Files no longer show up on server

I have a PC server with all my files on it. I work on the files from the mac. It has to be set up this way for our RIP to access the files. My question is some files are no longer showing up on the mac. They are on the PC and when I delete and copy them back to the PC they show up on the mac. Why are they not showing up on the mac anymore? Is there a easy way to fix this? I'm pretty sure its a file sharing problem but I have no idea how to fix it. Thanks

To configure a Mac OS X user account so that .DS_Store files are not created when interacting with a remote file server using the Finder, follow the steps below.
Note: This will affect the user's interactions with SMB/CIFS, AFP, NFS, and WebDAV servers.
1 Open the Terminal.
2 Type:
defaults write com.apple.desktopservices DSDontWriteNetworkStores true
3 Press Return.
4 Restart the computer.
If you want to prevent .DS_Store file creation for other users on the same computer, log in to each user account and perform the steps above—or distribute a copy of your newly modified com.apple.desktopservices.plist file to the ~/Library/Preferences folder of other target users.
These steps do not prevent the Finder from creating .DS_Store files on the local volume. These steps do not prevent previously existing .DS_Store files from being copied to the remote file server.

You don't need to maintain all versions of the upgrade chain, but many of us do in case we need to work on a legacy file. If you want to rmove a version, though, ti should be done BEFORE installing the later one. Just reinstall CS5 and things should get back to normal.

.BridgeSort Files No Longer Showing Up In Bridge

Hello, my <.BridgeSort> bridgesort files are no longer showing up in bridge? I also get an error "Bridge encountered an error and is unable to read the cache. Please try purging the central cache in Cache Preferences to correct the situation." I have tried this and it did not fix the problem. Any ideas??
Thanks!

Sam:
Would one of those files you delete be "Library6.iPhoto" located in the top layer of the iPhoto Library folder? That's the dB file that links all of the original files to the thumbnails to the albums, slideshows, etc. That's probably the most critical of any of the library files.
If you did delete it then a new one gets created and the library will essentially have no photos in it even though the originals files are still present.
If you feel that's the case then you will need do start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from the old library as follows:
1 - move the old iPhoto Library folder to the desktop.
2 - launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and, when asked, opt to create a new library.
3 - with the new library open drag the Originals folder from the old library on the Desktop into the open library window.
This will create a new library with the same rolls as in the old one. However, many of the rolls will have different dates which can be edited in the Info window at the bottom of the Source pane
To help prevent this same problem in the future read the tip at the end of my signature and Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto Library folder from the Finder.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

All My Files no longer showing in Finder

Instead all that's there is a Search bar with 'This Mac' and 'All My Files' on it and blank below it. Before it always used to show, well, all my files! What can have happened? I don't recall playing around with it or anything. This isn't really a serious thing as all my files (which are, in the main, .doc files) are safe and sound on the hard drive and I always back them up on a USB stick, but I'm just wondering what's going on? Thanks!

Hmm, why would an empty Spotlight results window be showing when you click on All My Files? I can't see anything that lets you show all the files in All My Files! I just want it to go back to how it looked before with all the files in it. As I say I can't recall doing anything to it.
If it helps, in 'Get Info' on the sidebar the path (I think that's what it's called anyway) is
/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/MyLibraries
and in 'Get Info' in the search body it's
/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources/MyLibraries/myDocumen ts.cannedSearch
I don't know what the path would be if it looked how it did before and displayed all the files.

My Church website PDF files no longer showing text.

November OK. December shows boxes, not text.
Please let me know why I can't see the text. Their tech person said all is normal on their end. I can open it in IE, but I don't want to use it. I don't want to download the PDF files, either.
Please help!

Glad that I could help.
Thank you for contacting the Mozilla support team.

As a work-around, tell Firefox to open the PDF using Adobe Reader. This will save a copy of the PDF to the temporary files on your computer. These files are wiped off of your hard drive periodically and should not take up space.
This method will not use up any more internet bandwidth than if you were to view it using the Firefox reader.
I will post more steps on how to tell Firefox to open the file using Adobe Reader below.
In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
#Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click Options (Preferences for Linux and Mac).
#In the Options (Preferences for Linux and Mac) window, select the ''Applications'' panel.
#In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
#On the right hand side you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.

