File info doesn't work?

As a digital art teacher I need to check the files my students submit for authenticity. I noticed that since the last 2 CS Suite upgrades the "File info" functionality is no longer available (File>File Info). When I open a student file and I select this option, a blank window appears. I cannot click out of it so I have to do a "Force Quit" and restart the application. I work with Photoshop and Illustrator. Can someone help me with this please? I need to be able to see who created the file and when the file was created. How do I restore functionality? Is there a plug-in I need now? I work on a Mac in CS Suites 5.1
Much appreciated

I would post this in the relevant forum for the CS programs. Photoshop is here;

File.delete() and File.deleteOnExit() doesn't work consistently..

I am seeing some odd behavior with trying to delete files that were opened. Usually just doing new File("file.txt").delete() would work. However, in this case, I have created an input stream to the file, read it in, saved it to another location (copied it), and now I am trying to delete it.
The odd thing is, in my simple application, the user can work with one file at a time, but I move "processed" files to a lower pane in a swing app. When they exit it, it then archives all the files in that lower pane. Usually every file but the last one opened deletes. However, I have seen odd behavior where by some files don't delete, sometimes all of them wont delete. I tried the deleteOnExit() call which to me should be done by the JVM after it has released all objects such that they don't matter and the JVM ignores any object refs and directly makes a call (through JNI perhaps) to the underlying OS to delete the file. This doesn't work either.
I am at a loss as to why sometimes some files delete, and other times they don't. In my processing code, I always close the input stream and set its variable to null. So I am not sure how it is possible a reference could still be held to the object representing the file on disk.

Locate file window doesn't work

Ok, this problem occures only on our Z800 workstations.
Everything works as expected on my laptop.
When I try to relink a media file, the relink media window opens, and then I click the Locate button.
The new window ALWAYS opens in the top most level (basically My Computer in windows) and not in the last used directory.
I think it has something to do with the second problem - the path text box doesn't work. Whatever I enter there and click Return - nothing happens. It doesn't navigate to the folder specified in the path field. The only way to navigate is to go throught the folder tree on the left.
For every file I have to do it always from the top most level - that is a lot of clicking.
Also if I uncheck Use Media Browser to locate files, the default windows dialog properly navigates to the last known location of the file.
I know it's an error - since on my laptop everything works fine. The window opens in the last know location of the media file and I can easily navigate using the path field.
Any suggestions what could be the reason for this?

Jim Simon wrote:
I'm not sure if this is a bug. The Locate File dialog seems to be opening where it thinks the file might be, rather than where it was. For example, I renamed the 0000.mts file for a particular project, and when I opened Premiere Pro, Locate File went to the 0000.mts file from another project/folder, thinking that might be it.
So...if you have no other files that might be the missing file, the dialog starts at the top.
Jim,
I understand what you are saying in regard to where it thinks it might be. However if I manually type a path where a file I want to link to rathter then clicking 20 times in the folder tree, it throws a "File not accessible" error. Yet if I use the folder tree to navigate to the same file it sees it and links to it fine.
It just seems that whenever I try to manually type a path in the path address field is when the error occurs.
Are you able to manually type in a path > hit enter/return and have it link to the file?

When my Imac first boots up, file sharing doesn't work

27" iMac; about 7 months old
OS X 10.8.4
2.7 Ghz Intel Core i5
When I first boot it up, file sharing with the PCs doesn't work. I have to turn file sharing off then back on, sometimes I have to do it several times, before the PCs will finally connect using their mapped drives.

Move the com.apple.systempreferences.plist out of the stupidly hidden /Library/Preferences/ folder onto the Desktop, restart, and see if the problem persists. If not, reset your system preferences and delete the moved file. Then, update to 10.8.5.

