FOLDERS DISAPPEARING!! DATA IS GONE!
Yesterday we had 2 folders disappear from our server. They contained artwork to over 500 advertisements. We're running OS X Server (10.3 Panther) on a Dual G5 with system 10.3.9. I have tried using Drive Genius to find these files but cannot find them anywhere.
I am afraid someone has accidentally (hopefully accidentally) thrown them away from their computer. Is there any way to find these files? They do not show up in the server trash can nor in the trash can that it gets put into.
PLEASE HELP.
here are some other somewhat desperate suggestions:
1. Somebody worked on those files and renamed them, which is why you can't find them. If so, try and find out what they were renamed to.
2. Somebody changed the format of the files so that the suffix is different.
3. You may at some stage have issued copies of those files - even in an earlier state - to someone else outside your organisation: a print bureau, a client, a consultant. Might they have a copy you could update?
4. You probably know roughly when those files were created and/or last modified. Try doing a search using the "created/last modified" parameters.

IPad and iPhone photos/folders disappear in Aperture 3
Hello all,
As my subject line states I'm having problems with my photos/videos and their folders disappearing in Aperture 3. I can import them without problem via Aperture's built in import feature. I created a folder called iPhone and one called iPad and then import into the appropriate folders.
My problem occurs when I close Aperture. When I reopen my folders and all the projects/photos are gone. This has happened to me to numerous times. It does not occur with the other folders/projects that I have in my library.
I am using the latest aperture update and OSX 10.6.8. All of my IOS are up to date as well and not jail broken. With regards to the photos/videos on my ipad they are mostly ones transferred to my ipad via the camera connection kit.
Thanks for any help or insight you can give.These are user-to-user forums, so I've asked the hosts to remove your email address from your post (posting it on public forums can lead to spam).
Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad. Photos that were synced from your computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from on your computer and then re-syncing.
In terms of editing them, on iOS 6 I get an Edit button at the top left of the screen which gives me some edit options at the bottom of the screen : rotate, enhance, red-eye, crop. The edited version will then be saved to the Camera Roll album, the original photo is left untouched. There are also third-party photo editing apps e.g. Photoshop Express (which is free with some in-app options) - they will also save the edited version to the Camera Roll album, the original photo will be left unaltered. -
I turned on my iPhone 4 with OS 4.1 yesterday morning, and all of my folders were gone, with the apps now arranged in alphabetical order. There was only one folder, a new one named Utilities that contained several of the apps that come with the phone.
I've seen other threads about this happening after synching, but the last time I synched was 5 days ago, and I had turned the phone off and on each day since then with no problem.
I hoped to get things restored by synching (Lenovo laptop with Windows 7 Ultimate). I launched iTunes, connected the iPhone 4, and when I clicked on "Apps" in iTunes, iTunes appeared to freeze. There was no indication that synching was happening. This lasted about a minute, and when iTunes came back to life, it displayed the apps in the same way as on the phone -- except that the letters of the app names on about half of the apps were superimposed over each other, making many app titles unreadable. (No such problem on the iPhone 4.) I exited iTunes, then re-launched it, and at least the lettering of the app names was back to normal.
Again, while others have posted about folders disappearing after they synched, the last time I synched was 5 days before this event, and I had turned the phone off each night and on each morning after synching for 4 days with no problem.
What's going on, Apple? If this phenomenon is caused by some sort of malware, let us know, and tell us how to protect ourselves. (My phone is NOT jailbroken.) If it's your problem, then please fix it. It took me about 2 hours to get all of my apps organized again, and I do not appreciate that.Make sure you do not have
automatic sync
First select transfer purchases
itunes with your device/iphone
attached.
Backup your iphone (take a mental
note or record time you backup)
Enable restrictions on iphone
-go to Settings/
General/Restrictions/ Select on
applies to install and delete
apps
check sync apps
and unselect automatically sync new apps
(if itunes does not allow this and
states warning this will remove
apps from iphone, hit okay)
if itunes syncs, slide to cancel
on your iphone.
Now you should see your iphone
display no longer grayed out on
the itunes/computer display and your folders will
now appear on itunes. At this point deselect
automatically sync new apps on the
left display of itunes.
Now check any apps in the itunes under the "checked sync apps"
that may have had their check marks removed and you should see all of your folders on your iphone retained and appearing on the itunes devices display.
GO about further organizing your folders, sync, and your folders will be retained on both itunes and your iphone.
Good luck. -
Where has sort by date modified gone in search results?
I'm in Lion. Where has the 'sort by date modified' gone in search results? If I search for all After Effects files on my Mac. Lion gives me a list unsorted of hundreds. Date modified header not clickable to sort. Adding a search term 'date modified' will not sort the column by date modified. Dumb.
Spotlight may be a powerfull search engine but it doesn't do the simplest thing you want it to intuitively. Simple search has been messed up for years. If the genus in Spotlight doesn't guess the file you are magically thinking you are screwed.
Find in OS9 was one of the things that made the Mac so much better than the PC. It was simple and you could find your file in a second. The PC guy would still be searching after 10 minutes.
Why can't simple search still be an option?mikesd wrote:
The answer is Forklift. On sale now in the App store for $5. Also lets you sync folders and more but has a simple search that works.
Why pay? You can just open a finder window, type in your search and click on the little wheel in the toolbar that lists these options under 'arrange by'. Or customise your toolbar to add the default icon that does this. One less third-party program to give you potential problems, also.

