Finder not recognizing images properly (maybe overwriting new w/old)

I am experiencing an odd and troubling issue with my 15" MacBook Pro (running Mavericks). This occurred on Saturday and I thought I was crazy, but now it has occurred a 2nd time (sort of) and I'm alarmed that this is indicative of some major issues with my machine.
I'm working on a design project where I'm asked to create images for a mobile web page based on an old set of images. The new images need to be the exact same size, dimensions and filename as the old images so that the developer can swap them in easily.
For that reason, I've downloaded the old set of images to my desktop, created new images and am overwriting the old images. (I am saving Photoshop files for my new images in a Dropbox folder --- it is just the final exported files that I am writing to the folder saved on the desktop.)
So here I am, 99% finished and I go to look at the images in my finder. When I do, I see that the images displaying are the old, overwritten images instead of the new ones. There is no chance that I'm just not opening the correct folder or anything like that.
At first, I thought the files themselves were being overwritten by their old versions, but it appears that maybe it is just the finder thumbnail image that isn't displaying correctly. When I actually open the file using Preview, it opens the correct image (new, not old). You can see an example in the screenshot attached. The old image (thumbnail) is the moneyroll. The new image is the man and the woman.
At least the file itself appears to be correct, though I have no idea what happens if I zip these up and email them to another user on another computer. Still, I'm concerned that this suggests there is something really wrong with my machine.
By the way, the incident I referenced on Saturday was much more troubling. It was an issue where I worked on a Dreamweaver file for 2+ hours, saving constantly before closing it. The next time I opened it later that day, it opened the old version. I thought maybe it was due to me changing the name of a folder or something and wrote it off as human error. But given what is taking place today, I'm not 100% sure that is the case now.
Has anyone encountered this? Any insight would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Yup. Thomas, have you tried replicating this in the other direction? In Terminal you can make a folder, chown it to root, get the permissions to the same as those of /Applications/Utilities,  then as a normal user, try dragging something
into that folder? I have - this is replicable.
This is a real bug - worked ok until 10.7.2, then broke.
I have worked around this bug by changing the permissions on my Applications and Applications/Utilities folders so that my account has write permission there without authentication. But that not ideal from a security standpoint.
If any developer out there could fire a Radar report off on this, I'd be much obliged.

  • Calendar Server Error: At least one sharee was not recognized by the server. New invitations have not been sent.

    I deployed a Mountain Lion Server with the calendar service active. Every time a user tries to share a calendar they have created under thier account to an external person using thier email address, the server gives the following error: "At least one sharee was not recognized by the server. New invitations have not been sent."
    Invites to share a calendar to OD accounts on the server seem to work fine.
    I have a calendar specific email address for external invites set up. The server seems to send individual event invites to external email addresses just fine, so I am thinking the email is working. Email is not served on the Mountain Lion Server. The account is through Google Apps using IMAP and SMTP.
    What's even stranger, is that there doesn't seem to be any message in the Calendar error logs.
    I've tried creating a new test account and no luck.
    I don't know what else to try.
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Hi Jim,
    Thank you for your reply to my posting about iTunes not recognizing my iPod Touch after upgrading to Leopard.
    iPods & Finder. Some other postings incorrectly lead me to believe that the iPod would show up in the "Finder". Thanks for setting me straight on this.
    iTunes Not Recognizing iPod Touch. Prior to your posting, I had already read the article you referenced (to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service per article "http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747").
    Prior to your posting, I had also read other articles in various "Apple Discussions" (forums) that suggested this recognition problem could be resolved by uninstalling/re-installing iTunes 8.0.2. Some implied that you could just re-install iTunes 8.0.2 right over the currently installed one without bothering to uninstall it.
    Based on those postings, I "gambled" last night and simply downloaded and re-installed iTunes 8.0.2 (without uninstalling it first). I noticed during the installation that the Apple Mobile Device agent you referenced was also re-installed. Well, my gamble paid off! After the installation (and a reboot?), iTunes onces again RECOGNIZED my iPod Touch.

  • My older iPod is not recognized by cars with a newer iPod interface

    And my new iPod Classic is not recognized by cars with the older interface. 
    I purchased a new iPod when I realized my new car wouldn't wouldn't recognize my older iPod.  Now I find my two older cars won't recognize the new device.  Is there an interface cable adapter out there anywhere?

    The Jaguar there is nothing you can do, and the new interface from the dealer are not compatible
    For the BMW, you have to find out what brand interface was installed in the vehicle
    can be dension or original BMW  in the x5, if dension you can get something call
    Scosche passPORT if  BMW brand you can get a new cable from Bmw with the usb and dual power supply,
    In the Mini if DIce brand you will need a new cable or new iPod interface, now they have a usb plug to do updates in case iPhone 5 is release in the future or any other updates from iTunes

  • HT1553 I restored my hard drive from time machine. Why is iPhoto not displaying images properly?

    I restored my hard drive from time machine after power blinks corrupted the file system so badly that disk utility could not repair it. Since then, iPhoto has not displayed images correctly. Events are there, and blank squares are shown, but that's all. I rebuilt small and all thumbnails and permissions -- I think the top three or four options in the iPhoto rebuild utility, which took five hours to do but which seems not to have changed anything. The iPhoto library is still more than 100GB, so the photos are there. I didn't choose rebuild from backed up --- whatever the final option on the rebuild menu offers -- because that seems to be appropriate only when a backup is interrupted. Could certainly do it, though. How do I get iphoto behaving again? I have full time machine backups saved automatically and another fairly recent copy on a separate hard drive stored remotely. Thanks for whatever help anyone can provide. I've looked at existing questions and solutions without success so far.

