Aperture 2.1.4 - No preview or thumbnails after upgrading to Snow Leopard

I had upgraded to Aperture 2.1.4 before upgrading to Snow Leopard and everything worked fine. But since I installed SL, whenever I make a new version, I get no preview (just a big gray box) and no thumbnail (just a dotted lined box). So this makes Aperture absolutely useless to me. Apple says my service period has expired and I need to pay $199 to get any tech support to remedy this. I think that's ridiculous because I think this is a problem caused by SL.
Before I pay this stupid fee, does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling but nothings changed.
In the meantime, I've switched everything over to Lightroom. So Apple better get this resolved or its losing a good customer to Lightroom!
Thanks... David

Hey Tony...
Thanks for the response.
I am using a Canon 5D Mark II and import RAW files. But I don't think it's a camera specific issue. Even is I import a plain old jpeg and make a new version of it, all I get is a outlined box for a thumbnail and a big gray box for a preview. And the little spinning "loading" wheel goes on forever.
I have gone to that support page and have done everything on it without success. I'm out of ideas.

Preview 5.01 won't display JPEG's after upgrade to Snow Leopard

Upon upgrade of Snow Leopard 10.6 I cannot open a jpeg on Preview that has been submitted by someone to me. It shows up in the side column but not on the main page. how do I get to see the image again? thanks!

There are several possible problems, one of which can be solved to by updating to 10.6.2. You can also try removing these two files:
/Users/yourname/Library/Application Support/Preview/PDFIndex4.sk
/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.plist
Then restart and relaunch Preview. If it still isn't fixed, and you are updated to 10.6.2, then you should download the COMBO updater and run it. There is a link to download it here:

You can run it even if you have already updated.

Adobe Illustrator preview icons changed since upgrade to Snow Leopard

all of my Illustrator files preview icons have changed since upgrading to snow leopard. They use to have the Ai logo. Now they have what looks like the Postscript icon.
I believe preview icons are controlled by the OS so not sure what to do. Have done all of the usual run disk permissions etc.

Illustrator CS4 is installed on my computer and works fine. Double clicking the file will launch or open in Illustrator. It's only the preview that is wrong and a bit of a nuisance if I am looking for an illustrator file

Preview Pane in Safari after upgrading to Snow Leopard

Safari 4.0.3 no longer shows attachments previews. This is only since upgrading to Snow Leopard. So, for example, if I am trying to attach a jpg, unless I know the specific name I can't preview it to make sure it is the correct one. The pane will not open. I am not sure what to do about this! Very frustrating. I just switched from Firefox bc it was too slow and it was crashing constantly. Is Apple going to fix the preview pane bug, or is it something I am doing wrong?

We found a workaround that dealt with the issue quite well with our workflow. Downgrading our systems from OS X 10.6.7 to 10.6.6 was not a realistic option. Your milage may vary if you have hundreds or thousands of OpenType fonts or troublesome Type 1 Postcript fonts or a very large number of OS X 10.6.7 workstations to manage.
We found that if we converted the OpenType fonts to TrueType fonts, then the problem went away. This may also work if you convert Type 1 Postscript fonts to TrueType. I posted some suggestions for how to do that in the "main" thread on the problem here http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=13323072

Preview crashes after save in Snow Leopard

After upgrading to Snow Leopard:
Every time I save a file from Preview, the application crashes 0-3 seconds later. The file save is completed successfully.
On another note, Pages and Word crash frequently.
I have run "check & repair permissions" - the problems persist.
Anyone any thoughts?
Thanks

I have this problem... has anyone found resolution?
It seems like almost all of my applications crash when opening/saving files (including if I cancel the open/save dialog box). Frustrating? You have no idea... unless you have the same issue.
This weekend I reformatted my hard drive, reinstalled Leopard from the MacBook Pro installer disk which came with my laptop, reinstalled the Snow Leopard update, and installed any available updates via Software Update. I used the Migration Assistant to reimport my default account/files from a backup, and for the first time in months... my computer seemed ok.
I've also NOT re-installed any of the add-ons I regularly use (Growl/Textexpander/Little Snitch/MacFuse/Zooom2/Glims), in hopes of having a more stable system... but alas, it seems as though it hasn't helped. After re-installing FileMaker 9 Advanced this morning... I found that it will regularly crash upon accessing an open/save dialog box.
Anyone have any further suggestions? I suppose at this point I have two options: 1) Reinstall Leopard and DO NOT RUN SNOW LEOPARD. 2) Buy a new MacBook Pro.
TIA.

I just upgraded to Snow Leopard, and I have Aperture 3.1.3. Now after I import pics from my camera I get a dialog box so large I can't get to the eject card button. I have to force quit Aperture. How do I fix?

I just upgraded to Snow Leopard, and I have Aperture 3.1.3. Now after I import pics from my camera I get a dialogue box so large that I can't see the eject card button. Consequently, I can't get rid of the dialogue box without having to do a force quit on Aperture. How do I fix?

I can drag the dialog box, but I can't move it up far enough to get to the eject card button. The dialogue box contains all the jpeg Numbers I am trying to upload. It has never done that before. It used to be just a smal dialogue box with no jpeg numbers in it.
It is even difficult to get to the Finder with the Dialague box is open. I have to force quit aperture.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

I just upgraded to Snow Leopard and a new imac. Could someone tell me where the preference is to have a file open in its original file format. Right now my illustrator eps are opening in preview.

