Get Info image data missing

I have used the Finder's Get Info command and accompanying window to determine the height and width of images since the beginning of time. Today that capability suddenly disappeared. When I select an image in the Finder and invoke Get Info, under "More Info" there are two hyphens instead of the dimensions in pixels (e.g. 300x250). I tried a dozen images in various formats like JPG and TIF but the dimension info doesn't appear anymore. I'm using System 10.5.8 on a 2008 Mac Pro. All the other expected info (creation dates, name, preview, etc.) in Get Info is there except for the image dimensions.
I did not do any recent updates and haven't noticed anything else amiss. I played around with Finder prefs, restarted the system, repaired permissions, etc. Nothing brought back the image dimensions. I can use Photoshop or other programs to get the image dimensions but using Get Info via the keyboard command was a nice shortcut.

I don't directly use Spotlight - I prefer HoudahSpot's interface to the Spotlight index. I have not changed the prefs in HoudahSpot or Spotlight itself, and the Spotlight Privacy list was empty when I just now checked it.
But you are definitely on to something because after checking the Privacy List to see if any folders had been inadvertently added, I then tried Get Info again on an image file and VOILA! all the image data had been magically restored. Indeed, Get Info image data is now working for all images I have checked in the past few minutes.
Thanks for the pointer. Apparently something triggered Spotlight to prevent the data from appearing and the mere act of checking the Spotlight settings restored the "missing" info.

Some Get Info File Data Not Showing Up On Ext Hard Drives

I've stored all my videos on my external firewire harddrives. I notice some of the file information in the Get Info window on these videos is missing after they are transferred to the external harddrive. Last Opened, Dimensions and Duration are blank. If I play the video these fields remain blank. However the same file on my internal harddrive shows this data.
Anyway to get this information to appear in these files on my external hard drives?
Kelvin

What volume format are your external hard drives?
For example, if they're formatted as Windows FAT32 rather than Mac OS Extended (HFS+), it's possible that that type of extended Finder information isn't supported or can't be preserved when copying the file to the drive.
Hope this helps....

TV Shows in Get Info Video tab missing!

I downloaded the new iTunes 8.0.0.35 today cause I had to update my iPhone firmware and when I did I lost the Tv Shows option under the Video tab in the Get Info pane. What do I do to move my videos into the TV Shows catagory of my library?

It's on the Option tab now, under Media Type.

Why do i keep getting "image is missing preview data" when trying to move files from bridge to PS ??

I am not able to move multiple files to PS...regardless whether I am doing HDR or panorama.....get this "image is missing preview data" with the first file number of the series of files.
#missingpreviewdata

You don't "move" anything from Bridge "into" Photoshop. You use Bridge to call on Photoshop to come and open the file(s), and Bridge simply hands the files over to Photoshop.
The problem lies in how the files are being processed and saved.
No one can help you until you provide complete and sensible details.
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).
a screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too.

Get image data in vc++

hi all,
i'd like to use vc++ to process image data (read/modify pixel values, display the image, etc.) through imaq library.
sample code:
// get the frame
imgGrab (Sid, &ImaqBuffer, TRUE);
// display it using imgPlot
imgPlot ((GUIHNDL)ImaqSmplHwnd, ImaqBuffer, 0, 0, AcqWinWidth, AcqWinHeight, CanvasLeft, CanvasTop, plotFlag);
imaqBuffer ist the buffer for storing image data, which was declared as follows:
static char *ImaqBuffer=NULL; // acquisiton buffer
How can i get the image data from "ImaqBuffer"? (how to get the buffer size?)
thx a lot!
scott

Hi Scott, wit installing NI-IMAQ you will get examples. You can find them in C:\Programme\National Instruments\NI-IMAQ\Sample\MSVC\Grab I think they will answer your question.

Images suddenly missing (Pages 5.5)

Hey all -
I just updated to Pages 5.5
Now all my pages docs are missing their images, and I get the "images are missing because they were deleted" error.
The docs were create recently with Pages (5.2 I think).
I know the images are still in the .pages package in the Data directory. I can see them by navigating in via the Terminal.
But somehow they are disconnected.
Anyone else getting this error?

