"Get Info" displaying wrong file size

Hey Guys take a look at the image to see my issue
get info shows two different file sizes but then when i send the file or upload it to a server it shows the real file size
anyone see this before?

Hiya.
When I attach the image to an new empty email, before I send it I do not see any "Image Size popup at the bottom right corner of the window." The only size info I can see is the "Message Size" on the bottom left hand side. On the bottom right hand side there is Image Size with a drop down menu where you can choose to view the image either by "Actual Size"(default), Small, Medium or Large.
I am only able to see the attachment size info above the image after I have sent it when I go into Sent Messages or after I have sent it to myself I can see it in the received message.
Can you tell me where to hover the cursor to get this "Image Size popup"?
I am using Mail - Version 4.2 to send the message.
Thanks again Thomas.

  • Osx lion get info reporting incorrect file size

    Hi all,
    I am trying to troubleshoot a strange problem I am having with Adobe Revel. Adobe have been helping me to resolve it but my mac is displaying some odd behaviour which I need to explain and which may be affecting the adobe app.
    The adobe app creates a library file of pictures and the file should be growing as I download more pictures. If I right click on the folder and "Get info" the folder size shown is smaller than I would expect at 25MB given that it should contain a good number of Jpeg files.
    I have downloaded an app called "Grand Perspective" to help me manage disk space and for this particular file it reports a completely different (much Larger) file size than "Get Info" did (155 MB) which is much closer to what I would expect to find and it is growing as more pictures are downloaded.
    Any idea what could cause "Get Info" to report the wrong file size.
    I have another osx Lion mac with the same software loaded and although a completely different machine, it reports the same file size for this library folder as grand perspective does.
    Any help gratefully accepted.

    I'm finding the same behaviour running Lion 10.7.2 and the file with the exact same problem as yours is a Sente (bibliography software) library containing references and pdfs.  'Get Info' reports it as 130KB but I know the file is much much larger than that! Even the Size reported on Get Info shows 874.4MB which is still too small.  If I 'Show Package Contents' on the file and 'Get Info' on the 'Contents' folder which it then shows, I get the correct size of 1.14GB
    Apple Tech Support over the phone wasn't able to explain this behaviour.

  • No "purchased by" or "account name" in Get Info display

    The first song I purchased from the iTunes
    store works fine. When I use "Get Info" to
    see the details there appears to be corrent
    information for the "Purchased By" and "Account
    Name" fields.
    Every other song I have purchased since then
    does not display anything for "Purchased By"
    or "Account Name" in the "Get Info" display.
    The header appears to be missing or corrupt
    in all of these files. None of them will play
    when I click them and press play, I get no
    error or sign in prompt, nothing...
    I have about had it with the lack of response
    I'm gotten from my emails to tech. support.
    After 3 days I got a message that said I should
    look for the files on the hard disk. Its clear
    that they did not read my email and they have
    not replied since, that was about 3 days ago...

    Hi ailurous,
    I run repair permissions all the time without first booting from the install disk. It works fine. On the other hand, attempting to Repair Disk without booting from the install disk will not work.
    I'm thinking something other than faulty permissions is causing your problems..
    That being said, I'd suggest booting off your install disk, running Disk Utility, and selecting First Aid>Repair Disk.
    If it says that it couldn't repair the disk, just keep running it until it gives you the Disk Successfully Repaired message.
    Let us know if this helps or if you get some error messages.

  • Can I change where on the screen the "get info" display pops up?

    Can I change where on the screen the "get info" display pops up? I have dual 23" cinema displays and the Get Info box always pops up inconveniently on the far, far left. Is there a way to change the default location, more towards the middle, where it would fit better into my work flow?

    treetopstudio,
    I'm not sure to change the default of Get Info but what you could do is open the Inspector instead it 1 remembers it location when you close it and 2 when you click on another icon in finder changes to that. To open it instead of the get info window Option + Command + i or hold Option and click File show Inspector.
    Hope that helps,

  • Get Info on QT files

    Get Info on QT files displays movie duration on initial display but then won't display duration on subsequent queries.

