Preview.app - not functioning? Lost? How to update a recovered version?

Dear Apple community!
I upgraded my MBP from Leopard to SnowLeopard (finally).
Everything went fine, but I found two versions of preview.app in my programs directory afterwards (yes, one in the specific folder where I once put it to).
Both were version 5 - the first was build 501 the second build 502. Not needing both I deleted the older one (using my PathFinder file browser). To my horrified surprise (after emptying the trash... and before Time Machine had its initial run), my preview.app stopped working. It opened itself, but that was it. Nothing else showed up. Nothing could help, but a proper reinstall of that app - nicely hidden in my SL install DVD. Here is, what I did:
I used the Shareware "Pacifist" to open that DVD and got the possibility to reinstall JUST the lost app - in my case, "preview". Everything went fine, preview started to work again.
Two problems remained so far:
1st: The preview.app that I could reinstall onto my MBP came without the german language pack that it had before (from the very same SL DVD) - just a minor issue, but maybe some of you could provide a workaround.
2nd: The preview.app I reinstalled came in version 501 - so I lost the updated one and do not know how to update the older version to the current state of art. The Apple software update assistant could not locate it. Any suggestions?
Ok, that's what I did, hope it'll help you, if you once face the same problem.
Thanks for answers and commentaries,
have a good one,

Thx for the suggestion of a fresh install... I fear you might be right, but that solution isn´t providing me much happiness...
By the way, how to avoid another disaster of the same kind? Is there a possibility to get rid of those app doublets (that I usually find after 10.X upgrades) without messing things up?
Best regards,
Mr.MMM

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.

How to update the BOX version of the Logic Pro 9 in Mountain Lion??

Hi!
How to update the BOX version of the Logic Pro 9 in Mountain Lion?
For example, if tomorrow will be new updates for Logic Pro for exapmle 9.1.8. (now I have 9.1.7) Will I not able to get it?? Now should I buy the second Logic pro??
Recently I have got answer from App Store support:
"Max, since you have not purchased the app in the App Store, you can't get updates directly in App Store. In this case, you will need to purchase the updated version in the App Store so you can get further updates."
It's... I bought Logic Pro 9 + MainStage + + +++ .... in the Apple Retail Store and what now?? Updates works perfect in Snow Leopard.
I can't understand...
Can you help me please? =)

Max,
Rest assurred, you will get updates via the App store. What will happen is when you install the box version, the Mac App Store will ping when there is an update to download(for free), much like any other Apple app(Garageband, iWork, etc) regardless of where you bought it from. If it's installed, it will check for updates.
If the Mac App store doesn't show an update that you know is out, simply down it directly from support.apple.com and apply it.
Hope this helps. If so, LIKE the post.

App store says app installed and won't allow update to latest version.

App store says app installed and won't allow update to latest version. My Mac has Iworks from a disc but I can't seem to update to the latest version of Number, Keynote or pages in the App store. The app store identifies the applications as installed but doesn't update them since they were installed from Iworks disc.

all the ICloud numbers spreadsheet pages are now gone. How do I get them back?
Do you mean you were storing the documents in iCloud and now you can't see them from Numbers? If so, you probably need to check to see that iCloud is configured to work with Numbers.
Here in System Preferences > iCloud make sure 'Documents and Data' is checked:
And, after clicking 'Options...', make sure that 'Numbers.app' is checked.
You should be able to see the documents in iCloud when you go up to the title bar at the top of the screen and choose 'iCloud' in the 'Where:' dropdown:

Preview app not working since Yosemite update

Preview will not open jpeg or any other document. I get an error message stating "an unexpected error" has occurred. I tried repairing disk permissions and worked with a Genius tech on the chat feature but nothing worked. It was recommended to uninstall and reinstall Yosemite but it failed to work. Since then, I am worried about trying again as the first update reset passwords and accessibility to pro apps such as Photoshop and Lightroom, data was lost somehow and install subscriptions were

Do a backup.
Quit Preview.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Remove the following. You may not find them all.

Preview app not working in Leopard

Hi pals,
I have just upgraded my Macbook (Tiger) to Leopard and updated with all necessary patches (10.5.2), but i am not able to launch preview which resulted in not able to launch all pictures and pdfs. When i double click on Preview (through Appln > Preview.app) the icon comes out and go immediately! Is there anywhere i can download preview from apple's site??? How do i repair it?
Please help!!
Thanks pals

Unfortunately, yes it is a clue. The nib file in question is here:
"/Applications/Preview.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/MainMenu.nib"
As you can see, it is buried deep inside the application, that particular nib file is the programming stuff that tells Preview how to draw its menu. If that is broken, obviously the program can't run. And if that is broken, one wonders what else may be wrong. You really need the Leopard install disk so you can get an unbroken version of the program. Meantime, you can try other programs to look at things. For instance, almost anything will open a jpeg, including your browser. The browser will also open lots of other graphics, such as gifs and pngs. You can open PDF files with Adobe Acrobat Reader (free download from Adobe), or even QuickTime Player (believe it or not). Indeed, QT Player will also open pretty much any graphic file, including Photoshop files. I suspect you can use it to view pretty much anything that Preview will open.

