that appear empty folders

Why my folders appear empty?  It happens more often now and I fear that something is really wrong with this thing.   I have to restart the Finder for files to reappear.  and then it happens again as I open other folders. I need help please!   It's driving me crazy.

Rebuilding Spotlight index could solve the problem.

  • Duplicate the 'Favorites' and 'Music' folders that appear.

    In my file user a few months ago I noticed that I had two folders called 'Favorites '. I deleted one of them only a few times to make it reappear later.  Today, I noticed another problem of dupe. I have now two "Favorites" and two records 'music '. Does anyone have an idea of what is causing this and a resolution possible?

    Example: http://www.thecaldwellfamily.net/rjc/images/Clipboard-1.gif

    With the favorite dupe files one is empty and one actually contains the Favorites of IE. For music files, it is empty and contains in fact all of the music stored on my PC. One that is empty display a normal folder icon while one that contains music shows the blue note CD icon. (as shown in the image link)  I tried to remove two empty folders but when I reboot him reappear. I've been using MS Security Essentials and keep up-to-date and analysis since it was released.

    I think I can have it fixed for now however.  It seems that some combinations of iTunes and TuneBite creates a bunch of 'ghost' (i.e. folders hidden / system) and some were 'linked' to Favorites and music files.  When another application would attempt to access these folders (for example WMP or IE) apps could not find records and create duplicates.  I did some digging in the properties of the records and found the "Restore Default" button in the location tab. When you click on that I noticed that the place has changed the name of folder long ghost the correct path of "C:\Users\\Music" and "C:\Users\\Favorites.

    Everything seems to be fine now, but if I have additional problems, I will use your suggestions to create a new user and copy only the data through. I'm just trying to not have to re - import my mail again. I am a digital packrat and have mail dating back to 1995 it takes awhile. :)

  • Files with the help of Transcend F25 external USB Drive: copy, but I don't see that empty folders (disk size indicates that the files are still there, though)

    Hello-

    I use Windows 7 Professional and everything seems to work very well. I joined my new Transcend f25 USB (300g) to use for backups. I copied on about 20 concerts of archives and had run Windows it's first backup.

    Everything seemed fine, and the available space on the disc is now about 230g, that sounds right. The problem is I see only empty folders on disk!

    Now, I know with certainty that the files are there because I tried to plug the drive in an old laptop XP - bingo there was all my files! Can someone advise me? This seems to be a configuration problem, or maybe a drive error. The files were there when I added in the first place, however, is very strange!

    How can I see my files? Help!

    Thanks, Dave

    Check the disk for errors by using this procedure.
    1. open the computer by clicking the Start button, click computer.

    2 - Click on the drive you want to check, and then click Properties.

    3. click on the Tools tab and then, under check for errors, click Find now.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    To automatically repair problems with files and folders that the scan detects, select automatically fix file system errors. Otherwise, the disk check will be a problem, but not to fix them.

    To perform a thorough check, select search and attempt to recover bad sectors. This analysis tries to find and repair physical errors on the disk itself, and it may take much longer to complete.

    To check for errors file and the physical errors, select both automatically fix errors in file system and search for and attempt recovery of bad sectors.

    4. click on start.

    Kind regards.

  • Some iPhoto albums appear empty with no sticker and say '0' when I fly over the album, but the photos are there when I double click.

    To start, I read in countless discussions here on iPhoto glitches and patches, so I hope I'm not repeating this question, but I couldn't find the answer anywhere I had a question after question with iPhoto (mainly around several accidents after organizing photos into albums that made the album organization and this issue I describe below) and is considering moving to Adobe Bridge just to have a reliable place to store my photos without worrying about the constant pain. I realize that no program is immune to glitches, but the volume and the frequency that I've had with iPhoto is unmatched (which led me to wonder if it is just a user error, but I honestly can't understand for the life of me). So I describe my current number below, in the hope of resolving the issue so that either A. I can fix and give iPhoto a chance more or B can I ensure that my photos are safe and intact before transfer to another program.

