Share's files and folders are not in order by name

Hello All,
The files and folders in my file share within Server Admin 10.5.3 are listed out of order. They are usually listed in order by name but they are not. They are not even listed by creation, modified, or size; not sure what order they are in. Has anyone seen this before or know why this is happening? BTW...this is an Xsan share.
Thank you!

Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions, test if things work OK in Safe Mode.
Then move these files to the Desktop for now...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
Reboot & test.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

  • Please help! I defragged my hard drive and now Illustrator CS6 is trying to open all of my complex Illustrator files with a "Text Import Options" box as if they are text files, and they are not opening!

    Please help! Illustrator CS6 started trying to open all of my complex.ai files with a "Text Import Options" box as if they were text files, and they are not opening!  Help!

    Hi Monika,
    I have spent the last two or three days trying to do what you suggested.  I uninstalled Adobe 6 from Windows.  Some files that CS6 placed on my system during installation remained, including fonts and .dll files.
    I had to abandon the Cleaner Tool you suggested because in one screen it allowed me to specify removing CS6 only, but on the following screen it only gave on option to remove ALL Adobe programs.  I could not do that because I didn't have the serial number handy for CS3 in case I want to reinstall it at some point.
    I tried to get technical help with the Cleaner Tool problem but no definitive help was available, so I reinstalled CS6 again without having the benefit of the Cleaner Tool.  I tried to get the serial number for CS3 so I could use the Cleaner Tool but spent 2 wasted hours in chat.  Even though I had a customer number, order number, order date, place of purchase, the email address used AND 16 digits of the serial number, in two hours the agent couldn't give me the serial number.  After two hours I had nothing but instructions to wait another 20 minutes for a case number.
    Illustrator CS6 is still trying to open some backups as Text and otherNone of the problems have been fixed.  I have tried to open/use the .ai files in CS6 installed on another system and am getting the same result, so I don't think the software was damaged by the cleaner.  The hard drive cleaner is well-known and I've run it many times without any problem to previous versions of Illustrator or any other programs.
    When I ordered, the sale rep promised good technical support and gave me an 800 number, but after I paid the $2000, I learned that the 800 number she gave me doesn't support CS6 and hangs up on me.  Adobe doesn't call it a current product even though they just sold it to me about 3 weeks ago.
    Would appreciate any help you experts can offer.  If I can't solve this, the last backup I can use was from June and I will have lost HUNDREDS of hours of work and assets that I cannot replace.
    Exhausted and still desperately in need of help...

  • Aperture ate my picture files and they are not recoverable.  The guy at the Genius Bar told me to Trash the App, empty Trash, then go to Purchases and reinstall.  But Purchases says it is "Installed" so it does not let me download it again.  HELP!!!!

    Aperture ate my picture files and they are not recoverable.  The guy at the Genius Bar told me to Trash the App, empty Trash, then go to Purchases and reinstall.  But Purchases says it is "Installed" so it does not let me download it again.  HELP!!!!

    I typed Aperture into Spotlight and sure enough it did show up.
    It looks like it is supposed to be in Apps.
    But it is not there.
    So I clicked on the spotlight Aperture and it opened up the App!!!!
    But I do not know where it is to move it!
    How can I find it?
    While Aperture is running and you are seeing it in the Dock, ctrl-click (or right click) the Dock icon.
    You will see a contextual menu. Click on "Options", then select "Show in Finder".
    And check the "keep in Dock" mark, so you will not lose it from the Dock.

  • Rokr: "Some files and applications are not accessible"

    Help please? When using USB to connect to my ibook the phone gives me this message: "Coneced as Storage Device: Some file and applications are not accessible". I then go to my desktop and search through my phone to find no files not to mention not showing up in iTunes. Could someone please help?

    I am having a similar problem.
    My RoKr was connecting and syncing properly until I performed the latest software upgrade (which upgraded both iTunes and iSync). After the upgrade my phone does not show up either in iTunes or on the desktop. When I plug the phone it indicates that it is connecting as a storage device and some file/applications will not be accessible. However the phone does not appear on the desktop or in iTunes. When I go into iSync the phone is only recognized via bluetooth, the USB connection is not detected.
    I remain tuneless and await a solution...

