Files not visible in Finder after Yosemite install

I have installed Yosemite.  I now cannot see any of my files including applications, in Finder.  I also cannot get Dropbox to start.
I run a macbook pro 15" late 2011.  Used for work so need to get this fixed pretty quick.
Anyone got any suggestions?

Hi Paul...You probably have to reinstall Flip4Mac. It is the Quicktime plugin that handles wmv content.

  • WMV not visible in Finder after clean install

    I just got a new HD and re-installed all my softawre.
    QT opens everything, but Finder can't preview the files and gives me that spinning ( not beach ball ) loading icon.
    Should I just re-install QT+all related software?

  • Airport Disk not visible on finder after Leopard install

    On Finder, my Airport extreme appears but I can't see anything on my HD attached.
    But if I open a terminal, I can browse my Airport disk.
    Anybody have a solution?
    Thanks

    Go to Finder = Preferences
    "General" icon and check [x] Connected Servers
    I had to reboot to make this work. Your mileage may vary per when the disk icon is visible.

  • Mac mail not showing jpg attachments after yosemite install

    I use Mac Mail and have recently upgraded to Yosemite. 
    Since upgrading I can no longer view jpg images sent by email from my security camera system.  They used to be shown within the message, but since the upgrade to Yosemite they're not shown in the message anymore (well, they are shown in about 1% of messages), even the attachment won't open after saving to desktop.
    When I try opening the attachment after I have saved it, it says it may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn't recognize.
    I can view these images when using outlook on my mac, but preferred the Mail app, as it was easier to view the images in Mail.
    Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    I have the exact same issue.

    I wonder if it has something to do with the file name
    Here is an example - 02_20141022141258.jpg
    I have no issues viewing the images on my iPhone or iPad

  • Video files not visible in Finder

    I have just finished transferring all my files to a new iMac with Mavericks 10.9.1. I have been editing video for years with various editing suites, on an Intel Mac. OS 10.6
    On my new iMac the only files shown in Finder are just the packages "AVCHD" which are not usable by Adobe or Final Cut X. They need the *.mts files which are contained in that package.
    I appreciate that I can see the *.mts files by using the command "show package contents", but this does not last, and when another folder is opened the problem is just the same. Surely there mus be something I am missing? There must be some way of permanently displaying the *.mts files so that the video editing prog. can find them?
    A search in Finder for all *.mts files displays them openly, bu when you look at the hierarchy they do not exist. Weird.
    And don't get me started on the hidden Library files, which are also essential. I have sorted that out!

    You can move Projects and Events to and external drive, but you must move them from within iMovie. If you move them using the Finder, it will make the projects unusable.
    I would recommend that you move all projects and events back to your original drive.
    Then open iMovie and verify that all is well.
    Now, click View/Events by Disk, and you should see your new drive in the Events List on the left.
    To move an event, hold the command key while dragging the icon for the event to the icon for the disk in the iMovie Event List.
    To move a project, hold down the command key while dragging the Project icon to the icon for the new drive in the Project List.
    Doing it this way will preserve the links between your Projects and your Events.

  • File not visible in Finder until spotlight search

    Wierd.
    I have been working on a Photoshop project all week. The project uses several jpg files and I have saved the psd's in the same folder. Toady when starting up PS, none of the psd files were in the folder - everything else for the project was. Baffeled and panicked, I did a spotlight search and found them.
    Here's the wierd part. The psd files are in the folder they belong in! But I can't see them in the folder. PS also cannot "see" them if I try to open from within PS.
    I can open the psd files direct after finding them with Spotlight. ***.

    Change the Finder view mode; for example, from icon view to list view, or vice versa.

  • Yosemite: Thumbnails not visible in Finder

    I ran into a strange problem immediately after updating to Yosemite.
    I have a 2014 mbp dual-video, 16 gb ram.
    In any folder on my drive icons are not visible. They are there, I can drag and copy-paste folders and files, but the finder only shows a blank white window. Everything looks normal in List, Columns or Cover Flow modes.
    I did a safe mode boot and restarted normally and everything went back to normal, including visible icons. But now I have the problem with an external ExFat drive. Anyone know how to solve this or what's going on?

    Here's my problem, that continues with newly created folders. You can see that this folder has 5 items in it, with one selected. But they are not visible when Finder is set to icon mode.
    Also, when I drag a corner of the Finder window to make it bigger, i get some "dragging" visual artifacts that are not visible in the screenshots but appear on my screen.

