After 10.5.3 update, Mail no longer displays the Preview Pane!

Please advise.

Have you tried just dragging up the bar at the bottom of the Mail window, when its dragged all the way down so all you can see is the list of messages then there is no visual clue that its been dragged shut. Sorry if this is something you have tried before. Best of luck.

  • HT6030 In mavericks mail, I can no longer collapse the preview pane. I don't want to acknowledge receipt of certain spam messages so changing the size of the window isn't the answer.

    In mavericks mail, I can no longer collapse the preview pane. I don't want to acknowledge receipt of certain spam messages so changing the size of the window isn't the answer because they are no longer unread.

    Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
    My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
    They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
    However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
    I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
    Anyways I digress.
    So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
    At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
    All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.
    Answers in a postcard :-)
    Much love

  • HT2500 How do I not display the preview pane in mail until I open it with a double click? Some mail I do not wish to open-just delete it.

    How do I not display the preview pane in mail until I open it with a double click? Some mail I do not wish to open-just delete it. New macbook pro with LION OS

    Just drag the divider line between the preview pane and the message list all the way to the edge so the preview is completely closed. Selected messages will open in a new window with a double-click or the return key.

  • Mail suddenly stopped showing the preview pane.  Is there a fix? I'm on 10.5.8

    The mail on my mac mini stopped showing the preview pane.  Is there a fix? I'm on 10.5.8

    I wonder if you've just dragged the page divider across so it's not visible, try selecting the right hand edge and drag it back left ?  (Or maybe it's down and up on that version I'm on 10.7.2)

  • After 10.5.6 update Mail no longer works

    I just updated to 10.5.6 and now Mail (3.5) no longer works. Just before the 10.5.6 update all Mail functions were working normally. When I launch the program "Mail" appears on the menu bar but no window opens. I can select the message window from the menu bar and make it appear but it has no message list and no message content in the window. I can't make sent messages appear either. My in, sent, etc. mailboxes show on the left as usual but I can't get any messages to appear in the window for either of my mail accounts. Also, Mail won't quit without being force quit. I also did the Mail Update 10.5.6 but this didn't help. I went back and used an older 3.3 version of Mail but it won't work now either.

    Hi,
    Some people have reported success by trashing the preference file for Mail. Quit Mail if it is currently up and try moving this file onto your Desktop:
    Hard drive -> Users -> YourUsername -> Library -> Preferences -> com.apple.mail.plist
    If Mail now launches properly, reset your preferences to how you like them. If it makes no difference, quit Mail again and move the file on your Desktop back to it's original location.

  • After 10.8.2 update, calendar no longer displays Birthdays

    I have a mid-2009 MBP that I've upgraded to Mountain Lion about a month ago.  Love it.  This is really the first problem I've felt compelled to post to the forums.  Admittedly, it's not very important, but it's bugging me that I can't get it to work.
    The reason I noticed this is because I have Geektool running, and one of the scripts I wrote (via iCalBuddy) is to display upcoming birthdays on my desktop.  Now, my Lion machine is displaying the birthdays and my Mountain Lion is not.  Further investigation shows that iCal (or rather, Calendar) on the MBP has the "Birthdays" subscription, but there are no birthdays in it.  Checking and double-checking Contacts shows that I DO have contacts with birthdays, and iCloud also shows the Birthdays subscription, complete with upcoming dates.  As do my Lion machine, iPad, and iPhone.  So, I'm positive the data exists and is being synchronized, but Mountain Lion doesn't display it.
    iCalBuddy (command line access to iCal database - extremely cool, by the way) returns nothing when I try to search the Birthdays calendar. 
    I've tried the common things I've read via Google searches, detailed here:
    - Quit and restarted both Contacts and Calendar (and Geektool and FantastiCal).
    - Un-checked "Birthdays" in the Calendar, unchecked "Show Birthday Calendar" in Calendar preferences; quit and restarted Calendar, turned Birthdays back on.
    - Deleted .plist files for iCal and AddressBook in ~/Library/Preferences
    - Rebooted (even though this ain't Windows)
    - Deleted and re-added the "Birthday" field in Contacts
    I'm kinda out of ideas at this point.  Since it was working just fine before the update, doesn't work after, but still works fine on every other device, I have to start believing that there's a bug in this patch.  Or is there something else I'm missing?
    Thanks for reading!

