SMB share not showing all available files

Hi,
At work I have to connect to several SMB shares. Most are fine, however 1 of them does not show all the files that are on that share. I know I'm using the right domain, username and password. I've checked the console and can see this message repeated when I connect.
mbgetmem(449): incomplete copy
mbgetmem(449): incomplete copy
mbgetmem(449): incomplete copy
mbgetmem(449): incomplete copy
I'm using OS X 10.4.8 and have no idea of how to proceed. My IT department do not support our Mac's so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks
Kieran

excellent reply. Thanks for the details.
Oh, one more thing-
this 30-item limit is just in this same troublesome share.
Before the day gets away from you, ask the network admin to check permissions on this share. Perhaps the 30 files you see are the only ones that you have explicit rights to view.
they may need to ease up on restrictive permissions on this folder/drive.
(Images over a network can be funky, since Mac wants to display a little thumbnail of all those picture files...if you're viewing 'as icons', what happens if you change to 'by list'?...thinking out loud there.)
(not sure if I posted this...lost an open window for a few minutes :o

Smb share not displaying all files in finder

When accessing a non-windows (IBM iseries) smb share, I will only see 30 objects. Windows PCs will see all of the available objects.
Is there a solution for this problem?

Hi,
Me too, I am encountering the same problem, not with Windows XP but with a virtual Windows NT machine.
I am connecting to an SMB share on a Unix server running under Sun Solaris (vers. 8) on which the Windows NT machine is emulated by running PC Netlink (version 2.0 Rev=rr24).
Viewing share folders by clicking them via Finder, I see only a maximum of 30 entries (folders and/or files) in each sub folder, though many of them contain dozens or hundreds of objects.
When I view those folders via the command line in the Terminal, I see even less: only 14 objects appear. For each sorting mode the same 14 objects are visible.
When I copy a file from my local harddisk into such a folder, it disappears immediately after copying. When I copy the same file a second time into the same folder, a message pops up rejecting the copying because another file with that name already exists. Together with that message the "hidden" first copy now appears in the finder window, only to disappear again when the warning message is clicked away.
I do see all objects when I mount the shares on a PC or on my old PB G3, running Classic MacOS 9.2.2. And I did see all objects before I migrated from MacOS X 10.3.9 to MacOS X 10.4.10.
The names of the "hidden" objects are all OK (neither beginning nor ending with a dot, etc.).
I am curious if somebody found a solution for the prob, or what workaround you are using.
Thank you
Fred

Windows SMB shares not showing in finder

hi,
i'm using 10.5.8 on a powermac G5 in the office and recently experienced some difficulties regarding SMB shares. there are two Win XP 32bit machines in the office network, one Win 7 64bit machine and the powermac.
1) usually, the powermac could see and access all three windows machines via finder's sidebar. that stoped working some weeks ago. none of the three PCs shows up in the sidebar now. when i use finder's "connect to server" feature, the connection is established without problems. network printing to one of the XP machines also works fine. the mac's firewall settings where set to “Set access for specific services and applications” all the time, showing AFP and SMB shares enabled. just out of curiosity, i deactivated the firewall… and voila: my three PCs showed up in the finder sidebar again. changed it back… no PCs there
what's that? why did it work before, with the firewall enabled, and all of a sudden it doesn't work anymore and i have to shut down the firewall, to see my windows shares?
2) for some time it was sufficient that i could access the windows shares from my mac. now my colleagues needed to access the mac from their windows machines. as they do not need to have access to my entire home folder, i added the relevant (sub)folder from my documents folder via SMB guest sharing, setting the access rights to "read&write" for everyone, so that no password was needed for guests accessing that folder. however, all three windows machines could only see the standard public folder with its drop box, but not the newly added folder. experimented for over an hour or so, changing settings, trying to add other folders… until i found out, that the folder will only show up on the windows network, when it's located on the top level of my home folder, but not, if it's located in a subfolder (i.e. in documents, music, etc.)
is this meant to be that way? or am i doing something wrong?