    What version of iPhoto and system are your running?  Since you've tried rebuilding with iPhoto give this a try:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
    If you have an external HD you might want to have the rebuilt copy created on it unless you have well more than 100 GB available on your boot drive.

  • ANT not recognized by the command. New style doesn't deploy after reboot.

    I am playing around the cssmill to create the ccs files and I ran into 2 issues:
    If I ran ANT make_main_css -DCOLOR=##, I got error that "'ant' is not recognized as an internal or external command". If I double click the make_all.bat in the directory, the new css files will be created using the new property file I created. After copying the new css files to the common\public\css folder and reboot the portal server, am I suppose to see the new color theme appear from the drop down list for the color options? I am not seeing it.Anyone has run into the same/similar situation? Thanks!

    In the community-theme.txt file, I copied color theme for the following, appended them by the end of the file, and updated 18 to 19.
    mainstyle18-de.css=T\u00FCrkismainstyle18-en.css=Turquoisemainstyle18-es.css=Turquesamainstyle18-fr.css=Bleu turquoisemainstyle18-it.css=Turchesemainstyle18-ja.css=\u30BF\u30FC\u30B3\u30A4\u30BAmainstyle18-ko.css=\uC5F0\uD55C \uCCAD\uB179\uC0C9mainstyle18-zh.css=\u78A7\u7DA0mainstyle18-pt.css=Turquesa frio
    You also need to updated color name to the one you want to use in the language setting you use, for example, mainstyle19.en.css=New Color. Then once you rebooted content server, the "New Color" will appear in the drop down menu for selection. It works on me, hope this works for you too.

  • Help, Safari not displaying images properly

    I think I have narrowed the issue down to the display:inline-block that i have going on, but i thought this was supported in safari 4. Can anyone tell me why this sites images are not showing up properly?
    fotographitti.com/blog
    It shows up perfectly in firefox and in ie8. I haven't tested in others as i am currently lacking resources, but from what I am seeing, the images show up really tiny in safari most of the time. Sometimes it will render them properly, sometimes it will only render 1 or 2 of them properly. Very weird. Chrome has the same issue, but is a little better about it.

    Thank you for your reply. This is a site that I am designing, I know not much to look at, lol. The images are just there to test (and are not mine). I need to make sure that the site shows up properly or at least close enough on most browsers. It's weird that sometimes, it will show up properly and if I hit refresh it will get thrown out of whack, or if it's all screwed up and I refresh it will look ok again. I don't understand, why the images are showing up very tiny. I mean, I look at the page source and the code looks good, so why is this not showing up properly... ARRRRRGGGGHH!!!!

  • SSRS Report Viewer control not displaying images properly

    Hi All,
    when i execute the report in Report Manager i am able to see the report with out any issue,but when i am running the report using report viewer control images getting chopped or Croped like below screen
    shot.
    i am using VS.net 2012 and Sql server 2012 and calling server reports in the asp.net application using Report Viewer control version 11.0
    One interesting thing is some times i am able to see the images some times not (like below screen).

    Thank you.
    Using Report View Control

    Hi siva9000,
    As per my understanding, there is a report with image. When you run the report in report manager, it works fine. When you run the report using report viewer control, the image could not be displayed properly.
    I tried to reproduce this issue on my local machine. However, the report works fine for me when configure a ReportViewer control for remote or local processing. According to your description, the report itself has no problem. The issue may be caused by browser
    or third-party plug-in. To troubleshooting the problem, please refer to the following steps:
    Please run the report using IE, since other browsers may have compatibility problems.
    Open the Internet options of the IE and add the web site into trusted site in the Security tab.
    Please check if you installed third-party plug-in to the browser.
    For more information about Configuring ReportViewer for Remote Processing, please refer to the following document:

  • IPad Air not resizing images properly

    Just picked up and iPad Air this morning. It's acting strangely.  When I try to set a photo for wallpaper, it's not sizing it properly.  I have even tried resizing images in a photo program, but that doesn't help.  Anyone?

    Resizing in iPhoto did not work.
    See the link below for the correctly sized iPad wallpapers.
    It looks like the image is cut down from the too and bottom.

  • Image Field Not Displaying Images Properly

    I am using LiveCycle Designer 7.0 for the sole purpose of having the ability to insert an image field on my documents. I have set up the image field so that an inserted image is scaled-to-fit and right-aligned. When I insert an image, it does insert scaled-to-fit; however, it is always centered. When my coworker inserts an image it is stretched-to-fit and centered. I have double- and triple-checked that I have formatted the image field correctly. It isn't working as programmed. Is this a bug with LiveCycle Designer or is there a way to fix the problem?

    Hi guys,
    I'm also having this issue with Image Fields in Reader 8 - they skew no matter what setting you choose to display them as. 
    Anyone know of a workaround (maybe a javascript to force image proportionality?)?  Image Fields are not very helpful if you require all of your users to download Reader 9...
    Also, I'm aware that Image Fields work properly as long as you do NOT import a pdf as background artwork.  So it could potentially work if you save your background pdf as an image and add it into a new Designer file as an image.  But this causes loss of picture resolution...
    Appreciate any help!
