Finder shows deleted files until I reopen the folder

Hi,
I am having a problem in finder after I updated to Maverick (10.9)
Say; I have 3 files in a folder and I delete the first file, Finder still shows all 3 files. But when I open the first one in an app it opens the second one because the first one is already deleted.
I go back to previous folder in finder and come back, then the deleted file disappear and I see 2 files left. This is really annoying.
Is there a solution for that?
Thanks.

Thanks a lot.
I tried to delete plist files as you wrote but there were no such files under that directory. So I deleted them using terminal as described on that page;

But it didn't help.
Same problem continues.

I used time machine to restore on a formatted MAC. Now the HDD space has reduced by 100GB but I cannot see any of the files. How do I find and delete those 100GB data from the HDD?

Not necessarily. I'd suggest downloading and installing the "combo" update. That's a combination (thus the clever name) of all the updates to Leopard since it was first released, so installing it should fix anything that's gone wrong since then, such as with one of the normal "point" updates. Info and download available at: http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate Be sure to do a +Repair Permissions+ via Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder) afterwards.

i backed up my ipod during a windows backup. how do i find those ipod files(not itunes) in the windows backup files? i've tried searching and i can't find

so i plugged in my ipod and it asked if i wanted to backup the files before restoring it.
Do you mean iTunes asked if you wanted to backup files before restoring? If so the it is in the location I posted. You don't need to navigate to the backup. Once your restore your iPod it will ask if you want to restore from a backup and present you with the backups made before hand.
To restore information from a backup, use one of the following methods after connecting your iOS device to the computer with which you normally sync:
-Click the File menu and select Devices > Restore from Back up.
Or
-Open the iOS device's Summary tab. There are two ways to access this:
-Click the device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper right corner. The device button will then be visible.)
-From any view in iTunes, click the View menu and select Show Sidebar. Select your iOS device in iTunes under Devices.
-Click the Restore Backup button.

Finder displaying deleted files

I'm having a problem with Finder that I haven't seen before. In the past few days, Finder lists deleted files along the left hand side of it's display, under "Desktop". When I select one of these files the message is "The alias "xxxx" could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found."
Is there someway to force Finder to refresh it's view so that it don't display those deleted files? Thanks for any assistance.
iMac G4 17" 1Ghz Mac OS X (10.3.9)

After about half a day of the slow rate of removal of items by "Secure Empty Trash" (as reported in my O.P., above) a few minutes ago I noticed that the temporarily went back to about one item per second.
About 20 items were removed at the higher removal rate.
Then, the removal rate went back to about i item per minute.
Does that help towards solving the issue?

USB Flash Drive: Trying to recover space from "erase free space" problem. Finder shows no files i

Hi,
I have an 8gb flash usb drive. (recognizes 7.5gb)
I must have stop the operation or use erase free space orsomething stupid. Regardless, i just want to get it back to full capacity of7.5 gb. I think right now its only 6.2 gb. Finder shows no files inside thedrive. Let me know what i need to do. I try looking at different webpages aboutsparseimage file or 00 written in place of my missing 1.3 gb. But i dont knowhow to get it back. I am new to OSX, so please help me with clear instructions.Thanks

You can reformat it. Plug the drive in, launch Disk Utility (in your Alications> Utilities folder). Select the dove, theme erace/reformat it.
Just be carefully you accidentally don't erase any other external drives!

I am trying to open space in my macbook hard drive, so I deleted files and after emptying the trash bin the amount of Gigs didn't increase, why? Where can I go and delete those files?

Did you do a secure empty trash? SHIFT COMMAND DELETE, they will be over wriiten. Are you deleting docs as they aren't much space, videos,pictures,music use much more space.
You can move those fiels to an external "archive" drive to save them then delete them from your internal drive.

You can't do anything, you should just wait.

I'm getting a similar error over here. Sporadically some sites won't load specifically in Safari; they open just fine in Opera, Firefox and Camino though. This is really annoying.
It's pretty clear it's nothing network related…

How do I save PDF files by default to the folder of the source file?

How do I save PDF files by default to the folder of the source file with Acrobat 9.0.0 Standard?

I am not seeing that behaviour. If I right-click a link to a .pdf file, I get the file saved with the original filename.
Maybe one of the settings in about:config controls that?
pdfjs.previousHandler.preferredAction is a setting that has a value of 4 with my setup. I have no idea what that means, and I could not find any explanation anywhere. You could try using different numbers for that value and see if any make any difference. Why has nobody bothered to explain that setting anywhere?

How to sent importet RAW files into the cloud? The files was importet from Canon EOS via camera adapter to the iPad. The Files was stored in the folder importet. But the files does not sync with photostream.

How to sent importet RAW files into the cloud? The files was importet from Canon EOS via camera adapter to the iPad. The Files was stored in the folder importet. But the files does not sync with photostream.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Only photos taken on the iOS device and after photo stream was enabled will be added to photo stream.

Finder requires password to delete files, Trash does not show deleted files. Please help me resolve.