    Hey Markwoody,
    Wow! That definitely sounds frustrating, but good job so far isolating and troubleshooting the issue. We have a few more steps that we can try in an attempt to resolve this issue:
    First, it sounds like you have tried restarting your phone. Let’s try a reset instead:
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/ht201559
    How to reset
    - You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
    - To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    If the issue persists, we’ll want to restore your device to factory settings and test once more. You can backup your device, but be sure to restore it as new first for isolation purposes, as restoring a backup can sometimes restore the same issues that you were experiencing before.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support

    Thanks,

  • After iOS7.0.2 update can no longer visit the internet using WiFi

    I have tried unsuccessfully to sign into many services on the internet, but my iPhone4 will not connect using WiFi after upgrading to iOS7.0.2. I must use Cellular data to connect to the internet.
    If i RESET NETWORK settings and connect using Cellular data, it works.
    If I RESET NETWORK settings and connect using my local computer (home) WIFI I FAIL.
    I have had no problems connecting for months w WIFI at home, but this week I cannot.
    It's fine if I use cellular only data. But I don't want to use cellular.

    The above quit working this morning.
    Tonite I have WIFI access. At least for tonite.
    Settings/General/Reset/Erase All Content and Settings
    Then restore from backup.
    I had to put the iPhone4 into blank factory state FIRST.
    Then restored my iTunes backup.
    Seems to be working fine for about 5 hours.

  • Outlook 2010 no longer displays the calendar and my contacts.

    After installing icloud, my Outlook 2010 no longer displays the calendar and my contacts, except in the icloud calendar and contacts listing. How do I restore Outlook calendar and contacts?

    Thanks Julian for the suggestion. Unfortunately all still checked out and nothing amiss. However, after reinstalling OS 10.6.8 it appears that my calendar items are syncing once again, but not my contacts. I appreciate the suggestion none the less.
    This same thing seems to happen each time I've upgraded Office with the associated version of Entourage, and now Outlook. Ah, well..nothing's ever simple. But I am thoroughly enjoying Outlook and the rest of the Office suite.

    If you can't get dragging to work, just click on Safari from your Applications folder, and it should appear in the dock. Then you can right-click on the icon and PIN it permanently there.

  • I have an old app in my updates but no longer have the app on iTunes and iPhone 4s. How can i remove it?

    I have an old app in my updates but no longer have the app on iTunes and iPhone 4s. How can i remove it? It is beyond annoying, as it constantly has the badge noticfication but can't update the app as it is no longer avaliable. Help!!!

    Unfortunately the app isn't avaliable in the Australian store only avaliable to download in the UK store, very confussing as it is definitely not in my iTunes or on my iPhone. I don't understand how or why it managed to get to updates. I just want to delete it or at least get rid of the notification badge for it. 

  • An internal error has occurred:  ?:0: attempt to index a nil value after installing LR5.5 update and trying to play or preview slideshow

    An internal error has occurred:  ?:0: attempt to index a nil value after installing LR5.5 update and trying to play or preview slideshow. Never had this problem before. I went to forums and see that this is a problem with previous versions and this only occurred after installing lastest update.

