Finder not updating

We have a Mac Pro that will not update when new files are placed on the server. We made a folder on the server through the MacPro and it will not show. It showed on all other macs and PCs. It is completely updated and permissions have been repaired.

Yeah seem to be having the same problem with Finder updating as well.
I deleted a few of the files in my download folder and all the files disappeared. Yet only the properly deleted files appeared in the Trash. I browsed back to the dowload folder and one thing had reappeared, then all the others suddenly appeared out of nowhere while I was looking at the folder.
Very strange.

  • Finder not updating when files change

    I’ve started experiencing a really irritating problem whereby the Finder does not automatically update the view of a directory when I save a file in it. It seems to ignore all file system changes.
    This never used to happen. In fact, when I first installed Leopard I was very impressed at how instantly file system changes were reflected in Finder windows.
    Looking at some of the other threads here I tried relaunching Finder to see if that made a difference. However, attempting to relaunch Finder causes it to ‘exit’ and not restart. If I do "ps ax | grep Finder", I get this line:
    486 ?? E 0:00.00 (Finder)
    The process will not exit, even if I try to “kill -9” it.
    Sometimes rebooting solves the problem.

  • Finder not updating copied files

    When I copy a file to a different folder, Finder does not show it. If I try to recopy, it says the file already exists there.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Finder not updating HDD capacity

    Hi all,
    I have a MacBook Pro 2,4Ghz running Leopard 10.5.8
    Today I have moved worth 60GB of data to my external drive, but the HDD capacity has not changed. If I go on Macintosh HD -> Get info, the used and available information has not changed from before moving those 60GB to an external drive.
    Before you ask, yes, I made sure I was moving and not copying and my thrash is empty.
    Thanks for your input!

    Yes - the FileVault encrypted disk image that holds your home folder contents will not shrink down automatically when you delete files from it - it needs to be "compacted" to free up the space on your HD.
    In Tiger, you are offered this prompt on logout:
    !http://i37.tinypic.com/2q2myw8.jpg!
    I'm not currently using Leopard, but from this article:
    *Leopard's FileVault*
    http://www.technowhat.com/files/01cf0213092dcb31fc83e7f91810dcb3-41.html
    In Tiger it prompted if you would like to recover space or skip this process. I found many of my users would select the “Skip” option because of the length of time this would take. It wouldn’t be unusual to see a Tiger system take minutes to finish this process. In Leopard there is no prompt. The recovering option is performed regardless of the user’s feelings, however the process is also significantly faster completing within seconds.
    In Tiger, a laptop computer would only offer to recover the unused FileVault space on logout if the AC power adapter was connected. I don't know if you need to do this in Leopard.

  • HT1926 my itunes will not update due to an error message saying cannot find itunes.msi

    I need help to resolve the fact that my computer will not update. It gives me a message about 95% way through the update that it cannot find itunes.msi and I also went to just uninstall the program completely off my computer and it gives me the same message. Help please!

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • File dates not updated in finder window (Mozilla only)

    OK, folks - here's a real puzzler for you. I'm using Mozilla 1.7.12 to maintain a simple set of web pages. When I save an HTML file with Mozilla composer, the file's modify date in the Finder window does not update consistently. (The window is in list view.)
    The date does not update as long as that finder window remains in the background. Selecting the window sometimes updates one file date (but not others if I've modified multiple files). Switching to icon view sometimes updates the file dates, sometimes not. Only logging out and back in (i.e., starting a new Finder) guarantees that all dates are current. This only happens with Mozilla composer - saving files with other software results in the date in the finder window updating immediately. It seems to me this behavior is new since I updated to OSX 10.4.3, but I can't be positive.
    Any bright ideas? - Andy
    PowerMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Is this causing any problems, or is it just a quirky behavior? For example, if you change to list view and sort by date, does it still get the dates wrong?
    I'm thinking this is probably a really marginal bug, where Composer isn't telling the Finder to refresh the date as most applications do, but then, Mozilla does a lot of unMaclike things. Eventually the Finder figures out that the files have been updated though. There are probably a host of ways you can force it to update, as you've already discovered. You can also force it to update with a simple AppleScript:
    tell application "Finder"
    update every item of window 1
    end tell
    This tells the Finder to update everything in the frontmost window to match what's on the disk.

  • Finder windows do not update their content for ARD

    Server (to which I am connected): MacMini (Late 2012) 10.8.3,
    Computers (with whom I am connected): MBP 2008 10.8.3, iMac 2011 10.8.3.
    After connecting I open any Finder window and try to select files with the mouse (or Command-A). The window is not updated. If you move the window on the desktop, it is updated. All these actions are performed without the monitor connected to the server.
    If you connect an external monitor, so no problem. When connected to the monitor to send the image looks much smoother.
    This problem does not occur if the map files in the list view. The problem is present, if the map as icons.
    Tried to restart the server - did not help.
    Tried to install Combo update 10.8.3 - did not help.
    The problem occurred suddenly, it seems after I added the video in iTunes. (That is up to the challenge I did not install any software or not an administrator password).
    How to fix it?
    Here's a short video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtG1t6q9eFI
    Also there is a server MacMini 2010 (10.6.8) - there are no such problems.

    Found an interesting solution, I have not tried it myself yet, I'm waiting resistors

    (If the monitor is not connected, the video driver is not loaded.)

    My iLife v9.03 Install disk is corrupt. Where can I find a download for the the app (not update) at apple support online ?

    I have an iLife 11 disc that doesn't work very well so I tried creating a disk image of it with Disk Utility.  It took two tries but finally got a disk image that I could use to install the iLife 11 applications. Give it a try.

  • Date Modified in Finder does not update immediately

    I am finding that the Date Modified value takes several minutes to update in my Finder window when I've modified, saved and closed a particular file. Is there any particular reason for Finder not reflecting the the modified value immediately or any steps I can take to remedy this?

    I'm not 100% sure but when the finder window was constantly on the focus of the folder that contained the file in question, that's when the date would take time to update. However, since changing my workflow slightly, I now have several finder tabs open and I've found it changes immediately; or at least, it's updated as my focus has moved to another tab and then back to the tab containing the folder. Need more observation to confirm this though.

    I have not updated my iphone in two years, and error -43 occured. i cannot find any help for this on the apple site

    If the phone has been hacked, we can not offer advice on Apple's support site.
    Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state.

  • Can not find software update on my i pad

    Can not find software update on ipad

    The Software update option was only added in iOS 5. It did not exist before that.
    Assuming you have iOS 4.3 as your tagline suggests. You'll need to connect your iPad to a Computer running iTuines (Can be a Mac or a Pc doesn't matter) and follow the update prompts.
    You'll probably want to back up the iPad before updating though.