Deleting folders/files causes the password pop up interface to appear, does not seem to matter where the file/folder is. After deleting, it should appear in the trash, but does not. Moving files is not affected, with the exception of moving files into Trash. This did not happen in the morning.
Accessing ~/.Trash gives following message "The folder “.Trash” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents." .Trash is hidden, and i can't view its permission from the Get info page.
I am the owner of the laptop, i don't understand why this is happening. The other thread with similar problems involved a software upgrade and had problems with moving files also, whereas my MBP was okay this morning, i didn't do anything else from then till now.
i did a ls -al ~ on the terminal, relevant lines as follows
drwx------
10 root staff
340 Jan 18 02:09 .Trash
compared to desktop, which i had no problems (yet, not sure)
drwx------+
30 Mac   staff
1020 Jan 18 02:08 Desktop
i don't understand the notation, reading up about them does not clarify any more then to confuse me further.
My user is "Mac", ~/ goes to folder "Mac"
Please help, I have tried booting from save mode, and it is the same.

Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on solving Trash issues. You can also try using Trash It! 5.1 to fix the problem. Or you can try this:
Open the Terminal in the Utilities folder and paste the following at the prompt:
    sudo rm -Rf ~/.Trash
Press RETURN. Enter your admin password when prompted. It will not echo to the screen. Press RETURN again.

Slow to browser finder or delete files

I have a macbook pro connected to a maxtor shared storage II gigabit NAS via a gigabit switch. I use Samba to mount the drive via 'connect to server'. For some reason, copying files to the drive I only get a peak throughput of 8MB/s and when browsing the finder or deleting a directory with many files, it takes literally ages. The file names come at a rate of 1 per second.. Does anyone have a clue?

I must have been taking a vacation from my brain yesterday - everything you are talking about must be files in your Mac's home directory, right? There'd be no reason for the Windows Migration assistant to copy anything but data from your Windows data directory. All your data should have preferences set like this: (except it would be your name and not davidwb)
You can select an entire folder, choose GetInfo from the Finder's File menu, click on the lock to type in your password and then click on the Privelege line to set your rights to Read & Write. If your account name doesn't show in the list you can click on the + and add yourself and set your privileges. Then click on the gear and select "Apply to enclosed items" That will set the privileges for that folder and everything in that folder. (If that folder has folders inside it, check each to make sure the changes took on them. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't)
This is true for everything in your home directory but the Library. In the Library many folders have only read/write privileges for the user and everyoneelse has no access privileges. I'd recommend leaving the library alone until/unless you find that you must make changes there.

Finder is deleting files AFTER successful transfer OS X - Win / sharepoint

This is strange but I've encountered it a number of times now. I'll set a bunch of files (large) to transfer as a selected group between my MBP and another windows machine in our workgroup and upon completion, most if not all of the files will be deleted.
Anyway, the behavior is that it will transfer all the files (agonizingly slow on a wireless -> wireless connection) one by one. You can even play them on the receiving end after each one completes.
Then when the transfer finishes, the files will "disappear" from the receiver and can't be recovered. (No recycle bin, just remote delete)
What's even stranger is that the last time this happened, (12 files for ~4gb) it kept the first two files and deleted the rest of the set.
I'm pretty sure that I can reliably reproduce this, it's just painful to do. I've lost all faith in the mac finder though and can no longer straight "move" files from one place to another. I have to copy, verify, and delete. sigh
I'm all patched up with the latest software updates, and I don't think it's the receivers fault because typically that would entail a move the recycle bin (recoverable).
I've experienced this with 10.6.4 as well.
My workaround (which is unacceptable) is to move the files one by one and babysit the entire process.
What's going on here?

Apple Support was quite helpful, but in the end I will wait to do a clean install of OS X Yosemite which is due in the Fall and not try and fix OS X 10.9.4 Mavericks.
It turns out that I run backups on my '/Users/john/Library' and the size of this folder before the 10.9.4 update was 1.07 GB and after the update it is 806.9 MB which is baffling, but in the end all of these problems should be resolved with a clean install of OS X Yosemite.
One lesson learned for the future is that I will wait on installing an update until it has been in the wild for awhile as a quick OS X Mavericks Finder Problem search and similar searches show there could be an issue.

Find and delete files with common name in different directories

I have hundreds of invisible files in many different directories on my 10.4.11 server with .fstemp at the beginning of their name.
They are taking up space and I would like to delete them.
I can find them using
find . -type f -name .fstemp
But I can't work out how to use the rm command with a wildcard to delete them - I don't want to have to visit many different directories and run rm.
Do I need to pipe the results from the find to rm ?
For extra credit (you can probably tell I am out of my comfort zone here)... the files are all locked. I believe they will need to have
chflags nouchg /Directory/filename
applied to unlock them before they can be deleted. Can the terminal pipe find|chflgs|delete?
Thanks,
b.

Well, if they weren't locked you could just 'delete' them in the find command. Otherwise …
Open the Terminal (from /Applications/Utilities) and copy and paste the following into the Terminal window, one line at a time, with a return after each line:
sudo -s
find / -type f -name ".fstemp*" -exec echo 'chflags nouchg "{}" && rm -f "{}"' ; | sh
I have tested this, but obviously with some substitutions. You only need the double quotes around the curly brackets, "{}", if your filenames contain a space.
To be on the safe side, you should check this out without the final "| sh". Then you will see the commands that would be executed with the full version.
Finally type exit to get out of the root shell.
