Preview pane gone - restore?

Simple question.. the email preview pane had left me (likely through some error on my part) how do I restore it?

What mail client? (You are posting in the Safari web browser forum.)
If you mean Apple Mail, in the main Mail window look at the very bottom for a light gray bar, about 1 mm high, with a little dot in the center of it. Double-click in that bar, or click the bar and drag it upwards to restore your preview pane.
Hope this helps...

  • Preview pane gone

    My preview pane was set to be side-by-side in a vertical column next to my inbox list, but recently I dragged my preview pane to the right and now it's gone. I can't find it and can't seem to get it to be visible again. Can anyone tell me how to get it back? Thanks!

    Is there not a small dot on the ride border that you can click and drag to the left? Are you running 10.6.8, higher?
    In 10.6.8 you can only drag from the bottom. But later versions it can be on the right side (looks te same)

  • Hide/Disable preview pane in Mail

    Previously one could double-click the border seperating the preview pane from the list of messages to hide the preview pane.
    In the Mail application in Mavericks this border is no longer visible. How can I hide the preview pane in Mail on Mavericks?

    Hi,
    If you switch to Classic View in Mail Prefs, drag the Horizontal Splitter down to the bottom of the screen then switch back to Modern View, the Preview pane will be gone from both views.    

  • HT3149 iPhoto 09 When I click on the preview pane to move a photo into edit, it shows up black and the edit buttons are not active.  How do I fix that?

    When I click on the preview pane to move a photo into the edit pane, there is no image just a black square and the edit buttons are not active. A few images in an event will move to the edit pane but most will not.  I cannot work with those images that do not enter the edit pane..no attaching to email, make a card, slideshow, etc.

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Missing preview pane in Open dialog box

    Recently, the preview pane doesn't show in any file open dialog boxes. For instance, when viewing the list of files in the open dialog box I was previously able to single click on a file and to the right, I would see a preview of the file as well as some basic info. Now, that pane is gone. What's particularly vexing is that this is happening on both my MacBook and my MacBook Pro. On the MBP, I was running 10.6.2 and I ran Software update yesterday to 10.6.3 in an effort to fix it, but the problem is still there.

    While I'm not quite sure what you mean, it sounds to me like you had the Open dialog set for Column view, and at some point changed it to List view. Take a look at the toolbar at the top of the Open dialog window, you should see the back/forward buttons, then a group of three icons representing icon, list and column view. Both icon view and column view will show a preview icon of the selected file. Personally, I like icon view, since you see all the files that fit in the window with custom thumbs, and can pick what you want quickly. If you change the setting, in say Safari, to list view (which makes more sense in Safari), then the Open dialog for, say, TextEdit gets changed too. Just change it back by clicking the little icon in the toolbar at the top of the Open window.

  • I've lost the toolbar, looking for a way to eliminate the preview pane below the list of emails.

    In attempting to eliminate the preview pane (which I don't like) I accidentally eliminated the toolbar at the top. Since it's no longer there, I can't get the 'tools' option, and so I'd like to restore it. How?

    Thanks for the reply.
    I'm not using cc cleaner.
    This started after an update. Somewhere there must be an option box to turn off this feature permanently, but no one seems to know where it is. I must turn it off every time under view, layout, message pane.
    I have no need for this feature. If I want to see the email i open it. If not I delete it. Having it take up half of my email page is a totally useless feature.
    Any suggestions

  • Message of Email from a Specific Person is Blank - but I can see the start of the message in the Preview Pane

    I'm having an unusual problem with recieving emails from just one person.  When she replys to an email, I can see the original message, but not her message.  If she sends me a "fresh" email, the message is totally blank.  In both cases, I can see the first couple lines of her email in the preview pane so I know the content is in there somehow.
    She can receive my emails fine.  Other people on the same email thread seem to receive her emails fine.  Any ideas on a workaround or fix?

