"Get info" not work

I recently bought a laptop and installed my Creative Media source for my two Creative MP3 players -- Zen Extra and Muvo. I've installed it before on my old computer and our current computer with no problem. This time, however, when I hit "get info" I get
Microsoft Visual C++ Run time Library message. Underneath it says runtime error.
Anyone have any idea why I may be getting this?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply. I've managed to get my own account working again thru purging of caches and repeatedly deleting the Finder pref file. However, the other account (my wife's) is still hosed up.
I took your advice and looked in the Console window when trying to do a "Get Info" in my wife's account. The first "Get Info" worked (??), but the second try on another file didn't, and I got this message in the console:
"Finder failed to load a resource -- the binary is corrupted"
Not a good sign. Question is, can I find the corrupted resource (assuming it's a program) and replace it?
I'm going to experiment with a new account to see if some account feature has become corrupted rather than the OS.

"Get Info" not working!

Today I started up my MacBook Pro and when I tried to use the "get info" function it wouldn't work. It seems to relaunch the finder each time I try to get info for any file. It doesn't seem to matter whether or not I try to use a two-finger click to bring up the menu or use the cmd-I shortcut. In both cases the finder relaunches and I don't get the info pane.
I've tried restarting and resetting the finder preferences, but none of it has worked. I can't seem to find anyone else who has had this problem.
I have absolutely no idea what else to try - any help would be HUGELY appreciated!!

You may have to consider using the OS X installer, booted, to try & install
what is referred to as an "Archive and Install" of a new system folder.
{If it is not a hardware-based defect. Note I refer to using the Hardware Test
which accompanied your computer when new, to delve into this deeper.}
While this may fix the problem, you have to be sure to choose for this new
Archive and Install process to keep your former user account, network
settings and other personalized items and use them in the new System.
Then, after installing a new system in that way, from the 10.5 installer,
and repair disk permissions with Disk Utility, get and install the OS X
Combo update; then restart and repair disk permissions again... And
then get the Security Update, and all other important updates, a few
at a time if possible, (you can get them direct as stand-alone files from
the Apple Support> Downloads page) and not rely solely on the main
Software Update application; that may try to load too many at one time.
If the computer's hard disk drive is not too close to critically full of data
from your using the computer and saving files to there, it may be possible
to do this Archive & Install, and update the resulting new system to the
level you presently have. And the old system would be renamed to read
Previous System. You could access that to copy items if needed into the
new system folder; and then after a time, put it into Trash and empty it.
There may be a hardware issue behind the problems you have experienced;
so there is an Apple Hardware Test on the original Install disc for the Mac
which shipped with it (not knowing if you had upgraded past the first OS)
and instructions on that DVD say how to boot into the Hardware Test from it.
In the test is a way to make the hardware test run in a loop for a time, maybe
hours, to see if it can find the cause of the problem you noted. If there is a
hardware problem, then further troubleshooting may be required to see what
may be the better path to take in regard to repairing the computer.
Hopefully someone with more experience in the issue and error message
you cite, may notice your thread and add helpful comments here.
Good luck & happy computing!

"get info" not recalculating "size" field in iTunes XML database correctly

I have updated some of my mp3 files directly in the iTunes directory. The update changed from CBR to VBR at a higher bit rate. I selected the files and used 'get info' to update the iTunes database with the new bit rate information, which seemed to work fine. The resulting update works fine on the 1G nano, the 3G nano and the 1G iPod (yes, 1G!), but does not work on the iPod 5G (Video 80Gb). On the 5G iPod the changed songs will play for about a minute, then jump to the end of the song.
After much investigation, I found that deleting the song from iTunes and re-adding it solved the problem. When I examined the iTunes database had a different value for the size field. It went from
<key>Size</key><integer>4969036</integer>
to
<key>Size</key><integer>4967106</integer>
There are other changes, but this seems to be the most significant.
Is there any way to force iTunes to re-calculate this field?
Thanks,
Jonathan
PS I will post this on the iPod forum as well.

My own experience with truncated songs on the iPod is that I flag them when they happen. When I get back to iTunes, I resync and pull up the recently played and find those songs. Note the time, which is usually shown as the abbreviated version. If I then double click them to play, iTunes will normally update the time to the correct time. Resyncing to the iPod fixes the problem.
Oh I should mention that I give truncated songs on my iPod a 3-star rating as a tag. So after I "re-play" the song on iTunes to fix the time, I then change the rating back to no-stars. So this also forces an update back to the iPod. So you might have to tweak something after fixing the time to get it to reupdate back to the iPod.

