Finder not highlighting correct file

After loading Mavericks I began to notice strange behavior in the Finder. With a finder window open and all the files/folders presented, I select the cover flow options to see the images of the files. If I delete a file, the name goes away in the list, but the image in the cover flow does not, and all the images are off by one.
That is, scrolling up and down the files results in the wrong cover flow image being shown. The name on the image doesn't match then name in the file list.
If I recycle between List only and Cover Flow, everything lines up again. I messed up (deleted) a lot of files before I figured out what was happening.

Seems like a nice program, but that didn't help either. Okay this is weird. I swear I'm staring at a GarageBand song opened up, and I type in the name of that song exactly the way I see it on the screen in Finder (and EasyFind) but it doesn't show up.

FTP connections through Finder not reporting correct file size

Hi,
I have a NAS that running as an FTP server. When I connect to it through Finder it reports the incorrect file size of 2.7GB (the real file size is 61GB)
Its an DMG image file so it obviously fails when I try to image a new IMAC.
FTP through windows reports the correct file size so rules out any problem on the NAS.
Any ideas anybody?
Many thanks.

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.

How to make Finder NOT to show files from a specific folder in "All My Files"?

Hello!
Can someone please advice how to make finder NOT to show files from a specific folder in "All My Files"? See the attach - I recently installed Civilization 5 from Steam and now I have a lot of unneeded files (*.log and *.ini) shown in All My Files colder in Finder.
I don't want to see them. Any advise?

Using "All my Files" was very handy before all this rubbish popped up. =(

HT1338 Application "FINDER"not responding,Desktop files disappeared & " also "Trash" not working svn after relaunching several times.

Application "FINDER"not responding,Desktop files disappeared & " also "Trash" not working svn after relaunching several times.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process (Finder) in the Filter text field. Post the messages from the time of the last crash, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into a message.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Edit it out by search-and-replace in a text editor before posting.
Step 2
Still in the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the process. The report name starts with the name of the crashed process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

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 responding correctly

I started having some problems with Finder and other "core" applications recently. All I have been able to find are symptoms of a problem, but not what could be causing the issues. Here are some of the symptoms:
- When I press the power button, the normal shutdown menu appears, but before I am able to click on any option, the computer essentially resets--the background changes to the log-in screen, before changing back to my background, after which the taskbar reloads, and all of my startup applications open. All applications that were open when I pressed the power button quit.
- The same happens when I press cmd-alt-esc, the command to open the force quit dialog, except the force quit menu never appears.
- When I go to "Force Quit" from the Apple dropdown menu, nothing happens.
- When I try certain things in System Prefs., the application freezes, such as searching Finder for a startup application to add to login items.
- No hotkeys relating to Finder work. For example, normally I press ctrl+D to open my downloads folder, or ctrl+X to open a finder window.
- I can still browse Finder by opening a new Finder window from the File dropdown menu, or by pressing cmd+N, but many icons are messed up, with the same broken image file appearance.
- Strangely enough, my iTunes hotkeys also don't work. All of the rest of them do.
If you have any ideas, let me know! I'm stumped on this one! I know this computer is old, but I'm not ready to give up on it yet. I'm running OS X 10.4.11, in case that matters.

Also: as far as I can tell, Finder won't mount anything. Too nervous to try an external drive though!
Thanks,
Henry

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.

Upload document does not have correct file name

I have a procedure that uploads the file in the table with BLOB. We have a DAD entry on our application server as
<Location /pls/excess_admin_qa>
SetHandler pls_handler
Order allow,deny
Allow from All
AllowOverride None
PlsqlDatabaseConnectString 10.125.1.129:1521:sidq02 SIDFormat
PlsqlAuthenticationMode Basic
PlsqlDefaultPage eeq_main
PlsqlDocumentTablename eeq_documents
PlsqlDocumentProcedure eeq_attach_download
# PlsqlAlwaysDescribeProcedure Off
</Location>
and I have another table in my application to connect the table to other ID's.
It used ot work before, but noe it does not work. The file name should have prefix unique id like "F909307841/Blue hills.jpg", instead I get only C:/temp?Bluehills.jpg.
The table structure is
EEQ_DOCUMENTS
NAME VARCHAR2(128 BYTE),
MIME_TYPE VARCHAR2(128 BYTE),
DOC_SIZE NUMBER,
DAD_CHARSET VARCHAR2(128 BYTE),
LAST_UPDATED DATE,
CONTENT_TYPE VARCHAR2(128 BYTE),
CONTENT LONG RAW,
BLOB_CONTENT BLOB
What could have cause this?

