Finder does not list partition and very slow

Running Lion 10.7.2 on a Mac Pro 1,1.
Today my Finder refuses to list one of the partitions of one of the HDDs I have. All other partitions are listed normally but this one. I did the regular permissions and Repair Disk...
Problem is: Terminal can see and list files on that partition, and so can Open dialogs (which apparently do not use Finder?).
Any ideas?
Thank you.
I included a video to better portray what I am talking about above.

Odd. But you shouldn't have to drag it -- from a Finder Menubar, select Finder > Preferences > Sidebar and check the appropriate Hard disks or External disks box. It should show up automagically.
If it's already checked, or has a minus sign in it, uncheck it, then check it again.

Whats going with itunes store ? after all this updates. win 7 64 bit store does not upload completly and very slow, no nav bar.

I re-installed itunes and by this i mean part by part itunes, quicktime and so on. Once I re-installed it looked like all was going well. I went to the store and upload like it use to before the upadtes. Than I pluged my Ipad2 no problem but I went to store once more the problem started agian the up-load was very slow it didn't up load completly. the nav bar on the store page is missing no apps, music, books,tabs are all gone. I think it has to do with the new itunes upates in the last few days. I also did the firewall and anti virus off step no fix and i'm running Norton 2011. Has itunes put any message on this ? Is it only window 7 64bit with the problem ? Oh one more thing I was getting a 3259 error but that looks like is good now, but it did take me a few days to download one book and one app the download is very slow.

Hi,
I am using a Nvidia 4200M adapter in my Laptop, Driver 266.96, Direct X 11
In my desktop I am using an ATI XFX 6950, latest revision drivers (I am not at home right now so I cant get that info).
The issue I did describe above, but it was a long explanation.
In some flash games the game files load initially and get as far as the "click to start" button. Then the flash area usually goes either all white or all black (usually depending on the falsh game default background color) and then it stays that color. Cant see anything after hitting start (usually most games have an intro video or animation before the game starts, but I cant see any of it.
For the very few games that do start, the flash game or application does not seem to work correctly in that when the rare game starts, it wont save any game files or save files to the pc and so if I exit the game (navigate away to another page or close browser) and then later come back, even though I click the option to save games (and ensure that the flash application slider shows it can save files and lots of space) it does not save and I have to start from the beginning all the time.
More explanation I gave above.

How can I organise the program dashboard the way that it does not open automatically and very quickly other programs?

Thanks for an answer

If you hold down the option key while in dashboard you can close many of the programs.
To disable it from opening automatically, or unintentionally:
1) go to System preferences -> mission control.
2) Deselect any mouse shortcuts
3) Remove it from hot corners, if it is active.

Finder Does NOT List Files on FireWire Volume

I have a 80GB LaCie FireWire drive but haven't used if for about a year.
I just plugged it into my Mac and the Finder lists NO files on this volume. "Get Info" says there 67.8 of files on the volume. Disk Utility says the same as well as indicating that there are 12 folders and 49 files. Terminal shows this:
Macintosh:Scratch nello$ ls -sa1lp
total 32
0 drwxr-xr-x 12 nello nello 476 Jul 27 13:54 ./
0 drwxrwxrwt@ 9 root admin 306 Jul 27 14:09 ../

0 drwxr-xr-x@ 3 nello nello 102 Jul 27 13:54 .Spotlight-V100/
0 drwxr-xr-x@ 3 nello nello 102 Feb 6 2007 .TemporaryItems/

8 -rw-r--r--@ 1 nello nello 1024 Mar 24 2007 Desktop DB
8 -rw-r--r--@ 1 nello nello 2 Mar 24 2007 Desktop DF
So, this seems rather inconsistent to me. "Get Info" says there is more data on the disk than Terminal. Disk utility says there are more folders and files than Terminal.
When I used Disk Utility to "Verify Disk" everything looks okay:
Verify and Repair volume “Scratch”
Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Checking multi-linked files.
Checking Catalog hierarchy.
Checking Extended Attributes file.
Checking volume bitmap.
Checking volume information.
The volume Scratch appears to be OK.
I swear that I left an iMovie project on this disk. How can I get Finder to show it to me?
Can anyone explain the apparent inconsistencies between Finder/Terminal/"Get Info"?
Thanks.

I'm not sure what you believe to be inconsistent here. some of the items listed are directories and their contents are not listed. if you want to list it all enter

Why is PDF scrolling not always smooth and very slow?

With some of my adobe reader pdf's, when I scroll along, it goes super slow. Sometimes, when I stop scrolling, the document keeps moving for several seconds, so I then have to scroll back up to where I wanted to be. Why does this happen with some documents? Is there a way to fix it? Is there another reader that might help in those situations?
Aaron (first time asking a question on this or almost any forum) (email address removed by host)

Although "normally" using too much memory causes these types of problems, I currently have the latest and fully loaded machine (macbook pro retina with maxed out memory....), so I did not think that was the issue, although still a helpful suggestion.
However, I have solved the problem, for anyone interested. I searched several forum discussions on this website and saw a lot of references to using "preview" rather than adobe reader, to read my longer pdf's. I followed one suggestion, changing the settings to "change all" pdf's to be opened and read through preview. OMG, what a difference! It is perfect now, an amazing difference. So, I am happy, as my digital ebooks in pdf form are now actually readable.

