Neither Automatically Resize nor Zoom to Fit working

Hello out there in Appleland,
Neither Automatically Resize nor Zoom to Fit is working in Preview 5.0.3 under Snow Leopard. Zoom to Fit acts just like Actual Size or <Command> 0 and Automatically resize doesn't work at all. This must be and bug, so please explain how this can be permanently fixed, even at the command line level.
Thank you.
Best regards,

I've found out a little more about Preview and its bug through a process of elimination.
After examining Automatically Resize for Preview 3.0.9 on my old PowerBook G4 with OS 10.4.11, Preview 4.1 on my iMac with OS 10.5.8, and now Preview 5.0.3 on my MacBook Pro with OS 10.6.8, I discovered they all work the same way. When Automatically Resize is checked the image is only resized when the window is reduced but never when the window is enlarged to a size greater than the image's Actual Size, which is a worthless feature for smaller images. I don't think this is the way it is supposed to work, but I may be wrong.
Where 5.0.3 differs from the other versions of Preview is in Zoom to Fit. Under the View Menu, Zoom to Fit is grayed out unless the image stretches beyond the borders of the window (i.e. Automatically Resize toggled off). In this case, the image will be reduced to the size of the window when Zoom to Fit is selected. On the other hand, if the image is smaller than the size of the window, Zoom to Fit is not grayed out but neither does it enlarge the image to the size of the window when selected. In other words, Zoom to Fit in 5.0.3 is only good for reducing an image to fill a smaller window but never for enlarging an image to fill a bigger window if that window is larger than the Actual Size of the image.
Perhaps the problem is with Preview 5.0.3 failing to access com.apple.Preview.ImageSizingPresets.plist since removing all the Preview plists and launching the application anew does not recreate this particular plist. Also, the modified date on the original com.apple.Preview.ImageSizingPresets.plist never seems to change.
This is a damned annoying bug and should have been fixed when Snow Leopard was the standard. In my opinion, the fact that this wasn't caught reveals Apple's slipping standards and a concentration on their growing market in mobile devices. I feel I have a right to say this since I've been a loyal Mac user since the early 1980s.
For those who suggest I move to Lion or beyond, you can keep the economy going with your new software purchases. For now, I'm going to continue using Rosetta and my old, third-party applications in Snow Leopard.

After updating iOS5 time zone is wrong when auto is selected. Neither FaceTime, iMessage nor YouTube app are working.

After updating to iOS 5 cannot activate FaceTime nor iMessage on my iPad 2. I find that my time zone is wrong, when auto is selected. YouTube app continuously say "cannot connect YouTube" so is unusable.
I've already used all this features/apps with the previous OS but not now.

Thanks kat729, I tried everything and only restoring my iPad corrected this issue. Now all Apps are working properly.

Resizing a table to fit smaller screens

Hey everyone; so I am building a site for my photography and
I want the images to be quite large, but I want people with small
monitors to be able to see the site automatically resized so that
the browser doesn't crop the site any.
Is there a way to make the tables to automatically resize the
contents to fit the given browser window (the way a .gif or .jpg
would if viewed on its own)?
thanks,
Danny

This would depend entirely on the type of image. Even a
little upsizing can
destroy a photo.

How to get jpegs automatically resized when placed in a book?

Hello all,
New member on board here. Got a question for you guys.
When I pull a jpeg into a book page (I'm using the Library theme), I'm getting a "!" in a yellow triangle. I'm assuming that means the jpeg is too big.
Is there a way that iPhoto can automatically resize a jpeg to fit within the parameters of the picture space?

Thinkingman:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Just the opposite, it means that the pixel dimensions of the photo are deemed too small for optimum image quality by iPhoto. What pixel dimensions are the photos and what size frame are you using it in?
iPhoto automatically resizes photos to fit the frames in books, and the containers in the other items, calendars, cards, etc.
Do you Twango?

Zoom to fit doesn't work with Jpegs (works with pdfs)

Note: we are not talking about zoom to fit for pdf, etc but ONLY about zoom to fit for jpegs and similar graphics files.
The problem: starting with Snow Leopard if you have a small picture in actual size but expand the window then click zoom to fit the picture will not expand to fit the larger window (yes it reduces resolution). Please don't tell me it works fine for PDFs, we know it does but talking about jpegs and similar graphics. Dozens have reported this problem but the response was to disregard the postings and then archive them. Does everyone have the same problem with JPEGS under Snow Leopard (with Jpegs only)? Anyone have a solution? A year ago someone posted and had dozens reply. Here is the posting a year ago:
"Hello, just checking to see whether other people are having the same problem with Snow Leopard. In Preview, if you resize the window and then click View --> Zoom to Fit, it simply resets to actual size. In Leopard, it would resize the picture to fit the window.
Is this broken for others? "

If you want Apple's engineers to address your issue, then you'll have to take the time to register and report it via its bugreporter system; otherwise, your complaints are just rants and won't be addressed. Here's a quote from an Apple employee that worked with AppleScript:
+"Even if we already know about the issue, bug reports help guide prioritization and may provide more information to help us reproduce a problem or help ensure an enhancement meets your specific needs.+
+When reporting bugs, please provide detailed steps. In the case of AppleScript, a sample script that reproduces or illustrates the issue and which is as short and clear as possible helps immeasurably. (The ideal case is when the problem can be reproduced by running a script in Script Editor, without using any additional applications. If the problem requires sending events to another application, be sure to note whether the problem only occurs with that application.+
+For enhancement requests, it helps to include a description of your general needs, not just specific UI or behavioral changes. It helps us to understand how you wish to use the software, which helps guide larger design changes."+
If the process isn't worth your while or you don't think they're doing it correctly, then these forums are not the place to voice your objections.
What isn't worth my while is responding to your continual posts telling me to jump through a million hoops, in territory completely foreign to me, just to describe a simple problem. Applescripts, larger design changes, sample scripts, my general needs? Come on man, one feature of a basic program is not functioning properly, this is not rocket science, nor does it entail a great deal of complicated & detailed data! And really, if these forums are not the place to voice problems with the functioning of Apple's basic software, what are they for?

