Finder doesn't show some files after several days of uptime

It is several days my MacBook Pro is turned on:
$ uptime
11:08 up 10 days, 12:02, 2 users, load averages: 1.12 0.80 0.60
and Finder is starting to behave strange...
the first thing I noticed is that it doesn't show anymore the contents of application packages (ie. right click on a .app and click Show Contents, shows an empty finder window, like there were no files, but from Terminal I'm able to see contents).
also some other files are not visible. for instance I just downloaded a file in Safari, but I can't see it in its folder with Finder, but I can see it and open it with Terminal.
before trying a reboot, what could I do to solve this issue?
perhaps restart Finder? but what is the correct way of restarting it? killall Finder (or some signal other than SIGTERM)?

To restart Finder, hold the option key whilst "right-clicking" (or two-fingered tap on a trackpad), on the Finder option in the Dock.
You will see an option to "relaunch". Select it, and Finder will restart.

Finder doesn't show all files

When I add new photos to iPhoto, they do not appear as a file or item in Finder Documents list. I thought Finder was supposed to show all files and items that you create?

santra, use EasyFind or Find File instead. BY default, Apple's own Finder/spotlight doesn't search everywhere and doesn't find everything (Mac fanboys will tell you this is a feature and is so intelligent that some people can't understand how smart it is; I prefer to think of it as a defect).
Easyfind is here: http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/8707

I hope this helps you to find all your stuff.

Finder doesn't show socket files

Hi Community,
if we navigate into a folder by using the Finder (e.g. /private/var/run) the Finder is hiding the socket files but in a Terminal we can see this files without the hidden flag. The Finder Setting 'AppleShowAllFiles TRUE' doesn't change this behavior. But the Finder in Snow Leopard is showing this files. Is there a way to setup the Finder to show this files as well? How does the system hide this files in the Finder?
Thx in advance & Bye Tom

Finder doesn't show free space after trashing.

Hi,
I would like to know Finder can show again free space ? I had a huge file that I putted in my trash. However after emptying the trash I didn't recover the disk space and I have still few free space... I wonder if there any solution to show that space again. So far I tried to shut down and restart, and also repair disk permission through disk utility. Unfortunately I have been unlucky till now.
Thanks for the further hints.
Guim

Hi G,
Try to boot in Single User Mode (hold CMD+S right after Power button) and follow instructions on screen for fsck and mount, redo the fsck and exit.
After that login and using you /Applications/Utilities/Terminal check folders size in general using du. Change work directory to the root (cd /) and use the command line "du -h -d1".
You will get some clue about, you can change the depth using -d2, -d3 and on. You can change the work directory using cd /Path/to/Folder and use the du -h -d1 (or other depth).
If you find the 100GB folder drop a line.
Good luck.
Also you will like to use the "sudo du -h -d1 -x" as without sudo some directories are not included and without -x the task is interrupted traversing mounting points in /dev

PSE 9 Organizer Slide show can't find the slide show project files after moving from XP to Windows 7

A bad computer virus forced us to move all our files and programs from XP to Windows 7. The PSE Editor seems to be working properly, but the Organizer Slide Show can't find the project files. The structure of each of the 15 slide shows (blank slides) is there and any text I had added, but the pictures and music are missing. Our computer Tech is not too familiar with PSE and may not have the files in the right spot. Evidently XP and Windows 7 are organized a little differently and use different names. He still has all the PSE files from our old hard drive in a folder and probably just needs to know where to put them.

+Windows Vista has different file locations than Windows XP+
This is the problem - the iTunes ITL file from XP is using XP paths, which don't exist in Vista. Here are some directions that have worked for others:
- Copy your entire iTunes folder --- not just the iTunes Music folder but basically everything under "My Documents" - to external storage
- Copy those files to your "Music" folder on your Vista system. The end result should be that you have "Documents\Music\iTunes" on Vista, where you had "My Documents\My Music\iTunes" on XP
- Put a fresh install of iTunes on the Vista system.
- When you run iTunes for the first time, hold down the Shift key. If it asks you to select a library file, pick the one you just transferred over.
- The end result should be your library, including all ratings, play counts and play lists, sitting on the new system.

Finder doesn't show .numbers files (at all)

i'm running mac osx 10.6 (snow leopard) and am having a strange finder problem. in finder, my .numbers files never show up. i can type in the exact name and it just gives me zero results. i can search using part of the name, nothing. if i open numbers and a .numbers file is in my recent docs, i can open it and use it there, but if i try to open from .numbers and it's not in the recent files and so numbers has to use finder, still nothing.
it has always been this way; this behavior is not new.
please help!
(i'm using iWork '09, btw)

