Missing file sizes  in finder window

I can’t seem to find how to get OSX to display all file and folder sizes in the size column of my finder windows. I’ve tried using the show view options (command-J) and this seems to work for all except folders and Keynote files. Does anyone know how to fix this, especially for Keynote files?

No, there is no checkbox labeled as such. If I choose the "calculate all sizes" checkbox, all of the values come up now. However, if I also choose the "all windows" checkbox, it seems as though this change only works for the current window since if I open up another folder on my drive, I'm back to square one with missing file/folder sizes. Any way to make this change universal throughout the system?

  • How can I display file size in Finder

    Hi folks,
    I am trying to figure out where 40GB of data is hiding. I would like to see file sizes in the Finder window associated with my folders in Mountain Lion 10.8.2..  I'm having, what seems to me, a strange problem. When I 'Get Info' on my Hard Drive, the disc space left is only 40GB out of 120GB (ie used being 80GB). My confusion is that when I painstakingly go through the files, I can only account for 48 GB with 'Get Info' on each folder. This is a rather combersome process and I am hoping there is a work around for viewing the file sizes within Finder and not having to open 'Get Info' on each and every folder like I have been.
    I have a MacAir 13 inch 2011
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your time and suggestions, dominic23.
    I looked through both links and sadly, none of these suggestions have worked. I have tried many on my own since posting trying to figure out why the volume is being doubled on my hard drive. I've deleted log files, and done a sweep with Onyx to no avail. Strangely, the option of seeing the volumes under 'About this Mac' and 'System' does not have a listing for storage. Weird. I am the only user/administrator on this computer and I don't have shared files.
    I'm just stumped.

  • Thumbnail images for file icons in finder windows

    Is there are way to automatically create thumbnails for images imported into iPhoto that will also appear in finder windows? When I save images in Photoshop, a thumbnail of the image is created and appears as the icon image of the file. However, when I import images from my camera or another storage device into iPhoto, only the generic JPEG icon appears in the finder window.
    Is there a shortcut to create thumbnails of image files that will appear in finder windows? Is there a way to batch create these thubmnails?

    In any Finder window go View Menu -> Show View Options -> Show Icon Preview.
    Are you using this to try and find pics in the Finder? If so, it might help to know that there are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
    1. Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size.
    3. Show File: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

    Did you reinstall CS3 after CC?
    For that matter, doing an in-place upgrade on the OS is always a gamble with Adobe programs. Reinstalling all the versions you need, in order, would probably solve your problem.
    And you shouldn't need to save as IDML after opening the .inx in CC.

  • Inconsistent and incorrect file icons in finder window list view

    I have been seeing incorrect file icons in finder windows noteably for PDF files the last couple of weeks on my office MacMini running 10.5.8. Some just look messed up. Some switched and looked like Evernote files, but they open correctly in the default application - Preview.
    Get info would show the same incorrect icon, but correctly show Preview as the default application.
    Just now I tried clicking on CoverFlow view and when I went back to List view, the icons looked correct again.
    What type of system maintenance if any is needed to correct this issue? Note, these files continue to display correctly on my home iMac where these files are synced.

    Thanks for the reply Baltwo.
    I followed your directions. After the restart the PDF icons were all displayed correctly.
    However, some .doc file icons were blank. Selected one, got info, set it to open with MSWord and then clicked "apply to all." Most, but not all now display the Word logo. Some remain blank, although get info reveals they are set to open with Word. Will another restart fix this or is there another suggestion?
    I will be away from this computer till Monday.

  • When I change the time zone of the clock, the "Date created" time information for my documents and image files in the Finder window (and in Get Info) is changed. Can I make the time info in "Date created" remain fixed regardless of the clock's timezone?

  • Keeping the Desired Size of Finder Windows

    I want to change the default size for any Finder window while in Cover Flow mode. I successfully set the Cover Flow mode, as well as a few other options about icon size, etc., to cover all new Finder windows. However, I do not see any way to maintain the size of the Finder window to keep me at the same default size. Is there any way I can set this?

  • Icon size in Finder window

    This has gotta be an FAQ, but I can't find it. How does one change the size of icons that appear both in the Sidebar of Finder windows, and in the main part of Finder windows? I found how to change icon size for Desktop icons, but I want to change the size of icons within Finder windows.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    thanks for the star too!
    I'm afraid I don't understand what didn't work... Mmmm...
    What I tested on my own computer (I also run 10.4.8) was that
    1/ I opened my home folder
    2/ my files are in "Icon view"
    3/ I went to the pull down menu at the top of the computer and chose View
    4/ I selected Show View Options (or Apple + J)
    5/ A window opened that allowed me to change the size of the icons in that window and also gave the possibility to change the size in all windows.
    I'm sorry if I was not clear before.
    Francine gave you the best option anyway. Thanks again!

  • Viewing File Size in Finder

    Is it possible to include file size as one of the columns in any of the finder views?
    I've created a smart search for files above a specific size, but would like to view the actual size in the Finder window. Was easy to add additional attribute columns in Windows Explorer, by just right-clicking.
    Thanks

  • Increasing icon size in finder window

    In Snow Leopard I was able to increase the size of icons in any finder window by pinching out. I seem to have lost that ability after upgrading to Lion. This was a great feature, especailly for folders with photos in them. Does anyone know how to bring this back?

  • File size in finder

    When I open a folder, I can see the size of the files in the folder.
    However. When I search for a file in FINDER, it does not show the size of the file. And I can find no option to make it show the size of the file.
    I would like to see the size of the file when I search for a file in FINDER.
    Is this possible?

    +I click on FINDER.+
    You are clicking on the word "Finder" in the upper left corner of the menu bar?
    +It opens. I type in a file name I am searching for. For example "final grades".+
    What opens? Finder is always active. If I click on Finder as above, the only thing that opens is a pop-up window with options such as Preferences.
    The only other way I know of to "open" Finder is to click on the Finder icon in the dock. Would that be what you mean? If so, you are simply opening a Finder window and using the search box - in turn, that means you are searching in a Finder window and there is no option to show file size in the results.

  • Why do file sizes change between Windows to Mac drive?

    I'm moving a large number of files from a 3TB Windows NTFS external drive to a 3TB Mac OS Extended Journaled external drive.
    Now, comparing the original file to the copy, I'm finding that the file sizes in the Get-Info window are different on many of the files.  (I would say the majority of them.)
    Did something go wrong and do I now have corrupted data across thousands of files?  Or does a NTFS drive calculate size differently as a Mac-formatted drive, even though the files are identical?

    Does it happen on all kind of files, or just txt files?
    Usually, it comes from the fact that Unix (from which OS X closely derives) and Windows don't have the same way of "recording" changing lines in txt files: in DOS and Windows, going to the next line, whether manually when typing or because you imported a txt file made by someone else (or another machine) means using a "carriage return" (yeah, I know, sounds old), where Unix uses a "line feed". 
    A carriage return will first send the carret back to the beginning of the last line you typed in, before switching to the next line so you can resume typing, whereas a line feed will jump to the next line directly. This leads to some invisible extra characters being typed, and since each digit or key press brings its own byte or octet in the balance, your files might end up being heavier under one platform than they were in another.
    The Notepad application in Windows is known for its poor text wrapping (which it makes up for by being a good tool for coding, for the same reason), with the user/writer needing to feed its own carriage returns in the text, when Wordpad is more user-friendly, with better text wrapping, but doesn't show the same flexibility that Notepad has.
    The same principle applies to all txt-based files, hence to .log files too. And log files tend to be created by applications for this purpose or that, without you knowing it.