    Update to original: Restarting Finder resets all files to display duration on the first query. So is this more appropriately a Finder question/problem?

  • When I try to save, I keep getting the message "The document could not be saved. You don't have permission" - even though I am the Administrator and the Get Info displays "Administrator and (me)".

    When I try to save, I keep getting the message "The document could not be saved. You don't have permission" - even though I am the Administrator and the Get Info displays "Administrator" and my_name(me)". Also, when I do a disk permission repair, it always repairs the same applications and files. Last night, I did a disk permission repair twice and both times it took a long time and did the exact same repair both times.

    Disk Utility won't repair your home folder.  Sounds like your home folder permissions are messed up tho.  Try repairing them this way by using Lion Recovery.
    1. Restart Lion, and before you hear the chime, hold down the Command and R keys.
    2. You’ll be at the Repair Utilities screen. Click the Utilities item in the Menu Bar, then click Terminal.
    3. In the Terminal window, type resetpassword and hit Return.
    4. The password reset utility window launches, but you’re not going to reset the password. Instead, click on icon for your Mac’s hard drive at the top. From the dropdown below it, select the user account where you’re having issues.
    5. At the bottom of the window, you’ll see an area labeled Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the Reset button there.
    The reset process takes just a couple of minutes. When it’s done, exit the programs you’ve opened and restart your Mac.
    Good luck

  • Finder crashes when I attempt to "get info" on a file

    My finder crashes when I try to "get info" on a file by clicking Apple-I. Any suggestions for how to proceed?

    Still having the problem; any suggestions for how to fix it? I've run Onyx, Tech Tool Pro and Disk Utility.

  • TS3771 Why can't I select "get info" from the file area so I can change the setting to "open in 32-bit mode" ?

    Why can't I select "get info" from the file area so I can change the setting to "open in 32-bit mode" ?

    It may be because of your settings. You can modify that setting in System Preferences > Trackpad. Another way of making right-click is to click the app icon while holding the Control key

  • Get Info versus Calculate All Sizes

    When I go to Finder > View Options and set Calculate All Sizes to "on" for all windows, the GB Free is posted under the hard drive icon (e.g. 94.04 GB, 24.45 GB free). If that value changes for any reason (download of files, whatever), it doesn't immediately update the values under the icon. If I do a Get Info, however, it has updated immediately.
    Is there a way to force Get Info and Calculate to remain in synchronization?

    That should do the trick.

    that option does not display the HD sizes so its useless when copying between drives, no way to determing how much space is left with out loking for a new window which is backwards,
    i dont see anything cool about lion, maybe if i just got my first mac and into games, nice job apple, not only forgeting pro users into graphics or film but regular day to day  real life situations users who are not just at apple presentations or in a store trying out a mac, to think their is no need for this feature proves who the marketing department is actually targeting for sales,, talk about a flash in the pan presintation

  • I a owner and administrator. I can't change any file permissions. Help tells me to 'get info' on a file, them click on the lock icon to enter password. The lock icon is not present on any files I 'get info' on. How can I change permissions

    I attached an external drive to my macbook pro for backup purposes. I found that the device is 'read only' for me. I read that I could change permissions by selecting 'get info' for a item and clicking the lock icon to submit my password. The lock icon is not displayed on any 'info' window for any file on my macbook, much less the attached drive. I am the only user and administrator as far as I know. What steps can I take to change permissions? Thanks. My 1st post.

    How can I tell? The 'get info' window has no lock and under sharing and permissions, on says 'you can only read'. I did a get info on the Macintosh HD and it had a lock on it but said I could only read, for what that it worth.

  • Get Info for multiple files

    OS X 10.9.4, 27”, late 2013
    Seems to be a beginner’s problem, sorry …
    I have a folder on my HD with 250 mp3 files (1.25GB) and want to copy some to a SD card (512MB).
    So I (shift) select say 95 files in Finder:
    It lists “95 of 250 selected, 723.39 GB available”
    - Thanks, but at the moment I’m not interested in the space available on my HD (@AppleDevelopers: Check the Win Explorer for some ideas of usability … and what you should not do …).
    To get the size I try the right click at the selected files (blue) with “Get Info” (or the top menu icon) - but now 95 windows pop up with the size of each file, I can’t stop it (fascinating to watch, indeed) and don’t know how to close all “Get Info” windows at once.
    1) 95 x Cmd+W or “Quit” Finder from Activity Monitor?
    2) How to “Find” the size of a bunch of files?
    (I bet it was working before, selecting multiple files with one “Get Info” summary?)

