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.

Notes app not working properly on 3GS after 4.2.1 update

The Notes app no longer works properly on iPhone 3GS after update to iOS 4.2.1 the other day.
Now when in Notes app, found that I went into a Note, edited it and then couldn't leave it - the navigation has disappeared, so cant get out of the note back to the list. Only way out of the note is to press the Home button and exit Notes.

Wow...I also just noticed I have songs that also are not showing up. Should I just do a restore?

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.

Outlook web app not working properly in Safari since switching to Yosemite

I have installed/upgraded to Yosemite first on my MacBook Air (13-inch, 2011) and then on my IMac 13.2 (27inch, 2012). In both cases I have experienced the same thing: when trying to attach a file to the message written using the Outlook Web App, I get only upper part of this window and while I can browse for the file, I cannot attach it as I cannot reach and click the "attach file" button. Needless to say this is really annoying!
I did not have this problem before upgrading to Yosemite and Safari 8. The same function still works if I use Firefox or Opera.
Anyone had similar problems and any suggestions how to go around it without switching back to the old OS X?
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier
Processor Speed: 3,2 G

Same here.
MBP Late 2007 with Magic Trackpad
OSX 10.6.8
Safari 5.1 (6534.50)
I could zoom in once and then it wouldn't work anymore by using the pinching on the Magic Trackpad.
Pressing Command and +/- still worked.
I deleted Safari 5.1 and reinstalled the Combo Update to get 5.0.5 back and it worked properly again.
Then I installed 5.1 another time and had the same error again.
I guess I got to roll back to 5.0.5

Preview app not working since Yosemite update

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.
Containers/com.apple.Preview
Preferences/com.apple.Preview.LSSharedFileList.plist
Preferences/com.apple.Preview.SandboxedPersistentURLs.LSSharedFileList.plist

Preview app not working [SOLVED]

Adding this in case it helps someone else.
System: OS/X 10.8.2
Problem: Preview app launches but hangs; menu bar appears but now indows open, and the menu is unresponsive. Must force-quit to close. Preview -works- for a different user.
Solution:
In Finder, open ~/Library/Containers (to open the hidden Containers folder, in Finder use Shift-Command-G and type ~/Library/Containers in the pop-up window)
Delete the entire com.apple.Preview folder
Restart Preview
Assumption: the folder contains a cache folder, which probably held something with a circular reference. I did not try surgically removing the cache but went for the nuclear option of wiping the entire folder.

YES!!! It works on Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 as well.

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.

Facebook app not working properly in Asha 501

Push notification in fb official app is not working in my 501.. I've learned that it is the problem with old accounts.. Is it true..? Is there any way to solve this problem..??
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This issue is with Facebook, not the app. There are some old accounts which don't get the option and then those are some new accounts which got the option. I don't know why it happens, but it just happens with no solution around.

IPhone 4 mail App not working properly

My IPhone 4 mail app just continues to spin and check email without getting email or sending.
Had the same problem in October after iOS 6 update took in phone and got a new one under 1 yr warranty.( apple and Verizon techs could not figure)
Again the problem is back. The spiny thing just continues to spin and no email update.
If I reboot the phone the email is pulled down but stops again.
iPhone : 4
iOS : 6.01
Carrier : Verizon wireless
Can not find anything on apple support or anywhere on google
I installed gmail app and all email pulls down perfectly but can not get me AOL email setup
So I know the network is working
Anyone know about this email App problem?
Thx
Bahram

I'm getting this too. It's very slow and apparently thinks "Call Sue Newport" sounds like "Call Halfords" or "Call Halyards" and, most surprisingly "Call First Great Western".
I was wearing my Jawbone Bluetooth headset so it's nothing to do with background noise.
I tried the new "What time is it?" command which works but takes about 10-15 seconds to activate.

After updating my iphone 5 to ios 7 camera app not working properly

i update to ios7 on my iphone. sometime blue lining occur in the camera app and while taking pics. this is original picture taken from iphone 5.

Hello Megeedolore,
It sounds like your rear facing camera is not functioning correctly. I would start by quitting all the open apps on the phone with the following article:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that and restart the phone and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists, and you have a protective case, remove the phone from the case and retest the issue.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
Sterling

Master License File update - apps not working properly

All:
Believe it or not, I am replacing an expired license with the master license file on a 9.2 installation. Go figure...
Anyway, I have searched for docs on what needs to be reconfigured and how after replacing the old file and have come up empty. Have run config tool to update Deployment id for both Essbase and Planning but still getting error message in Planning indicating an issue with the license and when opening HBR rules, that it cannot connect to Essbase due to licensing issue. Tried re-registering with Shared Services for both Planning and Essbase, still getting the same errors and log files are not providing much by way of clues.
Other info: License server logs shows no errors. All apps starting successfully.
Does anyone have a doc or experience with this that they can share with me? Do I need to deregister apps? Redeploy the app servers?

There are no virus for an iphone unless it is jailbroken.
For the message - close out of the app, then double tap the home button and completely close out of the app.
Then do a reset, no data loss. Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
this reset, might help with your other issues too.