Show inspector more info not working

I recently upgraded to Lion and I notice that when I use the "Show Inspector" to view information on multiple files with one Info window is not working properly. In Snow Leopard as I clicked on different image files the "More Info" section would show image sizes. Now in Lion it doesn't show anything but a line "-". As I click on different images it doesn't show anything in the "More Info" section. Can any body help me with this? Has this function changed some how in Lion?

I'll answer my own question then :-p
It seems that when you change the library view options to sort manually then you no longer get the information popup (which makes sense). Changing back to date or album view brought back the info.
FYI.

Album art added via Itunes 'Get Info' not updating on iPhone 5

Im wanting to use Itunes specifically to add album artwork to my music which is managed manually. With the previous itunes version, it was a case of dragging and dropping a jpeg into the bottom left corner and hey presto! However, now...nothing.
Ive confirmed all manner of things/issues explained after "research" on the net. So far nothing has worked out. Ive confirmed that the artwork is jpeg (even tried png) and also that its not locked under any specific permissions in Windows 7.
To illustrate the annoyance of it, i can use a third party program to add the album art to an mp3 (prior to it being synced onto the iphone) and it will show up perfectly then! Now, you may be wondering 'why not just do that? problem solved'. Not quite. Windows is annoying to say the least especially with album artwork. Its all fine adding the artwork to mp3 files, but it then adds hidden artwork files in the folders themselves.
As i said before, i was able to do it manually with the previous itunes version but now im out of ideas. The 'Get Info' tab then onto 'Artwork' in itunes is where im trying to update the files. I can load them there, they will show on the files under itunes, but not on the iphone. As i manage my music manually ive also attempted to remove all tracks, re-sync and try and add again; nothing.
Any ideas would be much appreciated. Granted this can only be really described as an annoyance, but its annoying nonetheless.
Peace

Dragging music files directly from Windows and dropping onto the device? I have no idea how that is even possible, but right there you're deviating from the intended design -- iTunes is meant to be the intermediary.
Are you suggesting that i first update the music in the itunes library and then drag & drop to the iphone? In a way, not manually manage the music?
Yes, that IS what what I'm suggesting, and that is what manually managing means in the iTunes world. It is a media manager for your devices, and if you're bypassing it then its no wonder you're struggling. It sounds like you're coming from a mp3 player perspective, and like it or not, that's not how i-devices work.
I'm sorry to say, but if you try to force things another way it will be a rocky relationship to say the least.

"Open with" in Get Info not sticking

I want InDesign files to open in CS4 not CS5 (both are loaded), when I click on an InDesign file and Get Info then twirl down 'Open with: I change it to Adobe InDesign CS4, works as it should, however, when I click 'Change All' the Open with changes to back to CS5.
What am I missing???

Take a look at this Adobe forum thread:
*Mac Open With will not change default after CS5 Load*
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/630343
If [Soxy|http://www.rorohiko.com/wordpress/downloads/lightning-brain-soxy> is not a good solution for you and you don't find another method, a workaround might be to keep an icon for CS4 in your Dock, and then drag the InDesign files onto that icon instead of double-clicking them.

Get Info not showing Thumbnail

FCS Newbie (1.5.2). When opening the 'get info' panel on an asset, it doesn't show the thumbnail above the metadata on the upper left side of the panel. It's not that big of a deal, but I want to make sure this isn't an indication of other problems with my db.
How I got here: I installed the application and created the database on my startup drive to kick the tires (production media and proxy media folders and associated bundles). I then moved these folders and bundles to an external drive and updated the devices in admin preferences panel. Everything seems to work fine except for the thumbnail showing up. I also noticed that the 'resources' tab of the 'get info' panel doesn't show any path for the primary representation 'library' device. (see image below) Is this a problem?

The assets do load correctly. It turned out to be a custom metadata group issue. I recreated my custom metadata group and made sure "Show Thumbnail:" was checked. It had been checked in the previous one, but somehow jiggling the handle made it display properly.
Also, there is no path shown for the primary representation "library" device because I'm saving everything to the base level with no folder structures (I warned you I was a newbie).
Everything is working as expected. Thanks for your help!

"Get Info" stopped working for external drives

MacPro Early 2008
OS X 10.9.2
4 x Internal HD
4 x External HD
For some weird reason my external disks have suddenly stopped responding to ‘Get Info’. The four internal HD’s display Info fine but the four external disks do not. They did until a few days ago. There has been no physical change to my machine in that time. There has been no update or change to software in that time.
The problem occurs regardless of whether I Ctrl Click and use the context menu, whether I use the Info button on the finder menu bar or whether I use Cmd I keyboard shortcut.
The four external disks display properly in finder and all other functions seems fine.
There is no ‘hang’, no spinning beach ball, just quite simply nothing happens.
All four disks pass “Verify”.
I have checked and repaired permissions on the system disk.
If I sign in as guest the problem disappears - it would seem therefore to lie in my configuration.
I have tried the following:
Re-launch finder using Alt-Cmd-Esc.
Deleted Finder’s plist and restarted to create default settings.
Removed all items from Users & Accounts > Login Items.
Backed up and removed all files from User/Library/LaunchAgents
Backed up and removed all files from /Library/LaunchAgents
Backed up and removed all files from /Library/LaunchDaemons
Checked /Library/StartupItems which is empty.
All to no avail …………..
I have not touched any launch or startup directories from /System/Library/
Any suggestions where else I might look?
David Macdonald

