Info window disappeared

The iCal info window that appears as a sidebar when you select or create an event has disappeared. If I click on the info icon on the bottom right side of an iCal window, a new window opens with all the info. I want the sidebar back. How do I get it. I use iCal 2.0.2. Many thanks.

Many thanks, John, but the "attach info" is already selected and the only option is "detach info." If I pull down the View menu and select "Show info," the info opens in a new window instead of the attached sidebar I used to have.

Reminder info window disappears while editing

I'm having a problem when editing a reminder - the edit/info window disappears while I'm trying to change the details, for example adding a due date.
Is there a fix/workaround for this? It's really frustrating and means I can currently only edit these things on my iPhone/iPad.

Another thing I've found out is that if I bring up the "Info" window and then move it away from the main iTunes window, the Info window acts like it's behind the main iTunes window. That's why it disappears. So, I can make it stick up above the main window, but it's still behind it. I've uninstalled and re-installed iTunes several times and I'm still having this problem. I've looked through the settings as well and have not found anything to correct this problem.
Any ideas?

Show File Info window disappearing

I am trying to access a Pages document in a file sharing arrangement, but Pages won't allow me to access it. I checked permissions on the Pages document and need to add permissions, but the Show File Info window closes before I can do anything to change permissions.

Eversave.app was the problem. It apparently was causing the issue - closed the app, problem disappeared.

J,
Not to dodge the issue, but you are having an OS problem, not a Pages problem. If nobody comes along here with an explanation, you might do well to post in the Snow Leopard discussion area, assuming your profile is correct.

ICal week view window is gone. When selected the window disappears.

Whenever I click on view->week view (or just the "week" button on the bottom row) my ical window disappears. No idea where it is going. If I click on view->day/month the window comes back. However, after it comes back in day or month view, the info sidebar (and button at the bottom to control it, along with the todo and results list buttons beside it) now isn't there.
Any ideas how to fix this? I think it happened when I plugged my laptop into a 1024x768 projector and then changed my mind quickly and unplugged it, but it has been like this for a couple of weeks now through several reboots etc.
This is a macbook pro running tiger.
Thanks,
Bruce

Bruce,
Often iCal display anomalies can be rectified by refreshing the iCal plist file.
Quit iCal, and drag the com.apple.iCal.plist file which is located in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder to the Desktop. Then log out/in or restart and check iCal for desired behavior.

Where is the info window on itunes 11.1.3

Hello,
I am looking for the info windows on Itunes.
I dowloaded the new maverick and it disappeared.
Someone could help me as I do not succeed in synchronizing my contacts with my iphone 4S iOS7
Many thanks in advance

Did you connect your device and click on its name in the tap right hand corner?
Are you using iOS 10.9?

Upgrade to itunes 8.1 now I cant get rid of the info window

I just upgraded this morning and have 8.1 I too wish I had never bothered. WHen I click on the info icon the info window will not disappear. I have to close and reboot the software to get rid. That's all so far but looking at the discussions I may find many more problems. As another person said are we joining Microsoft? I have never had a problem with apple or itunes in my years of using your software. Support is extremely difficult to find.
What do I do down load the previous software will this be a simple option I do not want to lose any of my music or set up?

I just had help from another thread. Go to System - change resolution for display. re-open and the podcast description window has a close button yeah. You can then go back and put the resolution back to where it was an so far all is well.
Not good business to give us a bug along with an upgrade

After mirroring, application window disappears

My application window disappears after I shut down the LCD. For example, Safari is open with one window showing and when I turn off mirroring, the open window is gone. The application shows there is a window open, or 2 or 3, but even with Bring All to Front or Gather All Windows, the windows do not show up on my screen. Before mirroring, the resolution is 1680 x 1050 and during mirroring, it is either at 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768.
Thanks in advance.

Hi dogwood23
Try switching your setup back to Extended Desktop (mirroring off) and drag the Safari window back to the iMac display.
To answer your second question, have a look at the Resolution section of the following article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303086
The part about +"When the computer is mirroring video, it tries to synchronize the resolution of the built-in and external displays. If they can't be matched, the computer will change the resolution of both screens to the highest common resolution"+ say's it all.
I always keep my 17" iMac and 27" flatscreen TV setup in Extended Desktop! That way I control the resolution of each display and the location of all windows!

