Files not showing up in folders

Files not showing up in folders. Saving files to folders, opening folders which are blank

  • Imported files not showing up in folders

    I've imported .psd files into a folder of .dng images so I can stack them with their originals. They were all saved with Max Compatibility and LightRoom seems to import them ok, but they don't show up in the grid or filmstrip. Their folder listing has a + sign by the file total and in the folder hierarchy on the filmstrip panel it says that it's showing 82 of 95 photos. How can I get these .psd files to appear?
    If I check the actual folder on the hard disk, the .psd files are there. If I remove them from the folder and try to re-import them, I get a message saying they are already there.
    This hasn't happened every time I've done this action, but a number of my folders show this problem.

    For *.jpg and *.nef (RAW) files the handling is similar:
    If there is a *.nef (RAW) file in the source directory, a *.jpeg with same name will be copied by LR into the destination directory, but the *.jpg will not be included in the LR database.
    The problem is, that LR does not report this to the user. LR should open a popup window after import listing the files not added to the database (as it does for duplicates).
    Personally I'd find it better if LR would import everything to disk AND database. It should perform an automatic stacking for files with same name but different type. The RAW or DNG should be on top of stack of course.

  • Some files not showing anymore in folders on smb-share (lc_ctype error)

    I use a shared folder on my iMac for my work projects.
    After the upgrade to Mavericks, I noticed that Dreamweaver CS 6 did not show all files and folders anymore in several projects.
    This is on a Windows 7 machine.
    The same thing happens when in FileZilla, so it's not a specific Dreamweaver issue.
    When I go to a troubled folder in FileZilla I get this error (in Dutch):
    "Een lokale bestandsnaam kon niet gedecodeerd worden. Zorg ervoor dat de LC_CTYPE (of LC_ALL)-omgevingsvariable juist is ingesteld. Totdat u het probleem oplost, kunnen er bestanden ontbreken in de bestandslijsten. Er zal geen waarschuwing meer getoond worden gedurende deze sessie."
    Translation:
    "A local file could not be decoded. Ensure that the LC_CTYPE (or LC_ALL) environment variable is set. Until you solve the problem, you are missing files in the file list. There will be no warning displayed during this session properly."
    When I go to thew same folder in Windows Explorer all files are shown.
    When I use Dreamweaver CS6 on the iMac no errors occur and every file just shows fine.
    It seems it only occurs in random directories of the local files of website projects I maintain with Dreamweaver
    If anyone ones how to fix this, I would realy REALY appreciate this.
    This totaly kills my workflow.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • HT4101 I am trying to connect my JVC Hard Disk Drive Camcorder to my IPAD 2 via the Apple camera kit. I am able to down photos, but video files not showing. Camera shows Mass Stoarge. How can I download videos please.

    I am trying to connect my JVC Hard Disk Drive Camcorder to my IPAD 2 via the Apple camera kit. I am able to download photos, but video files not showing. Camera shows Mass Stoarge. How can I download videos please?

    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.)

  • Anyone else having issues with folders / files not showing or showing stragely?

    Device: MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014)
    If I open a new window from the desktop (Apple N), the folder either shows it's empty (even though it it's not) or the text has black bars over, or the text is jumbled.
    My downloads folder is actually full of files, but shows empty:
    Funky text (I intentionally blurred parts of the images, but the fonts get jumbled on their own):

    I have a mid 2010 mini (with Mountain Lion) and I just recently noticed I was experiencing this problem.The timezone thing didn't work for me.
    I *may* have fixed it though. I went into the Security / Privacy settings, selected the privacy tab, and *there* turned off location services and turned it back on.
    I think that worked - keep your fingers crossed! (So far, so good.)

