    Use Software Update to update your os to 10.6.8 and anything else that needs to be updated.  After the installations go to /Library/Preferences - trash the com.apple.Preview.plist file.  Repair permissions, restart your computer and empty the trash.  Your Preview issue should now be resolved.

    Hi there dworthen,
    It sounds like you are experiencing issues when trying to rotate your display. I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

    Just confirming, when you have the trouble, the wifi icon is grayed-out or has all bars showing? I believe you are saying that is is grayed-out - not connected to your wireless router.
    I have a Mini that started to lose connection to the Internet after the 10.7.3 update but still showed the wireless as connected. If I pinged the wireless router, I would get a quarter of the packets failing to return. The router was a Netgear that supported 802.11N connections. As a test, I set it to 802.11G (54MBps) maximum and the Mini worked fine for a week - no dropouts. And for the other devices that did support 802.11N, while there was a noticeable delay with downloads and pages loading, they still worked.
    As another test, I changed the Netgear router to a Billion 802.11N model and the Mini has not had a problems since. (It is still using 802.11g). So it could be your router that is causing trouble for your Mac.
    Have a look at some of the More Like This postings in the right column. There has been a number of Mac owners experiencing wifi connection issues and some very good suggestions as to how to resolve their issue.

  • "File could not be found" message on top of all images in Library:  How do I fix this?[was:Question]

    New to LR 5.2 Running OS X 10.8.5. Tried to save image in file folder. Now get this message at top of all images in Library: "File could not be found." How do I fix this?

    “Save” is not a term used with LR to create images.  What are you trying to do, exactly, in terms of LR menu options? 
    Are there questions marks on the thumbnails for the images that say File could not be found?

  • Battery does not charge all the way .  How do I fix this?

    My battery will not charge overnight.  I've had it to the Apple Store and they worked on it for a couple of hours, backing up data and then resetting the iPad.  This seemed to help for a couple of days, but then it started doing the same thing.  It's still under the extended warranty, but when I call in, tech support tells me that they can see that the battery is fine.  How do I fix this?

    Hello karen1944,
    I think in this situation based off the previous troubleshooting that we need to start isolating the issue to either hardware or software. What I recommend doing is restoring the iPad as a new device, and NOT restoring your backed up data to it for a while. This article named iOS: How to back up your data and set up as a new device found here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 shows how to do that. Start at step 2, and make a current backup of your device to iTunes.
    2. Back up
    Back up your device before you erase it. Review the steps below, depending on your backup method, to ensure that you have a recent backup in case you decide to restore your device from a backup
    iTunes
    iTunes backs up your device automatically when you sync. If you have previous backups of your device in iTunes when you select Set Up As New, a sync occurs. This sync creates a new backup indicating the time the device was backed up.
    To back up your device:
    In iTunes, check Preferences > Devices to check the date and time of your latest backup.
    If you do not have a recent backup, create one by right-clicking the device in the source list and choosing Back Up.
    For more information on backing up your device, see iOS: How to back up. If you wish to copy your backup to another folder, disk, or location for safekeeping, see this article in the section titled "Where iTunes backups are stored on your computer." For more information about what iTunes backs up, see this article.
    That way you can monitor the device and see if the issue re appears or not. If it does not re appear within a few days, then you should restore your data from the iTunes backup using that same article, at the bottom there is a section about restoring from an iTunes backup:
    To restore your device using a previous backup
    iTunes
    To restore your device using a previous backup, connect your device to iTunes. When your device appears in the source list, right-click your device and click "Restore from backup…".  iTunes will ask you to choose the desired backup from the list provided.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • History in my search bar will not clear even though I have selected all the appropriate settings under tools/privacy etc. Is this a Firefox bug or am I doing something wrong?

    No additional details - just can't figure out why the search history will not clear.

    when i go to Music > Artist > All, as you suggested, i see all the albums i have listed. doesn't really relate to my problem with artists with songs in one album, as well as song w/o album set, and the latter not showing up.
    but that reminds me, why is it when i go to the All section from a particular artist and they do have more than one album (or even no albums), the order of the songs is in the order they are in the albums.. if i wanted the order it is on albums, i would have selected that album for example.. it would be nice if the songs were in alphabetical order when you're NOT browsing by album, making a particular song easier to find (what if you have thirteen albums for example and u aren't sure which album a song is on, now you have to scroll through a seemingly random ordered list to find one song, alphabetical would be SOOOO helpful!)

