Showing systems folders in Finder

Is it possible to view systems folder like /usr or /var in finder?

Open the AppleScript Editor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and run the following:
tell app "Finder" to quit
do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1"
delay 2
tell app "Finder" to run
This script will not allow you to access anything which is set not to be readable by your user account. The /dev/ folder on the startup disk is hardcoded to be hidden to the GUI and cannot be revealed in the Finder by this or any other method. To turn it off, replace the 1 with a 0.

  • Show Sub-Folders in Finder

    Is there a way to have Finder show sub-folders as well as folders when I perform a Save As in Pages?

    MUCH apologies!
    This problem is NOT in Pages but in iPhoto.
    When File, Export is chosen, only certain folders are shown (recent) and there's no way to navigate to any other locations.
    Very sorry for my mis-leading question...

    How do I add my new iPhone4s to iCloud's "Find my iPhone"? I followed the iCloud instructions and turned on Macbook Pros' system prefs to "find my mac", turned on iPhone4s's "location services" and set up iCloud, etc. In the "Find my iphone" tab of my new iCloud account (on my Macbook Pro) my iPhone4s still won't show—but my macbook does show. I had my iPhone4s set up at the phone store (2 days ago) and It receives gmail, my contacts and calender entries, the weather, etc. I installed the "Find iPhone" app from iTunes on the iPhone4s, synched to iTunes, even reset the phone, but the only device that gets located is my Macbook Pro. I can send a "sound" message to my Mac (and the Mac recieves it) but unable to see the iPhone4s from my Mac, let alone send any message. Any suggestions to get the iPhone4s device to appear in iCloud?
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    OK, I figured it out...I deleted the iCloud account off my iPhone (Settings, iCloud, Delete Account), and then added iCloud back in (Settings, iCloud, SignIn)....and then my email (iCloud) and "Find my phone" features worked! Nice!!!!

  • I no longer have access to system folders that allow me to remove old or incorrect PAGES templates. Need to find out how to do that. The only way I can do it now is to blank the template and replace the bad template with a blank.

    I no longer have access to system folders that allow me to remove old or incorrect PAGES templates. Need to find out how to do that. The only way I can do it now is to blank the template and replace the unwanted template with a blank. It was previously possible to go to MY TEMPLATES and remove the unwanted templates. I don't if this issue is before or since installation of 10.8 (a nightmare in my case, which led to significant failure issues).  And because I haven't tried to remove templates since finally managing to install 10.8 (now at 10.8.4), I don't know if this is typical of the newer OS or a problem. I've been a Mac user for more than 25 years, but I think I'm nearing the end of the road. By the way, I've never needed to do this before because the manuals always offered an answer... they don't seem to do that anymore. In any case, I don't know how this works... I'd prefer an email reply if that's possible. But that would probably be too easy, and I don't know how to get a reply.

    Thanks, I appreciate the help.  I think this is one of the problems Apple is creating by changing the OS so often. I had fomer colleagues at [a major aerospace contractor] who told me that so many original files were ultimately lost because of the deadly change in the "Save As" operation that they are now afraid of every OS update. Apple has badly damaged their support base with that very prominent company (they won't update now until they've fully examined and understand changes in the pre-conditioned nature of OS computer functions), and they are a whole lot less enthaled with Mac-related equipment/software. Can't blame them, I too used orginal files that way (as easy-to-use templates), and lost some important files before I realized what was happening (to late to revert). Companies should not have to retrain employees each time an OS gets an update, it's can be very expensive several different ways. They learned a painful lesson with that one. And because I'm now retired and don't use multiple devices, I need iCloud like I need a hole in the head... but I'm told there's no way to keep Apple out of my computer. Fortunately, because of major problems when initially installing Mountain Lion, one hold-over of the hardware/software damage I experienced was that iCloud can no longer access my computer even though everything else is working fine again. That was the only "good luck" I had as a result of that expensive nightmare.

  • 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?

  • Find Command Not Searching System Folders

    This seems like a tough question to answer but I cannot find a way to use the Finder's "Find" command to find files in the User/Library/ folder (ie: looking for specific preference files) or any other System folder for that matter.
    I was trying to find a certain ".plist" file using the "Find" command but even typing the exact, full name of the ".plist" file directly into the search box still wouldn't bring up a result in the list. I had to manually go into the Preferences folder and locate the file.
    Is this a limitation of the Finder's "Find" command or is there some way I can "tell" it to look in all the System folders?
    Thanks so much,
    Gerard

    Also, see http://www.pinkmutant.com/articles/Leopard/leospot.html and my mod to Finder's Find at http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6725932 for what you can change so you can find stuff excluded by the default structure.

