Delay when preview Audiofiles in Finder.... :(

Hi there
i got the problem with a little delay in LION when i want to preview some Samples (Wave aiffs etc) by hitting space bar in the FINDER and skip through the whole folder to find the right sample...it really is a workflow killer... the samples are all very short (drum samples or somethng like that)
in snow leopard it was with absolutely no Delay.. I hit spacebar and can listen to one sample... then I clicked with the arrow keys up and down and could listen immediately to the samples..with no delay...and easily could find the right sounding sample....
my system
MAC Mini i7 server
16gb ram
Lion 10.7.3
even disabled Spotlight....
a lot of free HD Space... (its a new mac mini)...
any help ?

Sorry, you weren't explicit enough on how doing it folder by folder would be time-consuming and you didn't mention view options (I didn't make the connection with preferences, since they're not). Anyway, to globally change the views of all windows requires deleting the hidden .DS_Store files that are created when you first open a folder and resetting the first one to how you want to view all subsequent ones as the defaults. This will do it for your boot volume. Copy & paste this Terminal command and hit the return key:
*sudo find / -name ".DS_Store" -depth -exec rm {} \;*
when the Password: prompt pops up, enter your admin password, carefully since nothing shows on the screen, and hit the return key.
Then, create a new folder, set it up using the view options pane (CMD+J), and click the Use as defaults button: Now, it and all subsequently opened windows will retain that setting.
Getting that command to propagate to the server is left as an exercise for your server admin types.

Help - delay when previewing oam-file in browser

Hi,
I have created a drag-and-drop exercise in Edge Animate. I've then placed the OAM-file in Muse, but when I select "preview page in browser", my OAM-file has a delay - I can't drag and drop the objects until about 4 seconds has passed. The drag-and-drop function loads instant if i preview it in the browser from Edge Animate or from the Muse Preview-mode. Can I fix this delay in someway, or what causes it?

hi,
experts,
i have a problem when i am viewing a uploaded file in
my browser i don't want save , saveas option of word
and pdf documents.,
Please help me as soon as posible.And what exactly does your question have to do with the purpose of this forum?
Ask in the right place and you might get an answer, in this case a forum specific to your browser (which you don't even mention, I'm pretty certain that every browser has a different way of doing things like that if they do it at all).

When previewing images by clicking on the thumbnail in an Event for example, I've been finding that many images preview in a 'zoomed in' way so only a small part of the photos is previewed in a highly magnified view.

When previewing images by clicking on the thumbnail in an Event for example, I've been finding that many images preview in a 'zoomed in' way so only a small part of the photos is previewed in a highly magnified view.
Initially I could find no cause. Then I tried right click - Edit and on the affected images, always get this warning:
"Image Cannot Be Edited - This photo was previously edited with another application or with an early version of Iphoto. Duplicate this photo to edit it." and a "Duplicate To Edit" Button is displayed.
The external Editor defined for iPhoto is Adobe Photoshop Elements.
Now, I reckon the MUST be others out there affected by this same apparent Preview bug, yet my searches have not revealed any answers. Also seems impossible to find a contact number for adobe???
Thanks

Zoom level when opening a pdf in Preview from a Finder "find" window

I do a Finder search, and the search window shows a bunch of pdf files. If I double click on one, it opens in Preview with the Finder search term highlighted in the pdf text-very nice. But the zoom level of the pdf is very high, like 300%. So I always need to zoom back out to 100% to see the context of the found term. Is there a way to change this default behavior?
Another point is that once I open one of the pdf's, it vanishes from the Finder window. Although this might make sense in some ways, because, after all, I've already had a look at the file, it's often not the behavior I want. In particular, it's hard to know what the next pdf is that I was going to open, when the one I just looked at is no longer in the list. I should also point out that not all pdf's vanish in this way, but most do. I can't see any pattern.

Hi,
You mentioned that "JavaScript in the PDF can hide toolbar buttons."
According to the Javascript docs for Acrobat 7 the App.HideToolbarButton function only runs at AppInit. Which means that I would have to have the javascript in a file. How can I do that from within the document? Is there another way to to do set this from our web application?

