Finder not Showing all Drives

I tried to back up one of my extra internal hard drives with a drag & drop feature in the program. However, when I dragged & dropped the hard drive it went poof and does not show up in the finder window anymore. It does show up in the disk utility and I verified the volumn to see if that would "bring it back", it did not. I've restarted, pulled the disk out and then remounted it. How do I get the computer to recognize the drive again. It doesn't show up anywhere but in the utility.

Now that I removed the drive and then remounted it, it doesn't show up in the Utility. It was properly formated for Apple and has been working for a couple of years. I have no other MAC to try it on. But, like I said it was working fine until I drag & dropped it.

Xserve Raid Not Showing all Drives Empty - No Green Lights on Xserve Raid Drives

I have an Xserve Raid. I recently set it up with my Xserve server with fiber cables and now when the Xserve Raid system boots and starts all the drives show as empty in the Raid monitor. Not sure if I have something configured wrong and I think I shut it down incorrectly before I got it hooked up right. When I first got it I was able to see the lights on all the drives but now it boots but no drives show up at all. I have fiber cables to the host Xserve machine and the Xserve Raid plugged into the network with only 1x ethernet cables (not 2 if that makes a difference). When I try to manage the Xserve Raid all drives show as empty even though all the 500GB drives are plugged in. Not seeing any green lights when the Xserve raid boots indicates something is up. I reset the controller cards to stock with the paper clip to factory settings. Does anyone have any ideas on what to try. Anyone have this issue? I haven't found any discussions except one that had a single side of drives go down because of a bad controller card. My Xserve Raid shows no drives at all. Any help is appreciated.

Expansion is a 2 step process: First, you expand the array. Second, you merge the slices. The documentation is clear on step #2, but the GUI doesn't FORCE you to do it. However, it is necessary.
If you did both steps, try rebooting your host and see if it picks up the changed size. It does work... the usual issue though is growing the file system to recognize the additional size. On Linux, I can't help you.

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.

Find not showing all files

Why is this happening?

Sorry - I did finally find the App Support folder in my hidden Library folder, but for some reason since my address book crashed, it opens up blank now even though the address book file is there.
I even tried replacing with a backup I did a couple of days ago and it still comes up blank.
I am not iClouding, but I do use Bento, which does show the records. It's just that recently changes I had made to the address book file (via Bento) must not really have updated the system address book file (which Bento uses) because when I synced by iPhone the new changes did not show there.
In any case, my main problem is that Address Book shows no records even though I know they are there because the abcddb file is 9.8 MB (4000+) records.
Anyone have any ideas? Many thanks.

Hi Bhavik,

Server finder not showing all sub-folders

When I access my Mountain Lion Server from my iMac, I instantly have access to folders and sub-folders. But on some (but not all) of these I cannot then access documents within them. In other words, in the multi-pane Finder window, the final pane is simply blank. i.e - Serverdata>Folder>Subfolder>Blank
Read/write permissions on all relevants docs and folders are identical and open for me as an admin. On the server itself, all folders, sub-folders and docs are clearly visible. I'm obviously doing something stupid....any ideas?!

I forgot to mention i've also made this "make shift" refresh button
tell application "Finder"
tell front window
update every item with necessity
end tell
end tell
Copy it, open Script Editor and save it as an executable application in your Utilities folder. Now put shortcuts to it in your Dock or your Sidebar or whereever. When you run it, the frontmost window in the Finder will be refreshed to its most current state from disk.
When I can see all items(when freshly mapped) and I click the app i've made above it removes the same files and folders from view.

Finder does not show flash drive but it is mounted.

After reformatting a drive to FAT it was automounted to the /Volumes directory. I checked and it is there with all of the content there. Disk Utility also is telling me that it was mounted. The weird part is that the Finder does not have the drive in its sidebar. What else is weird is that other drives come up in the sidebar. Reformatting the same device and changing the volumes name will make it come up.
How can I make it show up in the finder?
Is it possible that I somehow blacklisted volumes with that name?

its not on the desktop. I have Finder not put the drive icons on the desktop.
well then turn that option on temporarily in finder preferences->general.

Finder does not show all colors from selected color Labels

Since a view days finder does not show all Color Label colors. When I select either yellow or green it is selected, but it does not show in the file list with details, I can see it in icon and 3 pane view, but not in the detail list view.
does anybody know why or how? Or what plist files I might need to delete to get this reset?

Create a new account, name it "test" and see how your labels work in that User acct in list view? (That will tell if your problem is systemwide or limited to your User acct.) This account is just for test, do nothing further with it.
Open System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" make it an admin account.
Let us know and we'll troubleshoot this further.

Finder dose not show all files

finder dose not show all files and is not open.
nothing is shown on the desktop.
how is it fixed?

