Mail 3.6 (on MacOS 10.5.7) doesn't display 'Save' and 'Quick Look' buttons

I have recently updated to MacOS 10.5.7 and discovered a strange glitch in viewing certain emails with attachments. For a small minority of emails with attachments, the 'paperclip' icon appears in the mail list, indicating the presence of an attachment, but neither the icon for the attachment nor the 'save' and 'quick look' buttons appear. Options to save the attachment or quick look the attachment under the File menu do work.
Clearly the attachment is there but Apple Mail 3.6 doesn't know how to indicate it. This inconsistency in the interface's feedback about attachments has been very irritating.
Remedies I have attempted thus far:
• Rebuilding the mail box (no change)
• Disabling all Mail extensions (bundles)
• Examining the raw mail code (nothing obvious wrong, but I am not an expert).
The problem is currently present for some Microsoft Word file attachments, but I have no clue if it is limited to just those attachments.
I will note the latest email with this failure to display attachments was sent by a colleague using Apple Mail on an iPod Touch, so I can't believe it is a mangled attachment. It is not limited to a single sender, so again, no reason to believe mangled attachments.
I would really appreciate any suggestions for how to fix this...

I disabled the mail extensions by removing them from the ~/Library/Mail/Bundles/ directory. I didn't think the mail extensions could get patched into Mail.app by any other means, but if you care to clarify I would appreciate it.

"Save" and "Quick Look" buttons not showing in Apple Mail

Dear list members, in Apple Mail on my new iMac, the buttons "Save" and "Quick Look" are not showing in the messages. That's very odd, because I can see those buttons in my old mac normally. I tried one solution proposed in another thread (Mail>Preferences>View>Details>All) but it didn't work. Could you please help me? Thank you.

Sorry, if I'm mistaken, but I thought this was the OSX forum. In my title bar, I see:

Missing quick swipe buttons on takes folders.

I recorded a few tracks and discovered the missing buttons when trying a quick swipe to compose a track in Logic X. Anyone else experiencing this?

Okay! That was a typo (That meant folders), however, menubar and dock are not missing. Its the indicators on the buttons that are missing. In sense the arrows on the forward/backward buttons in Safari (the ones on the left side top) and the speaker symbol on the menu bar (its hidden) as the sound adgustment part works fine, except for the indicaor which has disappeared for some reason.
And, is there any other alternative apart from using Repair-disk? As it doesn't solve the problem.
Anyways thanks Sig!

Visualización de Quick Look

Mi Macbook Pro 15' de 2009 corre actualmente con OS X Lion 10.7.3. mi duda viene a que hasta hace poco la función Quicklook o Vista Rápida (clickear la barra espaciadora sobre un ícono en Finder) funcionaba igual que en cualquier otro MacBook, y repentinamente, o por algun cambio que hice sin darme cuenta, ahora cuando utilizo esa función, se me presenta una ventana mucho más compacta que la que solía aparecer, he buscado por todos lados como dejarla como venía y no he encontrado respuesta.

Ahora:

Um ... Your profile says you are using OS10.4. On the assumption you are actually using Leopard:
The easiest way to invoke Quick Look is to select the file and hit the spacebar.
The Quick Look toolbar icon looks like an eye. Right click on the toolbar at the top of any Finder Window and choose Customize Toolbar from the resulting menu. You should see a Quick Look button in the drop down pane. Drag it to where you want it on the toolbar and click Done.

Quick Look taking FOREVER after upgrading to Lion

Hey everyone. I have a mid-2008 24" iMac running with 4GB of memory. I recently upgraded to Lion and almost everything seems to be working great. One thing that is not working, however is Quick Look which is really not working at all. Back on Leopard or Snow Leopard, I would open up a folder full of jpgs, hit the Quick Look button and a preview of the picture would pop right up. I could then even arrow through the folder with each picture showing right up.
On Lion, this is not the case. I open a folder or picture files now, hit the Quick Look button and the picture comes up after about 30 seconds. Now, when I arrow around, the title for the Quick Look window changes but the new pictures never come up. Is anyone else having this problem? This is very frustrating and I am not sure why this feature the older OSs worked fine a but not now. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Hi,
I got the same issue with my 2007 imac with 4gb ram, in the dowload & document folder on the dock it doesn't load the icons anymore, useto work before untill today after i upgraded my ram, dunno if that could be the issue, could it be?
Thanks..