What could have cause this?What browser is being used?
For security/privacy reasons recent versions of browsers by default do not send local file path information from File Browse items to the server, nor expose the file path in the control's JavaScript methods. IE6 & IE7 still yield the path in Windows format. IE8+ adopted an irritating approach of replacing the path with a wholly imaginary "C:\fakepath\"—and this monstrosity has sadly had to be enshrined in the HTML5 spec so we're now saddled with this everywhere...
Changing IE's security config setting "Include local directory path when uploading files" enables the path to be exposed, which appears to be the most likely explanation for this.

Finder not showing individual files

When I am looking at finder, there are no files in any folder. Applications is empty, Downloads is empty, folders I have created are empty. Yet if I I do a search on a file or application it shows it being there. I am running 10.9.4 on an 2009 iMac. Any help is appreciated.

Hi there amorse,
If you can find the file in Spotlight, you can use the "Show All in Finder" option to help you track down where that file is located. Take a look at the article below for more information.

F110 DME File selected is not the correct file

Hi Gurus,
Could you advise on this issue please?
We have executed a payment run F110 for vendors on SAP. The payments documents are created successfully. When we view the payment list via F110 -> EDIT -> Payment List -> generate via RFZALIZ0 program the payments are all correct.
But there is a problem with the DME file. Under F110 -> Environment -> Payment Medium -> DME Administration the total displayed for teh DME file is all fine. However, when we view the DME file created by the run using the Display (gllasses) icon on this screen the data is not correct. The system is selecting data from the last payment run executed in this company code. When we do a download of the file, it is the previous run's data that is contained in the file and not the current run.
The DME variants all seem to be maintained correctly. We have executed payment runs for other company codes and these are all picking up correctly. The DME files are all being stored in the same DME filepath /usr/sap/PMG/dme/ plus company code ID.
When we use FDTA to select out the DME file, again we get the same view as we see in F110 -> Environment -> Payment Mdeium. The totals on the F110 run look good. But the data in the DME file is incorrect.
Can you advise why is the system picking up the wrong DME file for the paymnet run in this company code. All other company codes are fine. We have tested the problem Company Code in our Quality system (where the DME filepath is also /usr/sap/PMG/dme/ plus company code identifier and it works OK there.
How do we get the system to link to the correct DME file data?
Thanks for your quick response.
Michael Ryan

Hi Akhilesh,
We don't use the IDOCs here but just a DME file. The issue here was the DME filesystem is only mounted on one of the application servers. The end user was logged onto the wrong application server and so the paymnet run could not find the file. It was theerfore picking up the last file that it could see from the server that the user was logged onto.
When the user logged onto the correct serevr, the payment run then pciked up the file.
Thanks & regards
Michael

Finder not showing correct free space for DROBO

I have replaced a "working" 16TB (8*2TB drive) DroboPlus with (3*4TB +5*2TB) drives after a low space warning ( just under 1TB free with double redundancy)
I Am having the problem with free memory being shown as 439.4 Mb from Yosemite finder for my FW800 connected DroboPro (1.2.2) ( also using USB2)
(It very very occasionally it shows the correct value but there does not seem to be a logic in it.)
MBP (early2011) 10.10.1
running just one 16TB volume,
Drobo Dashboard (2.6.3) shows 9.81TB used with 6.18TB free ( from 20TB 4+4+4+2+2+2+2+2 single redundancy=3.94TB)
"About this mac">Storage shows 6.8TB free of 17.59TB (with data type other=10.79TB)
Disk Utilty shows Drobo as 17.59TB with 6.8TB available.
How can I get finder to show a more "correct" value, as I cannot save any files (>439Mb) to it despite plenty of memory available.
Other applications and OS DiskUtility and Storage show correct values.
I have tried saving a small file at route level and also preventing spotlight from indexing it, both make no difference.
Drobo non-Suport do not want to know as the DroboPro is no longer available. Caveat Emptor

What is the source that you are looking at?
Download OmniDiskSweeper and/or Grand Perspective and open it. How does it compare with your MBP data?
Ciao.

