How can I see /tmp on a Network Volume?

So if I'm using Connect to Server AFP volumes when I connect in Finder to the root volume of another machine directories like /tmp are not visible how can I see /tmp and other folders?

That and all the other Unix directories are invisible. They are invisible so that the user cannot access them and because they do not require access by a user. Is there a particular reason why you would need to access /tmp or the other invisible files and folders?
In order to see invisible files and folders via the Finder, you must turn on the capability. You can do that by opening the Terminal application in the Utilities folder, and at the prompt enter or paste the following command line then press RETURN.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles Yes
To turn off the feature substitute No for Yes in the command line. There are also numerous third-party utilities that can do this such as TinkerTool and ShowHideInvisibleFiles - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

  • How can I see the PC on my local network

    How can I see the PC on my local network. With Leopard installed I see the others Mac on the network but ot the PC. But the PC see me. What happen and How I can resolve that.

    Have you tried connecting to the PC via the Finder's "Connect to Server…" and used the IP address?
    It would be smb://server.ip.address/sharename
    Do you have the workgroup set up in the network preferences for the service that you are connected to your LAN with.
    There is also a problem on Leopard where the workgroup doesn't stay set, so if that is the case, you need to duplicate the service (ethernet, airport, etc) and use the duplicate. You can then remove the original.

    I guess the question is how can I listen to all my songs that i bought from my two computers if i want to listen to all of them in one computer. I don't have a network.  Is there a web base site I can do that? or anything else?
    Please help
    Songs that you purchase from the iTunes Store are simply files.  They only sit on the computer where you purchase them, until you copy them to another computer.
    That is how it works.  There is no web site where you can play all your files.  It's primitive I know, but there may be changes coming.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • MacBook can't see my home wireless network after upgrade to OSX 10.8.5

    After upgrading to OSX 10.8.5, my MacBook does not detect any wireless nertworks. My iPad and iPhone work fine, my router has been rebooted, WiFi is turned on, and the ethernet connection is how I am writing this message to you via broadband. There are a half dozen wireless networks in range (according to my iPhone) but the MacBook cannot find the router I am sitting next to. Any ideas on how to correct this issue?

    It appears an SMC reset was required:
    HT5815 I've just done the 10.8.5 update on my MacBook Pro end of 2008, and WiFi don't work after reboot... Impossible to activate it...
    Here is your other post: MacBook can't see my home wireless network after upgrade to OSX 10.8.5
    If you reply to it and marked it "solved", perhaps with a link to that post (copy and paste it, or just say you performed the SMC reset) it will help others find a solution. Thanks!

    Do you have a home network?
    Personal File Sharing: You can connect Macs on a local network with Tiger’s Personal File Sharing, which allows you to mount folders from the sharing Mac on the master Mac—note that the slave Macs do the sharing; the master Mac doesn’t have to. To turn on Personal File Sharing on the slave Mac, do this:
    Open System Preferences.
    In the System Preferences window, click Sharing.
    In the Sharing pane, click Services.
    In the Select a Service to Change Its Settings list, select the Personal File Sharing checkbox.
    Now that the slave Mac has sharing turned on, you can mount it on the master Mac’s Desktop:
    In the Finder, choose Go -> Network.
    In the Network window, select the sharing Mac.
    Click Connect.
    In the Connect to Server window, click Registered User, enter the user account name and password for the sharing Mac, and then click Connect.
    In the window that appears, select the volume that contains the folder you want to sync with, and then click OK.

  • How can I see the photo quality settings in iLife'06 books

    I assembled a 100 page book using iLife'05 over the last week or so. Luckily I hadn't ordered the book before learning about the new "improved print quality" when using iLife'06.
    Well, iLife'06 finally arrived today and I installed it and... Well, do I need to scrap my old book or can I just go ahead and order through iLife'06 and get that new great quality?
    While still running iLife'05 I printed my book to a PDF file and the file size for the PDF is 150.4MB.
    I then installed iLife'06 and printed the same book to another PDF file and the size of the file was ONLY 57.4MB. Almost a third the size. If anything I was expecting the PDF file to be much larger (double?).
    I even did a side by side comparison of the two PDF files using Preview and I've got to say that the '05 version was better than the '06. This makes sense since the file size is much larger in the '05 I would expect the image quality to be better.
    So, now I'm worried. How can I see what the settings are and how can I tell what I'll get when I'm going to order a book?
    Thanks!
    PowerBook G4 15 1.67Ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

    Chuck:
    The Print to PDF file is not exactly the same as the one iPhoto creates for uploading and printing. Here's how to get the iPhoto version. It involves going thru the ordering process until the book is assembled and then finding and copying the pdf file to the desktop and then canceling the ordering process.
    How to Find the iPhoto Generated PDF File:
    1 - Start the ordering process and stop after the book has been assembled and you get to the Order pane where you select the cover color, copies, etc.
    2 - Go to the Finder and select the Go->Go to Folder menu item (CommandShiftG).
    3 - copy the following, “/private/var/tmp/folders.501/TemporaryItems/iPhoto” (for Panther the path is "/private/tmp/501/TemporaryItems/iPhoto“), and paste into the Go to Folder search box.
    4 - the iPhoto folder will be brought up. In it will be the PDF file that was generated by iPhoto. You can copy it (Option-drag) to the Desktop to review and/or save.
    Note: the iPhoto folder will not exist before you start the ordering process and is deleted after the order is completed or after you cancel the order and quit iPhoto.

