![]() ![]() This problem should be distinguished from the viewing of hidden folders in the Finder. Regardless of the reason, the result is you cannot open the folder, and other programs may not be able to open it either. Otherwise accessible folders may appear grayed and be inaccessible (click image for larger view). ![]() This can also happen if you are using an unsupported storage setup, such as a software RAID array (especially those from third-parties), in which case you might see many (if not all) of your folders duplicated (see below). This damage may happen from an interruption in a file or folder copying process, such as might happen from a power failure, crash, hard-reset, forced-cancel, or sudden disk unmount. This display usually means the folder is not accessible at a low level, and this in turn is likely from either a fault in the filesystem entry for the file, or damage to your Mac’s hard drive formatting. ![]() When this happens, you will not be able to open the folder, and unlike other folders that may show a small entry triangle next to them in list view, these will not have options for viewing what is inside. All files and folders that you encounter when browsing the Finder in OS X should be displayed in regular font and icon color however, there may be times when this is not the case, and one or more folders may appear grayed out and otherwise faded. ![]()
