Preview doesn't open files upon reboot

I have the autolaunch feature set in Lion, and when I reboot and Lion attempts to open all of the Preview files that were open before reboot, I keep getting error messages that I don't have permission to open these files. I have not changed any permissions on any of these files. Has anyone else run into this and is there a fix?

In the Finder, select one of the image files you want to open with Preview. Choose "Get Info" from the contextual menu or the File menu. In the "Open with" section, choose Preview from the pulldown menu if it's not already selected. If it is selected, choose another application (any other), then re-select Preview. Click the "Change All" button and close the dialog.

Preview: double-click doesn't open files AFTER they have been modified

Since a few weeks (maybe since I upgraded to OS 10.6.6 ?) Preview doesn't open files any more by double-clicking AFTER I have modified and saved them. They open when I drag them to the dock icon of Preview.
For instance, photos downloaded from a camera open by double-clicking them. However, if I rotate or crop them and then save, Preview doesn't open them any more but shows two subsequent error messages: (1) "The application can't be found", (2) "The operation can't be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error code -43)".
I found one workaround: when you close and reopen the folder in which these files are, they open again by double-clicking.
Quicklook works fine.
Looks like a bug in OS 10.6.6. Any other fixes?

Why can't I open and retrieve my files from iPhoto and my address book after importing the files from my Power mac G5 to my new Mac Pro? I get a warning that says the new OS on my Pro doesn't open files from a Power Mac. Any idea how I can fix this?

For your addressbook, export the files to vCard on the PowerMac, then bring them over to your Mac Pro. For your iPhoto, copy the Users -> yourname -> Pictures folder to your Desktop on the Mac Pro, and open iPhoto on the Mac Pro holding the command and option keys. Select the library file from that Pictures folder and open it. It should import all the pictures into iPhoto as part of the rebuild process.

Textedit doesn't open files. I think I have an old version, version 1.1. How do I update it?

textedit doesn't open files. I think I have an old version, version 1.1. How do I update it?

What OS are you on?
Are you certain it is not compatible with this OS?
Is there an error message presented?
What type of file are you trying to open?
TextEdit is a built in app, shipped with the OS, it can't be downloaded from the store, have you copied TextEdit from a backup or is it trying to run from a backup disk or other copy of the OS - Spotlight can sometimes find & try to run other versions. Eject any backup disks & retry.
Try opening directly from /Applications (the Finders 'Go menu > Applications' will take you there).
If you need to restore the App you will need to have it in a backup or use the OS installer.

Preview doesn't display files.

Hi all,
Preview is not displaying files when I open them. What happens is, when I click on the file to open it, the animation for opening the window will appear and there will be an outline of a window onscreen (a literal window) that I can resize and manipulate like I can do for a working one. Preview just won't allow me to view the content, which is really unusual.
I've rebooted it in Safe Mode and found that it works then, but when I restart it, it will revert back to being unusable.
Please help me, I'm a student and PDF files are vital to my studying! Thank you

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
8. Launch the built-in Terminal 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.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Preview doesn't open

My Preview application doesn't open anything, including pdf files. I get a message "Preview can't be opened -10810'. Any suggestions?

Opened the page u suggested, but it's very technical and too complicated for me. Thanks for the help, the page was just right but I guess I'll contact Apple Support.

Bridge CS6 Mavericks. "Preview" doesn't open images (they appear as white thumbnails),"Content" does

I recently reformatted my hard drive and reinstalled my programs, replacing Snow Leopard with Mavericks. I've downloaded the latest version of Camera RAW. In Bridge I now see my images as thumbnails without a problem. However thePreview view doesn't open; I just see blank thumbnails. Before everything worked fine. Any suggestions?
Many thanks.

Thanks for the quick response, Pierre-Etienne. Something very strange is happening, but first let me answer your questions. After I reinstalled PS CS6 on my MacBook Pro (whose HD I had just reformatted under Mavericks) two days ago, I got a message from the Adobe Notifier or whatever it's called, telling me that there were a number of updates available for my Adobe products. I downloaded and installed them; I think a Bridge was included. I got an error message concerning 3 updates, including Camera RAW, so I went and got them by hand. The most recent ACR version seemed to be 6.7, bundled with DNC converter 8.3, which I installed, and then this morning when I ran across the problem I wrote about I did a new download, this time of the latest stand-alone version of ACR. I believe it was also 6.7, but when I open a file now in Camera RAW it gives the ACR version as 8.3. A bit confusing. You ask, where? In France, where I live, but from the English language site.
Now here's the strange thing. I just came back from some very intensive work at an international conference, where over the course of 5 days I took almost 8000 pictures. I use the star sytem in Bridge to rate the pictures (in this case 0 to 3 stars). Within each star folder there are subfolders for the different days, and then sub-subfolders for the various events each day - all in all, quite a few folders. This morning I was looking at the pictures in a particular folder, and the phenomenon that I wrote about occured: no preview image. I just checked, and it turns out that that is the only folder out of over 200 so affected! All the other pictures open normally, in all star level folders, on all days, at all events. What an amazing coincidence!
So I guess I don't in fact have a major problem. I have a minor problem involving one particular folder. The only question remaining is why that particular folder, and could it happen again?
Thanks for your help.

InDesign tries, but doesn't open files on server.

When using a finder window to open CS3 and CS4 InDesign files from our server, I get the opening effect but not the open file. I'm using Snow Leopard on a Mac. Double-clicking will not work, dragging the file into the application icon will not work, only the File > Open menu does the trick and opens the file. Note: double-clicking and dragging into the app icon does work for local files. Any fixes for the server file issue? Thanks!

i have this problem too at random, i click on the indesign cs4 file in the snow leopard finder, indesign actually makes that temporary whatever it is in the finder but the layout pages don't open. my workaround is to quit indesign and start again and this usually works. but i am wondering if there is any other solution? when the file doesn't open it doesn't help to try to open it through the file menu. so i just quit and start again. (this may be a feature of indesign since sometimes at random the font sizing buttons don't work.)

