Not seeing all the files on a shared Windows server??

I'm using a Windows Server 2003 to share files between Macintosh an Windows users. But sometimes the Mac users (10.4) don't see all the files (in the same folder) that the Windows users do! I've checked on the server and I don't see any (obvious) permission problem ... So why aren't all the files displayed???
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Jerome

Hello Herr Jerome, I have the same problem, here in our company. We have around 70 employees connected to a windows server network. There are 68 PCs and 2 macs, one of which is mine. We have a special directory on the server called macdata, but other users place their files in their own respective directories, to which we normally have access.
Since yesterday, if anyone else places files from PC on to the server for me, I cant see them. I can see all other files but not the ones copied since yesterday.Our support guys have tried pretty much everything including resetting permissions, to no avial. finally they received an error message: Caution older mac systems will have problems reading more than 65000 (plus a few files). But there are in advance of 100 000 files on our server, but the extra 35 000 wernt put on there just yesterday.I´m running Macosx 10.4.11 which is by no means an old system.
I´ve spent the day hunting the Internet for a solution, but Info on this subject seem to be scarce! I mean this is a very big problem in a business environment, our IS dept has been trying to scrap the macs for years and I´ve been working here on a mac and fighting for 15 years. So now our IS has at last a valid reason for switching us to PCs.
I don´t understand Apple not publishing these limitions in a prominent spot on their website, not to mention a solution because it´s a crucial limitation, people should know about. Apple truely is not interested in corporate, nor in its truly loyal champions bravely fighting aganst the PC onslaught

    Either of these should help.

    Or search 'disk size' in the App Store.
    Be carefull with what you delete & have a backup BEFORE you start, you may also want to reboot to try to free any memory that may have been written to disk.

  • Can not see all the clips in large Icon view in my bin

    I arranged my clips in a bin in large Icon view but i can not see all the clips in the bin while in that mode. I see the clips when in list mode or when i drag them out of the bin into the main bin. As soon I drag them back in large icon view bin they do not show up, when going back in list view they are there.
    Any idea
    Also my daughter accidently pulled the electrical plug, which turned my external hard drive off. So the media was off line. I hit reconnect the clip but the clip does not show as connected in the bin it keeps the Media offline icon but putting the clip in the viewer or time line it plays it. So the clip is reconnected
    hope anybody can help with those two issues thanks

    Nick
    thanks for your message it helped to show the clips. Here how I solved it. I put the clips i could not see in large Icon view, to the Project folder. Even in the project folder I was only seeing the clips with Thumbnail in list view. When i hit large Icon view the clips disappeared, and they could not have been lower down as i only have about 5 folders in the project. I then clicked arrange the clip by name and they showed up again. Like that i dragged the clip back in to its bin and it showed up. The reason for going back and forth I arranged the clips manually in the bin before and when hitting arrange by name it spread them to far apart and put the clips not in a sequence I liked.
    for the second part I followed Neil's suggestion it worked.

  • I am not seeing all the categories in iBook app.

    I am not seeing all the book categories. I am seeing only biography, history, religion and travel categories. Also I think I can see only the free books. Others books do not show up in the search. Do I need to do any settings?

    You don't indicate where you are located.  That's important because some locations do not yet have paid books.

    If you cannot get something on iBooks, you need to get other apps like Kindle, Nook, or Googlebooks and try them instead.

    Hi there, I have much files saved on pages ( ios ipad) , I just open it today and did not find .all the files !!!! Just 4!!! Taken in consider that I did not delete or making any wrong action. How I can return the lost files!!!! Help please
    its very important files!

    tis true
    I know, I always do that but I was in a rush to get somewhere and I was relying on my thousand dollar Mac to do some kind of recovery or something. I know Microsoft always keeps temporary files (I think Mac does too, part of me asking here in this forum was for someone to tell me where I can find those files) and when you go to open Office Works then it gives you the option of opening the last recent documents, saved or not saved.
    I usually copy paste into my emial just in case something goes wrong with the created document but I just didn't have the time to login and do all that My loss, you live and you learn, BUT still if ANYONE got any info on this, PLEASE DO CHIME IN *keeping the hope alive*

    I cannot import my AVCHD files by using log and transfer. I can see all the files, but when I add the file to import que it doesnt work, the status is a red and says that its no data. I have tried with different cards and different cardreaders, but it is still the same. Why?!

    Please give us more specific information -
    What make/model camcorder are you using?
    Are you absolutely certain this is AVCHD video?  Tell us more about the video settings you used in the camcorder (eg, frame size, frame rate, quality level)
    Why are you attempting Log & Transfer from a card reader instead of from your camcorder?  Have you tried doing Log & Transfer from your camcorder?
    Are the SD cards straight from the camcorder, unaltered, or are you just using the cards as storage?
    Are you using FCE 4.0 or FCE 4.0.1?

  • Can not see all the SQL server views

    My SQL Server 2005 (SP2 STD)  has about 1000 views. When I created a Crystal Report using Crystal Report 10, I can only see about 225 views are listed in Database Expert. Here is the procedure to reproduce the problem:
    1. Create a new Crystal Report
    2. Create a new connection using ODBC RDO
    3. Drill into DSN Name->DB Name->dbo->Views. Only the first 200 or so views in alphabetical order are listed on Available Data Sources on the left pane.
    I am using SQL authentication and sa account to connect to SQL. So security should not be the problem. I can also use Access 2003 linked table to see all the views in my SQL server.
    Is there a restriction on how many views can be listed in Crystal Data Source? Is there another way to add data source to Report without using Database Expert?
    Thanks in advance!

