Weird issue - invisible folders/shares showing up for one user

I've *never* seen this happen before. One of our users, when using Illustrator, goes to open or save a file. In his file browsers, invisible shares keep appearing. If I unmount his network shares, the problem disappears. I just re-installed his system and that had no effect (archive and re-install). He's run into issues because he'd save files in what appears to be a MIRROR image of a network share and no one else can find his files.
I found something online that said to remove aliases from the /Network folder but I can't seem to delete the two entries....grrr
Here's a screenshot:

Well, I'm not certain, but I think, (lest things have changed), that some of the stuff from System Prefs & User Prefs go into reconstructing those invisible Folders/Files.
If you boot it into FWTDM you might try trashing those Invisibles, (automount & Servers) at root of that machine, as well as...
/Users/nnnn/Library/Preferences... the whole Prefs folder there.
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration... the whole SysConfig folder.
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.AppleFileServer.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.networkConfig.plist
Reboot... of course you dont have to trash them, you can just move them to the desktop to drag back if it doesn't work.
BTW, though there are many, I use Xupport...
http://www.xupport.ch/
to make the Finder show "invisibles" so I can GUI get rid of that stuff... along with it's Force Delete or whatever it's called.

  • Weird issues with file share using both SMB and AFP?

    I use my Xserve with 10.4 server primarily as a file server (with a huge RAID array attached via Ultra320 SCSI). I've served files from this server over SMB ("Windows" sharing) to both PCs and Macs for a few years now with no big issues. The files are being shared in a collaborative environment with extensive user accounts and ACLs set up.
    I would like to turn on AFP for these same file shares, so those accessing with a Mac can have the added benefits of AFP over SMB. However, I've heard some rumors of some complicated issues developing from the use of both AFP and SMB together on the same folders, in a mixed environment.
    The rumors I've heard are things that would happen rarely but enough for it to be significant. For example, a file created over SMB and then edited over AFP would have some problems being re-edited over SMB again, due to some complicated feature that the rumor is unable to explain (something with a resource fork or file locking?). Maybe something weird that just involves the Adobe Creative Suite?
    Anyway, I figured I'd throw this out there. Anyone who serves files over both protocols to a varied set of computers and applications having weird issues? Or is everything working for you? Thanks in advance.

    It's coming in as cropped with no way to fix it that I can see.
    Pressing space or opening in preview shows the full image but if it gets anywhere near Photoshop it comes in auto-cropped.
    I'm starting to this it's a bug and will be reporting it to Adobe.

  • UWL Subview does not show for one user

    Hi All - We have a UWL Subview. It is working fine except for one user. He cannot see the entire Subview drop down box at all. It is as if it does not exist. I've verified he has the tasks for the Subview to appear. Can anyone give some ideas as to what other possibilities this can happen? I've tried several things. Verified with security no roles exist for functionality within the UWL. The user have tried going to our QA system and logged in as a test user id - Subview visible. His ID is valid and active in ECC. If you don't have a direct answer, maybe you know of tools on how to debug or trace the UWL. I've seen two threads exactly like my situation and they receive no responses. Hopefully, there is something new to my request.
    Thanks in advance.

    The issue is resolved. In the Portal UWL Admin screen, the user showed personalization settings for the Subview. We decided to delete all entries. He can now see the Subview drop down. It is weird because on his own his access to his own personalization settings is empty.

  • Talent Search not showing name for one employee

    Hi
    I am facing issue in talent search, it is not showing employee name after search. This is happening only for one user, means surely it will be master data issue,application is working fine.
    But now I want where to see that data maintained.
    Please help with this if anyone knows about it.
    -Yogesh

    Hi Yogesh,
    If it is only one employee that it isn't showing for then it could be authorizations. Some other suggestions are:
    - Incorrect or no name for CP object
    - Incorrect authorizations of user used for delta-indexing
    My guess would to be to look at authorizations first.

  • Account search functinality is not working for one user in portal

    Hi friends,
    We have configured E.P 7.0 with CRM 5.0 and configured CRM PCUI business package.
    We have a role called <b>accounts and products</b> in portal. So accounts can be searched in this role.
    Now our severity issue is for one of the super user,for ex su1, accounts search is not working in portal but the same is working in CRM GUI.
    for example if we search for an account 233445(or any other account) in portal its showing no data found but if we search with the same criteria data is displaying CRM GUI.
    We have checked with other 2 super ids. Both ends portal and gui search is working fine.
    Am unable to figure out whats the cause of the issue as search is not working only for one user su1 .
    we have checked by restarting the server also to clear the memory cache.But still search is not working in portal.
    Could anyone of u please advice ASAP as this is severity issue.
    Thanks & Regards
    Sireesha.

