No documents Preview in finder

Hallo.
I use a lot the documents preview, but since i have 2 user aconts on ma iMac it doesent work fine. It show no previews of the document into the folder or when i use the space bar to see the full image of my document.
I have allways to do a finder restart, and then work fine untul...it doesnt work again.
Any ideas?

Hello. I had a similar problem an solved it like this:
Search for following file:
iWork.qlgenerator
(use advanced search in the Finder with Option "Include Systemfiles")
Move this file (iWork.qlgenerator) to following path:
Sytem / Library / QuickLook
If there's no folder named QuickLook, just create one.
That does the trick for me. Good luck.

Document icon in Finder window differs from Get Info icon

I've been noticing unexpected document icons in Finder windows for quite some time.
This is especially true for PDF files. Since the early days of Mac OS X, I've configured my Macs to open PDF files in Adobe Reader, and I'm accustomed to seeing an Adobe PDF document icon on each PDF file. For some time, I've been seeing different PDF icons, e.g., a document with fuzzy text lines and a black ring binding on the left edge.
I thought this might be a custom icon. But when I do a Get Info on the PDF file, the conventional Adobe PDF icon appears in the Get Info window.
Is this different between the Finder icon and the Get Info icon a bug or a feature?
-- Ward

It's a feature. Any window that has the View Options set to "Show Icon Preview" will do that. It actually is rather handy in a folder that is set to icon view, with nice BIG icons, you can often see the first page (which is what is displayed) clearly enough to recognize exactly what the file is. In List view it isn't at all helpful, nor is it helpful in those cases where you have icon view set, but the icons are quite small (as is the case on my Desktop, and, I suspect, on most people's Desktops). A pdf that has multiple pages will additionally show the "binder" along the left edge. The Finder is drawing these custom icons on the fly from the contents of the file. The only way to defeat it is to turn of the Show Icon Preview for the folder(s) where you don't want an essentially useless and often counter-productive icon. Do that from the Finder's View menu item, Show View Options. Oh, and every folder has different options for each view. So you can turn it off for List view, but have it turned on for icon view, where it might actually be useful.

No .dng Preview in Finder or Quick Look; File Dimensions 0x0.

Can see Canon .CR2 raw file preview in finder and quick look. Can see file dimensions.
Cannot see same files converted in Lightroom to DNGs. File dimensions listed as 0x0.
CAN see older DNG files processed exactly the same way. All files stored in an external WD 2TB drive. Just for fun dragged an old DNG file to that drive and the preview works fine.
OSX 10.9
Latest Adobe Camera Raw
Latest Adobe Lightroom
Rebooted, emptied caches, reindexed Spotlight, and on and on and on.
Apple bug? Adobe bug? Or another situation where they are blaming each other and the professionals relying on their products enjoy yet more frustration. Don't get me started on the color management fiasco of not so long ago...
Thanks!

Here is the situation: I use Spotlight to search, and
find a bunch of things I want to look at, including
some PDF files, which I click to open in Preview.
Now, I want to send some of these documents, or at
least one of them, as an email attachment using
Mail.app. What to do?
One way to do this is to use the "Mail PDF" item in the PDF Services group of items under the PDF "menu" in the Print Dialog. For multiple documents, this would mean bringing up the dialog ffor each document, so maybe that is not practical.
You could also create a workflow item using Automator. I am not that familiar with Automator, and you'll have much better luck in the Automator forum, but a quick glance shows an "Add Attachment to Front Message" action as part of Mail.
Hope this helps.

Preview - extra finder window opens

Since upgrading recently to Mountain Lion, whenever I select Preview, a finder window opens bringing me to my Documents folder. I don't want to go here. I simply want access to the program. How do I remove this?

Is there anything in your login items?
You might find something in the console.app logs about what is starting up when you log in and why.

Document Preview Capability in Files?

I have a vague memory of being demonstrated a capability within Files (though could have been email) to preview a lot of standard document types without having to download the full document.
So for example it will generate a read-only html view of a word document that you can use to look through the document before deciding to download a full copy. Can someone confirm that this feature exists and maybe point to where I might find documentation on this feature.

