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?

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?
Michael Green

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" ?

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" 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.

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

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 ... +

Get Info on .mov file resolution information is missing

Hi - I have captured some video on my Imac with the built in Isight camera it shoes the dimensions 640* 40 and the codec whn I get get info - however when I do the same on my macbook (white) I do not get any more of the same information just last time the file was accessed. Is this to do with the built in isight differences or a config setting ?

"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.

Finder Get Info on music file shows comma in Year Recorded

Has anyone else seen this?
If you Get Info on a music file in the Finder I'll see the Year Recorded as "Year Recorded: 2,009" or whatever year. Does anyone have any idea why?
10.5.8
iTunes 9

I see the same thing. seems to be a minor bug. you can submit a bug report if you wish but since this bug is not present in snow leopard it is extremely unlikely that anything will be done about it.

"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

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.
Slarti

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.

Hi everyone

their any batch software for win\linux that can prepare xml file
with movie length and jpg\gif image capture of one of the frames
(if i can set to to frame 20 and not 1 as dafualt) out of flv file.

which we recorded and got them on flv, and need the data for the
catalog.

FLVMDI will create the XML file for you (it will have
additional nodes, but it will have the info you need). FFMPEG will
extract the images for you.
I'm not sure if either of those programs do batch
runs.

ITunes crashes every time I click on 'Get Info' for a file.

How do I fix it? Could there be some kind of index or something else that needs to be rebuilt. I have a very large library with 14000 songs and a few movies. I'm running iTunes version 10.1.6 (7). Thanks.

I was able to fix this freezing in movies issue by going to file-add to library then selecting all my movies from the movies folder inside iTunes Music folder and letting iTunes 'add them' It took some time to complete (maybe 20 minutes) but it is working well now and not freezing.

File - Get info and Renaming a file

Get Info on a file.
In the Name and Extension box, rename it to something already in the same location.
Click the close window dot.
A window pops up telling you that the file name is already used (or somethign similar). Close the window and the Get Info window is also closed.
Should't the Get Window stay open since a change was attempted but didn't happen?

No?