    Hi srinivas,
      I have checked both the users credentials,permissions,groups in the GUI and also in the portal.
      Both of the users profiles are assigned as same.
       Could you please advice is there any other way to check it out?

  • How to open multiple sessions for one user?

    Sorry for the silly question but I couldn't find it googling or searching through this forum, so I started wondering whether it's possible in SQL Developer to open multiple sessions for one user. I'm fairly new to SQL Developer and databases in general.
    When I open SQL Developer and connect to a schema, a worksheet opens named MYSCHEMA. If I disconnect then connect, another worksheet opens, named MYSCHEMA~1. I assumed these were different sessions, but if I enter into one worksheet:
    select col1 from my_table where row_id = 1
    -- shows result is 1
    update my_table set col1 = 0 where row_id = 1
    select col1 from my_table where row_id = 1
    -- shows result is 0and then enter into the second worksheet:
    select col1 from my_table where row_id = 1
    -- shows result is 0I would have expected the second worksheet to report 1 because the first worksheet did not issue a COMMIT. Thus, I'd guess both worksheets are the same session? Is that right? If so, how do I have two sessions open simultaneously (opened by same user)?
    I'm trying to implement the code at the bottom of this post, for which testing requires at least two sessions:

    Thanks Jim,
    Ctrl-Shift-N doesn't do anything for me. I'm on a mac -- by experimenting it looks like command-N does what you're looking for. This appears to be the same as left-clicking on the "New" icon in the top left corner of SQL Developer, or selecting from the pull-down menu, File > New.
    This opens "Create a New" window that appears to be a wizard. What would I select at this point? Options are: Database Connection, Table, View, Package, ...
    I don't see an option for "Worksheet".
    UPDATE:
    OK, I found that if I select "SQL File", a worksheet becomes available. Perhaps this is what you intended. However, when I issue the command
    select col1 from my_table where row_id = 1;it still returns 0 instead of 1. Hmm, maybe my initial assumption was wrong -- if this is a second (e.g. different) session, should I expect the changes made in the first session in SQL Developer (the UPDATE command) WITHOUT a commit, to be observed in this second session? I thought that changes made in one session were not viewable in a different session until these changes are committed in the first session? If so, how to show this in SQL Developer? I must be missing something basic here.
    Or, is SQL Developer issuing some sort of "auto-commit" without my knowledge?

  • Find not working in GW 7 for one user

    The Find option does not show any results for one user. It works on Archived items. The user does have 14,000 sent items alone. Any step to take to fix this issue without having to recreate their account. Ran an analyse/fix and structural rebuild that didn't work.

    You could try going into the Display Properties of any folder, select the
    Find Results entry from the list and press Delete. Sometimes that entry
    can get corrupted and needs to be recreated, which will happen next time
    you run a Find.

  • Cannot open iSync for one user

    Hello ... After upgrade to 10.5.6 I can no longer open iSync for user A. For all other users iSync still opens and shows that it is the new version from 10.5.6. So the update worked, but iSync doesn't start at all for one user. I suspect that this user uses a device which is no longer supported in 10.5.6. I tried to remove the device from the list of Bluetooth devices and added it again. Didn't work.
    I have followed the Apple Hint http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627 for resetting in terminal the SyncServices but it hasn't changed anything.
    I reset all data via .me for this user. Didn't work.
    Any other idea? I would like to remove this phone from the list of iSync devices but I don't know how because I cannot open iSync.
    Best regards
    Valentin.

    Yep. That's what I did and it worked but afterwards I had to clean-up: Repairing permissions and then I reinstalled the Combo for being sure.
    In hindsight, I believe it must have been related to a permissions issues - something in the 10.5.6 installation process must have changed the permissions. I did repaired the permissions before the Combo installation but not afterwards so it's difficult to prove it now. But moving the package to my desktop and then back did change the permissions to read&write for my user A.
    Thanks.
    Valentin.

  • Tacacs authentication fails for one user account for only one switch

    Hi,

    Hi there,
    Does the user get authenticated in the ACS logs?
    reports and activity----> failed attempts
    ro
    reports and activity----->  passed authentications
    That will help narrow it down.

