Not having a preview pane

I do not want the preview pane when I open Mail. I can get rid of it after I open it but it comes back after I close Mail and then reopen Mail. Any way to not have the preview pane when I open Mail, other than leaving Mail open.

preview pane should not come back like that if it was collapsed when you quit Mail. your Mail preferences are probably corrupt. you can reset them but you'll have to re-enter all your email accounts info. quit mail and delete the file homedirectory/library/preferences/com.apple.mail.plist. start mail and recreate your accounts. they will recognize their existing mailboxes once recreated. try collapsing the preview pane again and it should stay that way on mail restarts.

Just drag the divider line between the preview pane and the message list all the way to the edge so the preview is completely closed. Selected messages will open in a new window with a double-click or the return key.

Emails not displaying in preview pane

Lately, I have noticed that my emails are not always displaying in the preview pane.
At first I thought that I needed to wait for what seems like ages for the adverts to load. However, even when the adverts ARE loaded it is hit and miss as to whether messages appear in the preview pane when clicking on them.
Of course I can double click on them to open in full page mode but this is not supposed to be necessary.
I am accessing my emails via the BT Yahoo web page, not a thiird party client such as Windows Live Mail, Outlook Express etc.
Anybody else seeing this?

Nor am I; it was a suggestion which you might like irrespective of your issue. An ad blocker would eliminate the adverts, both as the cause of the problem and as an annoyance (which is how most people regard them).
I don't use webmail but have had a peep. Even though I have an excellent BB connection the (empty) preview pane is taking a little while to appear just now. There may be a time-out issue with the Yahoo! server, which wouldn't be helped if adverts are loading.
Installed Simple Adblock but still hit and miss with the preview pane so assume it's the server.
However, a BIG improvement on my BT Home Page. The adverts there completely naused up the way I wanted it to look.
Adverts now missing and it looks much better.
Thanks.

Preview pane no text wrapping and scrollbars missing, and how to copy corrected settings to other folders/make default?

Hi, (this may be in the 353 items thrown up on a search of Mozilla support, but there seems to be a relevance/sort issue.)
I don't want thunderbird to take up my whole screen. There are some problems when using a smaller window:
1. TEXT NOT WRAPPING IN PREVIEW PANE: can you please advise the settings to make the text automatically wrap to the preview pane width? It goes off the edge. I don't want to have to scroll to see it or make my preview pane bigger. (I did this ages ago and need to do it again as I had to rebuild TB)
3. COPY CUSTOM VIEW SETTINGS FOR ONE FOLDER TO OTHER FOLDERS OR SET AS DEFAULT: can you please advise instructions how to do this? (So I can apply my corrected settings to all other folders views!)
2. DONE: VERTICAL AND HORIZONTAL SCROLL BARS IN PREVIEW PANE: (I solved this, this is for readers with the same problems!) The scrollbars will not show if the toolbars at the top of the preview pane are wider than the pane. (I think this is called a bug.) Workaround:
(a) maximise thunderbird window/widen the preview pane to show all the buttons across the top of the preview pane.
(b) click the x on the redundant navigation toolbar to remove from preview pane. (you can put all these buttons on the mail toolbar at the top of the whole window- click view, toolbars to show it).
(c) right click on one of the reply/forward etc icons at the top of the preview pane. Click customise. select icons only.
(d) resize the width of your preview pane to desired width, which can be quite narrow as long as it is wider than the toolbar (you'll see the scrollbar disappear when its too narrow).
Thanks!

'''re: Flowed text.'''
Very odd you do not auto have this as it is usually set as default.
check settings:
'Tools' > 'Options' > 'Advanced' > 'General' tab
Click on 'config Editor' button
it will tell you to be careful :)
In top search type: flow
look for the following line:
* mailnews.display.disable_format_flowed_support; Value = false
* If it says 'True', double click on the line to toggle 'True' to 'False'
If you send plain text and want it Flowed text then check this line as well
* mailnews.send_plaintext_flowed; Value = true
* If it says 'False', double click on the line to toggle 'False' to 'True'
Close config Editor window - top right X
click on OK to save changes to Options.

How to I stop the Preview Pane in Windows 7 retaining control when I open a PDF document using Adobe Acrobat (Reader is NOT installed)

I have the preview pane active when selecting PDF Documents. When I open a PDF document I am unable to save any changes. the error message I receive:
"The documents could not be saved. The file ma be read-only,or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name of in a different folder"
The document is not read only and no other user has it open. If I turn the preview pane OFF there is no problem saving changes. I have also un-installed Adobe Reader.
Other programs (such as Excel, Word) do not experience the same problems as the PDF documents.
Does anyone have a solution?