Hi,
For your issue, try to do the following:
Make sure Silverlight is installed on machine which search performed. Go to
http://www.silverlight.net/ and download Silverlight runtime
Run the SharePoint Configuration Wizard after setup the Office Web Application for SharePoint 2010.
Disable Loopback was the key: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896861

Document Preview File Types

Hi,
I am trying to find a list of all the file types that the document preview in a SharePoint Online environment supports. By this I mean the preview must show the contents of the document, and not just the metadata.
Does anyone know of a list I can reference?
Thanks

Basically its all the standard office document types and PDF. Its the same list as the document types supported by Office Web Apps since that is what does the preview. Here's a support article that explains what Office Web apps supports.

PDF files are handled the same as .DOCX

Pdf portfolio document preview issue

I'm creating a pdf portfolio in Acrobat XI and have run into a problem when using grid view. When viewing the pdf portfolio on my 15" laptop, the document preview is cropped in both the thumbnail and larger preview. But when I view the pdf portfolio on a larger monitor, both previews are fine. Any ideas on how I can fix this issue? Thanks so much for reading.

Hi Vikrantt,
I'm using Acrobat 11.0.07. Any other ideas on how I can solve this problem? Thank you.

PC-UI: Document Preview not working in Portal

Hello CRM Gurus,
I'm trying to use "Document Preview" as described in the PC-UI Book at Page 157. I've created my own structure ZCRMT_BSP_OPP_CREATE_QUOTATION which includes the structure CRMT_BSP_PREVIEW. I've created my own Modell access class and implemented the READ Method as follows:
method if_crm_bsp_model_access_il~read .
data: lt_screen_structure type table of zcrmt_bsp_opp_create_quotation,
        lv_opp_guid         type crmt_object_guid,
        lv_account          type bu_partner,
        ls_screen_structure like line of lt_screen_structure,
        lv_lock                  type abap_bool,
        lt_object_key            type crmt_bsp_objectkey_tab,
        lv_screen_structure_name type crmt_bsp_scrstrucname,
        wa_portal type char32.
lv_lock = iv_lock.
lt_object_key = it_object_key.
lv_screen_structure_name = iv_screen_structure_name.
* Create Quotation in R/3 from CRM Oportunity
read table lt_object_key index 1 into lv_opp_guid.
data: lt_header_guid type crmt_object_guid_tab,
        lt_orderadm_h type crmt_orderadm_h_wrkt,
        ls_orderadm_h like line of lt_orderadm_h,
        lt_partner type crmt_partner_external_wrkt,
        ls_partner like line of lt_partner.
insert lv_opp_guid into table lt_header_guid.
call function 'CRM_ORDER_READ'
   exporting
     it_header_guid                = lt_header_guid
   importing
     et_orderadm_h                 = lt_orderadm_h
     et_partner                    = lt_partner.
* Read Opportunity Number from Header
read table lt_orderadm_h index 1 into ls_orderadm_h.
read table lt_partner
    with key ref_partner_fct = '00000021' mainpartner = 'X'
    into ls_partner.
* Call ZSDSL_400 via WinGUI
call function 'Z_GET_PORTAL'
    importing
      wa_portal = wa_portal.

    into ls_screen_structure-url.
* Open in new Window
ls_screen_structure-object_key = lv_opp_guid.
ls_screen_structure-new_window = 'X'.
append ls_screen_structure to lt_screen_structure.
et_screen_structure = lt_screen_structure.
endmethod.
I've created a new Event ZOPP_CREATE_QUOTATIO which is functional relevant. Added this Event to the Toolbar Group OPP_OIC. Added the Event to the Application Layout of "CRMD_BUS2000111" with position "New Window" and Screen type = PREV Preview. In the Application Set I've added the Modell Access Class ZCL_ANGEBOT_ANLEGEN to the structure ZCRMT_BSP_OPP_CREATE_QUOTATION which is dependent of OPP_HEADER.
When I test the application through CRMC_PCUITOOLS its working perfect. As soon as I run it in the portal the page is refresehed when I click the Button "Create Quotation" but no new window appears.
Any suggestions?
Regards
Gregor

Hi Gregor,
I'm facing the same issue. the print preview is not even working when the application is run thru CRMC_PCUITOOLS.
Also, what Field Group/Tool Bar Group have you assigned to the new entry in the Application Layout?