  • On my Yahoo emails and certain websites I get an error message. I download and install Flash Player and I still get the error. How can I fix this? It's very annoying because I have to use IE instead.

    When I use IE I don't have this problem. It's only with Firefox.

    Update your Flash Player which is way out of date, even your newer one won't work well with Firefox and many security updates have occurred since..
    * http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
    The current Flash is Shockwave Flash 10.3.181.26 You have both Shockwave Flash 7.0 r19 and 10.0 r45 -- you will probably have to uninstall the 7.0 version through the control panel, do that first. Use the Adobe page to update as you are less likely to get crapware install suggestions from that page.
    Afterwards run a plug-in update type in about:plugins into location bar and hit enter at the top of the list is a link for for plugins test which you should check out<br>

    When installing updates, watch out for crapware installs, the checking and the updates are supplied by the plugin makers -- not by Mozilla.

    You are on Windows 7, which means you've got decent hardware and software, you should be on Firefox 4. www.mozilla.com to get the latest version.
    Next week Firefox 5 comes out, your toolbar changes changes to Fx4 will still work in Fx5. Then ...
    You can make Firefox 4.0.1 look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic

    If you install "Adblock Plus" extension with a filter subscription such as "EasyList US" which you can subscribe to from the extensions options options once installed. That will eliminate many flash ads, and help somewhat with news sites which have a lot of Flash pages but possibly only the ads start automatically.

  • My phone wont let me connect to my wi-fi even though i'm typing in the right password how can i fix that?

    i dont know why it wont connect

    You need to check the security settings from the router side of things. You may have a MAC address filter on the router that only lets approved devices connect.

  • Flash Player 10.1 is not installed even though message says it was successful.

    Hello,
    I use W7 Ultimate, 64 bit, and IE 8. Whenever I try to watch video a message says I  need to upgrade Flash Player and gives me a link to version 10.l
    I uninstalled version 10.0.32.18, then downloaded and installed version 10.l. A message says the installation was successful. However, I still get the same message and link whenever I try to watch video. I tried repeatedly with the same results. Each time Update Checker identifies the installed version as 10.0.32.18 even though an Adobe message says the installation of v.10.1 was successful.
    Can anyone help?

    Hi,
    I got rid of Update Notifier, and I use Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro but am not a developer.
    I honestly thought I was following all your instructions to the letter. I skipped some steps in my last post, but here is everything I really did.
    I used the Administrator account, closed all applications, set the Internet security to Medium, put *.adobe.com in Trusted sites and set Internet security to low for it, removed real time protection for my antivirus, used Advanced Settings to disable the firewall, downloaded the Flash Player installer and uninstaller to the Desktop, disconnected the Internet, and closed all browsers.
    The uninstaller was then run. Then the installer was run. The computer was booted . It was then rebooted. The insaller was run again. The computer was rebooted. The Internet was connected.
    Please look over each step and if I'm skipping something I'll add it before trying again.

    Hi gb, I think that you are relying on this Update checker too much. Early on, you confirmed what Flash files were installed. What the Update Checker reports is not correct, sorry. The proof in the pudding is what Flash Player files are Installed.
    In Post#2, you had the correct Flash files Installed, regardless of what the Update Checker said. I can't use the Update Checker as the Standard on whether you have Flash Player Installed or not and you shouldn't either. This is getting too confusing.
    The only issue you had was the Shockwave Flash Object did not Install and I posted the reasons in Post#6.
    There is a procedure to Uninstall Flash Player and to Install Flash Player and it appears that you are relying on other programs to dictate.
    Also I have never heard of anyone using the Adobe Update Manager for Flash Player. Perhaps you should read up on it and see if you really need it.
    Are you a Developer? My suggestion would be to take a look in Programs and Features via Control Panel and see if all of the Adobe Programs you have Installed are needed. Then check your IE add ons for the same.
    My Post# 6 still stands. Until that is corrected, there is nothing more that can be done. That Update Checker, does is have a website? If it is identifying those 2 files as Flash Player files, then I know I wouldn't be using it and you shouldn't either.

    Is your payment information current for your Apple ID?  Even though updates are free, your account may not allow updates if it has an issue like an expired credit card, or an updated password that you have not yet entered into the device's iTunes Store account settings.
