on all the usual combinations - visible/inivisible, created/modified/bigger than/smaller than etc but nothing stands out.
    Is the server being attacked? I've shut down windows and web, and SSH was always switched off. I've been watching system.log without seeing anything obvious happening. The server has been restarted many times so it's not a virtual memory thing (I think).
    I'm depsarate. Where should I be looking?

    Good grief. First of all, thank you very mich for introducing me to du.
    Here's what I I learned (and it's obviously an accident since no-one on site would know how to do this deliberately):
    There is a volume (a real hard drive) called Archive. It's got about 90-something Gb of stuff on it. There are also three other volumes but here's the thing about Archive. I failed to notice in my earlier quick scan that /volumes contains an item called 'Archive' AND an item called 'Archive 1' - each being about the same size. When, in the finder, I deleted a folder from Archive that they could live without, it was Archive 1 that got smaller as seen by du.
    going cd /volumes/archive shows me just one folder (which doesn't exist on the real volume but did once).
    going cd '/volumes/archive 1' shows me what appears to be all the folders that are supposed to be there (on Archive). I haven't trawled right through and done an entry-by-entry check.
    On impulse, I've just loaded Workgroup Manager and looked at Sharing. Under 'All', the left hand pane shows the volumes I'd expect to see (and nothing else). Buuuuuuttttt....... under 'Share Points', the volume we know as Archive is called 'Archive 1' - with a custom afp name of 'Archive'.
    What have they done? I don't know what to delete at this point; and the trouble is that I suspended backups last week (because the catalogue files were amongst the things I removed to get some space back). I'll have to do a manual backup of Archive, verify it, and then try deleting something and see what happens.
    What I'd really like to know is what happened and how. For example, would anyone like to try and build a hypothesis whereby the server was brought up with Archive off-line, then, after some other event, Archive subsequently came on line? Is this how you might end up with two apparent volumes with the same name?

  • Reading list icon keeps disappearing

    I am using OSX 10.6.8, I use the reading list icon a lot.. the pair of glasses on the left of the toolbar, but it keeps disappearing every day. I have gone into Customize toolbar but it disappears from there also.
    Any advise on how or why it keeps vanishing would be more than welcome as frustrating the **** out of me..

    Might be corrupted Safari preferences ...
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Safari.plist
    Click Go then move the com.apple.Safari.plist file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that didn't help, from your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab.
    Switch to OFF if there are any installed, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, uninstall one extension at a time until you find the that is causing incompatibility issues with the Reading List.

  • Sidebar favourites keep disappearing

    Have recently upgraded to Yosemite 10.10 on my Mac Pro 3.7Ghz QuadCore, and now all my sidebar favourites keep disappearing.

  • ITunes movies keep disappearing

    I have a large collection of movies in iTunes and some keep disappearing.  I haven't looked for music and apps, but I'll redownload the movie from iCloud and I'll quite iTunes, reopen it, and the movie is gone again!  I went into the actual iTunes folder and the first thing I noticed was that there 4 or 5 .tmp files, exec files (iTunes Files is what it says in the quick preview), .itdb files, and .xml files.  The normal iTunes Music and Mobile Applications are in there along some others.  So I went into iTunes Music>Movies and all the movies that were missing were there and some duplicates that I redownloaded.  I would prefer not having to start a whole new iTunes folder and drag my content back in.  Is there a file that I can delete or alter that will fix it?  Please help.

    Hello Rpc30,
    There are a couple of options I have that should remedy your situation.
    The first would be to delete and re-download the items that have an exclamation mark, then redownload them from the iTunes store.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    The other option would be to search for the missing movies manually.
