Icon previews missing on jpegs saved from Safari

This did not happen in Tiger and Safari 2. I always saw the icon preview of any jpegs dragged from a safari window to, say, the desktop ... now, in Leopard, I get the generic Photoshop symbol (jpegs are pref'd to open in PS). I can only get the icon preview of the image if I resave it in PS.
It's little thing but, it's frustrating as jpegs from the web usually have generic file names, so the preview comes in very handy for me. Yes, my view options are pref'd for icon preview. Thanks for your hep.

Hi Tim
I'm curious why dragging an image from the web to your desktop creates a jpg file with a Photoshop icon. OS X natively assigns this action to Preview. Either you previously changed the jpeg "open with" assignment in either in Leopard or prior to Photoshop, or a 3rd party application did it for you?
As I posted, if I drag an image from Safari to the desktop, the image icon appears rather than a generic icon. Here's the image file appearing on my desktop:
Here's a screenshot of that file on the desktop:
If I open the info panel to that file, this is what I see:
When you open the info panel, do you see an image in the Preview section or a generic icon?

Saving from Safari as PDF results in an icon with 0 byte volume that fails to open as it is "damaged" Why and how to solve?

saving from Safari as PDF results in an icon with 0 byte volume that fails to open as it is "damaged" Why and how to solve?

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
Allow Plug-ins
Then click
Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

Can't open files saved from Safari

In SL, I have a new problem with files that are saved from Safari.
I first noticed it with an Automator service I made, which took selected text and made a text file out of it. But I eventually discovered the problem seemed to be with Safari. Any time Safari saves a file -- if for example, I click a link and it downloads a .zip file, then there is something wrong with that file that prevents me from opening it in another app.
When I try to open the saved file, either by double-clicking in the Downloads window or from the Finder, the target app just starts bouncing in the dock and never opens. I have to force-quit it. If the target app is already open, it switches to it but never opens the document.
This is only for files that were saved by Safari. Other PDF's and zip's open just fine.
And, if I manually launch the target app, and then go to Open... and navigate to the saved document, I can open it fine.
Files saved from Safari seem to have something wrong with them. If I quit Safari, logout, or even reboot, they still refuse to open by double-clicking.
What could be causing this?

Reset safari

Go to Your HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins/ and remove to trash the "AdobePDFViewer.plugin".
Open Safari and a .pdf and it should now open with Preview in a Safari/Browser window.

PDFs saved from Safari won't open in Adobe Reader

PDFs saved from Safari won't open in Adobe Reader - damaged file
iMac late 2009 8Gb 3.06 Intel Core 2 Duo - Safari 6

I encountered the same problem and tried doing what Suzanne did by right clicking the file and saving it to the computer first and then opening it.
And then after double clicking the saved file windows prompted whether I want to open it with the newly installed Adobe reader 9.0 or with Microsoft Word. I chose the Adobe Reader 9.0 and clicked on the check box asking whether we always want to open this type of file using this program.
I managed to open the file and best of all is after that I was able to directly double click on the pdf email attachments to open it.
Seems like that we need to let windows associate the file type with the program first.

Preview won't open PDFs from Safari

If I try to open a PDF from Safari in Preview, the Preview icon just bounces in the dock. However, if I open a PDF that is already on my computer Preview opens with no issues.
Also, I can't get PDFs to download from Safari.
I checked settings and did a few searches but I found nothing. Have suggestions?

With Safari open click on 'Help' at the top of the screen.
Then click on installed plugins. Look for adobe or acrobat.
It may be that with safari, it is not trying to use preview?
Just a guess.

Archive saved from Safari, file full, won't open in Safari

I had a page open, and saved it as an archive from Safari 3.2.1 on a dual G4.
There's data in the archive file, looks fine, but it won't open in Safari - a new tab appears, but the page never fills with any data...
Any ideas?
Thanks

5.1 is buggy, and the Apple Support Software also has to be uninstalled - and downgraded.
Better off with 5.0.x for now.
There are a dozen threads+ about 5.1s issues.
You can also expect some extensions and plug-ins could also be trouble.
And manually clean out every sub folder in AppData with Safari (prefs, history, web, etc) when moving to a new version. Same with Firefox 5/6/etc
I'd make sure to use CCleaner 3.09 and make sure that cleans Safari.

Preview proxy icon missing when pdf opens from Safari

Hi, this was an older question which was not answered. The problem annoys me too (had to install skim for this single reason, even though I prefer preview for offline work). Here it is:
If I'm viewing a pdf inside safari and I right click on it and select "Open with Preview" Preview does indeed open the pdf but there is no proxy icon next to the pdf's title in the title bar. Preview in Tiger definitely did have one, the path to pdfs opened like this was something like ~/username/library/wekitpdfs/filename.pdf
Anyone know if there's a way to get my beloved proxy icon back, dragging the icon to the desired destination is faster than going through the save dialog.
Is this a Preview or Safari bug? Thank you for any insight on this

I very much doubt that this is the way things are meant to work. If I open the pdf in Safari and rightclick>open it with skim, Skim displays the proxy icon, as Preview used to.
Btw, the file's path still points to a tmp folder (webkitpdfs)
So this is either a bug in Safari or Preview (because it impairs functionality), or, hopefully, there's some hidden preference somewhere which you can change and reactivate the proxy icon.
Have you verified this as a Safari bug by checking that it works with FireFox?