Changing song's info doesn't work

When I go to file info and change the file name, etc. it works at first, but when I play the song, it reverts all the info into the original names.
Can anybody's help me please? It's so annoying!
I already tried converting the ID3 Tags or consolidating the library, but nothing works! every time I click on the files they go back to their original names/info
Help!
(iTunes 7)

I think the ID3 tags are just the revision to the MP3 data. In other words, the metadata in an MP3 file conforms to certain specifications and over the years they must periodically update it to include new fields or ways to represent new information. So perhaps newer tags are not all that backwards compatible or something?
I don't know why it works. I just know it does. I assume that "none" must be basic/generic tags only and not including them thar new fangled fields or some such, so I assume "none" probably means a universal set of info that any program can access.

File sharing doesn't work between two computers

I have a Macbook Air bought late 2009 (I'll call it MBA 1). OS 10.6.0.
I have a new Macbook Air bought a few days ago (I'll call it MBA 2). OS 10.6.4.
I have been attempting to share files from the two computers.
I was able to move files from MBA 1 to MBA 2 without too much fuss. I could do it both ways: by finding "Shared" in Finder and then accessing the files or I could go to "Go" and "Connect to Server". I was able to add the username of the MBA 2 to the list of users in the Sharing pane of the MBA 1.
So going from MBA 1 ---> MBA 2 is fine.
However going from MBA 2 ----> MBA 1 doesn't work.
1) The finder in the MBA 1 doesn't show "Shared".
2) I can't add user to the Sharing pane of the MBA 2.
The problem could be that the two usernames of the MBA 1 and the MBA 2 are very similar.
Username of MBA 1: jk
Username of MBA 2: J K
I tested this theory out by adding a username I just made up called "Jack" and it added the username fine to the list of users.
But it's too late to change the username of the computers now.
What can I do?

I got it to work.
What I did was on MBA 2, I went to "Go" and "Connect to server". Then I selected the MBA 1 to connect to.
As soon as I did that, "Shared" appeared in Finder with the MBA 2's name on it.
After connecting which took a long time, the folders to be shared showed up in the Finder window.
I don't know why trying to connect to MBA 2's server didn't work in MBA 1. I went to "Go" and "Connect to server" many times on the MBA 1 but it didn't work.

HT1391 "File Get Info" doesn't work for all items in iTunes.

I have some iTunesU videos where the Get Info is grayed out (not available).How do I find out where these files are located on my system? (Mac OS X).
Thanks,
Chris.

Try to update iTunes.
Or - Remove iTunes from your system, download from https://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
And install.
In simple words (reinstall iTunes)
i guess you have updated Yosemite not clean install.
Anyway, for me updates not worked 100% stable. i always do clean install and this is the best way to go, only problem is that there are no official way from apple to make a bootable drive - all the time this is big problem...

Unlockable file and 'Get Info' doesn't work

Hello
I have a file from an existing external hard drive that I brought over to my new Mac Mini. I can not delete or unlock this file. When I do a Command I (get info) the finder/desktop just flashes and no menu comes up. Therefore I can't uncheck the 'locked' box. I can't move it to the trash either.
The file is a Shockwave Plugin from OS 9 (ShockwavePlugin.class). I'm on a Mac Mini core duo, running 10.4.7
I've searched everywhere on here and can't seem to find a solution. I even tried using TextEdit and saving a new file with the same name as the locked file (to replace it) and TextEdit won't allow me as it says the file needs to end in ".rtf"
Stephan

Hi Niel
First off, thank you for such a quick reply.
I just tried doing what you suggested, hit run, and then in the bottom of the menue (below in the window where I pasted what you said to run) it says 'false'
I then tried to move the file to the trash and it won;t allow me. The eror message I get says "the operation cannot be completed because the item "ShockwavePlugin.class" is locked.
Does this tell you anything more?

