Finder doesn't display contents of shared NAS

I recently upgraded my NAS to the latest version and since then I cannot access the NAS in the usual way from any Mac. The Macs are Macbook Pro 2.4 duel core OSX 10.7.5 and iMac 3.2 i3 10.6.8. The NAS is a STORA 2110.
I can connect using the Stora application or using Go - Connect to server - smb://STORA then choose the partitions to mount and I can see the files on MyStora.
If I select Stora from the left hand side of the Finder window under SHARED, I says status is connected but it doesn''t show any files. It spins and spins.
I think this is something to do with how apple speaks to linux/windows...
You may wonder what the problem is as I can see it, well I have 27,000 songs on the Stora that have been added to iTunes from the old way, the shared connection, and iTunes cant see them when I connect using the Go - Connect to server... connection. I think because the path to the Stora is different for each connection.
I'm happy to have a work around if it is the path?
HELP!

As it turns out, spotlight indexing for some strange reason has been turned off for my HD.
Is it really possible, that "sudo mdutil -avE" only deletes the file, and that a new one isn't automatically created? Anyways using Spotless revealed that indexing was actually turned off for my HD, and enabling was just a click. The throbbing dot and all that came to life after e few seconds.
Actually I think it may have been turned off every since i upgraded to 10.6 - and I've just lived with it, and concluded, that Spotlight had become slow in 10.6 and instead I just used Quicksilver. No wonder it was slow when it didn't have an index!

Finder doesn't display full content

Hello!
We have an urgent problem here. The Finder seems to update the windows far too slow. When you create a document from an application, the finder shows it after a long time (about an hour or more). When you use Terminal oder even an open dialog it shows the documents. You can open the documents via an open dialog but the Finder doesn't show them.
Copying files via Finder shows them in the finder.
After a reboot the Finder shows all files until you save a document somewhere.
I did not find any error messages in the log files yet.
Hope you can help.

You may be able to repair this with the 10.4.4 Stand Alone Combo Update.
This is a full install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before. It has worked well for many.
Repair permissions before update:
Navigate to Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility (Double Click to Launch) > Choose your HD in the sidebar > First Aid Tab > Click on "Repair Disk Permissions".
Also Verify Disk before update:
Steps for using Disk Utility
1. Insert your Mac OS Tiger DVD disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key until you see the spinning gear..
2. Once started up from CD or DVD, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu.
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from disc to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume, if necessary.
6. Click Repair.
Good luck, let us know.

Firefox doesn't display content, especially links.

This is my problem in a screenshot: http://d.pr/i/DjkB
The content isn't displayed and especially links. Links are always not there and sometimes text is displayed but all websites are disfunctional because of this.
Here's a link to a screenshot displaying how the same website should look like: http://d.pr/i/ZRvN

Did you manage to find out which font Firefox is using in the case when text doesn't display?
You will have to remove or update that font.<br />
You can also check that font in Fontforge.

Finder doesn't show network computer "Shared" in sidebar

I update 10.5.3 (05.28.08) and the Finder doesn't show all network computers at "SHARED" in sidebar except Windows PCs. I rebooted and seems fixed it.
now I can see all connected computers as 10.5.2,
but when I try to open a file from apps [command+o] (whatever apps is, I tried many as I can to check), again only shows PCs.
so I cannot access directly a file in other Mac on the network.
I tried put ~/Lib*/Preferences/com.apple.sidebarlists.plist in the trash once, log out/in.
still only PCs and of course deleted all personal shortcut icons are gone. so I replace it from trash can.
log out/in. then again now only PCs..... rebooted .....
any idea to fix it?
thanks

After adding a couple of macs to my network, I had the same problem. Part of the issue was turning on file sharing as suggested, but I also had issues with the firewall settings on the MAC. I had my firewall set only allow essential services because I didn't want to leave it open to all connections. I changed the setting to set access for specific services and applications. I added nmdb, configd, mDNSResponder, krb5kdc. These live in /usr/sbin.
Since making those changes, this problem seems to have stabilized and things are working as they should.
Hope this helps.

NASA widget doesn't display content

So I can't get a NASA widget, created for Mac, on my Mac????
Please help me with real information.

Please, which version do you use? If it is 6, exact version number.