  • How do I fix a problem with .eps files not showing up properly in icon view

    Actually my .eps files are not showing properly in any of the views but icon view is most important to me.  I am using OSX.8.5 on a mac mini and mac book air.  Almost all of my .eps files are conversions of .wmf files converted to .eps by WMF Converter software.  All of these files used to be on a PC running windows Vista using ST Thumbnails explorer to be able to view thumbnails.  For background info: I had to use a program to view the WMF files becasue hackers could put viruses into the thumbnail for WMF fies so instead of fixing the problem Microsoft disabled the thumbnail view for all WMF files. 
    A few of my .eps files are conversions of files created in CorelDraw 3x and converted to .eps in CorelDraw 3x.  Both types of .eps files misbehave the same.
    I downloaded one .eps file today from the internet to see if it would misbehave the same way (it does).
    Here is the problem: After a reboot when I first view a folder that contains .eps files in icon view I can see the file contents fine.  If I use the resize slider at the bottom of the window or resize the window itself then some or all of my .eps files revert to displaying the "generic icon" of a Loupe with a picture behind it.  If i can manage to put the resize slider to exactly where it was then my icons display the file contents as they did before I messed with the slider.  There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to when an icon will display as the file contents or when the generic icon comes up.  In some folders all the icons display correctly at the smallest icon size and in other folders the icons may display correctly or as only generic or a mix of generic and file contents.  Icons to files that came from the same source will not necessarily display the same way.  Icons to files that came from the same source and were converted by WMF Converter at the same minute do not necessarily display the same way.  If I display "info" for the files sometimes the previev pane of the info box will display the generic icon or sometimes it will show the file contents.  If I take an .eps icon that displays properly and drop it into a folder where all .eps icons are displayed as generic then that icon displays generic.  When I move that same icon out of that folder then it will display properly.  Icon view, list view, column view and cover flow view all display differently with no discernable pattern.  Sometimes I can see file contents in column view and not icon view.  Sometimes in cover flow and not in icon view.  It makes no difference if I have a handful of .eps files in a folder or hundereds of files in a folder.  After an undetermined amount of time the icons might display properly again or maybe not.
    What I have done so far:  exhaustive search of the internet did not find anyone else with the same issue.  I checked and fixed all disk permission errors that disk utilities would fix.  I know that icon view and quick look are two different things, but, I did however, download and install an eps quicklook plugin that did not seem to make a difference for my issue.  BTW Quick look sometimes works and sometimes not (no discernable pattern to this behavior either).  I tried the cnet download fix for quicklook just for grins.  It had me force QL to reload plugins and it's cache then I cleared out the QL configuration files.  This did not seem to make a difference in the behavior of icon view or Quicklook.  The only two things I have found to be consistant are 1)  The "open with preview" always works but I know this is different because this preview actually generates a pdf view of the file. 2) When the icon does display the file contents it always displays correctly.
    When you read this please be mindful of:  I am a Microsoft refugee not yet familiar with the Apple world so you may have to tell me how to do "simple" things.  I have no idea what is the difference between a "thumbnail" or a "preview" or the behind the scenes way that apple generates the icon appearance for the 4 different views. 
    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.  I tried to insert a screen shot but got an error message when I did it.

    Was the error number really 0XE8....

  • The Path to nowhere - help! swf files not showing in browser

    i need help with getting a swf file to show in the browsers. (it previews in dreamweaver)
    created a website in dreamweaver cs4. created a simple slideshow in flash 4.
    on the index.html page inserted the flash file.
    it previews in dreamweaver BUT when i text in browsers it shows as a white box.
    have been reading through all the info about paths etc.
    can you simplify this entry below from adninjastrator on the adobe forums sept 19 2011???........
    "Still looks like a pathing problem to me. For review:
    Pathing issues
    Almost always when it works on the local machine and not the server, it's a pathing problem.
    You can put your Flash related files in whatever folders you want, they do NOT have to be in the root, they do NOT all have to be in the same folder. But if you have a problem and if sticking them all in the root folder works, then you know that the issue was a pathing problem.
    Just remember that paths used in the .swf become relative to the Web page on which the .swf is placed, NOT it’s physical location.  So for example, if your .swf is in the flash/data folder and you use that .swf on a Web page in the root folder, you are in effect, removing that .swf from flash/data and putting it in root. So if the .swf is loading any related files (xml, images, video, etc), the path used inside the .swf to load the .xml file has to be relative to it's new location in root and then back down into flash/data. This is true even though when testing the .swf by itself, it can be inside flash/data and work just fine, since relative to it's location, the path is just fine, they are in the same folder. But if that same path is used when the .swf is placed on a page two folder levels up, the relative path has changed, the old "same folder" path will not work.
    In fact if you are placing the .swf on a web page in a different folder than the .swf is stored in, and that .swf calls external assets, then direct clicking and opening of the .swf in it’s folder should NOT work! That’s because the paths to the external assets should be relative to the Web page and not the physical location of the .swf.
    So just be sure that you use addresses relative to the final Web page locations (not physical file locations) and you can put the Flash related files in what ever folders you want.

