Get Info in Finder shows iPhoto at v8.1.2?

I don't think this is a big issue, but does anyone else's iPhoto show up as version 8.1.2 from the Finder's Get Info window after installing iLife '11? I initially upgraded over iLife '09 but deleted the app and reinstalled. Same result.
Choose About iPhoto inside the app does show that it is iPhoto '11 and version 9, and all the other iLife apps show the right version numbers in the Finder and in the app. Just wanted to see if others are seeing a similar thing.
Thanks.

My iPhoto shows as V 9.0 in the Finder. Have you rebooted since you've installed it?

Finder issues and Get Info refusing to show the number of files on items on the main hard drive.

I am having finder issues. Mostly on the main hard drive. It takes ages to find things and I get the spinning wheel every time I open a folder.
So I moved all of my files to a external drive. When I had finished transfering I hit get info on the files on the external drive and on the same folder on the main drive. To ensure that it has copied over all the files. Because it was acting up and not copying all the files.
Get Info refuses to show the number of files within the folders on the main hard drive. It hasppily tells me everything on any of the external drives.
I have reset, the imac. I have re indexed 3 times. I have deleted the finder plist files. I have reset finder using terminal commands. I have moved nearly everything off the main hard drive. But nothing is working.
Can anyone offer any suggestions as to what could be causing my finder and get info issues.
Any help wpuld be appreciated.

Some of your user files (not system files) have incorrect permissions or are locked. This procedure will unlock those files and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Back up all data.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -N {} + -type d -exec chmod +x {} + 2>&-
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Snow Leopard Finder's Get Info fails to show Owner and Group for some files or folders which reside on a Shared Volume, hosted by G5 Server w/ OS 10.4 - why?

Frustrations with file permissions abound, as certain co workers are unable to manually determine their level of permission or who to ask to make changes to files and folders belonging to others. Users of Snow Leopard desktop OS get unhelpful feedback via Finder's Get Info, seeing only the permissions listed for "Everyone" and a statement that "You have custom access". The custom message exists, presumably, because ACL's are employed on the shared volume in an attempt to give managerial control over these volumes to specific users, even if all users can create files and folders on those volumes.
Shared volumes are partitions of an external RAID which are set up as sharepoints on a G5 tower running Server 10.4. Other persons in the office, using machines that are running desktop OS 10.5, can correctly see the assigned Owner and Group permissions (although the "custom access" still shows). This at least lets the 10.5 user know who created a given file or folder, so that they can resolve permissions-restricted issues if they come up (i.e. User A wants to delete file X, but as it was created by User B, A must contact B and have them delete it. In 10.6 it appears that A cannot determine who B is).
I know that ACL's are functioning (enabled on the drive) since we have been making use of ACL-granted write privileges for quite a while (and the custom access seems to be evidence too).
An error I encountered, pertaining to this, is that I used a 10.6 machine to create a working folder, then generated and saved several files in this location. Expected permissions thus would be Owner = me (i.e. the user I was logged in as), R/W, Group = staff, R only, Everyone = R only. However, immediately the permissions shown in Finder / Get Info consisted only of Everyone = R only, with no entry for Owner or Group. Moreover, clicking + to add either an Owner or a Group resulted in error message that I had entered an invalid user or group, even though I typed in correct info (such as trying to add "staff" as a group).

Printing Get Info and Finder Window

Probably something simple: I'm desperate to find out how to print the Get Info window on a Word document and to print the finder window. I need to be able to prove when a document was created. Thanks.

Try the third-party utilities Print Window or PrintFinder. You'll find them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
You can snapshot a selected portion of any screen by pressing the COMMAND-SHIFT-4 keys. The pointer will change to a cross hairs that you can use to select the portion of the screen you want to snapshot. Once the selection is made and you release the mouse button the picture will be saved by default to the Desktop. Pressing ESC after the keys selection will abort the process.
There are other screen and window printing software that you will find at the above referenced sites. Just do a little searching.

EXIF info in Finder and iPhoto different

When I import pictures from my Canon Powershot Pro1, iPhoto has the correct exif info, but any other program, either finder or another program called "Name those files", uses faulty exif information, namely that the creation date of the file is the import date. I like to rename my files, including the original date it was taken, and I am not able to because of this glitch, although maybe I should rename in iPhoto. I don't know.

mevannorden:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There's a contextual menu application, PhotoToolCM 2.0, that will batch rename the files to the EXIF date -0 YYYY-MM-DD-01.jpg. You can use it before importing into iPhoto. You can also use another renaming application, like R-Name to append the additional information to the file name. You will end up with a file name like this: YYYY-MM-DD-01-your info here.jpg

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

How do i get photos from finder to iPhoto

I copied a bunch of photos from a key into finder. but I can't get them into iPhoto. how do I do that?

Ever Since iCloud and HOmesharing, my playlists are completely empty and also most of my music has an exclamation point next it and when I click "get Info" and "find", it says it can't be found...

...I am really upset. I waited a long time before calling tech support b/c I knew it was going to be a nightmare. I'm 2 hours into a call with no resolution....
MOST OF MY MUSIC FILES HAVE AN EXCLAMATION POINT NEXT TO THEM. Many were from 100s of cds I've burned over the years (ever since the first iPod came out), and the rest were iTunes purchases. I can't tell which is which at this point but in my iPhone, on our iPods, on my iPad2, and my iMac....all of my playlists are empty. I distraught....It's years of building. Please someone, help me!

