Network in Finder not displaying networks.

Hey,
I seem to have developed a problem with Network in my Finder. Restarting does not seem to rectify it nor does removing the icon and replacing it.
Basically when I click on network in the finder (or even via the go menu), instead of being shown the different networks available I am shown the Applications, Library and User Folders of my username.
Why would this be happening and how do I get back to seeing my actual network options?
Thanking you mucho.

hello and hello... no new settings were applied to either of the Macs being used... we have been having problems with our ISP... our ADSL speed has been really slow over the past fortnight which has resulted in BT changing our profile to a very small one. By Friday we were told that it appears our modem is disconnecting from the ADSL connection all the time. Yesterday I went and exchanged it for another brand and after having some MTU problems, everything now seems to be fine. It appears therefore that that was a modem issue which was affecting our networking.
If it reoccurs I will let you know.
Thanks for the help though.

  • Finder not displaying all files in remote directory

    Sorry, this is a repost as I have gotten no response from my original request here: Finder not displaying all files in remote directory
    I've exported pictures from iPhoto on my iMac to a shared directory on my mac mini. When I access that directory from my iMac, I can see some but not all of the pictures. I know the pictures exported properly because I can see them all from the mac mini. I can open up a terminal window on my iMac and see all of the files; I can also open those files from the terminal.
    I'm running OSX 10.9.4 on both computers, with the mac mini also running OSX Server. I've placed a screen grab below from my iMac of what Finder sees vs what I can see from the terminal.
    Why isn't Finder displaying all of my files?

    thanks for responding
    Adding a new file to the shared folder results in me being able to see the new file from my clients regardless of where it was added from, however the "hidden" files do not suddenly pop up.
    I tried a few more experiments that had interesting results, but still didn't lead me to an answer.
    First I tried copying the files from the remote directory to a local directory; I did this in 2 different ways and had different results. Method A) I copied files from the mounted share to a local dir: "cp /Volumes/MyShare/dir/*.JPG .". Method B) I copied the files using secure copy: "scp user@server:/path/to/dir/*.JPG .".
    Method A resulted in Finder not being able to see the files in the local directory, while Method B did. This was interesting and lead me to suspect an issue with the way I am sharing the directory on the server. From Server settings I have both afp and smb checked. I tried enabling only one or the other and reconnecting; but this did not fix the problem.
    Next I tried exporting the photos from iPhoto again. Exporting them locally results in files that Finder can see. Exporting them to my server results the same bad behavior
    Getting desperate, I also tried renaming all of the files from "*.JPG" to "*.jpg" but this didn't help.
    One last experiment, I see the same behavior from both another Mac and a PC on my local network... FTP works fine.
    Any more ideas?

  • Finder not displaying all Volumes/Devices

    Hello,
    The internal harddisk in my iMac is made of two volumes: OS & Data.
    Tonight I noticed that those 2 volumes are not displayed on Desktop. They don't appear in Finder Sidebar either. I checked Finder preferences: all checkboxes are 'active'. So all devices should be visible.
    When I connect my iPod or external USB Harddisk, they are visible in Finder and on Desktop.
    I repaired permission & rebooted without success. All available MacOS updates are installed. I also cleared caches with Onyx before rebooting the system.
    In Terminal, I do see the volumes under /Volumes and can 'browse' each volume directories without issue.
    Any idea why Volumes for the internal Disk are not being displayed ?
    Thank you.

    It sounds like you have been bit by the invisiblity bug. See my article here:
    http://www.pinkmutant.com/articles/invisible.html
    If you recently added comments in the GetInfo box on the partitions, that will cause the problem. The article offers several ways to change the visiblity bit. The last section deals with the Spotlight comments variant.

  • Mountain lion server network accounts are not mounting network home directory, rather its creating a blank local directory

    I have set up a scratch mountain lion server with open directory.  copied over old user account directories and added my users that match the directory ids.  Currently if a networked user logs into a networked computer, instead of mounting the network home directory, its creating a local home directory.  suggestions?

    Additional info: it appears that certificates are not working either: setting up ical: "the certificate for this server was signed by an unknown certifying authority."...

