Can't view jpegs anymore [solved]

In the process of switching from Mepis to Arch, I've now come to the image viewers. Gwenview is my favorite, but when I installed it here, I really can't use it, because it won't display any jpeg images. I tried some of the other viewers, and it turns out that I can open them in Gimp and KView, but neither in Gwenview, Kuickshow, Showimg, or KIconedit. Even if I specify a JPEG filter for the browser, no files are shown. Not either in the preview pane in Krusader does it show up.
What is wrong? Is it some conflict which the installation didn't catch? i'm using KDE3.5 - could that be it? I'm not sure if it happened before or after I installed kde3.5, since I haven't really started looking at the picture side until today.

the system is up to date. It's not a problem with the system as such, since I can log in as a different user and the programs run fine. I think it's something to do with the kde cache or something, but that's territory into which I haven't yet ventured...
I actually managed to run gwenview from console this morning
% gwenview picture.jpg
And there was a long list of warnings, which I thought I had copied before I closed down the terminal, but I hadn't so I can't reproduce it here. But the jpeg was shown. When I closed it down and tried again, it was once more without luck.
If I run showimg the same way, I get this:
showimg: WARNING: Pixmap not found for mimetype application/x-crossover-jpg
showimg: WARNING: Pixmap not found for mimetype application/x-crossover-jpg
and no jpg displayed. I have just installed crossover - perhaps I should try to remove it again...
What seems strange is that KView works fine. I would have thought it had to do with kde-related apps, but then KView ought not to work either?
I don't really know what kbuildsycoca is/does, but it seems to be involved in the error/warnings? In generall, whenever there is a problem with xfce, it is always related to kde functions somehow. hm. Can I remove the /var/tmp/kdecache-<user> folder and let it rebuild on the next run?

Can't View JPEGs in Windows Explore Because of QuickTime Picture Viewer

A couple of weeks ago I had some film developed in our local drug store. I had the photos put on a CD. The CD came with its own software and you had to install the software in order to view or take off the photos. I wanted to use my own editing software program to edit my photos so I copied the photos to a folder on my HD. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that all my JPEG files had been turned into QuickTime Picture files. Not just the ones that I took off the CD, but every JPEG file on my hard drive--over a 1000! I did what you usually do whenever you want to change an association for a file in WD 98--I right clicked on a JPEG file and chose the option that said always open these type files with ACDSee, the photo editing program I wanted to use for my photos. All this did was to allow me to open all my JPEG files into my favorite photo editing program, but still would not allow me to view my JPEGs in the Windows Preview pane on the left of my screen in Windows Explorer! When you have as many JPEGs as I do, even if they are all organized and labeled, you still need to be able to view the thumbnails in Windows Explorer so that you won't have to open up every photo to see what it looks like. There is no way you can remember what every photo looks like when you have that many files even with them all labeled. I went in to the Preference option in Quick Time and unchecked every thing that had to do with still photos. But it did not help. I right clicked on every folder and checked the option that says View Thumbnails. I went into the Folder Options in Windows Explorer and tried every folder option that was offered and none of it solved the problem. I have searched the knowledge base on MS web site and could not find an answer. I have posted this problem in numerous Tech bulletins and no one can figure out how to solve this problem. I checked my Program's list and I also noticed that I had something there listed right under Quick Time that said "Quick Time for Windows" and don't remember ever seeing that before and don't know if that has anything to do with my problem or not. My Quick Time version is: 6.5.2. The "Quick Time for Windows" is not listed in my ADD/REMOVE program. I am so totally frustrated after working on this problem for 2 weeks, almost 8 hours a day, that I am about to uninstall Quick Time just to see if that will solve this problem. I would hate to do that, and that is why I joined this forum before I perform such a drastic measure. I figured that since this forum is all about Quick Time, someone here will know the answer. I have to leave the house for a little while but will check back here when I get back home and see if anyone has posted here. Thank you in advance for any help that you offer.

Well, it seem no one here knows the answer to my problem either. I appreciate all the people who have looked at my problem even though they did not know the answer either. Because no one on the Internet seems to know how to solve this problem, then I am going to have my husband reformat my hard drive and then I know for sure the problem will go away.
I probably should do that anyway since I have never had to reformat my hard drive since I got it 8 years ago. I always said if something is not broke, why fix it and now it finally seems to be "broke", so I might as well clean it up as well as fix it. Thanks to everyone who looked at my problem.

Can't view jpegs on CD using Panasonic CD/DVD player/recorder

Has someone else experienced this
1. burn JPEGs from G5 to CD
2. try to view JPEG files on Panasonic CD/DVD player DMC35S
3. problem: either the files won't show at all or the files show every other space.
- CDs not created on the MAC show perfectly so the Panasonic machine is ok. I think that the MAC some how adds a "code" to the end of the JPEG file that the machine can't interpret...??
Any advice?

If you are burning the CD from within iPhoto, I can understand how the DVD player would get confused. iPhoto creates a non-standard folder structure.
Have you tried burning using the Finder or Toast? You would need to export the photos or drag and drop them out of iPhoto.

