Finder Not copying all selected files!
Over the years i have never made a solid folder structure now reaping the issues of that with over 50,000 photos, movies, graphics, and things i have made. I now started trying to cut down and remove all the duplicates. One thing i have noticed is how bad the finder is at doing its job.
So i searched for all the pictures througout all hard drives, i let it run for over an hour and it apparently had stopped at 10,000, so i scro to the bottom and more start loading i sit there untill about 40,149 appears to be as far as it will go. over 75% of those found are from application manuals within the apps directories... This isnt a problem, the problem is when i go to select all of those pictures to try and put them into one folder on one drive instead of scattered throughout all my drives, it coppies less than what i was told was being copied!
Okay so here is a snap of the search and the selected items, and then what its reconizing as its copying.
and because that probably really hard to see i made this
So it says its going to copy 9,865 files.... but in reality it only copies 8,191 thats 1,674 files un accounted for!?! and to prove it here are the copy results!
Which is some how 1 more than what the copy screen said but still thats 1,675 files unaccounted for... How am i supposed to trust my finder now that i know its this flawed? I need help i am literally going insane trying to organize this and my Mac being incapapble of doing so without threatinging the loss of precious family memories....
Im not the onlyone with this problem apparently... but it has still yet to be solved!
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2442766?start=0&tstart=0
This one is even better...
https://discussions.apple.com/message/5142717#5142717
Please i need help this is seriously causing a serious pain in my life... i never had such a problem with windows.. maybe i should stop reccomending macs....
Really no help?

May I ask why the above required file store directory was not initializated as part of nmEnroll'ing process ?
thanks,
fabioHi,
Before doing nmEnroll() from a Remote Box....First and Most important thing we need to make sure that the Directory structure of WLS installation and the <DOMAIN_HOME> directory should be exactly Identical. It means the Absolute path of Installation and Domain Directory should be exactly same. Better if you use "pack/unpack" tools provided by WebLogic. as described here in STEP-7) : http://weblogic-wonders.com/weblogic/2010/04/28/weblogic-clustering-in-remote-boxes/
Thanks

I moved from an old macbook to a new one. I have installed Office for Mac 2011. I copied all my files from my old notebook onto a hard drive. On trying to setup my mail, i went into my hard drive and accessed microsoft user identities, office 2011 and it shows the database but wont let me select it. Its almost as if the file is there but not accessable. I desperately need to access my old mail. How do I do this? I am fairly confident that I copied all files off my old notebook. Is there a way for me to search for the Database file? Maybe I copied it to a different location? Urgent help please.
Hello mafrerichs and welcome to Apple Support Communities,
Simplest way is to use Target Disk mode:
How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode - Apple Support
and hook to another Mac and use CCC or SuperDuper and clone your HD to another drive.
You could also pull the drive out of your MBP and use an external USB case or SATA - USB dongle to hook it to another Mac.

