Preview will not display jpegs in Snow Leopard on MacPro

I have read every posting on this site, deleted Entourage, deleted the Preview files suggested, and still I can't get jpeg images to display on my MacPro (I can get PDFs and thumbnails just fine). I have the same operating system on my iMac, and Preview, works fine (even with Entourage on the computer) and always has. This problem arose when I moved everything from my iMac to a MacPro I bought from a friend, and found to my shock Preview does not work. I reloaded Snow Leopard and that did nothing. Then, as I indicated, I did all the suggestions posted here, but had no success. Is there something wrong with the MacPro? I don't want to upgrade to Lion on this computer because I need it for editing on FCP 7. I do documentaries and really need Preview to work. The previous owner did not need Preview for images when he used the computer so I don't know if it ever worked. Any ideas? Last resort, I will upgrade the MacPro to LIon and see if Preview works. If it does, I will just use the MacPro for Avid projects and continue to use my iMac for Final Cut projects. I just want to see if there is anything I can try before I do this.

deleted Entourage
Don't know who would have suggested that, but it was completely unnecessary. Entourage and Preview have absolutely no affect on each other.
deleted the Preview files suggested
What suggested files? File names, please.
Is there something wrong with the MacPro?
With the hardware itself? No, it's obviously a software issue.
This problem arose when I moved everything from my iMac to a MacPro
What do you mean by "everything"? Every single item, including the OS from the iMac, or just your user account and apps by using Migration Assistant?
I reloaded Snow Leopard and that did nothing.
Snow Leopard disks that came with the Mac Pro, or a retail copy?

Annotated PDF from Preview will not display annotations in iPad mail

I have an Annotated PDF from Preview will not display annotations in iPad mail, yet, it will display them on my Macbook Air. I confirmed this with another iPad user. Same results. Any ideas.

I had the same issue. iAnnotate PDF will display your annotations made in preview and allow you to annotate on the iPad. It is a great app, I and quite happy with it.

Macbook Pro Will Not Boot to Retail Snow Leopard

I am a PC tech working on a Macboo Pro mid-2010 15" aka MacbookPro6,2 for an acquaintance (really) and I really appreciate any help/tips on this. As given to me, the MBP was totally non-responsive. Also, the owner does not have the original DVDs that came with the machine nor did she have the power adapter (long story).
Here is the summary: The MBP will not boot to a retail Snow Leopard 10.6.3 DVD; it only gets to the light grey screen with the darker grey Apple symbol and no spinning gear.
Here are the details:
1. After procuring a new AC adapter and installing a new battery, it would boot up and run but displayed an error with Steam startup. It connected to the internet via wifi, launched and ran a video dvd, etc, etc. Looked good except for the Steam error screen.
2. I went to the Steam website and downloaded the current version. After the software installed I did a normal shutdown and restart and the MBP would not boot, just went to grey Apple screen and spinning gear.
3. Booted up in single user, ran fsck -fy which reported "Invalid node structure (4, 24755)" which I understand is not good and it also reported that "The volume Untitled could not be repaired". Just on a whim I ran the fsck a couple more times not expecting anything different and that's what I got - nothing different.
4. Power up with Command R. Goes to grey screen and then tries to boot off of the bad hard drive with previous results.
5. Talked to Apple Care. To make it short, they sold me a retail Snow Leopard.
6. Installed a new blank hard drive (500GB, SATA II, WD Blue) and loaded the Snow Leopard into the Superdrive.
7. Power up and press C. Just goes to grey screen and grey Apple.
8. Power up with Option. DVD is there, click on it to launch, goes to grey Apple and that's all it does.
9. Just for grins, I popped in a Windows 7 Recovery DVD and did the power up/option to launch that and the MBP actually loads the Windows files and screen but it will not proceed because Win7 recovery doesn't recognize the MBP. At least the DVD worked.
10. Installed a different new blank hard drive and tried to launch Snow Leopard install but no dice.
11. Just for grins number two, I tried a remote install on my local network. On initial DVD access, the MBP displays a spinning globe along with the grey Apple, accesses the DVD on the remote laptop three times, but then the spinning globe disappears and everything stops. I left it for an hour and nothing else happens.
That is where I am stuck. I really appreciate any ideas on how to proceed. I can hear Genius Bar already, but was just wondering if I missed any possible steps to take myself.