Folder problems on external drive, not showing correct file size

I've run across a strange problem. I'm media managing for a tv show, meaning I'm offloading video from CF cards onto 2 external drives, one is a Drobo Raid (set up for backup) and another is a Lacie rugged drive. After copying the media to both drives, the folder I copy will match, but sometimes as I drill upward in my folder structure, suddenly the file sizes will not match. To be more clear: 2 folders will show differing file sizes, but inside that folder is only another folder,nothing else, which matches across the drives. I've shown all files in finder and there's no hidden files, though sometimes I see the ds_store files are different sizes (8k vs 16k), but that's not always the case. Sometimes if I simply create a new folder and move it's contents into it I can get the folders to match, but sometimes that doesn't work. It's part of my workflow to show that these copies match exactly via screenshots, and although the most important folder (the direct folder holding the footage) always matches, these folder problems are super frustrating as it's not constant, and any workarounds also work inconsistantly.
I had an accidental disconnect of the Drobo one time, and although none of the data seems to have any problem, I fear it's done something to the directory. The rugged drive is swapped out every few days and the problem seems to be on the Drobo. Because the nature of the data is pretty important, I'm afraid to just try messing around with repairing or other software solutions unless I know it's super safe and won't harm the data.
I'm at a loss as to what's causing it and at the very least how to avoid it cropping up. Any help or insight would be appreciated!

I had the same problem with my iMac, first I repaired the disk, then I ejected the disk, restarted, and then reinserted the USB in a different port. All of my files magically showed up. I don't know what caused the error but it has been working fine since.

File Save dialog box not showing correct file name while saving file

hi
Currently, after the Submit button is hit, the File Save dialog box is displayed. If the user saves the file and then opens it then the output appears correct however if the user chooses to open the file without saving on the local machine then the correct viewer is not used to display the file. The name of the file is defaulted as qotSCopPrint.jsp and the default file viewer for jsp files is chosen to view the file. The format of the file is obviously not text (it is either pdf or rtf) so the output shows binary characters.

data : v_repid like sy-repid.
parameters : p_file like rlgrap-filename.
initialization.
v_repid = sy-repid.

Mavericks Simple Finder Not Displaying Correctly

I have upgraded one of our network mac minis to mavericks and have created a test server for it, i am trying to use WGM to restrict the finder for students to simple finder this works but no finder launches at all, when i create a local account on the machine and use parental controls to push out simple finder when you click on the documents folder in the dock it opens up a finder window that has no sidebar and no toolbar this allows you to drag and drop files into apps (this is what i am trying to achieve with WGM for domain users). is there a way of making WGM push out the "same" simple finder as parental controls does it is not an option under the parental controls tab in WGM

Problem is you're doing what a lot of beginners do, trying to
create a
page by using one single table and splitting the cells into
numerous
cells......that aint going to work as you have found out.
It doesn't help either that you are allowing Fireworks to
generate this
code. When you do that it normally produces fragile code that
the
browser tries its best to interpret and a lot of times fails
The design you're trying to produce is a fairly basic 2
column table
which you should ideally set up directly in Dreamweaver.
A sticking plaster option would be to remove all the elements
in your
navigation side bar and merge that column back into one
single cell. You
can do that by click-dragging in Dreamweaver then in the
properties
inspector where it says 'cell' in the bottom left corner
click the white
square icon which will merge all the cells into one.
The downside to this is that it may upset the fragile code
created by
Fireworks and throw your page into even more turmoil.
If it does work you then need to insert another table (a
nested table)
into the cell which you merged back into one. Then put your
navigation
buttons into it.
Tables that are independent of one another cannot interact
and so you
create a more stable environment for your design.