Finder not displaying all files in remote directory
Sorry, this is a repost as I have gotten no response from my original request here: Finder not displaying all files in remote directory
I've exported pictures from iPhoto on my iMac to a shared directory on my mac mini. When I access that directory from my iMac, I can see some but not all of the pictures. I know the pictures exported properly because I can see them all from the mac mini. I can open up a terminal window on my iMac and see all of the files; I can also open those files from the terminal.
I'm running OSX 10.9.4 on both computers, with the mac mini also running OSX Server. I've placed a screen grab below from my iMac of what Finder sees vs what I can see from the terminal.
Why isn't Finder displaying all of my files?thanks for responding
Adding a new file to the shared folder results in me being able to see the new file from my clients regardless of where it was added from, however the "hidden" files do not suddenly pop up.
I tried a few more experiments that had interesting results, but still didn't lead me to an answer.
First I tried copying the files from the remote directory to a local directory; I did this in 2 different ways and had different results. Method A) I copied files from the mounted share to a local dir: "cp /Volumes/MyShare/dir/*.JPG .". Method B) I copied the files using secure copy: "scp user@server:/path/to/dir/*.JPG .".
Method A resulted in Finder not being able to see the files in the local directory, while Method B did. This was interesting and lead me to suspect an issue with the way I am sharing the directory on the server. From Server settings I have both afp and smb checked. I tried enabling only one or the other and reconnecting; but this did not fix the problem.
Next I tried exporting the photos from iPhoto again. Exporting them locally results in files that Finder can see. Exporting them to my server results the same bad behavior
Getting desperate, I also tried renaming all of the files from "*.JPG" to "*.jpg" but this didn't help.
One last experiment, I see the same behavior from both another Mac and a PC on my local network... FTP works fine.
Any more ideas? -
Finder Not Showing All Files in Folder?
I have had this happen to me in Tiger before but in the past week or so I have come across two instances where Finder is not displaying all the files in a folder. On the first occurrence, I was moving files over from a samba share and for some reason Finder was not reading a few music files. Thus, those files did not get moved over, and just now I was reviewing some bank statements and one of the PDF statements I saved yesterday did not appear until I did a "killall Finder" in Terminal. Has anyone else experienced this? This seems to be a serious flaw that could bring about data loss issues.
Thanks,
James

Latest Mac OS X 10.5.1 build fixes Finder data loss issue
By AppleInsider Staff
Published: 04:00 PM EST
Apple Inc. on Monday continued to pound away at its first maintenance and security update to the recently released Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard operating system, issuing a new test build to developers that fixes the much publicized Finder data loss issue.
People familiar with the ongoing testing process for Mac OS X 10.5.1 Update say the new build, labeled Mac OS X 10.5.1 build 9B16, was accompanied by a note to developers that specifically mentions a Finder-related fix affecting files that are moved between directories.
It was widely reported earlier this month that Leopard's Finder is affected by a glaring bug in its directory-moving code, which could lead to horrendous data loss if a destination volume disappears while a move operation is in progress.
Those people familiar with pre-release builds of Mac OS X 10.5.1 also added that the software update will deliver an enhancement to Leopard that will allow Apple's Software Update and installer applications to make revisions to application files which may have been moved outside their designated "Applications" directory on Leopard volumes.
As was the case with build 9B13, which was released for private testing last Monday, Apple is reportedly asking that its developers test the latest build broadly, paying particular attention to Time Machine, Mail, iCal, Back To My Mac, Bonjour, AirPort, gaming graphics, networking and the Finder.
Mac OS X 10.5.1 is expected to be released as a free update within a few weeks' time. -
Why does iphoto not copy all photos when transfering
Hi peeps.
why does iPhoto not copy all photos from an event when im copy/pasting to an external folder on my mac(for later transfer). All softwares are up to date and ive only just realised it happens, but when i copy all pics in an event then paste in a folder, the pic count is substantially different. for example i select all pictures in an event called 'new1', the count of files is 188. i then copy/ paste to a folder, select all files and check 'info' and it says 141 files???
all i can see painstakingly going through to compare which images are in each place is that the ones that arent in my new folder , seem to be the ones ive edited in iPhoto?? conincidence? or am I missing something fundamental here? Ive only just realised this is occuring. The trouble is, after moving images to folders/hard drives I subsequently delete them from iphoto to keep my macbook airs HDD with some space. So basically all of the versions of pictures I want, i.e, the new edited and adjusted versions are no longer! NOT HANDY!
help please.We've seen a few reports of this in the past while and no one is sure of the cause.
Use the File -> Export command. See this User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
for details of the options the Export Dialogue offers.
If you're interested in your Photos then this workflow
The trouble is, after moving images to folders/hard drives I subsequently delete them from iphoto to keep my macbook airs HDD with some space.
means you are losing quality, metadata and the version of control. If you don't want these why use iPhoto at all?
You could just move the whole Library to an external:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

I was able to copy all my files from my Time Capsule, but that is all they are...files. How do I get my new Mac Mini to emulate my other Mac?
Doggiemommie,
Copying files is not a good idea.
The "other Mac" was backed up onto Time Capsule using the Time Machine. On your new Mac you should restore the old user - rather than copy files manually.
This usually happens during the initial setup of the new computer or you can do it later using Migration Assistant.
Please note, it is possible to damage backup file on the Time Capsule when you browse it and copy files manually.
Hope this explains.

