Sync missing files in ~/Documents only

Here goes.
– Login on client1 (not a first time login)
– create a file in ~Documents, get's synced to server in background or at logout (checked on the server so it's there alright).
– Logout
– Login on client2 (not a first time login)
– Sync at login or in background doesn't matter, sometimes the new files won't get synced from the server in ~/Documents, all the other ~ folders sync nicely thu.
…however if I create a new file in ~/Documents on client2, and force a sync or logout for sync to occur; that new file get's moved to the server – and the new files from client 1 get's synced to client2.
Thinking about scripting a touch on some file in ~/Documents, so it always get changed at login, so the sync occur there aswell on all files.

Hi,
Please check if it's hidden:
Control Panel, Folder Options, View Tab, Check mark Show Hidden Files & Folders, Uncheck Hide protected Operating System Files and check show hidden files, folders and drivers.
If it still disappear, it should be permanently deleted. You need to ask for some professional recovery company to get the data.

  • IWeb tells me there is a missing file/document (one I supposed am linked to

    EVERY time I open up iWeb it bring up a screen saying there is a missing file (a document that I guess I've linked to). The problem is that I can't find the post in my blog where I'm supposedly linking to this file.
    I've checked every post in my blog including what is in the archives and I can't find it. I've checked every page (there aren't many) for the website and I can't find any place where I'm linking to this supposed file. Even more frustrating I can't figure out where it thinks I'm expecting this file to be in whatever post is pointing to this file.
    This missing file is NOT a program file. It has to be a document that I'm linking to. Any ideas on how to find it?

    Some Firefox add-ons like DownloadHelper work in the background and wait to download a video until the video has been completely rendered on your screen, so if you try to close Firefox while such an add-on is working, you will get that message.
    If you ever installed an add-on like that and then uninstalled it, you may have residual data in your Firefox profile that is telling Firefox there is still an unfinished download.
    To clear all downloads, from the Firefox menu bar, open
    Tools -> Clear Recent History -> Time Range
    Select Everything for a time range, and only check the box below that for Browsing and Download History.
    This will clear your entire history, so if you have any tabs or windows open that you wish to remember, bookmark those windows and tabs in a temporary bookmark folder before proceeding.

  • Some files in "DOCUMENTS" icon in dock won't open. Get msg saying You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." Have Pages 4.1 installed.  Same files will open ok from Finder, Pages App. Recently sync'd with ipad2 (Pages) after iOS5 installed.

    Some files in "DOCUMENTS" icon in dock won't open. Get msg saying "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document." Already have Pages 4.1 installed.  Same files will open ok from Finder/Pages App./selected file. Prob not noted until recently after sync'd with ipad2 (Pages) when I installed iOS5. Anyone-- please?!

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

  • For all of you, who gets "missing file" error on syncing theirs photos

    I dont really knows any better way of correcting this error when deleting "iPod photo cache" -file doesn't help, but here is my answer to that. If somebody knows a better solution, plase tell it to all of us.
    I was getting an "unknown errorcode -39" and that "missing file" messages every time i try to sync my photos from my Windows 7 based computer to the iPad. It seems to me that there are something wrong on the iPed side but how to corrrect it (and i dont know anything on how apple works)?
    Just as i was gioing to give up, i realize that there must be two caches in sync, one for sender (for itunes) and one for a receiver (for example iPade) side. Both must be in sync whith themselfs and in a filesystem on their side. Easy part is on iTunes side, just delete the cache (thats because its contents can and will be recreated using the local filesystem information only).
    The other side (iPhone or iPad) is much more harder to do as there are not (or i dont have found it) any simple solution to do it. There are only one solution which i have found to be solve this problem (every time) and it is that you have to get a sync target to think that it is being sync on a different iTunes photo library (even when its empty). If this works, then you get a iTunes message saying that "are you sure?, as if you continue ALL FILES ARE DELETED when your are resynced on different photolibrary". That is just what we wanted. For myself it has worked every time, but it takes time, as you must resync it twice (once in an alien or differentt, and back to the original or updated photolibrary).
    Those who knows better, comments please?

