Finder does not "find" specific file on my seagate external

I am new to Mac. (1 week). I have a seagate 1.5 TB external drive I used with my windows system. The drive just contains music, photos and PDF files. My new Mac recognizes the drive but when I go to search for a particular file using finder, it does not find it. I have to look through everything to find the file. Being a Mac newbie, it's likely something I'm missing.

You may need to add the external drive to Spotlight for indexing http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2409

Finder does not show new files with older creation dates

Short story: when I somehow create new files or folders with older dates, Finder does not show them.
This happens e.g. when I unrar archives created some time ago: the files or folders coming out of the archive get their original date, which is earlier than today.
I can see those files and folders without problems in a terminal (using ls). But they don't show up in Finder when I visit the same directory.
When I use terminal to go into some directory that is not yet visible in Finder, and I open a new Finder window for that directory from within terminal (using "open ."), the new directory and its contents will show up in Finder.
My best guess is that some things have changed in the way Finder and the indexing of my flle system co-operate. In any case, this is higly annoying.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

I have the same problem. I create files and they do not show up in their respective Finder window. I know the files are there because I created them and I can see them using Terminal and applications can open them. If I refresh the window by going to the parent directory and back again, the files do not show up. If I close all windows and open that specific window again, the files still do not show up. If I leave the computer overnight, the new files still do not show up. As brdsutte stated, after rebooting the computer, the files show up in the Finder window. Anyone have any suggestions?

Finder does not show all files from NAS

Hi there
I have a NAS attached to my mini where music, ... is stored. I can access it from both the mac as well as a PC.
for some reason the mac finder does not display all the files in the directory even though the files are there (i can see and open them when accessing the NAS through the PC). at the moment I only see this happen in a folder that contains video (mpg) files and some event must have triggered this strange behaviour because I could play the file sometime ago without problem.
also, some of the files are shown as a folder than a file in the finder. E.g. a clip called last_holiday.mpg would show as a folder (when you open it it is empty) rather than a video file.
I have tried to re-mount the share, but this has no effect.
Is this a bug or is there some wrong setting?
thanks for any help,
Chris

I have this same problem with mounted DAV server folders. I can see the files via Windows and other DAV clients -- just not via Finder. Moreover, it does not apply to all files: some of them do show up. And, it does not happen all of the time: just occasionally.

Finder does not show new files, does not acualize

In Mountain Lion I realize that the finder more than once does not show the actual content of folders. Even a "start new" from the stop-dialog did not change it.
A restart of the whole system did.
Pathfinder in opposite did show the new files immediatly.
Does anyone have the same problem?
Any suggestions?
Thx.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
It's a while since i used v5 but I think this is true.
Whereas with early version of iPhoto there was a separate folder for each album, starting at v5 the app doesn;t do that. Instead the album information is stored as part of the main database file. At heart, it's a direction to the app to display certain pics together. The advantage being that a single pics can be many, many albums with no wasted disk space.

Terminal 'ls' shows files Finder does not - Finder 10.6.8 shows files, Finder 10.8.4 does not

Hello,
Mapped a network drive via smb://, copied files from Mac OS 10.8.4 to the network drive (Ext3). When map same network drive via smb:// and view files in Finder certain files do not appear. These are NOT typical hidden dot files like .DS_Store but word documents and other "regular" files (e.g. my_cv_ver8.doc), so these files should always be visible. When first open up the folder in Finder the files all appear before they quickly disapear after ~1 second. Strange! This is not happening to all the files, just a subset of files - many of the files and file types appear fine (e.g. some .doc files are ok). When I make Finder show me hidden files (defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE) I can see them, but these files should not be hidden!
It really seems to be an issue in OS 10.8.4's Finder:
With OS 10.8.4 when I look at the mapped network drive with a trial version of Path Finder I can see the files. With OS 10.8.4 using terminal, 'ls' shows all the files there (note: don't have to use ls -a). When I view the mapped network drive on my wife's Mac OS 10.6.8 Finder I can see the files.
What is going on? How can I fix this? How can I make the Finder in OS 10.8.4 show the same files as a terminal 'ls' or as OS 10.6?
Thanks!

