Finder is deleting files AFTER successful transfer OS X - Win / sharepoint

This is strange but I've encountered it a number of times now. I'll set a bunch of files (large) to transfer as a selected group between my MBP and another windows machine in our workgroup and upon completion, most if not all of the files will be deleted.
Anyway, the behavior is that it will transfer all the files (agonizingly slow on a wireless -> wireless connection) one by one. You can even play them on the receiving end after each one completes.
Then when the transfer finishes, the files will "disappear" from the receiver and can't be recovered. (No recycle bin, just remote delete)
What's even stranger is that the last time this happened, (12 files for ~4gb) it kept the first two files and deleted the rest of the set.
I'm pretty sure that I can reliably reproduce this, it's just painful to do. I've lost all faith in the mac finder though and can no longer straight "move" files from one place to another. I have to copy, verify, and delete. sigh
I'm all patched up with the latest software updates, and I don't think it's the receivers fault because typically that would entail a move the recycle bin (recoverable).
I've experienced this with 10.6.4 as well.
My workaround (which is unacceptable) is to move the files one by one and babysit the entire process.
What's going on here?

Apple Support was quite helpful, but in the end I will wait to do a clean install of OS X Yosemite which is due in the Fall and not try and fix OS X 10.9.4 Mavericks.
It turns out that I run backups on my '/Users/john/Library' and the size of this folder before the 10.9.4 update was 1.07 GB and after the update it is 806.9 MB which is baffling, but in the end all of these problems should be resolved with a clean install of OS X Yosemite.
One lesson learned for the future is that I will wait on installing an update until it has been in the wild for awhile as a quick OS X Mavericks Finder Problem search and similar searches show there could be an issue.

Failed to delete file after processing FTP

Failed to delete file after processing. The FTP server returned the following error message: 'com.sap.ai i.adapter.file.ftp.FTPEx: 550 Unexpected reply code *.txt: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. '. For details, contact your FTP server vendor.
I got this error many times for the same interface. Not sure what is the reason for this.
Searched on internet go comments that this is because of FTP version!
Please help

It is the "Msecs to Wait Before Modification Check" in the Sender Adapter that ensures this. It works like this: PI starts processing, finds a file, then waits the number of miliseconds specified and checks the file again to see if it has changed over the waiting period. If so, then it waits again to make sure the file is written completely. Only if no changes took place over the waiting period, it starts processing the file.
And the fact that your file was successfully processed at retry only confirms that it might have been still written to by the sender system. You can try comparing file's creation timestamp (in OS level) with its processing start time in PI - this could prove me right.

Lightroom mysteriously deleted files after trying to convert RAW to DNG

Running Lightroom 1.3 on the MacPro 10.4.8
Strange thing happened. I had a catlogue of 11,824 photos yesterday.
The catalog was a mix of RAW and dngs and I wanted to convert the remaining RAWs to DNGS.
All photos were in place, no ? marks before I used "Convert photo to DNG" command. In the Convert photo to DNG I had the boxes for Only Convert RAW files, and Delete originals after successful conversion CHECKED.
I realize I may have been asking way too much for the computer to do, and wasn't surprised when nothing happened for about 5 minutes. Finally I got the message that it couldn't convert because the original file could not be found.
After that 2,268 files were missing. And as the day goes on today, and use the program that number is increasing, even when not asking to convert.
I don't think it's a hardware issue. Ran disk utility and all checks out with that. And the deleted files are on 2 different drives.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

First step I'd check and find the actual images, make note of their file paths. I'd be surprised if any file was truly missing; just that LR has lost the path for whatever reason.
Second, I'd do the conversion on a much smaller scale- in my case, my workflow is such that I choose to convert to DNG when most or all of my work on a folder is done. So I do it pretty much by folder, which generally don't exceed a few hundred images.

Finder displaying deleted files

I'm having a problem with Finder that I haven't seen before. In the past few days, Finder lists deleted files along the left hand side of it's display, under "Desktop". When I select one of these files the message is "The alias "xxxx" could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found."
Is there someway to force Finder to refresh it's view so that it don't display those deleted files? Thanks for any assistance.
iMac G4 17" 1Ghz Mac OS X (10.3.9)

After about half a day of the slow rate of removal of items by "Secure Empty Trash" (as reported in my O.P., above) a few minutes ago I noticed that the temporarily went back to about one item per second.
About 20 items were removed at the higher removal rate.
Then, the removal rate went back to about i item per minute.
Does that help towards solving the issue?

