Files are Not Appearing

When I download files to a articular directory, they would occasionally remain "invisible" and only appear until I restarted Finder. I've noticed that this usually occurs after I've opened the System Preferences app. Is there a permanent fix for this problem?

Hi again, this is caused by our Fully Cooperative Multitasking OS & it it being Disk based, while you want the OS to update your view, Apple is wanting t see iff you want to buy iTunes or share them, or if you want Spotlight to be able to find the Movies you downloaded a few days ago!
Youre choices are a not that easy disabling Services that SJ wants going on on yor Mac, or a workaround like...
If it's just that you need the Finder to wake up to the fact that it needs to update the window give a try with Refresh Finder - 1.3...

  • This file does not appear to be a photoshop file error.

    Hello,
    I know this has been covered a few times already, but none of the previous threads about it were able to help my situation.
    Ok so here is what i did:
    Exported a JPEG from a timeline in FCP. Brought that JPEG into PS (i am using CS3), and changed the image size from 1920x1080 to 720x480. Then saved as a JPEG, didn't tick any boxes, just used default save as settings.
    I then brought those images into my Encore DVD Project, added them to the library, then placed one into a already made menu, and "sent to back".. so it became the new background. I did this with two menu's today. Note i have actually done this same exact process many times without problem. I then tried to build a dvd image of the project, and i got the "this file does not appear to be a photoshop file". Now it won't even let me open those menu's (plus another one, which i made a long time ago, and have even successfully built DVD's with), to edit them. I tried removing all the new JPEGS i added today, from the library, but still i get the same message.
    The menu's that i now can't open, took a very long time to make, and i need to have this DVD completed ASAP.. as it is being released world wide in a couple of weeks and i need to get it replicated. So i don't actually have time to remake these menu's. So if anyone can help me, that would be much appreciated, as i have studio exec's cracking down on me.
    Thanks in advance :-)

    Now, if one Imports the JPEG with its extension changed to PSD as a Menu, then the Menu is created, including the necessary Layers. The Menu is NOW a PSD, and when Opened in PS will reflect the Layer structure (try this at home). If one had constructed Buttons in the JPEG, they would now only be graphics on that one single Background Layer in the JPEG. They would not function as Buttons, but could be useful graphics for other things. One would then need to add real Button Layer Sets to the PSD to be able to add any navigation.
    Back in the post above, I suggested doing the Save_As to JPEG to see how things get changed. Use that in another test - Import that JPEG as a Menu. In Encore, try to Link to what had originally been Buttons in that Imported JPEG. What happens? Can you Link to them, even though you are now working with the created PSD?
    Now, add a Button, or two, from the Library. Choose Edit in Photoshop, and look at the Layer and Layer Set structure. Things have changed from the original JPEG, with only the Background Layer. You now have that Library Button's Layer Set structure.
    Good luck, and hope that this helps,
    Hunt
    Here are looks at the structure, using the Library Menu Business>Clock:
    The Menu in PSD with the Layers Palette Open
    Same Image With Layers Flattened to Save As a JPEG
    What the JPEG Looks Like As a Flattened JPEG
    The only way to Import that JPEG into Encore as a Menu would be to change the file extension to PSD, but what appear to be Buttons would NOT be Buttons, but just static pixels in the Background.

  • Entourage 2000 - sent emails are not appearing in "sent items" folder

    I am using Entourage 200 with POP account. I have the preference for "save copies of sent messages in the Sent Items folder" clicked since I install it a year ago. But a couple of days ago, all my sent emails have vanished. Even new emails I compose and sent out are not appearing in the "sent items" folder. I did hit "option" when openning the program and everything verify ok. Any help would be greatly appreciate.

    Since this is the Mail & Address Book - Tiger discussions/forum for Apple's Mail and Address Book applications, you probably won't get much help here with your question.
    What is the size of your Entourage database file? Entourage uses a single large database to store all application data and I believe Entourage X has a 4 GB database size limit.
    Does hit the option key when launching Entourage perform the database rebuild function? If not, do a search with Entourage help with "rebuild" for instructions.

  • "This file does not appear to be a Photoshop file"

    Ok, I used the first edition of Encore in the past, but I just installed the version that came with Premiere CS3. I used Photoshop 6.0 to do my menus in the past, but just installed the trial of Photoshop CS3.
    Two things:
    My old menus I created in Photoshop 6.0 won't import into the new Encore.
    The new menus (I opened my old menus with CS3 and saved them out.) won't import into Encore either. In both cases, Encore says:
    "This file does not appear to be a photoshop file."
    The files are indeed all photoshop .PSD files and the Photoshop 6.0 files are actually menu files that were in the same .ncor project I used on the old Encore and opened on the new one.
    Why won't Encore read these?
    Thanks!