  • Finding system folders

    I'm writing a java program that should find (when installed) the system folders 'Temporary Internet Files' and 'Favorites'. -Is there a way to do it so it will work on any windows system?

    I had this problem. I found no java solution.
    What I did was ran a batch file to launch the java application. This batch file also dumped some of the system variables into a txt file which the java program then read in and used.
    For example
    echo %windir% > compInfo.txt
    echo %userprofile% >> compInfo.txt
    echo %username% >> compInfo.txt
    Then you should be able to work out the path to the favourites etc...

  • Multiple System Folders in Operation! Consolidation Tips?

    Hi from a first-wave Mac OS 6 user (Started with a Plus and 20MB External; )
    An obviously stupid situation is plaguing my longtime PMac G3/266 running OS 8.6.
    (Yes I DO run OSX latest versions on other machines - this is a legacy system i maintain for various reasons incl. access to otherwise orphaned files & apps).
    Long story condensed...Have 2 Seagate internal HDs running. Newer one ('07: ) was installed with intent to use for backup and extra storage. Somehow along the line
    TWO System Folders became active and over time of course some elements of one System have become intermingled with the other. Goal here is, as sensibly/simply as possible, unify a single system...whether that's back to 8.6, or migrating everything i NEED to an OS 9.2 drive (wiser i suppose). It has been SO long
    that I don't even remember the fundamentals of migration from OS 8 to 9...but
    complicating matters is this multiple Sys Folder issue.
    Don't want to lose currently-active preferences... data-access to stuff like
    Filemaker Pro files with time-sensitive current data like invoicing etc.
    All this said, any pointers on how to proceed, to effectively keep the current status of everything in current Active use - but eliminate the other System folder wherein some components are affecting apps/docs/files in the OTHER Sys. Folder and..vice versa. This is a fragile process especially when it comes to stuff like email in an old version of Netscape Communicator that I use on this machine. As far as that app., there are multiple User folders but we need to salvage the RIGHT User Profile and Data i.e. i.e., the one that's most current and in-use.
    I don't think this is as nightmarish as it might seem on the surface...I'm just looking to map an orderly strategy to approach it. What I really don't want to lose afa the System, is the correct Preferences for the active apps. Again, it seems some apps are drawing info from BOTH System/Pref folders.
    BTW DW/DiskWarrior was used for Directory creation on the newer of the drives, in case that's of any relevance.
    I was thinking of just picking up another HD, putting it in another, newer desktop (AGP/G4) and then migrating everything from both HDs on the older 8.6 OS machine to the newer machine which would be on 9.2.2...but under the circumstances, not sure that would be simple/straightforward unless I first resolve the duplication thing with what's on the "dueling 8.6 HDs" machine.
    Sorry I didn't really shorten a long story after all but thanks and appreciation for any advice if you've read this far.

    Hi, Mike -
    …TWO System Folders became active….
    Two System Folders may be present on the machine, but only one can be active at any given time.
    Are the two System Folders each on a separate drive? Or are both on the same drive?
    If each is on its own drive, then the active one can be identified in several ways. The easiest way is to look at the drive icons on the right-hand side of the desktop - the icon for the boot volume (meaning the drive whose OS is in use) will be the one on top. If this is constant through reboots, then there is no change in which OS is being used, and its contents will be the most current.
    Many folk have multiple OS's available on their machines. Usually they are segregated by being on different volumes (a volume - an unpartitioned drive, or a partition of a partitioned drive).
    For example, I have two hard drives in the G4 I'm using. One drive has been partitoned into four volumes, the other into five volumes; in addition, I have a full-time external firerwire drive. This gives me 10 separate volumes. All could be bootable if I had an OS on each; I do have OS's on 7 of them, so I have 7 bootable volumes. One is a full duplucate (backup) of my primary boot volume, including the OS (OS 9.1); others are of different OS versions or configs, used for testing purposes or for specific needs.
    There is no cross-contamination in this arrangement; prefs are updated, etc., only in the System Folder for the active OS, meaning the one then running the machine.
    Hi Don, thanks for writing.