Folders disappear once imported?
When I am importing new images from my HDrive (where I want the masters) I choose ADD. Once imported, the folders all look great...the main folder is there ie GUJARAT and the subfolders are there too ie Gujarat 1, Gujarat 2 etc. When I close LR, and reopen, the folders have disappeared and do not show up under my HD on the left hand side. However, the photos are there in the main top folder which is my HD. When i locate the photo it does not say it is missing, however, the folder GUJARAT and the subfolders are not to be seen. WHY??? Should I be choosing COPY instead of ADD? or creating a new catalogue? I imported thousands before in this way and never had a problem. Now, my folders and subfolders are not showing up, although the photos are still there......whats going on??? HELP!
No, they don't appear. The total number of photos in the external hard drive (called Little Russian) indicates that the photos are there, have been imported, but they do not show up in the designated folders. I also went to Varanasi and Kerala on that trip, and downloaded the folders fine...they show up with all the subfolders. When I was travelling, I would download my memory cards onto my laptop desktop, then put them on a Lacie Rugged portable hard drive. Then I imported them into LR. I backed them up on another portable Rugged HD. Once at home, I moved those files to the desktop external hard drive called Little Russian. When I opened LR, the photos said they were missing, so I redirected them to Little Russian hard drive and all was fine. This worked well with the Varanasi and the Kerala photos. However, when I went to do the same with the Mumbai, Goa and Gujarat files, they all seemed to import, but the folders would not show up on the left hand side under Little Russian in LR, even though the photos are there, and the count of photos is indicated and correct in the main folder called Little Russian. Here is what it looks like: Little Russian 13,985 - INDIA 2012 - Kerala 2212 - kerala 1 -kerala 2 etc -Varanasi 3822 - varanasi 1 - varanasi 2 etc
Under INDIA 2012 I imported Mumbai and Goa but they don't show up( but the photos are there under the Little Russian main folder)Under Little Russian, I imported Gujarat with 13 subfolders and nothing shows up ( and the photos are there under the Little Russian main folder)I also imported some photos from Mexico as a folder under Little Russian and they are there too, but the folder does not show up.
I tried to click on the folder Little Russian and click add a folder...when I name it Gujarat, it says it is already there and I cannot have two folders of the same name.
I tried to click on GO TO FOLDER IN LIBRARY, but nothing seems to happen.
I can't figure this out.
I am very confused by this....what do you think? I would appreciate any comments.

If you click the little triangle on the right side of your Hard Drive icon in the Folders Panel, do they appear?