'Preview' app not supported on this type of Mac

When I'm trying to launch the 'Preview' app (either from Launchpad, or by clicking any image/pdf file twice), the following message appears:
You can't open the application "Preview" because it is not supported on this type of Mac.
The last time it worked fine was two weeks ago. No new applications installed, no hardware changes. Restarting the Mac does not help. Disk utility permissions check done, permissions repaired.
I can still launch the 'Preview' app by double-clicking Preview in
/Applications/Preview/Contents/MacOS/
(I have to click 'Show Package Contents' in the context menu of the 'Preview' app in Applications to see its content)
The 'Preview' app is the only application with a white-grey prohibition sign on its icon. All the other applications work fine.
Please help.

Thanks, Drew Reece. This is the 'Get info' screenshot.
I will try to reinstall the OS then.
It is even funny how fragile the OS is. I guess the simple update to 10.9 have broken the 'Preview' app...
UPDATE:
I don't see a way to backup the OS w/o a TimeMachine. I would not like to change logical structure of the hard drive.

Preview app not working in 10.10.2

Ever since upgrading to 10.10.2 the Mac Preview app has not been working correctly. Any file I create in it (a scan, a print-to-PDF, a screen-shot, or the like) cannot be saved. It gives me a message to the effect that the file cannot be saved because the file does not exist. Meanwhile the file is clearly visible on screen and fully functional otherwise. There are no write-only issues going on that I can see. Now today Preview couldn't even create a screen-shot, giving me the message that "Your screenshot could not be saved. Unable to create screenshot."
Has anyone else had this issue? And is there a way to remove and reinstall Preview without reinstalling the whole OS?
System details: iMac, 8GB ram, OSX 10.10.2, Preview 8.0 (859.7), 700GB of free disk space.

Thanks for the reply. Here is the Console data output after trying to save a file. (Response was the same "File cannot be saved. File does not exist.")
A couple of things I note in here:
The last line in the output is interesting to me--it refers to a file that I saved (or tried to save) about 2 weeks ago, but that I haven't touched since that time. Makes me think this file is somehow stuck in a queue somewhere and blocking all subsequent actions.
I should also mention that there's a lot of mention of Dropbox in here. I use Dropbox, but was not actually trying to save to it with the file just now.

Preview 4.2 has stopped functioning. How does one install a version of Preview that will operate with Snow Leopard?

My version of Preview 4.2 had stopped functioning. How do I install a later version compatible with Snow Leopard?

Since Preview is part of the system, you can reinstall your OS using your install disks. It will automatically install the correct version. I have not been running Snow Leopard, so I cannot check on the correct version of Preview; however, how did it "stop functioning"? Exactly what happened?

Preview app not showing thumbnails view scrambled

Hi,
since i updated to maverick last week i got an issue with the Mac Preview app, it opens the documents ok, but when opening several files at the time, the thumbnails are all scrambled and not showing the miniature of the selected file.
if i click on the thmbnails area and navigate with the keyboard's arrows it allows me to go through the open files, all files open ok but the thumbnails is the only part that is having this issue.
i have deleted the com.apple.Preview from ~\Library\Containers but still having the issue.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

I installed newer Firefox, now parts of Norton and Words do not function. How can I fix this? Go back to previous Firefox? Thanks.

I installed the latest version of Firefox when I was prompted. It was not until after the process was complete was I informed that certain aspects of my Norton and Words programs would not function, and that currently there is no fix available. How can you resolve this? Can I go back to the previous version?
Thanks
Mark

Symantec need to update their Firefox add-ons so that they are compatible with Firefox 4. They have released an update for Norton 360 to make it compatible with Firefox 4, for details see http://us.norton.com/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20100720113635EN&ln=en_US
I do not know about other Norton products, but if you run Norton LiveUpdate it should inform you if there are updates available. If no updates are available, you can downgrade to Firefox 3.6 if you want to use the Norton add-ons.
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

Preview app not working properly in SL

Since installed 10.6.1 SL on 15in MacBook Pro, preview.app won't display images in its main window; preview opens and images can be seen in preview "sidebar". iPhoto seems to be working ok so far.
Any suggestions?

Okay, I know something about this part! I've been told on another forum that Apple is now placing a quarantine flag on files downloaded from the internet, which prevents mass batch picture opening from functioning the way it did in 10.5. It seems like the system refuses to open pictures 2, 3, 4, 5, etc, until it successfully accepts the previous file as valid. Which is why the first attempt to open 1-5 results in 1, the second results in 1 and 2, the third results in 1 and 2 and 3, etc. I don't know if the quarantine flag explanation makes sense or not,
IIRC the .jpg and .jpeg file format was supposed to be almost as safe as the .pdf format. Has something happened to make a .jpg or .jpeg file a threat to the Mac OS?
Back when I was using Windows (bought my first Mac in July 09) I used to subscribe to Fred Langa's Langalist newsletter. Later when he merged his newsletter with Windows Secrets, I subscribed to that newsletter as well. I remember reading in one or both that while it was theoretically possible to infect a .jpeg with malware, nobody had done it yet, and it was probably too difficult for anyone to be bothered with it. Perhaps my memory about this is faulty.

Preview.app - not functioning? Lost? How to update a recovered version?
