Finder-pressing spacebar allows viewing images file, sometimes

I've been having a problem with Finder. When I press the spacebar on an image file, say a jpg, it allows me to see that photo. When I move up or down on another jpg it shows another picture. But when I try to go back to the previous photo, the image shown is blank and when I try to move to the one I just moved from it also is blank. I have to click on two or three previous pictures and start over again.
This does not affect other files, such as pdf, doc and such; it only affects photos, i.e. .jpg, .psd, .tif etc.
What could be affecting Finder?
Thank you.

It does, but the video files you're trying to preview may not be supported by QT. Download and install the latest versions of Perian and Flip4Mac. You should then be able to see any movie using quicklook.

Keep having to find missing folders for network image files, although library is on local drive

I use Lightroom to store my image files on a networked drive. Whenever I open up Lightroom and want to access the files, it keeps losing the path to the drive and folders. I have to keep using find missing folders on all the subdirectories to see the files. Is there something I can do to prevent this from happening each time?

What is this BSD Name: disk0s1 for that occupy 209.7MB?
That is your EFI partition and shouldn't be touched.
I'm missing around 349GB of disc, after I sum up all my folders.. freeing most huge files.
First, empty your trash.
Open Finder, Click the Apple Logo > About This Mac > More Info.. > Storage

Aperture 2 All Projects will not allow viewing individual files

In the Library/All Projects selection are 4 projects, 3 allow me to click on any image and view it full screen. The 4th will not. Clicking on a picture won't open it, nor can I copy any files from it. How can I fix this? All of my pictures are stored here, over 10,000. And once there was a smart folder called ALL PICTURES in the LIBRARY but it has vanished, How can I put it back?

I tend to limit the size of each project to around 1,000 images as I notice a performance decrease thereafter. With 10,000 in one project you may have a decent slowdown.
Can you create a new project and drag pictures from project 4 into it?
If so divide up your huge project into smaller chunks.
Have you tried to rebuild the library/consistency check (hold alt as you start up aperture and run the checks in order)?
To replace the smart album, click on library, new - smart album - then choose, for example, rating is greater than 'unrated'. Then call it unrated or better photos. Again I tend to steer away from this mega folders due to the resultant slowdown.
Hope this helps

For some reason CS5 cannot find localhost in live view.Image shown

I was trying to open my wordpress blog in live view when I now get an error "Dreamweaver could not find the server "localhost". But it appears correctly in the address window.
I can see the wordpress blog fine in "localhost/wordpress" using IE8. I am using wamp local server which is testing OK and working. I am on XP system.
Also I notice the file folder colors in the file folder are
local view are green
remote view yellow
testing server red
I have reinstalled the program but no change any suggestions where to look.
Thanks bob

Hi Mike,
I found some two mistakes that should solve your problems:
1. typo: use "raw_value" with underscore, then the "category" works.
2. The array support of the Generic Panel is limited to semicolon-separated term lists in a text field,
where each term represent an array item.
For example the "supplemental categories" property should look like:
<xmp_property
     name="SupplementalCategories" category="external"
     label="$$$/stewart/Class=Classification:" type="bag" element_type="text"
     xmp_path="SupplementalCategories" ui:multiLine="true" ui:mru="true" description="..."
/>
Hope this helps,

How to view image file in my JPanel?

Please help me someone. I have an image in my directory, and I want to get it and show it in my JPanel. How can I do this, please answer me urgently, this is a big problem for me

Roopa is half right...
The image is truncated to user space then further still to the components clip bounds starting at x=component.X, y=component.y...
Maybe the question , in true brit style, is not worded as accurately as required...
OPTION 1:
In order to have the entire image visible in the component, you will need to scale it to fit the component's bounds. The Image API provides this funationality...RTFA
OPTION 2:
If you need the entire image to be viewed at its original size, you will need to have the label set as a view port in a scrollpane, with the label's extents equal to the image's.... Logical..... if you need code, read the java tutorial.... there's more than one example....
OPTION 3:
Search these forums for another million odd answers to the same question...

