Maverick OS: file index preview, delete but file image remains in preview.

Anyone having same issue? Or have I found a bug?
In 'Folder' file view lists, which there are 4 options to view, found in 'top left corner' of folder view: '4 square' - 'Stack' - '3 Coloumn' and 'Index file preview'.
In the 'Index file preview' setting where the highlighted file appears in the preview window at the top of folder.
If I delete a sleceted file, the deleted file image remains in 'file viewer window' above! (the file is sent to trash).
This deleted file then throws ones highlighted slected file names out of sync with what image appears in the 'preview window'.
This can lead to a mis deletation if you dont keep an eye on file name and corosponding preview image above.
If I select file 'ascending or desending' in any of the file properties like 'name - date or kind' this does 'correct - reset' preview stacking images - but I'm sure this isnt how it should be?
Thoughts?

Hi tonmeno,
Yes this is a hard issue to explain in words alone, but you sound like you are having the same concerns.
Have I found a solution? No, not really.
However, I think it only affects those files that were copied across in the Maverick update - this does not affect new folders generated after the Mavericks install. (?)
What I did find was, lets says I'm in one of those old folders. I delete images or files not required (as we note the preview image remains) if I then go to the 'Change item arrangement' the (six tiny squares with a down arrow icon button), next to the '4 in a line viewing option' buttons (top left of finder window). Then select say arrange as 'name' I now get a reshuffled list of true files contents (previews corrected). But this is no way a fix.
Not sure I can say the Finder is slow?
This sure is a strange one - And as we've both noted this can lead to unnecessary file deletion!
Come-on Apple :-) we can't be the only ones? I'm running 2010 Macbook pro - on 10.9 with everything else up to date.
I believe its a bug.

I am having difficulty clearing the cache on the latest upgrade of Firefox. I click both clear now buttons in preferences but the images remain cached.

I close the tab, click both clear now buttons in preferences > advanced, but the images do not update to newly uploaded ones on my site. I had a long session with my CDN and it is not their issue. It does not occur on Safari or Chrome, only Firefox. I updated to the latest version two days ago. Please advise on this bug... issue... or procedure...
Thank you,
Kevin

You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button

Can anyone suggest how ot fix this

Hi Sue,
Thanks for your reply.
I have zoomed in on the timeline and the audio files are always completely deleted.
I extract audio a lot when making a programme as I feature interviews with inserts pasted over at playhead. It seems the more I do this the more likleyhood of this audio bug occuring randomly. If you had any workaround ideas they would be much appreciated.
I dont use transitions or titles when this fault occurs

I am unable to delete music from my iPhone5 either directly or via PC. On the iPhone the tracks disappear but the phone remains full and the data is still visible on the PC. I am unable to manipulate the data in any way on the PC.

I am unable to delete music from my iPhone5 either directly or via PC. On the iPhone the tracks disappear when swiping left and deleting but the phone remains full and the data is still visible on the PC. The music was installed on the phone from the backup of a previous model but with the addition of new tracks I am now unable to add more or update to the next operating system as the phone is full. On my PC the music is still there and but the neither the delete function or any form of sorting/management on the music files is functional. Other Apple products work OK including previous phone, ipad.ipods etc Any advice/help available to get past this would be appreciated.

I think it is 7.1.1 - there was another update today which I've uploaded but it didn't make any difference. It's just the music libary on the 5 that's causing me problems.

How to delete a movie in iDVD in the MOVIES pane. I highlight the movie and push delete, but nothing happens.

How can I delete a movie in the MOVIES pane in iDVD? I highlight the movie and push delete, but the movie remains in the pane window. Some of the images in the pane are downloads are from QuickTime, and I want theme deleted from the MOVIES pane in iDVD.
Thank you

Hi Beverley,
Best wishes for the 2006 , and happy new year to you !!
Sorry for this late reply to your suggestion. Here is finally what worked for me :
I simply moved the second part of my movie (this second part is for my second DVD) to the right pane, including all the transitions etc, that I previously made. Doing this I just kept in timeline the content of my first DVD, and it worked like a charm.
Afterwards, I did the contrary : took back the second part to the beginning of the time line, and moved the first to the right panel.
I had tried copy.paste the clip to another project before, but this duplicate the materiel and take a huge space onto the hard drive. Moreover, as you may have noticed, there is no simple way to decrease the size of a project after you have imported the clips. The trash/ empty trash fonction is very conservative and does not make it possible to reduce the size of the altered materiel (I finished with a 45 gig project for a 2 hours movie).

Okay, i have 2 bugs with maverick. First, when I delete a file within a window, the files deletes but the preview doesn't delete until I close the window and reopen it. Second, I work on a network of computers and the search feature is now buggy...

Okay, i have 2 bugs with maverick. First, when I delete a file within a window, the files deletes but the preview doesn't delete until I close the window and reopen it. Second, I work on a network of computers and the search feature is now buggy... When I search for a file, A) it asks me if it's a name, or it wont produce anything, and B), its slower than in prior OS versions and in some instances I have to toggle to a different directory and go back to my original directory in the search: menu bar or the search wont produce anything... Very buggy.

It appears to me that network file access is buggy in Maverick.
In my case I have a USB Drive attached to airport extreme (new model) and when I open folders on that drive they all appear empty. If I right click and I select get info after a few minutes! I get a list of the content.
It makes impossible navigate a directory tree.
File access has been trashed in Maverick.
They have improved (read broken) Finder. I need to manage a way to downgrade to Lion again.

I have moved old Back Up files from my external hard drive to the trash and as the Trash previews the files, i.e. counts them (over 850,000 files) it then begins to delete but then stops. Is it possible to move the files out of the Trash file and then only delete a small amount at one time?

