Shared folders slow to load in Finder

Been having this issue on multiple Macs in our office here. Many of us share folders on our machines for others to access on our network regularly. When the local user tries to open one of these shared folders, it will take considerably longer than others to load and show files. Example: Opening a non-shared folder will load and display nearly instantaneously. A shared folder will cause Finder to hang for 15-30 seconds before showing the contents. Once open, it will respond normally, but entering any subfolders will cause the same slow down.
We've tried repairing permissions multiple times with no improvements. The only solution seems to be to turn off sharing for these folders, which is not ideal. Any ideas?

I'm having similar issues, but with almost all previews. It's made using the finder almost impossible lately. It seems to work just snappy if I change the view to icon or list before I click on an files, but I really got used to working in the column view. I'm searching the forums now for more info.

Preview images slow to load in Finder

I've just upgraded from 10.2.8 to 10.4.6 and I'm having a bothersome issue with the preview images in Finder loading very slowly. This is most noticable with large high res Photoshop files. Why is this happening and is there a fix?
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

File icons missing/slow to load in Finder

I've noticed this on both of my Macs running 10.10.2. Quite frequently, the usual icons next to files are initially missing and sometimes will eventually load.
This is true for zip files, mp3 files, and application files specific to a certain app but the issues seems random and not related to any specific file types.
Does anybody know of a fix so that the icons are immediately visible as they have been in every previous version of OS X? I'll attach an image where you can see only one .zip file icon appears, and a bunch are missing as well as a .jpg icon

bump?

Slow, generally slow to Load, most any software

Don't get me wrong, I love the iMAC and am glad to have made the change, what, three years ago, but I must say that I am feeling like I just do not know how to run this computer. Everything seems slow to load, even finder, at the speed of a steam engine. Excel - 20 seconds, Word - sometimes longer, even Finder takes 5 to 10 seconds to load and don't get me started on Adobe products - is that just the way it is with the iMAC - slow? what can I do?

First, would you please provide more specific information in your profile, such as exact model, and the OS version (are you really on 10.5.1???).
If you're on 10.5.1, you should update to the most current: 10.5.8 - BUT, not until we figure out why yours is so slow.
How large is your hard drive and how much space is still available (free)? The OS needs a minimum of 10 - 15% free at all times to operate properly, so your hard drive may be getting too full. In that case, move some space hogging files such as videos, pics, etc. to an external hard drive.
How much RAM do you have?
Check Activity Monitor (Applications -> Utilities) and report the stats under memory: free, used, page ins/page outs. Not enough RAM will result in too much swapping which may result in slow downs.
Do you regularly empty browser caches, history, etc? If not, do so please.
Do you run Repair Permissions after installing any software and/or updates? Go to Disk Utility in Applications -> Utilities and run it.
After checking and doing that, please report back.

Safari is extremely slow to load pages & saving my bookmarks to my folders

why is safari so extremely slow in loading pages? it can just about load my e-mail, if I wait about 5 minutes & I cannot check my t mobile cell phone balance because it gets stuck loading the page.
Also I cannot get it to save bookmarks into my designated named bookmark folders anymore, it only will save to the bookmarks bar

I have also heard about the cover flow feature, but I do not see it in my safari, where is it?
Look at this picture and you'll find it. Just click on the marked area/button.

So slow listing network shared folders and drives.

Hi!!
I'm reporting a very slow connection between my MacBook Pro 13" (snow leopard) and my MacPro 8 core (leopard). When I try to reach the macpro in finder (shared) passed 1 or 2 minutes until the system ask me user/pass, then show me the list of my shared folders and drives. Navigating through them is ok, ut when I return to the main list, SnowLeopard again waits 1 minutes or 2 to show. Before, the main list always remain there.
Any help??

Same sort of problem here. Screen Sharing also doesn't work.
Pretty sure it's DNS, as if I temporarily remove my router from the equation (by, say, using a manual IP address instead of DHCP on the machines and leaving DNS blank) everything works and is instant - except of course for the internet. Put it back to DHCP (which uses the router for DNS) and it's slow again (and screen sharing doesn't work at all).
However, OpenDNS hasn't helped (probably because it's a private address range?)
The network is 192.168.0.0/24 with gateway and DNS server 192.168.0.1, which is a Draytek Vigor 2600G ADSL router.
This has only happened recently, I guess Snow Leopard or one of its updates has forced reverse DNS lookups for everything.
As I understand it, AFP is supposed to use Bonjour for hostnames ending in .local and bypass DNS altogether, but despite checking that they end in .local (an automatic thing) in System Preferences it doesn't seem to do this any more.
Any way to turn off these reverse DNS lookups?

