Since you've posted in a OES-related forum and reference NSS and "Suse
11 SP2" can I check which version of OES you're using. Please post the
output from "cat /etc/*release".
It would also be useful if you could confirm how up-to-date your server
is regarding patches.

Accessing XServe shows empty folders until I restart my machine

I access an XServe in the company I work for but will continually see empty folders on the server. But, if I restart my computer and re-connect, I can then see the data in the folders (same login creds). This will happen without warning in the middle of the day. Not logging out, etc...
This is from a MacPro 10.5.2, XServe 10.4.11 I believe.
No one else that I'm aware of has this issue.
Thank you for any help regarding this.

What protocol do you use to connect to the XServe (NFS, SMB, AFP)?
Also, if you open a Terminal window and "cd" to a folder on the XServe, and type "ls", can you see the contents of that directory?

Panel Volumes show as folders, used to be individual top level hierarchy

In previous LR's I had the various volumes represented individually in the left panel the way "Xena" is below. Now it looks like this:
It used to have each volume represented the way "Xena" is above so that "A_Gmini500", "B_Gmini500", D_FotoAssignments" etc. were each represented in the same way as "Xena" as a separate box or button. I want them all to be the style that "Xena" is .
Is that possible? How do you change it?
Thanks very much for any clues.

Hmm. When I promoted the folder "Volumes" they disappeared like this:
Command z got them back, no worries. The folders inside volumes (the actual hard drives) do not have the option to control click> Promote Subfolders.
Any other clues? Thanks.

Invalid descriptor error when trying to access nss volums

Hi everyone,
sorry for my english, when some users try to access shared nss volumes they get this error " invalid descriptor", but other folders are accessible at the same level.
users are on windows 7 and the last novell client.
thanks

Since you reference Novell Client I'm thinking that you're not using
Novell's Dynamic File Services product[1] which is what this forum is
for. If that is the case then you should repost in a more appropriate
forum, depending on whether you're using Open Enterprise Server (OES) or
NetWare.

After Update, cannot delete files from nss volumes

Not sure if this is the same problem caused by the SLES11 upgrade, but after running all the upgrades on an OES11 system, I can see all the nss volumes of the upgraded servers from workstations using the Novell client, and I can copy or create files on these volumes. However, I cannot delete any files, they disappear from the workstation windows explorer when they are "deleted", but an f5 promptly shows the files are still there. I can go into the server as root, and delete the files under Linux with no problems, so this part is working OK.
I am running Novell 11.1 patch 1, and this problem has only been noticeable after the update installation.
I have supervisor rights to the volumes and files, and if I additionally set all the other file rights, I am still unable to delete the files.
Anyone got any ideas?
Cheers.

I had a similar problem at updating with SP3 on SP4. It was similar, that permission ERASE is not applied to all trustees working through ncp in spite of the fact that it was available.
Has solved a problem that has redefined this permission for trustees on all catalogues.

My trash can shows empty and other issues with it...

Ok basically, if i delete anything on my mac it should go to my trash can right?
Well i have a few problems with that as follows:
1. Everytime i delete something or move something to the trash it asks me to enter my password everytime, then deletes it, this never used to happen and now all of a sudden it does, this started just before the latest lion update and ive tried everything i know to stop it doing it but failed.
2. When i do delete something, the trash can shows empty on my desktop, and when i open the trash there is nothing inside, so im not able to restore anything if required, so basically if i move anything to trash it just gets permanently deleted instead of storing it in trash first, again this started just before the latest lion update.
I was hoping the update would fix this issue but didnt change it what so ever, i have also tried repairing disk permissions and still no change.
Any ideas on what i can do to fix these problems? Im still new to mac so i dont know all the ins and outs, but any help on this would be appreciated.
Cheers all,
Carl

Boot from your recovery partition by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the recovery desktop appears, select Utilities ▹ Terminal from the menu bar.
In the Terminal window, enter “resetpassword” (without the quotes) and press return. A Reset Password window opens.
Select your boot volume if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select  ▹ Restart from the menu bar.

Strange directory behaviour on NSS volume OES11 SP1

Hi All,
A couple of months ago we installed an OES11 SP1 server with an NSS volume (VOL1:) for all our installation files.
In the root of the VOL1: volume, we created a directory named _Install (yes, underscore)
In this directory we created a lot of subdirectories with installation files for several applications, to keep things short, let's say DIR-A, DIR-B, DIR-C DIR-D DIR-E etc.
So if we opened VOL1:, we just saw the _Install direcory in the root of VOL1:, and if we opened the _Install directory, we saw the DIR-A, DIR-B etc.
But today, we opened the VOL1:, saw, the _Install directory, but also the DIR-A, DIR-B, DIR-C etc. in the folowing manner:
_Install (normal)
_Install\DIR-A
_Install\DIR-B
_Install\DIR-C
etc.
If we doubleclick on one of the directories in the root of VOL1:, we actually open the directory below the _Install directory. It's just like we have a kind of symbolic links, or shortcut's to the real directories in our root.
Never seen this before.
Anybody a clue for this?
regards,
Mark

Having seen your other replies, you're opening VOL1: in Windows Explorer?
What do you see if you do a DIR from a Command Prompt window?

How do I remove expand / collapse icon for JTree empty folders

Hi
I am using a JTree as a file system browser. I use DefaultMutableTreeNode nodes.
I have a problem with empty folders.
Empty folders show the expand / collapse icon, leading the user to believe there are sub-directories. When the user double-clicks the folder, the expand / collapse icon goes away. This is a "haha-gotcha" glitch that I really don't want my users to have to continually deal with.
So, how might I get my JTree to not show the expand / collapse icon for empty folders?
Thanks
Wayne

Maybe I can use the FileSystemView isTraversable(File f) method in my TreeCellRenderer class to check if anything is in the directory.
But I still need to know how to disable the expand / collapse icon for such a node.

