HT2506 Permissions in Preview?
I've been having problems viewing jpeg files in preview. It shows me the thumbnails but when I click to open it it says I do not have permission to view the file and suggests I go to "get info" and change the settings. I've done that with individual pictures to no avail. Would be very tedious to do even if it worked. The pictures open fine in iphoto and pixelmator. Thanks in advance for any help.
This might be belated, but in Preview you can go to Tools, Show Inspector. Click on the pencil icon all the way on the right to show the "Annotations" pane. Command + A to select all. Delete.
It's annoying that you have to go to that list to delete something, but I haven't found a way to delete annotations without it.

Repair/verify disk permissions and Preview problem.
The preview problem is yet to be solved + is outlined here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=298858&tstart=0
Also:
I decided to open up disk utility and verify disk permissions, this went fine. I then went on to 'verify disk' and it told me:
Volume Header needs minor repair
The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair
What's the solution? start up from OSX install disc? is this hard to do?I am also having trouble with "verify disk permissions".
I have had frequent crashes recenlty and as a result upgraded to Tiger. The system crashes sometime when recovering from sleep (twice yesterday) and was crashing ferquently in Panther OS when hitting the odd key here and there.
Since upgrading to Tiger, I have apparrently successfully "repaired the disc permissions" on the start up volume, but then when I come to check them again, there are still the same problems, even though the "disk utility" has been run successfully. Have run disc warrior and "Verify disk" and still not convinced.
I also notice that the machine seems to be much slower running Tiger than before.
I avoided a complete install of the new OS because of all the aggro that involves, but it may be my only option if no one can help.
All thoughts appreciated.
Thanks

I use Preview to edit photos, and would like to know if there are any updates to this program in the works. It seems Apple is constantly updating its software, except for Preview. I find it crashes all too often, and also takes forever to "catch up" with me (as in spinning beachball of death) when I'm editing a lrge amount of photos. Yes, I know I should be using Photoshop or somesuch, but it's just too **** confusing, and I don't have the time to figure it out. Thanks!!
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful. -
HT2506 OS X Preview: Insert a white box with no border?
Hello, I have a PDF document in Preview (OS X Lion), and I'm trying to insert a "whiteout" area--basically a white box with no border or shadow. However, no matter what I do, I can't seem to create an annotation rectangle without some kind of border showing up. Actually, it looks more like a shadow than a border. Am I missing something? Is this possible with Preview?
Thanks!This drives everybody nuts, and Apple does nothing about it. My guess is there's somebody with a patent -maybe Adobe- forcing them to keep the damned shadows.
The only decent solution seems to be the free app Skitch. Reveiws are 100% negative on the latest version, which has been stripped of features (Adobe, again?), but you can still get the older versions at http://www.oldapps.com/mac/skitch_for_mac.php I use version 1.0.12, which works with Mountain Lion.
There's also GIMP, which is a powerful program but has a learning curve like the Matterhorn. -
I prefer Preview as my default reader. Somehow Adobe Reader has locked itself as the default. How do I reset back to Preview?
First order of priority - Establish what platform is in use. In this case: MacBook Air with Trac Pad, no Mouse.
Second - Establish Operating System in use. In this case: OX 10.8.3.
Third - Establish, as best as you are able, the parameters in which you have been attempting a work-around and, to include mention of, any other secondary software program capable of becoming a default other than, in this case, Preview.
Fourth - State the problem: Adobe Reader somehow automatically has become the Default PDF viewer.
Here's my answer: When a trac pad not a mouse is in use - Select the PDF you will be opening; don't open it, Select it. At this juncture, tap COMMAND - I (Unfortunately Apple has no Drop Down Menu motion to achieve this operation that I can determine); at this point you will get this:
Click on "Open with: " If you see Adobe Reader there in lies the problem. So, simply click the "up/down" arrows on the Selection Window, and from there click on Preview. From there on Preview will be your Default program.
Thank you to everyone who helped in reply to my initial query. -
HT2506 Questions about Preview Using in Safari after Installing Adobe Reader
I wonder how could I reuse Preview to open PDFs on Safari, after I installed the **** stupid Adobe Reader. Now I can't read and download online PDFs just because I got the Adobe Reader, even if I uninstalled the Adobe reader. What should I do?!!!!
I've been having this same problem with saving pdf files File - Save As from the top Toolbar on my laptop.
I would constantly get messages - There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired.
I also downloaded the lateset version of Adobe Reader XI
But at last I have managed to find a simple way to access pdf files from the internet.
Firstly, without downloading the pdf, I printed the pdf file direct from the Safari page by using the Print icon on the grey lozenge that appears centrally three quarters down the screen.
Then I discovered that if I save the pdf using the Save icon from this same grey lozenge on the Safari page I can open and print this pdf version from my desktop.
I've tested it with a couple of different pdf files and these methods work using the grey lozenge icons but the same pdfs files don't work using File - Save As on the Tool Bar. -
HT2506 Why does Preview also open previously viewed files when I double click on a file to view it?
Trying to figure out how to stop it from doing this - finding it irritating - or is it a 'feature'?
Already checked the preferences menu, but no luckHa! Just figured it out, thanks to checking the discussions - in the System Prefs, under 'General', unchecked 'restore windows when quitting & re-opening apps' & that seems to have done the trick