  • Problems opening files in DW CS4 - not all files and folders are showing

    Hi!
    I'm trying to change some already existing files on the homepage but when I click the Open button, it doesn't show all the files and folders, even if I ask it to show all files. When I open the ftp folder in Explorer, I can see everything. I'm using Vista and Dreamweaver is version 10.0 Build 4117.
    Most of the unaccessible files and folders were created using Frontpage a long time ago but this also happens when I create new files, although the new ones I created used one of the old ones as a template. Any help would be appreciated! It's rather annoying not to be able to access all the files.
    Thanks a lot!
    Mathias.

  • TS4153 few files and folder are not deleting from trash folder

    i am trying to delete all files and folders from the trash folder by clicking  empty securely, but its not deleteing the files anf folder. please suggest how to clean the trash folder by deleteing all the deleted files and folder.

    Securely deleting items in Trash writes Zeros over the data so that it is completely eradicated.
    This will take quit a long time depending on how much data you have in Trash.
    Unless there is data that needs to be rendered unrecoverable in the Trash, you could choose to just delete the files and folders with out the secure option.
    Once you have Emptied the Trash unsecurely you can always use disk utility to Securely Erase Free Space on the Drive.

  • HT201317 My wife deleted my notes files and they are not backed up on icloud.  Is there a way to recover it.

    My wife deleted a note file on iphone4S and it is not backed up in icloud.  Is there a way to reset phone or otherwise to recover this file.

    Notes usually sync with mail accounts- try to sign in online if all accounts that you see when your open notes app and click accounts. Especially in the one that you find when you go to Settings- notes- default accounts. With most accounts sync works one way so when you created notes they were uploaded to mail server and then when deleted on the phone still stay inside of notes folder of your mail server. If your default was icloud notes, they do support two way sync and that means - nothing you can do. Especially if there is no backup.

  • I saved some images to my home file,and they are not there.How can I find them?

    I use ubuntu

    Do you still see these images in the Downloads Manager (Show All Downloads)?
    If they still show there then you can right-click such an image and use "Open Containing Folder" to go to that folder.
    If the file is no longer there then it has been (re)moved.
    If you know the name of the files then you can try a search and possibly also look in the temp folder.

  • Files and Folders do not stay organized on a flash drive? Why?

    Ok, so I don't have any of my icons locked because I like moving them around in a fashion that tends to group them together as well as non-nonsensical organization of ones that I use the most, favorite or whatever.
    So I will organize the folder really nicely, and then close the folder and actually eject the flash drive from the macbook. Then when I go to insert the flash drive again, everything is back to the way it was. How do I fix this?
    Here is a picture for reference of what it looks like every time I come back to it;

    After you arrange them in the Finder Menu, View Options, be sure you have selected "None" or they will be arranged by default.

  • Adding files and folders to TFS

    I have created some folders and files from command prompt tool(extjs). Then i have opened Visual studio 2013, click "view all files" and include all folders and files into project.
    The problem is that when i check in the project to source control, the files and folders are not there.
    CMD creates too many files and folders that I would add each one manually to my project - this way folder is visible in TFS.
    So, how can I add folders and files created outside visual studio to my TFS project?

    Hi!
    You may try the local workspace and promote function: (as example)  http://roadtoalm.com/2013/06/13/using-local-workspaces-promote-excluded-changes-with-tfs-2012-api/

  • How to sort files and folders like Windows

    I don't know if this is specific to Arch or every other Linux distro but one thing that really bugs me in Arch is how files and folders are sorted. I use Windows as my main OS (don't start on that please) and I have one folder properly organized exactly as I want it and I like it how Windows sorts this. I access that same folder from my Arch installation, the problem is that the sorting is different and it gets on my nerves lol...
    This is how Windows sorts that specific folder:
    C:\Users\Nazgulled\Documents\University>dir /O
    Volume in drive C is Vista
    Volume Serial Number is F84E-02BE
    Directory of C:\Users\Nazgulled\Documents\University