How do I search for and remove empty folders?

I would love any help. I've spent about 6 hours yesterday looking for a solution for this project...
PROBLEM:
I'm trying to organize a 6GB file library of sheet music documents.
After using Gemini to find and delete duplicate files, I'm left with hundreds of empty folders and files spread across the folders in odd locations.
How do I find and delete all the empty folders?
My hope is to remove all the empty folders and then manually reorganize the files.
This will probably take quite a few hours.
Here is an example of the mess. The folders currently look something like this:
Music Library 1 > Kids Songs > Easy > Empty Folder
Music Library 2 > Kids Songs > Easy > "Ode To Joy.mus" and other files are here
Music Library 3 > Kids Songs > Intermediate > Intermediate songs files are here
A better / larger question might be - What is the best way to organize this mess?
Is there a good file manager for organizing these documents? We run a music school and are trying to set it up for multiple teachers to organize their files and sort by a few different tags like: Difficulty, Genre, Teacher Name, Composer name etc.
Thank you so much for any help!

I'm afraid the ability to find empty folders is a wee bit complicated, and quite simply is completely broken in Mavericks. Just because a folder appears to be empty, doesn't mean that it is--if it was ever opened it will have an invisible .DS-Store file inside. For instance, in Snow Leopard if I do a search on the Desktop folder for Kind is Folder, plus Number of Items is less than two, I get two folders, both are empty but one I just created and never opened, and the other I created some time ago and later tossed the contents, which means that it has a .DS-Store file. Both show "No Items" in Icon view. If I modify the Number of Items to "equals 0" only the newly created and unopened folder "empty" shows up. If I try the same thing in Mavericks I get no sensible results at all in any set of search parameters.
The moderator at Houdah Software reports: "Spotlight on Mavericks reports a value of 1 for "Number of Items" (kMDItemFSNodeCount) for all folders." He says he has reported it as a bug. Evidently it is not yet fixed.

Folders and duplicates everywhere; empty folders... a mess in the Library

I am tired of iPhoto's difficulty to use as soon as you modify pix and try to move pix from a computer to another.
It creates tones of duplicates files, empty folders and doesn't even recognize px it already imported.
I have the same pix floating everywhere.
THen i tried to delete some folders and files and some pix are now 'offline'.
Any trik other than don't mess with iPhoto, don't modify your pix and don't move them from one computer to the other one.
Help!

iPhoto is a database. Think of it this way. When you use iPhoto it's like hiring a filing clerk and giving them your shoe box full of photos. "Take these and sort them out so that when I ask for one, you can give it to me, and fast." So the Clerk sets up his filing structure, then goes home for the evening and you go into the filing cabinets and move things around. Next morning, it is any wonder that the Clerk can't find things?
So here's tip one: It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss.
You do everything you need to do via the iPhoto Window - and the good news is that everything you need to do can be done from there. So, ignore the iPhoto Library Folder. There are no user serviceable parts in there.
Want to access a file: There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
To upload to MySpace or any site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser. Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
Also, for 10.5 users: If you use the extended Open or Attach dialogue (with Column View) you can scroll to the bottom of the Shortcuts and find the Media browser there. Select any pic you want from there.
Want to use a photo editor? You can set Photoshop (or any image editor)as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically.
FYI: This might explain how the iPhoto Library Folder is laid out: A Note about the iPhoto Library Folder:
In this folder there are various files, which are the Library itself and some ancillary files. Then you have three folders
Originals are the photos as they were downloaded from your camera or scanner.
(ii) Modified contains edited pics, shots that you have cropped, rotated or changed in any way.
This allows the Photos -> Revert to Original command - very useful if you don't like the changes you've made.
(iii) Data holds the thumbnails the the app needs to show you the photos in the iPhoto Window.

Deleting Empty Folders from Library

When I first got Lightroom I uploaded a random bunch of folders of images. Now I wish to upload everything (which I have put into a single folder) so that I can retain the hierarchy of folders within folders that I have developed for storing my work on a dedicated hard drive.
I therefore selected all of these random folders of images and removed them from the Library (it took 45 minutes). But now I find that while all of the image files have been removed, all of the empty folders that contained them are left in the "Folders" folder in the library.
My question is, how can I remove all of these empty folders prior to uploading my hierarchical folders of files? In other words, how can I start over again from scratch? (I have upgraded to Lightroom 1.1)
Thank you.

Thank you all for your suggestions. What I finally did was to right-click, as suggested by Mel, on each folder (it wouldn't work for me when I selected them all) and select "delete" from the resulting drop-down menu. It took awhile, as there were a lot of the buggers, but now I'm clean and ready to go!
Again, thanks.

Finder only shows root folders, no folders or files within those

2010 Mac mini. For some reason, Finder now only shows root folders such as Music, Library, Movies, Pictures, Downloads, Documents, etc.
But when I open those folders, there is nothing contained INSIDE them. They appear empty.
I know there ARE files and folders inside of these, but for some reason they do not show.
I can navigate to these files via Terminal without issue.
Where did all my folders and files go in Finder and why are they not showing?
FYI, Finder shows a spinning wheel of dashes in the bottom right constantly.

I diagnosed the problem to using autofs. I have edited my /etc/fstab file to have a couple of afp entries, but when these shares are not available, it hangs the Finder on the computer the Mac mini. Why is this? I thought the whole reason to use autofs and the fstab file was to automount shares WHEN AVAILABLE.
Any insight to this behavior of autofs?
