Preview Update

The latest issue of Mac Life has a how-to on using Preview for working with PDF files. I cites Preview 4.2? My version is 3.0.9 (409). Software update says there are no updates available. I've tried searching downloads for Preview and my Safari freezes. Maybe I'm maxed out with my Tiger 10.4.11? Appreciate a link to an update download if one's available.

I sort of changed mine to Red in 10.4.11 for the same reason.
Quit Preview, paste this into Terminal window & press enter...
defaults write com.apple.Preview AppleHighlightColor "1.0 0.0 0.0"
The values are R G B in 0 to 1 scale.
Start Preview, now do a search, press Tab, the search will show in Red Highlight, but not in the PDF it's self.
Adobe Reader will highlight within the PDF in a better color.
On searching through PDFs, might see...

I'm not on 10.5/10.6 now to see, but iirc it hasn't changed.

  • Bridge CS6 - extremely slow preview updates and image deleting

    1. Updating previews (100%) is very slow.
    Bridge CS6 has problems updating the previews of images that get edited.
    While creating preview from scratch is rather swift, updating previews takes about six minutes on a MacBook Pro retina with 16Gb RAM.
    After one minute the preview gets updated,  but then the busy signal in the low left corner just keeps turning and turning for five more minutes.
    Why is this happening? Is Bridge still busy with those previews? Why? The preview has already been updated, why those extra five minutes of business?
    2. Image deleting is painfully slow.
    You type Command + Delete, and nothing is happening for five, six seconds.
    Only then the images get deleted.
    Has anybody else noticed these two hold-ups?
    Edit:
    I just went back after writing and editing this post, and Bridge is still busy with the preview update. This is now 15 minutes after the image had been edited. The busy signal in the lower left corner just never turns off again.
    It feels like Bridge has also problems working in the background. As soon as you open e.g. a browser to bridge the waiting for bridge, Bridge seems to keep the busy signal rotating, but not actually doing anything until you close the browser again. Which is why I just had a 15 minute wait for an image preview to finally update. The time spent in the browser did not "count".

    Hi Noel,
    Yes, I did the upgrade, and I did not experience any problems.
    Only, the issues above were not fixed in the update.
    Are you not experiencing the same issues? (I'm on a Mac).
    C. Pfaffenbichler, I was actually looking for a dedicated Bridge forum, but I couldn't see a Bridge icon.

  • Approval Center Preview Updates not displaying a populated Views list

    Goal is to be able to add Baseline fields to Preview Updates.
    In trying to edit the view in Approval Center other entries ("change the view of Approval center" and "Adding the baseline (tracking) columns to the Approval Center view") indicate the solution is to use the View in Preview Updates
    and imply that the Tasks Tracking view is the view to update for Preview Updates.
    However, the view that I am seeing in Preview Updates does not
    match any view within Manage Views, including Tasks Tracking.
    The Preview Updates displays the following columns:
    ID
    Mode
    Task Name
    Previous Duration
    Duration
    Previous Start
    Start
    Previous Finish
    Finish
    Baseline Work
    Work
    Previous % Complete
    % Complete
    Resource Name
    The Tasks Trackingview already includes Baseline Start/Baseline Finish (and other differences) ... so not the view being used.
    Within Project Center after selecting a project and then selecting Schedule the view list has all expected views defined in Manage Views > Project. 
    But within Preview Updates the View drop down does not invoke a list of views.  So now I am wondering if this is the root problem for this issue I am having.
    Cheryl

    Hi Cheryl,
    I just tested your concern in my Project Online instance. As far as I know, there are no significative changes in the preview updates feature between 2010 and 2013 versions.
    As I said in your previous post, you are several views available in the "preview updates" page (unfortunately in french).
    Those views are the project views that are not related to resources and assignments, meaning all the "... tasks" project views should be available in the preview updates page. Then just edit one of those view adding your fields and save it.
    I tried to edit the task summary project view, adding a few field like bsaeline start and finish and it worked perfectly. Note that each field impacted by the update will be duplicated, for example the start date will be duplicated to a "previous start date"
    field.
    Hope this helps,

  • HT2506 I use Preview to edit photos, and would like to know if there are any Preview updates in the works. I find there is a problem with Preview crashing, or taking a very long time to "catch up" (spinning beachball of death) while I'm editing.

