Finder: doesn't show EXIF info for remote files

When you select a jpg-file in finder and do a "get info" on it, you see Exif-info in the "More Info" section. That does not occur however for remote files (NFS or SMB). Does anyone know the cause of this behaviour and how I can change it?

Here's an update. The zip file in question contains the latest version of a suite of Java applets that I've been using for some time. The developer just sent me the previous version and the latest version, but the latter was compressed with a different compression tool; he didn't say which one. I moved the two zip files onto my iBook G3 running OS X 10.3.8 and they both unzipped correctly. However, under 10.4.4 only the one compressed with the different compression tool unzipped correctly. This suggests a bug in 10.4.x does it not?

Thanks Barney, I tried that but all that comes up in Spotlight are the log files that show the file paths! I don't know how Steam works. Are all the files held by Steam on their server perhaps?

Finder doesn't show image dimensions

Hi!
I have a problem with image dimensions in Finder. Finder doesn't show image dimension info in preview column and Get Info window. But when I open in Preview app I can see dimensions in Get Info window. How to solve this problem. If I want to sort images by dimension, I can't do that. Because Finder doesn't know image dimensions. You can see images below.

That's because the Finder is a file manager and works from file metadata. The data you're seeking is about the file contents. You need to use a Photo Manager or Browser.
There is someone who can sort images by dimensions and see dimensions in list view. Also if Finder will not show image dimensions, why give me "Dimensions" and "Resolution" option to select in list view.

Launch a Finder window. Press command+J, and set Show Item Info. Now the image dimensions will show below each image icon. If it is a movie, then the duration of the movie is shown.
I have done this. But doesn't show information.

Finder Doesn't Show External Firewire, But Pathfinder Does

Hey Folks,
Am hoping someone might be able to help me with this. I've been using Pathfinder for a while, but have wanted to switch back to the normal Finder of late. My only hitch is that, for some reason, the Finder doesn't show an external firewire drive I've got running, while Pathfinder does.
The drive is available -- when I go into terminal, the drive is listed. Again, it's just not showing up in the drive list in the Finder.
Any thoughts? I tried dumping my Finder prefs, but that didn't seem to work.
Cheers,
Anthony

Finder->Preferences->General->cycle HDs to show on Desktop. If not, launch Disk Utility->select the FWHD and unmount it. Turn its power off, disconnect the FW cable, and shutdown the machine for five or so minutes. Restart the machine, reinstall the FW cable, and power it up.

Finder doesn't show network computer "Shared" in sidebar

I update 10.5.3 (05.28.08) and the Finder doesn't show all network computers at "SHARED" in sidebar except Windows PCs. I rebooted and seems fixed it.
now I can see all connected computers as 10.5.2,
but when I try to open a file from apps [command+o] (whatever apps is, I tried many as I can to check), again only shows PCs.
so I cannot access directly a file in other Mac on the network.
I tried put ~/Lib*/Preferences/com.apple.sidebarlists.plist in the trash once, log out/in.
still only PCs and of course deleted all personal shortcut icons are gone. so I replace it from trash can.
log out/in. then again now only PCs..... rebooted .....
any idea to fix it?
thanks

After adding a couple of macs to my network, I had the same problem. Part of the issue was turning on file sharing as suggested, but I also had issues with the firewall settings on the MAC. I had my firewall set only allow essential services because I didn't want to leave it open to all connections. I changed the setting to set access for specific services and applications. I added nmdb, configd, mDNSResponder, krb5kdc. These live in /usr/sbin.
Since making those changes, this problem seems to have stabilized and things are working as they should.
Hope this helps.

Finder doesn't show any windows

Hi,
Recently I got a strange problem, sometime Finder doesn't show any window, I mean if I click on the Finder icon on the Dock no window is shown. Even if I kill Finder (via Terminal using "killall Finder"), also using ⌘+TAB or the App exposuré gesture there is no way to see the Finder window. The only fix is to restart the system!
And I also noticed (this is happen always) that when I copy/move a file the progress bar message box is not shown anymore, I see only the progress in the Finder panel over the file name!
Thank you.

Yes, menu bar was visible, honestly I didn't try to use ⌘+N, anyway I used ⌃+Click on the Finder icon (on the Dock) and even if I was able to see the list of Finder windows that were open I wasn't able to switch clickin on it. I've also tried to click on "New windows" (that I think should be the same as press ⌘+N) but no window was shown.
Thanks.

After updating to 6.0 iPhone doesn't show in iTunes for the wireless sync

I have the iPhone 4s, after updating to 6.0 it doesn't show in iTunes for the wireless sync. My iPad which is first gen. still shows up. If I plugin with usb it shows up but as soon as I unplug it disappears.
When I click on the sync wireless on the iPhone , it trys to sync but nothing.

it's okay, it is not silly. but yes it was on but i went ahead and turned it, (the phone) off rebooted and turned it back on and rebooted phone again to see if it helps it any.... but to no it did not change, it still doesn't show up. as well as when i look in on wifi and see choose network mine is not populated until after a couple seconds. so it has something to do with not being able to hold on to a wifi signal when going to sleep or putting phone to sleep via power button. i do not see the wifi signal meter until a couple seconds after i wake it up from sleep. and now neither my ipad or iphone show up in itunes. so there is issues i guess with something. i have tried everything an dam too frustrated to do anything more.

how do I find my outgoing mail server info for gmail account setup?

Most current Mac systems have a preloaded set of information and settings for the common email providers. Try just choosing gmail and enter your userid and password at the prompts and see if the preload configures correctly for you.

Many users have solved the problem by syncing several times; and if that doesn't work, perform a simple restore. Your titles will come back.