Vishal

How do I drag simultaneously mulitple images viewed in Preview to Finder. I know how to do one image at a time by dragging

How do I drag multiple images simultaneously from Preview to Finder. I know how to do one at a time. However since I typically shoot at 12 frames per second, sports photography, I have a lot of images to move of one athlete while in motion.

(A personal footnote):
Why are you using Preview at all? I hardly ever use it for anything, finding it very limited.
I am only an amateur photographer, but I much prefer GraphicConverter which, for example, in batch mode would do much of what you ask.
IMO it is probably the best shareware application ever written for the Mac.
If you don't know it, give it a try:

Exchange Office Web Apps Preview Does not work in OWA. An error occurred while the document preview was being created

Hi,
I have managed to configure intergration between Office Web App server 2013 and Exchange 2013 OWA.
I have created a test users Test1 and Test 2. I have given full access on Test2 mailbox to user test 1.
When I login to owa for user test1 and preview the attachment it works fine.
However when I use "Open another mailbox" in OWA and open test2 mailbox and try to preview the attachments in test2 inbox it errors as
" An error occurred while the document preview was being created. Please try again later " as follows
I am new to office web apps server 2013 and implemented it first time. Can anyone suggest resolutions or troubleshooting ?

Hi,
To narrow down the cause, I’d like to recommend the following troubleshooting:
1. Does the error appear when you directly access test 2 mailbox through OWA?
2. Check if there is 141 error in your event log.
3. Check whether Office web app server connects with Exchange server when the issue happens.
Access the URL: https://hostname/hosting/discovery
4. Grant full access permission again and check the result.
For more information about Office web app integration with Exchange, please refer to the following article:
http://www.msexchange.org/articles-tutorials/exchange-server-2013/management-administration/exchange-2013-office-web-apps-server-integration.html
If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.

Preview in Finder not loading. All my images have the Preview icon instead!

Hi,
anybody experiencing the same problem as me?
All of a sudden my preview in finder doesn't work and all my picture preview icons became the "Preview" icon itself!
Here is how it looks like.. : http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/3414/picture37.png
Does anybody know how to get it back to normal because it is such a hassle to click on every single photo to find the picture that I want!
Thanks!

Sounds like your LaunchServices database has gotten corrupted. Launch the Terminal app in /Applications/Utilities/, copy & paste this one-line command into it, hit the return key, and restart.
*/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchS ervices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user*
That should fix the problem.

Cover Flow preview in Finder fails to work

Hello,
I updated recently to OS X Mavericks, and since i updated there have been problems in the Preview (Cover Flow preview in Finder.
When i open a folder and scroll down items, sometime there are 10 images and in cover flow shows only half and the other half are like not previewing them as they don’t exist in the folder so when i click on list view then gives me just file names i can see full list and open all files big, but the Cover flow is failing to work and desplay preview images - not previewing the correct fles mix, image names, for example i click on file 1 and it shows file 2… when i delate an image from the folder it just keeps a ghost image there so you don’t know if its actually erased, but again when u open in list view mode its ok, or you constantly have to close and reopen the folder to refresh the view in cover flow, so 100% Cover Flow fails to work since the update.
can you tell me what is wrong?how can i fix it please as i really need this feature?
Thank you

Document preview shows EDIT option even if someone does not have edit rights

From what I can see, in the document preview panel in search results one of the options says "EDIT" even though the searcher only has read rights. Is this correct? If so is there a way of changing it so that it says "OPEN" if the document
is read-only to the user?

No way to change it that I am aware of. For the most part MS doesn't impose a lot of permissions checking on links in dialogues. To do that would require a lot of extra processing.

Trouble with preview in finder

hey All!
Here is my problem, I have 10.4.2 installed on my IMac and my powerbook, and quick time pro for both. The problem is, that when I view movies in finder on my IMac, it shows up as a preview in finder. This however is not the case on my powerbook, where the round ball just keeps spinning ending up with no preview. I have installed VLC on both computers as well, but no matter what I do I cant get it working on my powerbook! Plz help!
Thanks in advance
Ehlerz

Open the Audio MIDI Setup on the offending computer (the Powerbook).
Set the Audio Output Format to 44100Hz. Quit and restart.
You should also set up a new user account (great for testing things) and try the offending file again.