    I use Preview to edit photos, and would like to know if there are any updates to this program in the works. It seems Apple is constantly updating its software, except for Preview. I find it crashes all too often, and also takes forever to "catch up" with me (as in spinning beachball of death) when I'm editing a lrge amount of photos. Yes, I know I should be using Photoshop or somesuch, but it's just too **** confusing, and I don't have the time to figure it out. Thanks!!

    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
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter the name of the crashed application or process in the Filter text field. Select the messages from the time of the last crash, if any. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    In the Console window, look under User Diagnostic Reports for crash reports related to the crashed process. The report name starts with the name of the process, and ends with ".crash". Select the most recent report and post the entire contents — again, the text, not a screenshot. 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 shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

  • Camera on Lumia 822 Developer Preview Update 8.1 GDR1 not working, needs Cyan.

    About 5 months ago when the 8.1 Developer Preview was released I went ahead and got it on my Lumia 822. Everything was going great. It worked flawlessly until Updated 8.1 to the 3rd small update that was released for it. Soon after my camera stopped working and soon after that my GPS started displaying very inaccurate results. When I use any app that uses the camera it instantly crashes and I know it is a firmware issue because neither camera works. Both cameras cause the app to crash if it tries to use the camera. I updated to 8.1 GDR1 thinking it would fix it and it didn't. This happened to me 4 months ago. The community says Cyan will fix it. I have had to deal with this for 4 months. 2 months waiting for Microsoft to give it to phone companies and now 2 months waiting for Verizon to push it out. Could someone at Verizon please give an ETA? I wasn't able to take pictures all summer. Not of my summer vacation or anything. I'm begging you Verizon to push the update. At least just for Lumia 822. I'm not the only one with this issue. If you go to the WPCentral forums or just Google it, many more people are having the same issue. I know I was risking it by using a "beta OS" but come on. Updates shouldn't take this long to get pushed.

    No one told you to download or install the Microsoft Developer Preview.
    That is not a Verizon wireless issue. It is a Microsoft issue.
    maybe you can remove it and roll back until the real updated OS is shown to be stable and available.
    And this is for both posters.
    I can just imagine all the posts complaining how the updates caused this not to function or that no longer works when Verizon has nothing to do with those issues either.
    After it is released by the cell carriers.

    大家好:
    我的手机是lumia 820.升级推送的预览版的也是出现错误代码“80188308”。尝试了很多次,都是失败了
    我曾经在“关于”--->"重置"。。。还原过去,但是发现还是不行,后来才发现是还原到了wp8.1.这个是之前升级后的,所以是没有办法回到wp8.0
    1 昨天晚上下载了Nokia Software Recovery Tool ,然后安装在计算机上,之后连接手机,识别后,开始下载安装文件
    差不多有1.58G,如果我没有记错。这个操作不会保留你的手机上的任何数据,所以你需要做好备份,sd卡上的貌似音乐和图片什么的 都在,地图和应用没有了
    2 系统恢复到8.0后,开始一步一步升级,终于早今天早晨的时候成功了,当然我是一边睡觉,一边升级了,厉害吧?
    于是现在成功了 同志们,你们也阔仪尝试一下。不过应用什么的 重新安装吧。

  • Sneak Preview Update: Full Java Edition is now available on NW04 SP15

    Hi SDNers,
    Here's something that might make your new year more interesting... We just released the SP15 version of the <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/downloaditem?rid=/library/uuid/cfc19866-0401-0010-35b2-dc8158247fb6">sneak Preview SAP NetWeaver: Full Java Edition</a> on SDN.
    This version - like its SP11 predecessor - includes the following components:
    - SAP NetWeaver Application Server (Java)
    - SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio
    - SAP Enterprise Portal
    - SAP Knowledge Management
    - SAP Composite Application Framework including Guided Procedures
    - Interactive Forms based on Adobe Software
    Note: We've updated the system requirements and installation instructions, so please take the time to read through the information carefully.
    You'll need to download 4 rather large files with this release (total approx. 5GB), so your patience is required!

