How can I open photos and documents in Finder?

When recently trying to open photos and documents in Finder, I am receiving a message: The application Preview cannot be opened- 1712.
I read several discussions that suggested to delete the apple.com.Preview.plist
I accessed my Library and have two folders:
"com.apple.Preview.LSShare...eList.plist"
"com.apple.Preview.Sandbox...List.plist"
Thank you for any assistance.

Try repairing permissions before deleting .plist files...
Launch Disk Utility located in your Applications > Utilities folder.
Select the startup disk on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click:   Repair Disk Permissions
This can take awhile so don't be alarmed.
Restart your Mac after Disk Utility is finished then try opening photos and documents in the Finder.

    What do I need to do under my wife's user login so she can have access to photos and documents on my user account?

    Move the data you want to share to the hard drive level Users/Shared folder and she will be able to access them. You may have to do a Get Info (command - I) on the folder and add her with read/write permissions, then select the gear at the bottom and Apply to enclosed items.

  • How can I access photos and videos saved to the iCloud?

    How can I access photos and videos saved to the iCloud? I backed up my iphone to the Cloud but now the files are nowhere to be found.
    I had to reset all content and settings in order to troubleshoot an issue. Before I did this, I backed up the iphone to icloud. When I reprogrammed the phone, I had to set it up as a new device and individually sync apps and other items from itunes. But by doing this, I somehow lost some videos and can't seem to find where they would have been saved/backed up. Can anyone offer any guidance?

    You can't view photos and videos on icloud (except for shared photo stream pics).  iCloud merely sync photos between devices using the stream.  If you don't have photo stream turned on, then the only place photos in the camera roll are located are in a backup.  You would have to restore from the backup.  But be warned that many users have ended up losing their photos when performing a restore, for whatever reason. 
    What you should do in the future is always sync photos/videos to a computer for storage, don't leave them on a device or trust icloud to somehow store them.

    It is better to export (file menu ==> export) since when you export you control exactly what you get - see the user tip on exporting for details

  • How can I open my ipad passcode with find my ipad is turn on

    how can I open my ipad passcode with my ipad is turn on

    1) ensure iTunes is authorized for your iTunes store account(s)
    2) connect your device and right-click or control-click it in the iTunes Source list, then choose transfer purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    3) sync the device
    iTunes will wipe the iPad but, since you transferred your purchases in the previous step, your content will be in your library and you can re-populate the iPad with it.
    above works for purchases from the iTunes store. for everything else, check out this post by Zevoneer.
    also, there are PhoneView and iRip.