Finder is crashing when previewing files

My finder keeps crashing when previewing files from an external hard drive. It's mov-files and stills(cr2).
I have files recorded on two separate days. When previewing files day 2 there's no problem but when previewing files from day 1 finder is crashing every time. I have back up of all the files on another drive. On the back up drive there's no problem to preview files.

That is why I want you to erase it.. so you can get access.. but I cannot trial it for you... I do not have one.. you have to trial it yourself.
Setup the TC to use Accounts.. not use disk password or device password.. after an erase.
See if that fixes it.
See this post for different but maybe related issue.

Finder window closes when previewing video

Hi,
When browsing through my pictures I occasionally come across videos that I've taken on my camera. In the past Finder would show me a preview panel for the currently selected video. Now my computer pauses for a moment and then closes the Finder window.
Anybody have a solution?
Matt
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hello,
I think I'm having the same problem, I can no longer view any of the .avi videos that i have taken with my camera. and they used to work before. It does the same thing when i try. Finder pauses for a second and then re-opens. Also, when i attempt to open the video from iPhoto, it loads Quicktime for a second and then gives me the "Quicktime has quit expectantly" routine.
Furthermore, Quicktime seems to have a hard time running any .avi files. when i attempt to open them it takes several minutes to load and the fan speeds up during this time. after it finally loads it seems to work fine.
I have tryed deleting thos two files in the finder prefs. but it still does not work. any help would be great.

10.5 - Finder crashes when previewing jpgs created in photoshop

Finder crashes when previewing jpgs created in photoshop. It seems to be associated with the preview. The finder crashes whether it is in cover flow or column view.
The only workaround I could find:
Switch finder to list view. Open the jpg (again) in photoshop, select all and copy. Create an new doc of the same size and paste. Save as jpg. Don't ask me why but it will then preview correctly in both cover flow view and column view.
It's a pain to open and re-save... anyone else having issues with jpgs? or know of a quicker workaround?

This is definitely a common problem.
I discovered this after saving some artwork from illustrator as a PDF. Opening it in Photoshop (to get the bleeds), and then saving out as a CMYK colourspace JPG. I tried a dozen times to attach it to an email to my client, but it kept springing back, and would not attach to a mail message no matter what I tried.
It also crashes finder/preview, and quickview, and safari when trying to look at it. If I copy the flattened artwork into a new PS document and save it out as a JPG then it's fine.
Worse - I understand that if you put one of these files in the downloads stack, then it will continually crash your dock. Nice!
This points towards some meta data problem/incompatibility between with the JPG files coming from adobe and apple's apps...
This is TOTALLY embarrassing as my PC has no problems at all with either JPG...
As someone who switched to Mac for professional reasons after several years of PC use, I cannot believe how slow apple and adobe have been to sort out such a fundamental problem.
Come on guys - less time ponsing about with iPods - remember the media industry who put you here.
Personally I'm hanging on to Leopard by my fingernails - and am so close to saying sod it, and going back to Tiger.

Finder crashes when previewing JPEG files

My finder just crashes when I use the finder in Column or Coverflow modes. It happens not with all jpeg files but I can't find a pattern here. When I open those same files with Photoshop CS3, Lightroom or Bridge CS3, they open without any problems.
The info I get on the "log" is the following (very helpfull indeed):
08/01/31 07:20:56 Finder[117] * _NSAutoreleaseNoPool(): Object 0x1601cad0 of class NSCFNumber autoreleased with no pool in place - just leaking
Stack: (0x9224727f 0x92154962 0x938f1b4f 0x938f18c0 0x2dcc7f 0x2dcdb9 0x9cd0 0x91a40075 0x91a3ff32)
Can somebody help? I've read that this may be a problem associated with files opened with photoshop or lightroom...

Try installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
Then restart your Mac.
It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8.

No sound when previewing music or movies in Finder

Hello everybody,
I recently had my hard drive crash and had to get a replacement drive, reinstall windows, and migrate my backup clone back to the hard drive. Everything is running fine, except for some reason I can't hear any sound, or see any video when previewing movies or mp3s in preview. The time marker moves to the right, but there is no sound or video. Sound works in itunes and in Quick time, but not in the preview? Any suggestions?

