Why does Finder not see files on formatted DVD-RW?

I recently did a drag and drop of more than 90 text and pdf files onto a formatted DVD-RW. The DVD now shows up as a blank disc. I swear that I managed to add a couple of files and see them in Finder at least twice. How do I get back into the files? Disc was formatted for RW using Disc Utility which still sees the 1.7 GB of data on the disc in Info. What happened?

Thanks Lex:
I don't think Invisible will help. Because I left the DVD-RW open after dragging and dropping files onto it there is no lead-out and the optical drive sees it only as a blank disc. Somehow I got back into the disk before but since the last OS update 10.8.4 I am unable to get the disc to mount. Seems I remember Bonjour finding and opening it once. Nothing since. Right now I'm leaning toward recreating the archive disc and then closing it as a data disc so I can mount it. I recall doing this open RW in years past so I could continually add other files until the disc was full. Protocols must have changed. Bob Mehaffey

Why does Find not see a visible file at Volume level?

I recently searched (Find) my iMac's internal hard drive for a file that I knew I had created ("MAC addresses.doc"), but it found no such file, either by File Name or Contents. I had to try to remember where I filed it, and then I found it in [Macintosh HD] > Library > Documentation > User Guides and Information. Searching (Find) again at the level of any folder within the volume, even Library, finds the file immediately, both by File Name and Content. The file has no unusual properties, and its Permissions allow everyone to at least Read it. This occurs even after repairing permissions of the volume. Why should the OS be unable to Find this file for me when searched on the volume name? Should I change some setting/preference in order to allow that (all files to be found at Volume level)?

Thanks Frank,
SYSTEM_PARAMETER is a table owned by X. If I qualify the select statement by adding the owner it works, but of course I do not want to do that. Here is the DDL for creating SYSTEM_PARAMETER:
create table SYSTEM_PARAMETER
name         VARCHAR2(256) not null,
date_value   DATE,
number_value NUMBER,
string_value VARCHAR2(512),
comments     VARCHAR2(512)
alter table SYSTEM_PARAMETER add constraint PK_SYSTEM_PARAMETER primary key (NAME);
Again, if I rewrite the procedure to the following (only difference is the red X.), it works:
create or replace procedure ztm_get_debug_level is
vc_pkg_name system_parameter.name%TYPE := 'DEBUG_LEVEL_PKG_BASE_KEYS';
vn_error     services.debug_log_level.debug_level_id%TYPE := 30;
v_debugLevel   system_parameter.number_value%TYPE;
function get_owner return varchar2 is
    cursor c1 is
    select owner from all_tables where table_name = 'SYSTEM_PARAMETER';
    v_Ret_Val VARCHAR2(30);
BEGIN
    OPEN C1;
    FETCH C1 INTO v_Ret_Val;
    CLOSE C1;
    RETURN v_Ret_Val;
END;
begin
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('AAAA - ' || get_owner);
select s.number_value
into   v_debugLevel
from   X.system_parameter s
where s.name = vc_pkg_name;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('BBBB');
exception
when no_data_found then
    NULL;
when others then
   DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('p_get_debug_level.WHEN OTHERS');
   raise;
end;
This procedure exists in 4 other environments where there are no issues. It can't be a privileges issue as the table is owned by user X and as you can see by the lookup (which was added for debug) against ALL_TABLES the owner is clearly X. So, why can X not select from it's own table unless we include the owner?
Thanks,
Thomas

HT201413 Why does iTunes not see my iPod when connected?

My computer does not see my ipod when I connect it to it. Nor does it come up in iTunes. How can I sync my music with this problem going on?

Try one or more of the following:
> Restart your computer
> Uninstall & Reinstall iTunes
> Reset iDevice Settings (will not delete everything)
> Go to My Computer (Windows XP) or Computer (Windows Vista & 7) and see if your iDevice shows (should show as a digital camera)
> Restore iDevice completely (will delete everything)
> Make sure both iTunes and iOS firmware is Up-To-Date
iPod Classic driver not recognized in Windows 7. Tried to "troubleshoot," message says "Not Fixed." No recommendations - Microsoft Answers
iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows
Hope this helps.

