Slow remote opening of folders and files on just one computer on network

I have a network of four computers:
1) G4 Cube, 450 MHz, OS 10.4.11
2) G4 Mini, 1.5 GHz, OS 10.4.11
3) G5 Tower, 1.8 GHz, OS 10.5.8
4) G4 Cube, 450 MHz, OS 10.4.11
It is almost always very slow to open a folder or file on computer 1 from any of the other computers, or to open a folder or file on computers 2-4 from computer 1. There is no such problem between computer 4 and computers 2 and 3. When opening folders and files on computer 1 from computer 1 the performance seems to be ok.
Does anyone have any idea what might be the source of the problem and what I might to do improve the situation?
Thanks,
John Link

Hi John, is this Airport or Ethernet?
Ethernet
Open Activity Monitor>Network tab, observe Speed when trying that.
I found Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder, but I'm not sure what you're saying to do with it.
Open Network Utility>Info tab, select the Interface you're using, what speed does it say?
100 Mb on both computers 1 and 4
Any Errors or Collisions?
No on both computers 1 and 4

MSN Premium Local Folders and files

My XP machine quit but the HD is OK and contains my local folders and files for Verizon DSL MSN Premium. I have located the folders and files on the old HD, but can't determine how and where I should move them to on the new WIn7 computer. The folders and files have unusual file extensions. I've successfully reloaded MSN Premium on my new machine and e-mail send and receive is OK. I have at least a 100 local folders and 1500 e-mails so I need to automate the move process. Since my old computer is no longer functional I can't use Microsoft Easy Transfer to move the folders and files from the old computer to the new one.

The UNC path is the easiest approach and should work. You can then use your standard (Non SharePoint specific) Move-Item etc. commandlets.
To use the SharePoint PowerShell snapin you need to be running the commands on the SharePoint server with a highly privileged account. There are some nice tricks you can do if you're doing that but they probably aren't relevant to you.
The UNC Path is generally the URL to the folder with the forward slashes turned to backward slashes.
http://webapplication.domain.com/sites/sitecollection/subsite/documentLibrary/default.aspx
becomes
\\webapplication.domain.com\sites\sitecollection\subsite\documentLibrary\
Note that you have to chop off a bit of the URL on the end so it's just to the document library but that's about the only tricky bit.

I want to restore ALL the changed or deleted files and folders since my last backup (but not the entire disk, that would be unnecessary)
Were all (or most) of the items in, say, your Documents folder, or your Music folder? If so, you can restore the whole folder via TM. That will put all sub-folders and files back exactly the way they were at the time of the backup. You just have to be careful to pick the right backup (date & time).
Or, if they were scattered through your Home Folder, you can restore that entire folder in the same way.
If you've made changes subsequent to that backup, however, they will be lost in the process. What you can do in that case is, restore to a different location, then compare the two folders, and drag & drop what you want. (To restore to a different location, select the folder in TM, then click the "gear" icon in the TM Finder window, and select +Restore <item selected> to ...+ and you'll be prompted for a restore location.)

Formatted HD, but have backup of all the folders and files of Firefox. How can I restore everything, including plugins, bookmarks and saved settings?

I have formatted my computer's HD because of a problem with Windows 7, the thing is that Windows 7 didn't start, so I couldn't backup my Firefox settings, bookmarks, plugins, themes, personas and etc. the right way.
I also don't have a Firefox Sync account.
What I do have are all the folders and files of Firefox, because I just created a new partition and installed Windows 7 again, what I'm having trouble is finding a way (if there's any) to restore everything from my previous installation to the new one.
I have searched for days on both Google and on te Firefox forum with no success, the only questions I found are about restoring a profile, but what I'm trying to do is the same thing that the Firefox add-on " FEBE " does, which is restoring everything to the previous configuration.
Here's alink to the add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/pt-br/firefox/addon/febe/
I have tried copying, pasting and overwritting from the " .default " folder to my new installation of Firefox (yes, Firefox was closed), but when I opened it again, nothing was restored.
I every single folder and file Firefox ever created on my computer, this includes the installation folder (at Program Files), the profile (.default at AppData) folder, the Mozilla folder (ProgramData) and the Mozilla Firefox folder (also at AppData).
I also had the FEBE add-on installed, but like stated before, unfortunately I couldn't start Windows 7, forcing me to create a new partition to install a new copy of the OS.
Thanks in advance.
PS. Sorry if I made the text too long and/or if I mentioned the same things twice, just trying to be thorough.