Find and delete files with common name in different directories

I have hundreds of invisible files in many different directories on my 10.4.11 server with .fstemp at the beginning of their name.
They are taking up space and I would like to delete them.
I can find them using
find . -type f -name .fstemp
But I can't work out how to use the rm command with a wildcard to delete them - I don't want to have to visit many different directories and run rm.
Do I need to pipe the results from the find to rm ?
For extra credit (you can probably tell I am out of my comfort zone here)... the files are all locked. I believe they will need to have
chflags nouchg /Directory/filename
applied to unlock them before they can be deleted. Can the terminal pipe find|chflgs|delete?
Thanks,
b.

Well, if they weren't locked you could just 'delete' them in the find command. Otherwise …
Open the Terminal (from /Applications/Utilities) and copy and paste the following into the Terminal window, one line at a time, with a return after each line:
sudo -s
find / -type f -name ".fstemp*" -exec echo 'chflags nouchg "{}" && rm -f "{}"' ; | sh
I have tested this, but obviously with some substitutions. You only need the double quotes around the curly brackets, "{}", if your filenames contain a space.
To be on the safe side, you should check this out without the final "| sh". Then you will see the commands that would be executed with the full version.
Finally type exit to get out of the root shell.

Finder shows deleted files until I reopen the folder

Hi,
I am having a problem in finder after I updated to Maverick (10.9)
Say; I have 3 files in a folder and I delete the first file, Finder still shows all 3 files. But when I open the first one in an app it opens the second one because the first one is already deleted.
I go back to previous folder in finder and come back, then the deleted file disappear and I see 2 files left. This is really annoying.
Is there a solution for that?
Thanks.

Thanks a lot.
I tried to delete plist files as you wrote but there were no such files under that directory. So I deleted them using terminal as described on that page;

But it didn't help.
Same problem continues.

Recover deleted files after Aperture Import

I opted to delete movies after importing to Aperture from my iPhone 5s. I got an import error and the files were deleted. I tried a recovery utility found many but not these deleted files. Where did they go? Can I get them back?

Where did you find them in the Aperture Library six levels down? In the folder "Masters" or in a folder "Importing"? If it is Masters", they have been imported correctly, and you should find them in Aperture, when you search in Aperture with a rule "File Type" is video,
If they are inside a folder "Importing", the import has not finished correctly, and it would be safer to copy this folder to the Desktop and to try to import the videos again.

Cannot delete file after calling JAI.create() method

hi all
this is the first time i write to this list
today i began to use the JAI api on a project
it works fine but i am not able to delete a file after using it
my code:
for(int i=2; i<2+filenames.size(); i++)
                try
                    String fName=filenames.get(i-2).toString();
                    if(fName!=null)
                        File file=new File(uploadDir+"\\"+fName);
                        FileInputStream f=new FileInputStream(file);
                        ps.setBinaryStream(i, f,(int)file.length());
                        PlanarImage pi = JAI.create("fileload", uploadDir+"\\"+fName);
                        System.out.println ("heigh : "+pi.getHeight());
                        System.out.println ("width : "+pi.getWidth());
                        f.close();
                catch(NullPointerException n)
                    n.printStackTrace();
                    return;
for(int i=0; i<filenames.size(); i++)
                String fName=filenames.get(i).toString();
                File file=new File(uploadDir+"\\"+fName);
                if(file.delete())
                    System.out.println(fName+" deleted");
                else
                    System.out.println(fName+" not deleted");
                           }i use this code in a servlet that receives an image to put it in a database.
JAI is useful to get heigth and width of it.
the problem is that i always get the "not deleted" message.
i'm quite sure that is a problem of the bold code (JAI code), also because, cutting it, i can delete my file
anyone could help me?
thanx a lot in advance
alessandro

excuse me another time!
my first post was right.
i'm not able to delete an image after creating it with JAI.create();
i'm still lookin' for a way to close all the references to my image in order to delete it
how?
thanx a lot

File adapter - archiving files after successful processing & errors

Hi All
In sender file adapter, I understand that we can archive files after processing them.
After successful processing, we can archive the file, and if there are any errors, we can archive the file in a different folder (all files resulting in errors during processing are archived in a seperate folder).
Now, see this scenario.
My file is successfully picked up, processed and posted to receiving sap system thru proxy.
But, if there is any application specific error (ex: duplicate id), because of which this data cannot be processed in the receiving system, how can i move the file which is archived in successful messages folder to the folder where we archive error messages?
Is it possible?
This is required because, when there are these kind of errors with incorrect data, we want the corresponding file to be archived in the folder where erred files are archived.
Please let me know how we can achieve this.
Many Thanks
Chandra

in file sender CC, thr is option to archive and error file store also..
1)under processing mode - archive.. give the path thr..
2) To archive source files where a permanent error occurred during processing, select Archive Faulty Source Files

OLT - Why can't it find my databank file after I've uploaded it?