ICal Get Info window is not showing up

I installed Leopard today (did an archive and install). All applications seem to be working fine except for one issue with iCal.
I cannot bring up the new "Get Info" window for any events. When I do "Get Info" on an event, the iCal window becomes inactive as if a new window is coming up, but the new window never shows up. Is anyone else seeing the same issue?
Strangely enough, if I do Expose or Spaces then the Get Info window becomes visible. As soon as I come out of Expose or Spaces then it disappears again! Is there any way to troubleshoot this issue or is this a software bug?
Thanks,
Sangjin

Sangjin,
Since I do not yet have Leopard, I will speculate about solving your problem.
Very often Tiger ICal display anomalies can be rectified by refreshing your iCal plist file and it should also apply to the Leopard version. This can be accomplished by quitting iCal and dragging the com.apple.iCal.plist file which is located in your Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences Folder to the Desktop. Then log out/in or restart and check iCal for normal behavior. You can delete the iCal plist file on your Desktop if iCal returns to normal behavior.
Let us know what happens.

Can you see a image in the Get Info Window?

After upgrading to Mt LIon and while using CS6, I can't see image previews in the Get Info window. Can't see images in the upper left corner of the get info window, so I can't make a selection and then do a copy- paste like I could do before I upgraded to Mt Lion with CS6. I want to be able to paste a image of the subjects in my folders.. IE folder of Panda Bears would have a image of a Panda showing on that folder. Folder of The Great Wall would have a image of the Great Wall on the Folder of Great Wall pictures. This has always worked for the past many years I have used a Mac and Photoshop. I started with Photoshop 2. All my photo folders are represented by images so I have a good idea of what is contained in each folder. Now after 2 weeks in China, 20 folders are represented by 10-11-12, 10-12-12, 10-13-12, 10-14-12 and so on. Shows me nothing but dates. I have tried saving as Jpeg, Tiff, and PAD, and still can't do a copy-paste in the Get Info window. Apple says it is a Adobe problem, Yesterday Adobe told me it is because I am uusing a Nikon D800 and Adobe does not have a patcdh for the NEW Nikon camera. I then tried using my Nikon D2Xs, Nikon D3X, Nikon 800 and even my wife's D50 and none of these camera allow me to copy paste the thumbnail image to the clipoboard like I have been able to do for YEARS... I can see images in a folder in Bridge, but the images dont show in my desktop folders.IE, a folder on my desktop with 200 pictures only show with words/ numbers/letters NO IMAGES appear in the folders on the desktop. On some folders the folders in a folder don't show up as Folders either.
Can Any one help me. Same thing happens on my MACPRO w 16 GB Ram and on my 17" MacBook Pro.

Thanks for your input. Problem might be with the EASTER BUNNY..... have to have someone to blame.
I can't blame you for saying that.
Adobe is the clear owner of the responsibility to make functional their product that they claim is compatible with your operating system. Adobe is the one who sold you the product.
I just went looking for what Adobe has said about Mountain Lion compatibility, and they both list Mountain Lion as compatible and include such language as that on this page (emphasis mine):
Adobe and Apple have worked closely together to test Adobe® Creative Suite® 5, 5.5 and CS6 editions and individual products for reliability, performance and user experience when installed on Intel® based systems running Mac OS X Mountain Lion (v10.8). Earlier versions of Adobe Photoshop® (CS3 and CS4) software were also tested with Mountain Lion and there are currently no known issues.
I suggest that Adobe needs to get on the ball and get this fixed. The time for user patience is over.
If someone from Adobe is saying "Adobe can't fix it" then that someone is at the wrong authority level and/or is thinking on the wrong level.
This is business and the business is making products that have value and are sold to people who perceive that value. Adobe doesn't get to keep selling products that don't work while standing on principles that "it's someone else's problem". Customers don't care why it doesn't work.
It's obvious to a child that if Photoshop CS5 can write the proper things to the Apple OS so that the thumbnails are visible, that there's something Adobe could do to fix it.
But EVEN IF this were something only Apple could fix, that Apple hasn't fixed it yet says pretty loudly that Adobe isn't making the right overtures to Apple for their mutual benefit. Adobe, are your executives so greedy that they can't grease a few palms of their friends over at Apple to put some priority on this? What's the problem here? Has Adobe actually forgotten how to do business?
-Noel
P.S., You should know that I don't use a Mac and am personally having no issues with seeing proper thumbnails and previews on my Windows 7 and 8 systems, since the software that does that isn't from Adobe.

The latest version of Pages does not allow a Pages document to become a 'stationery pad'! Is there a way to do this this other than through the 'Get Info' window?