Hi Sdarts,
I apologize for the delay in replying to your question, and I am sorry to hear that you are having issues restoring your Firefox user data.
Please see the following article, which explains how to restore your Firefox user data using a previously backed up Profiles folder, which seems to apply to your situation:

Please let us know if this solves your problem or if you have any questions.

Plugged in memory card, exsiting folders and file names were renamed and unreadable

First time using this forum, so excuse and formatting mistakes. I will try to provide as much information as possible.
Today I plugged in my 16gb Kingston memory card after a shoot. The memory card had existing folders and files in it. When I looked at it in Bridge, though, the folders had been renamed as such: DCIM had changed to DBIL, _EDIT had changed to _^EDIT, _MG_7674.CR2 had changed to _LG^7674.CR2 and so forth. Lots of replaced letters and added symbols. Also, nothing can be opened now. I tried copying on of the images to my desktop, renaming to it's original name, but that did not work. I also plugged it back into the camera, and what was readable moments ago is now resulting in a "No Image" screen.
Help!
I am using Adobe Bridge CS6, a macbook pro with OS X version 10.6.8, and a canon 7D

Have you applied all updates to CS6? You should be at Photoshop CS6 13.0.6.

Finder not able to view folders and files on EHD after updating to OS X 10.9.4

I can see still see 'Hitachi' in the 'Devices' Sidebar, but I am not able to view folders and files on this Hitachi XL2000 2TB FAT32 Hard Drive (EHD) that is USB connected to the iMac below.
Late 2013 Apple iMac (27-inch Display 2560 x 1440), 3.4GHz Quad-core Intel Core i5, Turbo Boost up to 3.8GHz, 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 2X4GB, 512GB Flash Storage, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M 2GB GDDR5, Magic Trackpad, Apple Wireless Keyboard and OS X 10.9.4 Mavericks
All was fine until I updated from OS X 10.9.3 to 10.9.4 earlier this week, so now when I double-click on 'Hitachi' it just loads and loads with nothing happening and never displays the folder and file contents of the EHD.
Also, confirmed that Hitachi EHD has been removed from Spotlight indexing per System Preferences > Privacy > + > Hitachi and it was so this does not seem to be an indexing issue.
I have used OnyX and Apple Disk Utilities unsuccessfully to try and fix this problem.
Interestingly, Backblaze online backup still sees the EHD and connecting this EHD to a Win 8.1 PC also sees the EHD.
Further, I ran the commands below in 'Terminal' to make sure the drive was visible and got the following results which shows that the EHD is not hidden.
iMac:Applications john$ chflags nohidden /Volumes/Hitachi/
iMac:Applications john$ GetFileInfo /Volumes/Hitachi/
directory: "/Volumes/HITACHI"
attributes: avbstclinmedz
modified: 07/10/2014 23:26:44
Finally, I installed XtraFinder and am still not able to see the contents of the EHD, but when I installed OmniDiskSweeper I can navigate the EHD folder tree with no problems and can see the contents of the EHD, but when I try and open up a file it opens Finder which loads and loads and nothing happens.

Apple Support was quite helpful, but in the end I will wait to do a clean install of OS X Yosemite which is due in the Fall and not try and fix OS X 10.9.4 Mavericks.
It turns out that I run backups on my '/Users/john/Library' and the size of this folder before the 10.9.4 update was 1.07 GB and after the update it is 806.9 MB which is baffling, but in the end all of these problems should be resolved with a clean install of OS X Yosemite.
One lesson learned for the future is that I will wait on installing an update until it has been in the wild for awhile as a quick OS X Mavericks Finder Problem search and similar searches show there could be an issue.

Unable to rename folders and files on SharePoint mapped drive.

I just installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 and have mapped a drive to my SharePoint "Shared Documents" folder. I am able to open, save, and delete files and folders. However, I am unable to rename files and folders. No matter how long of
short of a name I use I get the following error:
"The file name you specified is not valid or too long. Specify a different file name."
I've mapped the "S" drive to http://hostname.domain.com/Shared Documents/
I am a SharePoint Admin, and have confirmed that if I do not have this problem if I log into SharePoint with IE. I have also confirmed that others are not experiencing this issue. Also, this issue did not exist on my previous installation of Windows
7. Therefore I assume this is a config issue.
Also, in "My Computer" it shows the mapped SharePoint drive as a "FAT" filesystem.