  • Preview Update Bug? (+ iBooks 2 textbook font options)

    Two related questions:
    1) Is anyone else getting a situation where after you preview your book several times (10 or more in a session), if you change the master chapter or section layout, at some point the previewed text gets really small? I am trying 14-18 pt font sizes in the body text and when previewed on the iPad (2 or 3) it looks closer to 10pt. I have tried clearing the previewed book off my iPads, disconnecting and re-connecting, changing the fonts again, saving and then previewing but I can't get the body text to look anything close to the size I've created.
    2) ...which leads me to: I don't see any options in iBooks 2 for users of iBA books to change the font size. Is this what everyone else sees or do you have font sizing options like in regular (ePub) iBooks?
    My understanding is we're creating "fixed font" layouts with this app so whatever we preview it at and then publish it, that's what the reader will see (and without option of changing the font size). Is this correct?
    Thanks in advance for any insights.

    Sorry, I haven't experienced your other problem myself. I would try
    deleting your book from iBooks
    killing ibooks and restarting it, before and after deletion of your book
    exporting to .iBook and loading the book via iTunes instead of preview
    There are definitely some caching issues with preview that I've noticed previously. While I was working on my book, I'd quite often go through new material on my iPad and using the Notes feature to mark it up with corrections, then later transferring the corrections back to the source document.
    When previewing the new version, the notes would disappear but then later reappear, often attached to a slightly different part of the text. Sometimes, I'd suddenly see a note that I had attached two or three revisions ago. It seems that deleting a book or updating it via preview doesn't completely clean out everything that was there before, so I would work on that angle with your problem.
    Michi.

    Yikes, that's pretty strange.  Can you try this?
    Open a command prompt
    cd to the download folder
    Run this: msiexec /i "Adobe Edge Code Preview.msi" /L*V "install.log"
    That should create an install.log file in the same folder.  Please reply back here with the contents of that file.

  • Spring TopLink Integration Preview Updated

    The preview of the Spring TopLink Integration support has been updated on OTN. Changes are described in the release notes.
    Also check out the OTN article Of Persistence and POJOs: Bridging the Object and Relational Worlds on using TopLink with Spring by Rod Johnson and Jim Clarke.

    You will not have to change any java code when you switch "transaction controller" strategies in your Spring beans.xml file.
    When you talk about "the way you use the UnitOfWork in your code", you're talking about the section in the "Transactions" chapter called "External Transaction Controllers" right? In any case, the differences at the java level, are essentially that you acquire an "active" UnitOfWork (getActiveUnitOfWork) and that you no longer explicitly commit the UnitOfWork.
    Neither of these two differences impacts your use of TopLink within Spring. In Spring, the transaction is always managed by a Spring PlatformTransactionManager so your TopLink code will never call commit, whether you're using an ExternalTransactionController or not. The code will be identical whether you're running in J2SE or J2EE.
    Also, since we expect users to access TopLink either through a TopLinkTemplate or through a TopLinkInterceptor, the Spring container will always "inject" a TopLink Session that is aware of whether or not there is currently an ExternalTransactionController. So, there will be no difference between the behavior of acquireUnitOfWork and getActiveUnitOfWork. Both will behave identically. They will return you the UOW currently associated with the current Spring PlatformTransactionManager. So, there is no environmental dependency here either.