  • JSP page doesnt load for one user on machine1, but does 4 all on same box

    Hi,
    I have a Citrix application on a box to enable many users to connect remotely to different applications on differnt boxes using the browser on this box. Just like terminal Services or remote desktop
    I tested 15 users and all of them are able to login to the machine and able to open a jsp page of an application located on a differernt box using the browser on this box.
    But for one user I am facing an issue. For this user, I am not able to get the page and instead I only see a message as "page loading" and nothing more than that, Its getting stuck there itself with no progress.
    Please help me,
    Thanks a lot in advance,
    Srinivas.

    Hi,
    I suspect there is something missing as far as the JRE for this guy is concerned. Sothing to do with permissions. java policy, security etc.
    I am not sure if that helps. I am not in the development of the application, and will check with those guys. I only neeed to provode support on this machine and be able to give access to that application which is on Linux. The browser is in Windows machine,
    Thanks,

  • Synaptics touchpad on HP Mini 110 Windows 7 32 Bit - not working for one user - working for another

    Hi,
    I recently have an issue with Synaptics touchpad on HP Mini 110 Windows 7 32 Bit - NOT working for one user - working for another.
    Windows 7 updates recently installed ???
    By checking the device properties on the user that works - "Synaptics PS/2 Port Touchpad 13/10/2011 Version 15.3.29.0"
    When the other user logs on, the touchpad works for a few seconds, then a displays a black square with a red diagonal line through it, then the touchpad won't respond. Trying to use the keypad to navigate to system diagnosics or anything to find further info is useless....

    Hey eagle_no11,
    Thank you for joining the HP Support Community!
    I will do my best in assisting to hopefully get the TouchPad to work on the second user profile.
    What I would like to start off with, is to restore the original Synaptics drivers onto the profile that is not working correctly. I have included the document Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 7).
    Once you have installed the original drivers, you will need to complete all updates from both HP, as well as Windows. For these updates, if you open the HP Support Assistant, and select Maintain, you should see an option for updating.
    Please let me know how these steps do work out for you.
    Have a great day!

  • ODBC--connection to 'SQL Serverservername' failed for one user but not another

    In Win7, we're linking tables in an MS Access 2010 db to tables in a SQL Server 2008 R2 db. The driver user by the File dsn is SQL Server version 6.01.7601.17514 & we're using SQL Server Authentication.
    For some reason, one user gets the msg "ODBC--connection to 'SQL Serverservername' failed" before they're even asked for a password, but for other users, the prompt comes up and when they uncheck the Windows Auth box, they enter their password
    and connect successfully to the SQL Server db.  Both users have db_datareader access to the SQL Server db.
    I had the user that gets the error msg log onto my PC and they get the same error (yet it works for me.)
    This user was, however, able to successfully relink the tables, but then when we closed the access db and opened it again, the user got the "ODBC--connection..." error agin.
    I'm stumped as to why this is happening for one user.

    Hello Knellen,
    Please help to collect more log information regarding this issue, such as windows event log, SQL Sever log information. They are helpful for us to troubleshoot it.

  • Workflow no longer works for one user

    I have a state machine workflow that I built and deployed over a year ago. The workflow has run without issue until a few weeks ago, when one user complained that the workflow wasn't processing his approval.
    This user has been an approver since the workflow was first deployed. He was able to successfully approve as recently as last month. I have tested frequently with this user, and the issue is consistent. Once he completes the task he is assigned, the workflow
    doesn't seem to see that the task has changed. If any other approver completes the task (including myself) the workflow runs without issue. I even had the user login on a different computer, and he still encountered this issue. I also had him test this workflow
    on our staging environment, and on that server he doesn't encounter the issue and the workflow runs successfully, so this issue only occurs on our production environment.
    I don't feel there is a problem with the workflow due to the length of time it has worked successfully, and due to the fact that all of the other approvers (there are many) cannot reproduce the issue. My gut tells me it is a permission issue, but I have
    verified the user still has owner rights to the site, and that he has not had any name changes or other updates to his AD account. However, this issue is only occurring on production, and I am not aware of any changes made to permissions on this site. Has
    anyone else experienced this behavior?

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that the workflow cannot work fine when the user completed the tasks.
    I recommend to check if the user has permission on the task list the workflow uses.
    Open the workflow in SharePoint Designer and check the task list the workflow used in Workflow settings page of the corresponding workflow, then go to the List Permissions of the task list in the browser and click Check Permissions button in the ribbon to
    check if the user has permission on the task list.
    Thanks,