    Shame on me...i upgraded today my iPad 3 and 4S to 5.1.1 and like you my Gmail Box configured as Exchange for Push, is completely broken :|
    I can't read my calendars, can't update my contact list and also my email are not downloaded.
    This is completely ridicuolous because i also tried to remove the account and restore the devices...nothing worked

  • Multiple instances of AcroRd32.exe while using Windows Explorer Preview Pane

    I'm trying to understand why our computers behave differently while browsing PDF files using Windows Explorer with the preview pane turned on.
    All are Windows 7 Pro 32-bit.
    The scenario:  Open Windows Explorer with the preview pane turned on, go to a folder full of PDF files, and start single-clicking on them, one by one down the list.  Keep Task Manager open, on the Processes tab, showing processes from all users, as you click on the PDF files.
    On two of the computers, you can keep clicking right on the down the list, and the preview pane shows the PDF file contents immediately with each click.  The Task Manager does not show any instances of AcroRd32.exe running, and the machine does not slow down no matter how quickly you go down the list of files.  You can keep clicking all day.
    On the other two computers, as you keep clicking down the list, after about six or seven clicks, the machine starts getting slower and slower in responding to display the PDF contents.  In Task Manager, you see multiple instances of AcroRd32.exe executing, and the list keeps growing with more instances - I've seen up to 8, with memory allocations to some of the instances approaching 700MB!  One of the CPU cores goes to 100%. If you stop clicking in Windows Explorer, eventually, the machine recovers, and the list of multiple instances of AcroRd32.exe shrinks, but never goes away completely until you close the Explorer window.
    What could account for this difference?  One of the users is complaining - he often browses folders of scanned PDFs looking for invoices, transactions, etc., and has to go slowly to keep his machine from bogging down.  I don't know when this behavior started.
    It doesn't matter if it is a shared folder on a network resource or one locally on the machine, or if it is an admin or standard Windows account - the behavior is the same.  I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Reader, to no avail.
    Thanks for any ideas.

    Yes i'm having this issue to.
    Becomes worse after display many documents in pane, worst even if scanned images are in.
    After killing the  process, sometimes it generate even more process.
    After Killing all the process, sometimes need to deactivate the pane view and activate
    again to restore normal preview.
    Sometimes it takes a lot of time to progress to file below, if i wait, going to files above, it pass
    the file that shows delay, without any problem.
    I add received from Microsoft, in answer to the same issue to uninstall adobe reader and install
    latest version. It become a bit more stable, but problem still shows.
    Abobe reader: 10.1.0, ATI latest drivers 11-07
    Please, Help!

  • Preview Pane missing

    Hi there.
    My MD is missing his preview pane.
    I have tried to double click at the bottom where it should be, but its not there.
    At the bottom, is just the end of mail, its hard to explain, but there is no bar to double click on to get the preview pane back up.
    Is there another way to do this?
    I have tried quitting mail, restarting, and re-sizing the mail window, but all to no avail.
    Anyone got any other suggestions?

    My Preview Pane suddenly went missing, too. One moment it was there, next moment I looked up and it was gone!
    The real PITA though is the total lack of reference in Mail Help, not only on how to open a Preview Pane, but not even acknowledging that such a thing exists. I've searched on everywhere key word I can think of and zip, nada, nowhere.
    If anybody knows how to open a preview pane in the Mail app, PLEASE post it here.
    Without a preview pane, it's virtually useless.
    This is my first real disappointment with MacBook. As a tech writer I find the MacBook Help documentation pretty pathetic.

  • Mail preview pane

    Hi,
    Can someone tell me how to get the preview pane bar back please?
    I'm using Mail 2.1.1 and lost the preview pane earlier today. Everything I'm reading online says there should be a bar with a circle on it under the list of emails, which can be clicked or dragged to restore the pane.
    I haven't got this on my Mail window, all I can see is my list of email's disappearing off the bottom.
    Can anyone help please..??!
    Cheers,
    Dave

    You’re welcome.
    Yes, re-creating com.apple.mail.plist would be the next thing to try here -- maybe there is something wrong with the setting that determines where the bar should appear. Proceed as follows:
    1. Quit Mail if it’s running.
    2. Make a backup copy of the ~/Library/Mail folder, just in case something goes wrong while trying to solve the problem. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is stored.
    3. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Preferences/. Locate com.apple.mail.plist and move it to the Desktop (to be deleted if this fixes the problem).
    4. Open Mail. You’ll have to set up your non-.Mac accounts from scratch all over again. If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don’t. Just enter the account information and Mail will automagically rediscover the data in ~/Library/Mail/ when done.
    You’ll also have to re-configure most of your settings in Mail > Preferences. For spam-related security reasons, the first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it’s enabled.
    5. As a side effect of re-creating com.apple.mail.plist, Mail might rename Outbox (which is where messages waiting to be sent are stored) to Delivered. The name of that mailbox is actually a misnomer, as it would contain messages (if any) that couldn’t be delivered for some reason. You can delete that mailbox if you wish.
    Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user’s home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the folder path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the folder path there.

