  • When trying to open a jpeg file I get a message saying the application preview is not open anymore

    In trying to open jpegs to examine, I now receive a message stating "The application preview is not open anymore". I can't see  my images. Whats the problem here. This is a brand new 27inch iMac.

    IMHO the free apps are a band aid fix. If the OP uses Office on a regular basis he will need to upgrade anyway. Personally I have used neooffice and found it substandard however that was just my take. I haven't tried Google's solution.
    We both forgot to mention the OP could also use Pages and Numbers to open their Word and Excel files. If he uses Entourage then Mail and iCal would be viable substitutes.

  • The appliCATION PREVIEW CAN'T BE OPENED -10810

    When I try to "preview" a file, I am getting an error message that says "The Application 'Preview' can't be opened -10810
    How can I fix this?

    Try a restart.
    Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
    Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
    Isolating an issue by using another user account
    If the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • MacBook Pro The application "Preview" can't be opened. -1712

    Hello community,
    My MacBook Pro
    Processor 2.4 GHz
    Memory 4 GB
    Storage capacity 19.31 GB free out of 249.2 GB
    OS X.9.4
    The application "Preview" can't be opened. -1712
    I have gone on line to look up possible fixes.
    1. I did: Go to Applications: Utilities: Disk Utility and ran: Verify Disk Permissions, Repair Disk Permissions. Both fine.
    2. I did: Finder: Go: Library: Preferences/com.apple.Preview.plist and deleted that file. I tried to relaunch preview and it is still not working.

    Try deleting the com.apple.preview folder from the Containers folder in your /Home/Library.
    Exposing the /Home/Library/ Folder
    Pick one of the following methods:
    A. This method will make the folder visible permanently. Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and paste the following at the command prompt:
    chflags nohidden ~/Library
    Press RETURN.
    B. Click on the Desktop, press the OPTION (⌥) button, select Library from the Finder's Go menu.
    C. Select Go To Folder from the Finder's Go menu. Paste the following in the path field:
    ~/Library
    Press the Go button.

    Hi, Did you strip out all components, delete the named folders and reboot as in the second box of  Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates?
    Checking on my computer here (Windows XP SP3 32 bit) I have one copy of iAdCore.dll in the main \Program Files\iTunes folder with the following properties:
    Size 3,004  KB
    Created 8th May 2014
    Modified 8th May 2014

    Product Version 1.0.0.1
    I'll try to get a look at 64-bit system later to confirm the correct path.

  • My MacBook Pro's finder application says: The application Finder can't be opened. How do I fix this?

    I have tried all the fixes, but it still won't fix finder, is there any other way to do it. The terminal script didn't work either. Please help.
    Thank you.

    Disconnect all peripherals from your computer. Boot from your install disc & run Repair Disk from the utility menu. To use the Install Mac OS X disc, insert the disc, and restart your computer while holding down the C key as it starts up.
    Select your language.
    Once on the desktop, select Utility in the menu bar.
    Select Disk Utility.
    Select the disk or volume in the list of disks and volumes, and then click First Aid.
    Click Repair Disk.
    Restart your computer when done.
    If you can now open the Finder, go to - /Library/Preferences and trash the finder plist file.
    Repair permissions - http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751 and restart your computer.
    the update to 10.6.8 for free?
    Yes.  Use Software Update.

    If you are sure you disabled your AV/antispy and you get the flash of a licence it sounds like you may have a malware infection. Look out for posts by b noir and get hold of ewido - its a free AV programme - google and you should find.

  • File sharing in iTunes can't save file as says the required file can't be found

    I have an app which records video surveys (Miituu). I export the responses within the app and then use the file sharing section of iTunes to save the exported folder onto the PC so that I can access the files. However, despite the exported survey showing in iTunes in the file sharing section and displaying a MB size every time I try to 'save to...' it comes up with an error saying
    'xxx' could not be copied because an error occurred. The required file could not be found'
    Any ideas?

  • The application "PREVIEW" can't locate files, cancels shutdown. How can I remove these files from PREVIEWS memory?

    Does anyone know how I can stop this program from looking for files? Every time I restart PREVIEW gives two errors while it's searching for image files that are no longer there. FYI this is a lingering problem related to the replacement of my hard drive (under recall from apple), iphoto had to be totally rebuilt many times through technical support. Now there's just this program still trying to open phantom images.

    If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
    http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/04/show-library-directory-in-mac-os-x-lion/
    You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.2. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

  • Hi,  I cannot access Finder and get the following message. Can anybody help? The application Finder can't be opened -10810

    Hi,
    In the last couple of days I have found that I can't shut down. When trying to open Finder I get the following message... The application Finder can't be opened - 10810.
    Everything else seems to be OK. However I do have to sign in to Google Mail every time, where in the past it opened up automatically.  I am a really novice at fixing problems, so any help would be great.

    The application Finder can't be opened -10810
    "A number of people are having a problem where the Finder will hang or crash, followed by a Finder error message saying "The application Finder.app can't be opened. -10810." The general agreement among affected users seems to be that this is spurred mainly when accessing external drives, but there could be a few other related reasons."
