Folder turns into 0 kb Alias

One of my folders on my external WD hd is now inaccessible and now under "kind" is listed as an "Alias" even though I never created an alias or did anything to the folder.
I looked at a drive through a pc and it is a normal file with all the files inside. Is there a way to let my mac know it should actually be a folder file and not an alias?

I just posted a nearly identical question, David. Did you find a solution?

  • Folder turned into package

    A problem started all of a sudden with no warning. Some of my folders started turning into packages, now in order to access them I have to show contents. Regular folders with working files no apps, the worst one is my User folder with my name has turned into a package.
    Can someone tell me how to turn a package back into a folder.
    N E E D help A.S.A.P. please!!!

    It could be that the bundle bit got reset on the affected folders. If you have Developer Tools installed you can use GetFileInfo command in Terminal to find out. Here's an example:
    NoobiX:~ francine$ GetFileInfo /Users/francine/Desktop/screens/
    directory: "/Users/francine/Desktop/screens/"
    attributes: avBstClinmed
    created: 02/17/2007 11:18:19
    modified: 06/20/2007 14:10:06
    The capital "B" in the attributes means the bundle bit is set so the Finder treats the folder as a package. To change it back you use the SetFile command (also installed with Developer Tools):
    NoobiX:~ francine$ SetFile -a b /Users/francine/Desktop/screens/
    For additional information see an article I wrote on the related invisible bit being set problem:
    http://www.pinkmutant.com/articles/invisible.html
    There's a link to download the two commands you need so you can use them without installing all of Developer tools.

  • Folder turned into a file. How can i change it back?

    Hi everyone !
    Please excuse my english
    I had to transfer a Ableton Live Project from an office Mac to mine via Gmail.
    Sadly when i downloaded it on my computer, it was a file.
    No more directory.
    I tried textedit but there's NO text lines to edit... i tried UnRarX, and many other decompressors.
    I would love to turn it back into a folder and workin' again.
    Thanks!
    (My intuition led me to an issue from Gmail transforming the  " \ " to " / " so the folder isn't a folder anymore!
    Here's the poor guy :
    (The directory contains some of these)
    Peace. Love. Jah.

    Try transferring it again but this time zip/compress it before mailing.  Also include the extension on the file before compressing.

  • Need help with document that turned into alias for Application

    I'm trying to help my dad with a problem, not sure exactly what he did, but he had a page document in a documents folder on his desktop.  He moved it into a *files folder* on his desktop.  Somehow the document seems to have been turned into an alias for for his application folder. When I click on the file name, the document doesn't open, it opens up the Application folder.
    I'm VERY new to Mac. 
    Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.

    This should answer the question:

  • IMovie 09, project keeps getting turned into a folder

    My girlfriend has been trying to make a movie in iMovie 09, and each time the project turns into a folder. When I go to look at it in the Project Library, it has a folder icon and the name of the project. When I open up the folder, it just has folders that say Proxies and Quicklook. She's worked on several different projects, but this is the only one that this keeps happening to. It's very frustrating because she loses all of her work and has to start over again from scratch each time! Any ideas?

    I found the cure!
    1. Move the folder that is your project to ~/Movies
    2. Add the .rcproject extension to the folder. This will make it a proper iMovie project bundle.
    It should look like ~/Movies/MyProject.rcproject
    This worked for me like a charm!

  • Files turn into alias. Original file vanished

    We are experiencing a scary problem on some of our machines. We are using intel macs with 10.6.7.
    They were using InDesign CS5 (7.0.3) at the time of the problem. Both machines have been updated to 7.0.4 and have not had the problem since.
    However this has been a periodic error the whole time, so its not easy to replicate it...
    This problem is as follows.
    During working in InDesign it quits unexpectedly and we need to open it again.
    When we locate the file (on a windows server connected with smb) it has turned into a shortcut or alias witch points to nothing.
    The original file is nowhere to be found. Also, the file has been labeled with the red label from OSX...
    We managed to get the log from one of these incidents:

    The machinename has been altered. The error occurred 13:04:09.
    So far I have not been able to find anyone else with the same error. And in was not mentioned as a fix in the 7.0.4 update we ran.
    At this point we do not know when we will loose the next file, and thats not a fun situation...
    Has anyone else heard of this error?
    At this point even someone else with the problem but no solution would be a comfort..
    Thanks

    This time the customer tried to click on the document in the "Open recent window" and he was able to open it.
    Other than that it was the same as the previous times.
    We have contacted adobe a few months ago. They had not heard about the problem and seemed to take it serious.
    We have however not heard anything after the case was opened..

    You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
    Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "VSearch" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions

    This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

  • How can I access data on an external drive in my mac after all folders have been turned into .lnk files? I am desperate!

    I don't know what happened, I connected my external hd today and all files had been turned into that!

