"Refresh" Finder

Hello!
Is there any way to "refresh" (windows term) the finder window? It only happens when using sync software to copy files to my usb key, but I need to eject it and then reinsert the key sometimes for the files to show up. Is there a way to refresh the data?
Thanks.

Amazingly, "Refresh" is the biggest missing feature of the Mac OS X Finder - I think that the reason it's not there is because Finder refreshes so frequently anyway when you're using local discs and AFP that in theory you shouldn't need this, but with things like WebDAV, FTP and SMB, you certainly do - it's frustrating that it's not there.

  • How to refresh find friends app on ipad 3?

    I personally find the find friends app to be brilliant and I understand it doesn't constantly refresh to save battery life. However how do I see people's location in real time (or as close as) for example see somebody driving down a road. Is there some mysterious refresh button that I'm missing?

    You need a third party app. Here is one.

  • 10.6.4: refresh Finder window?????

    I find this unbelievable, but I can't find a way to refresh a Finder window...
    any suggestions? thank you..

    An old thread, but I feel obligated to reply as well.  Alexander is absolutely correct.  It is supremely irritating for someone to ask a specific question and for someone to chime in with "Why do you want to do that?  Do this instead."  In this particular instance, suggesting they close and reopen is a painfully obvious requirement, hence the original request. 
    Whether you have used your Mac for 26 years or 26,000 years and not needed what the OP is asking for is completely irrelavent.  *HE* needs it.  Answer the question or keep it to yourself.  I actually *USE* my Mac and need to refresh all the time.  I have multiple Finder windows open all the time, and am creating directories, shares, copying files and performing all manner of operations - particularly when building websites and managing folders, wiki, etc and having to close out and open the finder window again, and the *navigate back to where you were* is a total PITA.    In Lion, some things automatically refresh - but things like shares and other network resources do not.  Lion also provides for immediate rename-update which is a fantastic feature, but there could still be some improvement.
    My reason for posting, however, it is to support Alexander's statements, and to simply ask people to think first before creating unnecessary churn on the list.

  • Can not refresh contents of finder windows

    I can not get my finder windows to refresh their contents. My picture folder is the one that really bothers me. When I am trying to upload pictures to the internet, the picture folder is never accurate. I have tried the refresh finder apple script, restarting the computer, opening and closing the window, nothing seems to work.
    The content is there, when I search for a specific picture file it is there, but it is not located in the right subfolder. I download and manage my pictures on kodak easyshare.

    Hi there,
    The content is there, when I search for a specific picture file it is there, but it is not located in the right subfolder.
    Hmmm, are you saying something is moving them? Or the Finder isn't opening them to the right folder?
    Have you tried this one...
    http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/10958253
    Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), & use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, reboot once more.
    Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions...
    Move this file to the desktop...

    reboot when it completes.

  • File size in finder ' get info' does not refresh

    I'm moving files about and need to check how large the folders are (in preparation for burning a dvd). 'Get info' is not refreshing the file size (and it's not just enormous folders). I have installed 'Refresh Finder' but it doesn't make any difference. The only way I can see the true file size is by restarting (a pain). What else can I try?

    Yes, Finder can be a bit slow to update. It shouldn't be necessary to restart, though; using the force quit dialogue to relaunch Finder should suffice.
    Press cmd-opt-esc (⌘⌥ esc) to bring up the dialogue, select Finder and click relaunch.

    Hi James,
    As I understand, you want to reset IE 11.
    You could follow the steps below:
    1. Close all Internet Explorer windows that are currently open.
    2. Open the desktop, and then tap or click the Internet Explorer icon on the taskbar. Changing your settings will affect both Internet Explorer and Internet Explorer for the desktop.
    3. Tap or click the Tools button, and then tap or click Internet options.
    4. Tap or Click the Advanced tab, and then tap or click Reset.
    5. In the Reset Internet Explorer Settings dialog box, tap or click Reset.
    6. When Internet Explorer finishes applying default settings, tap or click Close, and then tap or click OK.
    You'll need to restart your PC for these changes to take effect.
    The article below is about Change or reset Internet Explorer settings
    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/reset-ie-settings#ie=ie-11
    About the issue that you cannot open "Open in Excel" & "Data Refresh", "Find" in IE 11. You could also add the SharePoint site to the trust site in IE 11 to check if it can work. (go to tools button in IE 11->internet
    options->security tab->trusted sites->sites->add site)

  • Finder cannot be found

    My finder will not open, and when I refresh finder, I get the message'"an error of type 8 has occurred."
    Can anyone help...