Yes, great point about no read/write for Ext3 with Mac. My Mac cannot read the drive via USB but when I mount the drive via smb:// through the network my Mac can read Ext3 (I'm not an expert but it seems that smb is handling the read/write to Ext3).
The operative word in my post was 'support'. When apple says something is unsupported, what they mean is
It probably won't work by default, or at all.
It may or may not be made to work with some monkeying, which they don't recommend.
If it works, it may not always work, or continue to work, or work the same in every case and context.
You're on your own.
The problem is that OS X doesn't know anything about the structure of the Ext3 file system, so it really doesn't know what to do when it sees them. If it works over smb it's only be because smb is doing some translation and OS X is treating the Ext3 disk like like it ware a standard unix format, but since it isn't, and smb isn't designed for that purpose, there's absolutely no guarantees that it will work correctly or consistently across the board.
It's a bit like having a car whose brakes only fail sometimes. The car runs perfectly fine until one of those 'sometimes' happens, and then it doesn't.

The find... command from finder does not find my documents

Hi. I have searched this topic and found lots of posts, particularly from spotlight not finding anything.
In my case, neither the find.. command nor spotlight can find my word documents while I can find them manually in their respective folders. I tried the re-indexing solution with no success. I did not have the problem of computer indexing continuosly as describbed in some posts, and in fact, did not notice any change even after restart.
I saw another popular link about resizing (?) the finder window, or something like that, which involve typing some text and saving it in the desktop... but wasn't sure if that would apply to my problem and since I am not an expert was worry it could make things worst as it has happened to some...
by the way if it matters, the documents came from an ibook running Tiger...
Thanks in advance for the answers.

Since I have the time now, assuming that yes, this will improve find... capabilities, here are the questions in between text.Thanks for your patience. Half of the article is chinese for me:
ARTICLE
Want to tailor the Finder's Find (Command-F) window? Copy the following into TextEdit, make it plain text, and save it to the Desktop as default_smart.plist:....
Q1: ONCE DONE, WILL I KEEP THIS ON DESKTOP FOREVER?
This version of Finder's search box shows the user's home folder as a place to search, includes all system files, is taller than the original window, and the cursor displays in the search box. Note that the ViewHeight field is the difference between bottom and top. So you can adjust it, and the window's width, to suit your needs.
To change the default Find window, run these commands in Terminal (don't type the $), pressing Return after each:
$ cd /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/Resources
$ sudo cp default_smart.plist default_smart.plist.bak
The first command changes to the proper directory, and the second one saves the original default search file, so you can restore the current behavior. Enter your admin password at the Password prompt when asked.
Q2: RUN IN TERMINAL, MEANS SIMPLY OPEN TERMINAL FROM UTILITIES, TYPE THIS AND CLOSE IT. RESTART?
To activate your modified search box, use this command:
$ sudo cp /Users/username/Desktop/default_smart.plist default_smart.plist
Replace username with your user's short username. To return to the original file, cd to that same directory in Terminal, then use this command:
$ sudo cp default_smart.plist.bak default_smart.plist
Q3: BOTH OF THE ABOVE COMMANDS ARE ALSO IN TERMINAL? NEW WINDOW? OR ALL 4 COMMANDS AT THE SAME TIME PRESSING ENTER TO SEPARATE THEM?
[robg adds: You'll need to kill the Finder for this change to take effect. We've covered this sort of edit before (1, 2), but this one adds the 10.5-specific ability to search system files.]
WHAT IS KILL THE FINDER?
Thanks

Find does not find any files in Bridge 2.1.1.9

I ran Edit > Find in Bridge 2.1.1.9 while a folder with files was selected.
I searched for 1, I also tried *1*.
It is finding no files, even though under Content a file with a 1 in it is sitting in there. It says Indexing, then No Items to Display.
I even tried typing in the entire file name and it cannot find it.
I did this as a test after searching by keyword reveled no files, yet one was in the folder. Filter DOES work. I tried adding the folder to the indexing option in windows.
I am running Windows Vista.
Another problem I have is in Preview sometimes the last window I was in is showing in the background, behind a picture.
Thanks!