  • Mavericks Simple Finder Not Displaying Correctly

    I have upgraded one of our network mac minis to mavericks and have created a test server for it, i am trying to use WGM to restrict the finder for students to simple finder this works but no finder launches at all, when i create a local account on the machine and use parental controls to push out simple finder when you click on the documents folder in the dock it opens up a finder window that has no sidebar and no toolbar this allows you to drag and drop files into apps (this is what i am trying to achieve with WGM for domain users). is there a way of making WGM push out the "same" simple finder as parental controls does it is not an option under the parental controls tab in WGM

    Problem is you're doing what a lot of beginners do, trying to
    create a
    page by using one single table and splitting the cells into
    numerous
    cells......that aint going to work as you have found out.
    It doesn't help either that you are allowing Fireworks to
    generate this
    code. When you do that it normally produces fragile code that
    the
    browser tries its best to interpret and a lot of times fails
    The design you're trying to produce is a fairly basic 2
    column table
    which you should ideally set up directly in Dreamweaver.
    A sticking plaster option would be to remove all the elements
    in your
    navigation side bar and merge that column back into one
    single cell. You
    can do that by click-dragging in Dreamweaver then in the
    properties
    inspector where it says 'cell' in the bottom left corner
    click the white
    square icon which will merge all the cells into one.
    The downside to this is that it may upset the fragile code
    created by
    Fireworks and throw your page into even more turmoil.
    If it does work you then need to insert another table (a
    nested table)
    into the cell which you merged back into one. Then put your
    navigation
    buttons into it.
    Tables that are independent of one another cannot interact
    and so you
    create a more stable environment for your design.

  • Finder not displaying files on desktop

    I have had this problem a couple of times: a file (or files) is saved to the desktop and it fails to appear. If I look in a Finder window whether it be CoverFlow or any other display, the file is there, but does not appear on the desktop although there are gaps in the file layout where one would expect these files to be.
    I last found this a few minutes ago and saw also that the Finder was not listed in the Force Quit panel. A logout (not restart) was enough to bring the files back onto the desktop and to have the Finder appear in that Force Quit panel.
    Any suggestions? (Has anyone else seen this?) How can I restart the Finder if it is not in that panel without resorting to a logout? My thanks.

    Hold down the Option key and press the Finder icon in the Dock - you'll get a Relaunch command. But you have to press Option before you press the icon (unlike option-commands with other Dock icons).

  • Finder not displaying anything

    Recently the finder on my macbook air has quit displaying all programs, the only files that appear in finder are the ones in desktop, but when opened they also appear to be empty. I know that the software hasn't been deleted or anything because i can find it using spotlight. Any help?

    Not sure how you did the SMC reset however here is the correct way, try that first. It's OK to do 2-3 of them.
    SMC RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    PRAM RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    If that still doesn't work re-start the compute in Safe Mode, it's possible a cache may have become corrupted. A Safe Mode reset will clear some caches.
    If the SMC reset and Safe Mode restart don't help then reinstall OS X using the Intall USB drive that shipped withe computer. Don't worry it won't affect your data at all.

  • Previously networked computer does not see network

    I recently exchanged my Airport Extreme for a Time Capsule. My iMac picked it up immediately. Another networked iMac has been a little bit of a problem, since it occasionally gives me a message that it is not connected to the internet, despite the fact that the network shows up. Through trial and error I can usually get it back on track. My biggest problem is the Powermac G5, which always picked up the network, and which does not see it at all. I entered the name of the network with the password, and got a message that there was an error connecting to it. No network at all shows up in the drop down menu for Airport. What am I doing wrong here???

    You might try the three suggestions in the second message of this thread:

  • Networked computer will not join network automatically after restart/sleep

    Situation:
    I've got two computers - PowerBook 17" 1,25 GHz, iMac 2,16 GHz 24", both running OS X 10.4.8. They are networked via AirPort Express, firmware v. 6.3, in a WPA protected network. The AirPort distributes ADSL 4 Mbps connection.
    Computers are set as DHCP with manual address (to keep stable LAN address)
    The problem: While the PowerBook always joins the network after restart/sleep automatically, iMac in such a situation never goes online - the airport status in menu bar is on, the network is checked, but it cannot connect or be reached.
    I always have to manually turn airport of from menu bar, then turn it on, then wait about 20 seconds and then manually choose name of my network.
    After this procedure iMac is finally online.
    Settings of the AirPort are:
    AirPort tab
    Wireless Security: WPA2 personal
    Channel: Automatic
    Mode: 802/11 g/b
    Internet tab
    Connecting using: Ethernet
    Configure: Using DHCP
    WAN ethernet port: Automatic
    Network tab
    Distribute IP address unchecked (no difference when checked - tested)
    Any idea how to fix it?
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks a bunch, Duane!
    You pointed me to the exact answer.
    iMac joins the network automatically now, although I had to change original automatic login of an admin user to manual login page, because after automatic login as one of three users, an error message "Network error" appeared quicker than the actual joining the network, that came a few seconds later.
    After manual logging (it probably needed a little more time) it's OK.
    Thanks again and greeting from Czech Republic!

  • Finder not displaying file contents

    I have dropbox and configured it to show the icon on the tray over the left of my day/time.  When I click onto the folder via Finder, I see the folder icon.  The "Info" for this folder should allow me to read/write to the folder. However, when I ask to see the contents, I do not get a listing of the  files within the folder.  I am very frustrated since I have been struggling to resolve this configuration issue out on my own. It is most likely 'user issue' which led me here.  However, I am at my ropes end.  Can someone tell me how to fix this?

