Preview software not working after installing yosemite. need help

I have to regularly use pdf files for university work but from the moment i have updated to Yosemite, Preview software suddenly stops and prompts error opening and so i have to download other software or use different method to read but i don't want to install apps when i already have one. So please help me.

Please reinstall Yosemite.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks, or Yosemite
OS X Yosemite- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

The availability panel for my corporate calendar no longer works after installing Yosemite. I get a message that says "This calendar does not support availability." This was working before I installed Yosemite. Is there a configuration I need to change?

Illustrator CC 2014 open and place commands not working after installing Yosemite

How can I get Illustrator Open and Place commands to work after installing Yosemite?

Hello,
I also have the same problem, after 5 minutes I can't open or place anything in illustrator. I have this problem also in photoshop cc 2014. This started after installing Yosemite.
Tried to reinstall but nothing helps.
Today after updating creative cloud application it is even worse: illustrator is not opening anything: not even a new file. So I reinstalled... and I can open again for 5 minutes. But then it crashed while saving. Now I can't open illustrator at all...so nothing left to do then reinstalling again I suppose?

IPhoto not working after installing Yosemite

After installing Yosemite the iPhoto icon on the dock has a circle/line symbol superimposed. Get a message saying iPhoto needs to be updated, but when I try to update I get "Update unavailable for this Apple ID." (I have used my current Apple ID at least since 2011, and have used it to update iPhoto previously.)

Right, App Store Support solved my problem.(iPhoto & iMovie were packaged with my iMac when I bought it. Upgrading from Mountain Lion to Yosemite wiped that out, and these apps did not show up in my purchased list. This would not have happened if Maverick had been installed prior to Yosemite.)

IMessage not working after installing Yosemite

Vuze not working after installing Yosemite

I did an upgrade from Mountain Lion to yosemite today after months of putting it off. Everything went great, mail is working etc and all looking good. Except Vuze - it will not open at all. i kept getting a message to install the latest Java, which I did and still not working. I googled the problem and lots of people talking about using a different installer and providing the link, so I did that one too. At the end it said Vuze has been installed successfully. But when i click on the icon at the bottom of my screen it still gives me the error message 'To open Fuze you need to install the legacy Java SE 6 runtime'. Then when i click More info, I'm back to where i started. Please help - and I want to be able to save my library of course too. All my files are on an external hard drive and I run time machine regularly.
I'm not very technically savvy, so any help and advice would be much appreciated. Please help me get my Vuze working again. Thank you.

from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with.

Hp Laserjet 1012 not working after installing Yosemite

After updating to OSX Yosemite, my laserjet 1012 printer no longer works. I've tried downloading the new hp update in the app store multiple times after removing the printer and previous drivers with no luck.
My computer is recognizing the printer, and when i try to print something, the page comes out with "Unsupported Personality: PCL" at the top.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem that works? I've already spent a few hours trying suggestions from other forums.

To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since the HP Laserjet 1012 is a commercial product. You can do this at HP Enterprise Business Community.

Finder does not work after installing Yosemite

I loaded Yosemite and now my Finder will not load. When I click on the finder icon I get a message Finder could not open. I looked at what is currently on several boards and tried most of the suggestions including reinstalling Yosemite without success. There is a black dot next to the Finder icon which blinks. I have an I MAC with 8 GB RAM and 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5. Help would be appreciated.

Launch the Console 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. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
          SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
          View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter the name of the crashed application or process. For example, if Safari crashed, you would enter "Safari" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
☞ The log contains a vast amount of information, almost all of which is irrelevant to solving any particular problem. When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
          DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ User Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of crash reports. The name of each report starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report related to the process in question. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Hmmmm... would appear that you need to be actually logged in to enable the additional menu features.
Have you tried deletting the plists for MAS?
This page might help you out...

Failing that, I will have to throw this back to the forum to see if anyone else can advise further.