Zoom-to-fit Not Working in Preview, & other features, too.

I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard, and have since found that Preview is not working properly. This is something I use almost every day, & it not working has created a real disruption to my work-flow. I've noticed that others have complained about this, and have been doing so since at least October of 2009! Apple has obviously not addressed this, as I've done all the updates, and still it doesn't work. The Zoom-to-fit won't work, altho it sometimes will when there's only a little bit of space left, & sometimes when the image is too big, it may reduce. However, the "automatically resize" doesn't work either, and some other features work erratically as well. Sometimes when I change the resolution of the picture, it will zoom to fit, & sometimes well, so many things don't work, or do, but so rarely, I can't even remember all the instances.
Does anyone actually have some kind of work around, or solution? I've done the trash all the preferences, etc., which didn't do anything, and am stumped at this point, thanks...

Surely you understand that you are not talking to Apple here, just other users like yourself. Whether Apple knows about it depends on whether you or someone else has used the bugreporter or feedback channel to tell them. As for what action they are taking, nobody here is ever going to be able to give you an answer.
Yes, I do understand that, and my question was in response to being told that
"Preview in SL is broken", by one of the "experts" when I posted my own thread about it not working properly. To me, that response implied this was a known condition, & that this person knew that Apple knows, & since this was all he said, w/no other advice, it further implied that a fix would come out whenever it will, and there's no use in pursuing it further. So, my question was to anyone else to affirm or deny that is or isn't the case.
Plus, I've read that in fact, some employees of Apple do contribute to the discussions (as they surely should, if for no other reason, that what I just spoke of, to let us know when an issue is a known one, thus nothing else can be done until Apple releases a fix; thus preventing users from wasting time &/or screwing something up worse, attempting to fix it)
Does Adobe Reader provide a possible replacement for Preview for your purposes?
Don't know, I'd rather not have to open it for all the times I would simply use Preview, why have it as part of the OS if it doesn't work? I'd think Apple would fix it, or not show features it can't do. That said, your question is actually the first response I've seen yet, that at least is a possible work around, thank you.
(another thread on the same issue was marked "answered" & closed, despite no one having offered up a fix),
How a thread is marked is totally up to the person who started it. If you have a problem with how it was done, you need to take it up with that person I think.
I will, but it's not the person who closed the thread, as that was done nearly two months after it was marked "Solved". And yes, it could have been archived due to no further comments, although we've no way of knowing, since there's no date of archiving shown. And that is what I'm wondering, did Apple just close it, to avoid the topic being taken to the top of the list? If this feature is broken, why haven't they fixed it, now nearly a year later???
And I have personally reported this in several feedback forms. I refuse to sign up for the developers group, just to file a bug report, since I would have to answer all the questions in the application form without knowing what the heck I was talking about, since I am hardly a developer/programmer, techno-geek, etc., and shouldn't have to jump through all those hoops, just to report to Apple that something's screwed up! I can send bug reports via Safari w/o signing up as an advanced computer engineer, why should I have to for reporting the same with Preview? If Apple chooses to ignore feedback reports, as well as their discussion boards, then what real customer service would that be?

Neither Flash Player nor Java working on Windows 8.1 with IE 11

I have a new sony laptop with Windows 8 and IE 11. I have upgraded to Windows 8.1. Neither Flash Player nor Java are working despite having made all the recommended settings. Adobe recommends upgrading to Flash Player 12.00.38, but I can seem to get it installed.
Whats wrong and how do I fix it?

Flash Player for IE in Windows 8 and 8.1 is embedded by Microsoft and you cannot update it here. It MUST be updated via Windows Update.
The fatc that Java isn't working as well leads me to believe you have other problems, but IE11 (comes with Windows 8.1) has been a "rolling train wreck" since the day it was released. Websites and pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player. So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

Toggle zoom to fit selection key not working

I am using the default key command "z" for "Toggle zoom to fit selection or all contents" which works to zoom in but does not toggle back out when hitting "z" again. Does anyone else have this problem or a possible solution to get the key command to toggle instead of just zoom in?

I've tried using a different UNUSED key comb and it's still not working. Also tried unlearning toggle track zoom and same problem. Must be something else.

Scheduling Gantt: How to work with the "zoom-to-fit" drop-down

I'm trying to figure out how to work with the "zoom-to-fit" drop-down on the scheduling Gantt dvt control. It has choices in the drop-down that are not appropriate for my project. The documented purpose of this drop-down is to allow the user to zoom to a level that would allow a certain time range to "fit" within the current window. The choices start at "1 Week" and go up through "2 Weeks", "1 Month" etc. The problem is that the projects I'm displaying are generally just a couple of days long, and consist of many small tasks. So even 1 Week is too big. Also, no matter what I pick in this drop down, nothing happens.
So my questions are these:
1. Can I change the choices in this drop-down? If so, how do I do that?
2. If not, then how can I remove this drop-down? (I figure I probably can if I disable "zoom", but I don't want to do that.)
3. How do I get this to actually do something? I assume maybe I have to code some listener somewhere, but if so, how do I do that.
Thanks for any hints, tips and advice!

Currently, we do not allow customization of zoom-to-fit. Please file an ER. We could add a param to featuresOff attribute to disable/remove zoom-to-fit from the toolbar without disabling/removing zoom.
