Finder in Yosemite does not display files

since i upgraded to Yosemite i have been having a problem with finder displaying files. if i save a new file to my desktop it does not display until i logout and log back in. when i open any folder other than my desktop nothing is displayed. i just get a spinning wheel in the bottom right corner. if i list the folder in terminal all the files are displayed. i did not have any these issues with mavericks.
iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011)
3.4 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
AMD Radeon HD 6970M 1024 MB

I'm getting the same result - both with 10.10 and with 10.10.1 Beta. The finder will display the main HD root, but nothing under it - except the Desktop. New files on the desktop require a log out-in cycle to appear.
Other apps that normaly have file system access also will not show second level files. Launchpad only shows "Loading Applications", so it looks to also not be able to access the apps directory.
Other drives do not have this problem - only the main system HD.
The dock also seems to lock up quite often...

OS 10.9 Finder sidebar suddenly does not displaying proper contents

OS 10.9 Finder sidebar suddenly does not display most items; only shows couple items I don't even want there. Can change what shows in first finder window but sidebar not responding to "Preference" changes. Screen shot is what it shows now. I downloaded a Yahoo widget and their widget player app today, could that cause this?

I did force quite finder--> no effect.
Finder uaed to list in "sidebar" each of the main folders in HD i.e Documents, Pictues, Downloads, Movies, Applications...(I get same window contents open if click on HD icon as when clikc on Finder). Now none of that.
Just now went back into preferences and unchecked everything in sidebar section. If I check for it to just show HD then everuything does show up but several windows to the right and HD icon is all that shows in sidebar but only if I first then click on (in order across the open windows: Users then geoffreylevens1 (system name).
If recheck items they do NOT show up in sidebar. See attached

Yosemite does not display correct Storage information

Take a look at the screenshot, there is no way this is right. I think my apps take up at most 25GB, but its displaying double of that. Yet the total Free Space seems to be correct.

   Re-index Macintosh HD.
   Spotlight reindexing will take a while to finish.
   System Preferences > Spotlight > Privacy
   http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2409
   You will see a new category “Other” in the Storage Display.
    About “Other”:

Note:
If you don’t have Macintosh HD icon on the desktop,
Finder > Preferences > General > Show these items on the desktop:
Enable “Hard disks”.

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?

Adobe Bridge CS3 - does not display thumbnails for Canon 40D or 50D RAW files

I wanted to use Bridge to view my Canon EOS 50D RAW files and it does not display the thumbnails, just icons. I checked my 40D cr2 files and saw same thing.
I have purged the cache and rest the cache preferences and it has not helped. I would like to be abl eto view the thumbnails of the RAW files via Bridge if possible. Jpg files and Tif files can be viewed without any issues.
Am using Bridge version 2.1.1.9 and Pshop CS3 10.0.1

I have the exact same problem. I can view my RAW file thumbnails (which are .ARW files from my Sony A200 camera) in the Finder and in other applications, such as Preview, but not in Adobe Bridge CS3. I know that I did try purging the cache at one point to see if that would fix it, but then I didn't know what to do after that. Before I purged the cache, I was able to view RAW thumbnails in Bridge, but then they would not increase in size when I tried using the slider (at the bottom right of the Bridge window)

Safari does not display PDF files?

My Safari browser does not display pdf files. Whenever a site I'm reading links to a pdf file, a new page open in black but without content.

Try this ...
Open a Finder window then from the menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Click Go.
If you see the: AdobePDFViewer plugin in the Internet Plug-Ins folder, move it to the trash.
Restart your Mac and try opening a PDF file.

RH7- Insert action does not display window to select the file.

I have a nightmare situation with RH7 with no clue to resolve. What are my options to fix this
I am having trouble with robohelp, selecting insert action does not display the pop up window. This prevents functions such as inserting images & files, importing files and creating hyperlinks to documents created in word, frame maker.
when I perform this action, the pop up window appears virtually but is not visible to make the selection and RH freezes.
I have to end the process or press esc to find some work around - so far none available
Please help.

