Preview can't open JPEG (.jpg) files

Prior to upgrading to OS X Yosemite, I was able to scan pictures on my scanner to JPEGs (file extension .jpg) and open them with Preview. Now Preview says "The file xxxx_xxxx.jpg could not be opened. It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize." How do I fix this? Thanks. Mid 2009 13'' MacBook Pro, OS X 10.10, Preview v8.0. My Scanner says its software is current.

I opened a bug report with Apple and received this response:
Engineering has determined that your bug report (18693595) is a duplicate of another issue (18596578) and will be closed.
Since the problem still exists I decided to check on the status of 18596578 and it is closed as well. Going to reach out to Apple again.

INDESIGN CS5 V. 7.0.4: Can't Open a .jpg file in InDesign made with InDesign (It's Grayed Out)

I do have this problem with placing jpegs in InDesign. Very specifically, I can’t place or relink to a jpeg that was made by InDesign (export page > jpg), although I can drag and drop it into the file, and it shows up correctly. I can place or relink to a jpeg made by Photoshop.

ok, sorry... I'm novice.. I have reposted the answer in correct forum and added basics infomrations.... INDESIGN CS5 V. 7.0.4: Can’t Open a .jpg file in InDesign made with InDesign (It’s Grayed Out)

Preview can't open jpegs

After installing Leopard, Preview can't open jpegs. They only open in Elements for me. So how do we get Preview to do this again like we used to?

Search the discussion board and you will find that if you changed the metadata information on your jpeg files (ie: used Lightroom), Leopard is unable to open those files regardless of the application you are using (Finder, preview, aperature, iPhoto). Looks like we have to wait for someone to come up with a patch to fix the issue. My guess Apple is going to do nothing about it and we will have to wait for Adobe to resolve the issue. At least in my case, Lightroom is what caused the issue. The photos still work fine in Tiger, but if I try to access them on my Leopard machine it just crashes.

I have just bought a Panasonic Lumix compact camera. Aperture and Preview can't open the RAW files from this camera. Panasonic recommend downloading 'SYLKPIX Developer Studio SE' to save RAW file formats.How can Aperture and Preview read the files?

Either use 'SYLKPIX Developer Studio SE' to develope the RAW files and to save them in another lossless format like TIFF, or try if Adobe's free DNG Coverter can convert your Lumix RAW files to dng. Then import the dngs. This way, your files will still be RAW files. This works (most times) for my Lumix FZ28.

I can't open a jpg file says file may be damaged?

I can't seem to open a jpg file emailed to me. This person has emailed them before and I could open them, now I can't. I get the message that it could be damaged or to use a different file format. Nothing seems to work.

Ask the sender originating these jpegs to zip them and then send you the zipped file.
Then, upon receipt, open the zipped file and see if those jpegs are readable.

I can't open a jpg file directly from an Outlook email attachment into Photoshop CC.

When I try to open a jpg file directly from an Outlook email attachment into Photoshop CC I get this error message " Photyoshop CC.exe - Entry Point not found" with this string:

I don't think I have ever been able to open an image directly from Outlook into Photoshop. What you can do, is drag from outlook to desktop, and then from desktop into Photoshop. Or, if seeing the windows at the same time is a problem, drag onto desktop, then minimise everything, and drag onto the Photoshop icon (if you have a Photoshop shortcut on your desktop).

Preview can't open any pdf file

PDF documents are greyed out in the open menu.
Setting Preview as the "open this document with..." app in the get info window gives the message that "it's not known if this application can open Adobe PDF files"
At the same time, Safari started crashing on being asked to open a PDF file.
I've reinstalled Safari, grabbed Preview from a Time Machine backup from when it worked, reinstalled the developer tools in case they wrote over webkit, trashed all preferences and rebooted. No joy.
I looked at the document types list in Preview's info.plist and the entry for com.adobe.pdf is in there. I've opened an eps file in Preview and saved it as a pdf; I can then open that pdf in Acrobat, but not in Preview (even though it appears in the "recent documents" list.)
What am I missing?

