File size will not automatically refresh in a finder window
i'm not sure how long this has been going on, but i've noticed that when i save a file onto an external drive, the size listed will not update automatically and says "zero k". if i change the window view to thumbnails, or to columns, then back to file list, the size is then listed correctly.
does anyone have a fix for this so it will update automatically?
my permissions have all been verified ...

Dear Bob,
I am having the same problem but your solution does not swork for me. I have 6 VPCs on my "host" PC and 5 of them are working normally but one has gone into shut down mode but will not shut down. Due to memory restirctions, I can only run 2 VPCs at a time
so this one is cutting that to one. I found I can hibernate it by using CTRL-ALT-DEL on the host and doing "End task" on the dodgy VPC, but it still says "Running" in the Virtual Machines folder and it will not let me delete the .vsv file for the dodgy VPC.
If I then rty to open it again, the window opens but with "Shutting down" showing and none of the VM menus work: shut down and restart both say "Cannot shut down this virtual machine"; tools / integration features runs but says it cannot start integration;
Ctrl+Alt+Del does nothing at all. Ideally, I would like to restart the VM to get a few settings from it and then shut it down and delete it (it is a failed development) but right now I would settle for anything that gets rid of it altogether! Any suggestions?
Why doesn't MS provide a way of forcefully shutting down a VM?

I am having an odd problem that I cannot resolve. In LR5 I chose about 15 images to Export as jpeg's onto my hard drive. Within the Export Dialogue Box I chose Resize To Fit and set it at 2.5 megapixels. 14 of the images resized correctly. One image, however, resized at 7 megapixels. Even when I went to the extreme of trying to export it using the Export Dialogue Box in LR5 to the size of 400 megapixels at it longest edge with the image quality at 39 (at 72 dpi) the image was still 5.9 megapixels in size!! So I opened it in Photoshop and tried downsizing it then saving it using the Image Size Dialogue Box (which indicated that the size was 310.5K), but when I look at the file info in the Finder Window (I use a MacPro) it says the files size is 5.7MB but the dimensions are only 400x265!! What is going on? Thanks in advance for your help.

File size of Notes on iPod nano?
Hello,
my question is about the file size of notes to be handled by the iPod nano.
I have copied several ASCII text-files into the Notes folder of my iPod nano. Each has a size of approx. 20 kByte. Windows Explorer shows them in the iPod Notes folder with their original size.
However, when opening one of the text files on the iPod nano, text is only displayed until approx. 700 words (approx. 4000 characters), which corresponds to approx. 4 kByte. The larger rest of the file is not displayed, as if it was cut.
Is this an error?
Or is 4 kByte the max. size of text files which can be displayed as notes on the iPod nano?
I have updated the iPod nano firmware recently with release 1.1.
Thanks in advance for any help!There is an online utility for doing this - will save you tons of time AND adds links so you go from one section of the larger file to the next:

Until they inprove the file size that the iPods can read, this is your only real way to use your iPod as an ebook reader.

Since I uploaded the new OS X Mavericks the App Store, Messages, Notes, Calendar, Maps and Preview will not launch/open. In Finder cannot find my files. Most crucially cannot upgrade OS X Mavericks software. I had two apple ID's, the old one not used
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2. -
Macbook will not automatically join know networks
After installing Lion mac will not automatically join know wireless networks i have to select it at every power up or wake up
Have you guys tried delting the network from Preferred Networks and then tried joining again ? Make sure the signal strength of the network is between -35 and -70 to be in good range. You can get this info by pressing the Option key and clicking on the network.
What channel is the wireless network on ? If using 5 Ghz, pick channel 36/44/48 and try.
If nothing work's, backup the files in this folder /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration and then delete the contents of this folder.
To delete do this in Terminal app:
sudo rm /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/*.*
Now reboot the machine, join the network and try again. -
I have downloaded, extracted and installed Elements 12 but it will not open nor can I find the Adobe file in the file where I installed it to.. When I've tried to download and install again it says that the "Object Already Exists." It may exists, but it is not visible in the file or in my list of programs on the Startup Menu.
cactisken
You should not have to uninstall Premiere Elements 12/12.1 in order to install and run Premiere Elements 13 on the same computer unless your computer is overloaded and the computer resources are compromised. Just use one program at a time.
Can you still use 12/12.1 on this same computer that will not let you use 13?
What specific Window operating system are you using?
Let us go through the usual drill...
1. Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
2. Are you using a pen and tablet device instead of a mouse?
3. Did you install the program with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled?
4. Disable the SLCache Folder found in Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit
Local Disk C
Program Files (x86)
Common Files
Adobe
and in the Adobe Folder should be the SL Cache Folder that you delete or disable by renaming the Folder
from SLCache to SLCacheOLD.
5. Are you running the program as Administrator and is the latest version of QuickTime installed on the same
computer as Premiere Elements 13?
Let us start here and then decide what next.
Thank you.