I've tried it a couple of times now, albeit with test documents I made specially. Here are the steps again...
Open it in Pages 5 and go to File > Revert to > Browse all versions...
Use the Time Machine interface to restore the version before you opened in Pages 5. You'll get a repeat of the warning about how your document is going to be messed up, but you can OK that.
Close the document.
You should now be able to open the same document in Pages '09.

Extracting an image data merge field using only an indesign file and not document.dataMergeProperties.dataMergeFields

Hi,
I have kind of a weird requirement but I hope you guys can help out.
I need to extract all the custom fields used in an indesign file without referencing the dataMergeProperties of a document. Sorry if this is a weird request it is just what I've been told (our system needs to not crash when people upload a variety of in design documents to generate high resolution jpg preview documents).
I can already get all the text custom fields by looking for "<<" and ">>" in the text frames of a document but I'm having a really hard time finding the image custom fields.
I tried looking at the rectangles for a given page but that didn't seem to help (but maybe i'm missing some there). I also tried looking at the graphics and images collection of a document but this seemed to return only graphics that are hard coded on the in design document and not the custom image fields.
Any help would be appreciated!

Uggg....
Found the answer after I realized I was looking at the wrong SDK (5.0 instead of 6.0)
I'm using the doc.hyperlinkPageItemSources property to get these images. It also looks like you can get the image data merge fields from DataMergeImagePlaceholder (but rememeber I couldn't access this).

Error " Data missing for the entry check while creating a new waste code

Hi all, While setting a new Waste code I get the error " Data missing for the entry check, correction:". while filling the NAM- WASTECOCAT - LER item.
This sould look for the catalog's name included in the phrase set but for some reason it doesn't find it giving me this error.
I am changing original Characteristics, phrase set, classes, and value assignment type. Just to have my own estructure with Znames for all of them.
I have also change the enviroment parameter "WAM_PHRSET_WACATLG" with the name of my phrase set.
I have checked everything several times watching for typos or looking for a missing step.
I have even tried including my new Z's characteristics in the classe and living the original SAP_EHS_1024_001_WASTE_CATALOG. (changing the enviroment parameter WAM_PHRSET_WACATLG to SAP_EHS_1024_001_WASTE_CATALOG) and it works.
I will like to change this characteristic by Z_EHS_WA_WASTE_CATALOG
Phrase set to Z_EHS_WA_WASTE_CATALOG.
enviroment parameter WAM_PHRSET_WACATLG= Z_EHS_WA_WASTE_CATALOG
After matching up the master data It should work fine but I might be missing something to get it running ok.
¿Any idea?
Regards,
Alvaro

Hello Juan Carlos, the value and class that I want to duplicate and doesn't work is for Waste Code, I have also duplicated the one you have displayed (waste pproperties) without any problem.
1.I have duplicated and changed class SAP_EHS_1024_001. to Z_EHS_WA
2. Create a copy of the 5 characteristics included in this class.
SAP_EHS_1024_001_WASTE_CATALOG
SAP_EHS_1024_001_WASTE_CODE
SAP_EHS_1024_001_WA_SUBCATEG
SAP_EHS_1024_001_WA_CATEGORY
SAP_EHS_1024_001_REMARK
change the name by
Z_EHS_WA_WASTE_CATALOG
Z_EHS_WA_WASTE_CODE
Z_EHS_WA_SUBCATEG
Z_EHS_WA_CATEGORY
Z_EHS_WA_REMARK.
I checked the funcion C14K_WASTECATLG_CHECK is in the value of the Z_EHS_WA_WASTE_CODE characteristic
I checked the funcion C14K_WASTECODE_CHECK is in the value of the Z_EHS_WA_WASTE_CATALOG characteristic
3. Create phrase sets for each new category. with same name.
4. Match up the master data.
5. Change the enviroment parameter.to Z_EHS_WA_WASTE_CATALOG
I think I have followed all the steps, but for some reason it doesn't find the catalog
The phrase for the catalog is EWC in english and LER in spanish.
Regards
Alvaro.