  • JDeveloper Developer Preview Updates - An Open Letter

    I recently was scanning through this forum and saw a thread on updates to the preview edition. In this thread, an Oracle spokesperson said that the developer preview goes through almost as rigorous a process as a production release, therfore; previews are updated infrequently. Most of the comments on thread indicate that people want more, not fewer, updates. Indeed, if I cared about the stability of the product, I would be running 9.x of JDeveloper. NO. Want I want to do is receive FREQUENT updates to the preview and be able to provide immediate feedback. It also seems that Oracle should LISTEN to their customers. While the product manager may have legitimate reasons for thinking fewer updates is better, the customers seem to be saying that the PM is wrong. We all want the same thing, JDeveloper to be the best Jave IDE available, period. I can hear in my head the polite response from Oracle justifying infrequent updates. But the justification isn;t necessary. It was clear to me that people are getting frustrated with the current version and have begun moving on. In that case it wion't matter how good the next Jdeveloper is because nobody will see it. They will al be using Eclipse or Idea.
    Sincerely, Keith Williams

    I respectfully remind you that the feature footprint of the entire JDeveloper 10.1.3 product is really quite massive, compared to the open source projects you're likely thinking about. We're talking about much more than a core IDE that lets you code and debug. The full JDeveloper product is on the order of magnitude of a Visual Studio Enterprise Architect Edition -- with, I'd argue, even more functionality than that has -- in a product that is now free. We surely have tons of automated regressions tests, automated UI interaction testing, and performance testing in all the various layers of the product, but the number of different use cases to test when you begin mixing and matching the various:
    -- view-layer technologies we support (JSP, JSF, Swing, Mobile clients)
    -- controller-layer technologies we support (Struts, JSF Navigation Cases)
    -- business tier-layer technologies we support (JavaBeans, EJB 2.0, EJB 2.1, EJB 3.0, TopLink, WebServices, XML, ADF Business Components, etc)
    -- J2EE application servers that we support
    -- database servers that we support
    -- open source technologies we provide integrated support for (JUnit, Ant, XDoclet, CVS)
    -- platforms we test running on (Windows, Linux, Mac)
    Makes for a meaty set of use cases that all need to be verified before we're satisfied with the quality.
    When you release something that delivers less end-to-end functionality or doesn't support the same matrix of different technology and server configurations, there's obviously less to test.
    There is currently no other development environment on the market (open source or otherwise, J2EE or .NET) that delivers the same features-to-price ratio that we do, and with the 10.1.3 release, we're raising that bar an order of magnitude higher.
    We hope you'll be impressed with the results, despite its extended "gestation" period. We're as excited to get an early access release into your hands as hopefully you will be to give it a spin and give us feedback on.

  • Preview Update after Photoshop Editing

    I would think this would be a common question but I can't find the answer.
    After I edit a photo from iPhoto 09 in photoshop, the preview of the photo in iPhoto does not update. I can double click on the photo and see the edits but when I zoom back out it goes back to the original state.
    Any ideas on how to correct?
    Thanks!

    Be sure you're using Photoshop correctly from wihtin iPHoto:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    Click to view full size
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.  3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    Click to view full size
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    Click to view full size
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Click to view full size
    NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window".  That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu).  This way you get the best of both worlds.

  • Windows 10 Preview update fails 0x8046017

    Update is been failing since a couple of days. here are a couple of screen captures:
    Sincerely, Manny A.

    Actually the one that failed to get installed was a new build that was NOT supposed to be for general public.
    What happened was that MS has been sending new builds to MSFT ( MS employees ) for testing. Somehow mistake was made and the builds were "exposed" to Windows Update. But those "exposed" builds will not get installed and therefore you
    see the error message and the error code.
    Here is the direct copy regarding this matter.......
    From Insider Hub:
    Windows Insiders who have installed
    KB3035129may see reports in the Settings app under Update & recovery that a new preview build is available.
    Attempts to download the new build result in Error 0x80246017.
    KB3035129 included a code change which unintentionally had the side effect of changing targeting for builds, allowing builds that are exclusive to Microsoft employees to appear available.
    No new builds are available which are newer than 9926 at this point. We will issue another update shortly to correct the issue
    and ensure that Windows Insiders are able to successfully get the next build which is made available to you. We apologize for the confusion and thank you for your continued participation and feedback.
    ..........................................................end of the copy...............................................
    There is nothing to be concerned of. The Windows Updates that are meant for us will get installed automatically, and those "exposed" new builds will get rejected and you will see that error code until MS sort it out.
