Can you see a image in the Get Info Window?

After upgrading to Mt LIon and while using CS6, I can't see image previews in the Get Info window. Can't see images in the upper left corner of the get info window, so I can't make a selection and then do a copy- paste like I could do before I upgraded to Mt Lion with CS6. I want to be able to paste a image of the subjects in my folders.. IE folder of Panda Bears would have a image of a Panda showing on that folder. Folder of The Great Wall would have a image of the Great Wall on the Folder of Great Wall pictures. This has always worked for the past many years I have used a Mac and Photoshop. I started with Photoshop 2. All my photo folders are represented by images so I have a good idea of what is contained in each folder. Now after 2 weeks in China, 20 folders are represented by 10-11-12, 10-12-12, 10-13-12, 10-14-12 and so on. Shows me nothing but dates. I have tried saving as Jpeg, Tiff, and PAD, and still can't do a copy-paste in the Get Info window. Apple says it is a Adobe problem, Yesterday Adobe told me it is because I am uusing a Nikon D800 and Adobe does not have a patcdh for the NEW Nikon camera. I then tried using my Nikon D2Xs, Nikon D3X, Nikon 800 and even my wife's D50 and none of these camera allow me to copy paste the thumbnail image to the clipoboard like I have been able to do for YEARS... I can see images in a folder in Bridge, but the images dont show in my desktop folders.IE, a folder on my desktop with 200 pictures only show with words/ numbers/letters NO IMAGES appear in the folders on the desktop. On some folders the folders in a folder don't show up as Folders either.
Can Any one help me. Same thing happens on my MACPRO w 16 GB Ram and on my 17" MacBook Pro.

I can't blame you for saying that.
Adobe is the clear owner of the responsibility to make functional their product that they claim is compatible with your operating system. Adobe is the one who sold you the product.
I just went looking for what Adobe has said about Mountain Lion compatibility, and they both list Mountain Lion as compatible and include such language as that on this page (emphasis mine):
Adobe and Apple have worked closely together to test Adobe® Creative Suite® 5, 5.5 and CS6 editions and individual products for reliability, performance and user experience when installed on Intel® based systems running Mac OS X Mountain Lion (v10.8). Earlier versions of Adobe Photoshop® (CS3 and CS4) software were also tested with Mountain Lion and there are currently no known issues.
I suggest that Adobe needs to get on the ball and get this fixed. The time for user patience is over.
If someone from Adobe is saying "Adobe can't fix it" then that someone is at the wrong authority level and/or is thinking on the wrong level.
This is business and the business is making products that have value and are sold to people who perceive that value. Adobe doesn't get to keep selling products that don't work while standing on principles that "it's someone else's problem". Customers don't care why it doesn't work.
It's obvious to a child that if Photoshop CS5 can write the proper things to the Apple OS so that the thumbnails are visible, that there's something Adobe could do to fix it.
But EVEN IF this were something only Apple could fix, that Apple hasn't fixed it yet says pretty loudly that Adobe isn't making the right overtures to Apple for their mutual benefit. Adobe, are your executives so greedy that they can't grease a few palms of their friends over at Apple to put some priority on this? What's the problem here? Has Adobe actually forgotten how to do business?

P.S., You should know that I don't use a Mac and am personally having no issues with seeing proper thumbnails and previews on my Windows 7 and 8 systems, since the software that does that isn't from Adobe.

What is the work around for not being able to see icons for folders. I want to be able to copy and paste image icons in the GET INFO windows.

I have always used images for my folder icons, and now I am told that Mt. Lion does not allow me to go to the GET INFO window and do a click on the image icon and then be able to paste that image on to other folders. I just talked with a Apple support guy and he said that Mt. Lion does not support this function. He did say that there are third party programs that allow using images to make icons for folders or other items. I can see some image icon in some of my hard drive folders....... some folders show image icons while others do not. I am a photographer and have scads of photo folders spread all over different hard drives, and I find it easier to find what I am looking for by just looking at the IMAGE PICTURE in the different folders on my hard drives, than by having to read the one or two words associated with each folder.
THe support guy said to request that APPLE put back the ability to use the coy paste function in the GET INFO window. If i can't get this working like it was I wouyld like to know how to get a refund and throw out Mt Lion.

Restore your Lion bootable backup/clone or Time Machine backup and file your ML bug report. Just keep the installer ($20 USD isn't worth the hassle trying to get it refunded). Then, when the function's restored, reinstall and run Software Update.

In Windows 8, how can I see an image of the psd file instead of the Photoshop icon?

There are a number of third party solutions for this. I just use Bridge, so can't recommend one in particular.

Can I change the position of the Get Info window?

Can I change the position of the Get Info window?

