Why is the "Show Item Info" feature not working on 10.6.8 Snow Leopard?

Under the Show View Options menu in Finder, I have repeatedly attempted to get the "Show Item Info" feature to work. Yet instead of the item info, it just adds some transparent spacing where the file info is supposed to be. The "Show Item Info feature is checked, so what's going on?

I was talking about the feature that displays how many files are in a folder and the dimensions of a picture.

  • Why does the drag and drop feature not work?

    I have several files on my desktop.  When I try to move them o a new location, they just 'snap back' to their original position.  Why doesn't the drag and drop feature not function properly?

    I'm just trying to move some files to a new position on the desktop.

  • Show Item Info doesn't work for folders in Spotlight privacy list?

    Hi. I have many images in many folders, and since upgrading to Leopard, none of them show the image dimensions when the "Show Item Info" is checked. As far as I can tell, the only thing difference about this group of files and folders is that it has been added to the privacy list in Spotlight, although, that was also the case under Tiger.

    Interesting, I just checked this, since I have my Tiger drive in the Leopard privacy pane, and most of what is there is also on my Leopard drive. You are quite correct: image dimensions for items on the excluded drive don't show up in any Finder view, nor in GetInfo, while the same image on the Leopard drive displays the info just fine. It looks like Finder is taking the exclusion very very literally and not displaying metadata information for items in the excluded list.

  • In formcentral, why does the "proceed to checkout" button not work? on IE I get error " This content cannot be displayed in a frame...

    In formcentral, why does the "proceed to checkout" button not work? on IE I get error " This content cannot be displayed in a frame. To help protect the security of information you enter into this website, the publisher of this content does not allow it to be displayed in a frame ". On Chrome I get nothing but loading.

    Hi,
     This error is generally specific to Internet Explorer and has two possible causes. The most likely explanation is that your browser has unusual browser security settings. I would recommend you try
    resetting your security settings to defaults (varies by version but all essentially the same). You may also have to turn off
    Protected Mode which is enabled by default on some systems. If you’re seeing this error (or a version of it) outside Internet Explorer, you may have a server-level setting that is preventing your content from being framed.

  • Show item info does not show on all files

    I need that "show item info" very much, because it shows, how many sec each of my video clips are. When I have a folder with many video clips in it, about 3/4 shows the item info (sec length of clip) but about 1/4 it does not.
    It would help me a lot to see all. Would there be a way to fix that?

    Before you do this insert your original dvd, then restart holding the c key until the grey apple logo screen appears. When it asks to select language do so. On the next screen select Disk utility from the tools/utilities menu. Select your HD and do a Repair Disk. If errors are indicated and repairs are shown as successful, rerun this until there are no errors indicated. Also do the Repair Permissions option while in this mode.
    After all this restart and see whether all goes well.
    This process will be a lot quicker than a reinstall if it solves the problems.

  • Show Item Info is not really showing info

    Well, here is the problem:
    On my desktop I like the icons to show item info. So, I check that option in view options. It works out well enough, but it does not show the amount of free space in my HD. On my MacBook I got it to work with one account, but not with the others. On my MacBook Pro it will not at all. Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Joanthan

    There seems to be two ways to fix the issue of not having the free space info displayed:
    1. Turn off "Show item info" in the View Options
    2. Repair permissions with Disk Utility
    3. Restart
    4. Turn on "Show item info" in the View Options
    which didn't fix the problem in my case and:
    "force the finder to update how many items you have in a folder [or volume] is to add a new empty folder in the folder showing the wrong items number . Go back and you will see the right numbers of elements/folders in that window [or display option].
    Than you can delete the empty folder and the number will be the correct one. It should work for the size too."
    which did fix the problem in my case.
    Good luck.

  • Show view options/Show item info - only half working

    Used to be that all my photos in a folder showed the dimension under the name. Now, even tho I do:
    Show view options/ and check Show item info, only some of them have the dimensions. And what's really funny is that the portrait oriented pix have the dimensions, but the landscape oriented are missing the dimensions. What's going on here?

    must've recently done something to the Landscape ones...
    actually, the workflow I mentioned was applied to only one folder of pix, both port. and lands., but now, even other folders are affected, ones that I didn't run the workflow on. If I go to iPhoto, export some pix from last year to a folder (saved to anywhere), same results, port. have the dim.s below, landscapes do not.
    And now for something completely diff... So I have a folder of pix on my desktop I just imported from iPhoto. I see dim.s under the port.s, none under the land.s. I open a lands. with preview. I rotate ccl, then clockwise (back to original orientation, right?), save, close preview. There it is in the folder WITH the dim.s under it. What kinda ghost have I got here?
    Just to mention, I bought a Touch. It launches iPhoto when I attach it to my MBP (so it can sync the saved photos, only when I have some on the Touch). Don't know if that has anything to do with anything. Tx 4 th response, BD.

  • Why will the new version of picasa not work on my imac

    Why will my upgraded version of picasa not work on my IMac???HELP
    It will start to load and then error message and cuts off. ( Picasa is photo editing software)

    Picasa is not an Apple product.
    You should ask the developers why they have not updated their application.

  • Why do the apps on my iphone not work after i connect it to my iMac?

    Why do the apps on my Iphone stop working everytime I connect it to my IMac?

    There are a few things you can try.  The first is to simply reset the Shuffle as it may be the cause of the issue.
    Resetting iPod shuffle
    Otherwise, also make sure that the earbuds are plugged all the way in and that the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Shuffle.
    If possible, use another set of earbuds to see if they work okay. If they do, we know its the headset that is the problem and from there you'll need to take the necessary steps to replace them.