Calling WebHelp from JS doesn't display content in frames

Hi,
We are using WebHelp on a UNIX server run from the cloud, to replace the original spartan-at-best, flat-HTML help content that was released with a web-based program, all of which was "context-sensitive" via mapping to #Name destinations within the old help web page. To make it work, we have a JavaScript that maps the old #Name destinations to the new WebHelp MapIDs and redirects the old help web page to a subdirectory that has the WebHelp output files. But, it's not working correctly. If we invoke WebHelp via
HH_DISPLAY_TOC, the new WebHelp opens within the frameset, but the context-sensitive mapping doesn't work.
The programmer says we need a way to call help using a URL. So, I sent him what it says in the RH help system for programmers:
RH_ShowHelp(0, "IQ_Help/util_en.html", HH_HELP_CONTEXT, HelpTag)
I also sent him a PDF of the RH help topics for programmers about calling WebHelp.
From what I gather reading the JavaScript (and I am NOT a programmer), he has set HelpTag as the variable for the Map ID that is provided in a .properties file.
Tried unsuccessfully using the following ways of calling it (not as sequential lines of code, but as replacement methods of the same line of code):
RoboHelp_ShowHelp(http://[servername]/IQ_Help/util_en.html, 0)
RH_ShowHelp(0, "IQ_Help/util_en.html>UUGuide%20SPi",HH_HELP_CONTEXT, HelpTag)
RH_ShowHelp(0, "IQ_Help/util_en.html>UUGuide%20SPi",HH_DISPLAY_TOC, HelpTag)
http://[servername]/robohelp/rest/robowindow?wtype=ctx&context=HelpTag <-as a call to URL
I'm sorry, I'm looking like a real idiot around here -- I really don't know much at all about Java or JavaScript, and I have never had to direct a programmer through how to get the help call to work, and I'm at the end of his patience with me... I don't know where else to turn...I need some insight from YOU.
I thought about providing the text of the JavaScript here, but I don't know for sure whether it would show up as text, or how to make it an attachment that's safe. Please tell me...?
Thanks in advance,
Rene

Finder doesn't display spanish file name correctly ...

Hi all;
I have a Mac mini which access a share on a Network Drive with
all my media files.
When I access the share from my daughter's account (she is set as a user
with parental controls), I can see all the files with the correct names, i.e:
FERNÁNDEZ, etc.
For my account (I am set as an admin) it display the name
FERNæNDEZ (or something like that)
I believe the UNICODE settings are different from both accounts,
but I can't find where to change it. Any ideas?
How can I change the default setting?
Additional Info:
My settings shows (from a terminal window):
_CF_USER_TEXTENCODING=0x1F5:0:0
My Daughter's settings shows:
_CF_USER_TEXTENCODING=0x1F7:0:0
Thanks, this is driving me crazy.

To ask Apple to fix this, you need to repost it at

If I remember right, display of such domains in the original script may depend on whether the domain officials have policies in place to safeguard against potential confusion between names that look the same in cyrillic and latin. But it could also be a simple oversight.
Each browser may be different: Do Firefox and Chrome behave the same?

Yosemite finder doesn't display file count?

I just installed Yosemite (10.10.2) on a clean drive in my MacBook Pro 6,2 and I'm trying to figure out how to get Finder to display a count of files at the bottom of the finder windows. I'm used to it displaying something like "356 files. 49 files selected." Is this functionality still available? I've looked in Finder prefs as well as the customize toolbar and sidebar areas. No luck.
Any ideas?

Choose Show Status Bar from the View menu.

Chrome doesn't display content?

I'm using the TCS 3.5 version of RoboHelp, a.k.a. RoboHelp 9. Chrome looks like it's version 16? There are other versions being used, though.
We almost went crazy yesterday, because my boss followed my instructions for turning her project into WebHelp, and it came up empty. Literally. No left nav table of contents, no search, no text, nada. Just the skin. And the skin was a slightly different color, and the spacing was funky. After a few hours of hair-pulling, having others walk through the process and generate RoboHelp just fine, we found out her default browser was Chrome. So I pulled her output off our fileshare, and opened it in Chrome, Firefox, and Explorer. The last two were fine. But Chrome was empty, and the skin didn't look right. It looked fine on the other two browsers.
So, what do we do? Is there some way to make RH Chrome-friendly, the way you can add Mark of the Web? Or are we just SOL, and Chrome and RH don't play well together?

Hi there
Does Chrome display it correctly from a Web Server? For example, does the link below work in your boss' Chrome browser?
Click here to view
I seem to recall that Chrome has issues with WebHelp from any HAT because of the framesets. But only when you attempt to view locally. It's a security thing. So is Mark of the Web. But that's only applicable to Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Cover Flow in Finder doesn't display Preview Annotations

When looking at PDFs using Cover Flow in Finder, the Preview Annotations aren't shown. Both Quick Look and Preview will show them.

It means no other machine on your network is acting a server. Are you trying to connect to a Windows or Macintosh server? If you are trying to connect to Windows, there's no way to browse a Windows network. You have to be in the same WorkGroup to see any servers that way.
SharePoints http://www.hornware.com/sharepoints/ will let you change your WorkGroup. I always change mine to Mshome so I can easily see other people's machines (which are almost always in that WorkGroup).

