I can't see the files on my USB disk

I know there are about 250 million threads about airport USB disk problems, but I can't see one with my specific drama.
I can connect, see the drive (its a LaCie 250GB) and move stuff to it via the airport. The problem is that I cant see the files once they are on the LaCie. The finder window will start to show each folder but after about 1 second all the folders dissapear and the finder says "0 items, 91.38 GB available".
Obviously the computer is reading the drive as it knows how much space is on there, and it can write to the drive - it just wont display the folders. If I connect using a USB cable then all is well, so its just the ***** airport!
Someone please help, I'm going mad!

The disk sharing utility creates separate folders which are not visible when connected to the AEBS, but are when directly connected via USB to your computer:
"Shared" > for all mainly shared files and folders
"[Username]" > for all user related files and folders when you use account to access your disks through the AEBS via Airport.
So if you first connect your disk directly to your PC, make sure you copy your files to the "Shared" directory (and not directly in the root), and if you did not connect the disk to the AEBS before, or the "Shared" directory does not exist, make this folder yourself.
Goodluck!

Cannot see what files ? Music (synced music should appear in the iPod app), films/TV shows (Videos app), documents ... ?

My file names have disappeared in grid view. Thery have been replaced with a dark bar along the bottom of the previews. If I toggle using the command u it hide the bar but I still can't see the file name. In list view all the file names are OK.

The dark bar is caused by the option "Show metadata below image".
Check the settings for the metadata overlays in Grid view (basic and expanded) by clicking the little "badge" icon below the Browser and selecting "Edit". Is the filename still enabled in the list? And in a high enough position to have precedence for other metadata tags, if the space does not suffice to show all selected tags?

HT1145 I can't see my files on my USB shared drive. It shows there is lots of space taken up, but I can't access the files via my Mac.

I can't see my files on my USB shared drive. It shows there is lots of space taken up, but I can't access the files via my Mac. How do I see them? I also can't see them on my iPad using FileBrowser.

You don't have access to it to configure it via Time Machine? You lost me on that one, Time Machine is used for Backup.
Here is a basic article on the first setup and what you should see:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1178
To configure Time Capsule you should be using "Airport Utility" 5.3 or higher that is located in the Utilities folder. You can tell if its version 5.3 because the icon will have blue lines instead of orange lines like the older versions. Since you are running Leopard 10.5.6 and you ran Software Update you are probably already running the latest 5.3 version.
The light flashing amber means you haven't entered enough information so that it can get to the internet. Once you have that info entered the light will turn green.
If your absolutely sure your CAT5 cables are good you can try a hard reset. I think you have to push the reset button on the back and hold it for 5 seconds or so until the amber light blinks rapidly, then when you release the button it does the reset then.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1300?locale=en_US
Hope this helps! If not I would probably call AppleCare support or see if you can exchange it.

Was the entire folder copied including the iTunesLibrary.itl file?

External table, can't see the file

Hi
--This is what I do
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY data_dir AS 'C:\TEMP\'
GRANT READ, WRITE ON DIRECTORY data_dir TO my_user;
--I have my actual GAS.TXT file in the folder, the file looks like this
0003450305NG-5E6, TUSCANY VILLAS,26 FENTON STREET ROTORUA 3201, ROTORUA
002343043NG-9DE, LORALIS LIMITED,18 HARINGTON STREET TAURANGA 3001, TAURANGA
...etc...
--I do a select
SELECT * FROM all_directories
--and it shows
SYS DATA_DIR C:\TEMP\
--Then I create my ext table like this
CREATE TABLE external_table(
ICP CHAR(10) ,
NAME CHAR(20),
ADDRESS CHAR(30),
CITY CHAR(20)
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
( TYPE oracle_loader
DEFAULT DIRECTORY DATA_DIR
ACCESS parameters
(RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' AND '"'
(ICP CHAR(40),
NAME CHAR(100),
ADDRESS CHAR(100),
CITY CHAR(100)
location (DATA_DIR:'GAS.TXT')
--The table is created
--then when I try and do a select I end up with an error message
SELECT * FROM EXTERNAL_TABLE
ORA-29913 blah, blah
ORA-29400 blah blah
KUP-04040 file can't be found
ORA-06512 SYS.ORACL_LOADER
ORA-06512 blah blah
So, I reckon of some reason it can't see the file, but I do not know why?
The file sits on the Server in the C:\TEMP folder and the error log ends up in the C:\TEMP folder
I have tried several variations on this, but still same error. However, then I also tried these exact same scripts on another Oracle box, and it worked fine. So something with the machine/box I am using is not alright.
Would appreciate your thoguhts.
Thanks
Kari

As suggested, change your table definition to match the available data, and post an example like below with complete error message (not the edited version that is hard to understand).

