Files not showing up on Desktop
I'm using Mac OSX 10.9.5 and just recently I've noticed that when I save a file to the desktop it doesn't show up. But if I rename a file the same name on the desktop then it shows up. Very annoying and is slowing down my production flow. I've googled the problem and found this issue way back to 2006 but curiously there's no solution to the problem. Does Apple have any suggestions to fixing this?
Mac Pro (Early 2008), OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)