Constant crashes / freezes in Timeline
I know this has been addressed and maybe there's just no answer but here goes.
I'm working on a relatively simple project w all clips form the same source - 1080p / 23.976 / HDSLR, 1 adjustment layer, simple gamma and contrast effects on a few clips, 1 audio track with music only / compressed mp3
After about 15 minutes of work the timeline freezes / unable to use any controls but the audio keeps running. this usually happens when simply playing the sequence back in the tl but sometimes it will happen when working in the source monitor. while it's consistently happening i can not recreate the problem at will. And all the clips are local on my HD not connected to external storage.
My set up ...
PP CC 2014 8.2.0 build 65
osx 10.9.4
late 2013 IMac 3.4 / i5
GTX 775 2gb vram
16bg ram
using an identical imac as a second display connected via thunderbolt
Steps I've taken ... (not nec in order)
reboot
reset smc
repaired permissions globally
confirmed all adobe folders are set to read / write and reapplied permissions
deleted previews / re-rendered.
manually cleared media cache
turned off adjustment layer
confirmed video card firmware is current
switched mercury playback to sw only from CUDA
At this point PP is essentially unusable - I cant imagine the issue is with my set up since i'm able to run media composer and resolve both quite resource intensive programs just fine. ... no not at the same time and they're not open while use PP.
I'm pretty much at my wits end and would really appreciate any advice.
Thanks!I posted on the problem of a clip freezing on its last frame if played in the in the timeline. The audio would continue, but the video froze. I found that applying a filter to the clip that froze on its last frame would sometimes fix the problem. I used the motion filter with a scale factor of 101%, others have used 99% opacity. I have also observed that the fix does not always work.
When the timeline is output to video, there is no freeze.
I believe someone else was able to solve the problem by re-capturing the video for the problem clips.

HT2506 Is there a way to search notes in preview?
Anybody know if it is possible to search your notes in Preview?
You can start typing the first letters of the site's URL after you have set focus to the area with the site names with a mouse click.<br />
For the current site you can see all permissions in Tools > Page Info > Permissions<br />
This won't help for third-party cookies, but should work for the current server.
What is the default setting for cookies?<br />
Are you blocking all cookies and only allow some? -
HT2506 I have a problem with preview app...
I can't open the preview PDF or IMAGE because said me that I don't have permissions
Could you help me with this?Most of the people on these forums, including myself, are fellow users - you're not talking to iTunes Support here.
Are you able to connect to a wifi network - tapping the app should pause the download of the app and change it to 'waiting', so you should be able to pause the download until you have access to a wifi network. -
Hello this week I'm unable to open any pdf's with preview, when I select to open a window opens up with message "file couldn't be opened because you don't have permission to view it" none of the pdf's have any security thanks if you can assist
Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):

Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.

This will bring up the info window on it. CHeck the bottom under sharing and permissions and your name or admin and see if it has read&write permissions, if not you may have to enter your admin password to unlock the padlock and change ti to read& write.

Multiple problems with different programs (Prezi, Flash, Preview, Cobook) and permissions
All of a sudden my MacBook Air with Os X Mavericks is going crazy. It all started when all my premissions went crazy. All of a sudden I would not be able to acess programs and files. I solved that by resetting all permission on Finder. Soon after Cobook disappeared and would not load my ICloud contacts. I fixed it, but soon after I realized I could not update Flash Player. I tried any tricks I could find online, but the only way out was to reinstall Mavericks (not a clean install, though). Now, I have Prezi that is not working under Safari and the desktop app (while working with Firefox). Also, Preview is unable to show my loaded signatures.
I perfomed a clean install, but then reloaded from a backup all applications. The issues are still there. I cannot figure out what is wrongSome of your user files (not system files) have incorrect permissions or are locked. This procedure will unlock all your user files, reset their ownership, and remove their access-control lists. If you've set special values for those attributes, they will be reverted.