Music plays in iTunes, but Finder doesn't show them

Okay this is wierd and I don't know if it belongs to iTunes or to HFS+.
When I start iTunes, I can see my whole library of about 50'000 songs. In the finder, at the same time, I see maybe 30 or 40 artists, way less than I have songs. Now, say, for example, in iTunes, I see "a-ha" as artist. In the finder windows that shows the directory where my music is, I don't see a-ha. Now, if I do a Get Info on a song of a-ha, suddenly, a-ha appears in the Finder. With exactly this album and exactly this song. If I Get Info of another song, that one appears too. Funny enough, with the correct creation dates and everything, as if that song always there and from there after, it is there. But not before. I do a daily backup to another disk (just copying, no mirroring), funny enough, that other disk behaves exactly the same: it doesn't show my music anymore.
If I open a terminal console, its the same: I don't see anything anymore there, but the according to Disk Utility, the amount of items on that disk is about correct. Does anyone have a clue what's happening here? I already verified both disks, no errors. They are attached using USB and each is part of a single 3TB concantenated RAID.

Sounds to me like you might have disk directory problems. Try using disk utility to repair the disk (use repair instead of verify - just in case). If not, you might want to buy and try diskwarrior.
Have you tried rebooting? If not, try that first.
Also, try "right clicking" (or control-clicking) on a song, and select show in finder from the drop down menu - is the file where you think it should be?

Histogram fails to show exif info

I shoot in raw, I import into lightroom by doing a sync folder. Then I edit my picture using photoshop cs6. I save it as a jpeg. Finally I export this image as a jpeg to a sub folder called Publish, which means its ready for the web.
problem is when i look at image in lightroom on the right side the histogram has no details, it wont show iso, fstop or anything.
why is all this data gone? if I look at my original RAW file i can see the exif info in the histogram but on my final exported image its all gone.
why is this and can it be fixed?
furthmore it looses all its tags and meta data, I have to copy the metadata back to this file.
it would be nice if lightroom would reinsert the meta info and exif once its reimported into lightroom.

maybe i'm doinh something wrong in my workflow. This problem only came recently when I started using LR4
I import my pictures using Nikon transfer
than I use View NX to Rename, Tag and delete what i consider bad images.
now I geotag them using a program called Geosetter.
finally i go into lightroom 4 and tell it to sync folder 2012
it finds the images with no problems.
i go into my folder ie 2012-05-05
next I stack my images, since i shoot hdr i usually end up with 5 images that are part of a bracket set.
here is where my confusion and problems begin.
i have a metadata preset already made "meta info"
it has my name, and all other details i want each image to have.
but after i sync my folder this meta info does not apply.
is there a way after a sync to make it automatically do this.
problem is i tend to forget.
so i do this manually. I high light all images on the folder than on right side panel i slect from drop down my Meta info
it applies ok.
now i start my post work, i edit file (as original) in photoshop. do what I need and than save it as a jpeg, full rez and full size.
now i go back to lightroom where my picture i edited appears, as it does not from my photoshop editing.
but its missing exif info and meta data info also. in fact its been stripped of all data
at this point i dont know what to do
so i pick the original raw file right click and select "metadata presets" > copy
a box appears and it lets me select what fields to copy. I copy.
now i select the photoshop edited file and right click paste meata data info.
i double check and the info is good its all normal again.
here is my dilemma
if I upload this image to flickr or the web it looks different than what it looks on my computer
i dont know why and i'm guessing is because it has lightroom adjustments to it
so my workaround is to Export this picture.
I right click and choose export to hard drive, and export with full size and res as a jpeg.
now when i upload this exported JPEG it looks identical to one on my computer but serious problem
exif and meta info have been stripped
i dont get it??? i did not tell it to do this
so i try to copy meta info from the original file but it fails
it lets me do it but info simply wont stick
i open file in windows explorer to verify and its NOT read only.
so i'm at a loss

Finder doesn't show correct "last modified" dates

For the longest time, the Tiger Finder has not always shown the correct "last modified" dates for files. Is there any fix or workaround for this?
Frequently, if I'm working in a folder with a bunch of files in it, and working in each individual file, and viewing the folder in list view, the modified date for each file will not update as I work on the file. Even if I close and reopen the folder, it won't update. Sometimes when I click on an individual file, the date will update. Other times not. If I use "Get Info" to look at the file, then I see its true last modified date.
I believe this used to be a problem in prior OS's too, and someone recommended a little contextual menu plug-in called "Nudge" to me. I went looking for that, found it, and installed it, but it doesn't do what I want. Now if I "nudge" a file, the Finder instantly marks it as modified right that second. That's not what I want. I need to know the last time the file was TRULY last modified, and I need it to show up immediately.
I work with a large quantity of files and part of the management scheme is figuring out, at a glance, when each file was last modified, so I can keep track of their development.

Hi folks,
This issue has been driving me crazy, and I've been searching everywhere for a solution... today I am happy to report that I found one!
Limit Point Software has just released a great utility for dealing with this issue where folders have their "Date Modified" altered after you just opened the folder.
It is called "SyncFF" and you can download at:
http://www.limit-point.com/Utilities.html
Here is the product description:
SyncFF is a drop utility for setting the modification and creation date of folders to the latest modification date of their contained files. This way the modification date of the folder matches the modification date of the "oldest" file it contains. The process is recursive, which implies all subfolders are processed too. Universal Binary, Mac OS X 10.4 and above.
It works wonderfully, and it is so nice to have the proper modification dates on my folders and projects again.
I should also say that the developer is very helpful and responsive to feedback.
Zed