I got this last minute high priority load test dropped in my lap the last second so any help asap would be greatly appriciated! We've started using OpenScript, but not OLT yet so I'm trying to figure this out.
All I'm trying to do is run a simple login script - it works fine and iterates through when I play it in Open script, but I can't get it to find the databank using OLT.
1) I added my script to the scenario
2) Then went to Tools - Upload file - and uploaded the .csv to the right repository - Upload was successful.
3) On the Build Scenarions tab I go to the Configure Data Bank icon - my data base IS there, but when I click on it it says "Cannot find the databank file (repos=...rep name)
Help! any ideas?

I'm not sure if this is your problem, but one thing that was added recently is that OpenScript has a setting to store the databanks with a RELATIVE path.
If you open your script, go to Script / Script Properties / Script Assets.
If you then look at each databank, there is a checkbox "Save path relative to current script".
You may have problems if you have a databank locally (whilst developing the script) but needs to be in the same place on the SERVER when actually running them in OLT. If you develop scripts purely on the server itself, this shouldn't be an issue.

Slow to browser finder or delete files

I have a macbook pro connected to a maxtor shared storage II gigabit NAS via a gigabit switch. I use Samba to mount the drive via 'connect to server'. For some reason, copying files to the drive I only get a peak throughput of 8MB/s and when browsing the finder or deleting a directory with many files, it takes literally ages. The file names come at a rate of 1 per second.. Does anyone have a clue?

I must have been taking a vacation from my brain yesterday - everything you are talking about must be files in your Mac's home directory, right? There'd be no reason for the Windows Migration assistant to copy anything but data from your Windows data directory. All your data should have preferences set like this: (except it would be your name and not davidwb)
You can select an entire folder, choose GetInfo from the Finder's File menu, click on the lock to type in your password and then click on the Privelege line to set your rights to Read & Write. If your account name doesn't show in the list you can click on the + and add yourself and set your privileges. Then click on the gear and select "Apply to enclosed items" That will set the privileges for that folder and everything in that folder. (If that folder has folders inside it, check each to make sure the changes took on them. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't)
This is true for everything in your home directory but the Library. In the Library many folders have only read/write privileges for the user and everyoneelse has no access privileges. I'd recommend leaving the library alone until/unless you find that you must make changes there.

ITunes will not delete file (after confirming & sending to recycle bin)

Files deleted within iTunes do not disappear from my hard drive.
I answer "Are you sure you want to remove the selected podcast from your iTunes library" and select the "Remove" button.
I then answer "Do you want to move the selected podcasts to the Recycle Bin, or keep them in the iTunes Music folder?" with "Move to Recycle Bin".
Music files (mp3) occasionally delete properly but video podcasts (Geek Brief to be specific) will not delete.
Music is stored in J:\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music which is slightly non-standard but seems to fit the rule of being "inside" the iTunes folder.
Any ideas? [I've seen similar but not quite the same posts where people are trying to delete files outside the iTunes folders......]

I too have this same problem with deleting video podcasts. The problem doesn't happen all the time, but probably a majority of the time. It is quite annoying as many of the video podcasts I subscribe to are in HD format so it is rather frustrating to have to manually delete them from the iTunes folder after deleting them thru iTunes, but since they take up gigs of space it is necessary to go in and clean them out every once in a while.

After installation my Photoshop Elements 8 doesn't find pictures or files after December 2007.

I have installed Photoshop Elements 8.
Earlier I had PSE 4.
My new version can't find pictures with date after December 2007. What is wrong? All pictures are stored in the same file. Please help.

From your description I am not able to understand the problem correctly...
Where are you finding the files? On your file-system or in PSE Catalog?

Password Required to Delete Files after Doing Security Update 2014-001/Safari Ver 6.1.2

Just updated my MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion. Prior to the update the computer was working fine; I was able to delete files in the customary manner. After updating, however,I am required to enter my password to complete the action. I am uning Lightroom 5 and I cannot delete images from within that application at all even though it should work. I can create folders and move them . . . I believe the only problem I have is as stated. Any advice as to where to go from here would be appreciated . . .. .
