Missing Cove Flow & Quick Look from Finder once they went "up in smoke"

I installed Leopard today on my iMac and will messing around managed to loose both my Cover Flow and Quick Look icons in the Finder and can't find where they are on my computer (have looked everywhere including Applications). Anyone know how to retrieve them once they go "Up In Smoke"
Thanks

I'm posting this image only so we are speaking about the same thing and are clear. If you drag the icon set back to the toolbar the items will not update? If so, please send Feedback to Apple about this problem.
Regards,

  • Cover Flow, Quick Look and Finder icons ignore ICC color profiles

    ... and that really bothers me!
    As a photographer, I tend to save photos with different color profiles embedded in them. Sometimes it's Adobe RGB, sometimes sRGB, sometimes Generic RGB (don't ask).
    Aside from the apps that HAVE TO regard color profiles (Aperture, Photoshop etc), I was under the impression that color consistency is important throughout OS X. I am satisfied that Safari and Preview fully support color profiles, and that is why I am appalled that Cover Flow and Quick Look (my favorite feature in Leopard) do not! How do I know? It's in the plain eye sight.
    Apple... FIX THIS, PLEASE!

    If it's an issue that you feel needs their attention, I'd submit feedback to Apple directly, as they have no employees dedicated to reading these forums. Go to http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html/ to send your request.

  • Question: Quick Look in Finder; problems with alpha channels

    Hi
    "Quick look" in Finder is great for quick presentations of a folders selected contents but it only works with images that contains no alpha channels or masks. Is there any way to work around this to display say PhotoShop documents with alpha channels? Or any plug-ins/applications that can help?
    thanks.

    This has been broken forever in OS X, and I don't know why, because it used to work just fine. I suspect the engineers did something to QuickTime that causes this problem, but it has been borked for so long I don't remember when the ability to correctly display files went wrong. I just remember that once upon a time all sorts of things from Apple worked correctly in displaying such files, but pretty much nothing does now. This includes the Finder, Preview, QuickLook, and various third-party image browsers that use Apple's own system level image handling abilities, such as VitaminSee or CocoaViewX. When I need to actually see what's there, I browse with Adobe's Bridge.

  • A lot of my pictures are in I Photo and also in Finder.  Can I delete them from finder?  They are taking up a lot of room.

    A lot of my pictures are in I Photo and also in Finder.  Can I delete them from finder?  They are taking up a lot of room.

    Just make certain that the "Originals" or "Masters" are in your iPhoto Library before you trash the images.
    You can find out by selecting the iPhoto Library file with the control key held down, then open the Library (which is, actually, a folder). You'll see a folder named "Originals" or "Masters" and you can check there to make certain that you have all of the high-res images in your iPhoto Library. If you do, you can safely trash the original files, although I would, if it were me, make an archive of the images before trashing (either on an external HD or on archival DVDs).
    Make sense?

  • Pages/Numbers 4.3 documents won't show Quick Look in Finder anymore?

    After being dissatisfied with the features and presentation of Pages and Numbers 5.0, I removed both apps from my Mac Mini—running Mavericks—and went back to using Pages/Numbers 4.3. However, I noticed that Finder no longer provided a Quick Look of either type of document (it just shows the generic Pages/Numbers 4.3 icon instead of content), even though they will open without a problem in the 4.3 apps. A few days later, I decided to downgrade to Mountain Lion—due to Mavericks performance issues—figuring it would fix the Quick Look issue, but it still persists. All other documents—images, video, PDFS, etc. Quick Look just fine.
    Any suggestions on how to get back Quick Look for my Pages/Numbers documents?

    It sounds like they are not Pages '09 files, they are files you have saved in Pages 5.2.
    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed 110 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

  • TS1468 I am having trouble with two cover flows duplicating themselves more than once, is there anyone out there that can help me with this, they are not duplicated in my itunes library, just the ipod.

    I am having trouble with two cover flows on my IPOD, duplicating themselves more than once, they haven't duplicated themselves in my Itunes library, just the ipod, could anyone have any ideas on how I could fix this problem. I have tried so many times, even if I restore the ipod, it still does the same thing. Please if possible email me at [email protected] with any suggestions.

    Aha! I have sorted it.
    For those with similar problems, the solution is this:
    Macintosh HD > Library > Audio > MIDI Drivers
    Then delete DigiDioMidiDriver.plugin

  • I miss cover flow.  I will pay money to get it back.  Please help.

    My life revolves around music.  I am devastated by the degraded life I am facing due to my misinformed "upgrading" of iTunes 10.7 with iTunes 11.  I have been a loyal consumer of Apple products since the early 1980's.  I would gladly shed a couple of hundred dollars or more to get back cover flow.  I feel like the visual part of my extensive music library has been stripped away.  I want those covers back!

    Ditto to that, just got a new iPod and I have a vast libary of music and CDs that I burned into iTunes beause it was easy to use and convient now Apple takes away features. At least bring Cover Flow back as a feature you can turn on or off, just don't omit it and don't tell anyone.  I like visual as well this is like being lost in a sea of crap and you can't see 3 feet in front of you!!  Please Bring it back!
    Now I got 30 Albums staring at me via my 27" screen and now way to quickly access some thing.  ARGH!!!!!!! I hate it when companies pull the socialist agenda!

  • How to change Cover Flow background color in finder?

    I realize that there's (as far as I can tell) no way to do this via the GUI, I'd welcome any more creative suggestions too.
    My wife uses software called TruEmbroidery to create and edit designs for her sewing machine.   She likes to use the cover flow view to browse her files - BUT many designs' "previews" consist largely of dark colors and alpha (transparency).   Hence, the dark default background of cover flow makes them hard to discern.
    Is there any way - however creative - to change it?   I found this terminal command (below) on another forum, but it doesn't seem to work in Mountain Lion.
    defaults write com.apple.Finder IKImageFlowBackgroundColor 255,255,255

    sorry could not get the alternative to execute either,  so I removed it.

