Preview gets stuck when opening a picture

Hi everyone,
Everytime I open photo's via "preview" in Dutch it is called "voorvertoning" so I don't know exactly if the English word is ok for that.
But everytime I open the standard picture viewer on my macbook air it gets stuck. My whole macbook stops working and wants to send reports to Apple. Even safari stops working. Also finder is totally stuck at that moment. I'd have to restart (only pushing the on/off button works then, because manually via the menu bar is also not possible then anymore). There is no way I get it working again, no hard stop or whatever you call that, nothing...
Is there a way I can fix this, because it starts to really annoy me.
Thanks
Ann

Back up all data. Quit Preview if it's running.
Hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar. From the Library folder, delete the following items, if they exist:
          Containers/com.apple.Preview
          Containers/com.apple.quicklook.ui.helper
          Group Containers/com.apple.Preview
          Preferences/com.apple.Preview.LSSharedFileList.plist
          Preferences/com.apple.Preview.SandboxedPersistentURLs.LSSharedFileList.plist
          Saved Application State/com.apple.Preview.savedState
Log out and log back in. Launch the application and test.

Mail and Preview get stuck using way too much CPU

Has anyone else had an issue with either Mail or Preview getting stuck using over 100% CPU for no apparant reason. This has only happened since downloading 10.8.
With Mail, I can't figure out what sets it off. It happens occasionally when I'm replying to an email, but it doesn't happen everytime. When it happens I have to quit Mail to get it to stop.
With Preview, it happens on some pdf documents when I search for a word. After I'm done searching, the CPU percentage will be going crazy (!00-125%) until I quit the app.
I have a 2011 Mac Mini with 2.3 ghz processor and 8 G RAM

Not a solution, but if the Podcast feed is dormant, why not unsubscribe?
As to the file structure for media on the device it is deliberately obscured as a countermeasure to casual piracy. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device. Content put on the iPod by a non-iPod aware product is going to treat it like any external drive. The iPod firmware won't read that media.

PSE 6 on Mac Book Pro Crashes when opening a picture

Whenever I try to open a picture PSE crashes. This is similar to another post but I should not be having RAM or generation issues. I have removed and downloaded from different DMGs all to no avail. Please advise.
Thanks

Thanks for the comment but I wasn't asking about viruses. The thread I asked on solved the other user's issue because of the Norton incompatibility. I was referring to the original question which had nothing to do with viruses. I open elements and try to open a picture from iphoto to work on and elements quits. Since I don't have Norton or any other anti virus program, I was hoping there was another explanation which would apply to my situation. Any ideas?

There's really no need for Norton on the Mac - because there is no such thing as a Mac virus. I realize that this could change tomorrow, but as of today, there is no such thing as a Mac virus. There hasn't been for about a decade.
You can remove Norton. I removed it from my Macs about a decade ago.
To prevent any future viruses from getting in, set up a new sub-user account on your Mac, and start using it. Don't run your Mac as the Administrator.
When you run as a lowly user, your Mac keeps an eye over what you do, and demands the Administrator's name and password whenever you do something suspicious. That won't be a problem 99.9% of the time. It's only a problem when you try to install an application or a utility.
Keep that limitation in mind, and use it to your advantage. A virus is an application that pretends to be something else. It lures you into installing that virus onto your computer. Let's say in the future you download what you think is a photo. It's really a virus. You double-click on it to launch Photoshop Elements. Instead, you launch the virus, which starts to install itself on your Mac.
At that point, everything comes to a screeching halt when the Mac operating system stops the installation, and puts a message on the screen. That message will say something like, "Please type the Administrator's name and password to INSTALL THIS APPLICATION into the Applications Folder." That is your tipoff that you aren't dealing with a photo. You are dealing with an application.
At this point, you should ask yourself, "Why is a photo trying to install anything?" Whenever the Mac operating system asks for the Administrator's name and password, you should ask yourself if you know exactly what is being installed.
If you were running your Mac as the Administrator, then you wouldn't get this warning messages. The Mac would say, "Well, I guess he knows what he's doing, so I'll install this application." And the still-to-be-written virus would be installed on your Mac. It's a lot easier to keep viruses off your computer than to try to remove them once they get in.
This is why you don't need anti-virus software on the Mac - if you have an intelligent user operating the computer as a sub-user.

Preview crashes consistently when opening certain PDFs

Preview crashes consistently when opening certain PDFs. I have Adobe Acrobat Professional and it is able to read the PDFs. Preview declares that "Couldn’t open the file. It may be corrupt or a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize." and crashes. It is less than graceful. I also have noticed that every time it crashes, I lose 40MB of disk space.
Other than individually marking "bad" files as acrobat files are there any solutions to this poor behavior by preview.
I also need to know how to recover the disk space. I have no idea where the files are being created. I checked /cores, but no joy.

Hi,
Try deleting the Preview and Sidebar preference files.
Open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Now open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
Move the com.apple.Preview.plist and the com.apple.sidebarlists.plist files from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
See if that makes a difference.

One Flash CC project gets stuck when publishing in IOS. It will quickly publish as Android, and other projects will publish as IOS. Not sure what to change.

One Flash CC project gets stuck when publishing in IOS. It will quickly publish as Android, and other projects will publish as IOS. Not sure what to change.