Network in Finder doesn't display available servers

I have not seen this on the boards (exactly). When I choose the network icon in a finder window instead of seeing the other computers on the network, I see three folders: 1. Users, 2. Applications, 3. Library nothing is in any of them.
I am on mac G5 running 10.4.5
Other machines on the network can see this one fine.
I have tried trashing various preferences, and creating new network configuration profiles. Nothing seems to work. I can access other machines if I use the Apple-K and enter the IP address of other machines.
terribly frustrating, any help greatly appreciated.

Finder doesn't display files on external hard drives

Hello-
I have two external hard drives and recently I've been moving a ton of data around.
Once two days ago and now again today, the files on those hard drives did not appear in the finder window. Searches yeilded results in that window fine, but the window was blank upon opening.
Two days ago I addressed it with a disk repair. I'm not sure that's what did it though. This appears to be a finder problem.
Earlier I had the same problem. It's nothing to do with the disks; when going to info, it shows the data is all there and searches yield results. But when backing out of the results, the finder window would again be blank.
I have tried: Restarting, starting in safe mode and running disk repairs on the disks, relaunching finder about a hundred times, logging out and back in, clicking on the window and selecting view options, then fiddling with them (this may have corrected the issue on the disk with less data on it, but then again, it might have been coincidence, but the files on that one showed up just then).
Just as I typed this, the beach ball showed up, the window hitched a couple of times, and lo, all my files appeared again.
What appears to be happening, is that Finder is hanging up. I hypothesize this because I tried to eject the disk and coudln't because the error message said Finder was busy with it. Yet Finder wasn't showing my files. That suggests that Finder was balking. The disks were fine, the data is there, it's just that Finder wouldn't show it. Yet when I waited several minutes, the files appeared,suggesting Finder was merely running very slowly or otherwise suboptimally.
Is there anyway to run a repair on Finder itself? This problem is recurrant.

I don't think it's your finder, it is the speed of your hard drive reading those files on the drive. When you try to access the hard drive take a look at the bottom right corner you will see a spinning icon it will continue until it has read the drive. Normally you should wait for that to stop then you should see the data.

Finder doesn´t find documents in application support

Hi there
I saved eventually a few pages documents in the users/application support/iworks/templates/my templates folder. Now pages displays all these documents among the real templates. Of course I´d like to delete them. But Finder doesn´t display or even find them! Not even if I try to look up in all my data. Any suggestions? I´ve tried to delete and rebuild the folder, the situation is the same: the phantom templates remaining there...
Thanks for any help

Just got into the folder and delete them. The Finder doesn't search in the Library by default, but can be made to.
To access your user Library, hold down the option key while selecting the Go menu in Finder. There will be a Library entry. Then make your way into that folder and move the files.
Once you have the Library folder open, you can search it by typing in the search field. Or, you can start from anywhere and set a criteria to include system files. In the criteria dropdown, choose Other… From the list choose System Files and check the box next to it so it stays in the menu (you can do the same for file invisibilty). Now you can add that as a criteria and it will list system files (ie the ones inside the Library).

SAPUI5 Application doesn't display in Portal Content Area

Hallo Guys
We are developing a SAPUI5 application that needs to be displayed inside the portal.
The problem is that the SAPUI5 app doesn't display in in the content area, no erors, just a blank page, you have to set the iview to open in a seperate headerless window, then it works. But it needs to work in the content area.
Our findings: a possible cause is that the IE mode when inside the Portal content area is IE5 Quirks, and when it displays in a new window, the mode changes to a more recent and acceptable mode for SAPUI5, IE9.
Is there any solution to this? We get the same result with both URL iView and using the SAPUI5 iView in content provided by SAP. We are on NW 7.4
Regards
Antonette

Hi Antonette,
As Lawrence explained the reason is indeed that quirks and standards mode can't run together on the same page (not only in portal but it's a limitation by MS).
Since your framework page is in IE5 quirks mode the UI5 application doesn't run in the content area, you can run it by selecting in the iView properties "Launch in a new headerless window (strandards)", that will open the UI5 application in a new window and will work.
If you wish to run UI5 applications in the content area you can get latest SP of 7.4 and there you will have a new framework page: standards AFP, basically an AFP framework page that works in standards mode.
In that framework page you can run UI5 applications in the content area, however trying to run old applications (HTMLB, not WD) may fail, for WD you have a paramater you need to pass called sap-ie, passing it with the value of "Edge" will make sure WD applications run in standards mode as well.
When running the AFP in standards mode you will need to open your HTMLB and other old applications in a new headerless window or new window so you can see the content.
Hope this helped,
BR,
Saar
