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.

Muse mobile site doesn't display full width

The mobile version of my site doesn't display full width. It doesn't scale to fit the mobile screen as the set up width in Muse.
I found a tip talking about add "viewport" code to muse site. When I insert the code to html window, it give me a box said "unable to generate a thumbnail"
If add the view port code is the solution, how do I add this code to the <head> tag on muse?
If not, what's the solution for this situation?

One problem where this occurs is that there could be some object (s) outside the layout page size.

Mail doesn't display full email text, only displays the subject line

Mail doesn't display full email text, only displays the subject line.
My preview shows first three lines of email, but when I chose the email specifically mail doesn't display any lines of text. Been this way for about ten days. Please help. Ben

Awesome. Rebooting the phone worked. I had never turned the phone off before (for the next guy - you hold down the "sleep" button for longer than you'd think and that'll do a full shutdown). thank you for your help.

The mobile version of my Muse site doesn't display full width

Can anyone help me figure out how to make the mobile version of my site display full width? I've snapped everything to the full width using the blue lines, but the whole site is left justified. I reviewed the master page and everything seems to be in order.

You most likely have an empty box or text box that is off to the right in your design. Do a select all on your Master Pages and pages to see if you have any elements outside the right side of your design.

Bex report doesn't display full text information......

Hi Experts,
My bex report is not displaying full text information.
I have set that particular infoobject length as 40 and also have selected long text and Long Description in Bex Tab of the InfoObject.
In my DSO the data is available in complete lenght but in my Bex report it just displays half information
Instead of displaying Service Order Released its displays Service Order Rel
Can anyone help me to resolve this issue please.
Thanks

Hello,
Setting up the BEx Property for Object, is not sufficient enough to display in the query output. You can always overwrite the object level settings in the query designing.
Moreover, when you create a query, system always overwrite your object level settings and apply the query level settings.
Make sure, you have selected Long Text in the query for that characteristic.

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 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.

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.

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.

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).

Satellite L450-136 - Adobe Reader 9 doesn't show full content

I have a new Satellite L450-136 which came with Windows 7, Office 7 and Adobe Reader 9 installed.
When I open newly received pdf files from the hard disk (Windows Explorer or Adobe Reader) or Internet Explorer, individual pages are there but are greyed out and nothing can be read. But I can still print. I can open and see old pdf files on my hard disk. If I make a new pdf from Word, I can see text but not see Pictures. Seems like a display problem but what?
I am in Manila, bought the machine a month or so from Amazon in London and naturally didn't see the problem before I left. [email protected]

Hello
> Another thing, I have a feeling that the problem is with my Tosh
Why do you think this? Is it only your feeling or have you exact reasons for this?
I cant agree with you. I have two Toshiba notebooks and on both notebooks Adobe Reader runs properly. So you should reinstall the application as Xardas suggested.
Furthermore I have also installed Foxit PDF Reader today and its faster as Adobe Reader.

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.

Weather Widget bug: doesn't display full city name initially

I have a brand-new Mac Mini.
The weather widget is configured incorrectly if you go through the default set-up process for Philadelphia.
I went through the standard Mac OS X first-time setup, telling it my location (Philadelphia, USA). This pre-configured my time zone correctly for east coast, but for some reason pre-configured my weather widget for Philadelphia, NY (instead of the MUCH more likely Philadelphia, PA).
BUT it just said "Philadelphia" on the widget, and in the widget settings, so it looked correct... it took me a week to figure out why the weather data was always so wrong. It was just on a whim that I tried re-entering the location in the settings (even though it appeared to be correct.)
Really, it should be smart enough to assume the larger city, but at the very least the widget should have displayed "Philadelphia, NY" in the settings instead of just "Philadelphia".

I can't help with a fix but I can confirm seeing the same behavior, not only with the 'snow' image but with others. It is very erratic: sometimes the city name underlines & I get the hand pointer on mouse overs, sometimes no underline but the hand pointer, sometimes nothing but a flicker of the hand that reverts to the arrow as soon as the pointer comes to a stop over the name.
Worse, this seems to have little to do with the ability to click through to the web page. Sometimes there is no visual pointer change or underline cue but the link is live; other times it isn't.
Try this: Cmd-option-clicking on the weather graphic icon cycles through all the graphics & changes the location to "Nowhere." Cute, but sometimes "Nowhere" sticks as the location the next time Dashboard is displayed, sometimes not. Other anomolies have been noted in other threads, too.
Bottom line is I think the weather widget isn't very sophistocated & is easy to confuse.