Photos not saving from safari...or any other browser

I recently update my iPhone 5 to iOs 7 and now photos will not save from any browser app. I usually use iCab mobile as my browser but it was saying it didn't have permission to access my photos. So I went to privacy and it wasn't even available to give permission to. I decided it was iCab and then I went to chrome and tried to save a picture. I hit save image, but it didn't go anywhere. So I finally decided to try safari and the same thing yet again. Save image appears but doesn't seem to save anywhere. Am I missing some thing or is this some sort of bug?

Is the iPhone using your Mac to connect?
See if the Mac has any Proxies set...
10.5/10.6 instructions, System Preferences>choose interface>Advanced>Proxies Tab, make sure none are set, like for HTTPS.

Cannot open pdf files saved from Safari

I can read large pdf files from websites opened in Safari but when I save them and later try to open them with Adobe reader I get the following error message
Adobe Reader could not open 'ACOS-2013-final.pdf' because it is either not a supported file type or because the file has been damaged (for example, it was sent as an email attachment and wasn't correctly decoded).
This appears to only have happened when I installed the latest security update for the iMac

Possibly http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/pdf-error-1015-11001-update.html

I cannot get Preview to open PDF's from Safari

I know there is a way to change the settings so that the icons will appear at the bottom of the screen, but it seems that after every update, I have to figure out how to do this again. Please advise.

Sorry, none of that worked. Its very frustrating.
Also, since the last upgrade, which seems almost automatic, half of the icons for my bookmarks and actual websites have disappeared.
I haven't upgraded to Mac OS Lion, is that part of these problems?

Jpeg thumbnails too small when saved from Photoshop

Since moving to Snow Leopard, I notice that the Finder shows jpegs saved from Photoshop quite a bit smaller than jpegs saved using other apps, like Preview or just scanned images. This makes viewing the thumbnails in the Finder harder. Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?
I would post a screen grab to show this, but I can't see how to do that here. If anyone knows, please let me know.
Thanks

That's because Photoshop creates its own rather smallish icons (by the new standards) for the files. If you remove custom thumbnails and let Finder draw them they'll be scalable all the way up to 512x512. There is a preference from within Photoshop to tell it to NOT create icons. Go to PS prefs, select Saving Files, and turn off Image Previews. The advantage is that the icons can be drawn larger; the disadvantage is that they will appear in Finder more slowly, since instead of simply displaying what is there Finder has to draw the icons. Furthermore, Finder doesn't always draw the icons with the clarity one would expect: sometimes they never do appear as sharp as they ought to be (there are several very lengthy threads discussing this problem, with no real solution), sometimes they slowly appear in all their large glory.
Oh, and to post a picture, as in my signature, you have to have the image available somewhere online, then add an image tag.

Using mail on Ipad only a blanc window will be displayed. After 10 sec the window is automatically closed and the app icon will be displayed.
Redirecting from safari to other mail adress works witout problems. Known Problem?

Try to force quit your mail app. Double tap the home button. You'll see the app icons and previews on the screen. Scroll sideways if needed to bring the mail app up on the screen. Flick the preview up and off the screen to close the app. Tap on the home screen preview to exit the mode.
Try to open your mail again and see if it works.

Photos become blurry when saved on safari

Hi,
I am using the 32GB iTouch, and whenever I use Safari and find an image I want to save, it usually is blurred and very low quality. Almost like it saved a thumbnail instead of the full resolution image.
On a rare occasion, the photo might come out clear and in full resolution, while many don't.
I was unsure why the photos saved from Safari are low quality thumbs, was it meant to be this way? is there any way to make the itouch save the full resolution image, rather then a thumbnail of the image?
Thanks.

Firstly it doesn't matter what size the image is, even if it's the standard ipod touch screen size, it will still display blurry. It's a bug. This is a pathetic limitation and should be an embarrassment to the company.
Secondly, the issue happens even when you've saved the image from Mail. That being said, if you were to open up Twinkle, and share this blurry photo with the world, they will see it as clear and perfect as all getup. Then if you go and look at your photo in Twinkle you will see that the image is clear, and yet still blurred in your photo container on the ipod.
You're trying to tell me that this thing that can support running 3d applications and games is so inferior that it can't display a image without time traveling back to 1988?
Give me a break, Apple better fix this. It makes them look cheap.

How do I delete cookies from Safari 8.0 without the GUI?

I have Safari 8.0 (10600.1.25.1) on OS X 10.10.1 (14B25) (Yosemite). When I quit Safari completely (actually quit, not just close the window), and delete the following things using the following.
rm -r ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/
rm -r ~/Library/Cookies
rm -r ~/Library/Safari
When I restart Safari, the cookies are still there and I'm still logged in to a website that stored a cookie after login.
Which files do I need to delete or what do I have to do to get Safari to actually delete the cookies?
I need to be able to move/rename the files/directories and then move them back at a later time...
thanks!

You should be able to export bookmarks from Safari by using File > Export Bookmarks and choosing where to put the file. Then open Firefox bookmarks window from "Show All Bookmarks" and import the file you saved from Safari.