Why does Finder think a file or folder is modified when it has only been opened (not re-saved)?

I try to use the Finder to sort my folders and files by Date Modified so I can quickly access my current projects/files/folders and keep them on the top of the list. Whenever I open an older file to just see what's in it Finder thinks that the file has been modified. I don't change anything or re-save it, I just open it and close it. This makes the Date Modified sort pretty much identical to the Date Last Opened sort.
1) Is there a way to stop this behavior?
2) Is there a way to sort by Date Last Saved?

Please re-read my original question and post. Your answers don't help me and I wonder if I haven't written my post correctly to communicate my desire.
I currently use the Finder to sort my files by "date modified", but I want to use the Finder to sort by "date last saved", but it doesn't have that option. Many times I open a file just to explore what's in it, then I close it without changing anything or saving it - but when I do the Finder thinks I have "modified" it, and it puts that file at the top of the list. I didn't modify it, but Finder treats it like I did.

Why am I not seeing file.encoding option in file sender/receiver communicat

Good Morning Everyone,,
I am not able to find file.encoding option in both sender/receiver communication channels on my XI system. Is it something to do with Java Runtime character sets installed on the XI system?
Do we need to setup something to make it available? thanks in advance...

Hi,
Please specify File Type parameter as Text (By default it is Binary)
For File type parameter Text the file encoding will be displayed, UTF-8 is by default encoding used.
Please see below links also

Why does finder not actually find?!!!!

I shouldn't have to be asking this surely!!?
I click "all my files" on Finder which I assume is "all my files" or downloads if i have downloaded and I search for something (very often exactly as spelled) I have just downloaded or many times just files I have already and either it can't find it or it sits way down the list after loads of unrelated files?
When I enter a search string in to something that is made for searching I expect it to find it! Finder seems to have special secret ways of finding that I am not party too!
Can someone please explain why this is so? And in advance there is no and I mean NO reason why there should be any other setting on first opening finder other than just FIND WHAT I ASK FOR! So please just straight answers no tutting or RTFM replies.
Hhhhhhhhelllllllp me thankyou

Bottom of list, which doesn't make sense as it is prioritising files with the word within the file, and not what you would expect, which would be files actually called that in the title!
Cmd-ctrl-shift-F will find by name. Spotlight is designed to find content.
Or, on a normal (cmd-F) find, choose name matches from the token list.

Why will finder not order files by last modified?

Finder has an option to arrange files by last modified, which I have enabled: http://i.imgur.com/rOfwz1O.png
This doesn't do what is says though, it groups files last modified with a particular time frame (today, yesterday, last week, etc.) and shows them alphabetically within that group.
To illustrate this problem create 3 files, a, b, c
-rw-r--r-- 1 admin staff 0 11 Oct 13:04 a
-rw-r--r-- 1 admin staff 0 11 Oct 13:03 b
-rw-r--r-- 1 admin staff 0 11 Oct 13:04 c
As you can see 'b' was created a minute before 'a' and 'c', yet in finder with the arrange by last modified option enabled they still appear in alphabetical order: http://i.imgur.com/4cVRTdD.png
How do I get true chronological ordering of files in OSX?
Thanks for any help

By what you describe, it is arranging files by last modified. But, it appears you want to Sort by last modified.
Set the Arrangement to None, then option click the button (or menu item). It will switch to Sorting options.
You can set an Arrangement and also sort within the groups of the arrangement.