    Part 2.
    Another thing that all Encore users ought to regularly offer up a daily prayer of thanks for is the PSD support for menus.
    Let me tell you a little story, all about how bloody awkward it
    i can
    be, again using Industry Standard "Flagship" applications.
    The little saga above about the additional _HL_LB image completely forgot to mention that there is a very nasty scaling issue awaiting the ignorant (like me).
    It doesn't scale the letterbox image automatically.
    SO, it's a case of as usual, preparing all Widescreen assets in anamorphic mode (create & design in PS using PAR correction, reshape image to Square Pixels)
    Duplicate the _HL for the _HL_LB image.
    Now, because of the rescaling issue, take this into PS, and resize the image to 720x360, then resize the
    i canvas
    to 720x480, making certain your background is white, as failure to do this will mean the Letterboxed SPHL are incorrectly scaled, although the button hotspots are in the right place.
    Aargh - if it was not for the "Phone A Friend" option, I would still be stuck on this.

  • Error opening document: missing file

    I have a Pages template that has started opening up with the following error box:
    The following errors occurred while trying to open this document:
    Missing file: businesscircles_logosgrey.pdf
    When I hit "continue", the document (template) opens up fine and appears to be missing nothing. I've searched my computer for the missing file and it doesn't exist (and I have no recollection of why I'd insert a pdf into a template anyway...)
    Within Pages I've clicked in View>Show Invisibles, thinking that might reveal something. It didn't.
    Any ideas? Thanks!
    PS I am running Pages 2.0

    Hello,
    I had this problem a while ago with an old version 1.x file when open it in Pages 2. After some examination, it seems to appear with placeholder objects mainly (like the image you are writing about). But this was the only time I encountered the problem.
    Argelius,
    try to copy the image from the business letter template with this steps:
    1) Click on the Pages app icon with holding the control key down and choose the item "Show the Package Content" of the appearing menu.
    2) Navigate to the business letter template "Contents/Resources/<YourUsedLanguage>.lproj/Templates/ISO/Stationery/" (or "Traditional" instead of "ISO" if you are using Legal and no DIN letter sizes).
    3) Do "Show the Package Content" on the letter icon and you will see a new window with all the content of the letter.
    4) Search for the image and copy it.
    5) Show your own letter document (the document should be closed in Pages), with which the error appears, and show the package content.
    6) Paste the image into the package folder.
    Now the error message should not appear by opening the document. Search your document if the logo image is placed in it. If yes, have a look at the menu "Format/Advanced/" if the image is marked as a placeholder image. Deactivate this and than delete the image. Save the document (perhaps as a duplication) and close it. See if the problem is gone by open the new document again.

  • Ipod syncing error, file missing on both computers?

    We're leaving for Hawaii June 24, so I'm hoping to fix this before then. Yesterday I plugged my ipod in to put some music on, and it froze and lost everything. I restored it, and while manually putting music back on, the message "the ipod 'braxtons ipod' cannot sync. the file is missing" or around those words. This happened after about 400 songs had been put on. So I tried it on my other computer, same thing after a while. The only way to fix this is restore the ipod. I have uninstalled itunes and quicktime, reinstalled on both computers, restored my ipod several times, but it keeps happening. A majority of my music will load onto the ipod, but then it stops syncing and I can't put anything else on. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Was the message about a missing firmware file? See if anything here helps: What to do if iPod can't be updated because the firmware file was corrupt or not found

  • MS Word: This file is read-only. To save a copy, click OK, and give the document a new name in the save dialog box.

    This is not a question. I believe I've found a new issue and the fix for it.
    The situation:
    A brand new iMac 27" running Yosemite 10.10.1
    MacMini server running 10.8.5 server.
    The issue:
    Client on iMac trying to work on MS Word documents stored on server was requiring him to save the documents to his desktop and then copy them back to the folder on the server. The exact error message was, "This file is read-only. To save a copy, click OK, and give the document a new name in the save dialog box."
    The issue is unique to this computer in an office of 10 client computers and three servers.
    Attempted fixes:
    Verified that the ".Temporaryitems" folder existed and the permissions were set properly.
    Repaired permissions on the client and the network share.
    Definitive fix:
    By default, Yosemite 10.10.1 uses SMB for connecting file shares. When I overrode the default and switched to AFP protocol, the issue went away.
    I hope this helps someone else.

    That was it. What an operating system. It is very helpful to view files you are looking for. But if you have preview on you cannot save files.

  • I am not able to use Firefox with Sharepoint - I can only open a file in read-only mode and cannot checkout the document and edit.

    I would like to use Firefox with Sharepoint.
    However, I am only able to open a file in "read only" mode whch means I cannot edit the document and save it. I am also not able to "check-out" a document in Sharepoint and edit it at the same time.

    This may not work for everyone, but I solved this problem by clicking on the file name in sharepoint, not the document icon to the left of the name. This then brought up the various options, including checking out, editing, version history etc. It seems obvious but I have only just realised this!