OK, i was so used to resinstalling windows that I referred to OSX as windows in my original post. Please forgive me!

"Speed bump" problem: when previewing on the iPad, the first page of each new chapter or section sticks and loads slowly. How can I fix it?

I am building a book with text and photographs in iBooks Author, basing the design on my publisher's layout for the hard copy version. Whenever I introduce a new section or chapter, I hit a "speed bump" when previewing on the iPad. As you read, the first page of the new chapter or section is very hard to turn and sticks as it loads. Within each section the pages flow very easily, but when you reach the next section you hit another speed bump. I have experimented with many possible solutions to no avail. It does not seem to matter whether the new section has images or just text; the speed bump occurs regardless.

Joel Pickford wrote:
However, I am finding that using fewer sections with more content in them minimizes the problem (i.e. fewer section-transions means fewer speed bumps). This is contarary to the support page's suggestion of keeping chapters and sections smaller. I am not having any problem within each section, even with lots of full page photos.
That recommendation was made, presumably, to reduce the length of the delay for each chapter. More content in the chapter means more delay when changing chapters. Of course, if you have lots of little chapters, the delay can still be annoying because, even if only four or five pages in a chapter, the delay is still noticable. Just pick something that works for your book and don't worry too much about the delay. Your readers will be familiar with it if they've seen more than one IBA book.
Will the choice of color space, s-rgb or Adobe rgb 1998, affect file size?
Should I try to compress them more- say, level 5 or level 4 in Save For Web?
Should I size the images for the iPad 2 instead of the iPad 3 retina display, since there are more 2s out there?
Which color space you use does not affect file size. Apple recommend to use sRGB, so I would stick with that. As to compression and sizing, only you can decide. Try and borrow an iPad 2 to make a judgement at what level of compression and resolution you think the images start too look bad. Your high-rez images for the new iPad will be down-sampled for display on the older models, which will introduce additional artifacts.
For my book, I simply used images at 1024 x 768 resolution. When viewed on a new iPad, they look just fine. The lower resolution is basically unnoticeable (at least for my purposes). You can view a sample of my book here: "Djembe Construction: A Comprehensive Guide". If you think the images there are good enough for your purposes, you could down-size your images to half their resolution, which will reduce file size about around a factor of three.

Image Capture and Preview have trouble finding scanner. Photoshop no problem.

Image Capture and Preview have trouble finding the scanner wirelessly unless it is on when the Mac starts up. Photoshop finds the scanner no problem. Any suggestions for Image Capture or Preview?
The scanner is Canon MP620. Mac is MBP, running 10.8.2
I have done all the uninstall, reinstall, update drivers, etc. Please don't bother suggesting that stuff.
Thanks.

As for the scanner - so is this new one wireless? When I hooked up my Epson All-in-One, I had to install it via USB first before I could install the wireless (per their instructions). With Snow Leopard, I simply installed the driver and it covered and recognized both the print and scan function - not so in Lion; I had to go through hoops with the scanner part and it finally showed up as a separate unit. I thought that is silly, but - as long as it works..... I'm trying to think of possibilities since I'm about out of ideas, so you might want to consider that (if it applies). The other troubleshooting suggestions usually include redoing the "add" function after a reboot.
As for Image Capture, I am out of ideas. FWIW, I never use it - in my workflow, there is no need for it. Not sure if this would have an impact, but make sure that you choose Image Capture in the CDs&DVDs Preference Pane (mine is set to ignore or ask purposely):
If that does not work, I'd suggest reinstalling the OS over the top of what you have.