  • Isight is not working anymore after updating to snow leopard

    it used to work very well. i updated snow leopard 5 days ago. i try to use skype and photo booth, it is never working again. do people have the same problem?
    thank you for your information

    Thanks for the info - however surely this has something to do with the snow leopard software update - not a hardware failure or is that just a coincidence?
    My iSight was working fine before I upgraded to snow leopard? Is there a software fix coming?
    Welcome to Discussions, lightwright
    ... this has something to do with the snow leopard software update ...
    You may be correct that the problem has something to do with your SL update, but, as previously explained, many of us successfully use iSight every day after upgrading to Snow Leopard, so the problem is not SL itself. If you believe that your problem is with your update, you should consider reapplying the update using the method suggested above.
    If you continue to have iSight problems after properly applying the SL update, consider all relevant troubleshooting suggestions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
    However, if your iSight problem continues, and if iSight now does NOT show as a USB device in your Mac's System Profiler, yours is most likely a hardware problem. In that case, contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
    If, after properly applying the SL update and using the Troubleshooting suggestions, iSight IS recognized in System Profiler but still does NOT work with any of your video-enabled Apple software, your disk may contain some pre-SL software that is causing problems. Either erase the disk and apply only Apple software to see if that fixes your problem, or seek help from your Apple-Authorized Service Provider.
    ... Is there a software fix coming?

  • Why do the regular links in template not work on announcement pages?

    I am trying to figure out why the regular links (buttons) on top in my template does not work on the announcement pages on my business catalyst website. The links work perfectly fine on the other pages, but when you click on one of the latest news links  to the right to read it, it leads you to a page with a url-prefix called announcements, and when you try to get back to one of the other pages by clicking on the buttons at the top for example the register button, it takes you to: http://www.littlefolkies.com/announcements/register instead of http://www.littlefolkies.com/register, and so it gives you a error message: page not found...???
    Is there anyone who can help me out? I don't understand why this is happening.
    You can try it yourself at www.littlefolkies.com...
    I greatly appreciate any guidance!
    Thanks so much,
    I

    Take a look at your classes link.
    You can see how you have the / in front and the others do not. This is why.
    This tells BC to read from the site root. Without it when your inside sub folders (other levels in your url) then it will link to only within that level without the / at the front.
    It is the same reason why you do all your templates and css etc with the / in front which I mentioned to you before if I recall.
    You can also change the name /announcements in the url in the settings for it if you want to.

  • Show items from subfolders not working

    OK, this HAS to be something I've done............
    PC, Windows 7, Bridge CC.
    Open folder.  It contains folders that have raw files, .dng files, and jpeg files.
    Click and select "Show items from subfolders".  It tells me there are no items.
    I'm pretty sure this USED to work on this machine.  It's been doing this for at least a week.  I don't have any filters set, or anything else that I know of.
    I just tried it on the laptop, also Bridge CC, and it works fine.  Do I have some preference or what goofed up?

    Yes, when I go to the subfolders, the images are there.  But when I go back to the parent and try to show images in subfolders it says there are none.  I figure it can't be Bridge 'cause I did the same thing on the laptop and the images in the subfolders display fine.
    I don't SEE any filtering.  And I've closed Bridge and reopened it, which I think resets the filters and such?  Is there anywhere else I could be filtering?  Again, I've restarted Bridge.  I also tried different folders on different disks, and in every case it says there are no images.
    I just checked preferences and I have that set to 5000MB, so anything smaller than 5GB should display, right?  These are RAW files in the 40MB range.  And when I go down to the child folder they display fine......
    Clobber Bridge and reinstall?

  • Why does the visited link color change not work on some pages. this has only occurred in the past few weeks. 2 different computers Win 7 home pm Firefox 29

    On some sites the visited link color does not change. I have checked all settings and they have not changed. I can make the problem change by unchecking the "allow pages to choose thier own colors" box , but the some pages do not display correctly. Things worked fine up to a few weeks ago. I feel it may be a glitch in firefox 29.
    Windows 7 home premium SP 1
    Firefox 29

    Can you try to start Firefox in Safe Mode to see if Firefox works properly with no error? You can start Firefox in Safe Mode below:
    *'''Windows/Mac''': Go to Help > Restart with add-ons disabled
    *'''Linux''': Run ''firefox -safe-mode'' in the Terminal/Konsole
    If Firefox opens up fine with no problems, it's probably one of your extensions that's causing the issue. You can re-enable your add-ons one by one until you find the one that causes the issue upon being re-enabled.
    You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
    You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
    *Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
    Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *[[Image:new fx menu]] > Options/Preferences> Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *[[Image:new fx menu]] > Options/Preferences > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"

  • Why does the power button intermittently fault -- Not work to wake up the phone?

    Iphone 4 occassionally won't respond to the power/sleep button.  Isn't stuck -- works normally much of the time, but occassionally acts as though the battery is dead.  Have to plug into a power source to activate phone.  Battery will show same charge it had before it went into sleep mode.  Can be near fully charged and proceed working for the rest of the day just fine.
    Button does not stick or seem faulty in any way.  But, when you least need it to not work - such as in travel - or for emergences and have not power source to get to -- is bad.  An unreliable phone for a doctor is not good.  I have presented the problem to a few repair shops who are either not familiar with this behavior or suggest that is may be software rather than hardware.  Something miss reading the battery to the phone indicating that the battery is dead when in fact it is not.  Had the phone restored at the Apple store and this did not solve the problem.
    It seems I did run across a blog that this occurred with some IOS update?
    Would be grateful for advice.
    Thanks

    Hi

    There are a simular trick to get the home button to work, here it is.
    Open a default iOS application, such as Stocks, Calculator, or Weather
    Press and hold down the Power button until the “Slide to Power Off” dialog appears, then release
    Now press and hold the Home button until the “Slide to Power Off” screen disappears, quitting the application.