I want to uninstall Acrobat reader. I got support in the community to access my HD and to send to trash the internet plugs in for PDF viewer, but when I try to download a PDF from internet a black screen appears and preview doesn't open

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 into the text box that opens (command-V), 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.
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
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.

ICal doesn't open files (my own music files) when an event's time arrives.

Hi apple community, I have a problem. I use to remember things by creating events in iCal with a music file added, but now I can´t, I have updated my iMac to Mavericks and iCal only remembers me an event but doesn't open the songs (with iTunes). (Some times I use events with music files to wake me up jejeje). How can I solve it? Thanks.

I'd like to comment too here. I used to wake up all the time to music played in iCal, and before 10.8, I also used Applescript iCal events (all of this on my late 2011 Macbook Pro) in place of automator workflows. Since updating, my alarms simply haven't gone off, iCal not opening iTunes the way it should. I would be eager to find a solution.

Preview doesn't close file when app is "closed"

Try this on Mountain Lion (any version):
1. Open a JPEG or PDF file in Preview, view the file (make sure it's a scratch file that you dont mind deleting).
2. Quit Preview.
3. Drag the just-viewed JPEG or PDF to the Trash.
4. Empty the Trash
At step 4, Finder will complain you cannot empty the Trash because the item you were viewing is "still in use".
5. Open Activity Monitor, locate Preview in the list of apps, Quit it (no need to force quit, normal quit will do).
6. Empty trash again. This time, the trash will empty correctly.
This is a bug. Of course, it's caused by the new "feature" of ML (and Lion) that keeps apps open after they are Quit so they can open faster (think iOS). However, clearly Preview has a bug (probably going back years) in that it clearly fails to close open files when it quits.nMy guess is this bug is old, but pre-Lion it never showed since the OS app clean up process closed the file anyway when the app quit. But today selecting "Quit" in the app menu DOESNT quit the app, and Preview sits around holding the file open, and so Trash cannot delete the file until you really, really quit Preview using Activity Monitor.
I posted this to Apple as a bug back in Lion, then again in the (then new) Mountain Lion. It's not been fixed. So either Apple can't fix it (which is pretty sad), or they dont CARE to fix it (which is worse, given how much money they make and how much I pay for Apple products).
Since "Squeaky wheels" get oiled, I'd appreciate if anyone else here is bugged by this to also post a bug report to Apple to try to get this annoying bug fixed.

Hi Tim,
I was having this problem with several apps wanting to stay open, so I made this script applicaiton and put it in the dock:
tell application "System Events"
set app_list to (name of every process whose visible is true and name is not "QuitApps" and name is not "Finder")
end tell
repeat with this_app in app_list
tell application this_app to quit
end repeat
It has been working pretty well.

Droplet doesn't open file...

Hi,
I have done a script that works well.
I created a droplet from it, but when I drop a file on it, Photoshop launches BUT the image doesn't open...
What could be the reason?
Thanks for your help

I don't really understand...
I created a Script first
I created a droplet then with File/Automatization/Create a droplet
(sorry I translate in English my French menus so there could be wrong menu names here)
There is no problem with accented characters
But spaces block the process...

Dreamweaver CS6 doesn't open files

Hi Forum,
I have installed DW CS6 from the cloud on my Mac. I have exported the sites from DW CS3, and then imported them in CS6.
After first time installation, none of my files would open after double-clicking on them ( I allways got the 'design-notes', even if I have switched it off in the site preferences). I could only open them by using right-click -> Open with Dreamweaver
After deleting DW6 and re-install, opening works with one site, but when switching to another site, the same anoying issue happens...
Design notes pop-up and the document doesn't open, only when using right-click -> Open with Dreamweaver.
Looks there is some kind off cache somewhere which is corrupted, but thats only a wild guess.
Please help, because for the time being I am switching back using DW CS3.
Regards Will

Hi Nancy,
its Mac OS X 10.8.2, and all associations are ok. ( Double clicking on a file in the Finder works ok ).
In the meantime I have found the problem;
After deleting the folders of the sites in Users/<name>/Library/Application Support/Dreamweaver CS6/en_US/Configuration/SiteCache, and restarting Dreamweaver, all works ok.
And again, thanks for helping !
Regards Will.

Adobe Illustrator CC 18.1.1 doesn't open files with "cmd O"

Mac Pro (begin 2009), 2 x 2,26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, 12 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC, NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512 MB - OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
After having updated A.Illustrator CC to latest version I'm not able to open files by using "cmd O" and it's impossible to update linked files.
Please note that A.Illustrator CC has been updated also on my Mac Pro Book and works perfectly.
Could you please let me know where is the issue?

Fettone,
You may try the list; you may consider going straight to 6).
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

Preview doesn't open integrated links in PDF-Files anymore.

Is this a common problem with all Lion Users? Or have I forgot something in the settings panel?
In Snow Leopard I clicked on the blue highlighted link in the PDF file and the link was opened via Safari.

Two-page view doesn't start until pages 2-3. The way they've set it up, there is always an even-numbered page on the left and an odd-numbered page on the right -- which is the norm for printed books.
In Apple's eyes, I guess this is a feature, not a bug. But I find this very annoying, especially because it means that it's impossible to display the two pages of a 2-page PDF file side by side using Preview. At the very least, this behavior should be controllable from preferences (e.g. a check-box for "always display even-numbered pages on left in 2-page view" that can be unchecked).
The various Adobe PDF-reading programs do not have this "feature", so I guess you need to use something like that to solve the problem.