Delay when using BC partition in VMware Fusion

Hi everyone,
I've been wondering about this for months now and finally decided to ask for your experiences.
When using my Windows (XP Pro 32bit) Boot Camp partition as a VM in Fusion I always get a delay when the desktop appears and the taskbar items are loading. I can see that the VM Tools seem to be loading (taskbar icon) while this is happening. This usually takes at least 10-15 seconds on my MBP (C2D with 4 GB RAM) and it has been the same for the last few versions of OS X and Fusion.
Is this delay normal when using the BC partition? It definitely isn't there when booting a regular VM. If so, how long does it take for you?
Thanks!
Björn

Nope, KBDMGR.EXE is located in "Program Files" and autostarted via the RUN registry-entry. It's seemingly not even a real driver, but merely a bridging process that administers the drivers.
If you run bootcamped Windows without KBDMGR you cannot use the special function keys (brightness, loudness etc) and at least in Vista you have to do some manual settings every time you start Windows in order make tap-to-click usable without KBDMGR (a better and easier way is to start KBDMGR once and then stop it again if you don't want/need it).
Manually enabling tap-to-click and chosing the Boot-OS is possible without KBDMGR being loaded even once, you can just call the settings application from Windows/System32. The Readme coming with my Script explains how to find that and possibly use a keyboard- or icon-shortcut for that.
Theoretically it can be stopped/killed via Process-Manager and started manually by just calling the exe file. Practically that only works as long as the RUN entry in the registry remains intact and points to an existing file.
Along other things my script explains how to replace KBDMGR.EXE with a dummy file which in turn allows to start Windows without it and later loading it manually if needed (preferably via a keyboard- or icon-shortcut as described in the Readme of my script).
Personally I use Right-ALT+, for opening the Settings and Right-ALT+. for switching KBDMGR on/off (along with switching the F-Keys from Standard to Special functions alongways). Works like a charm.

Preview can not find linked pages

When previewing my index page I click on the links created
using flash buttons and they can not find the pages on my hard
drive. The flash buttons are incorporated into my basic template as
a library item. When The error occurs the page address that is
being looked for is shown as follows:
file:///C:/KECSITE2/kecpartyfiles/Moonwalk-Bouncehouse-rental-Massachusetts-Connecticut/bo uncers_moonwalks.html
If I click on the same link while previewing other pages ,
the page is found and the address is as follows:
file:///C:/KECSITE2/kecpartyfiles/KECPARTY%20SITE%20FILES/Moonwalk-Bouncehouse-rental-Mass achusetts-Connecticut/bouncers_moonwalks.html
the page is displayed.
all the regular html links work when previewing on all pages
and there are no broken links found when I check links site wide.
and the links both flash and html all work when published. This
only started when I added the flash buttons as links.
Is it possible I changed the way the preview works?

suggestion one:
Go into dreamweaver Preferences->Preview in Browser
put a checkmark in "use temp files for preview"
Suggestion Two: Do Not Use Flash Buttons.
Just don't
there are ten possible reasons this isn't working. If you
just used text
links to the other pages, there wouldn't only be two possible
reasons it
isn't working.
again- suggest you don't use Flash Buttons or Flash Text.
There's a reason adobe finally listened to us and removed
Flash Text and
Flash Buttons from CS4.

Long delay when sending non-btinternet mail

We are using Outlook Express/Windows mail client, and there is a long long delay when sending mail.
It just hangs saying "Connecting..." in the status bar. Receiving email has no problems.
Eventually it sometimes works or sometimes just times out.
The smtp server is not btinternet/yahoo but our own email server, which we have been using for 10 years. There is no problem pinging the smtp server. e.g. smtp.ourserver.net
It works without delays on other (non BT) home/business networks.
We have tried plugging other laptops into this home network and trying to send email (to the same mail server) - same problem.
It therefore seems to be peculiar to a BT Hub or BT as the ISP.
The problem seems to have first appeared when an upgrade was made to cater for future fibre optic services.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Today I started from my Firewire-device with 10.4.11 and had ichat running from there. I chatted with my friend, who is on 10.5.1 - no problems at all. (so my router is not causing the problem, as I thought)
Starting from 10.5.1 again I opened up Activity Monitor and found this message every 10 secs !
25.12.07 25.12. 15:18:29 com.apple.launchd[138] (at.obdev.LittleSnitchUIAgent[654]) Exited with exit code: 1

I remember that I installed Little snitch some time ago and removed it manually. Then today I run the official uninstaller for it. Still I cannot get rid of this activity. May be it has to do something with the text delay in ichat? How to delete all Little Snitch processes? How can someone find these data?
Thanks for Feedback
