Mac OS 10.9.2 Finder isn't showing all files

Need help. Recently my finder stopped showing all the files in a folder. I know this because I can navigate to the folder via terminal and I see different files. I'm trying to figure out why this is happening. Also for a little more detail. I'm using vagrant virtual box to ssh into a linux environment. The folder that I'm having trouble with is a folder being create via Rake, which I'm using as a build tool. Anyone have any troubles like this? How can this be fixed?

When I click "place signature" I only have one option.
It asks me "How would you like to create your signature?
The only option available to me is "use a certificate- When I attempt to use another option there are some but they are not available to me."use an image" draw my signature, or type my signature
are not available.
For that reason I went to preferences to see what I could do to change the settings- and all I could do was manage the certificate signature- so that it looks better than it did.
As an aside- after doing that- the document went on and the person couldn't sign because it had an "open password" If you also know about that- that would be great.
This is the only reason I purchased the Adobe XI so I could draw my signature or type it and have it appear as a signature.

  • Finder dose not show all files

    finder dose not show all files and is not open.
    nothing is shown on the desktop.
    how is it fixed?

    Could be disk corruption or bad perference file (s).
    You may want to run these "standard" fixes if the problem persists.
    1) Check the amount of free space on your harddrive.  You should have a several gigs free.
    2) You should run disk utility
         Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility
         a) verify the disk
         b) update your permissions.
    3) Try a safe boot.
        Shutdown your machine.  Hold down the shift key.  Poweron.  Wait awhile Wait awhile while you harddrive
          is being checked.

  • Finder doesn't show all files

    When I add new photos to iPhoto, they do not appear as a file or item in Finder Documents list. I thought Finder was supposed to show all files and items that you create?

    santra, use EasyFind or Find File instead. BY default, Apple's own Finder/spotlight doesn't search everywhere and doesn't find everything (Mac fanboys will tell you this is a feature and is so intelligent that some people can't understand how smart it is; I prefer to think of it as a defect).

    I hope this helps you to find all your stuff.

  • Finder does not show all files from NAS

    Hi there
    I have a NAS attached to my mini where music, ... is stored. I can access it from both the mac as well as a PC.
    for some reason the mac finder does not display all the files in the directory even though the files are there (i can see and open them when accessing the NAS through the PC). at the moment I only see this happen in a folder that contains video (mpg) files and some event must have triggered this strange behaviour because I could play the file sometime ago without problem.
    also, some of the files are shown as a folder than a file in the finder. E.g. a clip called last_holiday.mpg would show as a folder (when you open it it is empty) rather than a video file.
    I have tried to re-mount the share, but this has no effect.
    Is this a bug or is there some wrong setting?
    thanks for any help,
    Chris

    I have this same problem with mounted DAV server folders. I can see the files via Windows and other DAV clients -- just not via Finder. Moreover, it does not apply to all files: some of them do show up. And, it does not happen all of the time: just occasionally.

  • Finder search not showing all files

    I'm using Finder to search for files on a server connected to my computer at work. The search results I am getting do not include all the files that meet my search criteria. For example, I am looking through photo files for any files with "34" in the name. Some files show up, but not all of them. See screenshot. I am searching in the "Branded Photoshoot" folder, and I am getting some results (Branded Photoshoot/Hilton Universal/IMG_1434), but another file that is in folder, though a different subfolder, (Branded Photoshoot/Architectural Center/IMG_1534) is NOT showing up. What is causing that subfolder and its files to not be included in the search results?

    You're searching for "1434" (not just 34) and getting only files with 1434 in it:

  • Finder does not show all colors from selected color Labels

    Since a view days finder does not show all Color Label colors. When I select either yellow or green it is selected, but it does not show in the file list with details, I can see it in icon and 3 pane view, but not in the detail list view.
    does anybody know why or how? Or what plist files I might need to delete to get this reset?

    Create a new account, name it "test" and see how your labels work in that User acct in list view? (That will tell if your problem is systemwide or limited to your User acct.) This account is just for test, do nothing further with it.
    Open System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" make it an admin account.
    Let us know and we'll troubleshoot this further.

  • Finder is not showing correct file in cover flow mode. The files shown in the top panel are one file off.

    finder is not showing correct file in cover flow mode. The files shown in the top panel are one file off.

    This problem occurs after I move a file or files to trash. If I remove one file, then the sequence is one file off, if I move two files to trash then the sequence istwo file off. For example, if I delete file 1 and highlight (click on) file 3, then the cover flow panel shows file 2, when it should show file 3.

    Here you can see a shot of my /var/lib/pacman/local directory, containing just a few directories related to the packages above.
    I have a lot more installed in my system, eg. the holl KDE system.
    Is there a command/workaround to make these missing packages appear again in pacman?!
    Thanks in advance.

    I think your signature is either too sarcastic, or too much in contrast with what you are posting here. A damaged database is really no big deal, and the only things that the proposed solutions attempt to do is that pacman re-installs a package (which changes close to nothing in your actual installation) and then write that update to its database.
    I do not agree with your statement that the probability of a required reinstall are high. Actually, I would say they are pretty low
    There is nothing sarcastic about my sig. Indeed, what would be the fun of using a system, which never breaks?
    Regarding the probability of a reinstall either my opinion, or yours is irrelevant for the topic of this discussion.

