Preview pane

i am using Mail.app 2.1.1
how can i make the preview pane on the right (as with entourage and outlook) ?

There is no way to do it by configuring Mail.
That said, there are some "hacks" that let you replace a couple resource files in Mail itself which will do this. For example Letterbox:

Note this isn't supported by Apple, so my suggestion is to back up the Mail application (copy it somewhere) before tweaking it.

  • 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.

    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?

    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,

  • Documents saved in firefox format cannot be viewed in the preview pane. Why? Also, I don't want my documents changed to another format. How do I change back?

    Documents in Firefox format do not open automatically in the preview pane. Why? Also, I don't want my documents changed from the original format. How do I change them back and how do I keep this from happening again. I don't want to have to select a different format every time I try to open a document. That is a pain in the neck. I want to "click to open" and the document be in it's original format. If necessary I will go back to one of the other browsers I have used in the past. As I don't want multiple browsers on my computer it would be necessary to uninstall Firefox. I like it so far other than you all hijacking my documents and altering the way they open. You also might want to remember that even the "legitimate" folks on the internet are seen as predatory, i.e., gathering information, tricking us into installing crap we don't want or need, and in some cases, requiring a specific program to open a specific document. I'd be working very hard to show you are trustworthy. If you have a solution to this and it is complex then you will be wasting your time and my time trying to explain it. You guys created this so, if I'm going to use Firefox, you fix it on your end. FYI, if I have to uninstall Firefox I will, when asked, strongly recommend against using your service. Thank you.

    Do you mean PDF documents?
    The installer was supposed to add Firefox as an ADDITIONAL viewer for PDFs, not as the DEFAULT viewer. Sorry you were affected by this glitch and hopefully they will figure out why some systems get changed this way.
    You can try this fix suggested by a user in another thread:
    # Open Adobe Reader / Acrobat*
    # Edit->Preferences
    # In the Categories column click 'General'
    # Near the bottom of the page click the button marked 'Select Default PDF Handler'
    # In the dialog, select 'Adobe Reader XI' (or Adobe Acrobat, as the case may be) and click 'Apply'
    # A Windows Configuration screen will appear. Allow it to do its stuff (takes a few minutes), then restart your computer when prompted.
    Does that work for you?

  • Preview pane is not working in Jdeveloper

    Hi Experts , I need your help in resolving my issue. i am developing adf mobile application and during this development when i click on the 'preview' button nothing is displayed on the preview pane.
    I don't see any error message as well.
    I am able to deploy the application to the android emulator and its working fine there.
    Jdev details :
    Build JDEVADF_11.1.2.4.0_GENERIC_130421.1600.6436.1
    Java(TM) Platform : 1.6.0_24

    Now that I've looked at the linked article...
    That was showing you how to use a very early version of ADF Faces (a pre-release, in fact) with a very old version of JDeveloper. That document is nearly 9 years old.
    Starting with JDeveloper 10.1.3, ADF Faces is "built-in"
    And since JDeveloper 10.1.3.x, we have had both the JDeveloper 11.1.1.x and 11.1.2.x series released.
    Why are you still using 10.1.2.x?

  • How to I stop the Preview Pane in Windows 7 retaining control when I open a PDF document using Adobe Acrobat (Reader is NOT installed)

    I have the preview pane active when selecting PDF Documents.  When I open a PDF document I am unable to save any changes. the error message I receive:
    "The documents could not be saved. The file ma be read-only,or another user may have it open. Please save the document with a different name of in a different folder"
    The document is not read only and no other user has it open.  If I turn the preview pane OFF there is no problem saving changes.  I have also un-installed Adobe Reader.
    Other programs (such as Excel, Word) do not experience the same problems as the PDF documents.
    Does anyone have a solution?

    Hi snoreaustralia,
    It sounds like you just need to associate the PDF filename extension with Acrobat, rather than Preview. Please see this document from the Microsoft Help for instructions on choosing the default program for opening a particular file type (in your case, PDF): Change which programs Windows uses by default - Windows Help
    Best,

  • Why is the body/content of all my emails invisible except for a few lines in the small preview pane?

