INVISIBLE FOLDERS (BUT NOT ALL) VISIBLE AFTER INSTALL

I know there were previous threads but nothing does anything for me. Also i have some other details.
I WOULD LIKE TO ADD:
I used this same install disk to install several computers including this laptop WITHOUT any problems. The same install disk 2 days later is installing over and over with the folders visible, and not all the other hidden items. l have not really checked the filesystem to see if its all folders or not.
My concerns:
Is there a chance this is security related and i have some kind of "swapped" install disk that could have any form of malware built into it? It is troubling to me that the same disk is producing different results days apart. I also don't like the apparently rare nature of this problem nor that it is not fixable using any methods i have found so far. Honestly, I don't want to fix it. I want it not to happen on install or I am going to have questions about its origins, since I have had no problems prior to this.
Can the installation of Linux (specifically Suse) do something that a Disk Utility wipe would not get rid of such as some kind of open firmware setting (seems impossible to me) or similar vein?
Any help would be appreciated. The fact that it now appears i cannot install without this happening after 75 installs of it not happening is bothering me.

Is this a Family Pack DVD?

Where did you get the install DVD from? Is it an official Apple Leopard DVD?

    Palm TX will sync but not transfer data after installing 64bit drivers for Windows 7 using the USB cable. Does anyone have any advise?
    Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

    @MikeNTxs - 64bit USB drivers have been available since April of 2010, and they do work. I've synced successfully to my Vista64 bit laptop many times via USB.

    No,
    the MacPro is the muscle machine and not constrained by power or cooling limitations like the MacBoo Pro is.
    OR AT LEAST BE MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR REALLY HEAVY STUFF?
    If you press the MacBook Pro like a desktop machine, it will blow fans like a hurricane but will do the job eventually.
    The longer you blow fans on a laptop, the sooner it clogs up with crippling dust and shortens the life of the machine.
    You'll need the top end 15" or better, not the 13" as it has no dedicated graphics, only CPU graphics.
    Preferably if you just now getting into video, you should be considering Avid on a Windows 7 tower, it's because Apple has been ignoring the MacPro for hardware updates to improve it and it seems like they don't want to carry it anymore. Also the last Final Cut Pro version had Hollywood up in arms as Apple removed a lot of required abilities to make it more "consumer friendly" which upset the Pro market who likes control.
    Apple is focusing on the consumer computing market and getting away from the "Pro" market which needs the heavier hardware to handle video needs. They stopped selling the X-RAID and the X-Server, so Apple really isn't a "computer" company any longer.
    Sure you can use a MacBook Pro and a external monitor for doing home movies and such occasionally, but if your into serious production you need to consdier other options now.
    There is nothing wrong in getting a MacBook Air and a Windows 7 professional video tower too.

  • I have an internal website that requires a password but not will load after installing v37.0.1

    I have attempted all the fixes suggested and nothing works. I don't even get an error. I am just asked to enter my password again, and again, and again.

    Does your internal site use an older version of ssl or a self signed certificate?
    In the meantime you may need to force Firefox to fallback to TLS 1.0 or otherwise force TLS 1.0 (i.e. set the maximum to 1.0)
    In order to change your Firefox Configuration please do the following steps :
    # In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
    # Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''' to continue to the about:config page.
    # Change '''security.tls.version.fallback-limit '''= 1

  • Some, but not all, podcasts existing on the iPod no longer appear in iTunes. Different podcasts have been affected at different times, after changes in the state of the iPod. Only podcasts are affected.

    I have not seen this precise issue addressed anywhere. I don’t know if it’s an iTunes or an iPod problem:
    - Some, but not all, podcasts existing on the iPod no longer appear in iTunes;
      this, after normal behavior for more than a year since purchase of the iPod.
    - Different podcasts have been affected at different times, after changes in the state of the iPod.
    - Only podcasts are affected.
    - This concerns an iPod nano 6th gen. and iTunes 11.0.2 (26) on System 10.6.8
    - The only change to iTunes, the Mac, or the iPod is that just before this condition began
      I’d begun syncing an iPhone via iTunes.
    I sync manually (“manually manage music and videos”). The first time this happened, I wanted to delete seventeen podcast episodes (all belonging to one podcast) existing on the iPod — but they didn’t show up in iTunes. I tried re-downloading them and re-syncing, to see if the new versions would somehow “re-link” to iTunes. They didn’t. Only one — new — episode appeared in iTunes.
    I ultimately reset the iPod and manually resynced all the podcasts I currently had on iTunes. That worked, though I had to painstakingly add in all the other content deleted by the reset.
    So: after that reset and manual sync, all podcasts and episodes on the iPod were visible to iTunes and I was able to delete the podcast and its — now 18 — episodes I’d wanted to get rid of to begin with. But the next time I connected the iPod, only 8 podcast episodes out of 21 episodes total existing on the iPod were visible to iTunes. These are different podcasts; I’d deleted the original “invisible” ones.
    By “visible,” I mean in the “Podcasts” list view under “[name]’s iPod” in the iTunes sidebar. If I select “[name]’s” iPod in the iTunes sidebar and the “Podcasts” tab, all podcasts and episodes are visible, though greyed out because I’m set to sync manually. It’s unclear to me if these are the podcasts on the iPod or those currently in iTunes, as they are currently the same. If I switch to syncing automatically, all content on the iPod will be lost again, so I’m not up to trying it at the moment.
    As I said,  this involves only podcasts. All other content on the iPod does appear in iTunes.

