Files not showing up in shared folder

I am in a network environment (8 G5 imacs and a G4 Power Mac Server) The G5's are running OSX 10.3.9 and the G4 Sever is running Max OSX Sever10.3. Two of the G5 imacs need to unmount the shared folder and remount to see new content placed in the folder from others. For example: Someone places a Quark file in the shared folder, everyone else can see it right away. The other two need to trash (eject) the shared folder, then reconnect to it to see that Quark document. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas as to why this is happening or possible fixes?

I'm not sure if this is a fix for you, but I've solved a lot of my networking issues by using a freeware program called SharePoints. Maybe it would help?

  • Printer not showing up in "shared folder"

    Hello everyone:
    Have B&W G3 when using under 10.2.8 printer( HP 4m) attached thru combo of ethernet/appletalk using asante bridge the printer shows up under "shared printer" and can be accessed thru my wireless network. When I upgraded to 10.3.9 the HP 4m printer does not show up in the "shared printer" folder but shows up only in B&W G3 printer folder and can only be used printer from B&W G3. To gain network access to the HP 4m I have to reboot my B&W G3 back into 10.2.8. ? Any solutions. Thanx
    Margie

    That's great that everything is working for you, and I do appreciate your following this thread and your help. I too work in a print design environment with 5 G5's and 1 20" iMac all running 10.4.6. Like your office, everything works well. These machines have been on the bleeding edge of both Adobe and Apples' updates, and rarely have problems... Unfortunately, this is not the case for my powerbook, which is why I continue to post this question. My very un-scientific theory is that all of the machines that can print were setup while they were running earlier versions of tiger or panther, however, my PB was not. coincidence?
    Anyway, since this is clearly an issue with Tiger and/or it's installation, is my next step an archive and install? How about the work around with deleting the printing preferences, etc. and re-installing from the dvd? Any potential ill effects from going these routes?
    Do you, or anyone else following along, know if this is something Apple will address in 10.5? No disrespect intended, but take a look around this printing forum... it seems that most of these problems are similar in nature involving windows printing. just my 2 cents.

  • Files not showing up in application folder.

    No files are showing up in my application folder. I dragged a new file to my applications folder today and it shows up however it is the only one.  All the applications are still working fine just cant see them.  Any help would be awesome.

    Control-click an application's Dock icon and choose Show in Finder. You'll most likely find that it's at the top level of the drive and you dragged the file to the one in your home folder.

  • MP3 files not showing up in published folder

    Hi everyone,
    A newbie question here: I have completed my site and published it to a folder, for later uploading to a webhost. I took a peek in my published folder and could not find any of the MP3 files that I had put on to my site. While I was creating the site, I dragged the MP3 files from iTunes to iWeb. Everything played just fine. But I'm figuring if I don't see any MP3 files in the published folder, they're not there.
    Suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Oy -- never mind. I found the files. See, I am a newbie...

  • Network devices not showing up under "shared" in finder bar

    Ok so i have a network that consists of a maxtor nas device, 2 win xp pc's, 1 win7 pc, d-link 524 router, and my macbook pro. I would like to be able to transfer files between my mac and the devices and use the printer attached to my maxtor. My issue is that none of the computers show up under the "shared" section of finder or under network. I use to have this issue with leopard but it resolved itself. Now under snow leopard for a couple months and i have yet to get it work. I can access my mac and other pcs from a pc. Anyone know how to get my network to show up on my mac?

    Your problem is very common under Snow. At first my shares did not show up under shared in finder windows. I, then, of course, used "Connect to Server" to connect to the shares--both Mac and PC. I found that the more I kept the shares active the more likely they were show up under shared. Then, I discovered that if I kept the computers from sleeping during the period of needed access they would tend to stay in shared without nearly so much keeping the connections active.
    If you do not like the above work around, then there are two other possibilities. You can elect to show mounted items on your desktop. Do that and connect to each share. Then, go > users > unlock > + login options > try dragging the mounted shares to the login item window. If successful, then the shares should be available at login.
    Another approach is to mount and connect as indicated above. Then, making an alias to the share should at least make things faster.

  • 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.)

  • New Saved files not Showing up in finder

    When I save a new file, since updating to 10.5.4; new files will not show up in the folder it was saved in, until I close it and then reopen it. I have already performed a fix disk permissions with idisk and ran MacJanitor
    Is this a known problem with leopard 10.5.4 I could not find it discussed in the forum.

    I Ran Macjanitor - all tasks, I ran the disk utility on my boot disk. Nothing I did fixed the problem. But for some reason - when I booted up today the problem is gone. I thought I had rebooted yesterday as well - but I am unsure about that. So right now the problem is not showing up. I hope it does not come back. How do you mark this when it just went away and you are not sure it will come back or not.

  • 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.

  • Help!  Exported Files Not Showing Up!

    For some reason when I export a file through CS4 it will not show up in the folder I exported it to. There are no errors in the process and no matter what style of video I just can't find anywhere. Any ideas?

    Verify the location and file name of your export in the Adobe Media Encoder before starting the queue.

  • 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.

  • I transferred itunes library from old PC to new PC. The content all shows when I launch iTunes on the new PC now. The previous content does not show in iTunes but folder still looks like it is on hard drive on new PC. Suggestions on how to properly merge?

    I transferred itunes library from old PC to new PC. The content all shows when I launch iTunes on the new PC now. The previous content does not show in iTunes but folder still looks like it is on hard drive on new PC. Suggestions on how to properly merge?

    Before you connect any device to a new library go to the Devices tab of the the preferences panel via Edit > Preferences (Windows) or iTunes > Preferences (Mac) and ensure the box next to Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically is ticked. You can now safely connect the device to your computer without the danger of media being automatically deleted or overwritten.
    To get all your content off your connect your iPad to your new computer.
    Then use a 3rd party piece of software to transfer your content
    I have found Senuti useful but there are others listed in the article I linked to in a previous post.
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    That will let you transfer your non purchased content
    For Purchased content log in to iTunes on the new computer
    In Itunes Store click on Purchased under the Quick Links section on the right.

  • What is the best way to export a .csv/.txt file to a MS Windows shared folder via a scheduled job?

    What is the best way to export a .csv/.txt file to a MS Windows shared folder, when the export process is a scheduled job?

    You can't directly, as scheduled jobs can only export to server-side data stores, which can only write to the landing area. You'll need to use an external script (e.g. batch file) to move the file from the landingarea after export. You can use an external task in the scheduled job to invoke the script.

  • TS3276 After updating software yesterday, noticed that sent emails are not showing up in Sent Folder for one of my accounts.

    After updating software yesterday, noticed that sent emails are not showing up in Sent Folder?

    Are you storing Drafts, Sent, Trash and Junk messages on the server via your .Mac account with Mail?
    If so, do you access your .Mac account with an email client on another computer or regularly access your account via webmail on another computer?
    If not, any other reason you need to store Drafts and Sent messages on the server?
    While composing a message with Mail, it is temporarily saved in the account's Drafts mailbox so sounds like something went wrong with the process between finishing and sending the message with Drafts and Sent being stored on the server.
    If you don't have any need for this, better to store Drafts and Sent messages locally on the hard drive with Mail.