Did some more testing. From my mapped drive, I can create new folders and files, and delete them. I created a folder in Windows Explorer, when I tried to give a name it gave me the above error and saved the folder as "New Folder". No matter when
I try, I cannot rename this folder unless I log into the SharePoint interface.
Next, I tried this from the command line. I moved to my S drive, and did a "mkdir test" and was able to create a folder named test. Next I tried to "rename test testing" and received the following error:
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
The full path is S:\test. If I do a "mkdir testing" I am able to create the folder. If I try to rename the folder in Explorer, it gives me the "file name not valid or too long". I'm obviously well under the 260 character limit, so there
has to be something wrong with the fiel name, or drive mapping.
Also, when I "dir" the S drive it tells me the drive has no label. "Volume in drive S has no label."
I'm having the same issue with files. I can create a file, modify it, delete it, but can't rename it.

Finder is not displaying some folders and files

Most folders and files are displaying properly, but some are missing. I can find them by typing their names into the search window, but they are not displaying automatically in Finder.

Hello Andy_fan
Please look for MS-SMB_ServerUserGuide.docx file in the folder where you extracted MS-SMB.zip file and refer section 'Configure the SUT' for configuring SUT. Follow other relevant sections of this document to configure client as well.
Domain is not a requirement for running SMB test suite, hence, if you are in workgroup environment just ignore domain values in the
ParamConfig.xml
file.

Help! Lost original folders and files and trying to update website with new information

I lost the original folders and files for my website. I have new files to upload to the site but when I synch, the website still shows the original files. How do I get rid of the old and replace with the updated website files?

1. Are you sure that you are uploading to the proper folder on the remote site?
(have to ask as some people don't realise that the files need to go into a specific folder as specified by their host).
2. Could it be a cache issue with the ISP, Sometiimes it take a while for new files to display if the old ones are still being cached at the ISP level.

Accessing Dock Sub-Folders and Files

With the implementation of Stacks in Leopard I've noticed that I've lost the ability to access sub-folders and files within folders contained in the Dock. In Tiger I could access any sub-folder or file from the pop-up menu of a folder in the Dock. Using Stacks, I can only access a sub-folder and have its window open.
Does anybody know if there is a way to access the files within the sub-folder without having to open that folder window? I find this a step backward from Tiger as you have to use multiple steps to access a file that may be several folders deep.
Any suggestions would be most welcome.

I might also add, what you see as a step back, there is also a step forward here. Before the only method of sorting the folder contents off the Dock without opening a Finder window was by name. Now you have several methods when you switch from opening in arc to grid mode, by clicking once on the stack and changing the mode from automatic to grid. This shows all the stack items then in any sort view you want once grid is selected.

After Photoshop Elements quit working for the second time in three months, I uninstalled it and now cannot get it to reinstall from the disc. Nothing happens when I insert the disc. All I can do is look at the folders and files and see nothing that tells me how to start the installation. Clicking "open with Auto play" gives me irrelevant options, view photos, share, etc. I'm running Windows 8. This program has worked, although buggy, for the past year.

TA21041 I can not open some folders and get not have permission to open the folder

I can not open some folders and recieve the message: you do not have permission to open this folder. how I can solve it?

Select that folder, choose Get Info from the File menu, and give yourself read access under Sharing & Permissions. This shouldn't be done on folders in system directories.

Can't hide Hidden folders and files.

Hi All,
This past weekend I transferred my OS and apps to a newly installed SSD drive.
During the process I had to move some files around in order to get The OS and Apps on the SSD.
I used a technique that utilizes the Terminal and the chflags command.
My issue is now I can not hide the files and folders that are usually hidden.
I can't remember the exact method I used to unhide hidden folders and files. I can't even find a reference to it in my web browsers history.
I have searched on the web for solutions along these lines:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -boolean FALSE ; killall Finder
chflags hidden
sudo chflags hidden
But none of these approaches have worked.
I have downloaded Onyx, TinkerTool and Show Hide Invisible Files.
I have used them as best I understand to hide the normally hidden files and folders, but nothing has worked.
Any Command Line gurus out there have any suggestions?
Many Thanks in Advance!
Tem

Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info in Finder (or just Show Info)
from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
☞ Does the dialog show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section?
☞ In the General section, is the box labeled Locked checked?
☞ What is the Modified date?
If you don't have read and write access to the item, change the settings as directed here. Note, however, that if one file has wrong access settings, most likely others do as well. If the item is locked, unlock it.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.