Thanks for responding. I tried using very simple terms as you suggested with 0 results. It seems to go and index the folders, then comes back with no results. I tried re-indexing in windows and including the photo folders in the index, I also tried purging the adobe bridge index and increasing the size of it. Does bridge always use the index file to 'Find', and when 'Include Non-Indexed Files' is selected, it simply indexes the other folders then searches that index and returns the results? I ask this because for files in the D: drive, it keeps reindexing the same folders it already indexed the last time I tried to 'Find' in non-indexed files. Bridge sometimes gets stuck indexing a folder and keeps the file handle open even after I close bridge. I have to use 'OpenedFilesView' to release the file. The cache is located in the default folder on the C: in the appropriate users folder. I have 20GB of free space on that drive, and over 100gb free space on D:. A little more info: The photo files are on an internal HDD D:\folder, formated as NTFS. They are primarily .jpg and .nef. Bridge is installed on internal HDD C:<default folder>, also NTFS. I tried 'Find' using simple terms on a .jpg on the desktop, and it was found. Windows Vista is installed on C: For some reason

The "Share" feature in Finder does not attach the file to either the email or iMessages

When right click on a file and select "Share" using either the email or iMessages, the correct program opens but no attachement is included. It doesn't attach the file neither the folder contents.

Hi,
I happen to have a Keynote item on my Desktop.
I right clicked this and Selected Messages in Share.
It showed me a Sort of Dialogue window with the item in it and the "To" spot to chose who to send it to.
I typed my own first name and chose my iPhone Number.
It was sent (and zipped to do so).

ITunes does not see music files in folders in external drive after crash

I put over 3000 music files on an external drive. It was a laborious project to organize them so iTunes would recognize them and organize them.
Unhappily, my laptop crashed this morning and I had to restore the whole hard drive to a backup of 3 weeks ago. Unfortunately this was before I did all this work.
Now iTunes only "sees" 1400 of the songs, yet when I examine the files usinig Windows explorer, they are all there.
How can I get iTunes to again "see" all the music files.
they are organized in a directory called iTunes, and all the subdirectories containing the mp3's are artist's names.
Many thanks!

Check the security permissions on the drive. See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows.
Enable the menu bar if needed with CTRL+B.
Under Edit > Preferences > Advanced check that the media folder is set as you wish it to be, and also that the options for Keep... & Copy... are what you want. Uncheck copy if your media folder is elsewhere and you don't want to create copies when importing.
Use File > Add Folder to Library and select the folder that has you missing content. It should be added to the library.

Finder search does not find all files

Hi,
I am doing a search in Finder and files missing from the results.
I am searching for "silverlight" in "This Mac" in the "File Name". The results give me one file "Silverlight.plugin" in the following folder "Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plug-Ins".
However there is also another folder in "Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Microsoft" with name "Silverlight".
Also there is another folder in "Macintosh HD/Users/[USERNAME]/Library/Application Support/Microsoft" with name "Silverlight".
Why finder does not find in search these files/folders? Any idea?
Thanks

this happens because system files are not included in default finder searches. I'm not sure why it even found the first file. you may have started the search from inside the main library folder somewhere.
anyway, to include system files in a search do the following
in finder enter command+f to start a finder search. click on "Kind", hold the mouse button, scroll and click on "other". in the resulting popup select "system files" and include them in the search. then all instances of Silverlight will be found.