I just experienced the exact same issue Julie. I had never had this happen to me before (that I'm aware of), but it just happened now.
The one thing I did differently (which I thought might have a bearing on it), was after creating the spreadsheet, when I went to save it, I wanted it to appear at the top of a long list of files in a particular folder I have on my desktop, so I began the filename with three spaces. The filename I actually used in this case was "<space><space><space>Timeline". The file does not appear in Finder, nor does it come up in a Spotlight search. The only way I can access the file now is by using Numbers "Open Recent" command.
I then renamed the file without the leading spaces, putting it in the same folder, and it too is invisible to Finder.
On my third attempt, again without leading spaces, I altered the name slightly (calling it" Timeline3"), but this time selected the desktop as my destination, and it appeared just fine.
Now I'm stuck with two invisible files in a folder that I cannot access via Finder.
I tried to duplicate the problem by creating another file (which I named " Can I make this invisible?" i.e. again putting 3 spaces at the beginning of it), directed it to the same folder as before, but it shows up okay. Thus, my "leading spaces" theory may be shot down, but I still wonder. Strang behavior.
I just tried one other thing. I opened my " Timeline.numbers" file (using the "Open Recent" capability, and this time decided to save it to the desktop (with the same three leading spaces in the file name). It appeared just fine! I then took this visible version, and put it in my folder (where the invisible version sits). I thought I may get a warning about and older version of the file existing, but that didn't occur. However, when I do the "Open Recent" command, both appear. Here's a screen shot...
Thus, if you wish to retrieve those files (if they are still available on your "Open Recent" menu), try saving them specifically to your desktop. It may work.
In the meantime, I hope they figure this bug out. And if anyone can tell me how to delete those invisibie files, that'd be great.
I'm running Mac OS X Version 10.6.8, and Numbers '09 version 2.1 (436).

Finder is not showing correct file in cover flow mode. The files shown in the top panel are one file off.

finder is not showing correct file in cover flow mode. The files shown in the top panel are one file off.

This problem occurs after I move a file or files to trash. If I remove one file, then the sequence is one file off, if I move two files to trash then the sequence istwo file off. For example, if I delete file 1 and highlight (click on) file 3, then the cover flow panel shows file 2, when it should show file 3.

Finder doesn't show image dimensions

Hi!
I have a problem with image dimensions in Finder. Finder doesn't show image dimension info in preview column and Get Info window. But when I open in Preview app I can see dimensions in Get Info window. How to solve this problem. If I want to sort images by dimension, I can't do that. Because Finder doesn't know image dimensions. You can see images below.

Terence Devlin wrote:
That's because the Finder is a file manager and works from file metadata. The data you're seeking is about the file contents. You need to use a Photo Manager or Browser.
There is someone who can sort images by dimensions and see dimensions in list view. Also if Finder will not show image dimensions, why give me "Dimensions" and "Resolution" option to select in list view.
VikingOSX wrote:
Launch a Finder window. Press command+J, and set Show Item Info. Now the image dimensions will show below each image icon. If it is a movie, then the duration of the movie is shown.
I have done this. But doesn't show information.

Windows Explorer doesn't display some files until I play or get info for them in iTunes.

How do I get them to all show up in Explorer without playing them all one by one?

I think I solved the problem by going to File -> Library -> Organize Library

Quicklook doesn't show PDF files

OSX 10.10.2
Quicklook does not show PDF files and Preview doesn't open PDF files. When I select file => open, all PDF files are grey and cannot be selected. In Finder I select a PDF file and press CMD-i. In the information window I select open with Preview, but nothing will changed. PDF files can only be opened with Adobe Acrobat. When I drop a PDF file from finder to safari, the PDF file will be visible in safari. When I select "open in preview" in safari, preview doesn't show the pdf file. I can see an error in the console "CoreSercviceUIAgent Error -60005 creating authorization". qlmanage -r and qlmanage -r chase doesn't help.

Finder Doesn't Show External Firewire, But Pathfinder Does

Hey Folks,
Am hoping someone might be able to help me with this. I've been using Pathfinder for a while, but have wanted to switch back to the normal Finder of late. My only hitch is that, for some reason, the Finder doesn't show an external firewire drive I've got running, while Pathfinder does.
The drive is available -- when I go into terminal, the drive is listed. Again, it's just not showing up in the drive list in the Finder.
Any thoughts? I tried dumping my Finder prefs, but that didn't seem to work.
Cheers,
Anthony

Finder->Preferences->General->cycle HDs to show on Desktop. If not, launch Disk Utility->select the FWHD and unmount it. Turn its power off, disconnect the FW cable, and shutdown the machine for five or so minutes. Restart the machine, reinstall the FW cable, and power it up.

Finder doesn't show any windows

Hi,
Recently I got a strange problem, sometime Finder doesn't show any window, I mean if I click on the Finder icon on the Dock no window is shown. Even if I kill Finder (via Terminal using "killall Finder"), also using ⌘+TAB or the App exposuré gesture there is no way to see the Finder window. The only fix is to restart the system!
And I also noticed (this is happen always) that when I copy/move a file the progress bar message box is not shown anymore, I see only the progress in the Finder panel over the file name!
Thank you.

Yes, menu bar was visible, honestly I didn't try to use ⌘+N, anyway I used ⌃+Click on the Finder icon (on the Dock) and even if I was able to see the list of Finder windows that were open I wasn't able to switch clickin on it. I've also tried to click on "New windows" (that I think should be the same as press ⌘+N) but no window was shown.
Thanks.

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.

Finder dose not show all files

finder dose not show all files and is not open.
nothing is shown on the desktop.
how is it fixed?

Could be disk corruption or bad perference file (s).
You may want to run these "standard" fixes if the problem persists.
1) Check the amount of free space on your harddrive. You should have a several gigs free.
2) You should run disk utility
     Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility
     a) verify the disk
     b) update your permissions.
3) Try a safe boot.
    Shutdown your machine. Hold down the shift key. Poweron. Wait awhile Wait awhile while you harddrive
      is being checked.

4) Define a new account & see if the problem occurs on that account.