    Doing a tail -f /var/log/system.log showed no new entries when I tried to launch Finder. Similarly, bringing up Console with "All Messages" also brings up nothing when I try to launch finder.
    Now, doing a ls -l of /System/Library/CoreServices brings up this gem:
    -rwxr-xr-x@ 1 root wheel 0 Sep 23 2007 Finder
    There's also no Finder.app in there.
    locate Finder.app | egrep -v -i "Path Finder"
    gives nothing as well.
    I now know how the Windows people I've met feel when some bright management-type has deleted explorer.exe. However, I don't really fit into any of those categories, and I'm a bit unsettled about this all being a regular security update.
    So, then, where would I go find Finder.app, or is it supposed to be just a symlink to something else? I've got a PPC iMac running 10.4, but I'd suspect that I can't JUST copy the directory on over without borking something.

  • Modified files on NAS do not update in finder

    We have four mac pros running 10.7.5 with final cut studio.  Our media is on a NAS that all four systems access.  We have a problem when we rename files on one system and the changes do not show up on the other three systems.  The only work around we have found is to restart the mac.  We just tried an application found online called "Refresh Finder" that got very positive reviews but that doesn't seem to do anything (or it's being installed and used incorrectly).  Does anybody have suggestions on how to solve this problem.  It would be a big help.
    Thanks,

    The Time Capsule is for your backups.
    Three things....all bad...happen when you try to move the iTunes Media Folder to the Time Capsule disk.
    1) Access to media becomes much slower....typically 15-20 seconds before you will hear the song that you selected.
    2) The iTunes Media Folder tends to get lost, so you will have to manually reset the path to the folder frequently.
    3) When.....not if....the Time Capsule disk has a problem, you will lose all of your iTunes data.....because you have no backup of the ITunes Media Folder.
    I've learned each of these things the hard way. If you still want to do this.....here are the instructions:

  • Personal File Sharing & Network in the Sidebar

    I have had the same symptoms as other posts; but the real answer was not given, YET.
    If you use the Network icon in the Sidebar, and you move between networks, Where or How do you Refresh the Finder? Rebooting or Shutdown is not the answer. Windows Networking on PCs allows for Refreshing, why not OS X?
    My Senario: iMac G5 1.9 & iBook G4 1.33, both 10.4.10, no broadband, I share via Ad-Hoc. Both connect and IP given 169.x.x.x.
    iBook will see iMac via Finder>Network Sidebar after about 5 seconds. iMac will not see iBook via Finder>Network Sidebar. Both have Network and Sharing set the same.
    Using CMD+k, entering IP will bring up Authenticate window, which is fine, but DHCP is on, and the IP changes each time. Want Finder>Network to find the computer for me.
    Using ShiftCMDK, on iBook, sometimes opens the Network Finder window, most times it never opens. (when at home)
    iBook goes to hot-spots and when I come home, I want to off-load files to the iMac. The Network Sidebar remembers the last Network you were connected to with a list of all the computers you could connect to; I sleep the iBook.
    Is there a terminal command to Refresh the Network without rebooting?
    Big tip: I found an old Apple Article which states;
    "The Local Hostname for your computer is an alternative to the network address. It is followed by ".local". Users on the same network subnet as your computer can use the Local Hostname name to access certain resources on your computer, such as your personal website. If you work in a large network environment, users on a different IP subnet cannot use the Local Hostname name of your computer."
    So, if you use CMD+k while on your LAN and use "nnn.local" for the IP, you get the Authenticate window. This works fine, both machines can do this all day; But, still does not answer nor solve the question...
    How do you Refresh Finder>Network ?!?!?
    iMac G5 17-inch 1.9GHz SuperDrive (iSight)   Mac OS X (10.4.10)   1.5GB RAM

    Is there a terminal command to Refresh the Network without rebooting?
    Couple of things that Might work...
    sudo ipconfig set en0 BOOTP;sudo ipconfig set en0 DHCP
    sudo ifocnfig en1 down
    sudo ifconfig en1 up
    (use en0 for Ethernet, en1 for Airport, etc.)
    But making a New Location for each place would probably work best/easiest. You can tailor each location to it's needs.

  • A few rants in one place - Nokia / S60 3rd Ed issu...