I have an old version Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Premium. I uninstalled it from my old computer and was trying to install it on my new computer. It copied all the files but I cant open them and it doesn't ask me for my registration info, which I have. What shall I do to get Adobe up and running?
when you were install your cs3 you should have been prompted for you serial number. were you?
if not, you probably didn't properly install cs3. copying/migrating/moving etc is problematic.
if yes, did you see any error messages during installation?
if yes, attach a screenshot of the error message.
if not, check you install logs, Troubleshoot with install logs | CS5, CS5.5, CS6, CC -
FileSelectPopup in LW/CVI not listing all directories/files in linux.
This is concerning a port of Windows based software to Linux. The FileSelectPopup dialog does not list all the files and folders in the current directory. For example, if I look in /home/pshrewsberry I can see everything but when look in /home I cannot see pshrewsberry! Another example: If I am in a directory "test" which contains directories A,B,C and D only B and D are listed. The same happens with files as well: In the FileDialogTest directory that I have attached to this post when I browse this directory using FileSelectPopup I can't see the cvibuild.FileDialogTest directory (created after building) nor can I see the binary "FileDialogTest".
This problem does not happen in all directories that I browse through either. I can't seem to find a rhyme or reason to it. File permissions on all files in FileDialogTest (for example) are the same and UID and GID are same as well but the FileDialogTest binary and the cvibuild.FileDialogTest directory are not listed. If I run as root I get the same results.
I have tested this in Linux with LW/CVI8 and the LW/CVI 2010 beta and I get the same erroneous results with both.
Could this be a bug in LW/CVI for linux?
Thanks

FileDialogTest.tgz 4 KBI'm not sure how to track a corrective action request.
What is the timeframe for this to make it into a beta or a distro. I just went throught this before concerning another problem that I found. We ultimately received an updated shared object file (*.so) to fix the issue before the ultimate release of fix in beta. That resolution is preferable for this issue as opposed to waiting for the next official update.

SMB share not showing all available files
Hi,
At work I have to connect to several SMB shares. Most are fine, however 1 of them does not show all the files that are on that share. I know I'm using the right domain, username and password. I've checked the console and can see this message repeated when I connect.
mbgetmem(449): incomplete copy
mbgetmem(449): incomplete copy

I'm using OS X 10.4.8 and have no idea of how to proceed. My IT department do not support our Mac's so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks
Kieranexcellent reply. Thanks for the details.
Oh, one more thing-
this 30-item limit is just in this same troublesome share.
Before the day gets away from you, ask the network admin to check permissions on this share. Perhaps the 30 files you see are the only ones that you have explicit rights to view.
they may need to ease up on restrictive permissions on this folder/drive.
(Images over a network can be funky, since Mac wants to display a little thumbnail of all those picture files...if you're viewing 'as icons', what happens if you change to 'by list'?...thinking out loud there.)

How can I copy all the files from my iMac to an external drive so they remain as 'regular accessible files'? I want to clean my dive
You can use a program like Carbon Copy Cloner. It will clone your HD to the external. The format is the same as your internal drive and you can boot from it using Option key at boot time.

purchased a song from iTunes, i tried to transfer it to my itouch, but i received an error "iTunes could not copy because the file could not be converted". how do i convert the song (well, i thought it will automatically be converted)?
Problem Fixed:
Remove the song from your itunes library, then go to the itunes store and try to download it again. It will say something like "this song has already been purchased, would you like to download it again for free?". Click yes, and it will download again. This worked for me, hope it helped -
