Fetching freezes get Info bar and won't close

Hi, when I click "Get Info" on any file that I search for on my Computer, "Fetching" appears under "more info but won't disappear". I then won't be able to close the Get Info Bar. The only way to close the info bar is to click on any open window and then the info for that files appears and "Fetching" Disappears. "Fetching" does not hang when I click "Get Info" on any file on my computer that's in a folder, desktop, or located anywhere else on my computer. This only occurs with files that I search for in Finder. Please help.

Hello there,
I am also having the same issue. I have reset my timecapsule, rebooted, restarted...
I can view the file structure, but as soon as I go to click on any file (not folder) it goes to fetching info, and doesnt stop.
most of the time locking up my finder and me needing to fully unplug the time capsule and reboot. Really worrying since its got some data on it that isnt backed up. And it is also my backup for my 2 computers.
Do I need to fully reformat?

    Hi TheGuru146,
    It sounds like the iPod isn't restoring correctly. Try putting the it into Disk Mode manually and then restoring the iPod again as described in the article linked below.

    iPod nano (7th generation)
    Before placing the iPod into Disk Mode, verify that it has a charge.
    Reset the device by pressing the Sleep and Home buttons simultaneously until the display shows the Apple logo. This should take about eight seconds.
    When the Apple logo appears, press and hold the Volume Down and Volume Up buttons simultaneously until the device enters Disk Mode.

  • When i try to restore my iPad it gets stuck a quarter along the progress bar and won't restore.

    Ok so i downloaded the 4.3.3 update and tried updating but it got stuck about a quarter of the way along the progress bar and won't move. I unplugged it and plugged it in again then tried a restore, it did the same thing, i've done it about 5 times now and it still gets stuck in the same spot each time. I put it into DFU mode and tried a restore but it still won't. Help?

  • Ever since my iphoto library crashed (ran out of space without warning) my mcbook pro has been slow, unresponsive, freezes in sleep mode and won't restart... please help.

    Hi everyone
    Ever since my iphoto library crashed (ran out of space without warning) my mcbook pro has been slow, unresponsive, freezes in sleep mode and won't restart...
    I've since backed everything up on an external hard drive, removed the corrupt library, even reinstalled the operating software and there is now hardly anything on the hard drive, it still runs painfully slow. If I close the lid which puts it in sleep mode, it either doesn't go into sleep mode but instead the battery just gets drained and I find it completely empty of power (it won't start again unless plugged in), or it goes into sleep mode but just freezes when I try to reopen.
    In iphoto (reinstalled) but even other applications it is painfully slow, not like a mac at all!
    I am trying to go to genius bar with it but thinking maybe someone in this forum can help...
    Many thanks
    Andre

  • Reminders Notifications in Mountain Lion latest update keeps freezing on my homescreen and won't go away when trying to close. Please help.

    Reminders Notifications in Mountain Lion latest update keeps freezing on my homescreen and won't go away when trying to close. Please help.
    I'm using a 2009 Macbook Pro and have installed the lastest update 10.8.1

    I've been seeing this for some time now and getting quite sick of it. It happens when I've been away at work for the day and come home to find frozen notifications.
    You can fix this temporarily by quitting Notification Centre from Activity Monitor but it keeps happening to me every week or so.

  • 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!

    Just back it up to your computer using iTunes By connecting it to your compute, launching iTunes, then going to File>Devices>Back Up (transfer purchases of prompted).  Then restore the iTunes backup to your new phone.

  • Have done the iOS 5 update and lost some of my apps now can't get them back and won't let me register my wife's card on my account

    Have done the iOS 5 update and lost half of my apps won't let me get them back and won't let me register my wife's card on my account as I don't use credit or debit cards
    <Edited by Host>

    Relax, nobody's ripping you off...
    Apps are tied to the Apple ID you purchased them on and not the device so getting them all back is easy so long as you know the account details. To reinstall the apps just use the App Store and use the original Apple ID (account) that was used to purchase them, then re-install.  If you setup a new Apple ID on your device when you initialized iOS 5 then go into the App Store app and change the account back to the one that was there before. Then go to update > Not on this iPhone and start installing...

  • Hi I got iPhone 4 been getting apps today went to get an app and won't let me even free ones have to sign in then sign in again for billing info it's all correct but still won't download apps had problem before fixed it but won't work again

    iPhone has previously downloaded apps but go to do today and won't keeps asking for billing info which is in there and correct but then says plz update you payment there is a billing problem with your previous purchase it's done before to me so reset and erased everything and worked did that Again and still doesn't work  info is all correct have to re enter Ccv number still doesn't work driving me nuts I want my apps

    If you had money in your account when you purchased a paid app and Apple didn't claim on the payment to your bank until after the download it maybe that there was insufficient balancce in your account to complete the purchase and therefore you'll need to wait until you have the funds to make the payment, when you have billing issues it won't even let you download free apps.
    If that isn't the case then give iTunes store a call or email them and they can tell you exactly what is wrong with the account

  • Only get white screen and won't shut off

    Only get a white screen and won't shut off until battery goes dead

    If not successful try the remaining itemes of:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.

  • Get Info - file and extension greyed out

    .dmg image which contains several folders and files. If I do a "Get Info" against any of the contents - they are all greyed out and not editable.
    Also I can't add any more file to the .dmg
    I know it's something simple or I've missed
    TIA

    Herman1's answer (second reply to post) did the trick for me even though he is mentioning 10.4.x and I'm using 10.6.x. It still worked like a charm