If you want to open the "Get Info" panel in the center of your screen, define the following Automator service and install it in the "Services" Folder of your User Library. This service will be available when you ctrl-click a file or folder in the pop-up menu and it will open the "Get Info" in the center of the screen.
Open Automator and select New -> Service.
Select: Service receives "files or Folders" in "Finder.app"
Drag a "Run Apple script" action from the Actions pane -> Utilities onto the Workflow
Paste the following script into the action, after (* Your script goes here *) and before "return input"
          tell application "Finder"
activate
                    set {d1, d2, d3, d4} to (get bounds of window of desktop)
open information window of item input
                    set {i1, i2, i3, i4} to (get bounds of information window 1)
                    set position of information window 1 to {d1 + (d3 - i3 + i1) / 2, d2 + (d4 - i4 + i2) / 2}
          end tell
Save the service and name it e.g. "centeredGetInfo". It will be installed in your library -> Services.
Now you can ctrl-click any File or Folder, and in the Services Section of the pop-up menu you will see your new service "centeredGetInfo", also in File ->Services in the Finder, when you select a Finder item.
You can bind this service to a keyboard shortcut in the keyboard preferences and use it like the standard "Get Info"

Can't write to Desktop ƒ; contradictory permissions info in the Get Info window

I don't have write permission for my Desktop folder.
In the folder's Get Info window, under Sharing & Permissions, it reports a contradiction: it says "You can only read," and at the same time under Privilege it says I have "Read & Write" access. If try I use the popup menu to change "Read & Write" to something else, it goes right back to "Read & Write" upon releasing the menu. At any rate, "You can only read" is the correct part of the contradictory info.
My account is an Admin account. I am typing the correct password to unlock the fields in the Get Info window. I've tried repairing permissions in Disk Utility, and that didn't help.
A user named bennarsson reported the exact same problem in this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3039851?start=0&tstart=0
baltwo responded that "If you've selected your Desktop folder, then something is extremely wrong if it says You can only read, while showing you under name with read and write privileges." No kidding! Other than that, bennarsson didn't get any solution to the problem.
Any ideas? It's pretty frustrating not being able to modify anything in my Desktop folder!

Try this. Launch the Terminal app in /Utilities, copy & paste this this command into TextEdit, substitute your actual username for the placeholder, copy and paste it into the window that pops up, and hit the return key. So if your username was mike, it would be sudo chown -R mike:admin ~/Desktop
sudo chown -R username:admin ~/Desktop
When the Password: prompt pops up, carefully type in your admin password, since nothing shows up on the screen, and hit the return key. That should do it.

All my hard drives (internal and external) have a small lock in the lower left corner of the icon and I don't have permissions to access. Permissions are set to 'Custom' in the get info window and I can't change them.

All my hard drives (internal and external) have a small lock in the lower left corner of the icon and I don't have permissions to access. I have 3 user accounts set up and I cannot access any of them. Permissions are set to 'Custom' in the get info window and I can't change them. Originally I had Snow Leopard installed on one hard drive and 10.5.8 installed on another. I started to have some problems accessing data between them and so I tried changing the permissions on ONE hard drive partition. The next thing I know, all my drives are locked (except the ones with the systems on them), the small lock appeared in the lower left corner of the drive icons and I don't have permissions to access any of them. In the get info window, permissions are set to 'Custom' and I can't change them.

There is suddenly a lock icon on my external backup drive!

The latest version of Pages does not allow a Pages document to become a 'stationery pad'! Is there a way to do this this other than through the 'Get Info' window?

The latest version of Mavericks does not allow a Pages document to become a 'stationery pad'! Is there a way to do this this other than through the 'Get Info' window? As Pages templates cannot be ordered in folders, my many templates are effectively unusable now and I need to find another way to order and access them.

Are you aware of that you can still use Pages 09 on Mavericks? You don't have to go thru the grieves of using the crippled Pages 5. Pages 09 should bi in Applications/iWork 09 folder.

It is no longer possible to use ALT + N and ALT + P from the "get info" window.

On a PC, previously, when in the "get info" windows, it was possible to use ALT + N and ALT + P to switch to the song information for the next and previous song. Since the update to the newest iTunes, it's no longer possible. Has anybody found a keyboard shortcut that works? The "keyboard shortcut" thing in iTunes says you can still use ALT + N, but it doesn't seem to be working for me. Is it working for anybody else?

You're welcome.

How to display the Get info window for a file or folder

Hello,
How can I display the Get Info window for a file or folder using Applescript - instead of selecting it in the finder and using Command-I ?
Thanks.
lenpartico

The item property that the Get Info was opened for is read only, so it doesn't look like you can just throw a file path at it. You could do something like telling the Finder to reveal the item, then keystroke the command, e.g.:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFEE80;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
tell application "Finder"
reveal "Path:to:your:file"
activate
end tell
tell application "System Events" to keystroke "i" using {command down}
</pre>
... but this doesn't seem to be much different than the regular method. There are other methods to get various information, what are you wanting to do?
Edit:
Hmmm, I could have sworn (I do a lot of that these days) I tried Hiroto's method, but that does work. It still seems to be a roundabout way of doing something though.

HT5338 In the referenced article, can ownership be changed through the Get info. window?

