How do I get Quick Look to show .stl file 3d models?

Hey folks
Previous OS using quick look showed a picture of the 3d file (.stl format) used in 3d printing
Upgraded to mavericks....no preview.
Anyone know how I can get Quick Look to show a preview picture of the 3d model? Not sure how it worked in the first place.
many thanks!

Hi,
I'm working on it.
I just released a new version of Pleasant3D (v2.3.1) which integrates a lot of new functionality (e.g. slic3r support and more).
Unfortunately this update still doesn't fix the Quicklook problem on Mac OS X 10.9. Although I found the problem, I still don't have a solution for this.
However, I implemented much better error checking in the Quicklook plugins and an automatic fallback to display the standard document icon if the plugin fails. That way at least the Quicklook deamon (quicklookd) doesn't crash anymore in case the preview generation fails.
I try to find a fix for the Quicklook problem as soon as possible (if any Mac OpenGL offscreen experts are around, I could really need some help with this...)
Cheers,
Eberhard

How do I get Quick Time to work on my computer again?

Apparently I am old and a dummy and it seems I accidentally uninstalled Quick Time from my computer instead of uninstalling something else that I was intending to uninstall. How can I get Quick Time back? I've tried the download from the apple.com site, but it never shows up in a file other than some binary file and I don't have the option to "run" after download, just save to this binary file. PLEASE can someone help me? THANKS in advance for any and all help.

Hi 1 olddummy,
Welcome to the Support Communities! First of all, you are not old or a dummy. I'm sure you can give me hundreds of examples of things you can do because of your knowledge and experience, so give yourself a break . I just want to clarify .... are you using a Windows computer or a Mac? I'm going to assume Windows and include an article for you that will explain how to delete the iTunes application and all of it's components (because Quicktime is tied to this program). This will not affect your iTunes library, only the application itself. Once that is done, you should be able to work with Quicktime again.

Iphone 3GS- How do you get the pictures to show up larger when someone call

Iphone 3GS- How do you get the pictures to show up larger when someone calls? I know this seems trivial but I have difficulty seeing, so one of the reasons I actually purchased this phone was for this feature. When the photos do come up they come up in the top right corner in small boxes / windows. I already google'd this topic and they suggested importing the photos - to itunes and than directly on to the iphone, I did this and it didn't work. Additionally I took a few test photos from the iphone and tried setting them to contacts. This didnt work either. I looked in settings and could not find anything that discussed this issue. Although I do believe I have seen iphones that ring with large pictures. Am i Crazy?

You aren't crazy.
Adding the photo to contacts on the computer gets you the smaller pix when people call.
Assign the photo on the phone itself and you get full-size pix.
Additionally I took a few test photos from the iphone and tried setting them to contacts. This didnt work either.
So, that certainly should work. Try it again? Try it with a brand new contact, maybe it is not overwriting a previously existing picture.
I suppose there is a small possibility that Apple thought this differing behavior was a bug instead of a feature and "fixed" it with a recent update, but I doubt it.

How do i get quick time to play all videos on a disc?

how do i get quick time to play all videos on a disc, one after another?

Having just looked at the website, I agree its sparse in information.
I have used VLC for 7 years when I bought my last Mac.
Its my default video player and plays 95% of what i throw at it. It plays large HD files smoother and more reliable than any other player.
Yes It will play QT and yes it has a useful playlist feature.
Look at the feature page: VLC Player

How can I get my iphone5s to show up in my mac finder

How can I get my iphone to show up in my finder.

you know this is mac Pro forum, right? Okay, assuming you have synched up your iphone 5s with itunes, it will show up there under devices. If you double click on your hard drive, and look at the window that has opened up there, you will see past "Favorites", past 'Devices" there you will see "Shared" and there your iphone should show up." it will not appear on your desktop as a removeable storage device, at least that's been my experience

How do I get Quick menu to recognize both my Canon printer & Canon scanner?

When I installed my printer, the settings in Quick menu for my scanner were wiped out. How do I get Quick menu to recognize both devices?

Hi DGA,
In order for scanner options for both models to show up, you must have both the MP Navigator for the LiDE 210 installed and the My Image Garden for the MG3220 installed. Please make sure you have both by going to your Start screen, then type in either MP Navigator or My Image Garden into the start screen. Once you start typing it will search your computer for those programs and will display an icon if installed.

When I click on GBookmarks the menu doesn't drop down anymore. How can I get my bookmarks to show again?

When I click on GBookmarks on the menu bar, my bookmarks don't drop down anymore. How can I get my bookmarks to show again? What shows up now when I click on the GBookmarks are 4 choices: Add bookmarks, manage bookmarks, options, and refresh. How can I get my menu of booksmarks to drop down again? I can go to manage bookmarks and then find my bookmarks, but it's a 3 step process now instead of one. What happened here?

The reviews for the GBookmarks extension agree that there is some problem recently.

I ran a web search for other recent discussion and didn't come up with any answers. Hopefully the extension's author has time to look into it.

I have garage band ver 10.0.2 and am trying to add effects to an audio track but i have no info button or track info under the track tab. How do i get these things to show up on my program?

I have garage band ver 10.0.2 and am trying to add effects to an audio track but i have no info button or track info under the track tab. How do i get these things to show up on my program?

In GarageBand 10.0.2 you can no longer add all kinds of effects freely; this GarageBand '11 feature has been discontinued. Pick one of the predefined patches that already has the effects you want.
However, you can add effects from the predefined audio units.
You'll see the predefined effects on the track, when you open the Smart Controls. To add audio units, click the button and enlarge the the smart controls pane by dragging the dividing line to the Track Area upwards.

If the app is G-Toolkit and you have a Gmail app on your iPhone, delete the Gmail app. Apparently the G-Tool kit is tied to a Gmail app. From searching the web my impression is that G-Toolkit is not spyware and is from a legitimate company that produces app for several platforms.

I have two email accounts on my iPad. How do I get a signature to show up on the second account?

The signature should show up with each account. Usually the complaint is not having an option for multiple signatures or not being able to have a different signature for each account.

How can I get my POP account showing in the inbox it's supposed to show in?

Hi-Until a couple of weeks ago all mail received from my IMAP and POP accounts would show up in the correct mailboxes in my Mail inbox list. (Only problem then was that sent mail would never show up in the sent mail folder--always stayed in the inbox.)
Now a new problem has happened----unless I go directly to my charter cable account (P0P account) to retrieve any mail sent to that particular address, the mail goes unnoticed by Mail on my MAC and nothing shows up in the inbox. But--- If I do a test to myself , sending an email to the POP address from my IMAP account from my MAcMAil, my IMAP account will show the email in the inbox of the IMAP account I sent it from as if I'd mailed it to that account. How can I get my POP account showing in the Inbox? And, any suggestions for a fix to getting the "sent" mail to show in the "sent" folder would also be appreciated.
Thanks!
