One File (But Only 1) shows as an icon in List View of a Finder Window

Finder windows has one inconsistency, but only for this one file, which is a JPG photo. In list view with the option to not show thumbnails (under Command J) Then I get generic JPG badges for each file. If I select: "Show as Icon" then I get a small photo icon for each photo. So far, so good. The problem is with one individual photo file. It always shows as a photo icon, regardless of how I set the checkbox for Show as Icon within a finder Window by sing Command J. So the problem seems to be with that individual file by itself. Using Command I for Show Information on the individual files does not give me any options or clues about how to control the presentation of the icon on its individual files.
Looking at the same image but with different file names or paths, then everything is normal and as it should be. The simple answer is simply erase the "goofy" file and replace it with a new version, but I want to understand what the OS is doing. The same issue with the same file was under OSX 3 and 4. I have 10.6 Snow Leopard now, but the issues was there with Tiger and so on.
An ideas?

It always shows as a photo icon
It sounds as if the file has its own custom icon, which is different from the "icon preview" that the system constructs on the fly when a custom icon is not present and you have also checked the "show icon preview" box in View Options. If you want to remove a custom icon, do a Get Info on the file, click on the icon at the top left to select it, and hit command-X.

    Do you mean from folders, albums, or projects?
    How do you access your Aperure images from other applications? Do you show Aperture in the Media Brower?
    Then you need to ensure that Aperture renders previews for all  images you want to access externally. Check your settings in the Aperture Preferences -> Previews and enable "Share Previews ..." and "New Projects automatically generate Previews". If reviews are missing for older imports select the images, ctrl click and "Update Preview".

    I need to edit out parts of a song to cut it down to two minutes for my daughter's talent show. I went to info/start time and it will cut down one part but only one part. I need to put three parts together. I tried adding duplicates of the song to the list but if If I change the start time on one it will change it on all of them.

    In your library, right-click the song you want to edit.
    select "get info".
    go to "options" and select the start and stop times for your first section of the song.
    click "OK".
    Find the shortened version of the song in your library. It may take a minute for it to show up. right click it again and select "create (????) version". (the ???? is different for different formats).
    The library will spit out a new, second version of the song which you can rename. I suggest you use the original title and add a 1 to the end.
    Now you can go back to the other version and repeat the process with a different  start/stop time.
    Once you are done editing, you can burn all of your versions to a disk, just make sure your interval time is zero so there are no gaps between edits.
    To keep the orginal song on your library, just go back to the original and put the start/stop times back to the original settings.

    How do I clean up mail in my icloud?  I have already deleted old mail (from all my e-mail accounts) on all devices, and emptied the junk & deleted files, but it still shows that I am at max on my icloud. What do I do to free up space? (photos & apps do not take up that much room).  When I go to manage storage on any device & it will display how much room each program or app is using, it still shows that my e-mail is taking up the most room.  Is there a way to actually log on to the icloud server to manage what it stored there?  If so, how do I do it?  Also, on a related subject,  why does my mail not sync accross all devices?   ie. when I delete an email on one device, why do I still see it on all my other devices?  How can I change this?
    I have an iphone5, ipad2, ipod 4th gen, ipod 3rd gen, all running on my same apple id - but I have a PC not a Mac home computer - is this part of the problem?  Looking to upgrade to a Mac sometime this year...
    Thank-you for the help!

    Mail is backed up automatically. If you make backups automatically, open Mail application and then, open the Time Machine app (in /Applications/Utilities). You will access to the Time Machine interface, and you will be able to see all your mails of all the backups you have, and you will be able to restore them. It means that your mails are backed up onto the Time Capsule

    Ditto on Clinton's suggestion using OmniDiskSweeper.  It is an excellent tool.
    It may seem elementary, but do empty Trash.  Only then do you gain storage space.

  • HT5070 I purchased an entire season of a TV show, but only 6 out of 7 episodes are listed

    I purchased an entire season of a TV show, but only six out of 7 episodes are listed in my library.  When I return to the store, episodes 1-6 are noted as available to download, and episode 7 is listed as available to buy for 2.99.  When I select buy, the store returns the message that I have already purchased that episode.  That is true, so why is it not listed in the cloud as available to download, and/or available to view on my Apple TV list for Season 1?

    Hello CBWnc,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    If the emailed receipt shows you purchased a season of shows with Complete My Season but one of the episodes is problematic.
    I would try signing out of the iTunes store from the Store menu in iTunes, then restart the computer and sign back in.
    To sign in to or out of the iTunes Store:
    In iTunes, choose Store > Sign In (or Sign Out).

    How do you manage your iPod? Do you Sync your entire music library, or only selected playlists?

  • Problem with showing mp3 album art in list view.

    Hello.
    I have litle problem with showing mp3 album artwork in list view.
    In SNOW LEOPARD all work fine, and all mp3 files have album art's preview in list mode in finder.
    But in LION i have only default preview mp3 icon.
    Option "Show icon preview" is already on!