    OK, will check that. Trying to get a handle on what is going on here. Several anomalies that i need to identify the cause of. For a simple example - Old "Stickies Notes" will boot up one time and on next restart, a default startup with that app. appearing "as-new" -- i.e. no prefs at all...no database connectivity and specific "stickie-notes" that would otherwise show up under one System's startup.
    Honestly it's as if the System will startup randomly from either one Folder or The Other...and/or....choose Prefs from One or The Other each time.
    Just trying to get everything to jive under one singular System with no influence from the Other.
    Will look at the drive icons on reboots to try and single out the most-current and hopefully can sort things out that way. As I say, I'm willing to simply move the whole "universe" from both Drives up to a single new OS 9 environment, if i can find a way to do it relatively easily.
    Thanks again

  • What to do with Previous System Folders?

    First of all, Happy New Year to all!
    I just spent two days doing an "Archive and Install" on my iMac at the advice of an Apple Genius who checked out my iMac at the Apple store. He said my iMac was running very slow but couldn't find any reason for it.
    The first "Archive and Install" took six hours on the 30th, and then it was several more hours to get the software back up to speed with all of the updates. But after all of that, my system ended up in the Kernal Panic screen on start up. So today I got on the phone with Apple Care and they had me boot up with the Leopard Install DVD in the drive, holding down the C key. That worked, but I was back to square one with my Archive and Install.
    The second try yesterday took another 6 hours, and then it took several hours to get my software back up to speed again. The Apple Care guy told me the Install should only take an hour, so that right there tells me something isn't right. Anyway, here I am after two very long days, with my iMac at least functioning again, albeit not faster as I had hoped. It's still running slow as molasses. This post has taken me forever to write due to only being able to type three or four letters, then wait for SBOD to stop spinning, then another two or three letters. It's so frustrating.
    But, my main reason for posting here is to ask two questions.
    1. The two "Archive and Installs" left me with two "Previous System Folders" on my hard drive that are almost 21 GB's!! I had 74 GB's free before and now have only 53. Can I dump those folders and get my space back? I sure hope so. If so, how do I safely do it?
    2. The three folders on my dock at the right end; Applications, Documents, and Downloads, used to be in nice neat folders with symbols on them indicating what they are, but now they're just plain folders with stuff sticking out of the top of them, and in the case of the Applications folder, the Address book app is sitting on top of the folder, rather than inside of it, and all I see is the Address book icon, not the folder. How do I get those folders back to normal? I hate the way they look now!
    I'm very frustrated that I'm having all of these problems with my iMac, but grateful at this point that I extended my warranty before the first year was up. I'm definitely going to have to take it back in for more help. I don't think it should take four minutes for iTunes to start up and shut down, four minutes for iPhoto to shut down, or two minutes for a photo to open up in iPhoto after clicking on it, etc., etc. I have the Spinning Beach Ball of Death spinning way more than it should! I'm tired of constantly having to wait for it to stop so I can continue.
    Ironically, I installed two more Gigs of RAM less than six months ago so that I would have a faster computer, but I never really noticed a difference. Although it wasn't this slow the first few months.
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can answer my two questions up above, and thanks for listening to me while I expressed my frustration.
    Deb