ScrollPane doesn't display its content

I created a scrollpane in as3 and set its source to another object, which contains several rows of icons.
The scrollbar in the scrollpane is getting the right length, which means the object was loaded as expected, but the contant is not showing correctly.
I created a Thumbnail class for this file to load and make each individual thumbnail.
Here is my code, the red text is where each thumbnail is loaded:
import fl.containers.UILoader;
import caurina.transitions.*;
import flash.events.Event;
import fl.containers.ScrollPane;
var urlRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("pics.xml");
var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var myXML:XML = new XML();
var xmlList:XMLList;
myXML.ignoreWhitespace = true;
urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,fileLoaded);
urlLoader.load(urlRequest);
var arrayURL:Array = new Array();
var arrayName:Array = new Array();
var holderArray:Array = new Array();
var nrColumns:uint = 3;
var sprite:Sprite = new Sprite();
addChild(sprite);
var thumb:Thumbnail;
var thumbsHolder:Sprite = new Sprite();
sprite.addChild(thumbsHolder);
var loaderHolder:Sprite = new Sprite();
loaderHolder.graphics.beginFill(0x666666,1);
loaderHolder.graphics.drawRoundRect(0,0,450,340, 20,20);
loaderHolder.graphics.endFill();
loaderHolder.x = 280;
loaderHolder.y = 240;
sprite.addChild(loaderHolder);
var photoLoader:UILoader = new UILoader();
photoLoader.width = 450;
photoLoader.height = 340;
photoLoader.y = 5;
photoLoader.x = 5;
photoLoader.buttonMode = true;
photoLoader.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onClickBack);
loaderHolder.addChild(photoLoader);
var scrollPane:ScrollPane=new ScrollPane();
var skin:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
scrollPane.x = 805;
scrollPane.y = 405;
scrollPane.width = 215;
scrollPane.height = 280;
scrollPane.setStyle( "skin", skin );
scrollPane.setStyle( "upSkin", skin );
scrollPane.source = thumbsHolder;
sprite.addChild(scrollPane);
function fileLoaded(event:Event):void
myXML = XML(event.target.data);
xmlList = myXML.children();
for (var i:int=0; i<xmlList.length(); i++)
var picURL:String = xmlList[i].url;
var picName:String = xmlList[i].big_url;
arrayURL.push(picURL);
arrayName.push(picName);
holderArray[i] = new Thumbnail(arrayURL[i],i,arrayName[i]);
holderArray[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,onClick);
holderArray[i].name = arrayName[i];
holderArray[i].buttonMode = true;
if (i<nrColumns)
   holderArray[i].y = 440;
   holderArray[i].x = i * 65 + 840;
else
   holderArray[i].y = holderArray[i - nrColumns].y + 65;
   holderArray[i].x = holderArray[i - nrColumns].x;
thumbsHolder.addChild(holderArray[i]);
scrollPane.update();
function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void
photoLoader.alpha = 0.1;
photoLoader.source = event.currentTarget.name;
photoLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, fadeOut);
function fadeOut(event:Event):void
Tweener.addTween(photoLoader, {alpha:1, time:0.5, transition:"linear"});
function onClickBack(event:MouseEvent):void
Tweener.addTween(loaderHolder, {alpha:.5, time:2, transition:"linear"});

Bold is about the only text editing feature that works in the current editor panel. The rest were disabled due to spam-related abuse (addng white text, etc)
I cannot really follow what is going into where and where it is being put (just too lazy to track it down at this time of night), but it sounds like it might be possible that your content is being planted at a location that it is not visible in the scrollpane panel. The scrollpane is only 215 pixels wide but you have something called a loaderHolder that is being placed at x = 280. And then elsewhere you have holderArray[i].x = i * 65 + 840;, which is placing it well beyond the 215 width.

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).
