Files not showing on windows shares

Hello.
I have a windows XP desktop machine and an OS X Tiger macbook.
I've enabled sharing on a folder on the Windows XP machine and can access the folder, but certain folders show as empty, when they are most definitely not.
This share works just fine with a Linux box and with other windows XP machines.
Any ideas?
Thank you in advance,
Lior Cohen.

I had similar problems. I could always mount the directory but couldn't see any of the files. I finally tracked the problem down to the user name I was using to login from the Mac being in a different XP security group than I had assumed. Once I changed the group membership, it worked as it should.
The solution took awhile to find because my XP laptop is also used on my work LAN and therefore uses "professional" sharing not "simple" sharing. Professional sharing is much more complicated to troubleshoot. You have professional sharing on your XP machine if you see a "permissions" button on the share tab when you click properties on the file/directory.
Here a two good links that might help.
If you have professional sharing:

If you have simple sharing:

Good luck. My apologies if this is too basic for you but I've been working with computers since the early 1970's and still find networking a pain to configure.

Avchd files not showing in windows 7 for import to elements

Hi I just bought elements 9. I am using windows 7 and a panasonic lumix g3 camera which records in AVCHD lite.
If I try to to lets load some video files - open the organizer click file> get photos and videos>from files and folders with my sd card in the computer and select and view the files in a folder none of the video files are shown. All the photos files are there JPEG and raw but not the video, no thumbnails, no list, no nothing. the files are there I just cant see them so i cant import them so I can't use Premier elements. I cant find much about this anywhere either and am really hoping someone can help. Ideally I need to see a thumb nail to seletc files. thanks

First, make sure you have the latest version of Quicktime.
Then, instead of using the Organizer to get the video from the camera, set up a Premiere Elements project using the settings for AVCHD Lite 720p60 (720p50 if PAL) and then use Premiere Elements' Get Media/From Flip AVCHD and Hard Disk Camcorder tool to get the video from the camera.

My computer is not showing up in share monitor

Hi
I was happily creating and sharing files to Vimeo from Final Cut Pro x - When I had a kernal panic - Hard reset and now "My Computer" does not show up in share monitor - It says no clusters found - When I goto share a file to vimeo now nothing happens ..
Any clues - I am going mad....

There is nothing to fix, it is not supposed to show up there. It will only show there as a 'camera' if there are photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc which you might want to then copy to your comptuer.
What do you want to do with the iPad via My Computer ?

IPhoto files not showing up in list

I have many photos on my new MacBook Pro, but when I try to "attach" them to emails, they are not showing up in the listing. I am a new Mac user, but so I don't know how to explain this. If this was a PC, it would be like files not showing up under "My Computer." PhotoBooth photos are listed though. Why is this?

Then something has happened to the permission and or attribute settings on your folders to mark files saved in them as hidden.
Try this Terminal command to show all files and you can turn it off by changing the true to false at the end of the command.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true
If you then see your files tere is a problem with files being market as hidden when they are saved. Create a New Folder in the Root of the drive and look at its Get Info window and post a screen shot of it in this thread.

External Drive Files Not Showing Up on Mac but files do shows Up on PC

External Drive Files Not Showing Up on Mac but files do shows Up on PC
i had the Ex HD for about 3 years running smoothly on my mac but recently everything disappeared. plunged it into a pc to see if it read my files and it did. what can i do? to make it work on mac again. i don't want to reformat that drive because i have important applications (DMG) and other zip photo video files in the drive.

...i have tried "verify" & "repair" but they didn't pass the san test. and when i "unmounted/mount" a error message popped up say that there is a application running off the drive but there nothing (i see) running, to close all activity

File not showing in SharePoint (IE) but visible in Explorer

I have a document library that has a single file not showing up that I can't seem to track down. I am hoping someone here might be able to offer something I haven't thought of.
The document library is very much 'stock'. Verisioning is turned on and minor revisions aren't viewable to folks without edit rights. I am the admin with full control to everything - as is the user this initially impacted. The file will show
in the Explorer view - but isn't viewable in an 'all files' file via the browser or when attempting to open via Excel. If we provide the full path/file it does open successfully in Excel and offer the Check Out option - but it won't show up
in the 'File Open' dialog.
I thought at first it might be a matter of not having a version checked in - but it isn't showing under "Manage files which have no checked in version" menu. I've gone through the various SharePoint view options and can't find anything there either.
What would make a single Excel file in such an ordinary document library not be visible to users with full control rights? We have roughly 80k files stored in SharePoint overall - so please don't read this as being our initial test of SharePoint.
I'd really appreciate any ideas...

Just to add a few more details. I have been able to add the file to a different library and they uploaded fine. The library in question is created off of a template and has 2 metadata fields. The fields are also being used in the other library, but that
was created from a different template.
The site and initial 4 libraries were created from a site template and then the library was added from a different library template. Checking ULS logs now, but doubtful I will find anything.

My ipod touch 4g does not show in Windows 7 or itunes. I've removed and reinstalled itunes, stopped and started apple mobile services and changed out cables. Ipod is charging when connected. I've also done a complete rollback to factory defaults.

Did you remove and reinstall all the Apple software by:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
Run this to see if it helps determine the cause
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
Try on another computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem'
Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

The file name only has 6 characters and I'm not sure what the .mod format is. So that's why they are not seen by the iPad.
Another way to transfer. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

Could anyone in there show me the best solution for the same
thanks in advance

First of all does, the iPod power on okay?
Have you tried plugging the iPod into a different USB ports, preferably a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC tower (these are directly soldered onto the motherboard and receive much high outputs of power than the ones on the front).
What about a different USB sync cable?
What shows up on the iPod's screen when you connect it? Does it charge at all? Maybe try resetting it with it still connected to your PC. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