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,

Re-installing quick launch button functionality on DV8T

Is there a particular set of installs which recovers all of the functionality of the HP Quick Launch buttons?
Here's the deal:
On a Pavilion DV8T-1000 CTO laptop, I've added a second hard drive, an SSD, which is in the primary bay. The original drive is in the secondary bay. Since the HP recovery media would not recover to the new SSD (slightly smaller than the original drive, so the recovery software gets pissy about it), I installed Win7 Pro from scratch, and loaded all the current drivers from the support page for this particular model laptop.
Most of the system functionality was returned, but I found that the quick launch buttons weren't behaving as I expected. The wireless indicator didn't show blue (at all) when wifi is on, but did turn orange when it is off. The mute button was always white, even when the computer is muted. The volume didn't show the on-screen volume display. The tone control would only show a goofed-up version of the on-screen display (bar area with random vertical lines which moved when I used the tone control slider). The DVD eject button didn't work, and neither did the DVD play buttons.
Now note: I did do a quick launch button firmware update during this whole upgrade process. At first, I thought that might be the problem. Then I put the original drive back as the boot drive, and found that most of the original functionality was still there (except for the wifi light still isn't turning blue when wifi is on... is only off).
I put the SSD back as the boot drive again, and started looking for things I might have missed. I had the tone control software installed, and the quick launch button driver software. Apparently that wasn't enough. I found the SmartMenu software and installed it, and then I had the on-screen display working for mute, volume, and tone control... but the mute button is still always white (never goes orange when the system is muted). And there is still no DVD transport or eject control.
Since this works with the original drive, this shows that this is not a hardware issue (otherwise, it wouldn't work for either drive). It is obviously a driver/software/configuration problem. But there doesn't seem to be one program or driver install which provides all the needed/wanted/desired function... not even two or three installs. (and I still don't know why the wi-fi button isn't turning blue like it did before I did the firmware upgrade... which, unfortunately, I can't undo as older firmware versions aren't available to download).
How does somebody get all the original quick launch button (the capacitive button bar above the keyboard) back?

Have you tried installing the Quick Launch button software from the following weblink:

Some Pages documents do not show up in Quick Look properly

After upgrading to Yosemite, when hitting the Space button on some Pages docs to see them in Quick Look, all I get is a thumbnail of the doc next to it's title, last modification and size. This is not the issue with all Pages docs, but only with some. Other Pages docs will open in Quick Look just fine and I can scroll and read through them perfectly.
I completely don't understand why some Pages documents won't open in Quick Look, and some others do. I'm running on a 13" Retina Macbook Pro.

AVI=no Audio QT, BUT audio in QUICK LOOK - Perian INSTALLED!

New to avi movies.
Installed PERIAN after having no sound, still no sound in QT. (7.4.1)
Updated to latest QT= still no audio.
If I use QUICK LOOK, sound is fine. Sort of weird, quick look is like the PC in that it plays and opens anything whereas some apple apps by themselves do not.
Advice appreciated. Leopard 10.5.2
Frustrating when QT says its missing a component only to go to a website where it doesn't say "which" plug in is missing - I could promise that there was a day (way back when), when the mac would tell you what was missing.
Advice please.
Thank you.

*A few suggestions:*
Repair permissions & restart.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=300832 Mac OS X: No audio from certain multimedia content
Trick/Tip: Open up GarageBand if installed then, open a program (optional).
Quit out of the GarageBand app.
Install VLC Media Player.

Mail quick look docx links no longer work

After upgrading the OS on my 2-year-old MacBook Pro to Yosemite (10.10) and also the new Mail update (8.0), I have lost a small, but very useful (to me) functionality. When someone sends me a .docx attachment in my email, I usually press the spacebar for quick look. Then, if there are links in the document, I can click on them, Safari opens an goes to the linked webpage. Now after the upgrades, I press the spacebar for quick look, and when hovering the pointer over a link the pointer changes as expected to the "hand" for clicking links, but when clicked nothing happens. Safari doesn't open, no webpage comes up. It's as if I never clicked anything.

Have your tried resetting your iPad?
Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the
Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Apple mail - Quick look crash

When i open an attachment in Apple Mail 7.2 with the Quick look function. (Cmd+Y) and click the 'Open with ......' button Mail crashes.
I tried different default applications; Adobe Reader, Preview with Pdf attachments and Photoshop, Preview with jpg-attachments.
I created a new user and set up my mail account, tried to open attachments with the same result.
Repair permissions didn't help either.
Hopefully someone knows a solution.
Thanks.

Same for me. I noticed this already when I installed Lion early 2012. Then I went back to Snow Leopard. Now I have just installed Maverick and it's exactly the same.
Thus, the issue is old and I assume Apple must be aware of it.

What is the use of plus (+) icon on Quick Look?

When select a file in finder and press <spacebar> for Quick Look, I see a new icon next to the (x) close icon. What is the purpose of that? I clicked on it and nothing happened.

It does exactly the same thing as all the other plus buttons in OS X, it makes the window big enough to see all of the content. To illustrate, drag the corner of the quicklook window to make the window too small for the content, then click the plus button to put it right.