  • I transferred my music to a larger hard drive and when I went to sync to iTunes there half my library had a '!' next to the songs. After I located one song the question 'would you like itunes to find other missing files' came up. What does this mean?

    I recently transferred my music from one external hard drive to another and when I went to sync it to iTunes half my music had a '!' symbol on the left side, which meant that the songs weren't located. When I went to locate one of the songs it asked me if I wanted iTunes to find other missing files, which I said yes. What happens next and what is iTunes doing to find the missing files? 

    iTunes is a database.  When you import songs to the database, it records the location of that song, so that when you play, or sync the song iTunes knows where to look for it.
    When you moved your music to a different location, iTunes can't find it because you didn't tell iTunes that you moved the music.
    You'll have to re-add those songs that you moved to your itunes library.  Your best bet is going to be to delete all the songs in your library and then go to File > Add folder to library > and then find your music folder on the new external hard drive.
    Also, the external drive HAS to be connected in order for iTunes to find it.

    My MacBook Pro keeps making copies of a document that I am trying to save. I don't want to duplicate the file. I only want to save it on both my hard drive and my external hard drive. I do not want to change its name for every save, which the computer seems insistent on doing. Help!!

    Sounds like a permissions problem ie read only.

  • Safari gives "Missing Plug-in" message only on .mov to .flv converted files

    I've converted an iMovie file to .flv but when I try to view I get a "Missing Plug-In" message. Though I have no problem viewing Youtube or any other flash videos. Could you please try my link below. If you can view it, it tells me the problem is with my Safari. If not, then there's a problem with my converted video file. Please help me narrow this down. Here's the link. Thank you.
    http://www.firmimage.ca/35Kingsbridge2606flash.php

    I've used 2 different 3rd party converters. iSkysoft iMedia Converter Deluxe & Flv Crunch but only their trial versions. Wanted to see if it works before I purchase. Could that be the issue. When I try to get file info, I only see a blank page as the icon unlike, for example the icon you see when you get info. on a Quicktime video file. Also, the "preview" option on file info. does not work, which could be telling me that there's something wrong with the converted file. Were you able to view the flash video on my link?

  • Repair for missing "open recent" documents option in my File Menu?

    Can someone suggest how to  repair a missing "open recent" documents option in my File Menu? I'm using CS5 Indesign.
    There's no option for it greyed out or otherwise. It originally had dissappeared while using CS4. I gave up on it. Installed CS5 and hoped it would come back: nada. I did the Ctrl-Alt-Shift thing and deleted prefs file: Still no recent docs option. VERY IRRITATING.
    There's got to be a way. But I'm not informed enough. Help, please?

    This is easily fixed...took me a while to find out how.
    Go into Preferences, click on File Handling...you will then see a page with 'Saving InDesign Files' in the middle section (See attached screen grab).  You'll see a box next to 'Number of Recent Items to Display' which I'm assuming will be '0'...change this to any number up to 99.  Click OK. Close InDesign.  Reopen InDesign...Open a file, close the file...you will now see the 'Open Recent' link when you click on file.
    Problem solved.

  • "AdobeFnt13.lst" file missing in the document fonts folder

    Hello,
    I have a bug with Indesign CS5, the "AdobeFnt13.lst" file is now missing in my document fonts folders, even after reinstall of ID.
    I deleted the Preferences folder, font cache etc. nothing works so far.
    An idea someone ?

    YES !
    It's solved now.
    In fact I had a bug with the colour panel a week before this problem and I reinstalled ID a first time (back to the 7.0 version).
    I didn't know about this patch.
    Thank you very much !

  • Is there a way to Move files to the iCloud thus freeing up disk space on my Mac? Or does iCloud only sync (replicate) files between my Mac and the cloud?

    Is there a way to Move files to the iCloud thus freeing up disk space on my Mac? Or does iCloud only sync (replicate) files between my Mac and the cloud? I want to free up disk space on my Mac and assumed that the icloud would be a good way to do this, but having 'moved' 70Gb of files to the iCloud drive (I've upgraded to 200Gb storage) my Mac is still nearly full and I've realised that it seems to just Sync files just like dropbox.

    So, the big question is did the Apple guys confirm that this is how the new iCloud drive should be working?  I'm guessing, from your response, that this is indeed the case.  Are they going to fix this anytime soon?  I thought that this was a new function of the iCloud drive in Yosemite.
    I just want an online storage facility to back up my photo & music collections.  I did look at Dropbox as they have a good deal going with their Dropbox Pro, however this is still just a sync service where the Master files reside on your local disk drive - although I have read that there may be a way to work around this.  Still not ideal.
