Show File Info window disappears before I can change permissions on it.

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 and need to add permissions, but the Show File Info window closes before I can do anything to change permissions.

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.

  • 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.

  • When I try to upload a file to my online student account or to my Facebook account the upload window disappears before I can add anything.

    I use Firefox browser. I have also emptied my Firefox's cache a few times; however, I still have the same problem. My Firefox has also crashed on me two or three times, as well.

    Hello,
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • HT5361 I receive email and it shows on the list for a moment but disappears before I can open it.  I tried the search feature without luck

    What is making my email show for a second and then disappear before I can open it? This is creating a problem. They aren't going to junk mail either. They are disappearing on iCloud and my iPad and my iMac.

    Care to share which OS version you are using since you posted in the ML forums?

  • Bridge does not shows file info, just thumbnails, what's going on? already adjusted in preferences, but still only thumbnails and not the info of the file

    Bridge 8.5 does not shows file info, already adjusted in preferences but still just showing thumbnails only.
    Can anyone please help?
    Thanks

    The single download means that you won't be able to redownload it from the store without paying, either on a computer's iTunes or an iOS device - it doesn't stop you from copying the audiobook to your other computers or syncing it to your iOS devices, you just can't redownload it. (I believe that they are all supplied to Apple by audible.com, so I assume that it's them requiring the one-time download.)
    You can download audiobooks on your computer's iTunes and sync them to iOS devices, you do not have to buy them directly on the device (if you do then you can copy them back to your computer's iTunes library by connecting the device and using the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option on your computer's iTunes).
    What you are doing to sync them should work i.e.
    - connecting the iPad to your Mac
    - selecting the iPad on your Mac's iTunes
    - selecting its Books tab and selecting the audiobooks that you want to sync to the iPad and syncing/applying that selection.
    You should then get an audiobooks option in the Music app on your iPad. If they aren't appearing there  then do they show in Settings > General > Usage > Music on the device - if you have audiobooks on the iPad then they should be listed there under an 'audiobooks' heading.
    By 'restart the iPad' do you mean a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    You could also try closing its Music app via the iPad's taskbar : Force an app to close in iOS.
    And do a soft-reset and retry syncing.
    I assume that music and other items sync ok ?

  • In 10.8, the file info window's "Kind:" read "Application"/etc. for 64-bit items and "Application (32-bit)"/etc. for 32-bit items. The "(32-bit)" part seems to have been lost in Mavericks. How do I determine if an item is 32 or 64-bit in Mavericks?

    In 10.8, the file info window’s “Kind:” read “Application”/etc. for 64-bit items and “Application (32-bit)”/etc. for 32-bit items.
    The “(32-bit)” part seems to have been lost in Mavericks. How do I determine if an item is 32 or 64-bit in Mavericks?

    1. Launch System Information into its 'report' mode. (A quick way to do this is by holding down the option key while clicking on the Apple menu item, which causes "About this Mac" to change to that.)
    2. From the list on the left, under "Software" click on "Applications." (If you don't see the Applications item, click on "Show more information" from the "File" menu.)
    3. Wait a minute or so for the report to finish.
    4. The last column in the report is "64-bit (Intel)." (You may need to scroll the window to the right to see it.) Click on that heading to sort the list alphabetically. Anything with a "no" is 32 bit.

  • Close File Info Window

    I clicked File.File Info and a window opened that I can only maximize.  Can't close that window and get back to project. Does anyone know how to close the File Info window?

    It doesn't have this cancel button?

  • -opening position of CS1 "File Info" window-

    I have actions in CS1 to open :
    "Levels" window so I can individually adjust & save
    "File info" window so I can individually add text & save 
    The former window I can move & all following windows will open in new position.
    The latter I can move but next image always opens centrally again.
    Any way to make "File info" window open off to one side?
    Thanks in advance.  regards jg

    Probably not. Actions do not store any UI data, this is handled automatically by the program and it will eitehr use the last active position of a palette or the default one. What you see is probably meant to be this way (the info window being in the context of each specific image and thus using default position, the levels palette being a global panel and using the last active). You could at best try your graphics driver's dialog repositioning options ands see if the info window responds to it...

  • Blank File Info window

    I'm using Windows XP and InDesign CS 6. Whenever I go to File>File Info... or if I press AltShiftCtrl+I, I get a useless blank File Info window staring at me. It shows up as a gray page and there are no buttons to click on. I have to hit Escape to get out of it. Please any help would be appreciated on how to solve this issue, which I've been having since InDesign CS5.

  • 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?

  • TS4002 Having upgraded to 10.8 some emails are disappearing before I can read them.

    Having upgraded to 10.8 some emails are disappearing before I can read them.
    They are present for about a second, display as notified, but are not going to junk or Trash.
    The problem doesn't affect all emails and seems to be restricted to some senders.

    What ype of account is this (IMAP / POP)?
    Perhaps it's setup on another system (computer, mobile, etc.) and downloading there, while removing from the server. You may also have email rules moving it automatically or marking as SPAM.
    Changing your password may seem drastic but will ensure your current setup is the only one with access to downloading/archival of the email, and you can then eliminate other possibilities as mentioned above.

  • File info window freezes

    My new computer has Yosemite 10.10.3 and I'm happy to say Elements 6 works with it.  But when I wanted information about a picture something happened that does not seem right.
    I opened the picture and went to File / File Info.  A window opened that asked for information about the picture.  The problem is that as soon as I clicked anywhere int he File Info window it froze.  Nothing happened.  Everything else seemed to continue working but when I clicked on the picture behind the file Info window, it did not come to the front.  I had to close photoshop to get rid of the file info window.  Is this problem common or perhaps I'm doing something wrong?
    Also, sometimes I need to know the date a picture was taken.  I thought there was a way to find that from file information on the computer but I don't remember how.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hello A
    Have you tried creating a new account and see how your apps work in that User acct? (That will tell if your problem is systemwide or limited to your User acct.)
    Open System Preferences > Accounts > "+" make it an admin account.
    If this works, then log back into your problem account and navigate to ~(yourHome)/Library/Preferences and trash these two files:
    com.apple.finder.plist
    com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
    Then log out and back in again. Or restart.
    (You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)
    Let us know.

  • Error message appears and disappears before I can read it?

    I have a message that pops up and disappears before I can get a chance to read it. I figured it may be an issue with an application since MS office 11 is installed and was running at the times also, before a reminder pops up a message appears. I fear there may be a potential issue with the OS or an application.
    Any advice on what I should do?

    I've got the same problem... What did it turn out to be?
    And how to find the "log? I've checked the Activity Monitor, but that's real-time and changes too quickly to check...

  • Finder stopped showing file info

    Running OSX 10.6.8 on iMac. Recently noticed that Finder has stopped showing file info and thumbnails when I click on files in list view with columns. Repairing privileges and restarting has not resolved the problem. I'm able to see file info when I hit command-I, but otherwise, simply clicking on the file name no longer shows the mini preview that's so convenient. How to restore this function in Finder?

    Long shot probably.
    Do a backup.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist.  Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Re-launch Finder by restarting the computer and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the same, return the .plist to where you got it  from, overwriting the newer one.
