My iBook doesn't show the hidden files on my pen drive

Hi there,
I have a 1 Gb Kingston pen drive to transfer files from/to my work PC (which is a Windows PC).
The pen drive works seamlessly on the Windows PC. But when using it on Mac iBook G4 it always leaves some "markers" of the files used like "._trash". These are not very big, but I wonder:
1) Why does Mac create those apparently useless files?
2) Why can I only see those apparently useless files on Windows PCs but not on Mac? (i.e. if I didn't have to regularly use a Windows PC my pen drive would get filled up with useless information without me even knowing)
3) Why can I add or alter files from Mac to pen drive, but I cannot simply delete files on the pen drive using my Mac (again, I need to retort to my olde Windows PC to do such a "basic" operation).
I always press the eject button before unplugging my pen drive.
I always find annoying that external devices that work just fine and as expected on Windows PCs create endless problems and issues when connected to Mac (have similar issues with my Sony digital camera).
Thank you for your help and time
Marco

Hello Soave
Hope to answer some Qs.
1) The files aren't useless to OS X. Please follow this link to read more.
2) Mac OS X is based around Unix. In Unix, the convention to hide files is to prefix a full-stop. Windows does not recognise this as a hidden file and hence will simply show them with the preceding full-stop.
3) I can't answer this one as I can see no reason why you should be allowed to alter them but not delete them. It's obvious you have write access to them. I use a thumb drive on my Mac and I have no such problems.
I haven't personally used it, but this program might be of use to you.

  • Ibooks doesn't show the books

    I tried to configure the books from my pc to Ibooks. But Ibook doesn't show the books...

    I don't have this problem, but just a thought... have you tried signing out of your apple id and re-starting iBooks?
    You can sign out in 2 places.
    1. In iBooks, by tapping on your apple id down the bottom left hand side of the page.
    2. In iPad Settings, then store, then tap apple id.

  • Finder Cover Flow is broken and doesn't show the correct file I click on

    When I go into my Downloads and press the spacebar to preview a photo, it will preview the photo before it for some weird reason.
    Example:
    I highlight and press space for "Photo 2", but instead it will show "Photo 1" in the Cover Flow and will Preview that instead.

    Totally broken for me too. This is a giant, gaping hole in the OS LOL. I fire up a Finder window w/ cover flow view, erase a file, and now the highlighted image in the list below is off by one file and it doesn't remove the preview of the just-deleted file in the Cover Flow pane. Sad. This is just an embarrassing bug Big A. How do you not fix this before going public with a major point release? Not to mention the scrolling issue.

    Thanks Barney, I tried that but all that comes up in Spotlight are the log files that show the file paths! I don't know how Steam works. Are all the files held by Steam on their server perhaps?

  • When I reload an HTM page using a SWF file like a   menu, the HTML page doesn't shows the SWF again!

    Dear Sirs,
    I hope to be directing my question into the correct forum's place.
    I'm new in flash and I'm trying to make some tests
    My problem is the following:
    I included one SWF file into 3 HTM pages.
    This SWF works as a little menu.
    The SWF file (named "menu.swf") contains 3 items working as command buttons to access the three different HTM pages
    Each HTM page contains the same "menu.SWF" file, some HTML text and one picture.
    The swf contains:
    Button 1 -> calls page1.htm using:
                on (press) {
                getURL("./page1.htm", "_top");
    Button 2 -> calls page2.htm using:
                on (press) {
                getURL("./page2.htm", "_top");
    Button 3 -> calls page3.htm using:
                on (press) {
                getURL("./page3.htm", "_top");
    When I enter to "page1.htm" it appears correctly showing the swf file and all the HTML text.
    It is OK.
    But when I'm in "page1.htm" and I click on "Button1" (to reload "page1.htm") the only thing that I can see (after reloading page1) is the HTML text and the picture, but I cannot view the "menu.swf" file.
    "menu.swf" remains in its place, but "invisible".
    You can click on its command buttons, but anytime I click on the button that loads the same page (for example: "Button 1" to reload "page1.htm") the
    swf file(s) doesn't appears.
    The same thing happens when I'm in page 2 with Button 2 to reload page2 .htm, and so on.
    How can I do to solve this problem?
    Sorry for my not good english but I'm spanish speaker.
    Thank you!
    Gus

    The path in the buttons is not correct once you navigate to the htm page.
    So here you are on the landing page and the menu button says to get to "page1.htm" go up one folder level  (../) to the file page1.htm.
    Now once you are up one level, either you loose access to the .swf because from that page the path to the .swf is not correct, or if the .swf does show, then the path in the buttons back to the other pages is not correct, because you are now one folder level higher.
    If I am mis-reading your post and all pages are in the same folder, then remove the "../" part before the page name in the URL. Or perhaps you are using ./ to denote the current directory... I'd still suggest removing it. So the the getURL would look like this :
    getURL("page1.htm", "_top");
    if all pages are in the same folder.
    And if I am reading your post correctly, then you cannot use the same button URL to get to ("./page1.htm", "_top"); and once on page1.htm use that same URL to get back down to your landing page.
    So I'd say it's a pathing problem.
    Give that a try and see if it helps.
    Best wishes,

  • The hidden files on my macbook air keep showing up!

    The hidden files on my macbook air keep showing up! I use different methodes to hide them, but every time, out of the blue, all those horrible 'windows like' .docs show up. I used Paralles 5 (have deleted it - no change), even updated to Lion, no change.. Deleted MacFuse.. no change... I suspected ThinkerTool, but also that one is gone...  Files most of the time show as soon as I open a desktop folder... HELP anyone??