    Bummer,
    I hoped that I had helped.
    Let's play 20 Questions:
    The PSD files were originally created in PS 6, and you have Opened them in PS-CS3, from which they were Saved. Correct?
    Did CS3 throw any error messages?
    You state that they were Menus in Encore. Which version, and did they function perfectly there?
    I assume that when used in a previous ver. of Encore, they did function, but now you have Opened, worked on and Saved from PS-CS3. What changes were made?
    Was the Color Mode, or Bit-Depth changed, or were Alpha Channels introduced?
    Has your OS been changed?
    Will these files still Open fine in PS-CS3?
    I'm trying to find the point that they ceased to Import, as they should and find out what might have changed with them. You might want to do a bit of a timeline on the life of these files, i.e. 1.) created in PS6. 2.) used as Menus in Encore2. 3.) Opened and changed in PS-CS3 by doing X. 4.) Saved out as PSDs and attempted to Import into Encore CS3 with above error message...
    Something has to have changed, and the task is to find out what that is/was.

  • "there was a problem connecting to the server. URLS with the type 'file' are not supported"

    i have a new macbook pro 13" and every 6 minutes or so it pops up a window that says "there was a problem connecting to the server. URLS with the type 'file' are not supported". it never seems to cause any problems but is supremely annoying. how can i make this come to an end?

    I tried someone's solution of taking another external disc and plugging it in, then when it showed up and time machine asked if I wanted to use it or that someone might be trying to trick me, I chose not use it.  Then I  shut down my computer, plugged in the original Lacie, and rebooted the computer and all seems to work fine now-- the Lacie appears on my desktop and all seeems to be in working order. Who knows why or anything else,- as weird as it gets- but for now things seemed fixed--- maybe others can try this too-- it worked for me so far.

  • File Icons Not Appearing in Finder

    Over the years I have archived projects on CDs and DVDs. I have always worked on Macs. No PC involvement. I have been doing this since 1987. Over the past couple weeks I have noticed that the icons of files (not folders) on my older disks are not appearing. I am using the latest Mac OS 10.8.3 on a MacBook Pro. However, on a friend's older Mac Pro tower (Intel), running an older OS (10.6.8), the file icons do appear. Also, it seems that all folder icons do appear on both systems. I have searched the Internet for an answer. I have a lot of old files that I currently cannot seem to access because of this issue. Can anyone shed any light on this? I think it may be an OS issue.

    Hi,
    I was under the impression that the Disk Level info was the bit that had the problem.
    I am not sure why I ended up with that thought as you clearly state it is contents type info such as tiffs and the like you cannot "see" for long.
    The Site did help with that.
    I dug out a old Mag CD with a game on in.
    I do not suffer losing sight of any of the files no matter which view I adopt.
    It lists the Mac OS Standard as the format and the Roman encoding your Video and pics show.
    (Strangely it says it was Modified  and the date is before the listed Modified dates of the files and folder it contains).
    I don't have any self created disks from that time to test.
    I am at a loss myself now.
    Sometimes, as in my Pic, the Applications that were written for OS 9 (Classic era) and earlier have the no entry sign over them.
    Other times the items will show a generic file icon as it has "lost" which app it belongs to.  (Which the PRAM reset deals with)
    Your files clearly show the icons of the apps that would normally open them.
    Files or folders that are normally hidden don't get counted in Quick Look or other forms of veiwing the contents, such as the lower bar in my pic.
    It would appear the OS is reading the Disk properly but  then deciding that it is not going to display all of it.
    I tried viewing the files on my drive if different views - iCon and Cover Flow for certain - but did not notice any difference in what was presented.
    If you have the Disk Open and in the Finder > View Menu > Show View Options and then choose Show Icon Preview do you get to see the tiff files at all ?
    I would also try the Size change in the Cover Flow view just to see if it is something about the icon data that is "missing" or being mis-read.
    I am clutching at straws at this point.

  • PDF files are not opening in IE!!!

    Some PDF files are not displayed while opening in browser IE . The PDF files are generated through servlets (JWS 2.1). While analysing the problem we have found that the one request invokes the doget() method of the servelet more than once. This problem is not appearing in netscape.
    Please give suggestions.

    I am having the same sort of problem. I have a form posting to a servlet that displays a pdf based on the vars posted to it. My doPost() calls doGet(). When I post to the the servlet the doPost() is called and then it calls the doGet() and then SOMETHING else calls the doGet() again. Since the vars that I am using to load the pdf are posted they are out of scope for the second doGet(). I tried two things to fix this:
    I changed my doPost() method to do nothing but check the request variables and hold on to them. Then I changed my doGet() to use the values that I held instead of the request vars. This only worked sometimes.
    Then when I rolled all of my code back and changed my form from POST to GET everything worked fine. It seems that there is something that causes the browser to always call the GET when you are using application/pdf. If my doPost() calls my doGet() everything is lost on the second doGet()

  • LabView 2010 Applicatio​n Builder for EXE Always Included files are not Included

    In LabVIEW 2010 F2, When I am using the Application Builder to build an EXE file, I have listed 10 or so files to Be "Always Included". But when I Explore the directory where the EXE was built, those "Always Included" files are not there or in any subdirectory under the EXE file.
    This frequently makes my EXE file not work properly because important files are missing. I have to spend extra debugging time to find out the the cause of my problem is missing files that the Application Builder should have transferred "Always".
    Why did the Application Builder, when building an EXE target, not include the files that should be "Always Included"?
    Why does the Application Builder ignore these files specifications?