Hi snoreaustralia,
It sounds like you just need to associate the PDF filename extension with Acrobat, rather than Preview. Please see this document from the Microsoft Help for instructions on choosing the default program for opening a particular file type (in your case, PDF): Change which programs Windows uses by default - Windows Help
Best,

TIFF thumbnails do not enlarge in either preview pane or content pane?

I have CS6 Bridge and Photoshop on a new 2014 iMac.
The thumbnail size as viewed on screen is a limited size (around 2cm x 1cm). Enlarging the preview pane just increases the space around the thumbnail rather than the thumbnail increasing to fill the pane. Similarly, in the folder contents panel, if I use the slider bottom right in Bridge this only inreases the size of the space around the thumbnail. It is almost as if I have the max cache set at something really small. But, I don't, it's set at 1000MB.
This phenomenon applies, oddly, only to tiff files. If I use Bridge CS6 to view jpeg or raw files from multiple cameras (.dng,.cr2) it works perfectly. So, only tiffs is the problem.
Any similar problems, resolutions, greatly appreciated. For the moment I have to use Bridge CS4 with PS CS6 as my workround.
Thanks.

All of a sudden my Bridge Content panel does not show any info on thumbnail
photos, neither file number nor any metadata preferences. Info is OK in the
Metadata window, but not on Content pane
Also, the file folder thumbnail icons in Content panel now have the file
numbers super-imposed over the file instead of below.
That is caused by accidently hit cmd+T and that command does hide the
thumbnail info and put the name of the folder over the icon.
Hit cmd + T again to solve this or go the menu view and deselect the Show
thumbnail only command
Coincidentally the font size of my Metadata panel suddenly got bigger and
bolder, not the Keyword panel or any other, just Metadata. Doesn't really
bother me, but seems odd these have all just happened
That I have not seen before but might be solved with resetting the prefs as

HT3149 iPhoto 09 When I click on the preview pane to move a photo into edit, it shows up black and the edit buttons are not active. How do I fix that?

When I click on the preview pane to move a photo into the edit pane, there is no image just a black square and the edit buttons are not active. A few images in an event will move to the edit pane but most will not. I cannot work with those images that do not enter the edit pane..no attaching to email, make a card, slideshow, etc.

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help:
As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Users are not able to save pdfs after editing - Adobe XI. They do not use the Win7 explorer preview pane. If they completely close the Win7 explorer window, they can save - Adobe XI thinks the preview pane is open when it is not.

Users are not able to save pdfs after editing. Product is Adobe XI, OS is Win7 64-bit. When saving, an error pops up that the file cannot be saved, it is in use. If they save as a different name, it works. Found several forums/blogs/etc that suggest the problem can be solved by closing the Window7 explorer preview pane. They don't use the preview pane. I figured out that if they completely close the explorer window, they can save. But this means they have to open and close explorer for each file.

Hi, I would like to chime in and say that this problem has not yet been resolved. It is extremely annoying when all I do is highlight a document in the file explorer and I get 5 errors (evenly spaced out about 20 seconds apart telling me that "Microsoft
Word Cannot Start (24)". These errors persist even after windows explorer and word are closed. And I don't want to start terminating processes just to make them stop every time.
I'm a little frustrated with this problem and the other problems I've encountered with MS Office 2013 with file corruption, crashing, 2010 compatibility issues, and the whole host of errors when trying to actually do WORK with Word.
I do work with long, complex reports in Word because that's the best way available for myself (and my coworkers) to use. However, I sincerely regret upgrading to Office 2013 because of it. I love it, all of its features, and its interface, but I simply cannot
use it without problems.

Mail: why are draft edits in preview pane not saved?