Quick launch buttons and touch functions not working post win7 upgrade

I have several problems that I think are related.
1) When I rotate the screen and then bring it close (as in flat) to the keyboard, the screen goes blank. There is no key combination I can find that restores the screen. Putting it back in notebook orientation doesn't do anything either. Only thing to do is a hard reboot.
2) the quick launch buttons on the screen edge are not functioning as follows:
a) the hp mediasmart button (the one with the wave) doesn't work
b) the screen rotation button produces the same problem as 1) above
c) the third button which looks like either gears or a sun (I don't know what it should do) brings up the windows mobility center, where I have found problem number:
3) On tablet PC settings, the display tab, there is one display: 1. mobile PC display
on the same tab, there is a setup button. The next screen says:
pen input
touch input
Regardless which one I select, on the following screen (where it says Press this screen with ....) when I press with either my finger or the pen, nothing happens. Which seems like either:
it thinks another screen is active or
the touch components are completely non functional.
4) Not surprising, the touch functions are completely non-functional
I have installed all of the drivers for this TX2-1025dx for Win7(64bit) per the HP support/drivers page.
Not all of them resulted in a clean install.
Here are other drivers that I had problems with (meaning that I got an error message, it failed, it had to be done more than once, something else broke, etc.)
AMD AHCI - started catalyst installer then failed
Authentic fingerprint driver - "dpinst64 not marked for installation"
Ntrig Duosense - had to do this one multiple times to get the fingerprint reader to work
HP Mediasmart MVP - hung in CMD
I have checked that all of the startup services are actually enabled in msconfig including quick launch buttons, hpwuschd, and media smart. Nothing is disabled in services.
I have reinstalled the quick launch buttons driver for this product from December 2009. (There is an earlier version from November.)
I installed the bios upgrade (before win7, actually) it is currently F.25
I have also eliminated EMF possibilities.
I have searched the forums, and while I have found some interesting clues, I don't see anything like this - at least with a solution.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as this thing is quite useless to me as it currently functions. It is not a tablet anymore.
TIA

[knock knock] Helloooooo??!!??
Installed 6.50.9.1, which is in between the last two quick launch button (QLB) drivers (that did not work). Also fixed the lightscribe and mediasmart DVD installs. Same problems, no touch or pen, and a new bug I discovered with qlb
First, if you search for tablet in the start menu, there is a selection to set the tablet buttons to perform certain tasks. When you run that, it says that teblet buttons are not installed on this pc. Doesn't matter if QLB is installed or not - same error. Hmmmmm. Check with your pc manufacturer..... I think I am doing that. I am starting to feel like I am working for HP.
Next finding: Using mobility center, I found that if you orient the screen to landscape for the slate config, and then rotate the screen, it does not go blank. However, if you rotate the screen back to notebook, it goes blank. And of course it keeps that upsidedown config when you reboot, too. So, the way to recover from that (because you really need a keyboard if you don't have a working pen and touch takes 30 sec to respond) is to keep trying to get touch to orient the screen back to landscape for notebook. Then rotate the screen to landscape for notebook. And uninstall the QLB driver that doesn't work and reboot. But after that, touch and pen did not function.
Since touch and pen had previously been restored when I uninstalled QLB, I reinstalled MVP and smartmenu coz they were the actions that I took the last time before touch and pen returned. Didn't work this time, tho.
I decided to do a system restore back at the point that I had used HP Advisor, since that was the last time I made note that pen and touch were working. Restore failed because a sfi.dat file was not found (and search didn't find it anywhere either). I tried 5 different restore points, before and after that one, and they all failed. But the first time around, I had touch on the logon screen, just not after windows started. The next time, I had touch but not pen. The next time, I had touch and pen, but only for a period of time (I think HP Advisor may have been the intervening event) before they stopped working.
Oh, and HP advisor does not appear to be actually installing the things on the action list. That could be an issue with Comodo, but it really looks more like an issue with that "mother may I" message from Windows asking for permission to run the program. Often as not, windows reports that the program is not responding. Closing the program with that dialog box actually gives it the kick in the knickers it needs to complete.
A not so great workaround is to use the mobility center to orient the screen when you want to put the thing in slate mode. You can pin it to the task bar (with a little fiddling). Touch is extremely slow to respond in slate mode. For example, it took about 3 minutes to get the screen oriented back around to notebook config, which is 4 "clicks" if things are working right. Pen works sort of OK (although I haven't tried any writing) . Gestures for scrolling do not work.
I am done with the troubleshooting until someone comes up with other targeted ideas.I have been keeping detailed chrono notes.
Again, I hope the information here leads to a solution. This unit is not a functional tablet and I don't want to stay with Vista, neither should I have to since this is supposed to be compatible.