Ok, I had a glitch, forced to restart, and lost my train of thought.
Reinstalling iTunes should fix the major issue that might have gone wrong, perhaps your explaination points will disappear and everything will be peachy again.
But if they don't, you can open the XML file in iTunes Folder using a Text edit program to see what the common pathname is to the iTunes Music folder or where your content is located.
If you moved the itunes folder, it needs to go back.
I can't download iTunes to my Vista virtual machine to test it out right now because iTunes is down, so I can't verify the pathname, perhaps your issue and the iTunes being down are related somehow?
You don't want to import all your music again, but it's a option, but you lose all your playlists, that's what I'm trying to recover.
If oyu don't have a whole lot of playlists, then simply select all the explaimation point music and delete, select File from the menu and import your itunes folder again.

Why doesnt Bit Rate show when you Get Info

When you downgrade the bit rate of a song in itunes for example, from 320kbps to 128kbps then click get info it will show the bit rate, but if you use your Finder locate the song file and click get info it will be missing
why is this
is there a way to make it show?

You cannot show bit rate using finder. This value is not included in the get info box - only sample rate is shown. You should use iTunes to find the bit rate of the track which you can see in song view if you have added this from view > view options.
If you want to see in finder, I suggest that you provide feedback to Apple.

Wrong Art Work shows in iTunes but is correct in both "Get Info" and Internet Explorer

I am using Window 7 ultimate; itunes 11.0.2.25. I put album art on a song (right click, get info, artwork, delete anything there, add my artwork). Now shows correct in "get info" (and also shows correct in Windows Explorer) ... but doesn't show correct in iTunes. I have deleted and retried multiple times ... works for some song but does not work for MANY songs. Suggestions? Since it also shows correct in Windows Explorer not even sure how to change it manually outside of iTunes .. it still show an OLD album cover (not even sure where it get is)

I believe the album was only load for one of the tracks. This can happen if the album art was NOT from the Apple Store. Go into iTunes on your Mac and select the album in question. Click on each track and confirm art on the lower left hand corner. If it's blank, ctrl-click on the artwork to copy and paste it into the lower left hand corner. You can also select all tracks and paste the artwork into the lower left hand corner.
Let us know if this works.

Mavericks finder crash - get info for ML labels

Easy and repeatable way to crash the Mavericks Finder - if you have a file/folder/partitiion/volume with a label from Mountain Lion - hit command-I for Get Info - POW - Finder crashes and restarts

Hey EJW Tas!
Try a Safe Boot to see if that resolves your issue with Finder:

Display number of items in Get Info results?

Our studio has finally made the jump to OS-X (Tiger) from OS-9. (Okay... I'll admit we had a bit of an "encounter" with Windows XP in the interim...)
Part of our production workflow sees 1000's of folders/files routinely moved around from various media - CF card to hard-drive, DVD to external hard-drive etc. As part of our SOP, after a large transfer of important files, we check both the source drive/folder and the destination drive/folder to ensure the item count is the same.
In OS-9, Apple accomodated this step in the Get Info window by showing the number of items in any given volume or folder. In OS-X, it seems to be gone. Surely I'm missing something...
If Apple truly has done away with this feature (bad move from a production standpoint IMHO) is there a third-party patch or app that can display the number of items in any given folder or volume?
Thanks-

I made an Automator action, which I can access with a control click on any folder.
1. Launch Automator, click on Finder in the Library, then drag the "Get Selected Finder Items" from Actions into construction area
2. Click on Automator in the Libray, select Run Applescript in Actions and drag it into the work area
3. Paste in this Applescript:
tell application "Finder"
count every file of entire contents of (selection as alias) --files only
display dialog ((the result) as string) & " Files" & "." buttons {"OK"} default button 1
end tell
4. Go to menu item File and select Save As Plugin, fill in the name and have it as a plug-in for Finder. It will be saved to
"/Users/username/Library/Workflows/Applications/Finder/FileCount.workflow"
which will appear in the Automator section of your control click contextual menu.
This counts files only. If you want to include files and folders you will need to change the Applescript.

How can I add to the options automatically appearing in Get Info window?

Can anyone please tell me if there is a way to change the options in the Get Info window to show more of them? For example, as well as Album Name, Artist, Composer, Genre, date I'd like to have Grouping and Comment come up each time. At the moment, for each album I import I have to go to Edit>View Options and then add them. It is getting to be a drag. I tried ticking them in Library>Show Columns but that doesn't seem to bring them up in the Get Info window. And yes, I do regularly want to add the same comment to every track on the album!

Mike,
Thank you, your info has been very helpful and I think I have followed you (wouldn't it be nice if English were less vague?) - selecting multiple items had me a little stumped - do you mean that I go to, say, Library, and highlight an album and then CMD-I means I that exactly all the things I wanted come up? I did this a few times and it works fine. But I'm not sure if that is actually what you meant. Maybe there is another way of selecting multiple items that I haven't yet cottoned on to? You can tell I'm not very good at this, I really appreciate your help.

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?

Can't force iMovie HD 6 on Intel Core Duo iMac into Rosetta from get info.

I can't get it to force imovie hd 6 into rosetta mode from get info. (doesn't show words and check box "force Rosetta" like other programs. If it can't, how can i get chromakey on imovie?

Last night, I was trying to do this as well. I was attemping to get plugins that worked with iMovie5 and clicking the Rosetta option was supposed to be work-around. I am guessing it no longer works with the latest versions of the Intel systems or iMovie.