    Thanks for your response(s).
    2. The option, Command and I key works, great.
    I did not understand the “or press Option when the File menu is open …” instruction, always returns the folder size.
    The slow moving shift + Get Info is cool.
    I am sure I did not use any of these combinations before, but ... +

  • Quicktime Pro - get rid of excess file size

    Hi,
    I have FCS2 on some computers, but not on others (licensing) so I want to use Qt Pro to do simple editing on those.. mainly to cut off extra blank footage when I capture too much from an analog source.
    I know how to edit the footage in QT Pro, but even though the finder shows the new duration, and if I import it into FCP it shows the new duration, the finder shows the file size as the original huge size..
    Eg. I capture a 30 min tape, but let the capture run for 2 hrs say.. So the DV codec file I have is 25 Gb or so.. I edit it down to the 30 mins, and it shows in Finder as having this new 30 min duration, but the Finder also says the 30 min file is still 25GB.
    I understand non-destructive editing in FCP, and one can use Media Management to get rid of the excess footage.. (to kinda make it destructive..?)
    Is Quicktime Pro a non-destructive editor only? I'd love it if someone could tell em that it's not... that with a certain quick action or two I could scuttle the excess footage without having to go through an export scenario..
    Pete

    Is Quicktime Pro a non-destructive editor only?
    No, not as long as you trim the content to your selection and then saved the result as a separate, independent file. (Most use the "standalone" option here and either archive or delete the original content.)
    I know how to edit the footage in QT Pro, but even though the finder shows the new duration, and if I import it into FCP it shows the new duration, the finder shows the file size as the original huge size..
    Just ran a quick test on my system (G5 2.0 PPC under Leopard 10.5.8 using QT Pro 7.6.4 and FCP v6.0.6) with the result that the Finder Info, QT 7 Inspector, and FCP Properties windows all agreed that the trimmed content file was indeed smaller (in my case about half the size) than my original file.

  • Hard Drive Size (Get Info) vs Actual Backup Size

    Get Info on my Hard Drive clearly states that 168 GB are used, HOWEVER when using Time Machine and Super Duper the backup size is 60 GB. Moreover, I have done a manual compare on the backup and actual hard drive directory by directory and the folders are all the proper sizes. What can be triggering et Info to be reporting such a discrepancy?

    If you've done more than one Time Machine backup, looking at the size of each backup folder will show a wildly inflated size: each backup will appear to be roughly the size of your entire system. This is because each folder has "hard links" to all the files that didn't change between backups.
    If you're putting Time Machine backups and SuperDuper backups on the same disk drive, they should be in separate partitions. See #3 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip,* also at the top of this forum.

  • "change all" is grey after getting info on a file

    Greetings,
    I can't stop Preview and set Photoshop to open all graphics files with a .pdf ending. When I get info on a .pdf file the "change all files like this" button is greyed out.
    What am I doing wrong? Adobe advises using .pdf. Is .pdf less portable in 10.4.4?
    Thanks,
    Garrett

  • "Get info" on video files freezes iTunes for minutes.

    When I right click a video file and select "get info", iTunes always freezes for at least 60 seconds. Then it shows the normal tag info. If I change anything and press ok it freezes again, then it works as it should (with the edited info saved properly). This is making it impossibly time consuming for me to organize my TV-Shows to my new iPod.
    No issue with audio files, but all mp4 video I've tried so far gives me this issue (from movies of 2 hours to YouTube clips of 10 seconds length).
    I have tried reinstalling with the newest version to no effect. I'm clueless, can't find anybody else with the same problem.
    +_Help me please._+

    This has always been the case for me. I thought it was normal behavior for iTunes.