  • Cover Flow image different from

    Most of the time, the album artwork in Cover Flow is identical to that on the thumbnail image in the bottom left corner of my screen (sorry - don't know the correct term for it). However, on occasional tracks they're different.
    I think I know why, but don't know what to do about it...
    I have a huge collection of old singles that I digitised. There being no album title, I created one called Singles and it keeps them all together. The thumbnail image always varies with the track but the Cover Flow image only displays the artwork of the first track by that particular artist (so for example, the Cover Flow artwork for all Elvis Presley singles is the same, and it's the first one in the list).
    I'd be grateful for any ideas for how I can correct this?

    Well, I'd have to set something up like that to check....but I don't have a bunch of singles hanging around.
    The closest I have to it is Tori Amos' +Strange Little Girls+. Each track has a different picture on the actual CD, so I scanned those in.
    Cover flow shows the artwork from track 1. The other tracks only show their specific artwork when they are selected, and only becaue I went to the artwork tab and dragged around the images so the one I wanted was first in thebox.

  • History Items (Cover Flow) Quick Question

    What's the maximum amount of history items that can be in the Cover Flow? Personally, I like most as possible.

    I'm not sure. The most I've had in a single day (in my histories so far) is 144. May get up past that today. So that sets a lower limit on "how big", I guess.

  • Cover Flow, Finder, Get Info icon dilemma

    I was using Cover Flow to look at some photos. I clicked Cmd-I to Get Info in order to use the drop down menu there to change the default application to open one of the images from Preview to Photoshop. Once I did this the photo no longer displayed in Cover Flow. What I saw instead was a default jpeg icon. The icon of the image also changed in the Finder from an icon of the actual image to a default jpeg icon.
    Seems like there are some glitches here. Can anybody duplicate this problem. Is there a known fix? Thanks.

    Well, that is certainly strange! I tried it and sure enough I got exactly the same results. Which is truly weird because I have many Photoshop jpegs that do not have custom icons, and they display an icon in Finder perfectly well. And, of course, so do generic jpegs. But if you change a generic jpeg to open in Photoshop Finder stops drawing the icon. Furthermore, when I changed it back to open in Preview it did not recover--it continued to display the generic Photoshop jpec icon. Nothing I did would make Finder display a custom icon for the file. I even quit and relaunched Finder to no avail. The only thing that worked was to use my Automator workflow to give it a custom icon. Looks like a bug to me. Send feedback to Apple:

    Truly odd behavior.

  • Carousel View Better Than Cover Flow For The Finder?

    I have been using my .Mac Web Gallery quite a bit lately and I love the new and improved Carousel view. Apple keeps updating it (they added reflections, a nice play/pause scroll bar, and now you can use the scroll wheel (or ball) on your mouse just like Cover Flow in iTunes and the Finder) making it better and better and it has gotten to the point where I think it would make a lot more sense (and look nicer) for Apple to implement it in the Finder in place of Cover Flow. Cover Flow works perfectly for iTunes still (as that's what it was intended for) and I think that it's "Ok" in the Finder in Leopard, but now that Apple has cleaned up the Carousel view so much in the .Mac Web Gallery, I can see it looking PERFECT in the Finder in Leopard. For anyone who's used or seen the Cover Flow view in the Finder, you'll realize what I mean when I say that it's "Ok". The problem with it is that most of the dynamically generated icons in Leopard are not nice squares like the albums in iTunes so the icons off to the sides of the center one look skewed and distorted. The Carousel view would fix that problem while retaining the benefits of the Cover Flow view and, from what I can see, would actually enhance the benefits because the side icons would be easier to see as they are not skewed. All I'm suggesting is for Apple to swap out the Cover Flow view in the Finder for the Carousel view and then the Finder would really SHINE! So, my question to any of you is, "Would you vote for the Carousel view to replace the Cover Flow view in the Finder?" Please let me know any of your ideas or suggestions. Thanks.

    I made a newer post about this same topic (trying to be a little more strategic) and this time I included a link to a video demonstrating my point. Here's the post http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6574743#6574743.
    I couldn't agree with you more on the custom folder icon issues. I'm beginning to find out what the problem is on that. I have used the newest version of Candy Bar for my Home directory icons and that works fine, but there are some folders that I want to use a different icon for and leave the rest as they are. Candy Bar can't do this for me (as it only works with the generic icons) and so I used Apple's Icon Composer application (in the Developer Tools) to make the correct icon sizes for Leopard and then saved them as .icns but then copying and pasting that on a folder would result in the default ICNS icon and not my custom icon (that was under 10.5.1). So I finally got the custom icon to appear, but it only works for sizes 128x128 and lower, even though I put a 512X512 version in there. That's why it doesn't show up in Cover Flow. For some reason, Leopard "blacks" out anything larger than 128x128 on "Cut and Paste" icons. I found that out by copying my custom icon from the Get Info panel and then opening that in Preview and it shows a black background for the larger icons instead of the alpha channel. I'm still trying to figure this out. Also, IconBuilder seems to be doing the same thing (making and ICNS file) but it seems to work better. I haven't used that since I've upgraded to Leopard but from what I've read it should work, but I don't have Photoshop right now. Well, thanks for posting and agreeing with me on the Carousel view and I hope you check out my video. Thanks.

  • Cover flow view in finder not displaying proper

    Since I updated to Mavericks my cover flow view in the finder is showing the wrong document, usually the document right before or after the one I'm actually clicked on. How do I fix this?

    No, there is no preference setting available to change that.
    Best.