Changing file associations doesn't work after CS4 install

I am running into an issue on any machine I install CS4 on in which I would like (for the time being) to keep CS2 or CS3 on whereby the Open with in get info always defaults to the particular CS4 app, no matter if I set it to CS2/CS3 and hit change all. You can do an individual file and set the .indd file to open in ID CS2, but if you try to force a change all to default any .indd file to open with ID CS2, it reverts automatically back to ID CS4.
I have tried this on various workstations with differing OS's, Tiger, Leopard, and all yield the same result. It is like no matter what you do all the CS4 apps have precedence for whatever reason and cannot be universally overridden. Any ideas or others that have run into this?
I have use Onyx to clean up the Launchservice databases and to clean up associations, have thrown out some plists, etc. and nothing is working.
Any help would be appreciated.
Brian

Thanks, Bob. I will take a look at, but it might not be exactly what I was hoping for as I was hoping to avoid the user from having to drag files onto something just to open them up.
Any ideas why CS4 overrides the ability to globally set the Open with to CS2 or CS3 but you still can on just one document?
Odd behavior.

Custom File Name-Original File Number doesn't work. Why?

I want to export and rename some files with the "Custom File Name-Original File Number" option. Yet this doesn't seem to work, and I wondered what I might be doing wrong. The filename will only rename as the custom text.
The sample file name shown underneath has a dash after the custom text bit, but then the extension only eg Newname-.tif
I am now using LR 4.2 but I seem to remember doing this renaming OK with an earlier version (though I can't remember which). This suggest that either there is a problem with this specific version or that I have something set differently to the way I had it initially. I am hoping the latter is the case. Any suggestions as to how to fix this would be welcome!

I am sorry to report that i don't know how to create a screenshot. However, what I am getting, exact;ly is this:
From Library grid view: F2 or Library>Rename Photo
Then little screen appears with heading Rename Photo:
File Naming> set to Custom Name - Original File Number
Custom Text> NewFilenameHere
Example: NewFilenameHere-.tif
Clicking on OK changes the filename to just the custom text without the original file number. Original File name shows in metadata eg DSC01129-Edit.tif
The only way i seem to be able to get the original file number with the custom text is to include it manually as part of the custom text.

File sharing doesn't work

Hi(I'm new to mac)
I have two computers in my home, one is Windows based desktop computer and the other is macbook air. Both are connected to the same router. Desktop pc is connected via ethernet and macbook air via wifi. As my storage in macbook is just 128Gigs so I used to access my desktop PC's hard disk using network sharing. It all worked fine and was so smooth, I just had to connect to wifi and click on my PC(faran-pc) from the Network and there I go.
But since last two days it won't connect, all the settings are same, I didn't alter anything. When I click on connect As, it allows me to enter the username and password(I had already given them before when connected for the first time) of the Desktop PC user just like before, but when after entering perfectly correct username and password I click Connect that window just vibrates and nothing happens. I've checked from my pc, file sharing is allowed there, so no security issue. If I disable filesharing from my Desktop it won't ask even for the username and password. Everything is fine with the router too. I don't know why it wont connect.
What I've tried so far:
1) Tried to connect manually by entering my Desktop name/IP address(smd://faran-pc or smd://ipaddress), but it stucks at the same place.
2)I deleted my keychain data stored for this server, still no luck.
3)Tried to connect from my Desktop to my Laptop, it connects from there, but doesn't allow me to copy bigger file like of few gigs from my desktop to mac.
4)Tried changing the username and password of the desktop computer as well.
5)Tried to connect through guest too.
6)Deleted network/dns cache by using -flushcache in terminal.
I don't know what to do, can't find out any other possible solution. Attaching some of the screen shots.

Rebooted both computers, and router many times.
Turned all three of them off for 15 minutes and then turned on, no luck.