Instead of showing the cover of a music track for example, I now get this generic icon:
Does anyone know why this has happened and what I can do about it?

It's not only you guys, evidently it's a brand new bug, and it is odd there is no alarm in the iTunes forum. There HAS been upset about it in the Finder forum though:

Ca'nt ftp longer (i.e. 4 minutes) flv or f4v files (get error message "waiting for server") I

when I ftp(i.e. "put" or "upload) short flv or f4v files using dreamweaver cs4 the files upload easily and quickly. However, when I try to ftp ("put" or "upload" ) longer (i.e. 4 minutes or longer) flv or f4v files it goes through the ftp process (seeing it in background activity screen) but at the end I always get a message "waiting on server" and the longer files don't get onto hosting server. Is there a setting I need to change or other method I need to use). I have worked with my hosting support tech person but we could not solve this problem.

I'd suggest that you try using a dedicated FTP program like Filezilla or SmartFTP.
http://filezilla-project.org/
Those programs give you much more feedback on what's happening as you attempt to upload files, including error messages, etc.
There is really no difference between uploading large files and small files, the process on the server is exactly the same..UNLESS there are limits to file size or video duration set by your host. So dispite the fact that you have worked with your host support, I'd still say that the problem is server side or being limited by your Internet service provider... unless the video files you are attempting to upload are corrupted.
You didn't say if any portion of the larger video files were uploaded...and FTP program will show you whether or not ANY of the file was uploaded and at what point it stopped. You also didn't mention how large the video files where.... sort of where the "tipping point" is in file size (video duration of course is no measure of file size).
Just to reassure you, the file size of a video file will have no bearing on your ability to FTP unless your host or ISP is limiting you in some way.
I regularly Live stream events and also record them. An 8 hr event will produce roughly 1.5GB of compressed video. I use SmartFTP, with a reputable host and can upload the entire set of 1.5GB of video files (each about 50MB) over a 1000kbps upload connection without problem. Recently during a movie production project, we uploaded a number of single video file which each where over 1GB a piece.
So there is really no problem uploading video files unless there are restriction on you account from the host or the ISP.
Best wishes,

How do I recover files from HP Connected Drive that no longer show up after a factory reset?

I am trying to recover files that were once visible in HP Connected Drive, after completing a factory reset. The files that I need are no longer showing up. How can I get them back?

Try using a data recovery product such as the ones listed here. Don't erase the drive or write anything else to it until the files are recovered or you choose not to recover them.

IPhone no longer shows up in iTunes: can't update files, etc.

Hi there,
For some reason (and I don't think it's the USB connection... I've tried two) by iPhone no longer shows up in the iTunes window when I connect it to my MBP. Consequently, I can't update my Address Book, or anything like that.
Does anyone know what I can do to correct this? I've tried restarting the phone (a 3G, by the way, running the new OS)

If you move and rename the the iTunes folder you won't see any music in iTunes the next time you launch it. You can quit iTunes and rename it then put it back or leave it and launch iTunes while holding Option to choose the location of the iTunes library.

IMovie '11 will no longer show project or open the project file

Upon finishing a project, I was ready to do a Share > Export Movie command, and opted first to do a restart on my computer (by first doing a File > Quit in iMovie).
Now my project no longer shows up in the projects pane!
While the import of the original footage still exists in the Event Library pane, the project is nowhere to be found in the Projects Library pane.
In addition, while the project file that sits in my iMovie Projects folder is there, it will not open!
When I option click it to open with iMovie, iMovie launches normally (displaying no messages) but does not show the project in the projects pane!
What has happened here? The iMovie Projects folder is on my internal hard drive and I have not ever moved any files around. Is there any way to get it back?
I have tried to open my project file on a different computer that is networked in the same room, but the same happens: iMovie launches normally, however the project does not appear in the the Projects Library pane.
As a test, I have created a couple new projects that I have named "Test1" and "Test2" and they indeed show up normally every time I launch iMovie or do an "open with iMovie" command from the iMovie Projects folder. But my origional project just doesn't work. Please help!
If this is of any help: my origional project comprises of a 26 minute MOV file that I have simply imported in iMovie and have added subtitles (no transitions). I had been working for two days on it, and there were 2 times early on when I had to force quit iMovie because I was getting the spinning ball - I was worried about whether the changes were saved, but each time they were indeed saved and I could access the project normally. (I had considered this was caused by a shortage of memory, so I did not think anything of it.) Since then and up to the moment of the problem, I had occasionally shut down or restarted my computer (by first doing a File > Quit in iMovie) with no problems up to now.
Looking through the forum, I have tried 1) logging in/out, 2) logging in as a visitor, 3) creating a new admin account, in addition to 4) subtracting the iMovie preferences file from the Library, but nothing has worked.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