Recently downloaded Mac OS X Mavericks and Safari has become noticeably less responsive; slow to load web pages. Also, when Safari is open, the Finder randomly comes to the front. Any ideas?

Recently downloaded Mac OS X Mavericks and Safari has become noticeably less responsive; slow to load web pages. Also, when Safari is open, the Finder randomly comes to the front. Any ideas?

In fact, I am runing some plug-ins: ClickToPlugin (Flash blocker), Collusion and Disconnect.
There is quite a history of new versions of Safari breaking third-party plug-ins/extensions becasue the plug developer did not have an updated version available by the time the new Safari version dropped. What you report--worked fne before but won't now--is exactly what history says happens in such a case.
First, turn off all third-party stuff and see if Safari smooths out. Alternatively, create a new user account and, from there, test Safari in its native state with nothing added. That is a good diagnostic to see if the issue is a plug or extension.
If either of those helps, check for updates to the add-ons. If the developer is slow in reacting to the updated Safari version, (not unheard of), stop using that extension until an update is available.

Is there a FIND search filter for SHARED folders?

I believe Archiving will only archive the users emails not any messages displayed in a shared folder.
But when I do a FIND search by date, I still see all those messages from shared folders that other users own.
Is there a FIND search filter for SHARED folders?
Further is there a way to differentiate or filter in a FIND search for shared folders that only I own, or shared folders that are owned by other people?

The archiving process isn't "allowed" to move messages from folders that are
owned by others. This is a different matter altogether. Archiving systems
typically use either IMAP or SOAP for their access, and cannot access folders
shared by other users (Nexic Discovery is different in this if you use the API
version of it, because it can see shared folders, and will archive if you
request it).
You are comparing apples and oranges unfortunately, and the client was built to
be able to manage shared folders unlike the archiving program.
As Michael says, you can choose to not "look in" shared folders if you do not
want them to show up in a find results.

Server 2008R2 mapping to shared folders fails users of Windows 8.1 but seems OK on Windos 8.0 and no problems for Windows 7