No new software has been installed or updated in the immediate time frame of the problem appearing. Except one Apple OS X auto update.
The problem persists in Safe Mode. I first booted into safe mode with just keyboard and mouse connected and then tried adding in the drives one by one. Each one shows the same symptoms.
I then tried plugging in other external drives - another HD and a pendrive. They work fine. The problem seems confined to just the four drives that are permanently connected.
I then backed up one of the drives and erased and re-formatted it. Problem solved works fine. Remaining three same old problem no "Get Info".
So to sum up.
The problem exists in even safe mode for my four permanently connected drives.
The problem does not exist for any other external drives.
The problem is cured by re-formatting the drive.
From this I would supect that something has zapped the integrity of the drives themselves .... except ..... the problem does not exist when logged in as guest.
So, unless anyone can draw some clever conclusions from the above, it would seem to me I have three options:
1) Back up my external HD's and re-format them then restore from backup. See if the problem returns later and if I can identify what triggered it. Although it involves several terrabytes of backup and restore it can at least go on in the background and overnight and needn't take up too much of my time and I don't lose my machine.
2) Start a fresh user acount in which the problem does not occur and restore my system from time machine. The risk of course is that this may re-install the problem. Advantage is once again this can go on unattended but I lose my machine for half a day.
3) Start a fesh user account and re-install my system app by app and see if and where the problem returns. This seems like less work and more reliable than unistalling and re-installing and will start me off with a relatively clean new system. But it's a LOT of time and work.
Hmmmmmm .......

SET/GET Parameter not working? pls hlp

hi i am using a transaction variant on transaction LT01 - create transfer order. using the transaction variant i have greyed out 3 fields on the initial screen. for the greyed out fields i am passing the values using a SET PARAMETER. This is working fine for 2 fields but it does not work for the third field. any idea where i am going wrong?? the first field is warehouse number which is working fine. the second field is movement type and the third field is storage location. the first 2 works fine and the data gets populated in the greyed out field but the storage location field does not work. The field has a parameter id. pls help its urgent.
promise will reward points if its resolved

Hi american,
1. but the storage location field does not work.
In such cases, we have to follow another approach.
(CALL TRANSACTION USING BDCDATA
2. Just copy paste in new program.
(it will populate the STORAGE LOCATION field)
3.
report abc.
data : bd like table of bdcdata with header line.
bd-program = 'SAPML03T'.
bd-dynPRO = '0101'.
bd-dynbegin = 'X'.
append bd.
CLEAR BD.
bd-fnam = 'LTAK-BWLVS'.
bd-fval = 'AAA'.
append bd.
bd-fnam = 'LTAK-LGNUM'.
bd-fval = '015'.
append bd.
STORAGE LOCATION
bd-fnam = 'LTAP-WERKS'.
bd-fval = 'AAA'.
append bd.
CALL TRANSACTION 'LT01'
USING BD.

amit m.

Java downloading function FtpClien.get() do not work in Solaris 10

Specifically this function "TelnetInputStream in = ftpClient.get(remotefilename)" does not work. It stucks there forever enven without giving an exception. Does anyone know this problem?
Thanks
P.S. I still can use the java function "ftpclient.put()".

"Get Info" not appearing in ARD 3.1

Hi all.
Ctrl-clicking on a managed computer and selecting Get Info results in... absolutely nothing. No Info window appears. Nothing happens. From the menubar, File>Get Info, or Command-I result in the exact same nothing.
The only way for me to edit computers is to remove them from the "All Computers" list, and then add them back from the Scanner.
It used to work fine. I've tried a re-install and preference trashing. Any one got any ideas?
Thanks, Ben

How did you re-install? Doing a simple reinstall will just replace missing components. You may need to manually uninstall and reinstall.

Get Info Not Saving

When I "get info" and change what I want to, it doesn't save! Any help would be much appreciated. I've successfully done this before. I recently moved and reformatted my computer, so in the process I had to re download Itunes and upload all of my files again.

I'm also unable to get album artwork that I previously was able to get. (I know sometimes the itunes store can't find the artwork and you have to find it yourself). Fwaaa! I'm so picky about being organized this is driving me crazy!