    I have the fix!!!!
    I have had the same issue ever since Lion. Its been very painful not having album art preview in finder or the play button when rollover the file for so many versions of OSX. Today I worked hard in trying to solve the problem since Applecare support hasn't helped much, all they did was tell me to bring the computer in. The other main reason I got so motivated to try and fix this is because the DJ app for Mac only reads album art from the finder even if iTunes can display the album art. The other reason that got me curious is that my friends macbook pro album art worked fine, so I cross checked with his computer until I figured out a few things that helped and ultimately fixed the issue. FINALLY!
    My set up:
    - I have my full iTunes library folder on my external as I have over 700GB of music.
    - It includes all my database files in there, which is very important as I have many playlist settings from over 7 years of iTunes activity.
    SOLUTION:
    1. With every new computer I have purchased, I use to just pressed option on Mac and press iTunes to locate my folder (which I have said is located on my external drive).
    2. I tried today to press option again BUT locate and selected the default library in the user/music folder of my internal drive (standard setting from Apple).
    3. Miraculously, all the album art appeared in both my external drive library and also today's downloaded songs on my Macbook pro. Ofcourse with the new default location I don't have any songs or data.
    4. So I tried to find a way to keep this library data on my internal drive since it can help the finder display all my files properly, yes even have the play on rollover button but as well link it back to my external drive with all my 700GB songs.
    5. I then went into iTunes Preferences/Advance tab and in iTunes Media folder locationredirected the location to my external drive iTunes/ iTunes Media folder. If it asks to collate data, press NO.
    6. Then I quit iTunes.
    7. Next I copied the 4 files to my desktop from my external drive as I want to keep the data I have made with all my playlists etc. The four files are iTunes Library Extras.itdb ,iTunes Library Genius.itdb , iTunes Library.itl , iTunes Library.xml
    8. I then went to my internal drive User/Music/Itunes/ and dragged these 4 files I copied from my external drive into here and making sure to REPLACE the four existing files already there.
    9. Next open iTunes and you will find all your presettings appear with all your music linked to your external. What this does is keep the important library files on your internal drive (that somehow makes your finder files album art appear), BUT to read also all the music mp3 files located in the external drive (action from step 5)
    Presto!! All your music files whether on internal drive or external all the album art has appeared.
    Hope this helps!! Let me know if there are any other questions.
    I am on 10.8.1 running retina macbook pro.

  • Why won't my files open? My recent ones will, but only those

    My old garage band files wont open on garage band. When I open the application, I can open the most recently used projects, but the old ones are unclickable when i try to open them.

    When I open the application, I can open the most recently used projects, but the old ones are unclickable when i try to open them.
    Can you explain what you mean by 'unclickable'?
    When you open the GarageBand, you will see only the most recent projects. Have you tried to double click your old projects in a finder window and they do not open? Is that what you are saying? Are there any error messages?
    Were your older projects created with a previous version of GarageBand?

  • Acrobat X Pro will load one file, but crashes when loading a second file

    This problem has existed since upgrading from Master Suite CS5.5 to Master Suite CS6.
    It will open a new file, but not a second, any attempt to do so causes it to crash.  Hence, requires it to be exited and restarted and only then will open the desired file.  This occurs with either PDF files loaded on a drive or viewed in Internet Explorer. 
    In addition to the latter, when converting a file from Internet Explorer  (i.e. for printing) it will convert the first attempt, but not any ensuing ones and again requires Internet Explorer to be shut down and restarted.
    Again, none of these issues existed prior to installing CS6. 
    Does anyone else have this problem?
    Cheers,
    Michael

    Bill
    The version is 10.1.4.  Also, I've run the repair, as well uninstalled and reinstalled it to no avail. 
    The operating system is Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. 
    This computer is build for video editing and has 24 Gb of ram and an i7 Extreme 990X processor...

  • Downloaded a video, have the file, but doesn't show as purchased.

    I downloaded a Desperate Housewives episode the other day. My account says I purchased it, but it doesn't show up in my itunes list as purchased. I have a 200M file, but it doesn't have any of the show information with it and it won't play. I just get 43 minutes of gray screen with no audio. I have the most recent version of Quicktime and all the other episodes I've downloaded have worked. (except one other that did the same thing and they had to reset something so I could download it again.) I've been charged for something I can't watch and when I sent a note to the same address that fixed it last time, they said they don't handle technical issues. Has anyone else seen this OR does anyone have the link to send an E-mail to technical support. Apple's webpage is a nightmare when it come to actually getting a human being to help you.

    Use the links in the iTunes Music Store itself to tell them of the problem. Or the links under the help menu of iTunes.

  • SSIS FTP - upload files but only partial

    Dear reader,
    I need some help with the FTP in SSIS package. Its about uploading files to an FTP server (sending files).
    First, I store the .csv locally my drive. Then the file-location is stored in a variable and the variable is being called by the FTP connection manager.
    Now, the file has a size of about 27KB. However when uploading the file to the FTP server it only uploads a part of the file around 6KB. Why? When I copy manually the file to the FTP server then it works fine, but via the SSIS it does not work. (Even though
    with a sleep of about 5 seconds, in case of read-write access is does not work).
    Does anybody have a clue why I can not upload the file completely?
    Best regards.

    Hi Montinio,
    The behavior is rather odd. Do you encounter any error message when executing the package? If there are any errors, please post them. You can also execute the package in Command Prompt through DTExec utility, and specify “/Rep V” parameter in the command
    line to check the verbose log information.
    If no error message is received, I suggest that you perform the following tests to narrow down the cause:
    Try to open the 6KB CSV file uploaded by the package to see if you can view some valid rows.
    Reduce or increase the data volume in the source CSV file, and check whether the size of file uploaded to the FTP server is changed.
    Check the issue with other types of file other than CSV.
    Use hard code path for the source file and check the issue again.
    If possible, test the issue on a different server that has either BIDS/SSDT or SSIS installed.