Having read what I could from the related questions, the answers still elude me. This issue apparently is specific to Windows 8.1.
First, a little background.
1: The server is not on a domain, The system runs Server 2008-R2 standard with all folders shared across a standard "Workgroup" type network. They would prefer to
leave this layout intact.
2: The shared folders are nothing but Data files. There are no active system folders or anything used in an "active" environment. They are mostly Word doc, excel
files, pdf, txt, etc. However, due to the requirements of the software that needs to access these files, they Must
reside on a mapped network drive letter. Nothing else works due to the way the SQL database program stores the reference points back to the data.
I have had some success using what amounts to a “simulated” mapping using WebDAV to access the server. But access speed is a lot slower ad file size is limited.
3: The system has been configured as-is for the past 3 years with Users all on Windows 7 x64 (mixed OS, some Home Premium, some Professional) and the only problems that come up are when
access is through an ISP that blocks port 445. This was the original reason for finding a WebDAV/Cloud method just for those Users since they were unable to Map drives to anything on the Office Servers from their Home Internet even when using a VPN.
When Windows 8.0 became the only version available, I added a few users whose new laptops came with 8.0 from the vendors. While there were a very few minor problems, for all practical
purposes, I was still able to provide access to the mapped folders.
As the Windows 8.1 roll-out progressed, some users were successfully upgraded while others are still stuck in Windows 8.0. The issues with this seem to be hardware related and vary
depending on the Make and model of the laptop. I have been assured that eventually all of these will be able to advance to 8.1. But this delay has given me an excellent mixed OS environment for testing.
On the users who have not yet purchased new equipment and who are still using Windows 7. There has been no change. Their drive mapping is stable and they can always connect as usual.
Those blocked from lack of port 445 or still blocked. Systems inside the Office and those with ISP's who allow port 445 can use all mapped drives as normal.
Users who had Windows 8.0 and who have not yet been able to upgrade to 8.1 also have been unaffected. Same results as Windows 7.
Users who got the Windows 8.1 upgrade as well as those that came factory loaded with Windows 8.1 seem to be a never-ending list of problems. The ones that came native with 8.1 are worst
of all. The list of error codes runs through everything that has to do with “communication with the server”. As far as I have seen, this appears to be the issue.
Whether they are in the office on a wired network connection or at home on a Wi-Fi connection, the issues have the same results but the actual error codes may vary slightly. All of
them refer back to an inability to communicate with the server.
Nothing on the server has changed in any way. Users with Windows 7 continue to have zero problems, Users with Windows 8.0 seem to be doing fine as well. Only those with Windows
8.1 are affected and their problems are dramatic with everything from a total loss of drive mapping to misdirected data when the maps are active.
I have tried to make the drives automatically remap on reboot. I have tried registry modifications. I have done everything I can think of to make a difference but the results are the same
for every system using 8.1. The mapped drive letters invariably disappear. Sometimes while the system is in use ( I think I have been able to trace this to times when the system enters Sleep or Hibernate) but always when the system reboots.
One detail that might point to somewhere is that the "time to connect" when mapping the drive is so long that I believe some of the original failures were due to not waiting for a
minimum of 3 or 4 minutes to give time for the Shares to show-up in order to map them. Once the mapping is successful, the file access speed seems normal. But invariably, the drive becomes "unmapped" repeatedly each day.
I know this was a long question but I have tried to provide every possible detail for anyone who has experienced events like this who may already have a solution. I would even be glad
to purchase a 3rd party application if that is what it takes to get this to work. My next planned effort is to try using Server 2013 but I am afraid that might open another can of worms for those who still use Windows 7.
I have also been told that this is in some way related to the push to "Cloud" support in Windows 8.1 OS but I do not see where this would come in. I can say that this was the
one place where things continued to work as before. People who had Windows 8.1 and who had to use the CLOUD copies of our data are still able to connect to it with no problems.
Any suggestions appreciated. Preferably those that would not need extensive changes to the basic network structure. This "workgroup" consists of less than 25 users and any
extreme measures would be hard to justify

Hi，
I sugget you try to ping server so that we can verify the connectivity.
Can windows 8.1 access Windows Server 2008R2?
Also,please check the event viewer to see if some error log appeared when the issue occurred.

Application Slow To Load

Hello:
OK - in the first 24 hour period I've been using Mavericks - the following has been slow to load:
Firefox
Thunderbird - also slow to react during use.
Also, the desktop is taking a bit longer to fully load.
I do have some third party software installed: AVG Anti Virus, TotalFinder
Is what I've discribed normal for Mavericks?
Thanks