If this is still driving you crazy...
I had the same problem and by figuring out which machine was the Master Browser I managed to fix it. I have a Windows 7 system and it had taken over as the Master Browser (probably because I had to rebuild my Mac). I disabled the Computer Browser service on the W7 computer and a 2003 server in my network automatically took over as the Master Browser. All of the Windows machines immediately appeared under Shared Items on my Mac sidebar.
I followed the instructions from:
http://robmulally.blogspot.com/2009/03/macbook-master-browser-and-my-mate.html
- on how to figure out which machine is the Master Browser in the network. The link came from a different discussion on the same issue (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1877116?start=0&tstart=0). There are also instructions (although somewhat vague) on how to make your Mac the Master Browser.
I hope this is of some help.

SMB sharing not listed all the files

Folks,
We've got a G5 desktop machine running 10.5.8. It had been sharing a RAID array -- Buffalo DuoStation, 2tb, mounted with Firewire -- with AFP for some time, and apparently that had been working fine.
But the AFP sharing didn't show up in file sharing at all. We had to set up Windows/SMB sharing, turned it on, it came up just fine.
Except a huge number of the folders are simply not showing up -- like, a majority. Sharing is set to everyone read-only. It's a photo archive, so I can see every day for 2011, but I can't see any of the months for, say, 2005. Only thing that shows is .DS_Store is in the second-level folders.
Because this is already in production, and I don't know the RAID setup or anything, I'm reluctant to try to run Drive Setup etc. on it to look for permission problems and the like.
Any ideas?
Mike

I thought the problem was ACLs, but it was a directory name problem -- and I just completely overlooked it.
We had folders like this:
2005 photos
-> 01/05
->-> 01/13/05
The slashes are outside the SMB specs, so they simply didn't show. Now I guess I need to find a way to rename the folders in bulk, but I know what the problem is.

My finder is not showing all my files

i recently purchased my macbook pro right before christmas and have been downloading alot of stuff on to it. When i open finder it only shows 4 files though. even when i search nothing comes up. it acts like the files arnt there at all and this is becomming a prolem. this is my first time using apple so it could be a stupid mistake but all help is appreciated! thanks!

Alright that's much better! Right, now what you are using is All My Files which in my opinion is the most ridiculous thing Apple has done in OS X for a while. It is very confusing and I dont use it. What you should do is go to Finder Menu > Preferences and uncheck All My Files in the Sidebar tab. Then open a new Finder window and press Shift-Command-H. This will take you to your home folder which will allow you to go through your folders etc. Try also pressing Command-3 as I find this is the easiest way to get around Finder.
Minecraft stores it's files in the Library folder in your home folder which is hidden by default to prevent accidental changes. You temporarily view it by going to Finder and clicking the "Go" menu, then hold shift to see Library appear. Click that. Then navigate to the Application Suport folder then to the minecraft folder. This is where all the Minecraft stuff is. If you need any more help please reply!
Hope this helps,
xeni
PS. I will not be available until after 9pm AEST and if not tomorrow as I have to go to work... Sorry!

Finder does not show all the files in a folder.

I have created a folder in Photos in which I put all the photos I want to use for social media. If I access the folder through Facebook, all the photos are there, but if I go to the folder through Finder, none of the photos I have added in the last two to three weeks are to be found.
The only way I can find them in Finder is to go through All My Files/ images and then scroll through hundreds of images. This is time-consuming and very frustrating.
I have tried relaunching Finder several times but it has made no difference. Any photos from the past 2-3 weeks can not be seen in the folder, even though they are clearly there when I open the folder from Facebook.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

Thanks for your reply. I have only had my new Macbook for a few weeks and do not have DropBox or GoogleDrive (or anything else) on it. It is a very weird problem.

Crystal Reports Cross-Tab Report not showing all available fields

I am running CR2008 against MS SQL Express. I have several tables with fields and data in them and can create standard reports to show all the data in all the fields. However, when I try to create a cross-tab report, only some of the fields appear for me to choose from.
I created a standard report with all the fields I needed in my cross-tab report and ran a preview. Everything was there. I then added a cross-tab object, selected the tables only to find that fields that are in the main report are not showing up for selection in the cross-tab.

