Preview application

Folks,
I have a folder full of JPG's. I double click on the first to open it in Preview, but cannot scroll through the rest of the images within the same folder. If I want to open the next image in Preview, I have to double click it in the folder.
The "Go" menu in Preview notes that to see the Next photo or see the Previous I should press Command and left or right arrow - however this does not scroll through my images at all.
Am I missing something?
Many thanks in advance.

Select all of the images in the Finder and double-click them.

Can you open the Preview program without loading a file, like by itself?
If it doesn't load then I suspect a corrupt Preview preference file.
Deleting the System Preference or other .plist file
Can you open other files with Preview, like jpg's and images?
How about other PDFs? or is it just that one you have downloaded?

Is there a way of printing the file name from within the Preview application?

If I'm printing a file within Apple's Preview application, I sometimes want to be able to print the file name at the edge of the document. Does anyone know of way of doing this?

Thanks for replying, that goes some way to answering the question, but I'm also looking to see how much space each app and its associated documents are using, i.e. Pages comes in at 112Mb for the app alone, but I'd like to know how much space is being used by the documents as well.
Once again thanks,

Why can't I get the Preview application to open PDF files?

Since the end of April 2014, I have had problems with the Preview application. When I try to open Preview, I get the following message: "This application 'Preview.app can't be opened." "-1712.". I tried a recommended solution that I found in the Apple Support Communities, which said I could go to Finder > press the Option key to show Library and then go Preferences and then search for the Preview plist file and delete it.
Unfortunately, that did not work.
Two other Apple owners had the same problem and said the above procedure had worked for them, but post were back in the year 2012. When I followed the above procedures, it did not make any change in the problem with Preview. I still cannot open it. Does any one out there have an suggestions?
It is possible that any recent updates for MacBook Pro from Apple caused the problem? Will I forever have to resort to using Adobe's PDF program?

Hi aK'
Nice, memorable user name!
-1712 is a timed out error. One reported cause (with other applications) is that the application is attempting to open a large number of files, or a file that no longer exists.
Try holding down the shift key when launching preview. This prevents the application from attempting to open windows that were not closed before quitting the application.

Barry

Problems with Viewing JPEGs in Preview Application Solved

Here is the fix that took care of JPG files in the Preview Application.
• First, remove the preference .plist files regarding Preview:
com.apple.Preview. bookmarks.plist
com.apple.Preview.LSSharedFileList.plist
com.apple.Preview.plist
• Second, download Snow Leopard 10.6.2 combo update (MacOSXUpdCombo10.6.2.dmg) from Apple Support and install the update.
• Third, the computer will restart with the 10.6.2 update installed and Preview works! Hope this works for you.

I scan student work that is handwritten. I use preview to select a portion of that work and then I paste the portion of the image I have selected into pages or some other application. Since upgrading to Snow Leopard when I partially select an area in preview everything appears normal. But when I paste into another app it pastes the entire image, not the portion I have selected.
I don't know if this is related to your problem, but you might find this TidBITs discussion thread useful:

Preview application not working

When I open a pdf, the Preview application opens in the dock, but nothing shows up on the screen. I can force quit Preview by ctrl-clicking, but that's it. Any suggestions?

Open Preview first & then select the PDF file to Open.
I use Adobe Reader instead of Preview.

New Topic: warning icon in Preview Application

while converting a image from a tiff format to a jpg format in the Preview Application there is a yellow triangle with a exclamation point that i understand is a warning and i do see that the file size that was in tiff does change to a smaller, "substantially" smaller file size in jpg format
The OS is a 10.5.8 and all is up to date on the MacBook. I keep the machine off line for web production, except to update misc apps.
Question: What is the warning about, there is not a message with the warning icon.
I have tried to find a documentation for Preview at Apple, nothing exists.
I could not find a topic of discussion for Ordinary Applications so i placed this topic here.
Thank you.

Hi,
Your JPEG will be quite a lot smaller than the TIFF file, that's normal. Don't know what the warning is,
maybe it is telling you that changing from TIFF to JPEG is compressing the file and losing quality.

Print Preview Application changed - HELP

My Problem is that when I press the Preview button (or the preview as PDF in the PDF submenu) in the Print dialog it brings up the QuickTime player application instead of the Preview application.
I already selected the document of interest and used the Get Info window to set Preview as the application to open the document. Even did this for all documents of this type. This is NOT the problem.
I want Preview to open when I click on the Preview button in the Print dialog, not the QuickTime Player.
How / where can I fix or delete the preview settings so Preview is the application behind the Preview button in the Print dialog?
Thank you.
PS: someone else has the same problem under 10.4

As I have read a thread somewhere else, where someone had this problem with Adobe Reader instead of Quicktime, and had it solved with deleting the Adrobe Reader, I deleted QuickTime - and now the +Print Preview+ opens Safari.
So it's still HELP

Photo library preview application to save photos

What is, how do I use "iphoto library preview application to save photos?
I made an error with my external hard drive while disconnectiong it.
I cannot access the iphoto library on that drive.
Can you help?
Larry

There is no iPhoto library preview program
What exactly did you do? What exactly is the problem? What version of iPhoto do you have? Is OS X 10.4.10 the correct version of your OS as you report in your profile?
Try Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto database

Where is the hand tool in the preview application ?