ITunes Match does not list all my music before signing up. Only the ones i've purchased thru itunes and several songs of my own. Where can I find my 400 missing songs? Being able to store ALL music is the only reason why I signed up. Please help.

iTunes Match does not list all the music I had on my iphone. Not on my phone or iTunes. Only shows the music I've purchased from itunes and none of my 400+ songs. Please help. Thank you.

Is your music in your iTunes library on your computer and has match completed its scan of this library.

Finder does not display icon for word / excel in list view

Hi,
I got a new macbook air, with Yosemite pre installed. I copied over all my files (from my old macbook using a USB drive) and next I installed MS office for mac.
For some reason Finder does not display the correct excel of word icon in list view (I set preview thumbnail to NO in view options), but it it displays the generic file icon.
It appears to be very random, as some files do display the icon and others do not. It also appears to have nothing to do with the doc/docx xls/xlsx variations.
Also some of my parallels icons do not display correctly in list view.
When I open a INFO panel, it does show the correct icon. Example below:
Any body know how to reset / fix this ?

Still got no solution...
There has to be some one that knows about this ..?
Any professionals reading this that can point in some direction for a solution?

I want to transfer a movie I have downloaded from itunes to my new IPAD. I have been on the itunes help menu, it tells me to look under 'devices' tab for IPAD. BUT there is no 'devices' tab and it does not list my new IPAD. Help!

I want to transfer a movie I have bought in itunes to my new IPAD. I have been trying to work how to do this for 3 days now. I have accessed all the itunes help and forums and wiki online. They all tell me to go to the DEVICES tab on itunes and select IPAD then sync. YUP seem simple, BUT there is not DEVICES tab listed on my itunes and it does not list IPAD. Years ago I set up my IPOD no problem and that is listed, but not the new IPAD. Can anyone help? I would love to be able to actually watch films on my IPAD!! thanks

If you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar on it via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC - when connected (and if your computer's iTunes is up-to-date) your iPad should then appear on that sidebar under a 'Devices' heading :
If you select the iPad on that sidebar you can then use the Movies tab on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to select and sync that film to your iPad's Videos app.
Has your iPad been synced to the computer before ? If not then you might find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

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.

When click show all downloads library does not list them find them?

If You Are Using Any Third Party Download managers To Download Files, It Will Not Appear In The Download Lists OF Firefox.
Kindly Check Your Downloads Folder, Everything you Have Downloaded Will Be There By Default.

Do you have the Firefox new tab page but the actual sites are missing, or do you have some other page?
If you have some different page, try the quick fix in Fred McD's reply.
If the sites are missing, did you use the Reset feature? That will clear the storage associated with the new tab page. I'm not sure it's possible to recover from that; you probably need to rebuild your page from scratch as you browse.
For possible future reference, here is how to access the hidden setting for the page to display on new tabs:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''newtab''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click the '''browser.newtab.url''' preference and enter your preferred page:
* ''Page thumbnails (default)'' => about:newtab
* ''Blank tab'' => about:blank
* ''Built-in Firefox home page'' => about:home
* ''Any other page'' => full URL to the page
Press Ctrl+t to open a new tab and verify that it worked. Fixed?
Some gotchas:
''If Firefox won't let you edit this setting:'' you may have something called SearchProtect on your system.
''If Firefox lets you save your change but ignores it:'' one of your extensions may be overriding it. You can review, disable, and/or remove extensions on the add-ons page:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > ''in the left column click'' Extensions
''If the change works during your session, but at the next startup is back to an unwanted page:'' you might have a user.js file in your personal Firefox settings folder (your Firefox profile folder). This article describes how to track down and remove the file: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
Any luck?

My MacBook Pro is not recognizing my external hard drive. The hard drive is listed in disk utilities but an icon does not pop up and I cannot access the data. Is there any way to resolve this?

WE know Disk Warrior is more reliable, hence more useful, and should be in any disk mechanics toolchest.
For the record, I don't know anything of the kind. I have yet to see evidence that Disk Warrior is useful at all.
What I do know is that you seem to take every opportunity you get to promote it in these forums. Do you work for Alsoft?
Let me be a little more explicit. My opinion is that Disk Warrior is a waste of money if one has backups. If a journaled HFS directory is so badly corrupted that it can't be repaired by Disk Utility, then the volume should be reformatted and restored from backup, which has the same effect as running DW, but is probably faster and doesn't cost $99.

Hold down the mouse button when shutting down, If that doesn't work, try holding the Mac sideways and shaking gently, then if you see the edge of the disc, use tweezers to pull it out.

TS3899 I am unable to access my mail account. I press the mail icon, the page refreshes to the mail format page - blue bar top and bottom, white text space in the middle.... and that is as far as it goes. It does not list my email accounts or offer any.

I am unable to access my mail account on my iphone, which I have been able to do previously. I press the mail icon, the page refreshes to the mail format page - blue bar top and bottom, white text space in the middle.... and that is as far as it goes. It does not list my email accounts or offer any.

Close the mail app, double tap the home button and completely close out of the app.
then do a reset, no data loss. Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
