Hide folders in Files view

How would i go about hiding certain folders in my files
panel, preferrably in remote view. I can cloak folders in the
remote view but i'd also like them to be invisible in the
filepanel.

Hi aaz911,
First of all it would be nice from you if you post more informations about your notebook model and operating system. This should be done always to get a detailed answer.
Anyway, I never heard about such a problem but make sure that every files will be displayed:
Start Windows Explorer > Tools > Folder Options > View and enable the following options:
-Hidden files and folders: Show hidden files and folders
-Hide protected operating system files (this should be disabled > without mark).
Furthermore can you find these missing files using Windows search?
If not I assume the files are deleted from somebody or due a virus. :(

Show folders before files view?

I just bought a Macbook Pro which is my first Apple computer since the IIgs. I am a PC technician by trade but I am a total newbie with Macs.
When using Windows, when I open a folder, all folders are listed first and then the files in the 'root' of the main folder are listed. When using OS X, everything is in alphabetical order. Files and folders are mixed together. Is there any way to make all folders be listed first and then files?
Thanks for any help.

If you click on the "view" menu and go to "arrange by" choose kind. That will make all related files bunch together.

Finder not able to view folders and files on EHD after updating to OS X 10.9.4

I can see still see 'Hitachi' in the 'Devices' Sidebar, but I am not able to view folders and files on this Hitachi XL2000 2TB FAT32 Hard Drive (EHD) that is USB connected to the iMac below.
Late 2013 Apple iMac (27-inch Display 2560 x 1440), 3.4GHz Quad-core Intel Core i5, Turbo Boost up to 3.8GHz, 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2X4GB, 512GB Flash Storage, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M 2GB GDDR5, Magic Trackpad, Apple Wireless Keyboard and OS X 10.9.4 Mavericks
All was fine until I updated from OS X 10.9.3 to 10.9.4 earlier this week, so now when I double-click on 'Hitachi' it just loads and loads with nothing happening and never displays the folder and file contents of the EHD.
Also, confirmed that Hitachi EHD has been removed from Spotlight indexing per System Preferences > Privacy > + > Hitachi and it was so this does not seem to be an indexing issue.
I have used OnyX and Apple Disk Utilities unsuccessfully to try and fix this problem.
Interestingly, Backblaze online backup still sees the EHD and connecting this EHD to a Win 8.1 PC also sees the EHD.
Further, I ran the commands below in 'Terminal' to make sure the drive was visible and got the following results which shows that the EHD is not hidden.
iMac:Applications john$ chflags nohidden /Volumes/Hitachi/
iMac:Applications john$ GetFileInfo /Volumes/Hitachi/
directory: "/Volumes/HITACHI"
attributes: avbstclinmedz
modified: 07/10/2014 23:26:44
Finally, I installed XtraFinder and am still not able to see the contents of the EHD, but when I installed OmniDiskSweeper I can navigate the EHD folder tree with no problems and can see the contents of the EHD, but when I try and open up a file it opens Finder which loads and loads and nothing happens.

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.

Remote server view not showing folders or files

My customer uses Dw CS3 with XP SP3. Everything worked fine until their ISP changed their web server. After the change remote site view does not show folders or files although uploading to server works fine with Dw. If I try with Filezilla or any other FTP client everything works normaly. I'm no Dw expert just a sys.admin, but I don't know what settings I should try anymore. I tested this with dw cs 4 also and same problem there.
If I check the FTP LOG from dw it shows the file listing correctly and that I have rights to the folders and files.

Do you know what changed on the FTP server? I would love to know what it is. And if you have been able to solve the issue, then we might be able to provide the steps to reproduce/prevent the problem to Adobe's bug report form.
I have had rather iffy experience with DW's FTP feature with various hosts through the years. Enough so that I only try out DW's FTP when I upgrade, and always resort to using a different FTP client. Although I tend to prefer FTP client software anyway, there are times when it would be convenient to use DW's features.

How Do I Hide Program Acessible Files/Folders?

Hi, lots of times when I install programs, it places useless files and folders in my most frequently used locations (e.g. Documents). This has resulted in loads of clutter and frustration. I have used programs such as Apimac's 'Secret Folder' and Altmomac's 'Hide Folders' but once files/folders are hidden they cannot be accessed by their associated programs thus inhibiting their functioning.
Is there anything I can do to hide these files/folders while allowing them to be program acessible. Thanks alot.