I would really really really love to have the hand tool in the preview application, its the one thing that stops me from using it instead of adobe acrobat reader,
yet its a beautiful application, but I really like using the hand tool to move around a document page when reading. the magnifier is too wobbly and jumpy,

it does, but I prefer the mouse, its faster when i`m working between documents and graphics applications.
scrolling in and out quickly with option and scroll wheel and spacebar/mouse to zip from point to point, then cmmd/tab to my graphics apps and so forth,
two finger method is nice for a leasurely read but I dont have that time anyday of the week.

I am trying to open my Preview application to view a PDF. However nothing opens and an error message, "Error -1712" pops up. Any ideas what I can do to resolve this?

Restart. If an application won't quit and prevents restarting, select
 ▹ Force Quit...
from the menu bar, then select the frozen application from the list and press return. As a last resort, force a shutdown by holding down the power button for a few seconds. Then press it again briefly to start up. Test.

Preview application does not print images correctly sized

The Preview application does not show me what size the image will print out.
It defaults to Scale to Fit: Print entire image.
The % in the Scale: window seems to be what the % turns out to be, depending on which Scale to Fit: is selected.
If I click into Scale:, and then change the %, when I hit Return, it prints immediately without allowing me to preview what size the change actually looks like. Need to change that behavior!!! Can't see how to do it.
Probably want the default setting to be Scale: 100% but can't figure out how to do that.
ALSO the Preferences / Images setting has two choices.
But playing with the Define 100% scale as just changes the size of the image in the Preview viewing window. The PRINT menu still has the same default and the same Scale: % size. No matter which I select, the PRINT default is still the same %.

OR....

Preview.app in Snow Leopard has removed the option to print without scaling, and recreating this behaviour with the remaining options is quite complex and requires 4 extra steps. Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a document in Preview.app, such as a PDF, of a known paper size.
2. Select 'File' > 'Print…'
3. Change the paper size to one where the default scale value with the default 'Scale to Fit:' 'Print Entire Image' is not 100%. This step is often unnecessary, as many documents will require reduction to include margins, even if the paper sizes match.
4. Select 'Scale:'
5. Select the scale % value.
6. Delete the scale value.
7. Input '100' in the scale value box using the keyboard.
8. Press tab to avoid radar #7256827.
9. Click 'Print' Expected Results:
Click on a single option to print at 100%, if by chance that wasn't the default option. This would have been one step. Actual Results:
Does what it says. Steps 4 through 8 are necessary to print at 100% in most cases. Regression:
This behaviour was as expected in OS X 10.5.x and previous versions, or we wouldn't be having this discussion. Notes:
Printing at 100% is the only scaling that is common enough to warrant a button to make it an easy one to get to. Preview.app itself even has an 'Actual Size' toolbar button, but has removed this function for printing.
Graphic designers (and other professionals) or specific applications (such as printing on pre-cut or pre-printed paper, labels, or DVDs) can commonly require printing at 100%, and using PDF to distribute documents makes Preview.app the most logical choice for many printing jobs.
Having something other than 100% as a default can cause expensive media to be ruined by a mis-scaled printout, unless these 4 (+1) steps are followed every time.
Most other apps, including Safari, Mail.app and TextEdit default to no scaling, making Preview.app an exception. I am an architect and this is really annoying!
Does anyone know a workaround?

On my 10.6.8, my preview application disappeared and all my documents are coming up as color sync utility. So I can't print anything. HELP!

Where did my preview application go? I have been trying to print documents but everything is coming up under color sync utility, which I don't even know what it is, and there is no "Print" option. All the previous questions about this problem say to go to Preview, but it has gone away. I've looked in Finder and Apps and had both my 20 something children look for it, and none of us know what to do next.
I have a 10.6.8 Mac using Google Chrome as my server, if that matters.

Download Find File for Mac If that piece of software can't find it, you can custom install Preview directly from the disc that came with your Mac when you purchased. It's inside disc #1. Follow the online instructions.

What has happened to annotation alignment guides in the Preview application on Yosemite?

In Preview in Mavericks (and earlier ?) it used to be possible to annotate PDF documents and to align, for example, text annotations using guidelines that would appear when a text box was selected.
This facility does not appear to be available in the Yosemite version of the Preview application (Version 8.0 (859)).
There does not seem to be an option for this in the application's Preferences or menus.

Upgrade seems to have switch Spaces off.
For the record it's here in Keyboard Preferences…

Manage Bookmarks on Preview application

Hi there,
does anybody know, how to manage bookmarks on preview application?
I want to group my bookmarks in different folders or how can I highlight pages or sth. like this?

ideato, thank you for your reply. perhaps I am missing it, but I cannot find anything in these articles about how to create bookmark folders on Firefox/Android, not how to move bookmarks between folders. I can see how to sync bookmarks to desktop, organize them into folders on desktop, and then sync the folders back to phone. I am hoping for something that can be done just on the phone.

Preview application won't open - "1712"

My Preview application on my mac book pro (Lion OS X) won't open any pdf or jpeg documents. It just says ' the application Preview can't be opened. -1712'
I tried deleting the Preview.plist file as recommended in a previous discussion but the application still won't open.
Any other suggestions?