Could be disk corruption or bad perference file (s).
You may want to run these "standard" fixes if the problem persists.
1) Check the amount of free space on your harddrive. You should have a several gigs free.
2) You should run disk utility
     Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility
     a) verify the disk
     b) update your permissions.
3) Try a safe boot.
    Shutdown your machine. Hold down the shift key. Poweron. Wait awhile Wait awhile while you harddrive
      is being checked.

4) Define a new account & see if the problem occurs on that account.

When i go into finder click on pictures why dose it not show all photos just lets me open iphoto

when i go into finder click on pictures why dose it not show all photos just lets me open iphoto

Ralph9430 offers a good suggestion. But you may need to do this before taking his advice:
Check in iPhoto's Preferences (which you can open from the iPhoto menu). Look in General, and make sure "Connecting Camera Opens" is set to "Image Capture").
If it is set to "iPhoto", you won't be able to get to Image Capture easily.

Mavericks 10.9.1-Problem with finder not showing peripheral hardware

After upgrading to Mavericks (10.9.1) my Finder doesn't show new hardware in Devices. For example, Finder not showing iPod when i plug into the keyboard's usb. i have other examples of the same problem, such as trying to find a hard drive detached from an old computer. anyone know if i can configure Finder to show all peripheral (hardware) devices? maybe i need to plug the peripherals into back of the iMac rather thatn into my keyboard usb (which i have not tried.) Thanks in advance.

I had a similar issue as you did -- for a few weeks now I've been suffering through agonizingly slow Contacts performance.
The way I resolved it was:
1) Quit Contacts
2) Go to system preferences and go into iCloud, then uncheck contacts -- choosing to delete from mac.
3) Go into system preferences and to Internet Accounts and again uncheck contacts under any of the accounts it's enabled on (gmail, yahoo, etc).
4) Go to your user's library folder (easiest way is to open a finder window, hold down the option key on the keyboard and from the Go menu, select Library).
5) Delete anything referring to Address book or com.apple.address book....   -- check these folders in particular:
     - Address Book
     - Application Support
     - Caches
     - Preferences
6) Restart your computer
7) Go back into System preferences and enable contacts from wherever you want (iCloud, etc.)
8) If it's not quite enabling (appears to enable, but checkbox doesn't show), then do one more restart of the computer.
9) Now open Contacts and allow it to sync

Finder not showing Desktop

Running Mavericks, checked Finder Preferences and 'Desktop' IS checked to show... but it doesn't show the desktop in the left column any longer. Finder _usually_ shows all my drives including internal, external USB, FW, and NAS. Prior to Mavericks I _never_ had the problems showing or accessing anything. Opening files stored on NAS from Apps like Photoshop CS4 sometimes works sometimes doesn't... storing an open file or even a new file on the NAS from PS CS4 almost never works now. Have to first store to a USB or internal drive, then copy to NAS, then delete file on USB or internal so as not to clog drive with hundreds of client graphics files that I use repeatedly.
Is Mavericks this buggy or am I doing something wrong? I'm trying to keep my root HDD at least 1/3rd empty for performance sake.

Any chance the show / hide is not selected in your actual finder folder, not the preferences? I just went 'round with this for a half hour until I noticed that somehow the 'show' was clicked to 'hide' for some reason.....

Lightroom not showing all photos avail for import

About a week ago, I tried to import some new photos into LR 3 (3.4.1 to be exact), and the import dialogue does not show all the photos that should be available for import.
The files are on my hard drive and there are approximately 200 photos in the file folder. When I open LR's import dialogue to import the photos (after navigating to the proper location to import from of course), it shows me 17 of the photos in the file folder! I selected "all" instead of "new" to see if that would make a difference and it did not. I made sure I did not have "do not import suspected duplicates" checked, even closed LR and rebooted my computer.... that didn't work.
I tried creating a new catalog to see if that would fix the issue, and it did not.
I'm not sure what else to try, or if there is a known fix out there (having a heck of a time finding one in my internet search!)
Any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks!
-KBP

Okay, so for giggles I tried checking in the Bridge to see if that changed anything... and it only showed the few files too. So I decided to "select all" and noticed at the bottom left that it listed the balance of my photos as "hidden." I have no idea how my files got hidden, or why it was only some and not others... but at least it's all fixed now and I can get back to what I need to do in LR!

I recently updated my e-mail address with apple, but now it does not show all the "purchased" music that I purchased under my old e-mail address. How can I re-gain access to those hundreds of purchased songs?

You are trying to find a loophole to circumvent a basic rule that prohibits the transfer of purchased content from one Apple ID to another.
Content tied to an Apple ID are bound to that Apple ID forever. You can not merge or trade accounts. Well, not (officially) anyway...