    Hi Deb,
    This may be ten days late, and way, way too long, but you might want to try some of these suggestions, especially if AppleCare, or someone else, hasn't fixed it for you. You'll probably need to print out all this stuff. It's all stuff I've found useful in similar situations. There is no particular order to check things, but you might want check the utility "Activity Monitor" first and then try setting up a new account. That has worked for me.
    Launch "Activity Monitor" (found in the utility folder inside the root Applications folder) and click on the CPU column to see if some background process or another application is running and using a large percentage of the processor's time. Also check the RAM columns to see if something is using a lot of the available RAM. If there is something that doesn't seem right, you can select it and double click the questionable item - a dialog box will appear that allows you to quit. That may solve the problem of spinning "pizza wheels" of death without a restart. At the least you'll have a good question to ask AppleCare (though they'll definitely suggest Activity Monitor.
    You may also want to set up a new account in Apple Menu/System Prefs/Accounts with a different name and password. Then within that account try launching some apps from the Root Applications folder. They may now work in the new account. You can also install some apps you use most within the new account. Those apps will be placed in the Applications folder within the new home folder of the new account - NOT in the root Applications folder (the one you see when you double click the hard drive icon).
    If you haven't set up a new account before it will seem strange when you first startup. Nothing is the same - the desktop, dock, etc will be like when the machine was new. But often, using the new account, and finding the sluggishness is now gone, tells you the problem was in the old account - even if you can't find what the problem was. The old account is still there. But setting up the new account will take some additional drive space if you reinstall applications.
    Whatever you do, *_don't just delete the old account_* as that will also delete all your documents, videos, photos, etc. You can copy or move between accounts with your administrator password. The Library folder in the old Home folder will contain a lot of stuff you may want to keep, but also can contain the corrupt file that caused the sluggishness problem. You may want to copy the contents of different User/New Acct Home folder/Library folders a little at a time and reboot after changes. If the sluggishness reappears, then pull out the last items you put in and try to narrow it down.
    If you don't want to set up a new account initially try some of these suggestions. Uninstall and reinstall the major applications that run slowly. Use the uninstaller that comes with the app. If there is none, then just reinstall and restart. That might solve the problem. Reinstall whatever apps you need. Can't hurt and may eliminate some file corruption.
    After you restart, and BEFORE you launch any application, press and hold the Cmd (Apple) Key and then hit tab. You will see which apps are running in addition to the Finder. If there is stuff you didn't launch, keep pressing Cmd-Tab which will highlight each application. When selected, you can quit the application [Cmd-Q ]. Or just release the Cmd-Tab keys with the app selected and it's name should appear at the top left of the menu bar. There, you can pull down the menu and quit it (or press Cmd-Q). If it doesn't quit try to Force Quit [Opt-Cmd-Escape]. Try not to quit the Finder. Then launch the apps you need and see if they are still sluggish.
    If there was stuff running and you don't know why, check your Account (Apple Menu/System Prefs/Accounts). Accounts is the first item on the System row (next to last row down). Click Accounts and when it opens, click the the account you're using (if there are more than one). Then click the Login Items tab near the top of the window. You'll see a list of apps that launch whenever you start up (sometimes in the background). If you don't recognize some of what's there you can remove them using the [-] icon. You'll have to unlock the account with your password and then re-lock it to prevent others from changing stuff.
    Restart or log-out and log-in and see if the machine is faster without one or more of the removed items. There are things that are best not touched, but you'll probably know by their names. Pretty much anything you'd add will be found in the Applications or Utility folders. Other stuff is added by applications when they are installed. Make a list of whatever you remove if you have to add it back. If an application needs something you removed, you may be asked to reinstall the app.
    That's it - hope it helps.

  • How do I show what folders files are in in list view? MacGenius NO help.

    I recently went to the Natick Mall Mac Store to see a MacGenuis. I had two issues. The first was whether it is possible to view what files my documents and photos are in in list view, as I used to be able to view on my PC. The MacGenius tried to sell me a one-on-one lesson. When I asked how a lesson would help if it was not a possiblity, he told me to right click each document or photo to get that information. That is exactly the cumbersome, time consuming an inefficient process I was trying to avoid. I asked if he was aware of any third party software that could provide that function, and he said no.
    A little more research on my own shows that if you put your cursor on the item, the information shows up in the bar at the bottom of the finder screen. Not exactly what I was hoping for, but certainly more efficient and quicker than right clicking on each individual item, and I can at least toggle back and forth to compare documents and photos in multiple locations so I can delete those no longer needed without having to worry about doing an extra step and moving docs in and out of individual folders to re-consolidate them and delete uneccessary copies. (I have extras because I do legal work and have to keep copies of all items submitted in a single court filing together, but may need the same photos or docs in other court filings, which also have their own folders so I have a complete set of what was filed in each filing).
    Shouldn't the MacGenius have known about this function as an option for finding folders? He also told me I could not back up my computer on a disk I had previously used for a back up because the new back up would wipe out everything previously backed up.
    I also asked him about the whirling colored circle which I seem to be getting a lot of lately. He "checked" my computer and determined that I need a new battery (mine had slightly over 450 cycles, according to him) and my hard drive is failing. All could be repaired for a little over $300. I was told I could not do the repair myself, it had to be done by a Mac technician, and that the parts could only be purchased at the Mac store and they don't sell the parts except to Mac technicians.
    I was dubious, only because the MacGenius was consistently unhelpful and consistently tried to sell me items. I did stop and look at some PCs, figuring if my Mac was on its way out I would back up my docs and photos to a new PC and save a ton of time and money because I could consolidate on the PC which would show what folders my docs and photos were in - and use the PC for a backup drive until the Mac dies.
    I got Tech Tool Pro 6 and ran the diagnostics. All of which contradicted what the MacGenius told me, and gives me multiple options for backups without having to buy multiple backup drives for fear of having prior backups overwritten. So I don't need a new computer, I have an acceptable, altho less than desirable, way of telling what folders my items are in, and Tech Tool's optimization fixed the whirling "wait" cirle. 
    The only thing left is to ask if anyone has a hint or knows of software available that will in list (or other) view what folders my docs are in.
    Except to ask, has anyone else experienced such disappointing help and annoying upsell from a MacGenius? In all fairness, the few times in the past that I have been helped by a MacGenius, they were extremely helpful and didn't try to sell me anything (altho my computer was new and still under warranty).