I'd like to know for ease of remembering if step 13 in the article could be accomplished though the user folder's Get Info. properyt window in the Finder?
(hey! if I could keep the arcane UNIX commands in my head storage, I wouldn't be loving me' Mac so much!!! Also, who wants to make a mistake through a typo dealing with the cryptic, unfriendly commands in the terminal window?! I stay away from it unless I absolutely have to.)
The options seem to be there in the Finder Get info window. But does the UNIX command accomplish something behind the scenes, subtle, that the Finder operation doesn't?

MrHoffman,
Thanks but I don't normally dabble with either this command or gen. any other terminal commands with "any regularity" Ofcourse now that I am inadvertantly wandering into the "Administration" territory with the server, that might change slightly!
Considering your backgroud (yes! you are famous around here ) I can see why you would say "it's just as feasible and just as possible to mess things up with the GUI tools here — the GUI is often a multi-step process, and it's possible to get the settings wrong in various ways — as with the Unix commands." While I do see the advantage of using UNIX commands in certain situations (when for example there's no equivalent command in the GUI etc) treating them both the same in terms of the operator's likelyhood of introducing an error while performing a given command (esp. in this case) is stretching it a bit don't you think?! Is it possibe that the space / context where you come from, your comfort level with the terminal / UNIX commands and because you have spent so much time with the UNIX commandline is perhaps the cause of this subjective opinion? This ofcourse doesn't mean I haven't see people "mess things up" royally through the GUI but I think it has more to do with the operator in that case (pushing a button for example without fully comprehending the context and meaning of the action, being in a hurry etc). But I think a larger percentage of people are more likely to err while typing (esp.) a complex command than using a GUI. I thought THAT is one of the reasons why GUI-based computer interface such as that on the Mac is more ubiquitous in these modern times than the UNIX / text-based interface
In any case, thanks for the help! Much appreciated.

I can no longer delete lines on the get info screen

I'm trying to delete the artist on the get info screen. Until a few days ago, I was able to do so. Now, when I delete the artist, the get info screen appears as if the line has been deleted. However, when I click "OK" then close the screen, it hasn't been deleted. When I reopen the screen, that info is still there. I'm not doing anything differently that I did before. Is this a software issue in the latest version of iTunes?

Try going to settings> general> usage> storage> manage storage> look for the app and delete it from there.

How do I make my iPhoto Library's version number appear in the Get Info window?

I recently (within the past 2 weeks) purchased a new 27 inch iMac and have been importing data (applications and files) from my 2010 Macbook Pro via AirDrop. One of the first files I migrated over was my iPhoto Library. I doing so, I noticed a few differences between its file attributes and those of the iPhoto Library file created by default on my new computer - two of which I'll note here. First, I noticed that the file resident on my new OS was labeled iPhoto Library.photolibrary while my older version did not have the ".photolibrary" extension. That seemed simple enough to correct so I added that extension to my old library file. The second difference I'd note - and the source of my question - is that the default iPhoto Library file displayed a version number (9.5.1) in its "Get Info" window, while mine did not. I checked my file's info.plist file and the correct information seems to be listed. It reads (in part):
<dict>
               <key>CFBundleGetInfoString</key>
               <string>iPhoto Libary 9.5.1</string>
               <key>CFBundleShortVersionString</key>
               <string>9.5.1</string>
</dict>
</plist>
I'm not sure this is really a question for the iPhoto community, as it seems like a more general issue; but, this is my first post to these forums, and I didn't know where to start. Thanks in advance for the advise/suggestions.

In terms of the info.plist file, I only reviewed it to see why I wasn't seeing the version number in the GetInfo window.
The string "<key>CFBundleGetInfoString</key>
               <string>iPhoto Libary 9.5.1</string>"
is exactly what will be shown in the Get Info panel. I tested that by simply editing this string in a test library using XCode. I could "Get Info" to show ridiculous versions numbers this way.
However, none of my older iPhoto libraries will show the version string in Get Info, only libraries I created with iPhoto 9.5.1. or Aperture 3.3 or later.
There is probably one of the other database files in the folder "database" - *.appdb and *.db interfering. None of the Library First Aid options did make the version number show for my older iPhoto libraries - not even rebuilding the iPhoto library. The only way I could make the version number show in "Get Info" was by exporting the library as a new library using Aperture. But this exported library is now showing as Aperture library.

Can you add an image to the favourites icons in safari ios7?

A lot of my icons have no image. Can I add one myself? If not can you remove the icons without removing them as favourites

You can simply add it to the feed and re-upload. (You don't need to re-submit when adding episodes or making alterations.) If you are handwriting your feed (unlikely) it goes in the 'itunes:image' tag in the top section of the feed; if you are using a program or online service to create your podcast there will be somewhere you can add the image. It should ideally be 1400 x 1400 px.
Once uploaded, it will take some days before it appears in the iTunes Store.

Hi skube70, and a warm welcome to the forums!
AS far as I know... NO, but likely they saw nohing other than what is in your Shared folder even so, they need a Username & Password to see more.
