iMac stopped book content display

My new iMac has ceased to display the contents of some directories. If I select 'Get Info' some files appear, but not all. A counter appears at the bottom right of the finder for the directory window. Listing of the directory of the Terminal application, shows all files. Restart the computer to make the problem goes away, but it comes back eventually. Directories concerned are all my files user as Documents, downloads, utilities etc., external drives seem OK.

Please read this message before doing anything.

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It is unlikely to solve your problem. Don't be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.

The test is intended to determine if the problem is caused by a third-party software that loads automatically at startup or logon, by a device, by a police conflict or corruption of system files or some system caches.

Disconnect all devices wired except those required to test and remove all the expansion cards from secondary market, as appropriate. Start in safe mode and log on to the account of the problem.

Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or an earlier version, or if a firmware password is defined, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can not do this. Ask for additional instructions.

Safe mode is much slower to boot and run as normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things work at all, including an audio output and a Wi - Fi connection on some models. The next normal boot can also be a bit slow.

The login screen is displayed even if you usually connect automatically. You need your password to log on. If you have forgotten the password, you will have to reset it before you begin.

Test in safe mode. Same problem?

After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and make sure you always have the problem. View the results of the test.

  • Can not get the address book to display the email addresses of the contacts

    I moved BT mail using Thunderbird to access my emails. Everything went OK, until I tried to import my

I will admit that I do not understand the menu you want to move the two columns from top to bottom after importing the csv file. Please can you explain what I'm doing wrong here. All I want is first name, last name and email showing in the address book. Thank you

    I tried to write a procedure to http://thunderbirdtweaks.blogspot.com.au/2013/03/importing-csv-files.html some time ago here. but the thing is if you change the columns in the CSV file in a spreadsheet, first match that Thunderbird expected (both in name and order), then you don't need to play with this terrible UI that aligns with the name of the field name of the field.

    It is in this dialogue if you have the family name next to the e-mail address of the family name is considered to be the email address.

  • our and twitch.tv do load properly (no content displayed) deleted the cookies/cache, nodnsprefetch, no proxy, safe mode, did not help!

    The approximate layout works very well, but the real tv-content (contraction) or the real message (ggroups) texts will not be displayed. Also, by clicking on the wheel of preferences in ggroups will display a small empty box instead of a drop-down list filled with stuff.

    Note that youtube and google search normal, pages provider freemail, news pages and basically all the other pages I can think of work normally and 100%!

    I use linux 64-bit, firefox 22. However, this problem is not new, it's happened with older versions of ff too. I'm just tired of pulling up chrome every time, so I decided to report it here for a solution.

    Well, after you move a large number of files and the contents of the file autour, I found a solution:

    Delete the line

    Made a couple of times and always stops here. Check the disc and is ok. Ran memory diagnosis and ok. What can I do now?

    If SFC finds serious errors that it cannot repair, you may need to do a upgrade Vista repair install.

    If you do not have a DVD of Microsoft Vista, borrow one from a friend.

  • I install app and all the collections to open as a content display! but no work!

    I have set up my application and all collections in it to open as a content display! but does not work! Everything opens in browser layout why it does not work?

    Can anyone explain it please! I want just the open application as a standard magazine from left to right! without a browser in each collection page! Is it possible? I tried several times and nothing!

    Thank you in advance to all the world!

    Whenever you launch a top-level collection, the collection appears as a navigation instead of the content display page. For example, if you create a collection and set the display of content, opening this collection from the app menu will display the page go, but the opening that same collection since another collection (for example, the 'House' collection) will honor the content view and view the first article. My guess is that you have started your collections from the app menu.

  • Stop playing content in a tab when you open another

    Hello.

    I use Panel tabs and I have a video player in a tab and an audio player in another.

    Is there a way to stop the content being played (for ex audio player) when I go to another tab, just as it would if I open another page in the site?

    Thanks in advance.

    Not without massive rewiring of the scripts of the underlying, since you must intercept the change event and connect with the player controls. There may be other widgets which check the visibility of content, but with the default value you might consider a different approach as actually loading different pages.

  • Using the CD/DVD drive on an iMac used as secondary display

  • iMac darkens when in display mode using target (TDM) and the lack of brightness slider!

    Hi all

    I use a MacBook Pro (13 "to end 2011) and iMac (27", by the end of 2012). Both are up to date, running El Capitan 10.11.5. They are connected with a thunderbolt cable in order to use the iMac as a second screen (TDM).

    Now, when I press CMD + F2 to the iMac, iMac gets used as second screen as expected, but it goes really dark! He's not black, you can still see the desktop but on a sunny day, it's really hard to see anything. Now, it's pretty embarrassing, but the second part of the question makes it a pain in the *. When the iMac is dark, I always go to the system preferences and open the settings for the display. I can see a window with the parameters for the iMac, but there is no cursor for the brightness! There is no way to make it brighter!

    The only solution is to disable the target (CMD + F2) just display mode to enable it again after a few seconds. Sometimes I have to activate the TDM twice but sometimes it takes 4 or 5 loops toggle just to see the brightness slider!

    Here is a screenshot of the settings without the cursor window

    And that's what it looks like after a few loops, and then I can adjust the brightness.

    Any ideas why this happens? Any advice on a possible solution? Why - what is darkening the iMac? Why is the cursor missing?

    Best,

    Stephan