    Ah, no. The way they are doing it is nonsensical and not good practice for a unix style system. Having said that, some solutions have already been offered in this thread.
    While you are free to continue to ask others to help you achieve your aims, it may be more convenient for you to adapt to a structure that is displayed the same way under all systems (just to avoid frustration - not saying you _should_ do it ).
    I really don't care if it's nonsensical, I use Windows 95% of the time or more, it's my main OS, I'm used to it and I like it. Why should I care if it's not a good practice for a unix style system? I just want things to behave the way I like and for a free system like Linux where it doesn't even compare to Windows in terms of freedom in what I can do with it and configure the way I like, it sure is hard to change the way folders/files are sorted...
    It sucks that there isn't a proper solution but I'm not going to adapt anything, that would be nonsensical... But if I have to, I can live with the fact that there isn't a good solution and leave it as it is
    Thanks everyone for their input, "topic closed".

  • Can I copy my iTunes files and folders to Time Capsule wirelessly from my PC?

    Can I copy my iTunes files and folders to Time Capsule wirelessly from my PC? I was wondering since my iTunes files and folders are connected to iTunes.

    You can but the TC is the worst possible location. The design is slow to start and quick to stop data connections.. that will cause trouble.
    Moving folders has specific instructions.

    Move it to an external hard disk fine.. but be very sure you will not be happy with the TC as a location.

  • Organizing Files and Folders

    Where can I find basic correct way to organize folders and files on my hard disc? I restored my hard disc using Apple "Backup" and my files and folders are scattered all over with no discernible hierarchy or method. iPhoto, iTunes unable to access files. It's an incredible mess.

    I'm not at all sure I understand what you mean, but here is what you should see if you double click the hard drive icon on your Desktop, then select View->as Columns, and select Users, yourname, Pictures. The items shown are the Apple default folders at each level, until you get to the Pictures folder, which contains the iPhoto Library, the Aperture Library, an iPhoto Slideshow folder, plus two folders I created myself inside the Pictures folder.
    You can create any folders you want inside your own home folder to put things in, and also create any sub-folders you want inside the standard folders in your home to further organize things.

  • Files and folders doesn't show up in Web File Viewer

    Hi all, My first post here, so please bear with me. After I received my EX2 I've been looking for an easy way to provide friends and family with access to my NAS so they can up/download vacation pictures and movies without having to install anything. I've run through this guide: http://community.wd.com/t5/WD-My-Cloud-EX2/Web-Access-using-browser-only/td-p/705824/page/2 (big thanks to Mikey Soft) And after reading this thread: http://community.wd.com/t5/WD-My-Cloud-EX2/Dashboard-Web-File-Viewer/td-p/785671 I got really excited. While logged in as admin, I'm able to do all the stuff I want to under Apps --> Web File Viewer. Browse all folders, up/download, rename, etc. But when I'm logged in as another user, I'm not able to even see the shared folders. There's absolutely nothing under the Web File Viewer tab. It only loads for a short while (please wait shows up) and then the site is blank. (screen shot here:  http://EliNAS.device2284223.wd2go.com:80/api/1.0/rest/file_contents/Public/Shared%20Pictures/Web%20file%20viewer.png?device_user_id=14852387&request_auth_code=b940ac7e734118bcd1dbabdcaf172015986dc32e603c9cc056b89e5663f748f5 ) Could anyone point me in the direction of a fix for this? When trying to login with a non-admin user through the iOS or Android app all shared files and folders are there, so it only seems to be a problem with Web File Viewer.

    Hi there and welcome to the WD community.
    Try to do a system restore on the unit to see if this maked the web file viewer since this should be available on any users dashboard. This link Might help you with the procedure on the unit hope it helps: http://wdc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/10433

  • Canvio DTD21B - how to restore FIles and Folders on a different system

    Hi I'm helping my friend.  We backed up her old laptop's hard drive  to a new Canvio 1Texternal hard drive, but backed up the whole system.  The system is now defunct.  It ran Win 7. This is three weeks later and we have a new 17" Toshiba laptop running WIN 8.1. I can't seem to find a way to restore just her FIles and Folders to the new system.  I do not want to overwrite the Win 8.1 operating system so do not want to do a full restore. Her Files and FOlders are important to her so I would appreciate your adice as to how to restore just that data. I can't find anything in HELP or on this forum that addresses this issue.