Is there a plug-in to view swf. files?

Is there a plug-in for mac QT that allows viewing swf. files? I am a teacher and I want to be able to embed swf. files into powerpoint, which means I need QT to be able to read swf. I can find full apps that will do it, but it has to be QT to work in powerpoint since it uses QT as its engine.

Kirkster, give the security concern a break, you' ve posted this repeatedly, In the old Windows forum. No media player puts you at such a risk as QuickTime and iTunes do. If Mac computers can't play the files it's a problem with Apple

Viewing TIF files in Mac OS X v4

Hello:
I have been sent some files in TIF format but I cannot find a way to view these files in Mac OS X (10.4). I have confirmed that the files are not corrupted, since I can transfer them to a Windows PC and view them there, but OS X does not appear to have a file viewer that can read them.
Can anyone advise what program can be used for this purpose?
Thanks.
Michael Trotz

Since you can open the TIFFs on a PC, then there must be something wrong with Preview on your Mac. You can use Pacifist to extract the Preview application from your original OS X installation CD/DVD. Replace the one currently on the hard drive.
But there's quite a few other apps that will open a TIFF. Photoshop, Graphic Converter, InDesign, Quark and Illustrator to name a few. There's a bunch of free and shareware viewers you could download here.

"Always Open In..." View Options for Root Level of a Disk Image File

I ran into a problem/bug tonight that I can't find listed anywhere and was wondering if anyone else has encountered it. I am using Snow Leopard (now 10.6.1), upgraded from the last revision of Leopard.
I create DVD-R sized disk images with Disk Utility (using "Mac OS Extended" only w/o Journaling) for saving downloaded files. Because of the number of files on this disk, I create single-letter folders (for alphabetical filing) and set up these disk images to "Always Open In List View". For the individual folders, I can set these to "Always Open In List View" without a problem. However, for the "root level" of these disk images, I can only access "Always Open In Icon View" no matter which view option is selected.
For previously created disk images that were already set to "Always Open In List View", these show the previously set "List View" at the disk image "root level" as expected. But if I uncheck the box, it immediately goes to "Always Open In Icon View". And like before, no matter which view option is selected, I can never get back to "Always Open In List View". Note also that I can set this option as expected for "root levels" of real disks - this only seems to be a problem with the disk image files.
I had no problems at all with this under Tiger or Leopard. I've only run into this now under Snow Leopard. The upgrade tonight to 10.6.1 hasn't seem to affect this problem.
So should I be doing something differently now to get this option to reappear, a possible conflict with something on my computer or is this a bug with Snow Leopard? Can anyone else duplicate this issue?

Additional info, in case anyone is running into this issue...
If I do the following with the "root level" of the disk image, I can set the "Always Open in List View" option.
1. Open the "root level" view of the disk image - for me, it always opens in icon view. Then, select "Show View Options" from the View menu.
2. Check the "Always Open in Icon View" box. While leaving this dialog open, select "as List" from the View menu.
3. Uncheck the "Always Open in Icon View" box. It will instantly turn into "Always Open In List View". Recheck this box immediately, then close dialog. This will make the setting stick.
I've been able to repeat this situation several times. I might be wrong, but it sure acts like a small bug to me. Hope this helps anyone else who might have encountered this issue.

Elements 8 - How to view images by scrolling thru folder of file names?

After taking a large batch of pictures, I want to place them in a folder and rapidly view the full images one at a time to select which to keep and which to discard. IN PE-8 how can I display two panes - one pane containing the image file names contained in a folder and the other pane which displays the image of the file name selected? Using the arrow keys, I want to move through image file names one at a time while displaying the image associated with the file name in the other pane.

One method of accepting or rejecting is to use star ratings.
Select the first image and press F12 to view full screen. Press the 5 key to add five stars.
Press the right keyboard arrow to move to the next image and star or move on.
When you have finished the batch you can filter by the star rating.

