Leopard can't see files/folders in .dmg Tiger backup

Okay, I have two macs, an old upgraded Cube and my MacBook Pro. I used CCC to create disk images of both and put them on an external firewire drive.
Both disk images mounted just fine, so I went ahead with my Leopard install (did a clean install) on my MacBook Pro.
Now I want to get my files Apps and such off my .dmg. I plug the Firewire drive into my MacBook Pro and open the .dmg. The only folders showing up in there are dev, Developer, Library, sw, System, Updaters and Users. GAH! Where's my Applications folder among several other missing ones?! I thought CCC didn't back it up after all.
So I plugged the Firewire drive into my Cube and opened the .dmg there and ALL the folders and files show up in the Finder on the Cube still running Tiger. Okay, I CAN manually copy over all the files by mounting my MacBook Pro hard drive on the Cube and telling the Cube what to move over. But this is really slow.
One more thing, I just went into the volume in terminal on the Leopard machine, and ls'ed the dir and it shows all the files/folders in there. However, all the folders that aren't displaying in the finder show the permissions with an @ symbol after them, the ones that show up don't have that.
drwxrwxr-x@ is in front of the missing Applications folder.
drwxrwxr-t is in front of the Users folder that does show up.
Anyone got any idea why Leopard isn't seeing these files and how I might be able to fix this?
Another update to this mystery. When I mount the .dmg on my Tiger machine and look at the file perms in terminal, that @ isn't there.
One more thing. My husband ran CCC on his MacBook Pro to a different firewire drive, and he did not have this problem. We ran it the same way, made .dmg files of our Macintosh HD's. But his Leopard is showing him all his .dmg files when he opens it. He also did the same clean install. Weird huh?

Can't see files/folders on server from windows

i'm not sure if this is related to the ACL issue (not being properly honored in Samba on Leopard), but i'll explain my problem and hopefully someone can point me in the right direction
i've set up file sharing with my server on several Macs and a couple of PCs without a problem, but on one PC, when i connect to the server, i can't see any folders at all on the server in the Explorer window. i also can't move files to the server as it tells me i don't have permissions. i am certain this is set up the same as the other PCs and ensured that the Windows user has file sharing enabled on my server.
please note that i'm fairly new to setting up a server so not too much jargon please!
cheers

The problem may be how the CD was formatted. Macs support ISO-9660 better than any other crossplatform format.
Recently Software Architects has improved UDF support on the Mac, though I have yet to test it to see how true their claim is:

Can't add Files/folders to .DMG

Help please. I created a Disk Image using DIsk Utility and set a password. However it won't accept files or folders when I drag and drop onto it. The DMG is big enough for the files I want to put in it - these are primarily video files. The DMG also Verifies OK when checked with Disk Utility.
When I try to open the DMG, I get a dialog box and type in the password, but nothing further appears to happen after the dialog box disappears.
What is the trick to actually putting files inside my Disk Image?

Thank you very much. The problem was, because I have System Preferences set up not to show hard drives and volumes on the desktop, the mounted volume wasn't appearing there, even 'though I could see it was mounted in Disk Utility.
Prompted by your answer, I found the volume in my Finder and was able to drag and drop contents to it there. Ta-da!

Replying to my own post - heh. I downloaded iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/) which allowed me access to the files on the phone and there was the phantom movie in the DCIM folder. Deleted it, and all is well - although I still have 0.65gb of Other in iTunes.....

Can't see certain folders

I'm a new admin running Server 2008R2 on Cisco hardware. A user created a subfolder and wanted special permissions for that folder. I accessed the Server Desktop, went to "computer" to look for that folder and noticed that I can't locate it.
There are several folders that I can see if I'm looking on the file server itself (I access via a VPN) but I can't see these folders in such a way that I can set permissions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You need to contact your user to provide you that path where he created the folders. You can also use them using Windows Explorer: Of course, results might take long time to be shown if indexation is disabled.

Can't copy files from mounted DMG. What's up??

So all of a sudden, I can't copy files from mounted DMG files. It's strange because if there is one file and I drag it to another location, like desktop, it won't copy. If I drag 2 files from the mounted DMG to the desktop one of them copies. If I drag 3, then 2 copy... it's always all but one of the files... never all of them.
I've tried repairing permissions but nothing works. I'm at a loss...
thanks

Try holding option when you drag the files. This tells the mac to move the files to the desktop of your computer not the desktop folder of the DMG (usually a hidden folder)
If that doesn't work it may be that you need administrative privileges to move the files. Make sure you are logged on as as an administrator by selecting the account tab in system preferences and making sure it says "admin" under your user name. Log on to or create an administration account then try moving the file.
Hope this helps, let me know

You might want to make sure your credit card is listed in the billing information associated with your Apple ID (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1918).
Also, to change the From name that appears when you address emails on and iOS device, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your iCloud email account, tap you iCloud account at the top, tap Mail at the bottom, then enter the name you want to use in the Name field at the top.
To change the From name on your Mac Mail, go to icloud.com, sign into your account, open Mail, click the gear shaped icon on the bottom left and choose Preferences, go to the Accounts tab and enter the name you want to use in the Full Name field and click Done. Then quit Mail on your Mac and re-open it. Your new From name should now appear in the drop-down list when you compose a new email.