    Dennis Knutson wrote:
    The build does include files you select. Post an example project with a small VI and some separate files where this does not happen.
    No, it does not appear that all of the files that I listed in the "Always Include" list are copied during the Build process to the Build directory or any subdirectory under that.
    The Build Source Files.jpg file shows most of the list of the files that should be "Always Included". Notice the .VI and .ctl files that are listed
    The Build Directory.jpg file shows the file in the Build directory that were built.
    The Data Directory.jpg file shows the data directory under the Build directory and may include some of the files listed in the "Always Include", but not all of them.
    The other subdirectories under the Build directory were created by me and do not include any files that were copied during the Build process.
    So not ALL of the files that were included in the "Always Include" list were copied into the Build directory area as expected. ALL of the files that are listed as "Always Include" should be copied, if they exist. Those files existed when then were selected for the List and they existed at the time of the Build.
    I can not include an example project that demonstrates this. I am prevented from doing so by the terms of an NDA. You are going to have to take my word that this event is real and happens the same way every time. This information should be sufficient for someone to investigate why do not ALL of the files listed in the "Always Include" list are copied into the Build directory area regardless of the file type or contents.

  • In Mac OS X Yosemite, Finder / Favorites / All My Files, "Today" files are not displayed.

    After upgrading MacBook Pro to OS X Yosemite, "Today" files are not displayed in Finder / Favorites / All My Files.  It worked prior to the upgrade.

    After further investigation, it is not the displaying of "Today" files that is the issue.  It appears that Finder / Favorites / All My Files is not correctly finding & displaying files when using the View / Arrange By / Date Last Opened criteria.  If I switch the criteria to / Date Modified, it finds & displays the file correctly.  See attached screen shots.  (It is possible that this problem existed before Yosemite, as I don't recall which criteria Finder was using before the upgrade.)

  • Record set file names not appearing ?

    Could anyone tell me why the file names for the record sets that I'm creating don't show up. The "lightning bolts" representing the data show up under the rs name and it appears within the code, but the file names are not next to the bolts as expected ?
    Thank you,
    Fred...

    Hello PZ,
    Thanks for jumping in and trying to help. Sorry for my ignorance when 
    it comes to this as I am just diving into the world of data bases 
    using php and mysql. I believe I was referring to the created "table 
    set name" and the "fields" within them (see bottom) . In the bindings 
    panel the lightning bolts appear under the created table set, but the 
    name of the table set is not appearing and these highlighted file 
    names "fields" that should be next the lightning bolts to identify 
    them are not appearing. These names , and so on 
    appear in the code but not in the bindings panel next to the lightning 
    bolts to help me identify which one I am choosing .
    The php page is working the way I want but I have to go through the 
    process of elimination to figure out which "field" e.g   
    I'm choosing when placing them in a table in my dreamweaver page. I 
    hope I am explaining myself properly and thank you very much again for 
    your efforts.

  • Symbols Saved are not Appearing

    Symbols I save from my document library to my common library are not appearing in my common library. I also try to save a graphic element as a symbol and choose "Common Library, and that's not appearing in my Common Library. Any idea why? I am using CS5.
    Thank you.

    Not sure what to suggest, but I'd check and/or try the following:
    File path. Are the symbols located within the Common Library of your user library Application Support folder? It's a little unclear from your reply, which says ‘custom library’ (not a recognized file path/folder name).
    Quit and restart. Try quitting and restarting the application, and see if the symbols appear in the Common Library panel. If that has no effect, then try shutting down and restarting the computer.
    New location. Try saving the custom symbols directly into the application's Common Library folder (instead of within the application support folder), and see if that works.
    If none of this helps, keep in mind that you can always export symbols from the Document Library into a Libraries folder, or import symbols directly from other documents, without involving the Common Library.

  • Files do not appear in Finder

    When I launch Finder, files do not appear in any folder except "All My Files." If I look in any other folder, such as my user folder, Documents, Downloads, Applications, etc., nothing appears. It is as if those folders are completely empty -- but they are not, because I can open files from "All My Files" and see that they are located in the various folders that appear to be empty in Finder.
    For example: when I open "Applications" from my Dock, I see all the application icons. If I open "Applications" in Finder, I see . . . nothing at all.
    I have tried searching for answers in the forums and see nothing that helps. Thanks.
    Also, I can't even tell you what operating system I am using, because when I click on "About This Mac" it does nothing. I know it is a relatively recent application, since I purchased this MacBook Pro within the last 6 months.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