    Hi,
    Having owned several Nokia Series 60 phones from a 6600 to my current N95, I feel it's time to ask for a few changes to be made. Can someone from Nokia please pass this on to development:
    1) Music
    Why can't the music player be restricted to scanning only certain folders or be told not to scan the phone. I have ringtones on the handset and music on the card and Music player refresh finds all and I get a messy list of artists/albums/genres
    2) Gallery (Images & Videos)
    Why can't gallery be tailored to only scan certain folders. I have had to remove all my tomtom POIs cos gallery shows me all the little bmp files and this gets up my nose
    3) Contacts
    If I open contacts and highlight a contact and then select options->send message, when I am done, contacts has closed. If however, I open a contact, highlight the number to dial and either select options->voice call or press the green call key, when the call ends, contacts is still open in background. The next time I want to use a contact, I open contacts and I have to press the back key as the last contact used is presented on screen. I hate inconsistency
    4) Active standby
    Why am I informed of daily events on the day they occur but am informed of appointments a week before they occur
    Why can I not turn off the search and wlan scanning lines in active standby? I never use them and they get in the way of useful pim entries
    5) Outlook synching
    Why do events that repeat annually synch ok (as anniversaries) but ones that repeat monthly (1st sat of each month) do not
    6) Slide and calls (N95)
    Why is there no option to end a call using the slide? I have to use a bit of freeware to accomplish this (not the end of the world but...)
    7) Standard power saver
    Who can read the small date/time power saver. Again I have to use another bit of freeware to be able to read it - why not a font size option?
    8) GPS
    Can the internal GPS receiver be internally linked to a pseudo bluetooth device so tomtom can see it. Tomtom uses no data whereas MAPS is pretty useless without network access for data and I do not have an inclusive data plan
    These S60 phones and especially the N95 are brilliant but would be even better if someone fixed these annoyances, in my oppinion that is.
    Thank you for your time.
    Regards,
    Brian.

    might be a bit late with this one, but i agree with most of your rants, but i can help with the tom tom.
    someone developed some software which simulates an external gps using the internal device and you run it in conjunction with Tom Tom. Cant get the program to run with my 6220 classic, but im assured it works fine with the n95 and phones with the same software and below.
    Its not illegal stuff or modifying anything to do with the phone and its free, so im hoping this post wont get deleted.
    its called GPSd (google GPSd internal bluetooth and it should bring up lots of hits). cant remember where i got it from, but if you cant find it, ill send you the version i have

  • Sequential Instantiation of BPEL instances for a BPEL process

    Hi,
    We are using Oracle SOA 10.1.3.4 & AIA2.5. We have a situation where the instances of a particular bpel process have to be executed in sequence. Also, the new instance should NOT be instantiated unless the previous instance is completed.
    For example.. Lets say a SyncBPELReqABCS is invoking SyncBPELProvABCS via ESB. SyncBPELReqABCS is looping and spawning multiple instances of SyncBPELProvABCS in a certain sequential order in Asynchronous Fire-and-Forget model. Lets say bpel-instance#1, bpel-instance#2 and bpel-instance#3 are instances of SyncBPELProvABCS process. Even though SyncBPELReqABCS invokes (spawns) SyncBPELProvABCS in a fire and forget model, the bpel-instance#2 should not begin unless bpel-instance#1 is completed and bpel-instance#3 shuld not begin unless bpel-instance#2 is completed. This is because there is a dependancy between instacnes of SyncBPELProvABCS process.
    Can this be achieved in Oracle SOA?? Can we restrict the instacnes of SyncBPELProvABCS to be created in this manner?
    This is similar to "incompatability" of concurrent programs in ORACLE EBusiness Suite where one concurrent program waits till another concurrent program completes.
    Please let me know if I am not clear. Appreciate an immediate help!
    Thanks,