I just upgraded to Snow Leopard and a new Imac. Could someone tell me where the preference is to change file to open in original program instead of preview?

Right-click on one of the files and choose 'get info'. in the info box. Change the 'open with' setting to your correct application. Check the 'always open with' option before OK-ing the change, then click the 'change all' button before closing the info window.

I've upgraded to Snow Leopard, Aperture 3 won't open.

I've finally upgraded to snow leopard (hoping the bugs would all be worked out!) Aperture 3 won't open. I did the "fix" found under aperture support. However, the advised, 3.1.1 update for aperture won't open either, saying it I need to install aperture 3 first (it is installed!) help please....

Please see this thread and do follow all the instructions.
Just upgrade to Snow. Now Aperture 3.1 will not start.
I know you have Aperture 3 installed and feel its silly to reinstall it but just try it.

HELP!!!! Aperture 1 won't open after I installed Snow Leopard.

Aperture 1.5 won't open after I installed snow leopard. Why is it not working?

Because it's incompatible. You need to upgrade to version 2.1.4 or newer.

Preview will not display jpegs in Snow Leopard on MacPro

I have read every posting on this site, deleted Entourage, deleted the Preview files suggested, and still I can't get jpeg images to display on my MacPro (I can get PDFs and thumbnails just fine). I have the same operating system on my iMac, and Preview, works fine (even with Entourage on the computer) and always has. This problem arose when I moved everything from my iMac to a MacPro I bought from a friend, and found to my shock Preview does not work. I reloaded Snow Leopard and that did nothing. Then, as I indicated, I did all the suggestions posted here, but had no success. Is there something wrong with the MacPro? I don't want to upgrade to Lion on this computer because I need it for editing on FCP 7. I do documentaries and really need Preview to work. The previous owner did not need Preview for images when he used the computer so I don't know if it ever worked. Any ideas? Last resort, I will upgrade the MacPro to LIon and see if Preview works. If it does, I will just use the MacPro for Avid projects and continue to use my iMac for Final Cut projects. I just want to see if there is anything I can try before I do this.

deleted Entourage
Don't know who would have suggested that, but it was completely unnecessary. Entourage and Preview have absolutely no affect on each other.
deleted the Preview files suggested
What suggested files? File names, please.
Is there something wrong with the MacPro?
With the hardware itself? No, it's obviously a software issue.
This problem arose when I moved everything from my iMac to a MacPro
What do you mean by "everything"? Every single item, including the OS from the iMac, or just your user account and apps by using Migration Assistant?
I reloaded Snow Leopard and that did nothing.
Snow Leopard disks that came with the Mac Pro, or a retail copy?

Aperture not working following upgrade to Snow Leopard 10.6.3

Until now I have been running OS X 10.5 and have regularly checked and updated software. For photo's I originally purchased Aperture 2 and recently upgraded to Aperture 3 (using an upgrade disc rather than a full version) and all was working fine.
Today I upgraded to OS X 10.6.3, using a Snow Leopard upgrade disc purchased from an Apple shop, then completed a software update which has taken me to OS X 10.6.5 but Aperture will now not launch I just get a pop up stating that "Aperture cannot be opened because of a problem" and then suggesting that I need to check with the developer to make sure that Aperture works with this version of Mac OS X.
I am clearly using the latest version of Aperture and the latest OS X system so am stumped.
I have also attempted to reinstall Aperture using my Aperture 2 disc (still wont launch) then the Aperture 3 upgrade disc (still wont work).
Any help or guidance would be appreciated
Thanks

Welcome to the forums!
Have you tried the Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics detailed here;

Also as you have just updated software and OS run Disk Utility on your disks.

Organizer 10 missing thumbnails after upgrade

After upgrading from Elements 7 to 10, I'm missing 1400 thumbnails in Organizer 10 that are still present in Organizer 7. Is there some way to find the missing images and get them viewable in Organizer 10? Thank you.

Well, I figured how to fix the problem manually, fairly quickly. Clicked on Display, then folder location. In the My Pictures section, it was was easy to identify the 20-30 folders (out of about 100) whose images had not been imported into organizer. Right clicked each one, one at a a time, and clicked to import images. Voila. Took about 10 minutes, and all the images are now in Organizer 10. Thanks for the ideas to help me.

I upgraded to snow leopard 10.6.3 yesterday and now aperture 3.1 wont open??

I upgraded my OS on my macbook to Snow Leopard 10.6.3 yesterday and now Aperture 3 will not open, error message "aperture cannot be opened because of a probelm"
Any suggestions?

Update your MacOS to 10.6.4 to be able to run Aperture with SnowLeopard; if you are using Snow Leopard, your computer must be Mac OS X v10.6.4 or later to use Aperture 3.1, see: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3485

Blank thumbnails in Iphoto mobileme gallery after snow leopard upgrade

After upgrading to snow leopard, all the thumbnails for my different mobileme galleries are blank. iphoto 08. If I click on a blank thumbnail, I get a big ? I tried logging out and back in mobileme a few times, and also tried all the "rebuild" options when holding control & alt while opening Iphoto.
All the pics are there if I look online at the gallery.
any ideas?
B

Greetings,
Do the original images show up in the Photos and/or Events section of iPhoto or do they also give you an exclamation point?
Do you have a backup of your important data like Time Machine?
You can try reseting iPhoto:
Ensure all your software is up to date (Apple Menu > Software Update).
Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
Home > Library > Caches (I remove the whole folder. It will be re-generated upon restart.)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iPhoto (There may be more than one. Remove them all.)