    i am not sure why this sounds so foreign to me.....
    i understand the page code instructs the browser to find and load the flash file from a path.
    i do not understand "/2812gtbros.swf (i.e. start at the root of the site and look for that filename in that location)
    i have the html fla and swf file in the folder on my computer named 212GTflashpics (2012freelance/2012gtbrothers/212GTflashpics/2812gtbros.swf) and i have it in the website folder GTbrothers1 with all the images scrpts sprys and html files
    the files be in the website folder o
    in your previous Question...
    "This line -
    <param name="movie" value="/2812gtbros.swf" />
    is telling the browser to look for the flash file in the root of the website.  Is that where it is?"
    what is before the / in the value=" /2812gtbros.swf? wouldnt that tell us the path of the file?

  • Not all iTunes Files not showing up on External HDD

    My old TC (the flat model from back to 2008 I think it was) broke down the other night so I removed the WD 2.0TB HDD (containing over 30'000 music files) to run this as an external HDD. I had swapped the original 500Gb with a 2TB drive which worked super for a couple of years.
    Anyway, before all of this happened all songs showed up on iTunes and each single one could be played correctly from iTunes (without the ! should the file not be found) so all files were located through iTunes to the correct directory. Only one directory for my Music files...
    Now, when I connect the HDD through an USB cradle (nothing has been touched on the drive) only a fraction of the files actually show up in the directory which is very odd indeed? I believe it was the same when the thing was actually working but didn't give it a think as it was doing what it was expected to do.
    Next step was that I copied the whole HDD over onto my MAC and sizewise all (?) the files came over but still not all are showing...
    So, how can I make sure all the files are being included as I want to move them all over to my new 2TB TC?

    Thanks Limnos for taking your time with this.
    Here's what happened
    1) All my Music was stored on a TC 2.0TB WD hard disk which I shared with my partner.
    2) All music in iTunes were mapped to this specific location and only this location.
    3) When opening the folder on the TC only a fraction of the actual music folders were available to see (i.e. Artist The Wonder Stuff folder was present and in this folder only 2 album folders were found when in fact there should have been 12)
    4) All songs in iTunes did play correctly so if i wanted to listen to one of the The Wonder Stuff songs they would all play (even albums that did not show up in the artist folder from above).
    5) When clicking show file in finder, the file would show up and then again when going back manually into the folder as above.
    6) TC dies on me. No more power.
    7) Took out the HDD and put it in a cradle to extract the songs.
    8) Right click on the folder shows there are about 35'000 files which sounds right BUT only a fraction of these can be seen.
    9) Now I cannot do the show in finder through iTunes as the directory no longer exists (the TC died and I threw it away, except for the HDD).
    10) The files are on the HDD but I cannot see but a fraction of them when opening the folder...
    I hope this makes it a little more clear.
    I honesty do not know what to do as I know the files are there but cannot see them and thus map them in iTunes... :-(

  • Files not showing up on external Drive

    I'm having this really strange and irritating issue with my external hard drive in 10.5.
    I use a folder named "incoming" on an external usb HDD for all my miscellaneous downloaded files, but for some reason, when the transfer completes in the download application, the new files don't appear there. Similarly, when I unzip or create new files on this drive, they'll inevitably either disappear, or folders will appear empty.
    Even stranger, I can actually see all these files and use them like normal if I open my external drive by typing "open /Volumes/Storage" in Terminal, but if I browse through Finder, half are missing.
    I was using this drive in Tiger with no issues, it's HFS+ formatted and I've tried running Verify/Repair in Disk Utility to no avail.
    UPDATE: Upon looking at the mount point of the drive in finder, it says it's mounted at "/Volumes/Storage 1". When I open that mount point in Terminal I can only see some of the files, but when I open "/Volumes/Storage" I can see all the files.

    I have a customer also reporting this same issue with files copied to an external RAID not showing up in Finder, since the 10.5.2 update / Leopard Graphics 1.0 updates. Zapping PRAM fixed the problem temporarily but after a day it's come back. [This is only one of four identical iMacs updated in the same manner that is showing the problem].