    Hello,
    Now that I look back at this tread, I can see that the questions I was asking and those of the original poster were somewhat different.
    But they both fall under the heading of "Sequential Instantiation of BPEL instances for a BPEL process", and so I thought I would post some findings we've come across regarding that topic here.
    There were a couple steps that helped us achieve the behavior we were looking for, and the were...
    1) Change the BPEL oneWayDeliveryPolicy from "async.persist" to "sync"
    This can be done in a couple locations. The first is within the EM application that comes bundled with SOA 11g, and the place to go is:EM > [farm name] > SOA > soa-infra (right click) > SOA Administration > BPEL Properties > More BPEL Configuration Properties > OneWayDeliveryPolicyOnce that value has been changed to "sync" (without the quotes), you'll need to stop and start the managed servers that run your SOA instance(s).
    As you might expect, making a change at the "server level" like this impacts the default behavior of all composites deployed within your SOA instance. The second place to make this change - within the deployment descriptors for your BPEL process - impacts only the BPEL process that is being modified. To make the change at this level, you would edit your project's composite.xml file and, for each BPEL component, specify:  <component name="BPELProcess1" version="2.0">
        <implementation.bpel src="BPELProcess1.bpel"/>
        <property name="bpel.config.oneWayDeliveryPolicy">sync</property>
        <property name="bpel.config.transaction">required</property>
      </component>What does this change do? Well, I don't claim to have a complete understanding, but in theory it prevents a thread handoff from taking place between the service that is initiates your BPEL process (like a receive) and the actual BPEL engine thread that processes the request.
    In our case, where calls between (and within) composites were all of the synchronous "fire and forget" variety, this change also caused the entire processing of a message (across three different composites) to happen in a single thread (each message handoff was one-way, and with the oneWayDeliveryPolicy set to "sync", each was handled in a synchronous manner).
    This also seemed to have the effect of serializing our message processing. For example, in a test case where a BPEL process reads from a JMS queue and 250 messages are enqueued, with the oneWayDeliveryPolicy set to "async.persist", I'd typically go in to EM and, on each refresh, find 5-8 instances of the composite that processes those messages to be in a "Running" state. Once the change to "sync" was made, I'd only see at most only 2 (where one had actually already finished; the audit system just hadn't yet caught up to that fact yet).
    This also means that, with a "sync" delivery policy, messages (at least in our environment) are processed more slowly, but that was ok with us as we were more concerned with the behavior than the speed.
    For details on this and other BPEL deployment descriptor properties, see:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17904_01/integration.1111/e10224/bp_app_deploydesc.htm
    Also, it's important to note that making the above change will alter the boundaries of your transactions as well as how faults are propagated. For more details, see:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17904_01/integration.1111/e10224/soa_transactions.htm
    2) Front BPEL process with a Mediator object and enable message resequencing
    While we're using the above change as a standard practice in our environment, this second change has only been nominally tested - but it could be of interest and so I'll mention it here.
    Once you've updated your composite to include a mediator object in front of your BPEL process (if there isn't one there already), edit the .mplan for your mediator and change the "Resequence Level" from the default value of "operations" to "component". Then change the "Resequence Mode" from "off" to "FIFO" and specify an X-Path expression by which the mediator will be able to group your messages. This will help ensure that the messages are being processed in the order you expect.
    More information about resequencing within the mediator component can be found:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/integration.1111/e10224/med_resequencer.htm
    Hopefully the above information is useful - if not for the original poster, then for someone who comes along later with similar questions.

  • All programs using 100% CPU, freezing, crashing, -10810, -600, and -1712 errors

    Okay, so. I have a Macbook Pro from December 2012, a little over a year old.
    Version 10.9.1, running Mavericks
    Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7
    Memory 8 GB
    Startup Disk - Macintosh HD
    I can send more info if I need to. I'm a graphic designer using Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign usually simultaneously, as well as Spotify, Messages, Sparrow (mail), Stickies, Tweetdeck, and Evernote. I also use a wireless mouse, drawing tablet, and second screen. This has never been a problem (I mean, my old computer had 4 GB memory and handled these programs just fine, except for Final Cut Pro 7) up until recently.
    For the last two months, my computer has been seriously out of whack.
    I'm constantly having to refresh finder
    Every time I open Google Chrome, all of my extentions crash immediately and any website I try to go to is extremely sluggish (but Safari works)
    The dock freezes
    Constant error messages: 1712, 10810, 600
    Audio fails randomly
    Overall, the problem seems to be that I can't do more than one thing at a time -- I can't take a screenshot if more than two programs are open, I can't open DMG files, I can't open Spotify if any Creative Suite program is open. I've been watching the activity monitor, and it seems like each program is trying to use 100% CPU, which doesn't seem right. I have to close every program to work in Photoshop, which makes me miss calls and emails.
    I've tried restarting in safe mode, verifiyng the disk and repairing permissions, I used time capsule to restore to a time before it was happening, and restored my user profile in Chrome. I'm at my complete wit's end trying to figure this out! I feel like my next step is to just reinstall my OS completely, but that would be a major setback for getting my work done, and I'm not even sure that would work.
    I've looked on other forums and it seems like the Mail app typically causes problems, but I don't even use it, I use Sparrow.
    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE HELP

    Launch error -10810 in Mavericks
    I have the same issue since a couple of days. Nothing that I found in the community (rebuilding launch info using Onyx or manually deleting the apple.com-launch prefs) has helped me so far. Only some apps are affected (PasswordWallet 4.7.4 among them).
    I can launch it once and it will run fine as long as it’s open. Next time it refuses to open displaying the error -10810 message instead. I trash the app and use a fresh one off the vendor’s dmg file I downloaded and the sequence repeats.

    I dont think standard settings are there for your requirement and there doesnot seem any requirement for the filter,ascending buttons, as you pull purchase documents through selection variant, where you define range and filter the documents there and can just pull the required document of there, so why give extra buttons in document overview screen.

Maybe you are looking for