  • Why is the Filename in the Preview Pane blurry/fuzzy?

    Can anyone tell me why this happens? And how do you fix it?

    Preview pane problems are frequently video card/driver problems.  Make sure drivers are up to date.
    If you purge cache in tools/cache/purge cache for xxx folder does that change anything?

  • Previewing clips in Events pane do not play correctly in Preview Pane

    Overall I like iMovie '08 very much, but I have one issue that it really annoying. Basically all of my footage was shot with Casio or Fuji digicams and lives in my iPhoto library. When iMovie imported these clips to the events pane, it looked as if all was fine. However, when I drag my mouse over certain clips to preview them, a different clip actually shows up in the preview pane. I can make selections and add them to the timeline, and when I replay them they look fine in the preview window - it only happens when I preview clips by dragging my mouse. Any ideas?

    If you provide some specific information about what cam, sequence settings, codec, FCP, QT and OS version numbers, it would be helpful.

  • Video Lags Behind Audio in Preview Pane, Timeline and Rendered Video

    Hello,
    I'm having an issue with a six minute video that I grabbed from the media browser in Premeire and am attempting to use in my timline.  The first few mins of the 6 minute video is fine, but as the video progresses in the preview pane the video starts lagging behind and finally towards the end is probably half a second behind.  The mp4 file plays fine outside the confines of Premeire.  I've tried reloading a new file, etc, but nothing seems to work.
    Also, I uploaded another file that works fine.  No audio lag.  However, the file that works I grabbed from my Kodak flip camera, the file in question is from a Flipcam.  The file that works is a .mov.  As I mentioned, the file with the lagging audio is an mp4.  It seemed to work fine before in other projects.  Also, I noticed that lately that Premeire is a bit slow.  It wasn't as slow a week ago.
    I'm using an iMac with a 3.6GHz Intel Core i5 processor with 4MB level 3 cache, 1 Terabyte of disk space, 4GB of ram, ATI Radeon HD 5750 graphics processor with 1GB of GDDR5 memory.
    I'm not sure if there's some setting's that I'm missing or what.  I'm not very clear on capture settings when I open a project.  When I opened the project I was a little confused about what settings to use.
    Thanks very much.
    Jim

    Maybe - any chance to check those files on a G4/G5/Intals Mac or a Windows PC? btw. at what speed is your G3 running?

  • HT2500 How do I not display the preview pane in mail until I open it with a double click? Some mail I do not wish to open-just delete it.

    Just drag the divider line between the preview pane and the message list all the way to the edge so the preview is completely closed. Selected messages will open in a new window with a double-click or the return key.

  • After updating to the latest Reader XI - pdf preview no longer show up in the explorer preview pane

    After finally allowing Adobe to update my reader - I no longer can see pdf files in the preview pane.  I can see previews if I have medium or large icons turned on - but a large version in the preview pane.  And never if small icons or details are used.  I could see these files fine before the update.  If I right click in the preview pane - I have the option to open the pdf, etc.  It's like it is there but I cannot see it.  If I close the acrord in the task manager, the next pdf file I click on will have a preview.  However, after that, no preview showing for any others.  The only way a preview is in the preview pane is if the application is killed in task manager between every attempt.
    Why is this happening?

    Hi precious_star,
    Could you please let me know what version of OS are you using.
    Open Acrobat and go to "Edit > Preferences > Page Display" and check whether 'Show large images' option is checked.
    Is this issue specific for one PDF?
    If possible, please share the file with me via email so that I can also check at my end.
    I have sent you a message with my contact id details.
    Hope to get your response.
    Regards,
    Anubha
