Document content do not appear in finder preview, quick look or cover flow

The contents of all types of appleworks documents do not appear in finder preview, quick look or cover flow on both of my computers. The generic AWKS logo appears.
Why does this happen and what can be done to correct this?
I have repaired permissions a number of times and have restarted the computer.

AppleWorks 6 was written before OS X & long before Leopard & Quick Look. There hasn't even been an update since January 2004. The ability to create the image for Quick Look likely will never happen.

    I'm not sure Appleworks files are supported in any form of preview. Appleworks was killed long before any of the preview functions were developed, so I don't suppose its file types were included.
    Quicklook has a plugin architecture, so perhaps some programmer that likes Appleworks will create a plugin for it.

  • I can't see my pictures in teh finder using Quick look or Cover flow

    I have iPhoto8 installed and it works fine, but I cannot get a look at my library of photos without opening iPhoto. I thought I was supposed to be able to use the finder and cover flow to see my pictures quickly to find the one I wanted without opening iPhoto? When I go to pictures I get the icon for the iphoto program and it says iphoto library, but I cant see pictures. Am I doing something wrong?

    OBGYNDR
    With iPhoto 7 the old iPhoto Library Folder has become a Unix Style Package folder. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
    For 10.5 users: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
    This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
    If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
    Other options include:
    1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
    All of these are safer and fster than surfing the iPhoto Library Folder.

  • Word documents have a logo image imbedded in Preview & Quick Look

    System information:
    MacbookPro 17"
    2.5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    Snow Leopard OS X Ver. 10.6.2
    MS Word 2008 for Mac Ver. 12.2.3 (091001)
    Issue:
    I can see an image (a black and white logo that I recognize, not Apple or MS related) in certain document previews in Finder. I also see the image if I use Quick Look of the same documents. To my knowledge, I never inserted or embedded this image into the document. If I open the document, the image does not appear. I have tried using the various Views of the document to find and remove the image, but it does not appear in any View type, once opened. The image is a logo that a colleague of mine created, but I have never downloaded it and I have not e-mailed the document back and forth with him. If I copy/paste the text from the affected document to a new document, this seems to eliminate the image, but I am concerned that this may be malicious, that it may have come from using a networked drive at work.

    I have noticed the same. Seems like a genuine bug in preview.
    Try this for laughs: Open up a picture in Preview and note its too warm colors. Make a screenshot, and view in preview next to the original image. The now magically warmer colors prove this is indeed a bug in preview.
    Lightroom, PS, Safari, Opera all show the images in question (JPG, embedded profile: sRGB IEC61966-2.1) consistently correctly, with preview being the only exception a lazy comparison could find.
    EDIT: This happens only on my external TFT. If I move both the Photoshop and the preview windows to the built-in screen, the Photoshop colors "snap" to look the same on both screens (and the same as preview on the built-in TFT).
    There seems to be a problem with preview always applying (correct) color correction for the built-in TFT regardless of whether the image is actually displayed there or on another display. This is probably also only noticeable if built-in TFT and external display have noticeably different color responses (and thus corrections), and only when their colors are corrected.
    This really is an annoying bug for photographers or other creative people (which Apple prides itself to cater to).

  • Video will not play on BBC site error message this content does not appear to be working .Help

    I have bbc news as home page after i updated to firefox 10 if i try to play embedded video i get the eror message [this content does not appear to be working] Help

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • Thumbnails Not Appearing in Finder

    I posted this in the Leopard forumn, but I haven't gotten any response. I hope someone here can help.
    I am having a strange problem with image thumbnails not appearing in Finder. I am editing some very large TIF files on a Macbook that is running Lion. These images are edited on an external drive, and when I hook the drive up to my main iMac, which is running Leopard, the new images I have created in Lion do not have thumbnails. The only way that they will appear is if I open the images in Photoshop and just resave them on the machine running Leopard. This method poses a problem because each image takes about 5-8 minutes to open, and another 5-8 to save. I have hundreds of images and don't have the time to do that to each one.
    Does anyone know what could be causing this problem?

    I've tried repairing disk permissions, as well as deleting the finder plist file, and neither of those things work.

  • Superdrive not appearing on Finder on my iMac will not burn JPG files

    Superdrive is not appearing on Finder and in drive Utilities it will not burn JPG files - says doesn't recognize the file type.  The more I am exposed to Apple the more they look like Microsoft.  If the drive doesn't work with the IMAC then why the **** do they list it with the iMAC site?

    not just the superdrive if the device does not show in finder it's not working properly

  • I have one photo caption which will not appear when I preview my photobook

    Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
    I have just assembled a photobook with captions for most of the pictures.  One of the captions will not appear when i preview the photobook although it does appear in the assembled book.

    Delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

  • No .dng Preview in Finder or Quick Look; File Dimensions 0x0.

    Can see Canon .CR2 raw file preview in finder and quick look. Can see file dimensions.
    Cannot see same files converted in Lightroom to DNGs. File dimensions listed as 0x0.
    CAN see older DNG files processed exactly the same way. All files stored in an external WD 2TB drive. Just for fun dragged an old DNG file to that drive and the preview works fine.
    OSX 10.9
    Latest Adobe Camera Raw
    Latest Adobe Lightroom
    Rebooted, emptied caches, reindexed Spotlight, and on and on and on.
    Apple bug? Adobe bug? Or another situation where they are blaming each other and the professionals relying on their products enjoy yet more frustration. Don't get me started on the color management fiasco of not so long ago...
    Thanks!
    Jon

    Here is the situation: I use Spotlight to search, and
    find a bunch of things I want to look at, including
    some PDF files, which I click to open in Preview.
    Now, I want to send some of these documents, or at
    least one of them, as an email attachment using
    Mail.app. What to do?
    One way to do this is to use the "Mail PDF" item in the PDF Services group of items under the PDF "menu" in the Print Dialog. For multiple documents, this would mean bringing up the dialog ffor each document, so maybe that is not practical.
    You could also create a workflow item using Automator. I am not that familiar with Automator, and you'll have much better luck in the Automator forum, but a quick glance shows an "Add Attachment to Front Message" action as part of Mail.
    Hope this helps.
