Preview app opens outside screen border

Hi, The Preview App opens outside the screen border.
Can't grab it with cursor.
What to do?

Hi BDAqua, No luck still.
Used the detect display option in display prefs and all seemed solved.
Connecting the second monitor again and 'voila', all looked ok.
I use the second display only when editing in Final Cut as a main video screen.
When I want to use only one monitor for a while the Preview App keeps opening halfway the not in use and disconnected second display.
So I think I'll just hit the detect display button the rest of my life.
Things could be much worse...

  • Preview app opens "split screen" on dual monitor setup

    This is a minor issue, I rarely use the utilility "Preview" app. but I'd still like to understand this issue....I use a two monitor setup (MBP & StudioDisplay)..
    The following happens if the window was last closed in "expanded" mode (you can see options for Drawer, rotate, etc)
    When "Preview" launches and opens a window, it places the top portion of the window on the secondary display and bottom part of the window on the primary display.
    This Does Not happen if the window was last closed in "non-exanded" (collasped) mode (sorry, I don't know the proper term).
    In other words, in respect to it's position on the screen, when the window opens it always assumes it's in "collasped" mode.
    Weird... any comments?

    There's something wrong with the way Preview handles dual monitors. In my case if I open a smallish item, for instance a small png, instead of opening in the upper left corner of my main monitor it opens so that about half an inch of the Preview window is sticking over onto the second monitor (which is to the left of my main monitor). I had never "collapsed" the tool bar before, so I just now tried that on a small png, then closed it and re-opened. Sure enough, without the toolbar it opens properly. Display the toolbar, close, reopen, and it sticks onto the second monitor. Weird indeed. Larger size files open normally.
    This started with the Tiger version of Preview. If you wish you can send feedback:

    Maybe it will help get this odd bug squashed in a future version of Preview.

  • CS 4 Mac Bug? Pallette opens outside screen

    Hey!
    I'm stuck with this problem:
    When I try to render a file from the queue and chose an output format which opens another dialogue-pallette (eg Adobe Clip Notes), this palette somehow opens outside my screen, so that i cant either access the dialogue, nor continue working in AE because I cant click anywhere else. When I switch between Spaces, the pallette shows up for the blink of an eye while switching. I'm working with my MacBook and a second screen so I thought its a multi monitor issue. But when I try all the suggested actions which are availble on the net, i still cant move the palette to my screen. Even when I turn off Spaces the pallette wont show up.
    Plase help, I totally lost ont this one!
    Thanx in advance,
    Simon

    Hey Rick,
    thanks for your suggestion, it's highly appreciated!
    I allready tried those actions, they didnt work for me. Meanwhile I found a solution. When I have my second screen connected, turn off Spaces and then run a script to bring all windows to the screen... then the pallette comes back to the screen!
    That was a tough one, best regards, Simon

  • How to make apps. open full screen at start up in Mavericks?

    Hi everyone,
    Last week i just bought a mac & im new to mac osx. i just wanted to know when i put some apps like calendar to start at login,i put them in full screen mode but when i restart osx, it will open in regular window not full screen,interesting thing is, some apps like mail & utorrents open full screen at start up but some apps like safari & calendar dont,
    is there any way to make any apps to open in full screen at start up or even when everytime u open app from dock. i searched google but couldnt find any real solution for this issue.
    if you help me ill be gratful,sorry for my bad eng.
    Thankx

    If you want to open all applications you want in full screen, open the apps and put them in full screen. Then, go to System Preferences > General, and untick "Close windows when quitting an application".
    By doing this, when you reopen the apps they will open at the point where you left them when you closed them (in full screen)

  • Preview app opens but is unresponsive

    I have a problem,  I am able to open images and view them with the preview app,  but the app itself is unresponsive. It will not let me utilize the apps tool bar such as the zoom command or even the exit button.  Have tried disk repair multiple time and nothing works, anyone else have this issue, or any sugesstions.

    Thank you for the response.  I am unsure how to transfer everything, and even if I did, I fear that the problem would simply be switched to another user.