Open the Script Editor in the /Applications/AppleScript/ folder and run the following:
tell application "System Events"
set visible of (choose folder with invisibles) to false
end tell
The folder targeted will then disappear from the Finder; the change may not be recognized until the Finder is relaunched, which can be done by pressing the Control and Option keys while clicking on its Dock icon and choosing Relaunch. Folder can be replaced by file if needed. Your account needs to be the owner of the file or folder in question.

Can't hide Hidden folders and files.

Hi All,
This past weekend I transferred my OS and apps to a newly installed SSD drive.
During the process I had to move some files around in order to get The OS and Apps on the SSD.
I used a technique that utilizes the Terminal and the chflags command.
My issue is now I can not hide the files and folders that are usually hidden.
I can't remember the exact method I used to unhide hidden folders and files. I can't even find a reference to it in my web browsers history.
I have searched on the web for solutions along these lines:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -boolean FALSE ; killall Finder
chflags hidden
sudo chflags hidden
But none of these approaches have worked.
I have downloaded Onyx, TinkerTool and Show Hide Invisible Files.
I have used them as best I understand to hide the normally hidden files and folders, but nothing has worked.
Any Command Line gurus out there have any suggestions?
Many Thanks in Advance!

Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info in Finder (or just Show Info)
from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
☞ Does the dialog show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section?
☞ In the General section, is the box labeled Locked checked?
☞ What is the Modified date?
If you don't have read and write access to the item, change the settings as directed here. Note, however, that if one file has wrong access settings, most likely others do as well. If the item is locked, unlock it.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

Files and folders doesn't show up in Web File Viewer

Hi all, My first post here, so please bear with me. After I received my EX2 I've been looking for an easy way to provide friends and family with access to my NAS so they can up/download vacation pictures and movies without having to install anything. I've run through this guide: http://community.wd.com/t5/WD-My-Cloud-EX2/Web-Access-using-browser-only/td-p/705824/page/2 (big thanks to Mikey Soft) And after reading this thread: http://community.wd.com/t5/WD-My-Cloud-EX2/Dashboard-Web-File-Viewer/td-p/785671 I got really excited. While logged in as admin, I'm able to do all the stuff I want to under Apps --> Web File Viewer. Browse all folders, up/download, rename, etc. But when I'm logged in as another user, I'm not able to even see the shared folders. There's absolutely nothing under the Web File Viewer tab. It only loads for a short while (please wait shows up) and then the site is blank. (screen shot here: http://EliNAS.device2284223.wd2go.com:80/api/1.0/rest/file_contents/Public/Shared%20Pictures/Web%20file%20viewer.png?device_user_id=14852387&request_auth_code=b940ac7e734118bcd1dbabdcaf172015986dc32e603c9cc056b89e5663f748f5 ) Could anyone point me in the direction of a fix for this? When trying to login with a non-admin user through the iOS or Android app all shared files and folders are there, so it only seems to be a problem with Web File Viewer.

Hi there and welcome to the WD community.
Try to do a system restore on the unit to see if this maked the web file viewer since this should be available on any users dashboard. This link Might help you with the procedure on the unit hope it helps: http://wdc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/10433

Customize Explorer View to Hide Folders with no Children

Hello,
Could someone point me in the right direction on how I would customize the Explorer view in Siebel to hide folders dynamically? Currently, for each account, all 4 folders are displayed (Accounts, Upward Affiliations, Downward Affiliations, Contact Affiliations). This gets to be a little busy with complex account hierarchies and would be easier for the user for example if there were no affiliations for the account, then the Upward & Downward affiliations folders would not appear.
I have read the applet toggle approach on metalink, but that seems to pertain more to form fields then the inner-workings of the explorer view. Where else in Tools can I find additional places to customize Explorer view?
Thanks!

Unfortunately not. PSE wasn't really designed for relying on folders for organizing your photos, and it has a number of bugs and design infelicities:

MY system folder, including hidden folders are littered with duplicate folders and files with the suffix (from old Mac) How do I remove them

I have a Macbook Pro running Leopard 10.5.8. I had a problem with my my operating system (my fault, I moved a file I shoudnt have) couldnt boot up but was able to boot up from a backup. I managed to repair my original system except now all the system folders, including hidden folders are littered with duplicate folders and files with the suffix (from old Mac). For the most part the dupes are an exact copy, but not always. I want to remove them to free up space and cant imagine duplicate folders in the /system/library are not hindering my computer. But I dont know where to start and am afraid of doing irreparable damage. Any ideas

Changing all folders to List view in Finder: How to?