  • HOW CAN I SEE THE ENTIRE STRUCTURE WITH FINDER?

    Hi Folks,
    I need an help. How can I see everything in my hdd, the exact content of it, using Finder and not an 'easy view'? For example, in the hdd root there are folders like 'tmp', 'var', 'usr' and so on but I can't see them from Finder just using the command prompt. How can I do?
    Thanks in advance.
    LS

    Open the AppleScript Editor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and run the following:
    tell app "Finder" to quit
    do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1"
    delay 2
    tell app "Finder" to run
    This script will not allow you to access anything which is set not to be readable by your user account. The /dev/ folder on the startup disk is hardcoded to be hidden to the GUI and cannot be revealed in the Finder by this or any other method. To turn it off, replace the 1 with a 0.

  • How can i see the content of the cache server 2 ?

    How can i see the content of the cache server 2 ?

    Caching server is backed by an sqlite database.  If you want to see what you currently have downloaded, you can glean some information by accessing the database.  Use this command to connect to the database:
    sudo sqlite3 /Library/Server/Caching/Data/AssetInfo.db
    Once connected, you can use .tables to see the tables in the database but the one with the most information appears to be ZASSET.  Use:
       select * from ZASSET;
    To list the current contents.  You will get a series of records similar to the following:
    26|1|5|0|868991341|402440412.42114|402507221.969799|ffaf18a45cd5dd5e853233629036 5767|30B9108D-ABE4-4061-A2E0-42E91301249B|Fri, 06 Sep 2013 18:21:34 GMT|/content/downloads/14/11/091-9722/ognnjd4fno85m4pbapjtnv23b7rf1mkufx/OSXUpd Combo10.8.5.pkg|
    Note that the final value is a human recognizable name of the package.  However, you may also see items like this:
    125|1|4|0|11622676|406739736.508118|406739736.508125|4f1f9b08b32f9f6211e4569604b 1efef|481BF3D9-99BB-415F-ADB6-860EDD24B08E|Thu, 14 Nov 2013 10:24:30 GMT|/us/r1000/032/Purple6/v4/37/a3/d2/37a3d2f7-2594-8224-7eda-712f17a3fd8b/mzps 6227198657217312566.D2.pd.ipa|
    This is an iOS application.  There is no real way that I know of yet to match the package name (mzps6227198657217312566.D2.pd.ipa) to a product name.
    When finished, type .quit

  • How can i see the Asset purchase order & GR after settlement

    Hello Gurus,
    Would you please tell me how can i check the Asset Purchase order, which is settled (WBS Element)? How can i see the GR document for the specific asset? & if i treat as a expeneses toward the project where i get the GR/ PO in asset explorer?
    Warm Regards,
    Dhananjay Rahane.

    Dear,
    Dhanajay.
    Purchase order related to asset you can see in Asset Master itself. Go to AS03 - Environment  ( Menu bar ) - Click on Purchase Order. Here you will have all the relevant PO's relating to asset.
    GR you can see in PO at a Purchase Order history. The data relating to asset you can  see in left hand side navigation in AW01N Asset Explorer. Like as Vendor, PO's, etc.
    WBS in PO you can see in Account Assignment Tab if your PO is created with N. ( Network PO ). WBS linked to Network you can see in CJ20N ( Project Builder ). 
    WBS Actual values can see in report CJI3 Actual Cost & Revenues.
    I hope this helps you to solve your issue. If you have any doubts feel free to share.
    Regards,
    Pankaj A Bhalerao.

  • How can I see Airport is used?

    I have a cable ethernet connection and a wireless Airport connection for internet. How can I see which connection Safari is using?

    Your iMac will attempt to make a network connection based on the order of network connectors listed in System Preferences > Network.
    For example, if AirPort is listed at the top, and Ethernet second, your iMac will create a connection by wireless. If that fails, it would try Ethernet next. It will NOT use both connections simultaneously to increase the connections' overall bandwidth.

  • How can I see DL Speed ?

    i have seen some pics of DL speed showing in tool bar or status bar.
    How can i see the speed to compare 5ghz and 2.4ghz?

    54 is 802.11g network speed, so you are into 802.11n territory.
    115-130 is good for 802.11n at 2.4 GHz
    If you move your laptop away from your base station, the Transmit Rate will drop. If you get down near 50-60 where you normally use the laptop, the addition of an AirPort Express to "extend the wireless network" will bring that speed back up to the 115-130 range at that position.
    If you are using 802.11n only at 5 GHz, you should be in the 220-270 range.