Can't view applets anymore

Hi, I hope someone here can help me. I'm using IE 6.0, and I can't view applets now that I could 2 days ago. I'm not sure if I inadvertantly deleted something I shouldn't have or what. Thinking that I may have, I did a system restore to an earlier point in time where I could see them fine, but it didn't fix the problem. I don't even see the grey field, just the 3 colored geometric shapes in the upper left corner. I could really use some help. My e-mail is [email protected], or you can find me on AIM at Luvvabelle if that would be easier. Thanks.

Nevermind. I ended up deleting everything named java and reinstalling the entire platform. That worked.

Why, when transferring files from windows to OX OS, I can't view jpegs

I just recently purchased a new IMac Air and I am trying to transfer files from my old PC to my Mac Air. Whe loading jpegs, I get an error meesage when opening them up. The error message indicates that jpegs are a file that preview does not recognize. I transferred the files using a USB memory stick.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for any help.

OK, thanks for that, but im sill unable to read the windows eudora files in eudora for OS X.
First ive used BBedit and textwrangler to open the windows eudora .mbx files. Then ive saved them without the .mbx line and moved them into the Eudora folder --> Mail Folder. What happend here is that when running Eudora the the single mail files in that individual mailbox file become one huge file, with all the text flowing on from one to the other in the same file.
Next, i tried FTPing between windows and OS X. I did this, making sure i was uploading from the pc in ASCII. Pulling them down into the mac, removing the .mbx and transferring to the Mail Folder of the Eudora Folder and then opening eduora, these files are not recognised at all.
Any further help will be most appreciated!

Since I have Yosemite on my iMac I can't view PDF files in Safari anymore. It keeps telling me to upgrade my Adobe Reader, but it is the latest version. Please help? I don't have this problem on my Macbook that does not have Yosemite installed.

Since I have Yosemite on my iMac I can't view PDF files in Safari anymore. It keeps telling me to upgrade my Adobe Reader, but it is the latest version. Please help? I don't have this problem on my Macbook that does not have Yosemite installed.

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
          Allow Plug-ins
Then click
          Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

Try closing the Mail app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

My iPhone 4 with iOS 6 is making me start to hate Apple. Any App and at any time I open and I can not view it or move for more than 2 minutes, they close themselves. During connections, it also gives this problem and the signal disappears after a few seconds back but often the person on the other end has hung up ... I can not stand it anymore, someone suggests something?
Besides these problems, there is the battery, which was bad got worse, she is not lasting more than 10 hours, even without using the phone.
Sometimes it even seems that the problem was solved, but my joy did not last long after I celebrate all the problems return, is incredible ...
thanks.
Sorry my bad Inglês.

Since I can't view my points history.....

Can a specialist please let me know how many points I have pending and an estimated date of when I'll be receiving my points since I can't view anymore on bestbuy.com. I want to know if I'll be receiving points for a pre order and a purchase that I made on 9/27. When can we expect to be able to view our history. I figured since a lot of people are asking for this feature it would of been on the top of the to do list for bestbuy. I wouldn't be asking but I had problems in the past with receiving points.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Good morning Dracky,
As long as your BestBuy.com and My Best Buy accounts are linked, you should be able to login to BestBuy.com right now and view your points/purchase history. I posted an update to the forum on 10/1/2014 once the points/purchase history feature had officially been added to BestBuy.com. You would want to login to BestBuy.com, click on "Account Overview" or "Rewards" under the My Best Buy tab, and then click on either "Points History" or "Purchase History."
From what I can see, you do have a couple transactions from 9/27/2014 that are currently pending in your account. If you would like to discuss your account in additional detail, then please feel free to send me a private message and I will see what I can do to help. You can send a private message by logging into the forum and clicking on the yellow envelope located at the top of the page.
*UPDATE* - Manage your My Best Buy account on BestBuy.com
Thank you for posting to the forum!

Is there a way to adjust the settings on launchpad so that when I swipe into it all the open apps/pages are fully separated (like in exposé) so that I can fully view all of them simultaneously?

Hi Apple community,
This is my first go at this so be kind,
My question concerns launchpad. Coming from Snow Leopard I had been using spaces. I like to keep certain bundles of programs on separate desktops, for example all word processing related tasks in one place. I have set up the equivalent on Yosemite.
My problem is concerns the loss of exposé. Now I know when you swipe into launch pad you get a very similar effect but the issue I am having concerns the "zoom out" effect when you swipe into launchpad. With exposé all open apps/pages etc would be fully exposed - in my case several (sometimes as many as 9 word documents). What I am running into is when I do this in / into launch pad the "pile" of docs is exposed but they are still overlapping so I can't get a good look at which is which and visually identify where I want to navigate to.
My question is this; Is there a way to adjust the settings on launchpad so that when I swipe into it all the open apps/pages are fully separated (like in exposé) so that I can fully view all of them simultaneously? If so, instructions on how to do so would be greatly appreciated. Any alternative suggestions to doing this outside of launchpad are also welcome. If there is an exposé app for example, I would be quite willing to go that route.
My main concern is being able to quickly (ie a touchpad gesture) expand all the open pages so I can bounce between them.
Much thanks from a loyal Apple friend.

Hey Eric,
Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

Can´t view photos in full screen after loading photos to dropbox? what to do?, can´t view photos in full screen after loading photos to dropbox? what to do?

after loading photos to dropbox i can´t view them in full screen in iphoto ... i can only view them small ... when i click on them this sign "!" appears... do you know how to fix this????

If you're loading photos to drop box why do you expect to see them in iPhoto?
The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
