Tags, no longer displaying file names and other issues

I upgraded to Mavericks, MacBook Air.
I need help sorting out what is going on with Tags.
I have a screen shot, but uploading it to this post is another problem I have run into with Mavericks.  I click on the camera icon, click on upload file, and then I get a list of greyed out files, and am unable to select any of them.  Very unmac like.
Back to the tag issue.  The tags are listed in the open finder window.  Most of the tags I have created, when selected, will display all the files with that tag, and show the file name or icon.
BUT, one of my tags, which has over a thousand files, will not display the file names.  What is shown are a list of blank icons, and no file names.  The preview for each file still shows as it should when a file is selected, and the file name is listed in the preview.
A picture is worth a thousand words, so I really wish I could have uploaded the screen shot!
In addition, some of the files, e.g. a .pdf file, will show no icon, no file name, no file size, but will open when double clicked and dispaly the file name and a greyed out addition to the file name "-Locked".  Much weirdness.
Tags have not been working well for me.  I have used colours extensively in the past for organization and now it seems to be a huge problem converting to tags.  What a painful transition from Mountain Lion!

With the backup completed, I followed your suggestion:
"Go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key and choose Library. Then go to Preferences folder and trash these files:
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
Then, restart, or log out and in again."
The smart folders disappeared.  The original Tags named by colour are back on the list of Tags, and the problems remain unchanged.
In the Tags I created for my file collection, call it the LotsOfFiles folder, there are no file names listed, none.
However, when I changed the permissions on every file in the LotsOfFiles folder to Staff-Read & Write, then I was able to change, add, and delete Tags from the files.  Also, once the permissions were changed the file names appeared, after five minutes... so I edited this entry when I discovered the change.
The files in LotsOfFiles have been collected since 1995, and have been saved to many computers and many backup systems.  They also have been used, saved, changed etc. in operating systems dating back to OS7, and almost every operating system up to 10.9.  They also are being used on different computers right now, one running OS 10.3.9. one running 10.7, and one running 10.9.  The computers all have different admin logins and info.
But I still can't upload files to this forum!

  • Display file name and remove error from log output

      This script is working great from the GUI but when I call it from a cmd file from a job scheduler it throws out errors. I also want to display from is location the file name and it's byte count(ForEach($File in $Files)) so I can tell if any of the
    files being combined where actually empty. It wants to search the current location from the sever not just-Locations parm..

     I search multiple shares to find a common file name then create a single output file. I will be doing this search and file creation
    for 5-10 different file names. If there is a better way .. certainly open for suggestions. It's working but having issue with
    the cmd file for every file and folder I check. It puts this error out for each run of the process.

  • Telephone Number Links no longer work...and other issues

    I received the 2.3.3, 4.5.608.A956, update a few feeks ago and since then I have noticed reduced functionality and after combing these forums and Motorola's forums I am curious if I  am alone in these findings.
    One) Before the update if I looked something up in Google or an app presented a phone number I could tap it and the phone would switch to the phone controls and would dial the number. Not anymore! Now if I tap a phone number the phone controls open but the number is not in the dial window.
    Two) If you use the Motorola widget, Contact quick tasks, and have them displayed on one of your home screens and you use the physical keyboard, causing the screen to rotate 90 degrees, they get blurry! That's right the text is blurry on the screen. It overlays the text on top of itself twice but slightly offset so it looks blurry.
    Anyone else seeing anything like this?

  • The Video app in OS7 update doesn't display file names.

    The Video app in OS7 doesn't display file names under the image.
    How can I identify my video files without having to open each file to access the file name.
    Is there something I am missing or is this just an omission in the OS7 upgrade.
    I am a music teacher and this lack of file names makes the app virtually useless for use in the classroom.

    Agreed. This has been a problem with TV Shows in the Videos app since forever, but at least it used to put the name under Movies. Now instead fixing it for TV Shows in iOS 7 they've done the opposite and made Movies fail the same way as TV Shows always have!
    Apparently it still lists the title for Home Videos, so the best work around for now is probably to reclassify all your Movies as Home Videos. Sigh.
    Apple's Videos app development team seem to be unaware that iTunes can store and play movies and TV shows that don't come from the iTunes Store, videos that don't have covers, and that need to display the names and other info from iTunes for them. They also seem to not understand that the default grid view for videos is totally inadequate for users with scores or hundreds of movies and TV shows that they home share to their iPads and iPhones from iTunes. The Videos app needs a list view at least, as well as a grid view.
    All they have to do is look at how the Apple TV handles the same files and meta-data from iTunes and provide something similar for the iPad and iPhone. Why after all these years they still don't get that I have no idea.

  • Displaying File Name for Photo and Video Clips in Premiere Elements 10

    I am using Premier Elements 10 on a Windows 7 Pro desktop computer to create
    a project consisting of 128 jpg photo and mp4 video clips.  Before creating
    the project I created a short file name for each clip describing its
    content.  I've added menu tags at locations which separate the project into
    discrete segments.  I've selected a disc menu which utilizes the menu tags I
    created.  I previewed the project and I'm satisfied that the DVD disc I
    intend to create will display everything I want except for one thing.  I
    have spent several hours trying to find out how to have each displayed clip
    include the file name (without extension) somewhere near the edge of each
    window as it is opened in the finished production.  I sure would appreciate
    some help with the steps needed to accomplish this.