Spotlight does not find files with "_" (underscores), but only for certain file types

Hey Folks,
this is strange, maybe someone has an idea.
I already searched the internet for a while, nothing found so far.
I have a file "calc_mean.m" on my desktop.
When I type "calc" in spotlight, it shows the file.
But when I type "calc_" it suddenly does not show the file anymore. Nor does find the file, when I enter "calc_mean.m" in spotlight.
When I enter "calc mean.m" in spotlight, it finds it (using space instead of the underscore).
Now comes the real surprise:
When I rename the file to "calc_mean.txt", spotlight suddenly DOES find the file when entering "calc_mean.txt".
I recreated this "feature" with other files, copying and renaming ".txt" files to ".m" files, and if there's a underscore in the file, spotlight wont find it.
Playing around a bit more, it seems spotlight does find files with underscore when they are documents, at least it works for the following extensions:
.pdf
.doc
.txt
.xls
But these extensions for example do not work:
.mp3
.m
.k
.a
.ka
(and other random endings I tried).
I am pretty confused. Sure it's no big deal learning to search for files that include underscores in their name using space instead. But I'm still quite puzzled. Any idea?

All of those have meaning in various database search syntax (not sure if it matters).
_ usually means any character.
% usually means any run of characters.
- is often used to negate what comes next, i.e. "don't include results that have the following text."
I don't see any problem on my Mac, though.
I also don't have any problem finding file names with those accented characters using Spotlight. I would suggest reindexing Spotlight, but if cmd-f finds them, I'm not sure that would help.

When trying to download & install Firefox 5.0.1 into a Mac, I get a message saying that Firefox cannot be installed because libnsscksi.dylib is in use. Any idea how to locate and close that file? Finder does not recognize it. Thanks!

Tried to install both Firefox 5.0 and 5.0.1, and received the same error message that a file ending in .dylib was in use. I cannot locate that file, and Finder does not recognize it.

I have a Power PC Mac with OS 10.5.8 and Firefox 3.6.28, the latest versions supported on my machine, and all of my plug-ins are the latest versions available for that browser version. I too get the warning message all the time and it is very annoying. I have never had any "security" problems, and I don't go along with this imperative to always be upgrading equipment. Don't these corporate geeks understand that we're in a global economic contraction and a lot of us are unemployed/underemployed? They want us to be good consumers and "switch to a newer computer" but I can't afford that. Like, if I can't fix my old car, I won't be able to drive. What I want to know is: '''how to disable the warning message?''' Thank you in advance.

Finder does not open when a file passes over (mac os X 10.8.3)

Just installed mac os 10.8.3 mountain lion. As such, it seems with this OS X version the "finder" does not open when a file passes over (in order to move it from desktop).
The screen dims a little and nothing else happens.
How can I recover the "finder" functionality that apparently doesn not exist anymore?
Is it something wrong that I am doing?

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Finder requires password to delete files, Trash does not show deleted files. Please help me resolve.

Deleting folders/files causes the password pop up interface to appear, does not seem to matter where the file/folder is. After deleting, it should appear in the trash, but does not. Moving files is not affected, with the exception of moving files into Trash. This did not happen in the morning.
Accessing ~/.Trash gives following message "The folder “.Trash” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents." .Trash is hidden, and i can't view its permission from the Get info page.
I am the owner of the laptop, i don't understand why this is happening. The other thread with similar problems involved a software upgrade and had problems with moving files also, whereas my MBP was okay this morning, i didn't do anything else from then till now.
i did a ls -al ~ on the terminal, relevant lines as follows
drwx------
10 root staff
340 Jan 18 02:09 .Trash
compared to desktop, which i had no problems (yet, not sure)
drwx------+
30 Mac   staff
1020 Jan 18 02:08 Desktop
i don't understand the notation, reading up about them does not clarify any more then to confuse me further.
My user is "Mac", ~/ goes to folder "Mac"
Please help, I have tried booting from save mode, and it is the same.

Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on solving Trash issues. You can also try using Trash It! 5.1 to fix the problem. Or you can try this:
Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder and paste the following at the prompt:
    sudo rm -Rf ~/.Trash
Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted. It will not echo to the screen. Press RETURN again.
(Should anyone tell you this is dangerous or unnecessary, please ignore the comment.)