    <Personal Information Edited By Host>

    Your original post wat to ask to see what was in that folder.  The command I gave was to show that.  There is one finder invisible zero-length file in that folder named .com.apple.timemachine.supported which I believe means it can be uses as a TB backup.
    If you want to always see these finder invisible files -- everywhere -- then follow the instructions in this article:
    Show Hidden Files in Mac OS X
    Now you are asking about the folder itself, i.e., what it's access is.  I would think you would see that doing Get Info in the finder.  But the terminal command to do it is similar to seeing the folder's contents:
    ls -lde /Users/petesalcido/Documents/Dropbox/London\ and\ Paris\ Pics\ 2012
    Just -lde instead of -la as the ls options (that's an "ell" in the -lde just like the ls).

  • Finder not displaying right disk space????/

    Hi,
    In Finder, the available hard drive space seems to be wrong.
    My system:
    MacBook
    2 gig of RAM
    OS 10.4.7
    I have run both WhatSize and OmniDiskSweeper. These apps say I have used 11.3 gigs of space.
    But according to finder I have used 27 gigs of space.
    Where is did that 16 gigs go?
    If anything, when I installed Tiger I did a "lean" version with less programs, printer drivers etc.
    Also, my "all files" back up on my external likewise shows only around 10 gigs used as back-up files.
    I am now pretty much convinced (from the two apps and my external space used for back-up) that Finder is the problem -- not invisible files, virtual files etc. I even logged on as the root to see if any invisible files were being shown. Nope -- same view.
    I should add that I also looked in actyivity monitor and things did not seem to add up. It said 27 gigs used, yet did not show anything suggesting that much should have been used?
    What can I do? I really do not want to "lose" 16 gigs just like that.
    Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

    my external hard drive is showing -- two partitions. TYHis is what I get:
    total 8
    drwxrwxrwt 5 root admin 170 Aug 8 23:01 .
    drwxrwxr-t 31 root admin 1156 Aug 4 09:43 ..
    drwxrwxr-t 27 root admin 1020 Aug 4 03:48 BACK UP
    lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 1 Aug 4 09:43 Macintosh HD -> /
    drwxrwx--- 15 djmac djmac 612 Aug 4 00:32 THE VAULT
    So I eject the external, turned it off, rebooted, ran the command and this is what I got:
    total 8
    drwxrwxrwt 3 root admin 102 Aug 9 00:12 .
    drwxrwxr-t 31 root admin 1156 Aug 9 00:12 ..
    lrwxr-xr-x 1 root admin 1 Aug 9 00:12 Macintosh HD -> /

  • Finder not displaying latest files

    I have an issue with a couple of Yosemite clients whereby if a folder is updated with newer files, the Yosemite finders aren't automatically being updated.  I've found a post relating to the same problem with Dropbox, but in my situation the data is stored on a Lacie DAS attached to a mac mini
    https://www.dropboxforum.com/hc/communities/public/questions/201166919-New-files -don-t-show-up-in-Finder-MacOS-Yosemite-
    Not sure if anyone else has come across this problem or has any suggestions.

    Do a backup.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder.  Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist.  Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Re-launch Finder by restarting the computer and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the same, return the .plist to where you got it  from, overwriting the newer one.
    Thanks to leonie for some information contained in this. 

  • Cover flow view in finder not displaying proper

  • Finder not displaying thumbnail for Nikon D810 NEF files

    Hi all,
    I went out and bought the D810 upon it's release the other day and shot a wedding with it yesterday, however I've come to transfer the files over to my iMac this morning but finder isn't loading up a thumbnail of the shots.
    I assume this is an issue with the new NEF file type for the D810 (I had a similar issue with Photoshop CS5.1, so now have to bite the bullet and upgrade to PS CC!), but is there an update to allow Finder to show the files?
    I read somewhere that an update when the D800 was released was pushed through the latest version of iPhoto. I appear to have the latest version of iPhoto though, so wouldn't appear to be the same for the D810! (That said, I can view the photos in iPhoto but I prefer using Finder!)
    Do you think Apple is likely to release an update for this issue any time soon?
    Thanks in advance for any help

    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    The D810 was first supported in Lightroom 5.6 so, if you want to import D810 Raw files into Lightroom, you'll have to pay to upgrade to Lightroom 5, if your computer can run it.
    Support for new cameras is never retrospectively added to older versions of Lightroom.
    Your other (free) option is to download the free Adobe DNG converter, convert all D810 Raw files to DNG format then import the DNGs into Lightroom 4
