Why are my files greyed out and say zero kb?

Hey all,
I've recently upgraded to mavrics and am having trouble accessing files on one of my hard drives. I didn't have this problem with mountiain lion. I've tried all of the ussual fixes. Disk utility doesn't find any errors, the permissions seem correct. When I check the info on these files it says I have read and write aceess to them. It's very bizzare. Some files aren't greyed out, and the display the correct size and what not. What should I do? Thank You!

I have the same problem. I've reset file creation and mod dates. Didn't help.
This is on a 3TB Fusion Drive.

  • Trying to update my apps...all apps are greyed out and say waiting.

    ..all apps are greyed out and say waiting. This has been going on for a day. I have reset my setting turned off my iPad and no changes

    Maybe one of these suggestions will work. Ignore any that you have already tried.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
    If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

    Hello Philly,
    I believe that when you reset your ipod(command given from the computer, right?)  touch WHILE the ipod was updating, It cleared the system in the middle of writing files, thus corrupting(equivalent of cutting of in the middle of a sentence) the basic running system.
    I suggest you go to an apple store and ask for a technical diagonosis in person. they may offer to help if the problem is fixable. If your ipod is still under warrenty, i would guess it would be free/low cost.

  • Why are Distort filters greyed out in Photoshop CC?

  • Why are my permissions greyed out when sharing a fat32 drive?

    I want to share a Fat32 drive between two macs on my network but the read/write permissions are greyed out. I can't reformat to ex-fat or the mac format HFS because I also want to use this drive in my TV and that only accepts Fat32 drives.
    Is there a way that I can work around this to share a Fat32 drive on my mac network?
    ...I've also tried accessing the drive using SMB as I've read about this as a suggested workaround but get an error message when it tries to mount the drive (I'm not sharing mac to windows, just mac to mac).

    any luck on this Bevymay? I have the same issue.

  • Why is "Choose File" greyed out when using Safari on an iPad?

    I'm an Apple newbie, being in the PC World for a long time and have just got an iPad.
    I use a number of websites which I upload content to by way of word docs, pdfs, presentations etc. Usually Safari on a PC or MAC has a "choose file" button where the file is selected for upload, however on my iPad this is greyed out...?
    I have both transferred docs and presentations to the iPad via iTunes and created them on the iPad using Pages and Keynote but still the button is greyed out.
    I hope it is something I am doing wrong or an incorrect setting rather than a "feature" of iPads.
    Thanks for your help in advance.

    Can you give an example? The app GoodReader has a function where you enter a URL and it will download the item. A lot of times in safari when you touch a download it will give you an option to copy the address. That copies it to the clipboard when you can then paste it in the GoodReader app.

  • Why is my wireless greyed out and how do i fix it

    My wireless is greyed out for about a week now how do i fix this???

    Bluetooth or Wi-Fi grayed out

  • Why is it that no sooner do I update my iTouch 3G 32GB to iOS 4.3.5 that suddenly I can't use Wi-Fi anymore? The bar is greyed out and says "No Wifi". I can't use bluetooth either.

    Is Apple not worried about the older models or what? My iPod was perfectly fine up until the 4.3.5 update. Now, I've lost about three or four $4.99+ games that I can't redownload for free, a whole music album, and I can't use wi-fi or bluetooth. I can't send in my iPod to get it fixed if that's the problem because my warranty's expired. I can't even find out if there is a problem without buying a help session. What's going on? It's almost like I need to buy a brand new iPod, and I don't have $300 to spend because Apple decided that the new iPods are more important than the old ones. Is there anyway I can fix this without downgrading or buying a brand new $300 iTouch?

    Resolution
    If you encounter this issue, try the following steps and attempt to enable Wi-Fi or Bluetooth after each one.
    Verify that Airplane Mode is turned off.
    Update your iOS device to the latest version of iOS.
    Reset Network Settings. To do this, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
    Restore your iOS device in iTunes.
    If you are still unable to turn Wi-Fi or Bluetooth on or off after attempting these steps, contact Apple or your wireless carrier for additional assistance.

  • Why are these files showing? and how do i get rid/hide them?

    can anyone tell me a fix to hide these greyed/faded out files and folders? they are littered around EVERYWHERE on my mac, even in my external hard drive. Also, why is there a file called .DS_Store on my desktop? i've tried putting it in the trash and emptying it but it just appears again! thanks in advance.

    1. Open the AppleScript Editor in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and run the following:
    tell application "Finder" to quit
    if (do shell script "defaults read com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles") is "1" then
    do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 0"
    else
    do shell script "defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles 1"
    end if
    delay 2
    tell application "Finder" to run
    If you change your mind later, run the script again.
    2. To store the metadata associated with items on the desktop.