I'm trying to back up 10.6.8 (snow leopard) and all my files before upgrade to Mavericks. I have an old but sturdy external hard drive...how many GB available will I probably need to back up the whole thing? thanks!

You will need a separate partition unless you plan to use the entire drive. You will need an amount of space somewhat larger than the total space now used on your startup drive. If you select the startup drive's Desktop icon, then press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. Used space will be shown in the topmost panel. Add a GB or two to that number to determine how much space you'll need for the backup.
Do not backup on a drive that has any files you want to keep. You can make a bootable backup as follows:
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
it to the Destination entry field.
5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
the Source entry field.
6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.

I upgraded to Mavericks. Everything went smoothly. But now Excel is giving all of its warnings in what I believe is Chinese. As an example I update a file, close it, and the warning message about saving is in Chinese. Anybody else encounter this?

HT204053 best storage for filies deleted but used frequently wd drop box flash drive

best storage for filies deleted but used frequently wd drop box flash drive

Thanks LowLuster! With that info I have another questions if that's ok. First, I'm sure it's formatted to fat32. I have learned I can't transfer movies over 4gb. I use an external hard drive for those. The files are ones I've downloaded from YouTube in the mp4 format and are never over 1gb. They're all mb in size.
I didn't realize flash drives had limited writes. Is there any way to confirm I've reached the limit? Both times I reformatted it I was able to add back the videos I previously had on it. I would say there were a hundred or so. Both times I left some "growing room" on the flash drive so I could add more files. And, both times I was able to continuing adding until I had reached the max capacity. The problem occured after I tried deleting files to free up space. Does this make sense with "the amount you have used it" theory? Does it start to become buggy at that point, or does it just make writes to the drive impossible?
Thanks

Hello WGT52,
It sounds like this error message is preventing you from syncing your content to the iPod. I would recommend the troubleshooting steps in the following article:

Creating a Mavericks USB boot drive after the horse has bolted. Can I create a bootable USB drive from my iMac after installing Mavericks without saving the Install OS X Mavericks.app file? Do I need to re- download the whole 5.29 Gb again?

Creating a Mavericks USB boot drive after the horse has bolted. Can I create a bootable USB drive from my iMac after installing Mavericks without saving the Install OS X Mavericks.app file? Do I need to re- download the whole 5.29 Gb from the App Store again? My problem is my 4Gb/month allowance on a 12 month contract. I cannot purchase a data block from my ISP and although my speed is theoretically slowed to 64k after reaching my 4Gb, it actually ceases to download in reality.

HI tasclix, it depends what you mean by an OS X boot drive.
If you want a recovery disk from which you can reinstall (by re-downloading) or recover from a time machine backup, then nbar is correct.
If, however, you want to boot and run the OS X installer from the USB drive (so that you don't need to download again), then you will need a copy of "Install OS X Mavericks.app"; see this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5856
Before downloading again, search your system to see if the installer is still there - it's usually in the /Applications folder unless it has been deleted, but check your whole system for it anyway, you never know, you might still have it somewhere.

Use Referenced Masters To Avoid Accidentally Deleting A Master Image File

If you use Managed images it is possible to delete the master file accidentally. If you delete versions of an image using File -> Delete Version and the version you are deleting is the last remaining version for that image, Aperture 3 will delete both the version and the master image. If you subsequently empty Aperture Trash and then System Trash that master image file is gone forever. In Aperture 3 there is no warning that you are about to delete a master image.
A workaround (although a weak workaround) is to use Referenced Image Masters. Then when you delete the last version which includes the master image from Aperture, you can uncheck the box "Move referenced file to system trash." and no master image file will be deleted. The downside to this workaround is that when you really want to delete a master image file, it must be done via Finder.
The best solution would be for Apple to fix this bug so that when you select "Delete Version" it only deletes the version image and reverts to the master image. That way the master image can only be delete via the command "Delete Master Image and All Versions."

There is no bug there.
I had some trouble wrapping my mind around the file-Master-Version-Image-(Preview) complex that flows, sand-like, through the entire working of Aperture. (I like a thing to be represented by itself and itself alone, and to exist in one place and one place alone. I was comfortable with the seeming precision of the location-based "file+path" metaphor for the existence of these virtual things. Aperture quite cleverly moves beyond that.) Two things helped me move forward:
- understanding the difference between Projects and Albums, and
- separating my Library into a storage area and an output area.
Projects are, for me, storage containers. (I have said elsewhere that the mis-naming of "Projects" is the single worst interface decision made in Aperture.) They have a privileged relationship with your Images: every Image must "live" in a Project, and "lives" in only one Project. It may help you to think of "Image+Project{Path}" as functionaly equivalent, within the Aperture Library, to the file directory "file+path" mentioned above.
Albums are, for me, output containers. I create Albums every time I know I will output a set of Images.
In practice, I work on Images in each. In general, I develop my digital captures in the Project that holds them (and I rigorously stick to "One Project = One shoot"), I create Versions and add them to Albums as needed for output (they are automatically made the Album Pick), and I tweak them for output and then output them from Albums.
You may be wondering (if you've read this far) -- "What has this got to do with deleting Masters?" A lot. Note the difference in the context-menu between a Version in a Project and a Version in an Album. The menu for the Album contains two delete commands: "Delete Version", and "Remove from Album". The Versions live in Projects, and only visit Albums. As Terence correctly points out, if you delete the last Version, your expectation should be that you are deleting that Image from your Library. My suggestion is that you adopt something similar to what I've set up, and delete Versions from ONLY Projects (never from Albums). This way you will never unknowingly delete the last Version (because Images can be in only one Project, and if you delete the last Version from that Project you know you are expunging that Image from your Library).