UPDATE: I exported the entire database from MS SQLExpress to MS Access and I am having the same issues, so it does not appear to be a problem with the database engine and, since the standard tabular reports show the fields, I am at a loss as to why they don't show up in the cross-tab or the Parameter fields.
I am creating the cross-tab through the Cross-Tab wizard. Is there maybe a bug in that? Is there a way to create it otherwise?

Picky Spotlight - not showing all my files

Has anyone had this problem? Whereby Spotlight is not showing a lot of files I search for? I had a look at the privacy settings and the only thing there is Roxio Converted Items.
The file I was looking for in particular was a .Pages file, which I located in a sub-folder of my documents folder, but Spotlight refused to find it!
Is there anything I can try?

Hello Ben:
Files beginning with a period are usually hidden files to UNIX based systems. I am sorry I am away from my Macs so I cannot give you a pointer to displaying those files. Search help and the support part of this site for further information.
I also found that when I do a "find" I usually see what I am looking for by adding +system files+ to the search criteria.

List View Web part not showing all available views for list

We have added a list view web part to a page, and we get the "Current View" link in the web part...which is configurable when modifying the actual web part.
What we'd like to see (instead of having to click the ellipses button/context menu to get the other views) is the views displayed horizontally like when you are viewing the list itself.
When viewing the list itself, we see "All Items" "View 1" "View 2", etc.
Is this possible in the list view web part to display all available views in a horizontal/breadcrumb layout? Please advise.

The below works via alert, just need to now assign data to a <DIV> or element for display.
Trying this in simple webpart code snippet to get back all views:
    <script>
    var viewCollection = null;
        function runCode() {
            var clientContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
            if (clientContext != undefined && clientContext != null) {
                var web = clientContext.get_web();
                var listCollection = web.get_lists();
                var list = listCollection.getByTitle("MyListName");
                this.viewCollection = list.get_views();
                //var viewInfo = new SP.ViewCreationInformation();
                //viewInfo.set_title('MyView');
                //this.viewCollection.add(viewInfo);
                clientContext.load(this.viewCollection);
                clientContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQuerySucceeded), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQueryFailed));
        function onQuerySucceeded() {
            var viewInfo = 'Tasks list current views: \n\n';
            var viewEnumerator = this.viewCollection.getEnumerator();
            while (viewEnumerator.moveNext()) {
                var view = viewEnumerator.get_current();
                viewInfo += view.get_title() + '\n';
            alert(viewInfo);
        function onQueryFailed(sender, args) {
            alert('Request failed. ' + args.get_message() + '\n' + args.get_stackTrace());
    </script>

Icloud photostream share not showing all pictures

I made an icloud photostream share for my parents with some fotos. On iPhoto I can't see all the photos inside. On my iphone, istead, I do see all photos, the same happens on the web, i can see all photos there, too.
how can I force iphoto to sync the shared photostream album? thanks

Hi, thank you for your reply. I tried to do so already, and it still don't work. It only get worse.
here is what happened:
1) i created a share on photostream/icloud and added 3 persons to it.
2) i added 3 photos: A1.jpg, A2.jpg and A3.jpg
3) I made changes to my apple ID, so I had to disconect iphoto from icloud and reconnect it
4) my new photostream album don't show A1, A2 and A3, but says 3 persons have acces to it. I can see A1, A2 and A3 via web and on my iphone.
5) I added B1.jpg and B2.jpg via iphoto
6) On iphoto, i can only see B1 and B2
7) via web and on iphone i can see the A* and B* photos.
8) disconnected icloud and connected once more
9) my shared folder now shows no photos on iphoto, same as point 4
10) added C1 and C2.jpg
11) same problem, I can only see C1 and C2 on my iphoto, but all of the photos via web or iphone.
My standard photostream is not affected, only a photostream folder I shared with my friends, and only on my iphoto.
any other clues?
thanks

Recovery wizard in Server 2008 Backup not showing all available backups

We have a Windows 2008 R2 server with a dedicated USB drive for backups. I check the backup routinely and it appears to get a good backup every day. According to the logs, I have 79 copies of the backup available. But when I needed to restore a file this
morning, the Recovery Wizard only showed 3 days of backups to choose from, going back to last Friday.
How do I get the recovery wizard to see the other backups that are on that disk?
Thanks!