1. This is a comment on what you should—and should not—do to protect yourself from malicious software ("malware") that circulates on the Internet and gets onto a computer as an unintended consequence of the user's actions. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the computer, or who has been able to log in to it remotely. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it.
If you find this comment too long or too technical, read only sections 5, 6, and 10.
OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user. Internally Apple calls it "XProtect."
The malware recognition database used by XProtect is automatically updated; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
The following caveats apply to XProtect:
It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
As new versions of OS X are released, it's not clear whether Apple will indefinitely continue to maintain the XProtect database of older versions such as 10.6. The security of obsolete system versions may eventually be degraded. Security updates to the code of obsolete systems will stop being released at some point, and that may leave them open to other kinds of attack besides malware.
   3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
Apple has so far failed to revoke the codesigning certificates of some known abusers, thereby diluting the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. These failures don't involve App Store products, however.
   For the reasons given, App Store products, and—to a lesser extent—other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. Sandbox security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they are not, and never will be, complete protection. Malware is a problem of human behavior, and a technological fix is not going to solve it. Trusting software to protect you will only make you more vulnerable.
The best defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "Trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and the scam artists. If you're smarter than they think you are, you'll win. That means, in practice, that you always stay within a safe harbor of computing practices. How do you know when you're leaving the safe harbor? Below are some warning signs of danger.
Software from an untrustworthy source
Software of any kind is distributed via BitTorrent. or Usenet, or on a website that also distributes pirated music or movies.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, doesn't come directly from the developer’s website. Do not trust an alert from any website to update Flash, your browser, or anything else.
Rogue websites such as Softonic and CNET Download distribute free applications that have been packaged in a superfluous "installer."
The software is advertised by means of spam or intrusive web ads. Any ad, on any site, that includes a direct link to a download should be ignored.
Software that is plainly illegal or does something illegal
High-priced commercial software such as Photoshop is "cracked" or "free."
An application helps you to infringe copyright, for instance by circumventing the copy protection on commercial software, or saving streamed media for reuse without permission.
Conditional or unsolicited offers from strangers
A telephone caller or a web page tells you that you have a “virus” and offers to help you remove it. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
A web site offers free content such as video or music, but to use it you must install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "downloader," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one.
You win a prize in a contest you never entered.
Someone on a message board such as this one is eager to help you, but only if you download an application of his choosing.
A "FREE WI-FI !!!" network advertises itself in a public place such as an airport, but is not provided by the management.
Anything online that you would expect to pay for is "free."
Unexpected events
You open what you think is a document and get an alert that it's "an application downloaded from the Internet." Click Cancel and delete the file. Even if you don't get the alert, you should still delete any file that isn't what you expected it to be.
An application does something you don't expect, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
Software is attached to email that you didn't request, even if it comes (or seems to come) from someone you trust.
I don't say that leaving the safe harbor just once will necessarily result in disaster, but making a habit of it will weaken your defenses against malware attack. Any of the above scenarios should, at the very least, make you uncomfortable.
   6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it—not JavaScript—in your browsers.
Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
Stay within the safe harbor, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself.
7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" (AV) or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they are all worse than useless. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free security apps in the Mac App Store—nothing else.
Why shouldn't you use commercial AV products?
To recognize malware, the software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least a day out of date. This technique is a proven failure, as a major AV software vendor has admitted. Most attacks are "zero-day"—that is, previously unknown. Recognition-based AV does not defend against such attacks, and the enterprise IT industry is coming to the realization that traditional AV software is worthless.
Its design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere. In order to meet that nonexistent threat, commercial AV software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
By modifying the operating system, the software may also create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
Most importantly, a false sense of security is dangerous.
8. An AV product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," has the same drawback as the commercial suites of being always out of date, but it does not inject low-level code into the operating system. That doesn't mean it's entirely harmless. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
An AV app is not needed, and cannot be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful, if at all, only for detecting Windows malware, and even for that use it's not really effective, because new Windows malware is emerging much faster than OS X malware.
Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else. A malicious attachment in email is usually easy to recognize by the name alone. An actual example:
London Terror Moovie.avi [124 spaces] Checked By Norton Antivirus.exe
You don't need software to tell you that's a Windows trojan. Software may be able to tell you which trojan it is, but who cares? In practice, there's no reason to use recognition software unless an institutional policy requires it. Windows malware is so widespread that you should assume it's in every email attachment until proven otherwise. Nevertheless, ClamXav or a similar product from the App Store may serve a purpose if it satisfies an ill-informed network administrator who says you must run some kind of AV application. It's free and it won't handicap the system.
The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have all the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
10. As a Mac user, you don't have to live in fear that your computer may be infected every time you install software, read email, or visit a web page. But neither can you assume that you will always be safe from exploitation, no matter what you do. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.

T61 XP-Pro simple file sharing. T61 can't browse its own shared folders nor can Workgroup PC's

T61 simple file sharing.
The shared folders can be seen in "Workgroup" by the T61 and other intranet "Workgroup" PC's but not browsed. This is the error message:
"\Thinkpad\desktop is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of the server to find out if you have access permissions. The network path was not found."
What permissions or security settings need set?

My Macbook Air does not show up on my network to any of my other computers, Other computers on my network appear and disappear, some shared folders are not accessible

My Macbook Air with Lion does not show up on my network to any of my other computers (PC's) , even though it is connected to my wifi and does access the Internet. In addition, my other computers sometimes show up in Finder and sometimes they're not there. Sometimes they do show in Finder and when I click on them, I get "Connection Failed", other times, they connect. Also some shared folders on those other computers, which are PC's are not accessible, even though fully shared. My network is Apple Airport Extreme and works perfectly otherwise, including all PC's being able to see each other. Help would be much appreciated

I got the same problem. I want to access my shared folder on my home windows7 from my MBA. Tried many suggestions on the web but all to no avail. I thought that should be very trivial. Maybe a Lion bug?