"Date Created" incorrect in Finder after copying image files from CF reader

Whenever I download image files (by drag and drop copying) from a CF card reader, the 'Date Created' info incorrectly defaults to 'Dec 31, 1903' in the List view of the Finder window.
'Date Created' shows up blank in the File Info window, too. Correct file info does however show up in the copied Meta Data.
I've only been able to transfer correct 'Date Created' info by using Image Capture, which is pretty annoying.
I've tried several cameras, CF cards, USB & FW card readers, and Macs running both Panther and Tiger. Same problem all around. Interestingly, files copy without a problem onto a PC.
I'm a photographer and I need to sort my images by 'Date Created' because I often shoot with two cameras and need to know the chronological order in which photos were taken.
Ideas anybody?

Will iPhoto '09 (8.1.2) allow me to resize image files to 60 kb?

I'm sorry if this is a very simple task but I've searched and cannot find an answer. I need to be able to upload some photos to the Gardenweb site and they say that the maximum size of image files allows is 60 kb. I searched my iPhoto help and could find nothing about resizing photos for uploading to websites - I also did a Google search but the only program that is suggested for this is called Irfanview and only works with Windows.
I would be very grateful if someone can point me to how I can do this with iPhoto or, alternatively, another program that I could download that would allow me to resize my images.
Cheers

Hi Terence ... As I'd already exported the jpeg to my Desktop I decided to try with another image from iPhoto.
I selected the image in iPhoto then went to File - Export and on the ensuiung 'File Export' tab chose JPEG, quality LOW: Size CUSTOM and then set Maximum dimension to 500 px. I then exported the image to my Desktop and Get Info shows that the file size is 16 KB on disk. I repeated the exercise changing the quality to MEDIUM but left everything else the same. This resulted in a file size of 29 KB on disk. I repeated the exercise again, changing the quality to HIGH. This resulted in a file size of 45KB on disk. Finally, I repeated the exercise changing the quality to MAXIMUM, which resulted in a file size of 168 KB on disk. So, I now know that I can export my images from iPhoto and, following your advice, set the maximum dimension of the image to 500 px and, even using High quality for the JPEG I will get a file size that is well within the maximum file size permitted by the website.
I don't know whether it's relevant but the original image was 3.3MB.
Thank you so much for your help! I was beginning to feel extremely dumb not being able to figure this one out.

I can't seem to figure out how to link the image file in code view. It has to be in code view because the image is hidden in Design View so I can't do it in HTML view. Here's the coded section:

Viewing iPhoto files from the Finder

Prior to iLife '08, I could see pictures in my iPhoto Library files from the Finder, allowing me to browse for files from within Adobe applications. Now I can see nothing. Am I missing something? Is there a way of seeing my image files - or possibly my Albums - from outside of iPhoto without exporting the desired files first?
Thanks...
Bob Magnant

There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
You can set Photoshop as an external editor in iPhoto: Use the general pane in the Prefeences to do this. This way, when you double click on a pic in iPhoto it will open automatically in PS and when you save it it will be saved back to iPhoto atuomatically.
The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves. If you're willing to risk database corruption, you can restore the older functionality simply by right clicking on the iPhoto Library and choosing 'Show Package Contents'. Then simply make an alias to the folders you require and put that alias on the desktop or where ever you want it. Be aware though, that this is a hack and not supported by Apple.

HT6065 Error in Finder when viewing images using Cower Flow

When viewing images in the Finder, mode Cower Flow, first click on the image gives you a blank image, the second press on the same image starts showing pictures.
The first time was installed OS 10.9 - was more interesting mode CowerFlow push the image such as room opens 200.jpg 199.jpg image

Same problems with Coverflow.
When using left and right keys it will open wrong pictures. Not the one which is shown.
Still in 10.9.1!!!!

Finder-pressing spacebar allows viewing images file, sometimes