    Dear People,
    After month I'm still struggeling. Like I said, it is not just a replace True with False sollution. When I hide the 'hidden files' and I copy a file to my desktop, the screen flashes and boom... there are my hidden files again.
    I can keep on hiding them, but they will keep showing up.... what to do?

  • How can I see the hidden file and erase it?

    I had to make a file starting "." and had to put it on my FTP client. I made it by Text Edit and Microsoft word and save it. Since it is hidden file, I can't see on my Mac but when I use the FTP client and click post, the file listing was showed up and I can check as "Show Hidden file". Then I could post the files on the FTP client. However, since I don't need it on my computer, I'd like to erase it but can't find the files. How can I find the hidden files? Thank you.

    if you know the folder then navigate to that folder. Open the Terminal application in your Utiities folder and do the following::
    Enable Finder to Show Invisible Files and Folders
    Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following command line then press RETURN.
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
    To turn off the display of invisible files and folders enter or paste the following command line and press RETURN.
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
    Alternatively you can use one of the numerous third-party utilities such as TinkerTool or ShowHideInvisibleFiles - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

  • PC Suite doesn't show the messages in memory card

    Hei,
    Phone - 6210 Navigator
    PC Suite - 7.1
    Memory in use: Memory card
    When I open the  Communication Centre from PC Suite, it doesn't show the messages. In the left pane, number of messages in the folders is shown as zero. This happens if the memory is set to memory card.
    On the other hand, if I set the memory to Phone memory, the messages are shown properly. Why is this happening and what's the solution?
    When I tried to take a backup, all data, except messages, is backed up. 
    Few days back, I could access all the messages via PC Suite. It worked fine. But, now, there's some problem.
    I've lots of messages in the memory card & I wanna move them to different folders. How else can I do it?
    -Babloo 

    Hello,
    I think I found the cause of the problem. There's some problem with the memory card.
    I set the memory for Camera also to memory card and when I take a snap, something something happens. If I set the memory to phone memory, it works fine. 
    But, I can access the files/folders in the memory card both from the mobile & via PC Suite. 
    Now, my question is "How do I retrieve the messages from the memory card?"
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  • Google Docs page freezes in FF 4.0 and 3.16 versions and it doesn't show the collection or folder names on the left side of the page .

    Google Docs page freezes and it shows the files in the main page. However, it doesn't show the collection or folder on the left side of the page. It shows "Loading" on top of the page and it stays with "Loading" display forever. Chrome doesn;t have any such problem. I would like to use FF for google docs if it works. This happened only after I changed to FF 4.0. Now, I went back to 3.16 and it shows the same behavior as 4.0 version. Any help will be appreciated.

    I'm replying to my own question in hopes that it'll push my post to the top of any lists to garner some sort of response.
    Any help is most appreciated. Thank you.

  • Finder doesn't show new folders/files

    I've just created some new folders and files using the "save as" dialog from within Photoshop CS 8.0. Irritatingly, they don't show up in Finder. I can find them using the File>Open dialog in PS, or using, for example, Transmit.
    This seems like a very basic function of Finder which is clearly BROKEN.
    Changing views/directories/windows etc in Finder doesn't help, nor does quitting PS.
    Any hints on how to remedy and/or report this to Apple would be welcome.
    Message was edited by: NancyN

    It finally occurred to me to relaunch Finder (duh!) and now it shows the new files/folders.

  • WPF 4.5 doesn't show the option to open the project in Blend for Visual Studio 2013

    Hi,
    In my WPF 4.5 project in Visual Studio 2013, when I right clicked the name of my project it doesn’t show the option to open in Blend for Visual Studio 2013….. and when I try to open the project with Blend for Visual Studio 2013, it doesn't show anything.....
    I don't see the project nor the UI of my WPF 4.5 project
    How I can open my project in Blend for Visual Studio 2013???
    Thanks!!!
    Regards,

    Hi Jaquense,
    open Blend. Open Project/Solution and select the .sln-file of the project you've created in visual Studio. That's it. In the Project Explorer in Blend you should see your files and you should be able to open up your XAML-files.

  • Show/Hide Hidden Files

    When I am on my home network and logged into my other machines (one oc and one other mac) I get to see all the hidden files and it becomes quite confusing. I know its a simple toggle in Windows to show or hide hidden files. Is there a way to do this easily in Mac

    Hello:
    It's very easy.
    1. Open Automator.app
    2. It will open with a drop down menu.
    In the drop down menu select >custom > choose
    3. In the variables list choose "Run Shell Script", double click it,
    a command box will open.
    4. type in (the first line) defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
    5. press return
    6. type in (the 2nd line) killall Finder
    should see this in the box:
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
    killall Finder
    7. At the top left of your screen select > file > save as plugin
    8. A box will open > Save Plug-in as:
    9. Give it a name like "Show Hidden Files" (without the quotes).
    10. Make sure "Plug-in for: finder" (second line) is selected also. Click Save.
    You are almost done.
    Repeat the process substituting:
    defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
    killall Finder
    In step 6 and
    "Hide Hidden Files"
    in step 9.
    Now both commands are placed on the finder context menu.
    You can Access them using Control + Click or setting up a secondary mouse button.

  • My weather app doesn't show the feels like temp or wind, etc.  How can I fix this?  I am running iOS 8.1.2

    My weather app doesn't show the feels like temp or wind, etc.  How can I fix this?  I am running iOS 8.1.2.

    is that really what it is?  this is the native iphone weather app.  the funny part is that when i use the actual weather channel app, it does provide it.
    is this an api issue with the weather channel and the iphone then?  i guess there's no fix?
    thanks for your help by the way.