  • How Can I Find a Listing of ALL Files in a Particular Logic Pro 7.2 Song?

    Hello,
    Is there a quick and easy way to find a listing of all files that belong to a particular Logic Pro 7.2 song? I am trying to clean up my Logic folder that has no hierarchical order with files in their respective song folder. Just a littering of files that belong to various songs.
    Thanks

    Consolidate files of selected songs while using copy on all should do it all for you, but create a lot of redundant data if your sessions share many files. It's safer though.

  • My finder is not showing all my files

    i recently purchased my macbook pro right before christmas and have been downloading alot of stuff on to it. When i open finder it only shows 4 files though. even when i search nothing comes up. it acts like the files arnt there at all and this is becomming a prolem. this is my first time using apple so it could be a stupid mistake but all help is appreciated!   thanks!

    Alright that's much better! Right, now what you are using is All My Files which in my opinion is the most ridiculous thing Apple has done in OS X for a while. It is very confusing and I dont use it. What you should do is go to Finder Menu > Preferences and uncheck All My Files in the Sidebar tab. Then open a new Finder window and press Shift-Command-H. This will take you to your home folder which will allow you to go through your folders etc. Try also pressing Command-3 as I find this is the easiest way to get around Finder.
    Minecraft stores it's files in the Library folder in your home folder which is hidden by default to prevent accidental changes. You temporarily view it by going to Finder and clicking the "Go" menu, then hold shift to see Library appear. Click that. Then navigate to the Application Suport folder then to the minecraft folder. This is where all the Minecraft stuff is. If you need any more help please reply!
    Hope this helps,
    xeni
    PS. I will not be available until after 9pm AEST and if not tomorrow as I have to go to work... Sorry!

  • Finder Not Showing All Files in Folder?

    I have had this happen to me in Tiger before but in the past week or so I have come across two instances where Finder is not displaying all the files in a folder. On the first occurrence, I was moving files over from a samba share and for some reason Finder was not reading a few music files. Thus, those files did not get moved over, and just now I was reviewing some bank statements and one of the PDF statements I saved yesterday did not appear until I did a "killall Finder" in Terminal. Has anyone else experienced this? This seems to be a serious flaw that could bring about data loss issues.
    Thanks,
    James

    Latest Mac OS X 10.5.1 build fixes Finder data loss issue
    By AppleInsider Staff
    Published: 04:00 PM EST
    Apple Inc. on Monday continued to pound away at its first maintenance and security update to the recently released Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard operating system, issuing a new test build to developers that fixes the much publicized Finder data loss issue.
    People familiar with the ongoing testing process for Mac OS X 10.5.1 Update say the new build, labeled Mac OS X 10.5.1 build 9B16, was accompanied by a note to developers that specifically mentions a Finder-related fix affecting files that are moved between directories.
    It was widely reported earlier this month that Leopard's Finder is affected by a glaring bug in its directory-moving code, which could lead to horrendous data loss if a destination volume disappears while a move operation is in progress.
    Those people familiar with pre-release builds of Mac OS X 10.5.1 also added that the software update will deliver an enhancement to Leopard that will allow Apple's Software Update and installer applications to make revisions to application files which may have been moved outside their designated "Applications" directory on Leopard volumes.
    As was the case with build 9B13, which was released for private testing last Monday, Apple is reportedly asking that its developers test the latest build broadly, paying particular attention to Time Machine, Mail, iCal, Back To My Mac, Bonjour, AirPort, gaming graphics, networking and the Finder.
    Mac OS X 10.5.1 is expected to be released as a free update within a few weeks' time.

  • Finder doesn't show socket files

    Hi Community,
    if we navigate into a folder by using the Finder (e.g. /private/var/run) the Finder is hiding the socket files but in a Terminal we can see this files without the hidden flag. The Finder Setting 'AppleShowAllFiles TRUE' doesn't change this behavior. But the Finder in Snow Leopard is showing this files. Is there a way to setup the Finder to show this files as well? How does the system hide this files in the Finder?
    Thx in advance & Bye Tom

  • Finder does not show new files with older creation dates

    Short story: when I somehow create new files or folders with older dates, Finder does not show them.
    This happens e.g. when I unrar archives created some time ago: the files or folders coming out of the archive get their original date, which is earlier than today.
    I can see those files and folders without problems in a terminal (using ls). But they don't show up in Finder when I visit the same directory.
    When I use terminal to go into some directory that is not yet visible in Finder, and I open a new Finder window for that directory from within terminal (using "open ."), the new directory and its contents will show up in Finder.
    My best guess is that some things have changed in the way Finder and the indexing of my flle system co-operate. In any case, this is higly annoying.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    I have the same problem.  I create files and they do not show up in their respective Finder window.  I know the files are there because I created them and I can see them using Terminal and applications can open them.  If I refresh the window by going to the parent directory and back again, the files do not show up.  If I close all windows and open that specific  window again, the files still do not show up.  If I leave the computer overnight, the new files still do not show up.  As brdsutte stated, after rebooting the computer, the files show up in the Finder window.  Anyone have any suggestions?
