Files/Folders do not appear in Finder right away

I have just a few 10.4.3 machines (out of hundreds) that are having an odd Finder problem.
If the user is in either Quark 6.5, Word 2004 (11.2.1), or Photoshop CS (and probably others) and uses the Save dialog to create a new folder for their file, and saves it to either a server share (W2K3) OR their local Desktop; the folder/file will not be visible from the Finder for several minutes. Eventually though, they do appear in the Finder normally.
Another user on the network with a Finder window displaying the target folder WILL see newly created folders/files before the local user does.
Interestingly, Apple programs do not exhibit this problem. Text Edit and Preview tested.
Deleting the Finder pref file does not help.
These machines were upgraded to 10.4.3 from 10.3.x via the Upgrade option in the 10.4.3 installer.
At least one person with this problem has a brand new local home folder.
Any suggestions anyone?

You might try Rainer Brokerhoff's NUDGE contextual menu item. I have used it to force the Finder to update the size of items in a folder, but forgot to try it the other day when I was playing with some folders that refused to display their contents after being un-tarred (is that a word?). Adding a new folder immediately caused the contents to appear though.

  • Superdrive not appearing on Finder on my iMac will not burn JPG files

    Superdrive is not appearing on Finder and in drive Utilities it will not burn JPG files - says doesn't recognize the file type.  The more I am exposed to Apple the more they look like Microsoft.  If the drive doesn't work with the IMAC then why the **** do they list it with the iMAC site?

    all external usb optical drive readers and burners works
    not just the superdrive if the device does not show in finder it's not working properly

  • Thumbnails Not Appearing in Finder

    I posted this in the Leopard forumn, but I haven't gotten any response. I hope someone here can help.
    I am having a strange problem with image thumbnails not appearing in Finder. I am editing some very large TIF files on a Macbook that is running Lion. These images are edited on an external drive, and when I hook the drive up to my main iMac, which is running Leopard, the new images I have created in Lion do not have thumbnails. The only way that they will appear is if I open the images in Photoshop and just resave them on the machine running Leopard. This method poses a problem because each image takes about 5-8 minutes to open, and another 5-8 to save. I have hundreds of images and don't have the time to do that to each one.
    Does anyone know what could be causing this problem?

    I've tried repairing disk permissions, as well as deleting the finder plist file, and neither of those things work.

  • Add new tab button does not appear at the right of the previous tab

    Just upgraded to Firefox 4 and the plus sign (T) for a new tab does not appear on the right of the previous tab as it had in earlier versions. I thought it was there briefly after I upgraded but it's not there anymore. How do I get it back? I did download the extension "new tab at the end" but that didn't help....

    That button should be available by default. However, if you use tab related Add-ons it may not show up as expected. You can add it back by right clicking on the navigation bar, clicking Customize, then drag the New Tab icon to the right end of tab bar.
    If that doesn't work, please try starting Firefox in Safemode to see if add-ons are indeed interfering.

  • Document content do not appear in finder preview, quick look or cover flow

    The contents of all types of appleworks documents do not appear in finder preview, quick look or cover flow on both of my computers. The generic AWKS logo appears.
    Why does this happen and what can be done to correct this?
    I have repaired permissions a number of times and have restarted the computer.

    AppleWorks 6 was written before OS X & long before Leopard & Quick Look. There hasn't even been an update since January 2004. The ability to create the image for Quick Look likely will never happen.

    There are not currently (or at least I haven't found any) any weather apps that will appear in the Notifications Center the way the included app does on the iPhone. It's not a big deal for me but I can understand the people who want it.

  • Cannot open file it does not appear to be a valid archive

    While trying to download Oracle 8i/9i i keep getting the message
    'Cannot open file it does not appear to be a valid archive'
    Can someone please help me with this
    i have tried to download this 10 times already but of no use
    Thanks
    Rimpy

    I was getting a similar, if not the same, problem when I used IE 5.5 to download the file. It used to start extracting then stop about 75% of the way through and dump some error about the archive being corrupt and not being able to open it. After installing Netscape and disabling the download manager application, I was able to download and extrac the zip files with winzip 8 and also winrar without any problems.

    Try one of your other USB ports. Be sure to insert it with the plated fingers pointing upwards.
