Finder only shows aliases
This is not an HP question...
I recently reinstalled a mini with 10.5.8 and then Snow Leopard. After installing the HP driver for their ScanJet 3670 the installation proceeded to very near the end and then threw up the message:
"System extension cannot be used
The system extension “/System/Library/Extensions/hpPlugInInit.kext” was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it, or contact the product’s vendor for an update."
...and then the installation ending with "The installation was successful.", which it wasn't. Following others' advice, I deleted the 'hpPlugInInit.kext' entity and reinstalled the software. Same thing happened again.
I appreciate that this looks like HP's software failure, but would like some views on whether this is, perhaps, more related to the OS and its setup. I don't know what the source of the offending kext is or whether it might be Rosetta-related - the 3670 is not supported under Lion (why it's installed on a SL machine and not my Lion box) and wonder whether this is just old code that is playing up.
Any ideas or solutions, please?
Sorry, folks, this got quite the wrong Title. Please ignore. I have re-posted more appropriately (I hope).

Finder only shows root folders, no folders or files within those
2010 Mac mini. For some reason, Finder now only shows root folders such as Music, Library, Movies, Pictures, Downloads, Documents, etc.
But when I open those folders, there is nothing contained INSIDE them. They appear empty.
I know there ARE files and folders inside of these, but for some reason they do not show.
I can navigate to these files via Terminal without issue.
Where did all my folders and files go in Finder and why are they not showing?
FYI, Finder shows a spinning wheel of dashes in the bottom right constantly.I diagnosed the problem to using autofs. I have edited my /etc/fstab file to have a couple of afp entries, but when these shares are not available, it hangs the Finder on the computer the Mac mini. Why is this? I thought the whole reason to use autofs and the fstab file was to automount shares WHEN AVAILABLE.
Any insight to this behavior of autofs? -
Finder only shows one application at a time...
Hi all,
Hopefully someone can shed light on my dilemma.
After a system crash today I'm having problems in the Finder.
I can only have one application visible on screen at a time.
When I click the Desktop the Finder and any windows there come forward and the previous application is hidden.
If I'm in Safari and click the iCal icon in the Dock iCal comes forward and Safari is hidden.
Icons on the desktop are visible at all times and can be clicked / opened etc.
The only way to have other app windows on screen is to go to the Application Menu and choose "Show All". Clicking a window in another application hides everything again.
Hide "App Name" / Hide Others are both greyed out and I can't use Cmd-H to hide an app either.
I've deleted prefs for everything I can think of (Desktop, Dock, Finder) and opened most com.apple. prefs up to find a flag that's been tripped somewhere but to no avail.
It's acting like the old Mac OS where you could have this as an option in the General Settings Control Panel (from memory...)
Safe Boot didn't help whilst logging into my other users show none of the symptoms. Obviously It's something in my log in that is causing the problem but I don't know where else to look!
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Michael

Outlook 2013 Advances search only shows cached emails
Hi all,
We have rolled out Outlook 2013 with cache mode on, we have set caching to only one month of data. We are using Outlook 365 as our exchange server.
Quick search works as it should and shows all the results. However, advanced find only shows results from the cached emails. IE nothing older than a month. I have run a re-index etc but still have had no joy. Is there something I am missing?
ThanksJust wanted to say hi and check if there is anything that I can do for you on this problem.If
so, please do not hesitate to let me know and I will be happy to help.
Best Regards,
Steve Fan

After upgrading my iPhone 4S to iOS6, my Find My Friends app no longer links to my Contacts and does not show contact names. It only shows e-mail addresses and does not link up to the corresponding email address in my Contacts. How can I fix this?
I am also having problems with a site I am building. No matter what websafe font I use it displays as New Times Roman in FireFox. The correct fonts show in both IE9 and Chrome.
In addition, text shifts in FireFox. I have to position other text objects farther and farther apart as I go down the page or they start to overlap. Nav buttons and other images also have to be positioned in the wrong place for them to be in the correct place when the page is opened in FireFox. FireFox should display pages correctly by default. I can't expect th average user to have to tweek his/her settings to display my site.
I have been recommending FireFox on my website as the best browser. I might have to change that and abandon FireFox myself. -
Question
I opened my computer and the whole top only shows web search, I can not find my bookmarks and I tried reloading firefox and still nothing but tab bar. Tried f10, alt, nothing! Can I reload an old firefox? There is no firefox logo at top. When I rt click at top I see hide toolbar and leave full screen. To the right there is only a home sign. How can I get my BOOKMARKS ??????? I so need them and hate what ever this is that now shows up on firefox.The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

my new ipod nano only shows "pedometer" and "history" on the fitness screen. How do i find the run icon so i can measure distance when i work out?
Try to hook up your nano to your computer and choose the dialog box to update your software. The current version is 1.2 which allows distance to be calculated once you input your height (and weight).

I have a new computer and I am trying to find a link to download photoshop elements premier 11 the link I was sent by the tech only shows what I need...what I need is an actual download button
This is actually the Photoshop forum. Premiere Elements forum is here
Premiere Elements
I assume you realise that 11 is not the current version, which is now up to 12
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=premiere_elements&loc=us
And if yes, that you had 11 installed on your last computer? Did that come on a disk or download? If disk, have you now lost that disk?
If yes, and you registered your software, log on to your Adobe account, and find My Orders (or similar). You may find the download link and your serial number there. -
Finder does not show icons view (it only shows list, column
Since I updated my macbook pro retina late 2013 to yosemite, I cannot see any finder folder window in icon view. It only shows list, column and cover flow view. Not something important, but if there is something wrong, I want to know!
+also since i bought it last December, there is this download bar (which shows the download procedure) on the downloads folder at the dock, stuck there forever. It looks like I am still downloading something, but opening the folder everything is done. It goes away after 2-3 restarts.
can anyone answer if this is a software issue or a hardware?
thank you in advanceThese files are EPS files not image files. They have a TIF or PICT preview inside the file, I believe in the resource or data fork of the file. The file extension is EPS, and I cannot change that, just type the letters. The actual extension, the 4 digit one, that is invisible is the one that is important. In the case of EPS the actual extension is EPSF or EPSI.
Just to try the fix I changed the name and it did try to make a preview, but it came up with nothing. It was blank in column view. The OS still reads it as an EPS regardless of the change in file extension.
Anyone have some answer that involves a command line, I think that is really going to be the only thing that solves this one.
