Viewing video files in a finder window used to have f.forward and rewind arrows

In Leopard, when i would highlight one of my video files, i would get the "play >" and "Fast Forward >>" and "rewind <<" arrows, along with a timeline "thermometer" indicator
now with Lion, all i get is a countdown clock in the middle of the video in the finder window.
is there a way to get the "play" "FF" "RW" and "timeline thermometer" indicator  back?
thanks for your help

anybody know?

  • 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.

  • Is it possible to view ".mp3" files in Mavericks "Tags" windows by file name (rather than the info in the "name" field of it's ID3 tag)?

    Short version:
    When viewing ".mp3" files in a "Tags" window, the information in the "name" column next to the file defaults to the information in the "song" field in the file's ID3 tag.
    Is it possible to change have the "name" column display the actual FILE NAME instead?
    I did some research and found nothing.
    Long version
    Let's say I have a ".mp3" file named "Todd Rundgren - Hello It's Me.mp3"
    When I open the folder this ".mp3" is in and find the file, the "name" column will read "Todd Rundgren - Hello It's Me.mp3" (of course)
    Now, I tag the file "jams"
    Now I go to my "jams" tag view everything tagged "jams", the "name" column in that window DOES NOT say
    "Todd Rundgren - Hello It's Me.mp3" , but instead just "Hello It's Me"
    The finder seems to be pulling this information from the "name" field of the ".mp3" ID3 tag metadata (aka, the information that would be written in the "name" column when viewing the file in iTunes.)
    Ok, that's fine Mavericks, but I want to see the ACTUAL FILE NAME of my ".mp3", (which "tags" windows seems to do for most other things [documents, folders])
    Q: Is it possible to display the filename of a ".mp3" file when viewing a "tag window?"
    Tags are super useful, but this inconsistency makes it inefficient, distracting, and confusing to move freely between the window for a given "tag", and a normal "finder" window.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

    I think you have to avoid editing inside the tags list with the 'metadata names'. Instead right click an item, select 'Open enclosing folder'.
    In 'real folders' you can enable the 'Title' in column via the 'Veiw Menu > show columns', that way you can see the file name & ID3/ EXIF titles.
    'Fake folders' (smart searches & the recent tags list) don't feel finished yet IMO.

  • 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.

  • Unable to view video files in browser :[

    Does anyone know why Safari is unable to view video files in the browser ??? I used to be able to view .mpg video files right in the browser and when viewing .wmv files Safari would open up Windows Media Player which would then play the file. I really dug that feature. Now when clicking on a .mpg video file, Safari simply downloads the file to my HD and that's it. Is there an easy fix for this issue ??? Hello !!! Anybody ???

    Tell the QuickTime plug-in to play the file inside a browser window.
    Open System Preferences/QuickTime and click the Advanced tab. Click the MIME Settings button and then put a check mark in MPEG media.
    Quit and relaunch your browser for these changes to take effect.

  • Viewing video files.

    Hi, I want to use  the airport extreme to hook up and external usb hard drive, can I view video files on my apple TV ?

    Yes, if they're streamed from an iTunes library via Home Sharing. To specify an iTunes library on it, launch iTunes with the Option key held down(Mac OS X) or Shift key(Windows).

  • Viewing iPhoto files from the Finder

    Prior to iLife '08, I could see pictures in my iPhoto Library files from the Finder, allowing me to browse for files from within Adobe applications. Now I can see nothing. Am I missing something? Is there a way of seeing my image files - or possibly my Albums - from outside of iPhoto without exporting the desired files first?
    Thanks...
    Bob Magnant

    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. Again, producing a copy.
    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.
    You can set Photoshop as an external editor in iPhoto: Use the general pane in the Prefeences to do this. This way, when you double click on a pic in iPhoto it will open automatically in PS and when you save it it will be saved back to iPhoto atuomatically.
    The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves. If you're willing to risk database corruption, you can restore the older functionality simply by right clicking on the iPhoto Library and choosing 'Show Package Contents'. Then simply make an alias to the folders you require and put that alias on the desktop or where ever you want it. Be aware though, that this is a hack and not supported by Apple.

  • Burning a QT .mov file to CD for Windows use.

    I have tried burning a QT .mov file to CD for Windows use with Finder and with Toast T 6, Mac & PC option. I burned the QT .mov file and Windows QT Installer on to the CD with both above apps.. However, when I try to read the CD on a Windows PC, it doesn't see the QT .mov file. It did see the Windows QT Installer and you could use it to install QT for Windows on a Windows PC. What is up with the QT .mov file not showing up on the Windows PC?
    Thanks!!!
    G5 Dual 2.0Ghz Power Mac   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   2.5MB RAM

    OS 10.4.6 Disk Utility does give you the option for multisession burning. I used Toast T 6 and it's also suppose to support multisession burns. However, since you mentioned it, the file that you could see (QT Windows Installer) on the Windows PC was the second file I burned. The first file was the QT .mov which you couldn't see on the Windows PC. Maybe Toast T 6 has the same limitations as ver. 5? The only thing I can do is try to reburn the CD all in one session, i.e., with the QT Windows Installer and QT .mov file on the same session and see if that works. What do you think?

  • How can clients view video file that I upload to my Creative Cloud area?

    How can clients view video files that I upload to my Creative Cloud area?  Is there a special password that they have to use to gain access?
    Thanks for any guidance.

    As a video professional, i agree and am VERY disappointed with this policy.  I attended CC presentations at various conventions, film festivals and meetups for a year-and-a-half before I made the leap to CC, and no one EVER mentioned a restriction to transferring video files.
    Whether it's to save storage space or not, that's how it APPEARS to the end user.  Anybody who knows ANYthing about how video pirates commit their crime (which it most-certainly is), knows that there are plenty of FREE, untraceable (or nearly-anonymous) resources to carry it out.  The need for anyone to pay $30 or more per-month to do it with an acct that has their info attached to it is ludicrous!  If anything it's CONTRIBUTING to piracy to encourage creatives to transfer their material to collaborative parties using a less-secure, more heavily-trafficked third-party service than the one they're paying for exclusive use for.
    Adobe's policy makers need to review this restriction and remove it or provide ANOTHER reason why it exists because this one doesn't fly.  And if it continues, make sure a disclaimer gets inserted in CC pitch presentations because likely half of the attendees are working with video.