The latest version of Mavericks does not allow a Pages document to become a 'stationery pad'! Is there a way to do this this other than through the 'Get Info' window? As Pages templates cannot be ordered in folders, my many templates are effectively unusable now and I need to find another way to order and access them.

Are you aware of that you can still use Pages 09 on Mavericks? You don't have to go thru the grieves of using the crippled Pages 5. Pages 09 should bi in Applications/iWork 09 folder.

Safari 3.0.4 on OS 10.5.1 not crashing but browser windows DISAPPEAR! Help!

I know there is a thread in the beta forum with a generic title "Safari acting strange" but I figured a more specific thread title might get more attention from those experiencing the same anomalies.
Here is my problem:
I'm using Safari 3.0.4 that came with the Leopard 10.5 disk I installed on my laptop. Safari was working fine for a good couple weeks and then suddenly it began acting strange indeed.
Now after an undetermined amount of time when I have a Safari browser window(s)/tab(s) open it will suddenly disappear off my screen without provocation (meaning I don't have to perform any action to do this. I can be sitting there not touching the laptop or typing anything; it will just disappear as if some unseen person with a remote control hits the Let's-mess-with-this-guy's-computer button). At first glance it seems that Safari has crashed.
However when I look to see what happened or perhaps relaunch I see that Safari is still up and running. The menu bars all work. It seems to be in perfect working order. Only problem is the browser windows have disappeared and nothing I do will bring them back. I can try to create new browser windows and Safar thinks it is creating them because I can check in Windows menu and see the fruits of my efforts stacking up more and more as I add new windows and tabs in an attempt to get the browser windows back. However where these windows live is a mystery to me. When I try to quit Safari I get an Alert message asking me if I really want to close the windows with the multiple tabs in them (further supporting the theory that Safari still thinks windows are open and seeable by me)
When I DO quit Safari and relaunch it, it remains in the same state. No browser window is seen yet looking in the Windows menu I can see that a new browser window is present. The only way to use my Safari again is to reboot my computer. Of course this fixes the problem for maybe 5 minutes until the browser windows disappear again. And that's when I switch to Firefox.
I've repaired permissions. I've checked for any Input Managers folder for culprits but seeing as this is a fairly new laptop and that I just did an Archive and Install of Leopard with a fresh Safari in toe I have not installed any 3rd party applications so no Input Managers folder exists anywhere on my laptop.
I have the standard Safari Plug-Ins that come with Quicktime.
I have Spaces turned off. I am not using dual monitors so the browser windows are not being shot off to a second screen somewhere.
I see nothing in the crashlog because I actually don't think Safari is treating this behavior as a crash. It's not quitting unexpectedly or anything.
So I am at a total loss. Any ideas?

I had this problem as well.
First: In Safari go into preferences and select the "security" tab. Uncheck "Enable Plug-ins"
This fixed a lot of bugs for me !
Second: If that worked than you just need to go to Hard Drive/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
There should be a folder there that is called "Disabled Plug-Ins" I just put all of the plug-ins in that folder, went back and rechecked " Enable Plug-Ins" in Safari preferences, and then one by one added plug-ins back out of the disabled folder while reloading a web page that caused problems before. After some trial & error I think I have a setup that works for now. Hope this helps!! Also as of now I have installed all software updates. My mac has been doing this for a while. Logging out & back in reset safari back to where it was useable.
I have not had problems with any other programs.

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.

Month View makes window disappear

HI I am wondering about this - I was using iCal and it was working fine, then I cam back to the computer later, and the calendar had disappeared. I quit restarted, repaired permissions, all to no avail.
What I am finding is that I can see my calendars in Day and Week view, but if I change to month view the window disappears. It also does thew same if I press cmd+3.
I only use it on one computer, am not syncing to anything. The only that may have been strange was that I was connected to an LC Projector when i was using it, then I disconnected while it was still open. Afterward it doesn't seem to work. But I have also reset the displays to detect that there is not a second monitor, etc.
I am using a Powerbook G4 17", 1.67GHz, running 10.4.8, and iCal 2.0.4
I also can't seem to find an updater.
And just to try - how does one reset iCal to begin with, and not lose all calendars - I've been using it for about 3.5 years (and have the next 8 months scheduled out on it) and haven't had trouble until now, and don't want to lose everything.

Hi,
The window positions are kept in your preferences.
Quit iCal and try moving the com.apple.iCal.plist file in User>Library>Preferences to your Desktop, then re-start iCal. The preference file will be re-created with the default settings, this will not affect the contents of your calendars.
best wishes
John M