    I know I am going to sound really stupid when I ask this, but how do I do that? There was this folder called Recycle Bin, which I have deleted already but the files are still in the same format. I know they are in the HD 'cause of the space taken up in it, but I would like to know exactly what to do to clear the malware altogether and have access to the stuff I have again.
    Thank you very much in advance and sorry for being such a dummy

  • Had acrobat 8 instaled today i downloade a U torrent and suddenly acrobat turned into u torrent on all my adobe files .. went to open with clicked on acrobat and then it changed to Filemaker which ihave installed.. how can i get back to acrobat???? help

    I originally had acrobat 7 in my machine when Adobe told me that they won't support it and gave me 8 by a direct download to my pc about 4 months ago.  Great worked fin today i uploaded U Torrent and suddenly all my acrobat files turned into U torrents so i clicked on open with and clicked on acrobat and now the files show filemaker Pro which i do have installed..  I need to get back to acrobat for my bills that i send out .. i am disabled and run a small business from home.. all my invoices are now corrupt can you help  please..

    It sounds like you do not have a backup. You might consider a restore to before you installed the problem program. Can you open Acrobat by going to the Acrobat folder and clicking on Acrobat? If so, go to Help>Repair. After that, try the updates if you are not current. Hopefully that will resolve the problem. There is a chance that the program you downloaded as not a proper version and had a virus.

  • Save/Open dialog crashes on opening a folder which contains multiple app. alias

    Hi:
    This is my first post in Apple forum, I've been searching some pages here, obviously I'm not the only one having this (or similar) problem but all existing threads are suggesting "Safe Mode" or "Disk Util" these useless things and never worked for me.
    I believe this is a bug from os x / Finder, not sure if this has been filed or not against Apple bug db.
    The problem:
    Save/Open dialog hangs up when loading / opening an existing folder which contains multiple application alias
    How to reproduce:
    1) Use any browser (I use Firefox and Chrome) to open a page and  print the page / or download something, or print something as PDF
    2) When Save dialog ( some people call it file picker or location selector, whatever) pops up, select a folder which contains multiple application alias
    3) Dialog hangs up, and the application icon on those  alias will not be loaded successfully. Need to Force Quit the browser.
    4) Issue cannot be reproduced always, but frequently enough if you have many application alias and files / subfolders in the target folder
    5) By removing all the application alias, can workaround the issue.
    6) The icons of application on those alias are loaded slowly in a successful loading (seems there are some performance issues)
    7) This issue has not been observed before upgrading to Mavericks
    Env:
    27 inch iMac Late 2012, 2.9GHz i5, 8G DDR3, NVIDIA GTX660M 512M, OS X 10.9.1
    Please anybody (not sure if Apple monitors this community) who knows details in regards to this, share some info. (or maybe there already is a fix ? ) .
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Lyle.

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).

    Remove "Boom" and test.
    Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
    Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
    I never install system modifications myself, and except as stated in this comment, I don't know how to uninstall them. You'll have to do your own research to find that information.
    Here are some general guidelines to get you started. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickMyMac” (a hypothetical example.) First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickmymac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickMyMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickMyMac.” If not, open “BrickMyMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button. The uninstaller might also be accessed by clicking the Customize button, if there is one.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    You will generally have to restart the computer in order to complete an uninstallation. Until you do that, there may be no effect, or unpredictable effects.
    If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase and install OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" such as "AppCleaner" and the like that purport to remove software.

  • Psd turn into JPEG prewiews after save for web. Help!

    save for web>save>save optimised as>save>close. That gives me a jpeg (the previous was a psd), but in the form of a preview thumbnail, top right corner bent, loupe and "JPEG" on it. I did about 20 psd just fine,ending in the folder as jpg images, keeping their previous names  and the new  "jpeg" underneath. What happened?
    Not less odd, as I was shrinking the folder window, (bring in the bottom right corner, but this is probably not related), all the previous ones (the jpeg images) turned into preview icons, too. By moving the cover flow, they turned back into images, and by moving them again, they turned back into jpeg
    icons, this time, not with the loupe and the photos, but with 3 geometrical shapes on them. If I bring them back into Ps CS3 and save for web again, and then close, I get a "save changes to the jpeg document?" question,>save,  which gives me a regular save as window, and they stay images, and I could end the problem like that, but that might cancel the previous save for web. Help! goodnight now.

    I guess I have been sending all along (my almost 2 years of photoshop) inflated pictures of images (which however I take the care of reducing to 1000
    pixels from the original 4000 something that they originally are). What's odd for you guys, and normal for me, is that the computer went back to turning
    out  "normal" .jpg images, in small characters, like it has been doing all along, as if it went on a freaky spree yesterday, and I will probably go along with it, just because i don't know how to provoke deliberatly the JPEG with the loupes which appeared breafly yesterday, and that I am supposed to expect.
    I don't have any third party add on (do you mean plug in?) Only GF, sitting there, unused for a year.
    Of course now i am intrigued: Marion: what do you mean by :"this may be affected by normal Finder settings" ? Any settings that i can control to get those JPEG with loupes that I should expect all the time?
    Thanks everybody, i'll just leave the thread open for a bit in case somebody wants to shed some more light on my state of confusion.

  • All my tabs turned into new tabs all of a sudden.

    Sometimes all of my tabs suddenly turn into new tabs, this happens when I've previously closed the window page and then reopened it. How can I get all my tabs back?

    Do you mean that APP tabs are changed to normal tabs?

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the sessionstore.js [2] file and possible sessionstore-##.js [3] files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note or bookmark them).