Folders disappear after updating all apps
Spend all this time organizing apps in folders, then as soon as I "update all apps" the folders disappear and the apps are in alphebetical order again. This has happened several times. Also some of the apps will be gone because there are too many to fit without folders. What good is the folder feature if they won't stay there? Anyone know if I'm doing something wrong or if this is a bug with i0S4? I have a 2nd gen. Ipod touch. The folder feature is supposed to work with it.
Painthead--
I have a 2nd Gen iPod touch. The folders feature does work with it; I've had no issues...yet.
Try this: once you have moved apps into folders--before doing the update all apps--let the iPod synch. You then should be able to update apps to your hearts content, because both the iPod and iTunes understand your folders.

Why am I having folders disappear in my Finder windows?
I just created some new folders in my Finder window and when I did, many preexisting folders disappeared! I lost a lot of information and want to know if there is a way to get them back!
Have you tried to search for the folders with Spotlight? If Spotlight doesn't turn up any results try looking for them with EasyFind. It doesn't depend on Spotlight's indexing to find files/folders.
If EasyFind doesn't show your folders use Disk Utility to verify your disk. Also check free disk space to make sure you have a minimum of 20% free space. If Disk Utility's Verify finds errors it is very important to back up before attempting to repair your startup drive. Don't use the disk for anything else until you are backed up because that might overwrite your data that you can't find.
Then boot from Lion's recovery partition by holding down Command-R immediately after you hear the startup chime. Don't release the keys until you see the Apple logo and spinning gear. Alternatively, you can hold down the option key in a similar fashion and select the recovery partition. Select Disk Utility and use the First Aid tab to repair your startup disk. It may take more than one pass to repair so repeat the repair process until Disk Utility says the disk is OK. Boot normally and see if you can now find your files. -

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

I did not have this problem running the beta. I upgraded to the shipping version yesterday and whenever I try to move a file or application into another folder, both folders disappear, the desktop screen flashes, then I see the finder folders behind whatever application I had open last sitting on top of the finder window. If I let go of the mouse nothing moves and the windows close.
2013 MacBook Pro 13" retina, 10.10 shipping versionI'm having the same or similar issue... I think... trying to do a little house cleaning in the file structure. For example, in our events folder I'm creating archive folders (i.e. - 2004, 2005, ect...) and when I use the Files Panel to drag and drop the past event pages into the newly created archive folder, the pages loose all their links.
Image link prior to and after moving are the same (../images/logo1.gif)
It does ask me to confirm that I want to move the file but nothing about updating the links. Is it due to the way the files are linked in the original files?
Thanks in advance for any help!!! -
User Access to Public Folders Disappearing (Outlook 2013)
I have one particular user who is losing access to public folders in Outlook 2013. I have found that going to
File > Account Settings > Account Settings > Email [TAB] > Repair... and then following through that dialog temporarily restores public folder access after restarting Outlook. However, once Outlook is restarted
for 30-60 seconds, the public folders disappear again. This is only happening for this one user. They receive their public folder permissions via group membership. Other group members report no such issue. I had another user with identical permissions
log into the same workstation and they again had no issue.
What could be causing this? This is a particularly bothersome problem since this user happens to be the office scheduler and the calendar they schedule on is public (which, thanks to reduced functionality in Exchange 2013, is no longer accessible in OWA).
Tech specs: Exchange 2013 CU5 accessed from Outlook 2013 running on Windows 8.1 Update. Outlook did not log any events during the time when public folders were dropped, nor are there any network connectivity issues being logged.
Any ideas for resolving this?Hi,
Please check the connection status for Outlook.
Press the CTRL key and right-click the Outlook icon in the notification area, then select Connection Status.
Please run the command get-mailbox administrator | fl defaul* to check the default public folder mailbox for this affected user.
Do you have mail-enabled public folders? If you have mail-enabled public folders, you can check if this user can view public folders in OWA.
If possible, please re-add the public folder permissions for this user to check result.
Best regards,
Belinda Ma

Hi,
Question as in the topic: Is it possible to sort folders by date that is written in the folders name? eg. folders are named 26 May 2011 and so on
Thanks
KarolI sort mine 5.1.11, 5.2.11, etc. - that works (adding letters to the numerals does not work as well). Starting with the month will also work better because there are only 12 of them (rather than a repetition of days).