    Customize the Finder window toolbar, adding the Path icon to it. Select an item and click on the Path icon or, as you already know, add path to the window. There's also copypath.app available via the App Store.

  • I have a disk inserted into my MAC that is not showing up in the Finder side bar. How do I eject it?

    I have a disk inserted into my MacBook Pro that is not showing up in the Finder side bar. How can I get it "ejected?" (I've checked in system preferences under CDs & DVDs and did not find a solution.)

    Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
    Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
      1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
          left mouse button until the disc ejects.
      2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
      3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
      4. Press COMMAND-E.
      5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in
          your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
            /usr/bin/drutil eject
    If this fails then try this:
    Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes.

  • Can't name new folders or rename existing folders in Finder

    I can't name new folders or rename existing folders in Finder. I've never had this happen before. I tried both using the new folder icon and choosing "new folder" from the actions icon. The only unusual thing I'm doing now is working with Spaces enabled, but I can't imagine that this has anything to do with the problem. Selecting and hitting "return" doesn't allow me to either erase existing text or overwrite with new text. Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Same here --
    I just created a new folder and couldn't change its name. Finder would give me "more info" (permissions certainly not an issue) and allow me to delete (and then recreate) the folder, but not change its name.
    Problem came from out of the blue, on a one-week-old system with all OS updates. Also found this old thread, which also suggests a Finder restart: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8989639
    So that'll probably do it, but what gives?
    Not so impressed with 10.5.7 so far... first a complete system crash while doing no more than downloading updates (a few hours after booting up for the first time), then networking stopped working (see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2003868), now this...

  • [Vista only] file IOException in system folders...

    i get IOExceptions thrown if attempting to write to system folders. this behavior only occurs in windows vista when User Account Control is ON. if i turn it off, the error goes away.
    windows xp, 2000 and mac os x are all fine. damn vista!
    as far as i know, most programs get this access by invoking the annoying user account control popup (do you want to give this program permission to execute?) or the like. this seems to be automatically invoked for .exes but not with .jars. is there a way i can invoke this permission for my java.exe / javaw.exe program?
    at the moment, the only workaround i have is a popup asking users to disable User Account Control. i think all would agree this is a poor solution. its not even a solution. its an embarrassing workaround...
    any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance!

    While Vista is not my OS of choice, I like how it actually forces people to think about security ('though it might be better if they didn't just think of it as another annoying message box, but one can't have everything).
    Why do you need to write to a system file area anyway? The only valid reason I can think of is if you are trying to write an installer. And if you do that and can't find documentation on how to do that, then you're probably better of to just use an existing one, since writing an installer is far more complex and tiresome as sounds.
    Especially with things like UAC in Vista.
    Just grab one of the existing (Java) installers (google helps find them!) and be done with it.
    If you're not writing an installer, then I'd be curious to know why you need to access those directories.

  • Uploading file: Browse System Folders?

    Hi there.
    When uploading a file, is it possible to browse
    the system folders such as tmp, etc, and bin?
    And with saving things with TextEdit, why can I not
    browse, and only save in preset folders?
    Thanks,
    Troy

    Hey Troy!
    With the uploading and the TextEdit yes sometimes it doesn't allow you to just browse wherever you want. (Unless someone else knows a trick?)
    You just have to work around it if there's not a full browse option made available. You can always save some folders on the left side of your Finder window if that helps?

  • The system can't find support team when support message create

    Dear experts,
    The system can't find support team when support message create.
    It show the error that
    "<u>The action definition SLFN0001_ADVANCED_SMDIAG has not been assigned a merging technology</u> "
    and "<u>the action merging cannot be executed</u>."
    Did anyone know how to solve this problem?
    Thanks in advance

    Hey pavienee,
    Let me inform you that the action defination SLFN0001_ADVANCED_FIND_PARTNER is responsible for finding the right support team, this is valid if you make relevant settings by assigning partners in ib52 ti the ibase component.
    The action log SLFN0001_ADVANCED_SMDIAG has nothing to do with support team determination.... This action is meant for Solman diagnositics.
    Please Reward points for usefull answer and revert for any clartifications.
    Regards,
    Anand..
