Preview is missing, what now???

I lost preview 4.0! It was there one day and gone the next. All I have now is the first verson of preview and it will not open in 10.5.8. Can anyone tell me if there is a way to get it back? Also, how it the **** did it leave in the first place. needing a little help here.
Thanks

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Find the 10.5 installer disc that installed 10.5 on your machine and use http://www.charlessoft.com/ 's Pacifist to extract Preview and put it in your Applications folder.
Then run the 10.5.8 combo update http://support.apple.com/kb/DL866
Finally repair permissions with Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility.  Select First Aid, and click on the hard disk on the left side of the Disk Utility window.  Repair Permissions should become clickable.  Once that is done, Preview should launch fine.

    Don't despair Look at "Vintapps" in the Apple app store.  It has tons of available apps for all those earlier ios devices.  And you can download them right to your ios device.  Many are free.
    Although I wrote this 99 cent app specifically to help solve this problem, I need to add that "I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link."
    Be sure to keep backups of older software.  Once an app is updated, the older version is no longer available to be downloaded from Apple.

    in CS5 or later--it's in the preferences panel

  • The recovery mode is missing and now i can't install the software , what can i do?

    The recovery mode is missing , what i can do to acces again, becalisme now i can'T install the software      

    If you got the Mac new before July 20, 2011, call AppleCare for the original discs.
    If you got the Mac new before March 15, 2010, get the 10.6 retail installer disc from the http://store.apple.com/
    If you got the Mac new after July 20, 2011, boot with command-R.   
    If you have no backup, get a data recovery tool as the hard drive may be failing if command-R doesn't work and the aforementioned solutions don't help.
    If it doesn't work but have a backup, you may need to get a new hard drive, or repair the directory with a tool such as Alsoft Disk Warrior.

  • Missing pairing file what now?

    just restored my ipad 1 to factory, and updated it to 5.1. When I try to connect to itunes it says it can not connect because pairing files are missing. What now?

    Make sure your computer is up to date. Restart your computer and iPad first.

  • Mozilla was slow and i have reset it! Now, all my bookmarks are gone and when I try to recover it, it says not possible to process the file! WHAT NOW?

    Today my Mozilla was slow and as the solution i was offered below is reset to its default settings and Mozilla would like to keep all the old data! Of course, that I did that and for a minute an unpleasant surprise!
    No bookmarks, no history nor can add Bookmarks in the toolbar or the back button works (works with backspaceom) nor offers page while typing in adressbar.
    I find a bunch of online tutorials recovery but nothing! Firefox is saved on the desktop folder "Firefox old data" but when I go importat says "file can not be prosecuted."
    What now?
    Bookmarksi are very important to me and I am now as one eye!
    Now Mozilla is not remembering browsing history neither!
    OS is W7 Pro 64
    Comp is HP8710w
    Thank you!

    Hello,
    Firefox automatically creates backups of your bookmarks, which can be helpful if your bookmarks are lost or missing. To recover them, follow the instructions below.
    #Use <u>one</u> of these methods to open the Bookmarks Library window:
    #*Click the ''[[Display the Firefox button menu instead of the menu toolbar|Firefox button]]'' to open the menu and click on ''Bookmarks''.
    #*Click the ''Bookmarks'' menu and click on ''Show All Bookmarks''.
    # At the top of the Library window, click the "Import and Backup" menu and select Restore.
    # Click the date of the bookmark backup you want to recover.
    # In the new window that appears, click OK.
    # Your bookmarks from the selected date should now be restored.
    For more information, see the [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]] article. For other solutions, see the [[Recover lost or missing Bookmarks]] article.

    After updating ITunes, it, ITunes started loosing my music files and stopped playing more than one song at a time also there would be duplicate songs in the same folders.What now?

    Sound like something messed up somehow. Maybe you can consider reinstalling the drivers again? @28.86.2.0

  • While updating my ipad1 to IOS5 it crashed!! What now??

    While updating my ipad1 to IOS5 it crashed!! What now??

    Crashed meaning it will not start now? Try resetting the iPad and go from there.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Give more details as well for better instructions from the community.

  • I have an iMac G4 PowerPC with OS 10.5.? The OS10.5.8 update failed. Now get blue screen and error-can't find Intel Power Manager. What now??

    I have an iMac G4 PowerPC with OS 10.5.? After deleting 17G of music files to make room on the 74G drive, The iPhoto and iWeb updates seemed to load okay, but the OS 10.5.8 update failed - message opened said the computer encountered an error and must shut down. Now I get the blue screen. Startup with 'V' pressed shows multiple lines saying: error-can't find IntelCPU Power Manager. What now?? I  reset PRAM, I think.....?????

    I am concerned that you might have applied a system updated intended for an Intel iMac, while you have a PPC (non-Intel) iMac. Your PPC OS should not be looking for an "IntelCPU Power Manager."
    Have you tried booting from the 10.5 install DVD/CD and repairing the hard drive, plus repairing permissions?
    If you done the repairs mentioned above, and your problem still persists, you can also try doing a safe boot. (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1455 ) Then, if none of these things worked, if I were in your shoes (it's hard to diagnose these things without being there in person) I would first check that there is adequate disk space, then I would boot from the 10.5 DVD/CD install disk and reinstall the operating system. There is an option to do an archive and install preserving user files/settings, that would be the option you want, as it will save your files but install a new OS. Make sure you have a good backup of your files first. If you do not have one, use "target mode" to copy all your files before embarking on an new OS install. Assuming that you do succeed with this install, then use Software Update to get the right updates for your iMac.

    Hi texasslagle,
    It sounds like you are having issues installing iTunes on your Windows 7 PC, a frustrating situation I am sure.
    There is an article that you may want to use to try to complete your install here -
    iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open

    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Unable to install iTunes on Widows 7. Error: A DLL required could not be run. What now?

    I am unable to install iTunes on Widows 7. I get this Error Message during installation: There is a problem with this Windows Installer Package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.
    What now please?

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it, which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