Thanks for the info.
I've recently stumbled on an article on how to view the packaged file (apk) published using AIR 3.2 for Android setting (Adobe Flash CS6). All you need to do is change the extension of the file from (.apk) to (.rar) or (.zip) and extract the file as you would with any other zip or rar file. I was able to confirm that the packaged file (apk) indeed contain all the videos for the presentation. I have more than 80 videos in the presentation. All videos included in the package are of the same video format and resolution (FLV 320x240) but of different duration. I intentionally included the all the videos inside the package so I can use the presentation anywhere and anytime without the need to connect to the internet. The packaged apk file size is (1.23GB) the file includes the project's swf and xml file, the component swf and videos.
When installed to android I noticed that the package remained as an apk file. Not really sure if android temporarily unpacks it when you run the app.
Testing phase:
I see no problem when I'm testing the project on my desktop computer. But when packaged and installed on my device the problem arise.
Problem:
I'm able to install and run the app on my device but wont play some of the videos included in the package.
Was this due to the limited RAM or processor of my android device?
I wanted to distribute the presentation to friends so i was trying to package it for easy access and installation on their device.
Alternative Solution:
I installed a third party app called SWF player by BIT LABS. Copied all the files to my device (the project's swf and component swf with the videos). The project worked like a charm the player (SWF player) and was able to run the presentation as if it was running of my desktop. All buttons and videos working properly. Although the alternative solution worked for me I still wanted to package the presentation for easy access and distribution to friends.
Please help...Thanks in advance.

Does anyone have some experience with this? It's a fairly good sized backup (well, for me at least) so I'd really hate to have to start over every time one fails!

Ok, solved-ish. There were actually 3 issues:
1. There's a problem in the 0.6.18 new python paraminko ssh internals that was preventing it from uploading more than about 1GB at a time, possibly because it's reusing the same ssh connection which some webhosts will kick off after a certain time or amount.
2. The --num-retries parameter wasn't being read by the ssh backend
3. There's a bug in some encryption validation code that had to be removed before a 'resume backup' operation would work correctly (it won't read the GPG encryption key correctly).
So I reverted to 0.6.17 and removed a previously applied patch from the code found here.
So far it seems to be working. The dev who answered me on Launchpad said that there's a memory leak with 0.6.17 so watch out when doing any backups over ~100GB or so.

My ipod touch 2nd gen gets stuck when updating ios 4.2

It's not supposed to. You need a newer device to use applications which require iOS 4.3 or above.

Yes. They don't make any sense to me either. Are we supposed to be looking at a blank dark gray rectangle, or has the upload process failed the OP ?

Iphone 4s getting stuck when syncing...

my iphone is getting stuck when trying to finish sync saying, "waiting for changes to be applied"
anyone have this problem and how to fix?
please.

It's me again!
I think I've located the problem (at least in my case). I use a ringtone program called iToner 2 and that is what's apparently causing a conflict and syncing issues with my iPhone. I installed my ringtones from iToner 2 and the sync issues re-occurred. After deleting my iToner 2 ringtones, I was able to sync again.
My guess is that some application that you are using that works in some way with iTunes or your iPhone is what's causing the sync issues. I would suggest finding that particular application and not using it until it gets updated to work with iTunes 10.5 and iOS5.
I hope this helps! Good Luck!

Ipod gets "stuck" when rating songs

My ipod will repeatedly get "stuck" when I rate a song. Hitting the middle-button only scrolls to the rating option again. It sometimes take 4-8 times hitting the middle-button to get it to get un-stuck. My ipod also crashed on me within 2 months of owning it. Could this be indicative of some sort of data corruption or lurking problem waiting to crash my ipod again?

In iphoto-Why am I getting a question mark when opening a picture?

Starting a couple of days ago I have been having difficulty dragging pictures out of iphoto. It just won't let me. Now when I try to open a picture in iphoto it shows a big explanation point. I am so frustrated. The only thing I did recently was to download a trial of Adobe Elements. I don't know if there is a connection but I deleted it. I am still having the problem. Please help! Thanks, Dee

Dee:
I don't think the Elements install had anything to do with the problem. That ! is a result of iPhoto losing the path to the original file. Run the three fixes below in order as needed:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options.
2 - rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos.
3 - start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your original library as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
1. Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
2. Open the library package like this.
3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
4. Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Why are emails getting stuck in outbox and picture msgs not sending??

I just traded my iphone 4s and got an iphone5.
I have my work email (exchange) and my gmail account set up on my phone. As soon as I updated to IOS 6, I started to have these problems:
When I send emails out, they get stuck in my outbox.
When sending picture msgs, they just stay in sending status.
A problem with Internet links not opening on safari.
I did everything that you can think of, restarted the phone, reset network settings, restored to factory settings and setup as NEW iphone, checked all email and exchange settings (all are correct) and they way they worked on my 4S, deleted my exchange profile on the work server.
I did all that you can think of and nothing was a permanent fix.
Apple Geniuses, please help us get this resolved. Other co-works are having the same problems.

Are you still using iOS 7.0.3 as stated in your profile? if so, update to 7.1. If already on 7.1:
1. Reset phone (no data loss): Press both the home and power buttons, releasing when the Apple logo appears.
2. Delete and re-enter your iCloud account.
