Icon Preview in Finder Replace Application Icons, Which Apps Will Now Open?

If you're a graphic designer like myself who uses multiple image programs it was extremely easy to see which app was used for each file... A Photoshop document displayed the Photoshop icon, a Preview document displayed the Preview icon etc. etc.
... But now alI I see are tiny previews of every document, which may be great for certain circumstances, but now I have the problem of Select All and Open... but various apps open all at once if they related to multiple apps. If I knew which documents were opened by what it would help me to determine whether a quick snap at Command-A along with Command-O would suit me. Currently it now doesn't as I don't wish for perhaps more than one app to open, AND dragging to the dock and hovering to open an app is a pain, too.
So, any suggestions?

I bet you're talking about column view. If you are, open a window in column view, select Show View Options (Command-J), and uncheck the box for icon preview.
There are different view options depending on whether you're in icon view, column view, list view, etc. Icon Preview is great in icon view, but not so useful in the other views.

TS1702 Game Center app will not open, in setting I only have a spinning icon , which seems like it can't download the app.

Game Center app will not open. I only get a spinning icon on settings. Trying to open but stuck. On app itself , it's just blank.

Hi Free lee,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. I would first try closing any pertinent apps like Settings and Game Center:

If the issue continues, a restart and possibly a reset may also be warranted:

Stop Find/Replace syncing between different apps

Hi all,
I was wondering if there was any way to stop the Find/Replace function in some apps from syncing their search terms between each other.
My problem:
= Lets say I have Pages and TextEdit open and search for "tree" in Pages.
= When I go over to TextEdit and do a command+F, the search window will automatically have the word "tree" populated in the search term field.
= When I search for "shrub" in TextEdit and go back to Pages, the search term field in Pages gets filled in with "shrub" even though I still wanted to continue my search on "tree."
So far I've seen this happen between any combination of Pages, TextEdit, Numbers, and Safari. Is there any way that I can stop these apps from syncing their search terms between each other?
Thank you very much in advance.

It behave the same in 10.4.11.
The Search / Replace dialog used by every app is based on a tool delivered by Apple in the resources which apps may use so, an entry made in the dialog of apply A appear in the dialog of appli B. It may appear in more.
Look at these screenshots.
The first three share the same string to search.
They are from apps designed as word processor.
The two other share an other value.
They are from apps designed for developers.
It show us that there are two sets of tools used for the Search / Replace feature, both of them sharing datas between the applications.
Maybe this feature may be used for interesting things.
In the operating system, we have only one clipboard but thanks to the described feature, we may pass three strings between two operations with a single switch task.
It suffice
to fill the Search field,
to fill the Replace field
to fill the clipboard
from the source document.
Then in the target document,
paste the clipboard in the target doc,
grab the content of the Replace field an paste it in the target doc
grab the content of the Search field and paste in the target document.
So, what you describes as anannoying feature which end users like me and you can't change, may be described as an interesting and useful feature.
Just a matter of point of view (or of philosophy : I see the positive side, you see the negative one).

Then the next step would be to restore your phone. My advice is that prior to restoring you import your photos and videos to your computer and back up your contacts (by syncing them with iCloud or to a supported program on your computer using iTunes) as a number of users report losing these when restoring their device.

Well, if you didn't keep it in your iTunes library, on your computer, & then back that data up, you're out of luck if it's no longer available in the App store.
Apple warns to backup your purchases for this very reason.

Hi - I'm on a Mac - OSX 10.4.11 Trying to get DNG 6.7 installed. Says 'sucsessfull' but big line throght icon and app won't open. Previous DNG was 5.6 and was fine. Dragged it to trash to delete. and deleted trash. Then realised poss mistake and installed AppDelete and reinstaled 5.6 and draged to AppDelete - along with 6.7 then tried again to instal 6.7 but still no good. Any ideas what I can do? or where things have gone wrong and how can I fix? Thank you .

If this is a compatibility issue because you are using an older operating system then there isn't much you can do aside from updating your OS. Do you need DNG converter 6.7? You said that DNG converter 5.6 was working fine. You could reinstall it if it supports your camera.

My Creative Cloud icon is gone from the menu bar and the CC app will not open. I'm on OS 10.10.3. I've tried reinstalling and also various fixes suggested on this forum but to no avail. Incredibly frustrating to be paying monthly for a product that doesn't work.

Restart the machine in Safe Mode and attempt to open each app. Also please explain exactly how you are attempting to open the apps. For example, "When I click the Safari icon on the Dock it bounces but does not open." To start in Safe Mode hold down the Shift key when you hear the startup tone unitl a progress bar appears.

Hi,
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If after reboot that doesn't help...
Open Console in Applications>Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.

10.4.6 Preview.app, will not open

just installed Tiger, now the preview app will not open. Tried many things, new user, disk utility. I don't have much faith in erase and install, and I don't want to loose all my old app's that I don't have installers for. Anyone resolve this issue?
Thanks-
macbookpro Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Well - you could try re-installing it
Download Pacifist
http://www.charlessoft.com/
Open it and then put your 10.4 disc in the drive - select 'Open Mac OS X Install Packages' [wait a bit] - then 'Find' "Preview.app" - select the top one from the list in the panel that pops out and then click 'Install' at the top left and it will hopefully install it in the right place.
You could then re-install the 10.4.6 combo

Preview app will only open 20 images

Hi.
For me, the Preview app will only open 20 separate images at once. When I open the 21st image, it opens in the 'drawer' of the 20th image, as do subsequent images I open.
This is not the behaviour I want. I want to be able to open any number of images and have them exist within their own window. Preview in 10.1 I believe allowed this!
I am running 10.4.10 with Preview 3.0.9 (409).
Any and all help appreciated!!
- JD

John,
I was able to duplicate your problem. I messed with different sized pictures thinking it might be a memory problem, it was not. Also tried different preference settings, no luck. My conclusion is that 20 pictures is a limit imposed by the programers.

Your best bet is probably to start over by cleaning off the old software with the Adobe Cleaner tool:
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
Then reinstall from your original media, or download it here:

I have just downloaded a free app and there is no icon and it will not open from the list even tho it appears to have downloaded and the "open" button is available. Does not show up when I search for it. Plenty of memory . . .

I Have an iPad mini running iOS 7.1.2, I downloaded a new app and it's icon does not appear anywhere ( have ~ 180 apps so not at limit) and it won't open from the purchased apps list. It does not show up when I search for it so can't open t that way either. It doesn't require iOS 8. Can't delete and reinstall, cause not icon. This is not a normal "app won't open" question. it doesn't start the. Stop it just doesn't seem to exist. Any help is appreciated