    Jeannine,
         If you follow the advice of the previous poster Julie Kmoch and then gradualy add presets back in one at a time you might be able to find the one that is causing the issue. I may be guessing, but I believe the issue has something to do with either an incompatible Preset setting (eg a older preset in newer version of LR) or a corrupt Preset.
    Say you bought LR2 and imported a bunch of Presets from the internet, cuz 'Hey these effects are cool and I don't have to recreate the wheel', and then you upgraded to LR3 (not a clean install) and now one of the Presets that calls a certain slider setting or value that is different in LR3 doesn't work anymore. This might be why it throws the error, but again I am just speculating.
    Location of LR Preset folder in Windows Vista/ Windows 7
    C:/Users/<YourUserName>/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Lightroom/Develop Presets
    If you do not see the folder AppData, you may need to change the settings in Windows Explorer to 'Show Hidden Files and Folders'. To do that in Windows Vista/ Windows 7, open a Windows Explorer window, Click on Organize, then Foler and Search Options. Then click on the View tab and select the option button next to Show hidden files, folders and drives.
    Hope this helps a bit,
    Glenn

  • After doing a software update for iPhoto, some of the photos in my library appear distorted and stretched. I have tried repairing the library but they are still distorted. Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution?

    After doing a software update for iPhoto, some of the photos in my library appear distorted and stretched. I have tried repairing the library, rebuliding and repairing the thumbnails but they are still distorted. Has anyone else experienced this and found a solution?

    What upgrade did you apply?  As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

  • After Upgrading Acrobat Reader XI to Acrobat XI Pro the previewer in Outlook and Windows Explorer doesn't work.  I have to set the default program for .pdf's to Acrobat Reader inorder for the previewer to work.

    After Upgrading Acrobat Reader XI to Acrobat XI Pro the previewer in Outlook and Windows Explorer doesn't work.  I have to set the default program for .pdf's to Acrobat Reader in order for the previewer to work.
    Can anyone recommend a solution?

    If I set the default program for viewing PDF as Acrobat XI Pro the a PDF file will open with Acrobat XI Pro, but in Outlook I will get a white screen and the information bubble "This file cannot be previewed because there is no previewer installed for it" and in Windows Explorer I get a white screen in the preview pane.
    My Acrobat version is 11.0.10
    I am running Windows 7 Professional with Service Pack 1
    My Internet Explorer is Version 11.0.9600.17691
    Update Versions 11.0.17 (KB3032359)
    I am running Microsoft Office 2013

  • Users are not able to save pdfs after editing - Adobe XI. They do not use the Win7 explorer preview pane.  If they completely close the Win7 explorer window, they can save - Adobe XI thinks the preview pane is open when it is not.

    Users are not able to save pdfs after editing.  Product is Adobe XI, OS is Win7 64-bit.  When saving, an error pops up that the file cannot be saved, it is in use.  If they save as a different name, it works.  Found several forums/blogs/etc that suggest the problem can be solved by closing the Window7 explorer preview pane.  They don't use the preview pane.  I figured out that if they completely close the explorer window, they can save.  But this means they have to open and close explorer for each file.

    Hi, I would like to chime in and say that this problem has not yet been resolved. It is extremely annoying when all I do is highlight a document in the file explorer and I get 5 errors (evenly spaced out about 20 seconds apart telling me that "Microsoft
    Word Cannot Start (24)". These errors persist even after windows explorer and word are closed. And I don't want to start terminating processes just to make them stop every time.
    I'm a little frustrated with this problem and the other problems I've encountered with MS Office 2013 with file corruption, crashing, 2010 compatibility issues, and the whole host of errors when trying to actually do WORK with Word.
    I do work with long, complex reports in Word because that's the best way available for myself (and my coworkers) to use. However, I sincerely regret upgrading to Office 2013 because of it. I love it, all of its features, and its interface, but I simply cannot
    use it without problems.

  • Lock Screen function no longer displays the screensaver

    Something is wrong with my Lock Screen function.
    It no longer displays the screen saver when activated, but turns off the whole screen instead. The screensavers themselves work fine when activated automatically after the set time.
    I've repaired permissions, deleted caches and trashed ~/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver.plist (plus the ByHost ones), but it's still not working.
    Is this a known bug? Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!

    there is nothing wrong with your lock screen function. it never activated screensaver. it just locks screen. always been that way. if you want to lock screen and run screensaver check the box in securityy preferences to require password to wake from sleep or screensaver. then assign a hot corner to activate screensaver in exposé system preferences and use that.