  • Some Thumbnail images not showing up in folders? just a icon

    Just bought a Brand new Mac with i7 processor. It did not come with Lion installed though. So before doing anything I upgraded to the free Lion update. So here is the issue.
    For some reason i cant view preview thumbnail images of some .ARW and .jpg files in some folders, while others I can. I made sure all the "view options" were set and everything. Also moved files to new folders. So here is what I did.
    1. Reformated and Reinstalled Snow Leopard and put my .ARW files and the preview thumbnails show up in all folders with no issues. Then I updated to Lion again and now some show and some don't. The funny thing is that now files that did not show thumbnails the first time now does, and some that shown thumbnails now don't. Its different each time I install Lion OS
    2. I removed the hidden .DS_Store files in these folders just to make sure those where not effecting it as well, but it did not do anything after a new one appeared.
    Whats up with Lion? known bug? I did a search and did not hear about this issue yet? Am I the first lucky one?

    I am having similar problems with viewing jpgs in preview / finder in 10.7... but only those that were create by either lightroom or photoshop ( LR 3 / PS CS4) after installing Lion... they preview fine in bridge and every other app.... Just not in Finder etc....
    Very annoying!
    If anyone has any suggestions, I am all ears.

  • Why do changes to a .pdf file not show up in iBooks?

    I have a number of important and useful documents in .pdf format that are stored in iBooks on my iPad.  I added a new document to the iTunes library and then synced the iPad.  Voila!  The new document showed up in the PDFs section of the iBooks collections.  Then, I recognized that I needed to update some information in the document, so I opened the original (on my Mac) in Adobe Acrobat and added a few comments using the Typewriter tool.  I then reimported it to the library in iTunes, then synced the iPad again.  My added material was not in the document as it appeared in iBooks.  OK, I deleted it from iTunes, synced the iPad again and the file was gone from iBooks, as I intended.  I then reimported the new file with the added material into the iTunes library and synced again.  The file still did not show my added material.  I can look at the file in iTunes, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Reader, even Preview and the file looks fine.  I even changed the file name.  The only place it does not look right is in iBooks.  I can print it in any of the aforementioned applications and it looks fine.  I suppose I could print it, scan it and then import it to iTunes yet again, but that seems to be kind of a stupid workaround.
    I have done everything I can possibly think of.  I have deleted the file from iBooks on the iPad, then deleted the file from iTunes, restarted, burrowed into the iTunes Library file (Users->myname->Music->iTunes->iTunes Music->Books->filename) and deleted the file directly from there and then emptied the Trash, restarted the iPad after deleting the file from iBooks, tried adding the information as a text box in Acrobat (instead of using the Typewriter), I've shaken my fist repeatedly, burned some white sage, even considered throwing my iPad across the room.
    In desperation, I finally printed and scanned the page I needed, then opened the original file in Acrobat, added the new page and deleted the old one.  Then, I reimported the file into iTunes and synced the iPad.  Now I have what I need with the same file name as before.  It's actually the same file, just modified by swapping pages.  But, why in the **** can I not just add what I want to that particular page using Acrobat and then reimport that?
    I am not a newbie.  I still have my old Mac Plus out in the garage.  I use Acrobat, Photoshop, Bridge and InDesign on a regular basis, so I am no stranger to Adobe products.  Am I missing something?  Something unbelievably simple?
    (OK, deep, cleansing yoga breath...)
    Even though I found a workaround, I'd still like to know why I couldn't do what I wanted to do.

    Thanks, Demo, I'll give that a shot. On the other hand, I really don't want to have some files in iBooks and other ones in Adobe Reader. If Adobe Reader will let me organize them in folders, it might be a great solution.
    However, there's no ".pdf management" involved here. It's simply "Read the #%€\#^% .pdf file I gave you" and there is nothing to "manage". Whatever opinions Apple has about Adobe, .pdf is a fact of life and should not require any handstands and backsprings just to read a file. (Are you listening, Apple?) I refinanced my home with .pdf files; print it, sign it, scan it, e-mail it back. (OK, calm down, it'll be all right... Sigh...)
    Whatever the result, I'll report back.
    Thanks again.

  • Files not showing when i try to open them in Adobe apps or Dreamweaver

    I recently switched to Mac and currently have two machines, one at home and one at work. I noticed a few days ago while working on my mac at home that when opening files in photoshop or dreamweaver, files and folders were not showing, and i was only able to open them through the finder... i thought it might have been a problem with the portable USB hard drive, but the drive works perfect in my computer at work. Now, two days later im having the same problem with the mac at work, but this time accessing files in a network drive that we all share.
    The number one problem I have is that while working in dreamweaver when placing an image in my HTML, i cannot see the file when looking for it.
    Seems like the files in the finder are cached and only certain ones are displayed....
    Any ideas? HELP!