Why Does Java not see 0 or 1 as false and true

hello,
all other languages i have worked with see a 0 and 1 as a true or false value
for instance...in perl this would be the case
if ( 0 ) same of javas if ( false )
or
if ( 1 ) same as javas if ( true )
same with javascript
im am asking if there is a way in java to use the boolean type or object in this way. seems strange to me to store "true" or "false" as a varchar in a database when with all other languages you can store 0 or 1...faster to store int's

Many of the differences the creators of Java made in the language were to address what they saw as problematic features in other languages. This is one of those cases.
How many nasty, hard-to-find bugs in C or Perl do you think have been caused by this kind of mistake: int cnt ;
cnt = howMany() ;
if (cnt = 0) /* whoops: should be == */

ITunes says 3.2.2 is current for iPad. Why does it not see the new 4.2

My computer is running Vista. I have been using the newest iTunes 10.1.0.54 for a while now, but when I plug my iPad in, iTunes tells me that my iPad is up to date with 3.2.2.
Can anyone shed some light on why it's saying this. I have no other way of downloading the new OS?

If history is to be trusted, it should hit at roughly noon my time (central). So 10:00 by Cupertino time. Sorry, I don't know about UK time zones. I would say 8 more minutes, give or take an hour.

Why does brasero not burn a DVD?

I have a DVD to burn, but every time I run Brasero I get a message to insert an empty disk or otherwise it will attempt to make an image. With the empty disk inserted seems like brasero does not see the device and disk.
With my external DVD writer connected I can't burn anything to it. The user is added to optical group and the device is found. Growisofs however works with the provided path. Why does brasero not see the writer and how do I make it burn the dvd?

A likely cause of this error is that some program did not report memory usage correctly to the OS.
This ARTICLE will give tips on finding "clues" as to what was happening at that moment. Chances are good that that program, or Process is identified somewhere in the Event Viewer. Now, be prepared to do a bit of reading, but follow EVERY link in any of the error, or warning messages.
Good luck,

After importing images from my card using LR 5.4, the GPS data does not show in the metadata panel. However, when I look at the imported images using Bridge, the GPS data is visible. Anybody know why LR is not seeing the GPS data? Camera is Canon 6D.

Ok, the issue seem to be solved. The problem was this:
The many hundred files (raw and xmp per image) have been downloaded by ftp in no specific order. Means - a couple of files in the download queue - both raw and xmps. Most of the time, the small xmp files have been finished loading first and hence the "last change date" of these xmp files was OLDER than the "last change date" of the raw file - Lightroom then seem to ignore the existence of the xmp file and does not read it during import.(a minute is enough to run into the problem)
By simply using the ftp client in a way that all large raw files get downloaded first followed by the xmp files, we achieved that all "last changed dates" of the xmp files are NEWER than the related raw files. (at least not older)
And then LR is reading them and all metadata information has been set / read correctly.
So this is solved.

Why does iphoto not copy all photos when transfering

Hi peeps.
why does iPhoto not copy all photos from an event when im copy/pasting to an external folder on my mac(for later transfer). All softwares are up to date and ive only just realised it happens, but when i copy all pics in an event then paste in a folder, the pic count is substantially different. for example i select all pictures in an event called 'new1', the count of files is 188. i then copy/ paste to a folder, select all files and check 'info' and it says 141 files???
all i can see painstakingly going through to compare which images are in each place is that the ones that arent in my new folder , seem to be the ones ive edited in iPhoto?? conincidence? or am I missing something fundamental here? Ive only just realised this is occuring. The trouble is, after moving images to folders/hard drives I subsequently delete them from iphoto to keep my macbook airs HDD with some space. So basically all of the versions of pictures I want, i.e, the new edited and adjusted versions are no longer! NOT HANDY!
help please.

We've seen a few reports of this in the past while and no one is sure of the cause.
Use the File -> Export command. See this User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
for details of the options the Export Dialogue offers.

The trouble is, after moving images to folders/hard drives I subsequently delete them from iphoto to keep my macbook airs HDD with some space.
means you are losing quality, metadata and the version of control. If you don't want these why use iPhoto at all?
You could just move the whole Library to an external:
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit iPhoto
2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