    Youdao,
    There is a default limit of 8000 objects that Crystal will see in the database.
    I would suggest right clicking on your datasource and selecting Options. In the Data Explorer uncheck Tables and Stored Procedures leaving Views selected > press OK > then right click again and refresh.
    If the limit was being reached then you should now see at least more Views if not all.
    The default limit can be edited in the Registry (*Always recommended to back up the registry before editing).
    The key is HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Crystal Decisions or Business Objects > (version number) > Crystal Reports > Fetch options > NTablesMax

  • SMB sharing not listed all the files

    Folks,
    We've got a G5 desktop machine running 10.5.8. It had been sharing a RAID array -- Buffalo DuoStation, 2tb, mounted with Firewire -- with AFP for some time, and apparently that had been working fine.
    But the AFP sharing didn't show up in file sharing at all. We had to set up Windows/SMB sharing, turned it on, it came up just fine.
    Except a huge number of the folders are simply not showing up -- like, a majority. Sharing is set to everyone read-only. It's a photo archive, so I can see every day for 2011, but I can't see any of the months for, say, 2005. Only thing that shows is .DS_Store is in the second-level folders.
    Because this is already in production, and I don't know the RAID setup or anything, I'm reluctant to try to run Drive Setup etc. on it to look for permission problems and the like.
    Any ideas?
    Mike

    I thought the problem was ACLs, but it was a directory name problem -- and I just completely overlooked it.
    We had folders like this:
    2005 photos
    -> 01/05
    ->-> 01/13/05
    The slashes are outside the SMB specs, so they simply didn't show. Now I guess I need to find a way to rename the folders in bulk, but I know what the problem is.

  • Itunes not seeing all the voice memos on my iPhone 4s

    I want to sync all my voice memos from my iPhone 4s to iTunes but when I plug my phone into my macbook air, the section that says voice memos only has about 37 of the 125 voice memos I have on the phone. I also looked in the Music section, which has the same 37 files plus an additional 8. It does not show any of the voice memos from the last 3 years. How can I resolve this? I want to sync but if its is not seeing these files, I'm worried they will get erased.
    I've read that I might be able to plug the iPhone into a PC that is running Linux and see the files under a 'recordings' type folder and them maybe transfer them to a thumb drive but I have not tried this yet as I'm hoping there is another way to extract the voice memos that iTunes is not seeing that are clearly on my phone.
    I have the new Macbook Air with Yosemite and iTunes 12.1.0.50. Oh and I have not updated my iPhone IOS since 2013 so I'm still on 6.1.3. I plan to update to the most current IOS but I want to make sure my voice memos are saved and don't get hosed in the process

    you have to enable that setting on your itunes. It would be under the music tab when you have your phone plugged in.

  • I can not see all the songs om  my ipod, why

    Boy do I need halp.
    1. I used "computer" windows 7 to delete all the songs on my ipod. BUT they didn't really delete because when I look my ipod in itunes the songs are there.
    2. I had a hard time transfering songs to my ipod so I again used "Computer" and I draged songs from the folder they were in to the ipod. BUT when I look at my ipod in itunes the songs are not listed, BUT there is a large amount of gb listed as other.
    How do I start over?  That is, how do I take EVERYTHING off my ipod; the songs I can and can NOT see.  Remember after i deleted the songs using "computer" the songs are no longer listed but when I check the "disk properties" it shows there is spaced used about the size of the deleted files.
    Thanks

    To start over from scratch, restore the iPod Shuffle to factory settings in iTunes, using the instructions in this Apple support document.
    Restoring iPod shuffle to factory settings
    Then make sure that all the music you wish to sync to your Shuffle has been imported and stored in your iTunes library.  Then use this article to walk you through the process of configuring music to sync to your Shuffle via iTunes.

  • I do not see all photos exist inside a shared photo stream using iPhoto on Mac

    There is a shared photo stream among 5 different users with 125 photos and videos inside. For my account I use 3 different devices to access this photo stream, an iMac, an iPad and an iPhone. All 125 photos appear ok on my iPad and my iPhone. However when I access this stream from iPhoto on my iMac I only see 69 of them. None of the photos I have shared using my accound are there plus some other photos and videos shared by other users. Other users can see all 125 photos in their mobile devices. What is wrong with iPhoto on my iMac?
    Thanks in advance,

    OSX version 10.8.5
    iPhoto version: 9.4.3
    With these versions you cannot see the contents posted on IOS 7.0.4 devices by the persons invited to the stream. You will only be able to see the photos streamed by the owner.
    If you want to see the photos added by the subscribers to the stream, you need to upgrade to Mavericks and iPhoto 9.5.1. Mt. Lion does not support the new shared photo streams of IOS 7.0.4 fully.
    Regards

  • When booting from SSD I cannot see all the files on my HDD

    Hi All,
    I have installed an SSD in my SuperDrive port and made this my default boot drive. I am able to succesfully boot using the SSD with newly installed OS Mavericks. However once I've booted from the SSD my HDD only shows a handful of files but not my Home Folder with the majority of my files. When I restart and select to boot from the HDD I can see all of my files as I should. I can also see the SSD with the OS Mavericks installed. I'd like to boot from the SSD and run all applications from it while simply opening my HDD to view any stored files, music, or pictures. Does anyone know why my HDD isn't showing everything when bootign from the SSD?
    Thanks - JT

    Sorry about wall of text, I did put line breaks in but they seem to have gone awol.