HT1461 For Boot Camp, if you save a file when you are on the Windows side, when you return to the Mac side, can you see the file or can it only be "seen" on the operating side you create it in?

For Boot Camp, if you save a file when you are on the Windows side, when you return to the Mac side, can you see the file or can it only be "seen" on the operating side you create it in?

Why don't you (generic most every post lacks critical details) be clear and say you never used Mac OS etc.
But, I did try to anticipate and give you what you needed.
Excel is one of those rare programs that, if they are extremely large complex spreadsheets still tend to run better under Office for Windows.
A VM won't do for that but it does make it easier to transition. As in: install Windows natively, then use VMware Fusion or Parallels to attach to the partition and OS. That way you can run Windows as Guest OS VM under Mac; and still run Windows natively dual-boot when needed.
The word "see" was not what you wanted, was it? really? you want to open and make changes and keep it on Windows side rather than Save As or copy to Mac
You use Windows and don't know it has NTFS (NT FileSystem)?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTFS
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hierarchical_File_System (HFS) native file system used by Apple
And there is much more UEFI style "bios" and other things I suppose.
Great thing about Google and encyclopedias or dictionary, you can look up what you don't know.

Updated to Mavericks and I get the upper left quarter of the screen blacked out on Time Machine. This means that I can't see the files. Any suggestions for getting rid of the black square?

Ive tried disconnecting and reconnecting the Time Machine. And I've tried rebooting the iMac, but I still get the top left hand quarted of the screeen blacked out. I can scroll back through the back-ups but the back square means that I can't see the details of any file.

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, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in 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, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

How can I see the file name of photographs in Lightroom mobile?

I have photographs of product wich have there reference number as the file name. When synchronizing to my iphone/ipad I don't see the file name of the photographs any more. Is there a way to show them on my mobile devices?

Two fingers cycles through the histogram + exif info views. One finger toggles between filling the screen or revealing the filename and adjustment controls.

Can't copy large files to an USB Disk pugged in an USB hub

When I tried to copy large files to my USB disk pugged in an USB hub, it stopped at 220 Kb... When I plug the disk to the internal back USB port it works fine ¿Any idea?
Thanks

Hi, cguzman -
Related to what Templeton suggested, if your USB hub does not have external power (self-power), try replacing it with one that does.
If your hub is self-powered, many of those have a small selector switch on the side or rear which allow the choice of self- or bus-power. If yours has such a switch, make sure it is not set to 'bus'.

I can`t see the files jpg of my mail in my iPad 3 ?

when i read my mesages in my mail the files atached(pictures) in jpg ,not is posible to see

Check to see if you have a photo selected in the filmstrip or you may have the filter set to "Flagged Photos" and none of the photos selected are flagged.
(I can not tell as that info is cut off from the bottom of your screen capture.)

Where can I see the file sizes of the Creative Cloud downloads?

I don't have unlimited internet bandwidth, so I need to carefully monitor how much I'm downloading. I can't seem to find the file sizes for any of the Creative Cloud files-?

You can also monitor your downloads usage and just install the apps you need and/or stretch the installation over months. I know I had no need to install every application in the suite.
You can also call customer service and see if there is a separate application download for the entire suite. If you go to someone or someplace with no restriction on the download you could download it to a usb drive. Many libraries offer a free internet connection. Or perhaps ask if their is a DVD installation disk available for people with limited internet service.

HT204384 why does my 16gb SDHC card reads as full, but I can't see the files

I have a SanDisk 30mb/s 16GB SDHC card used with a GoPro HD Hero. When I plug it into my card reader, it DOES show up on my desktop. When I double-click on it, I see the folders, but no files. I know the card is full, and it shows up as full when I press "command i".
How can I get these files?!?

I just wasn't sure I should put down the actual IP address.
You made the right choice, and is what I guessed was the case. But I've learned to confirm my assumptions; I've been surprised before.
Anyway, hope you get somewhere with your IT folks. If you approach them from the standpoint that you can't ping the server and avoid, at least initially, the "can't mount the server volume" issue, you may have better luck with them. If you can get them to help you to the point where you get a ping through successfully, you may find the other problems go away.
One note: it is possible that they've blocked the ability to ping their network devices, so the failure of the ping isn't completely diagnostic. But it's certainly a symptom to bring up with them; if they are blocking ping, they should tell you that.
Good luck.

Hi
I have a new ipad which i would like to be able to see stored files etc across my home network.
is this possible with the new airport extreme with the integrated hard drive?
thanks

You might want to check out FileBrowser for the iPad.