I can't use shared folders feature in VMware

Arch Linux is the guest system. Windows 7 is the host OS. I'm using VMware Workstation 10.0.1. After installing vmware tools (the original ones) I can't mount my shared folder. It says
~ mount -t vmhgfs .host:/ /mnt
Error: cannot mount filesystem: No such device
I've already searched the forum but I didn't find any solution to my problem.
[Update]
I think that it has something to do with the fact that vmware module sources are not compatible with the new UID and GID types:
uid_t -> kuid_t
gid_t -> kgid_t
I admit that I have no idea about patching sources. I've found this thread. It helped me with patching the vmhgfs module. Unfortunately the vmci module is still failing to compile because it's not patched yet. I have no idea how to fix this problem.
[Workaround]
Well I gave up. I've chosen the easiest way - Samba.

Hi.
I managed to compile open-vm-tools and the kernel module against 3.14.5 kernel. Here is the tarball with the all the files.
I still have an issue : With vmware-player 6.0.2, I can't acces my shared folder :
root@P146S011b ~ # lsmod | grep hgfs
vmhgfs 41622 0

Forgot to add an install file with a depmod -a inside. You will have to run it by yourself

4.2.3/.4 Data load wizard - slow when loading large files

Hi,
I am using the data load wizard to load csv files into an existing table. It works fine with small files up to a few thousand rows. When loading 20k rows or more the loading process becomes very slow. The table has a single numeric column for primary key.
The primary key is declared at "shared components" -> logic -> "data load tables" and is recognized as "pk(number)" with "case sensitve" set to "No".
While loading data, these configuration leads to the execution of the following query for each row:
select 1 from "KLAUS"."PD_IF_CSV_ROW" where upper("PK") = upper(:uk_1)
which can be found in the v$sql view while loading.
It makes the loading process slow, because of the upper function no index can be used.
It seems that the setting of "case sensitive" is not evaluated.
Dropping the numeric index for the primary key and using a function based index does not help.
Explain plan shows an implicit "to_char" conversion:
UPPER(TO_CHAR(PK)=UPPER(:UK_1)
This is missing in the query but maybe it is necessary for the function based index to work.
Please provide a solution or workaround for the data load wizard to work with large files in an acceptable amount of time.
Best regards
Klaus

Nevertheless, a bulk loading process is what I really like to have as part of the wizard.
If all of the CSV files are identical:
use the Excel2Collection plugin ( - Process Type Plugin - EXCEL2COLLECTIONS )
create a VIEW on the collection (makes it easier elsewhere)
create a procedure (in a Package) to bulk process it.
The most important thing is to have, somewhere in the Package (ie your code that is not part of APEX), information that clearly states which columns in the Collection map to which columns in the table, view, and the variables (APEX_APPLICATION.g_fxx()) used for Tabular Forms.

Upgraded 2 macs to Mavericks, can no longer access shared folders/files.

So I upgraded my Macbook Pro, and Mac Mini to Mavericks today, and previously when they were both on mountain lion I could access the shared folders/files and screen share with absolutely no issue whatsoever.
But upon updating to Mavericks today it all broke.
Both computers were running the OS X Server software on Mountain Lion, and I went ahead and purchased/installed the new edition of server that came out today.
I can see the other mac under the "Shared" option in Finder's sidebar, but when I try to open the other mac it says connection failed and offers to "connect as"
As I usually do, I connect as and it asks for the login credentials. I put in the same credentials as before, 150% sure they're right, in the text boxes that I used before, but it won't allow me to connect to the mac.
I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they're the right credentials.
I thought it may have been just a wonky permissions error so I unshared the folders and reshared using the same permissions that had worked before.
I've been working on it for about 3 hours now so any help would be appreciated.

I upgraded my two machines - now when I access files on the "shared" storage array (a thunderbolt, pegasus array) across the network (ethernet) if I modify the file (for instance, a jpg) and then go to save I get a "you don't have permissions to etc...." and then when I just close the file without saving - it disappears from my file server permanently! even if I go to the machine hooked up to the array the file is "gone" - unbelievable. I have updated permissions where I can, deleted and added the sharing for users, tried SMB and AFP, and even downgraded the "sharing" machine back to OSX 10.8 where it was working fine but the client machine still is doing this where it can connect, see all the files, but as soon as I modify a file I get the warning and bam, it's gone forever....
Wow - this is a doozy. I don't have a fix but WARNING - watch out as you are working on this problem that your files are being vanished permanently.