    I have the same problem- i see my movies in the ipod section in itunes and they even show as mpeg4 in the 'kind' section but they dont have that small TV icon next to them. if i play these in itunes, they play fine- but try playing them on the ipod and all you hear is the sound and no picture. All videos that i manually transfer work fine in the beginning- its when i hook up the ipod to the comp again and start itunes- they start showing up without the 'tv' icon!! i have to again transfer them from the itunes library to activate them as videos.
    Need Help!!!

  • After reinstall not all apps are installed

    Hi!
    I've had the problem that my iPhone 3G freezed and the restart only shows the apple logo. So I started it in recovery mode, reinstalled iPhone, activated it and my computer and synced one time. All contacts, calenders and all settings were restored - wonderful!!!
    But not all apps have been installed. But why? All apps are lying in the directory where the others are lying which were installed. After another sync nothing more happened. Then I double clicked an app-file directly and then it showed up in iTunes under Programs. After another sync some programs are installed on iPhone but not all.
    So is this normal? How could I install all my apps?
    Is it possible to download apps which I didn't synchronized before restore, because iTunes says there are no downloads available.
    Thanks for help in advance!!
    Greetings
    Udo

    As far as I know you shouldn't have ANY TROUBLES with the NATIVE APPS...you know like Safari, Calendar, Photos...etc. However, the apps that you download from the app store, I believe, need to be re-installed manually. This is what I have to do with my original iPhone with 2.0 software anyway. I would think that it is the same with the 3G.

  • Some, but not all, albums not displayed after Yosemite/iPhoto 9.6 upgrade

    After upgrading to Yosemite and iPhoto 9.6, photos from  some, but not all, albums are missing. All albums from the previous version are listed in the Library, but 12 of 15 are showing "(0)" with no contents.
    Is recovery possible?
    iMac 21.5in (late 2009), OS X 10.10.2
    3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    4 GB Ram
    OS X 10.10.2
    iPhoto 9.6 (910.29)

    Your best solution is to restore a backup copy of the library made just prior to the Yosemite and iPhoto upgrades.
    Otherwise try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
    2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

  • Printer just started feeding a blank page after some, but not all printed documents

    Printer just started feeding a blank page after some, but not all printed documents

    Hi @cam21 ,
    I understand that you are having issues printing, after some documents you are getting blank pages. I would be happy to help you.
    I would do a hard reset to see if that will resolve the issue.
    Leave the printer on and unplug the power cable from the printer and wall outlet for 60 seconds.
    Then reconnect the power cable to the printer and wall outlet rather than a surge protector.
    This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
    What application are you printing from?
    It may be a setting in the application.
    Does this happen from all applications?
    Download and run the Print and Scan Doctor. It will diagnose the issue and might automatically resolve it. http://www.hp.com/go/tools>Using HP Diagnostic Tools for HP Printers in Windows.
    How is the printer connected? (USB/Ethernet/Wireless)
    What were the results when you ran the Print and Scan Doctor? (did it print or scan, any error messages)
    If there is anything else I can help you with, just let me know.
    Have a nice day!

  • I updated my iPod Touch to 6.0.1. after much prompting. Now my music is gone! (along with apps, photos and podcasts). After syncing a bunch of times some of it came back, but not all of it. How odd is that? How can I get my music back on it??

    I updated my iPod Touch to 6.0.1. -- after much prompting from iTunes. Now my music is GONE (along with apps, photos and podcasts). After syncing a bunch of times some of it came back, but not all of it. How odd is that? How can I get my music back?? I'm really bummed! Everything shows in iTunes, but it's not synching right. So glad I updated. NOT.

    Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
    When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
    Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
    It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup.

  • TS1424 Some but not all of my purchases from iTunes store (TV shows) have been downloading in a Quicktime format that can't be viewed via iTunes or on apple TV (1st gen).  I get error message when I try to convert.

    Since I have a new iMac and now use Mountain Lion, I am observing that TV shows purchased in iTunes sometimes download in a Quicktime format that will not open in iTunes.  In some but not all cases, I right click "open in" and select iTunes and then it will play.  However, this doesn't always work.  When I open in Quicktime and try to export to iTunes, that won't work.  When I try Wundershare's Video conversation program, it won't even accept the file.  What's going on here?  Any ideas?  Please reply [email protected] with any suggestions.

    Thanks for the help Ricky.
    I did put my iPod into DFU and iTunes recognized it in restore mode. After restore I am back where I was before - iTunes cannot connect because of an unknown error.
    I have installed Jailbreak to see if I can bypass itunes but haven't succeeded. I can't get my computer to recopgnize the iPod as a device.
    I'll take it to a Genius bar next time I am in the area of one. Until then I'll probably continue to try hacks to get it connected.