My iphone4 no longer shows my music files?? They don't appear in iTunes either but my music is still there as 1) the 'summary' shows 28gigs

My iPhone is driving me insane! It started having problems synching the phone to iTunes (basically, iTunes was saying that it couldnt recognize the phone). After hours and hours trying to resolve the issue I found some advice on the internet. I downloaded iPhone Explorer and deleted a couple of files as suggested & this resolved the problem. The phone started to synch again and updated the phone with the latest software. However, the 'Summary' was showing all my music/video files as 'Other'.
I've since synched the phone & the problem is now even worse!!! My iPhone no longer shows any music/videos, even when I connect to iTunes! However, the summary still shows a capacity of 28 gigs so the music files are still in the phone?!? Likewise, I've checked the phone files using iPhone Explorer & the music files are still in the phone?!?
Does anybody have any idea how to fix this problem. I've only got half of music library backed up so dont want to restore as I'll lose half of my music library!

I'm happy to totally restore the phone.......once I have completely backed up my music files! I can't back up in the normal way as the music files are not recognized in the iPhone or iTunes.
The original problem occurred as a result of a corrupted synch. This seems to be a problem a LOT of people have had (based on all the Internet research I've done). I did everything suggested (uninstall/reinstall iTunes, update iTunes, reset iPhone, use a different USB port, use a different connection cable, update drivers, restart computer with iPhone connected......and nothing worked!!!). Having spent days and days looking for an answer I eventually found a solution that was supposed to work. It was suggested that I download the 'iPhone Explorer' software and delete a couple of directory files which I did. This partially resolved the issue, iTunes recognized the iPhone and updated the iOS software.
Quite simply, the music media files are still in the iPhone, it just doesn't recognise which directory the music cache is in. I need to either:-
* figure out how to get the iPhone to find the correct directory again or:
* figure out how to extract the remaining music files to create a complete back up and then restore the iPhone

Lightroom is no longer showing the .dng files

Lightroom is no longer showing the .dng files, everything else(Exif data and histogram), but no viewable picture. It did ask me for my serial number today, which I typed in. After that I went to import new RAW files, and the files themselves imported, but will not show the picture. None of my .dng files will show the picture now.

It seems that the ACR cache is either corrupt or the whole plugin might have got some corruption.
You can go ahead and delete the Lightroom x Catalog Previews.lrdata by following the location from the link below accrding to the OS. (x denotes version)
http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/preference-file-locations-lightroom-4.html.
After relaunch if it still doesnt show the images try uninstall and reinstall of Lightroom by removing it from Programs & features if on Win 7 or from Add & Remove in Windows XP.
If you are on mac just take the Lightroom complete file and trash it & directly install the most recent update of Lightroom.

I have iPad 4th Generation with iOS 6.1.3 Since my iBooks was updated to version 3.1.1 I cannot open pdf file attachment in my email. When I tap of the attachment, the iBooks icon no longer show itself. Can someone please help?

Thanks for all (Ocean20 & Courcoul) who replied.
Reset the device did not help me but it does triggers me to attempt to resend the PDF file attachment on email--and it works the 2nd time. My problem is now solved.
The Adobe Reader is very helpful--it allows me to scroll through the document easily, unlike iBooks, where I cannot scroll straight up or down.

I have iphoto 6 and my pictures are no longer showing. I have tried importing them but it just give me an error msg. (file format not recognized) I have tried rebuilding the iphoto library but that doesn't work either. Any suggestions?

I have iphoto 6 and my pictures are no longer showing. I have tried importing them but it just give me an error msg. (file format not recognized) I have tried rebuilding the iphoto library but that doesn't work either. Any suggestions?

How did you rebuild?
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/">iPhoto Library Manager</a> and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
