Lost Preview, help!

My mom deleted Preview (she is a newbie). Is there any way to reinstall Preview without having to use the original installation DVD?
I would go to her house and do it for her but we live 200 miles apart and I would like to solve this online.
thanks!

Are you not in possession of the install DVD? That would of course be the best way, in conjunction with something like Pacifist.
Did she empty the trash -- perhaps it's still on her machine?
If these aren't options, and assuming she only deleted the application itself, and assuming you two are running similar versions of OS X, you could package up your Preview directories and unpack them on her machine. You should be careful to preserve file permissions and ensure that file/group ownership is correct for her system.

    Question:  I am new to LR and have it set up on a Mac desktop and laptop.  On the laptop, the Basic function under Develop simply disappeared.  I am lost.  Help.

    It's a common issue. The Basic panel is merely hidden.
    Hiding/unhiding panels is actually a feature of Lightroom but it is unintuitive - few people know it exists - so most newcomers are thrown when a panel somehow gets hidden.
    Right-click anywhere in the right hand side panel area and a context menu will appear.
    Click the Basic option to make the Basic panel re-appear.

    Hi All, I plugged my iPhone into my laptop and I was asked to upgrade my iTunes software. It took more than seven hours and just to be told that my SIM card does not appear to be supported. Since then I can not use my iPhone. I am lost plse help. Jam53
    Every time I switch on the iPhone, the iTunes icon is displayed together with a USB icon and Emergency call message appears on the screen in many languages. When I touch the i symbol I get the following information IMEI: **** AND ICCID: ****
    However, the iphone is visible in the Devices directory in iTunes. I changed my SIM card but still can not be recognized by the iPhone.

    Do you mean when you say its locked to another carrier other then the one im using, that maybe my insurance sent me an iphone thats for a different network for example orange and not mine which is o2?

  • Cell background colors are not showing in preview - help? - DW4

    Hi,
    I created a horizontal table for my menu bar, and gave each cell a different color by creating a separate class for each with background image - image is a block of color created in Photoshop. In design mode they look they way I want, but in preview (Safari) the colors don't show up at all - the whole area is gray, and all I see is the text for each cell. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Alternatively, is there a better way I can set this up to have different colors for each button?
    Thank you!

    Here is the HTML code, and the CSS code for the menu bar follows: 
         ul.MenuBarHorizontal           
    ></style><style type="text/css"><!body {     background-color: #FFF;     font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;}-->
        h1.

    It sounds like you might be using two different applications for taking notes.  That could get confusing. Have a look at this tutorial on using the Notes application that comes with iPad.

  • Lost Previews, Masters remain, Rebuild isn't helping

    In attempt to repair a Dropbox issue, I pulled out the Preview and Thumbnail folders to my desktop and then rebuilt iPhoto.
    Most of my photos are still visible in iPhoto but there are a lot that are missing. I only see the outline of the image that should be there. I can go to File > Show in Finder > Original / Modified and the image is shown in Finder.
    If I drag the previous Preview and Thumbnail folders back in to iPhoto (via show package contents) then all my images return again. The difference is over 2GB though so I'd like to have it rebuilt and consolidated as much as possible.
    Any ideas?

    Think of it this way:
    I open the bonnet of my car. I yank out a few pieces. My car won't start.
    So I put the pieces back. The car starts.
    That suggests that the pieces are important to the working of the car, no?
    Similarly with the iPhoto Library: Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
    What exactly are you trying to achieve?
    Regards
    TD

  • Preview - lost document; help!

    I was annotating a document in Preview, which I then closed down, saving the document. Now I can't find the document again, somehow (perhaps I saved it to the wrong folder by mistake), and it doesn't appear in the list of documents under "File>Open Recent" since I had quite a few windows open at the time. Is there any way of getting a longer "recent documents" list so I can locate it?

    You could try doing a Command-F search:
    1. Open a Finder window for the drive
    2. Hit Command-F and from the View select as List, make sure the list view has a Date Modified column, if not use Command-J and check the box for Date Modified
    3. Click the Date Modified column so the results will sort that way
    4. If you can remember the name, or at least the first part of it, select Name from the drop down menu, Contains, then enter what you remember
    5. Results should start appearing, and your file should be near the top
    If you don't remember the name, you could try Kind instead and, presuming it was a PDF, select that from the kind's second drop down menu.

  • Lost Preview monitor in log & Transfer

    Hi,
    I'm logging footage in Log & Transfer and have lost my preview monitor. All footage is there.Can anyone help?
    Jeff

    Hi -
    Are you trying to import XDCam footage from a camera storage card? Log and Transfer is not the way to do it.
    You need to use Sony's XDCam transfer software to import the footage.
    Some of the clips show partial, because they are larger than the file size limit of the card, and the complete clip spans multiple individual files - if you use the Sony XDCam software, it will join the partial clips automatically.
    Unless I misunderstand what you are doing . . . .

  • Lost previews

    Help! Only just started using Aperture but somehow I've lost the preview images in Aperture. Just got lots of black outline boxes. Clicking on a box does bring up the original picture but no previews. Tried the Generating Thumbnails option but no difference. Any ideas please? Thanks. Kev

    Couldn't find posts with exactly the same problem. But I found the solution is to re-import all your photos and create a new library from scratch - which does take a long time. Problem seems to have arisen because I did a lot of importing of photos whilst in TRIAL mode before purchasing the FULL mode.