Can't see files that are backedup

I have a G4 iMac that has both an internal (small) and external (large) drive that I use for data. I am using a time capsule to backup the whole system.
When I run Time Machine it appears to backup both disks, the log file shows both drives having many GBs of data being transferred without any errors.
However, when I go into the TM application, I can only see files that are on the internal drive. I can only see my external 'LaCie HFS' in the Now view, going back in time that drive is greyed out.
If I use the finder when the TC is mounted, I can traverse into 'Backup.backupdb/iMac/2009-08-074700' and I can see the 'LaCie HFS' folder and in it are all my backed up files.
I have looked through the FAQ and various postings but cannot find an answer.
The closest thing that I can see as being a potential problem is that my old internal drive uses an Apple Partition Map while my new external drive uses a GUID Partition Table.
Why would backupd created backups that Time Machine cannot see?

Hi, and welcome to the forums.
Try this: Open a Finder window and press ShiftCmdC (or select your computer name in the Finder Sidebar).
Then +Enter Time Machine.+
On the first Finder window in the "cascade," labelled Now, you'll see all the volumes currently attached to your Mac.
Select the Finder window for any backup, and you'll see a folder for each drive/volume that was backed-up, including any that are no longer connected. Navigate from there to whatever you're looking for.

Can't see my folders on icloud

Can't see my folders in the mailbox on icloud. How to handle?

Did you try creating a new mailbox on your mac's mail application and choosing iCloud as its location in the New Mailbox window, you can create a new mailbox using the '+' icon in the bottom LH corner of the mail window.

They can provided you remove them from the Exclude list. Normally, Time Machine does not automatically backup external drives.

Can I retrieve files from a modern Mac Backup drive to a PPC Mac?

Can I retrieve files from a modern Mac Backup drive to a PPC Mac? I have been having problems with my Macbook Pro not starting up. I need to figure out how to access files with my PPC Desktop; if possible.
What type of files can I access and what type I cannot?
My Macbook Pro: MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3), 750GB HD, 2.2 GHz, 6 GB RAM
My PPC: Power mac G4/Upgraded 1.2GHZ /800+RAM/3 HD =400+ GB, Mac OS X (10.4.2)
Thanks in advance,
God bless

You will need software that is compatible with the data files on the backup drive, ie. if they are .doc files you will need Word (or a substitute).
You don't mention what type of files are on the drive so it is hard to be specific.

Can't see files in document / downloads folder on dmg disk image

So my last update OSX 10.6.8 crapped out and i couldnt boot the system anymore... So i decided to install a new system, before i did that i backed up my whole HDD with disk utility into a compressed DMG file. I went ahead and installed OSX 10.7 new mounted the DMG file, problem is i can't see any files in my document or in my downloads folder anyone has a solution for this or know what causes this problem. Please let me know.

A warm welcome to the forums Sue!
The Finder is a bit lackadaisical about updating itself, you can click back & forth enough times, closing folders, opening folders and eventually it'll be in touch, or you can try something like "A Better Finder Attributes", for it's "force the Finder to update stale information about your files" feature.

Cifs - need to connect to share server (can see folders but can't see files)

This is driving me nuts...
CASE ONE:
before the upgrade, i could view folders and files on the shareserver (at a company). but after the upgrade, things went downhill...
we can no longer use "smb://ServerName" so we are forced to use "cifs://ServerName". Fine, fine. but i can only see folders...not files.
ive looked everywhere on the internets for a solution but find nerdy, tech lingo. I found only one that had the solution, but they simply said "nevermind, i found the solution...".. jesh,,, at least leave a solution for us....
does someone have a work-around or a solution to this bug?
CASE TWO:
Dealing with Outlook 2011 and sharing caledars using the Exchange, i can see my co-workers email and statuses...but i can no longer see their schedules/availability.
does anyone have a solution to this???
Rule #1: do not say "its an Outlook issue" cause they already told me to ask you.
Rule #2: do not say "you are posting in the wrong place". just help, for Pete's sake...
Rule#3: do not say "$**%()*$ and preliminary connection hub 5583HHFer, BS...." we dont need nerdy lingo...we need help...
others including myself would very much appreciate your help in the above 2 matters.
Kindly,

Can't see files in folders

I have one user who cannot see any files in folders on Sharepoint. She can see the folders themselves, and any file not in a folder, but gets a 'page cannot be displayed' when she clicks on any folder.
We have granted her full access but still the problem presists. No other users have this problem.
Any thoughts?

Hi Gordi,
If the user tries to click the folder from other computer, can he see the file in the folder?
The Limited Access permission level is designed to be combined with fine-grained permissions to give users access to a specific list, document library, item, or document, without giving them access to the entire site. For example, if you grant user access to an item in a list and they do not have access to the list itself, you will see “limited access”.
As we don’t know the permission configuration on your entire site, I would suggest you remove the user from the whole site collection and re-add her again to see if it will work.
Hope this helps.

CAN'T SEE SHARED FOLDERS FROM THE PC ON MY MAC SINCE SNOW LEOPARD UPGRADE

HELP! Ever since I've installed Snow Leopard on my iMac, I don't see my folders I selected for sharing from the Microsoft PC computer in my network anymore. I can't seem to locate anything. However the PC is able to see the folders from my iMac. If anyone has solutions to this problem, your help would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks!
Pat

Your problem is probably the same one I described in my thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2133962&tstart=0
The problem in my case, seems to be that the SL mac is not setting itself as the master browser, so when a Windows PC is switched on, it doesn't update that computer in the finder sidebar.
You can see if this is the case, by opening terminal, and typing:
nmblookup -M -- -
If it comes back with "name_query failed to find name _MSBROWSE_#01" then you've got the same problem as me. With Leopard, my mac would report back as the master browser.
It's got nothing to do with the firewall (I've tried turning mine off ,to no avail). Also, my workgroup is correct, and smb sharing is turned on for the user.