    Welcome to the forum.
    This can most easily be accomplished by adding a Title (maybe from a Lower-Thirds Title Template), above each Clip/Still Image.
    I would create one such Title, and manually add the "File Name" in the location desired. Then, place that on a higher Video Track, above the Clip/Still. Then, just use the Duplicate Title function, to create a new Title, with the Text and Style, per the first - edit the Text for each, as required.
    I know of no automated method to grab the Clip's/Still's File Name, and add that to a Title, as PrE does not support any scripting.
    Good luck,

  • File name and Date Display as an obj not the data

    All,
         The issue that I am having is that when I view a Visio file hosted on SharePoint. The file was created in Visio 2007 and when it is opened by Visio 2007 and Visio Viewer in SharePoint. The file name field object and date
    modified object show the information. The issue is when the file is opened by a device that has Visio 2010 the information does not show. Is there something that I can do for these users to have it show correctly.

    Hi，
    Which way did you open the Visio 2007 file in SharePoint？Opened it in the browser or downloaded it to open？ I had test in my environment. Insert a text box>Add a data/time field, it worked fine both in Visio 2007, 2010.
    Thus, let‘s do some test to narrow down the issue’s reason. 
    1.Download the Visio 2007 file and open it with Visio 2010.
    If it worked fine, the issue seems more related to Visio object and sharePoint connection.
    If it does not display the information in Visio 2010 by a device client, the issue was more related to Visio 2010 client.  
    2.Create a new drawing included file name and Date
    field in Visio 2010.
    If the new drawing displays correct, the issue is more related the original, please try to repair the file or re-create the file name and Date filed.  
    If the new drawing still displays incorrect, please try to start Visio 2010 in safemode, some third-party add-ins my be casued the issue.
    If the issue still exists, try to repair Visio 2010.

  • Printing my PDF with File name and Tags Stamped on

    To Forum,
    Possibly not a completely Apple related query, but if anyone know it would be great.
    id like to print a PDF on my MBP with the File name and Tags applied to it stamped on the paper copy... or come to think of it, stamped on the PDF copy which i then print out with those stamps on. Either way will do. Any ideas? Its not immediately obvious when i look at the Printing Prefs box.

    This is an option built into various apps - Safari, Firefox, Microsoft Office.
    There are "PDF Utils" that do this on PDFs one at a time. Can't find a specific one for Macs, but found 2 for Windows.

  • Iphone contacts "not available" to car phonebook after messing around with Outlook.pst file names and backups. Iphone4 connects to car though and other phones connect properly.

    iphone contacts "not available" to car phonebook after messing around with Outlook.pst files, names and backups, on my ms XP 2003 laptop. I substituted a much smaller new Personal Folder -Contacts File, with a smaller list of phone numbers (4 only as a test) which successfully synced to the iPhone 4. The iPhone connects to the Skoda Octavia HandsFreeSystem OK (Bluetooth works fine), but now iPhone wont load the new Contacts as it did originally. However a family Nokia (never messed with) can connect properly. So must be the iPhone or more likely an Outlook.pst \ Contacts problem. Ideas?

    After fiddling a little more, the following fixed my corrupted outlook.pst file:
    1) I made a backup
    2) In outlook under file, I exported the calendar to excel
    3) In outlook under file, I imported the calendar back to outlook
    And voila, it worked.

    I have an airport extreme 2013. Why does my airport utility sometimes display IP addresses and other times the names of the devices? I want it to always display the device names.

    The utility has had less and less useful information .. it might be time to simply find a different utility.

  • Pdf portfolio source file name and date in file details

    Is it possible to import the source file name and extension as well as the source file created date in the portfolio file details?  Need to document source to portfolio in working with 3rd parties that will only have the original source.  Need to document what was converted into pdf as not all files in a directory will successfully convert to pdf.  Sometimes need to convert 100's of files.  Manual entry is inefficient.  the file names and modified dates are displayed on the Combine Files dialog.  is there a way to capture the detail on that page?

    I don't need the detail of when the pdf was added to the portfolio.  I
    need know which dwg or jpg or word file was converted and the original
    created date of that file for control of information.
    That is impossible; sorry. For some *very specific* types of conversion to PDF the pdfx:SourceModified XMP tag will be set to show the last-modification date of the source file (for example DOCX files converted using MS Word), but there will never be a human-readable record of the source filename or its creation date unless you have manually added them as document XMP properties after conversion (this is what the "Custom Properties" dialog is for). To embed source data automatically would raise no end of privacy and security problems for customers, who most certainly do NOT want their recipients seeing details of internal documents.
    Without writing a plugin there's no access to the internal workflow of the Combine Files dialog, so you cannot use a script to read the names and dates of the files *before* conversion and store them automatically in the new PDF Portfolio's Fields array.

  • Separating file name and path

    I need to separate the file name and path of the file which I am uploading from my BSP appl.I am using SO_SPLIT_FILNAME_PATH ,but it is not working because this fm identifies '\' only from GUI front end.
    How do I separate the file name and path in BSP ?

    Assuming that you are using File Upload tag for file upload:
    DATA: fileUpload TYPE REF TO CL_HTMLB_FILEUPLOAD.
    fileUpload ?= CL_HTMLB_MANAGER=>GET_DATA(
                           request = request
                           id      = 'myUpload'
                           name    = 'fileUpload' ).
    file_name      = fileUpload->file_name.
    file_mime_type = fileUpload->file_content_type.
    file_length    = fileUpload->file_length.
    file_content   = fileUpload->file_content.
    Data : filepath type string,
           filename type string,
           t1 type string.
    filepath = file_name .
    while filepath CA ''.
      split filepath at '' into t1 filename.
    endwhile.
    In my sample code above, filename attribute will contain the name of the file uploaded.
    Hope this solves the problem.

  • How to dynamically define a file name and its path in a web application

    Hi, I want to create a simple web application that reads from an XML file and displays the data back to the user. The xml file is created independent of my application on the same machine that the Application Server runs. How can I define my xml file name and/or path to be independent of my code and not hard-coded in my application?

    By an external configurationfile? That can be a propertiesfile, a xml file, an ini file, a plain vanilla txt file, etcetera.