Welcome to the community.
Have you recently gone from a dual monitor setup to a single monitor? When this happens, RH can sometimes keep tossing dialog boxes over where it thinks the second monitor is. I typically use a program called ForceWindowVisible (get it here) to push wandering dialogs back into view. Give that a try and see if it works. Hope this helps,

Visual Studio 2012 Find in Files not Displaying Files

Maybe I am doing something wrong but all of a sudden the Find in Files in my VS2012 does not display the actual file results. It displays the count but the file list is empty.. Am I missing something?
Thanks.

Hi Shahrouz,
I can't reproduce your issue.
There are some steps as following below you can try:
Check the setting Find and Replace(Tools->Environment->Find and Replace(
Use “devenv.exe /resetsettings”
Use Visual Studio Setup Wizard (via Control Panel) to repair Visual Studio
You also can read the reference about Find in Files:

Hope you can find what cause your issue.

.mov file does not display on the web-site

iWeb is easy to use but my simply link to a .mov file does not work. I am working on the Domain file on my Desktop so I can move it between computers, and it renames the media file in the inspector from name.mov to name-1.mov. In the end the site does not display the animation.

Are you linking to this file so that it can be downloaded from your website?

WinCE Projector does not display flash file properly

Hi,
I built a projector application for loading flash files on a
Windows CE 5.0 based embedded device. I am using Flash player 7 for
WinCE5.0. The projector was built using embedded VC++ for an ARM
processor.
The basic idea of this flash application is content delivery.
So, this projector loads a container flash file stored locally on
the device. This container flash file communicates with a remote
server(webserver or FMS) to retrieve content (flash files, audio,
video, images, text etc.). Right now, I am trying to load a series
of flash files from the remote server - one by one - like a series
of ads.
The problem is that, the series of flash files loaded does
not display properly inside the main container file. I am using a
loader component in the main container flash file. All the flash
files loaded must play full screen. But some files do not play
fullscreen. It automatically shrinks to a smaller random size. This
behaviour does not repeat. It occurs randomly for any of the series
of files I am trying to load in the container flash.
When i tested the application on the desktop, it works fine.
But on the device, the loaded flash files shrink automatically. Can
someone explain why this is happening? Is this problem usually
associated with flash player on embedded devices?
I am stuck with this problem for a long time. I tired
different methods to get around it, but could not succeed. So I
would really appreciate it, if anyone can throw some light on this
issue and preferably provide a solution?
Thank you,
Jothishankar

I am using Flash Professional CS6.
It lets me edit all the symbols and bitmaps, and key frames.
However, it just publishes as a SWF a bit incorrectly.

Bridge CS3 Does Not Display Pentax PEF files

Hi,
I am running Vista and have Bridge CS3 installed on my Notebook. I updated Bridge to v 2.1.1.9 and have added Camera RAW 4.5. My problem is that Bridge does not display Pentax RAW files from a K20 camera (its on the supported list). DNG and JPG files show correctly. Bridge only shows a PEF Icon for each image. When you double click on the Icon, the file opens in Camera RAW 4.5 correctly and also in Photoshop CS3.
Can anyone tell me what I need to do to see the PEF images in Bridge?
Thanks
Keith

Revisit the download page, look at the instructions, and make sure you unzipped ACR to the correct folder, and you don't have an ACR in two places.

I do not manage to find the function to change a letter into exposing. I have MUSE DC 2014.2 and the menu does not display this possibility. I tried to import it IN design but that does not function either?

I'm not clear on exactly what it is you're asking, but if you're referring to changing opacity, you can change the opacity setting for the States of a menu item via the States panel and Control Strip.

Thanks for your lengthy reminder dude, I have a similar Mac with yours. I suspect its a software fault because it happens after I upgraded to Lion, 10.7.2.