I'm trying to accomplish what I assumed would be a simple task...
I want the view of every folder, when opened in the Finder, to be List view. All new folders... all the existing folders... everything.
I want it to forget all about any current settings or other defaults, and force everything into List view.
Is this possible? I'm perfectly willing to dive into the Terminal to delete .DS_Store files or perform whatever brutality needs to occur.
Thanks!

Derek,
Ah, I think I see your problem now. Actually, you are dreaming of the one thing that is, in fact, difficult. You see, every new folder is created (and will always be created, no matter what we do) with Icon View set as the default. This can be overidden by selecting "Always open in Column View," which doesn't necessarily force every window to open that way, but goes a long way towards achieving that end (over time, it works).
Forcing every window into list view is a little more difficult. It is simple enough to make all of your own folders show this view, as only a single "tease" should be necessary for a folder that you own (you can just get in the habit of making this change each time a new folder is created, which normally isn't that often for most of us). Any changes we make to our own folders should "stick" as a matter of course.
The problem is getting all of the root-owned folders to which we navigate frequently to do the same. You probably went a long way toward achieving that end by simply deleting all of the .DS_Store files. The .DS_Store file for a particular folder will be owned by the first user to navigate that folder in the Finder. If that user is you, you will own the file, not root. So, having deleted those files, you gave yourself the opportunity to "assume control" of those directories. Keep in mind that if the folder is owned by root, with a group ownership of "admin," you must be an admin user to be able to write a .DS_Store file to that directory. I assume that you are using an admin account(??).
At this point, I would suggest that you just start navigating your file system and changing directories. If you did not do so as root after having deleted the .DS_Store files, you should be able to make the necessary changes as yourself. Provided you have assumed control of the .DS_Store files, you should only have to make changes once.
Of course, you will still have to click that little button one time for each new folder you create. Apple has gone a long way toward making the interface as flexible as possible (nobody else does it as well, mind you), but as they say, "you can't make everybody happy all of the time." It is an ideal only to be strived for, never to be reached.

Can't see folders or files on a recorded DVD

I have a Panasonic VHS/DVD recorder. In the past - with Jaguar & Tiger - I have been able to see the VIDEO_TS Folder and the files contained therein by double-clicking on the DVD icon.
I discovered that on my MacBook Pro running Leopard, when I open the DVD it doesn't show any folders or files. A window opens on the desktop, but there is nothing in there. Is there anything I can do about that? Did Apple intentionally "hide" the files?
I have a set of a foreign TV series that I had recorded from VHS to DVD, although I was missing a few episodes. At the time, I used MPEG Streamclip on a G4 iMac running Jaguar. A friend recently gave me the episodes I was missing, so I wanted to re-do my set of DVDs.
It will be a lot easier if I can open individual .vob files, so I hope there is an easy solution.

files and folders that start with dot are normally hidden in finder. you really don't want to see them all the time, trust me. they are system files and folders that you don't normally need to see. to see trashed items just open trash in the dock. but if you want to take a look run the following terminal command
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1; killall Finder
to hide them back (as I'm sure you'll want to soon) change 1 to 0 in the command.

Creating pdf from folders of files & retaining structure

Hi there!
I am hoping someone can tell me how to pdf entire folders of files into one file yet still retain the file structure so that it follows the logical sequence that it is already sitting in.
I have several folders of folders with many hundreds of files in which I'd like to combine into a single file or package yet retain the folder arrangement.Current size of this is around 40-60 MB..
I want to make it into one file so its easier to transfer to customers on a CD yet they need to be able to use a folder structure as some of the files contained have similar names yet are different.
Is this possible?
I've just tried to make them into a package but the damn thing [I'm currently using Acrobat 8 Pro] has jammed the whole lot in willy nilly and the folders are all gone so there are multiple pages with similar names but the structure is all gone....
ie I have a master folder called Consultants, and the sub folder have titles such as Product X, contained in Product X's folder are folders - Data & Drawings, Technical information. Files can be in many different formats but mainly CAD, pdf, word.
HELP!
I don't really want to have to go all the way thru this file creating bookmarks... I just want it to look like it does on the server - in folders and easily identifiable so that even an idiot could use it & find what they wanted.

You can't do this, a PDF file is exactly that, one file. What you're wanting is the Windows Explorer view of individual files. If you're putting them on a CD just put the master folder on the CD. If you're transferring them via FTP or similar zip the folder first.
You can however when you're using the Combine files feature in Acrobat 8 automatically create bookmarks based on the file names whcih would save you the grief of doing that.