Hi,
when viewing drafts in the preview pane, the preview pane accepts edits, which it doesn't when displaying received mails. However once I highlight another draft in my drafts folder, so that the preview pane shows something else, and then return to the supposedly edited draft, the edits are lost.
Am I just not getting it, or how do you save edits to drafts made in the preview pane. If editing in preview pane is not actually possible, why does it accept edits then?
Many thanks if someone can shed some light on this :-)

D/L Thunderbird but not set it up as active on line program. No new mail settings etc. Most of the old copied file folders were set as "read only" which I understand is the default of backups and causes problems on non rewrite DVD. Not a problem on ex - HD. I do not understand but it seems TB sets up an "APPS DATA" file that it separate from regular data files (but both are in Documents library). One on-line suggestion was to copy old "APPS DATA" into new TB structure ( a replacement) It did not work. Then tried replacing just parts with no better luck.
I only want to open the old files. No desire to going back to TB as working program. Use Chrome and gmail now.
Explorer2 film management program can preview the email in the old file but TB sees it as an empty file.

Mail not displaying any messages. Blank preview panes.

I am not entirely sure when this started, but here is my problem:
I have to constantly quit and re-open Mail. When it is hidden or minimized in the dock and I receive a new mail message (which I am notified by the red badge number on the dock icon) I will not be able to see any of my messages when I bring the window to focus. If I select the Inbox...nothing. If I select individual accounts...nothing. It says I have a new message and there is a new message indicated by a number next to the account name, but the preview pane and message list pane will display absolutely nothing.
The only way to fix it is to quit and then re-open, but it will usually happen right again. That's the odd part...this does not happen all the time.
I currently have 3 mail accounts setup as IMAP exactly the same on my iMac and Macbook running Leopard 10.5.2.
To make it more confusing, this problem occurs on the Macbook about 10% of the time.
Any suggestions?

Woooooo!
It was a looooooong process and I would hate to leave out any steps and cause you to lose your saved mail.
Try this first.
Call them. Ask for tech support.
On the prompt, say "leopard"
When they ask for what kind of computer tell them the computer you are working on.
They will ask you for your name, etc. and serial number of your computer.
In my experience, they haven't asked for the date of my purchase of leopard.
Maybe they look up when you registered it; I don't know.
Anyway, tell them the issue & say a friend resolved it thru tech support, but the problem had to be bumped up to a "product specialist."
If they don't help you, post again and tell me.
I'll try and do it.

In ipad email, I can see the content "subject " of the email in the preview pane but not in the right side of the screen. its blank...any ideas

In new IPAD, in email, can see subject data in preview pane but not on right side of screen, its always blank any ideas

Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Or
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Inbox does not display messages. I can highlight a message and click on it and it comes up in preview pane.

I open TB and new messages download into inbox. the inbox pane does not show any messages but if I hover the cursor over the pane it highlights a message and when I click on it the message opens in the preview pane. How do I get the messages to show up again in the inbox. Thanks

lets try forcing the issue.
It is the fact that is is only a single pane in the three pane view that has me. If nothing displayed then I would be happier.
open your profile folder by going to the troubleshooting information on the help menu and clicking the show folder button
create a new folder called chrome
open notepad and insert
treechildren:-moz-tree-cell-text(read)
color: #D50000 !important
Save the file in the new chrome folder as userChrome.css
That forces read mail to be a rather ugly red color. I am looking for answers, perhaps if this also does not work we need to look as something like corrupt font files.

Previewing clips in Events pane do not play correctly in Preview Pane

Overall I like iMovie '08 very much, but I have one issue that it really annoying. Basically all of my footage was shot with Casio or Fuji digicams and lives in my iPhoto library. When iMovie imported these clips to the events pane, it looked as if all was fine. However, when I drag my mouse over certain clips to preview them, a different clip actually shows up in the preview pane. I can make selections and add them to the timeline, and when I replay them they look fine in the preview window - it only happens when I preview clips by dragging my mouse. Any ideas?

If you provide some specific information about what cam, sequence settings, codec, FCP, QT and OS version numbers, it would be helpful.

Preview pane is not working in Jdeveloper

Hi Experts , I need your help in resolving my issue. i am developing adf mobile application and during this development when i click on the 'preview' button nothing is displayed on the preview pane.
I don't see any error message as well.
I am able to deploy the application to the android emulator and its working fine there.
Jdev details :
Build JDEVADF_11.1.2.4.0_GENERIC_130421.1600.6436.1
Java(TM) Platform : 1.6.0_24

Now that I've looked at the linked article...
That was showing you how to use a very early version of ADF Faces (a pre-release, in fact) with a very old version of JDeveloper. That document is nearly 9 years old.
Starting with JDeveloper 10.1.3, ADF Faces is "built-in"
And since JDeveloper 10.1.3.x, we have had both the JDeveloper 11.1.1.x and 11.1.2.x series released.
Why are you still using 10.1.2.x?