Hi,
According to your description, the backup may be configured incremental. It restores to earlier versions by using the Volume Shadow copy service which are stored on the external drive.
Optimizing Backup and Server Performance
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd759145.aspx
After the first full backup is created, you can configure Windows Server Backup to automatically run incremental backups by saving only the data that has changed since the last backup. Even if you choose to always perform full backups, your backup will
take less time than it did in earlier versions of Windows.
For more detailed information, you could refer to the article below:
Windows Server Backup Step-by-Step Guide for Windows Server 2008

Photoshop Open dialog does not show all files

I've been noticing that unconsitantly the Photoshop Open dialog does not show all PSD files in a folder, some are just plain missing. In Finder they show up like normal though. Anyone else with this problem?

The open and save dialogs are provided and mostly run by the OS, not the application.
It sounds like you might have a filter set on your open dialog (like the search option).

Lightroom not showing all photos avail for import

About a week ago, I tried to import some new photos into LR 3 (3.4.1 to be exact), and the import dialogue does not show all the photos that should be available for import.
The files are on my hard drive and there are approximately 200 photos in the file folder. When I open LR's import dialogue to import the photos (after navigating to the proper location to import from of course), it shows me 17 of the photos in the file folder! I selected "all" instead of "new" to see if that would make a difference and it did not. I made sure I did not have "do not import suspected duplicates" checked, even closed LR and rebooted my computer.... that didn't work.
I tried creating a new catalog to see if that would fix the issue, and it did not.
I'm not sure what else to try, or if there is a known fix out there (having a heck of a time finding one in my internet search!)
Any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks!
-KBP

Okay, so for giggles I tried checking in the Bridge to see if that changed anything... and it only showed the few files too. So I decided to "select all" and noticed at the bottom left that it listed the balance of my photos as "hidden." I have no idea how my files got hidden, or why it was only some and not others... but at least it's all fixed now and I can get back to what I need to do in LR!

Finder does not show all files from NAS

Hi there
I have a NAS attached to my mini where music, ... is stored. I can access it from both the mac as well as a PC.
for some reason the mac finder does not display all the files in the directory even though the files are there (i can see and open them when accessing the NAS through the PC). at the moment I only see this happen in a folder that contains video (mpg) files and some event must have triggered this strange behaviour because I could play the file sometime ago without problem.
also, some of the files are shown as a folder than a file in the finder. E.g. a clip called last_holiday.mpg would show as a folder (when you open it it is empty) rather than a video file.
I have tried to re-mount the share, but this has no effect.
Is this a bug or is there some wrong setting?
thanks for any help,
Chris

I have this same problem with mounted DAV server folders. I can see the files via Windows and other DAV clients -- just not via Finder. Moreover, it does not apply to all files: some of them do show up. And, it does not happen all of the time: just occasionally.

Photos 1.0 not showing all images from Photos Library.photoslibrary folder/file after update install

I installed the update that changed my iPhoto to Photos 1.0, and the new Photos program is not showing all images from Photos Library.photoslibrary file/folder (not sure to call it file or folder since it is actually a folder with all my pics but it acts more like a file) after update install. The Photos Library.photoslibrary file/folder shows to be 55 gb in size, and it shows to be loaded into the photos program, but there are maybe a few weeks of pictures showing instead of a few years. Lots of pictures in the 55 gb are not showing for some reason.

No - iPhotos has not replaced anything - it is new and an addition - iPhoto is still on your system in the applications folder and still works just fine
Outlook is not supported by Photos - not sure if the support must come form Apple or MS as Photos uses a different interface to external packages than iphoto did