Create a new admin user account, log into it, and see if the problem persists. If not, report back. If so, download and install the 10.6.3 COMBO update. If that doesn't fix the problem, reinstall SL, and if fixed, run Software Update until you're back to 10.6.3. If still no go, run this one-line Terminal command and restart:
*/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchS ervices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user*

Preview can't open Adobe DNG files converted in snow leopard

I have been unable under Snow Leopard 10.6 to use either 5.4 or 5.5 adobe dng converter to convert Leica RWL files to DNG files that are readable by Preview or by Aperture. Adobe CS4 can read these DNG files, but then it can read the RWL raw files as well.
However, on my other mac using Leopard 10.5, the converted DNG files ARE readable by Preview and Aperture. Any thoughts or help?
thanks

The DNG converter is not a plug-in. You need the Camera Raw update. That may be your point of confusion.

How can I open a .jpg file attached to an email?

Above says it all.
Thanks.

First save it outside mail, e.g. on desktop; simply drag it there or use save function of attached files in Mail.app
If you double click on it and does not open, the file is corrupt or incomplete.
If you did that while in Mail.app, I assume the download had not yet been completed at the time you clicked on it.

Preview.app in Snow Leopard doesn't open some jpg files

Preview.app in Snow Leopard doesn't open some jpg files.
Preview does't issue an error message, it behaves as I did't try to open file at all.
These images could be easy opened in iPhoto, so files seem to be OK.
I couldn't attach one such example image to this message, it's exceeds 2mb limit, but courtesy to google image could be downloaded by the link https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B56gs1tsb9aNYjA2MDdmNzUtOWY3NS00ODg1LWIzZDAtYTA 5YzFjZmZjYjRh&hl=en_US.
What's that? Should I file a bug?

Unfortunately, it sounds as if your internal disk failed (hardware failure).
Things to try:
(1) Boot from your Apple Hardware Test CD/DVD, which sometimes is a separate disk or sometimes is on the original OS install disk. Run the tests, all of them, to see what is amiss.
(2) Reset PRAM as described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379 . I don't think this is likely to help because even though your startup disk is not being selected, it seems that your internal disk is simply unable to be found or mounted, implying hardware failure more than software. But it's worth a try.
Probably time to take your computer in for repairs, either at the Apple Store or to an authorized Apple repair shop. Most likely they will simply replace your drive. You could also ask them to mount the old drive in an enclosure to see if files can be copied from it if you don't have a backup.

No, he said that DW gives him an error message: "Can't open
JPEG file" and
won't allow him to insert the file.

Can not open JPEG files and can not create JPEG files from other software

Can not open JPEG files and can not create JPEG files from other software (For example from Solidworks).
When I try to right click on a JPEG, a notice window appears written: "Windows Explorer has stopped working - Windows is
checking for a solution to the problem" and then the notice box disapears, the desktop appears and I can continue working.
From the other side - If I try to save as JPEG a screen of Solidworks (like a view of a part) the Solidworks falls but the JPEG
is created (I can see its name in the directory I created it).
I can open the JPEGS with the Paint software if I want but not with the Windows Photo Viewer.
I have the feeling that the Windows Photo Viewer disapeared from my computer - just a feeling.
I will appreciate your assistance.

Hi,
Did Windows Photo Viewer option appear when you right click the JPEG file and select open with?
I would like suggest you use Clean Boot to troubleshoot if there is third-party software conflict:

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste (command-V) into the text box that opens, then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

How can I attach a jpg file in a mail message as the file icon, not as an opened image in the text?

what's wrong with this picture

I can't open jpegs attached to my email. What can I do?

I can't open jpegs attached to my email. Error messages say "The file “CH02_12_07_08_07_06_01.jpg” could not be opened." and "It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize." What can I do?

I'm using Mac Mail as my email client. I've tried to open it directly from the attachment in the email, and also saving it to my download folder to open seperately. It will open on a PC with no issue.
Background: The jpg comes from a remote cameral systems I've set up. Any movement that is detected sends me an email notification and a jpg image of the motion from the camera
I've attached a copy of the jpg file in question.