    The body/content of my emails is invisible in the large/main part of the screen when using the mail app on my iPad.  I can see some of the text from each email in the small preview pane on the left side of the screen (when holding iPad in landscape orientation).  The only way I can read the content of an email is to forward or reply and then the body/content appears.  How do I fix this problem??

    Try turning the account off and on : Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars , then tap the account on the right, slide Mail to 'off', exit settings and go back into the Mail app, and then go back to Settings and slide Mail back to 'on'
    If that doesn't work then try closing the Mail app completely : from the home screen (i.e.not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    Also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • PE preview pane keeps distorting pics and turns everything green

    I recently upgraded to photoshop and premier elements 8.  I have been having problems with the preview pane in premier turning all the photos green (as if there is a green filter on top of the photos.  Has anyone got any suggestions?  I can't figure out why it is doing this.  The photos in the organizer look fine as well as the filmstrip view on the bottom.  It only happens when I run the preview.  If I click on the photo in the preview pane, the green goes away and the photo looks fine. 

    It does seem like your question is specifically a Premiere Elements question, rather than Photoshop Elements.
    There is a separate Premiere Elements forum at http://forums.adobe.com/community/premiere/premiere_elements and I recommend that you post there.

  • TIFF thumbnails do not enlarge in either preview pane or content pane?

    I have CS6 Bridge and Photoshop on a new 2014 iMac.
    The thumbnail size as viewed on screen is a limited size (around 2cm x 1cm).  Enlarging the preview pane just increases the space around the thumbnail rather than the thumbnail increasing to fill the pane.  Similarly, in the folder contents panel, if I use the slider bottom right in Bridge this only inreases the size of the space around the thumbnail.  It is almost as if I have the max cache set at something really small.  But, I don't, it's set at 1000MB.
    This phenomenon applies, oddly, only to tiff files.  If I use Bridge CS6 to view jpeg or raw files from multiple cameras (.dng,.cr2) it works perfectly.  So, only tiffs is the problem. 
    Any similar problems, resolutions, greatly appreciated.  For the moment I have to use Bridge CS4 with PS CS6 as my workround.
    Thanks.

    All of a sudden my Bridge Content panel does not show any info on thumbnail
    photos, neither file number nor any metadata preferences.  Info is OK in the
    Metadata window, but not on Content pane
    Also, the file folder thumbnail icons in Content panel now have the file
    numbers super-imposed over the file instead of below.
    That is caused by accidently hit cmd+T and that command does hide the
    thumbnail info and put the name of the folder over the icon.
    Hit cmd + T again to solve this or go the menu view and deselect the Show
    thumbnail only command
    Coincidentally the font size of my Metadata panel suddenly got bigger and
    bolder, not the Keyword panel or any other, just Metadata.  Doesn't really
    bother me, but seems odd these have all just happened
    That I have not seen before but might be solved with resetting the prefs as
    Tai Lao described in his post.

  • Preview Pane and broken link issues in CS2 for Mac.  Please help!

    I posted this a few days ago - but would love to have some insight on how we can resolve this issue
    When I am working on html documents, both old and new, I have lost all of the 'preview pane' buttons.
    I can still see and have access to the layout and source panes, but the two preview (pdf and regular) are missing.
    In the body of the editor all of the images that were there now show just a broken link image (but when you save and go to view the file in a browser all changes and updates are there.  The source shows all of the right info and links
    Also when you place a new image - the image icon doesn't show the image or even change to the proper size that the image is.  You have to do that manually and then still only shows a broken icon in the new size.
    Has anyone seen this before?  Did I accidentally altered a mode in GoLive....is there a way to fix it? 
    Thanks!!!

    When you have ADE (digital editions) open with  "bookshelves" page with a "Getting Started with Adobe Digital Editions" booklet in it,
    enter cmd-shift-U, or menu/Help/Authorize Computer.
    That will ask for your Adobe ID and password and authorize the computer.
    Once that has been done you shouldn't need to do it again.
    Sometimes you do need to if things go wrong, but you certainly shouldn't have to do it at all regularly.
    When that has been done, plug in the Kobo; it should show up in the left pane of ADE.
    Use "menu/Help/Authorize Device" and that will authorize your Kobo with the Adobe ID from the Mac.
    You can then copy books by drag-dropping onto the Kobo within ADE

  • 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?