  • Apps open and screens jump around when tablet is ever so softly flexed/bent

    Hi,
    I'm experiencing the above explained problem when the tablet is active and is softly bent or put to very soft torsion. It then starts to live its own life, activating the return button or opening the front page clock or Google now, etc...  It's seems unormal for the touch screen to be so over-sensitive to outside force on the construction.
    Is anybody else experiencing the same problem? 
    Sony: Will the display over-senstivity to soft outside flexing of  the construction (without touching the screen) be dealt with in any coming firmware update?  My model is SGP311, version 4.1.2 and build no. 10.1.C.0.370 (Norway)

    I see you have a bad case Faldo.. Sweden?
    I bought mine in Norway. 
    Jus for the fun of it I got a new one to test if I will have the same experience. And yes I have.
    Sony: It's identifying info is:
    Country: Norway
    Operator:NA
    IMEI/serial nr:430100350002588
    Build number:10.1.C.0.370
    This tablet is the nicest out there in addition to its water and dust resistance, It's a shame that these minor issues destroy XTZ's chase for perfect.
    I hope all of you in Sony are well informed of all issues, and that most of these will be sorted out through swift firmware updates.

  • Stinkin' "PREVIEW" app opening all my EPS & PDF files–HELP

  • Preview.app is extremely slow opening 500 jpg from external HD

    Hello everybody,
    yesterday I wanted to open a folder of approx. 500 jpg-Files from an USB-HD for a slideshow. I switched to the folder and opened all files in it (only jpg) via Command-A, Command-O.
    Preview.app took several minutes to load the images.
    After I copied the folder (1,27GB) to my internal Harddisk, the same process took a glimpse of 2 or 3 seconds.
    What's wrong with the opening from an external source?
    Why does Preview.app open all Images at once instead of opening them when being switched to during the slideshow, and why is the same process so much faster when loading from an internal HD?
    Can you recommend any other (free) slideshow apps?
    Thanks for any comments

    Andreas, you seem to have at least partially answered your own question. review won't play a Slideshow until all the images are loaded, and from an external drive connected by USB it takes 3.5 minutes for you to load them.
    If you just want to play a slideshow of the pictures then you do not need to use Preview at all. In a Finder window, select the pictures you want to include, Control-click and select slideshow. See if this plays immediately…
    …Actually, I just hooked up my Firewire external and tried it. The slideshow played immediately.

  • Preview app not responding after having multiple images open

    Several images were opened using the preview app, the app stopped responding and I can't send the images to either iphoto or even delete the images.
    I can force quit the program but evertime I open an image the preview app opens and stops responding. Is there anything that can be done to prevent this?

    I can't seem to reproduce this with 10 connections. Can you start from a console and post a stace trace?

  • My Preview app unexpectedly quits since installing OS Lion

  • Can't keep an app open long enough before it closes

    Help me understand why this is happening. I don't have long before this quits again. Please help.

    For Safari try clearing its cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
    Then close all apps completely and see if they work when you re-open them : from the home screen (i.e. not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Opened video, screen is mostly black, can't get mail

    Help?
    Thanks

    Do you have a problem with the Videos app, the Mail app, or both ?
    For the Videos app try searching for the name of one of your videos on the iPad's spotlight search screen - swipe your first homescreen to the right, type in it's name, and if it finds it tap on it to see if it plays.
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Videos app completely : from the home screen (i.e.not with the Videos app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Videos app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option if the two above don't work is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    If you're also having problems with the Mail app then are your account details correct ?

  • Why don't apps open when I click?

    why don't apps like iBook open when clicked?

    If it's happening on all the apps that you've downloaded from the App Store, but not the Apple built-in ones, then try downloading any free app from the store (as that appears to reset something) and then re-try them - the free app can then be deleted.
    If it's happening on all apps then try closing them all completely and then see if they work when you re-open them : from the home screen (i.e.not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

  • My App Store App, Preview App and a few others won't open!

    Recently, my App Store App, the Preview App, Calendar App, Pages & Numbers Apps, to name a few just wont open and run.  Even the Mail App, albeit opens, but wont run properly. 
    Ive remember seeing someone with the same problem, but im unable to findthe link again for how it was resolved.
    Ultimately i could reinstall Snow Leopard again from my current copy of Mavericks (As i believe is the problem), however it would mean a complete fresh copy.  If i did this, is it straight forward to copy all my info on Time machine back over onto the new system?  Or more importantly, will Time Machine overwright & copy the corrupt copies that currently reside on my Mac?
    Any advice or options to this problem would be greatly appreciated.
    Thx

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