JCo Connection using file.properties doesn't work when deployed

Hello Experts,
I'm trying to connect to a SAP backend system using the JCo connection.
I've tyed with the standard connection, crating dinamically the connection and it works fine:
mConnection = JCO.createClient("001", // SAP client
"sap.user", // userid
"********", // password
"IT", // language
"ashost.domain.dom", // application server host name
"06"); // system number
mConnection.connect();
Then I tryed to store the login data in a file 'login.properties' put in the same package of my connection classes.
The code is:
String[] logonStr = new String[5];
Properties properties = new Properties();
try {
InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream("login.properties");
properties.load(is);
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
logonStr[0] = PropertyManager.getProperty(applicationProperties,"jco.client.client");
logonStr[1] = PropertyManager.getProperty(applicationProperties,"jco.client.user");
logonStr[2] = PropertyManager.getProperty(applicationProperties,"jco.client.passwd");
logonStr[3] = PropertyManager.getProperty(applicationProperties,"jco.client.ashost");
logonStr[4] = PropertyManager.getProperty(applicationProperties,"jco.client.sysnr");
mConnection = JCO.createClient(logonStr[0],      // SAP client
logonStr[1],    // userid
logonStr[2],    // password
"IT",           // language
logonStr[3],    // application server host name
logonStr[4]);   // system number
If I test locally this code it works fine and the login datas are extracted from the 'login.properties' file.
But when I deploy my PAR file in the Portal seems that the 'login.properties' file isn't found by my application...
Which could be the cause??
Could it be a permission problem??
Any Ideas?
Thanks in Advance,
Best Regards

Hi Shyam,
Thanks for your answer!
I could use the string "ashost.domain.dom" instead to extract it from the 'login.properties' but I need also the others login info as username and password.
My problem is that the 'login.properties' file is not found by my application when the PAR file is deployed in the portal...
I need to know if I need to move the 'login.properties' file in another package or something else...
Any ideas??
Have I to declare the .properties file in some configuration file (for example portalapp.xml or somthing similar..) ??
Best Regards...

Reduce File Size doesn't work!

When I click the (new) option 'Reduce File Size' in Keynote '09 the app prompts a estimated new size which is smaller than the current size. When I click on 'Reduce' the app doesn't do anything except for showing an error report which tells me something like: "..the file size was not reduced", for all of the files included. They are just regular .jpg/.png and .psd files. Did anyone else notice this bug..?

I'd say if it is a very large file with multiple large images, it might not be actually freezing, just taking its sweet time.
It's why I leave Activity Monitor running when I use iWork applications.
This way, I know ifd the app is dead or if it's heavily busy.
Either that or it has nothing to do. It trims and reduces the resolution of bitmap images to 72dpi. There will be a fair bit of work if you have transparency in the document.
It doesn't do a very good job IMHO and to reduce the file by 90% is a big ask.
The 'Reduce FileSize' feature isn't linked to the 'export to PDF' feature.
As explained, before applying "Reduce file size" it's good practice to "Reduce Image File Size".
This will drop the parts of the pictures which aren't displayed.
The asked task doesn't imply a reduction of the pictures by 90%.
As I already wrote several times, it's more efficient to crop images to the really used area *_before inserting them in a Pages document_*.
A Pages document is huge by nature because the Index.xml file describing its contents is highly verbose.
If the document was saved with the 'embed Preview.pdf' feature active, the size of this PDF is adding a lot of used space.
I'd print to pdf and reduce the quality in Acrobat Pro.
Most of us don't own Acrobat Pro.
I feel that it would be a bit silly to buy an application whose price is : 450$ as a complement for a 80$ set of applications.
Before doing that, I would
(a) crop pictures before inserting them
(b) try to enhance Pages behaviour for free installing enhanced PDF filters.

File.deleteOnExit() doesn't work

My application generates some temporary files (XML files and copied XSL files). The Apache FOP processor then generates other files (PDF) in a different directory. After processing, my application deletes those temporary files. Howevere, some of those files can't be deleted (File.delete() returned false). I guess, FOP still has some access to them ovene though, i clear my FOP ressources. In those cases, I do a myFile.deleteOnExit(). But this doesn't seem to work: those files never get deleted when i exit the application (and therefore the VM). I have to delete them by hand (and this works).

Well, I close the files, but i don't know if FOP still has open file handles.
I also tried to add a shutdown hook to delete the remaining files, but this doesn't help.