    Some of my iPhoto albums appear empty with no sticker and say '0' when I fly over the album, but the photos are there when I open the album. I have rebuilt the thumbnails, and it has not solved the problem. After the other issues that I had with iPhoto crashes, I made sure that all updates have been installed. Unfortunately, I don't remember if I've rebuilt or repaired the database, but it seems that all my photos are present, all mixed together and some showing in the albums 'empty '. Here's my question: is one problem, other than being boring? And should I switch to another program, or have I missed something?

    A few details:

    • I have rebuilt thumbnails today and it took 5.5 hours. It seems completing without problem, but has not solved the problem.

    • I have my computer fully backed up on an external drive to Seagate drive as Mac OS extended (journaled) as well as iPhoto backed up separately on the drive as well.

    • Looks like I have a "library" and "alias."

    • I use iPhoto to organize my photos. I use Photoshop to edit. I love the feel of iPhoto, but I lost hours and hours trying to organize and solve problems.

    • I use iPhoto 11 version 9.4.3 OSX 10.8.5 / / MacBook Pro processor 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7 Memory 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

    More worrying is the issue of the repeated questions. How you use iPhoto and Photoshop together?

    Tabula Rasa:

    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its function of reconstruction. (In early versions of the Library Manager, this is the file-> control Rebuild. In versions later it is under the menu library.)

    This will create a completely new library. It will then copy (or try) your photos and all associated metadata and versions to this library and as close as possible to what you had in the damaged library fix it. It does this based on the information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but it means that things not shared won't be there, so no slide shows, books or calendars, for example - but it should recover all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places.

    Because this process creates a completely new library and does not change your old, it is non-destructive, and if you are not satisfied with the result, you can simply go back to your old.

  • Skype prevents the removal of empty folders!

    1. I use Skype only for Conference calls and interaction of students in university level and regular group tasks. In other words, I refuse any connection to anyone do not actively participate in a class with me at one time or another for the next two years.

      Now, I noticed a "remarkable" feature in Skype for these last two days (48 hours).

      I had to remove the empty of my desktop system folders and not until I completely closed and you leave Skype (ver. 7.22.85.109 on Windows 7 x 64) made this stop "have action."

      In other words, when Skype does NOT work my OS works as expected.

      It should be noted here is;

      1: I've not linked, shared or any files included in a file sharing activity to any else via Skype or a Skype session.

      2: the files are empty! Deleting the file, simply not work records.

      3: the content of the folders is not associated with uni and so has no objective sharing ever existed with or by the use of Skype.

      4: no application used to interact with the content of the folders have interacted with Skype never directly or indirectly.

      So now, the question remains:
      "Why is Skype lock up my empty folders, preventing them to be deleted"?

      The path to these files are NOT in systems or paths of Skype but on other players or on my desk!

    There is nothing interesting in the information "filtered". The only one I can see, is that you have VirtualBox running application, so you can stop it and see if that changes anything.

    In addition, the version of ( Internet Explorer (IE11) installed on your computer is not refreshed (judging by the mashtml.dll error messages shown in the log). Know that no matter what browser you use, Skype is still using IE engine installed on your computer.

  • Is there a risk to delete all empty folders

    I'm a "degunking" from my computer.  I have removed several unwanted files and delete empty folders.  I would like to make a mass delition of empty folders and I wonder if there is a danger in this procedure.  The program I have to delete these folders tells me that it is y 989 on my system.

    I think you're about you for nothing.  These empty folders can be temporary custodians for a variety of applications that may not be able to recreate them when necessary.

    Is there a SECURITY program or process to find and remove all empty folders on my XP SP3 system?

    I suggest that you don't do that. Just because a file is empty does not mean that it is not part of an application installed or even Windows. If the folder is empty, it uses almost no space. Let him.

  • Problem of empty folders

    After many synchronizations and removes it from the music, I noticed that the clip keeps empty folders that contain music that I deleted. Of course, this might not be a problem but, after a while, it really bothers me if half of your content repository empty folders without files into it. It really prevents navigation.