the "complete" option in "save as" produces a folder w/ 36 kb files that will not open anything - can't I save the page as a single offline file?
This is not really an answer just my comments on your question.
I am sure I recollect efforts being made to get mhtml to work with FF.
Probably the important thing to remember about .mhtml is that if other browsers do support it they may need addons, and may not necessarily render the content correctly/consistently.
There are FF addons designed for archiving webpages, you could try them, but that then assumes the recipient has the same software.
You could simply save the page from FF to your XP pc; then offline open it with and save it using IE, before then emailing using FF, and attaching the .mht or mhtml file that you have now created on your PC.
As an alternative method, in some cases it could be worth considering taking a screen grab of the required page, then sending that to the recipient as a single email attatchment using either a bitmap or jpeg file format for instance.
Something such as an airline booking may be designed with a print option, possibly it could be worthwile looking at sending the print file itself as an email attachment. -

My Itunes says there is a corrupt file and will not open (IMac 2010). I couldn't fix it by reinstalling ITunes so I moved ITunes to trash. It will not delete from my trash as it is saying "Japanese.lproj" is in use. I have never opened or used "Japanese.lproj". I can't delete ITunes or open ITunes to close the Japanese.lproj, what do I do? Thank you for any help you can provide..It will not delete from my trash as it is saying "Japanese.lproj" is in use. I have never opened or used "Japanese.lproj".
Interesting. This sort of thing is more common on Windows systems. Taken at face value, one of the iTunes program files (one of the Japanese language resources) is damaged.
I'd try running your Disk Utility over your startup disk. Does it find/repair any damage? If so can you empty your trash and reinstall your iTunes successfully now? -

My iPhone 5 will not automatically connect to my home wifi
My wifes iPhone 5 will not automatically connect to our home wifi, she has to log in each time (she has ios 6.1.4). Mine, however will connect automatically with no issues (we have same phone and ios). Here is what I have done so far to fix the issue and none have worked:
* I have reboted (hold home button and sleep/wake button)
* I have reset the network connections
* I have turned "ask to join" on, connected to the network, turned wifi off and then back on, it did not connect to the wifi
* I have manually connected to the network through the manual option, turned wifi off and then back on, it did not connect to the wifi
* I have erased all content and data and resored the backup from iTunes
* I have restored iPhone from iTunes and restored the backup from iTunes
My phone does not list a "forget this network" as an option on the wifi connection when I pull it up, so this is not an option. So, what else is there to fix the issue?Hi there Huskerscott!
I have some information here that can help you troubleshoot this issue:
Unable to automatically connect to Wi-Fi
Avoid giving your Wi-Fi network a common name.
Some wireless routers are preconfigured with a common SSID (network name) such as "wireless" or "default."
If your desired Wi-Fi network has a common SSID, try changing the SSID to something unique2.
If your desired Wi-Fi network has a unique SSID, reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: This will reset all network settings including: previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords, recently used Bluetooth accessories, VPN and APN settings.
Which is taken from this article:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections

It also may be helpful to follow these settings, which are optimal for use with iOS and OS X devices:

Ever since I had updated my phone to ios 6, i noticed that it no longer saved photos to my camera roll. If I take a picture on Instagram, it will not automatically save it to my camera roll as it used to do, nor does it save any image, I just want it fixed.
To gdgmacguy your a f****** idiot for one I'm having the same problem as pennymar. And you tell me to quit whinning. You got more problems then the iOS 6 you did not answer my question nor the other 13 or whatever you replied to within a 30 min time frame. You must got nothing better to do then to harass people and to pretend you know something about apple products. Which you don't from what I've read the other advices you should have gave to other people. But you didn't you replied a question back to the people asking a question. So if your not gonna use these community forums the right way don't use them at all.

I am trying to clear files from my computer. I have a bunch of .m4v protected files that will not delete. They are lectures from college that I do not need anymore and would like to delete them to make room on my computer. I have looked at the help sites and they seem to give directions to change files that people are saving in the future and not regarding past files. I am unable to change anything about the file including the name, so I can not change these past files from .m4v to something else which is deletable such as .mp4 etc. Any help would be much appreciated!!!!
Well, most of what we can tell you is already stated in the message you are getting. A phone can only sync with one library at a time. You have apparently synced your phone with a different iTunes library in the past, or changes have been made to this library so the phone no longer recognizes it as the library with which it was synced. To know which you will have to provide the information.
If you bought them using the AppleID you use with this phone it may simply be easier to re-download them directly to the phone rather than sync them, though you will want to resolve that issue at some point.

I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?
Hi, I'm helping StringSinger2 with this problem.
The previously installed version is Pages 3.0.3 (the same as from iWork 08). This version (Pages 3.0.3/iWork 08) is incompatible with Pages 5.
That is why it would be helpful to install iWork 09, which is the version between the two. It will open the older 08 files, and its saved files are readable by the new Pages5.
SO...
When I try to install iWorks 09 from my retail DVD the error message is "the installer is damaged". (I know the dvd is good, I installed iWorks09 to my laptop today.) Is the "installer" part of the system files? And - If that is damaged is there a patch for that?
Many Thanks!