How to get the pixel data so as to work on it?

Hi all,
I am trying to write a plug-in that will crop and scale the image, edit the selection in the image document based on image data. For this purpose I need the pixel data of the image. How to get the image data as different pixels and what is the data structure used to store this data?
Assumption: No layers i.e., only background
Thanks in advance,
Sailu

Hi Ilya,
Thank you for your post. In the plugin architecture you propose (automation + filter), do you have an idea about how to share the pixel data between the two plugins? I have found a post that gives details about how to get pixel data and show it using ADM components
Matthew Hollingworth, "ADM Color Managed Preview?" #1, 22 Oct 2007 11:53 pm but it supposes that you have a filter plug-in.
Again, does anyone knows how to preview the current image in a AUTOMATION plug in? This seems impossible.
Thank you all for your help
Cheers,
Chaker

Issue with 'Get Info'

I have just transferred all of my music including my itunes folder over to an external hardrive.
I can add it, play it and sync it all without any problems, but when i tried to access the info on every track it comes up shaded, exactly like it doees when the track's location can't be found, even though it works perfectly.
I have tried almost everything that i can think of and am now at a complete loss..is this because i have moved everything?

I have a similar issue. I have a brand-new ipod. I'm running the current version of iTunes on a laptop running XP. I'm able to change the "get info" song data on SOME tracks, but not others. The most baffling thing to me is that is seems I can change song data ONCE... and then it becomes "greyed out" and off-limits. What gives?
It's a truly infuriating problem. It's really enough to make me consider scrapping iTunes altogether for file management. What's the point if I have no control over my metadata?
My iTunes folder (and sub-folders) show a partially-checked "read only" box in their preferences. I can force this to be "wide open"... but then it goes right back to partial status. (the individual problem music files themselves are all unchecked for "read only"--I verified that they start that way, they stay that way.)
I tried temporarily force-unlocking the album folder as you did, then--when I STILL couldn't change the song data, I copied it within iTunes with "convert to AAC" (which is weird, because it already WAS in AAC, supposedly). I could then edit the "get info" data on the new copy. Upon reopening iTunes, the new copy remains editable, while the old copy remained uneditable. It was, however, delete-able, and I scrapped the track post-haste.
So.. that worked. ...But what a horrible work-around!
It seems to me that iTunes is preventing me from changing downloaded metadata (at least more than once) even though the tracks are all ripped from my CD collection. Is there some reason that changing the "sort artist" or "sort album" items would lock-down all other fields for editing?

Do you have VDM? Did you try "Image to array"?

BP data missing in some Lead transactions of MSA.(Data Inconsistency)

The BP information(Company name & Contact person) is NOT getting displayed on some of the Lead transactions on MSA. Although,it is displayed on most of the Lead transaction on MSA.
1) If I download say 20 Leads from CRM Server to MSA, the BP data is missing only on some 4-5 Leads. All other Lead have the correct BP information.
2) And, if 2 Leads are downloaded for the same BP, 1 Lead has the BP data whereas the other does NOT have it.
-This shows that the BP data is available in MSA database but it is NOT displayed on the MSA tileset.
-Also, we are able to pull the BP (Activity Partner & Contact person) under the respective BP search on MSA.
We checked the Client SQL database table and all the data (Master & Transaction) are present there.
However, when we check the tables for the Lead where BP is missing, the BP information is NOT available. i.e, the BP information is not available at the table level for that particular transaction.
In spite of all the Master data available in database level.
Can anyone please help us with this?
Thanks in advance.
Jags.

Hi there,
Yes.We are able to reproduce it as and when we want the "error samples".
One more finding, we DON'T see this issue on DEV setup. It is working fine.
However, when we try to upload the same flat file containing 24 Leads on Testing environment, invariably we get the "BP data missing" at least for 3 Lead transactions.
This is the case on Production environment as well.
We are already contemplating on OSS ticket.
Thanks for your help.
Jags.