  • My display is non hdcp compliant after Yosemite install

    My display is non hdcp compliant after Yosemite install, fix this?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

    It goes for many software, like ShareKit.framework, SceneKit.framework, NotificationCenter.framework, Preview.app, Calendar.app, Reminders.app etc. - all of them are Apple software. I get it like every 1 minute in log.
    Google didn't help. What is it, what does it means and how to fix?..

    Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
    First, empty the Trash.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it, then drag or copy it — do not type — into the Terminal window:
    find . $TMPDIR.. \( -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl \) -exec ls -Odel {} \; | wc -l
    Press return. The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "85." Please post it in a reply.

  • Bootcamp Wont Load After Yosemite Install

    Loner T,
    My bootcamp does not load after Yosemite install.
    Thanks

    This is the first part of the recovery procedure. In your case, you have two OS X versions, so standard layout is not usable.
    Please install GPT Fdisk (aka gdisk) (http://sourceforge.net/projects/gptfdisk/) if you have not done so yet.
    You need to use the following steps. If you see any error messages during the following steps, please stop and post back here with the error message. The following steps have values from your Testdisk output (and you can verify) in Steps 7 and 8.
    Rebuild GPT5 using start/end offsets
    Sudo gdisk /dev/rdisk0
    P  (print the full list of parts)
    D  (delete)
    5  (part 5)
    N  (new part)
    5   (part 5)
    841717760 - Start offset in bytes  (start point for Bootcamp part)
    +135055353 (Size offset as opposed to End offset)
    0700     (Windows part type)
    P           (print list of all parts just to see what changes will be made)
    W         (Write the new GPT)
    Y           (Yes! really write the new GPT)
      This will delete and re-write the GPT partition info for /dev/disk0s5.
    Reboot. Test that you can see the Bootcamp volume in Finder and see files in the Bootcamp volume.

  • My computer is running slow after Yosemite install -but in the Mail program, when I open an email and then open the attachment -all is good -when I close the attachment the Mail program goes away, and I have to reopen it in my Dock -every time -been

    My computer is running slow after Yosemite install -but in the Mail program, when I open an email and then open the attachment -all is good -when I close the attachment the Mail program goes away, and I have to reopen it in my Dock -every time.

    I tried this, but no luck. I went to Previous System>Users. There is nothing inside the "Users" folder, so I hit a dead end.
    I can find my new e-mails -- those that came in since I re-installed the system -- in my NEW system (which I did to see if I was correctly understanding the advice), by going to Users>Home>Library>Mail>POP account name>Inbox.
    Let me add a new question: I am running PhotoShop C3. It opens OK, and I can use it, but when it opens I get this message: "One or more files for Adobe Application Support folder are missing. Please re-run the PhotoShop installer."
    I don't like re-installing working programs if I can avoid it, because it always seems to lead to other issues. Any idea what files are missing, and where it/they might be in the Previous System folder?
    thanks
    Mike

  • Keeps crashing after Yosemite install - Need thoughts on what to do...

    My 2013 Macbook Air keeps crashing after Yosemite install, time between crashes are more random than consistent and it can be anytginh from one hour to 6 hours between crashes. Enclosed the report below with the hope that someone has some tips on what to do here.... I've formatted the computer, reinstalled the OS and checked the drive for errors and I've found nothing so far.
    Would be very grateful for any thoughts/tips on what to do here...

    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks
    OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
                     if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Messages stuck in updating after Yosemite install

    Messages stuck in updating after Yosemite install.  Tried re-install of Yosemite and quit messages, still unable to access.

    Hi,
    Go to the ~/Library/Attachments folder.  (well it should be a folder).
    If it is not a Folder then rename it and create a New folder with the same name.
    restart Messages.
    Or if you have a Time Machine backup replace the Non folder item with an Original from just before the update.

  • AirPort Extreme not visible in the airport utility installed on my Imac

    My AirPort Extreme is suddenly not visible in the airport utility installed on my Imac. After numerous rescans I am bordering to give up as the connection seems to be working fine when I connect it to the Imac through the ethernet cable. Any advices further than restarting the devices?

    For the app Airport Utility you have to be connected to the AE wifi.
    If you are not talking about the AU App, but the Airport Antenna you can do following:
    disconnect AE form power, wait 10-15 seconds, turn off the Airport Antenna in your mac. Then connect the AE to power, wait till it is fully started, then turn the Airport Antenna to on again.
