In Preview, I suddenly am unable to get the "Adjust Color" tool panel to edit images. I just get the rectangular image selection tool instead. How do I ge the "Adjust Color" tool panel back?

Hmmm, I wonder if that window is hidden or off screen? Have you moved the pic window around to look under it?
Might try this...
Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), use Disk Utility from there to Repair Permissions.
Then move these files to the Desktop for now...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.recentitems.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.plist
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.bookmarks.plist
Reboot & test.
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.

  • Hi, I loaded an iTunes card and bought an audiobook a few weeks back! I was unable to download it because my wifi was down, my wifi has just been fixed but now my audiobook purchase is not available but the cash has been taken? Any ideas how to solve this

    When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive.  It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas?  I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

    Just purchased CC2015 Lightroom & Photoshop following a 30 day free trial. All worked well during the trial but now I have subscribed to the plan and downloaded the latest LR version I am unable to zoom into the images and just get a constant 'loading' box and spinning circle. Also, the whole system is very slow - very frustrating! Any ideas? I am running it on Windows 8.

  • After getting an update from 10.6.8 many of my programs were no longer able to open. How can I undo the update or solve this problem another way?

    After getting an update from 10.6.8 many of my programs were no longer able to open. How can I undo the update or solve this problem another way?

    Do you have a bootable clone from prior to the update? If so, roll back with that.
    Are your apps that won't open PPC and do they need Rosetta? Do you need to activate Rosetta?
    Have you considered reinstalling 10.6 from your install disc and then coming forward with the 10.6.8 Combo Updater, then doing software update and not including whatever it was you installed that caused this propblem?
    By the way - what update was it that caused this problem?

  • What is the best Computer for HD video editing where can I get it under $3000-5000? Thank you!

    What is the best Computer for HD video editing where can I get it under $3000- $5000.00?

    The wording of your question suggests you may be new to video editing, in which case the types of projects you will be doing may not be the most complex.
    Please accept my apology if that assumption is incorrect.
    The cheapest computer available will edit 1080p video perfectly well but if you must have the "best" you will be looking at nothing less than a MacPro.
    Too many people get hung up about the equipment they use  and blame it for any inadequacies  .  .  .  when the most important component is the operator.

  • I can't import images, I just get a dashed frame.

    I have been using iPhoto since version 1.0 and have very rarely ran into trouble. But all of the sudden I can't import pictures anylonger!
    During import I can see the pictures as previews... but as soon as it is done importing I only see a dashed line as a frame. Everytime I open iPhoto it tells me that I have "x photos in my library that aren't imported." And it asks me if I want to import... When I say yes, iPhoto imports them again (as before, with preview) and makes a new album called "rescued images", but they are still empty/dashed frames.
    Every now and then when I open iPhoto, it also asks me to update the thumbnails, when I click yes it is busy for a while but the problem remains.
    I cant edit them, neither in iPhoto or extrenal editor. I can't show original or show file. I can't make emails out of the imported images.
    The rest of the Library works fine... but nothing new can be imported. Niether draging or importing through camera works. Current version that I am using is 6.0.3.
    Please help me!
    Thank you.

    Am I the only one with this problem???

  • Does an ipad have any storage?  Basically looking to eliminate DVD's and just use the storage on my movies (in iTunes) could I just get an external hard drive or what is the basic purpose selling point on this apple tv?

    i would ideally like to not use all my macbooks memory either and we have an xbox so all the streaming for like netflix we can do on this.  I guess thats why I'm wondering if it is a better idea and if it is possible for us to just utilize an external hard drive.  And if we do that will i have more space on my computer?

    it'll work ... if done properly ☞
    copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music or media folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music on your Mac to the external, then launch iTunes while holding the option (⌥) key, click on choose library when prompted, and select the iTunes folder on the external.
    if I already have my iTunes going to the incorrect files how is it going to find the correct files again.
    you could try if this script helps:
    iTunes Track CPR v1.3 
    This script attempts to locate the files of so-called "dead tracks"--iTunes tracks designated with (!)--that you assume are not actually missing but are still located in the iTunes Music folder in their "iTunes File Order" (Music -> Artist -> Album -> file.xxx)."
    Eric Ross wrote:
    When you moved the file back did you go back into iTunes in your preferences and select the advance tab and then selected the location again or where your files are
    the iTunes media folder location in preferences > advanced tells iTunes where to put new additions to your library, not where your content currently is.

  • Instead of getting a gift card for my trade in, can I just get the cash?

    Can I just get cash instead of a gift card for my trade in?

    I don't know. Can you get cash for your car if you trade it in rather than a discounted price on the new car? Go to your local Apple Store and ask.
    I wish you the best of luck.

  • Updated to Mavericks and the new version of iPhoto starts to install but just gets to 10.2MB and starts all over and then comes up with an error message

    I installed Mavericks to my computer and iPhoto isn’t working it has a grey no working symbol over it.  So I tried to download the new version of iPhoto but it starts to download and just gets to 10.2MB and starts all over after about 3 mins of doing this it comes up with an error message saying  an error had occurred.  I have tried downloading several times restarting the computer and downloading and still get the same thing over and over again.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  • After upgrading to the latest Firefox (3.6.6) today, the browser will no longer open any websites, I just get a blank page

    After upgrading to the latest version of FF, I can no longer access any webpages. The IE browser does work though.

    I had to go back to the last install file I had on hand, which was 3.0.9 because FF "denied proxy" after upgrading. Once I get that message, the program won't even open until I install an older version. Upgrading again yields the same results.

    Not possible, and since the Restrictions Passcode is included with your iPhone's backup, you must restore the iPhone as a new iPhone or not from the backup.