You should have better luck with the correct build, as you can't use the installs as backward compatible. I also have an older machine that is for the kids, and was upgraded with the 10.6.3 retail disk which will not work with the Mid 2010.
Best of luck, and hope it helps.
If no luck, you may want to investigate hardware issues, as it should boot and install.

MacBook will not sleep automatically since Snow Leopard install

Hello. I am having a serious issue with my MacBook since upgrading to Mac OS X Snow Leopard. My MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, 2.4 GHz) will not go to sleep automatically anymore. If I select "Sleep" from the Apple menu it will sleep fine. However, it will not sleep according to my Energy Saver preference pane which says sleep at 1 min each (Display and Computer). Another thing to keep in mind is that my display sleeps perfectly normally. However, the computer itself will not sleep.
Here are the things that I have tried so far:
- Reinstall 10.6.2 combo updater
- Remove Energy Saver preferences and entire System Configuration folder
- Made sure that no hardware or software is interrupting sleep
- Reset PRAM and SMC
I am running Mac OS X 10.6.2 with ALL updates and firmware installed.
Please help me figure this out as it is a serious issue. Thanks.

FCP Studio will not boot up after Snow leopard upgrade.

Everything was working fine on Leopard but decided to upgrade to Snow Leopard. Now the program stats up and we get to the splash screen then it quits. Anybody help me? so far Snow Leopard has been a complete waste of time, After effects on Mac will not work now either.

They all work except FCP 6 and After effects cs3. FCP is my main worry. I have a deadline to finish.

Safari will not display JPEGs

Ever since I installed the 10.4.6 update when I open safari it will not show any JPEGs... This problem happened immideatley after I did the install. Any web page having jpeg files just show an empty space where ever ther should be a photo. If anyone has any ideas how to fix this problem I would appreciate the help. Now I am forced to use Explorer which still displays jepegs with no problem. Thanks to all

Hi Yang,
Thanks for the responce... I did the reinstall of 10.4.6. When I restarted my PowerBook after the instalation the white finder bar that runs arcoss the top of my display blinks on and off and my desktop will not load up... My dock appears so I was able to open Safari, which now displays JPEGs but how do I get my desktop back?
A very worried, Dave
Hi Dave,
Try downloading and reapplying the 10.4.6 Combo
Update. Related discussion threads: #1 and #2.

DVD Player will not play image files (Snow Leopard 10.6.2)

I am having a problem with my DVD Player. It will no longer play dvd iso files. Instead I get this error: "There was a problem opening the media: The media type is not supported"
What is really strange about this is that the audio from the DVD would play just fine, but there would not be an accompanying video window.
I find it hard to believe that when upgrading from leopard to snow leopard that the iso file format would become unsupported.
I have also tried to create my own DVD .img file and it too would not play in DVD Player giving me the same error message. Is there anything I can do to get my image files to play on this computer?
Message was edited by: Imperial Hawk

Change the file extension from img. to iso
Many obscure file formats are not accepted by DVD Players and require you to either change the format or get a converter. here read these they will help you a ton.

IMac will not allow update from Snow Leopard 10.6.3 to 10.6.8

I am having trouble updating to 10.6.8 from Snow Leopard 10.6.3.
After down loading the update it goes to load it and then crashes saying it struck a problem.

The startup disk may need repairing.
Launch Disk Utility located in /Applications/Utilities to verify and if necessary, repair the startup disk.
Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks
Make sure there's enough free space on the startup disk.
Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 15% free disk space.

A new Mac shipping with OS X Lion will not accept OS X Snow Leopard

Hi Fans,
I''m back again to report on my 2.5hr campaign to get Snow Leopard back.
I have of course no DVD drive on the Macbook Air.
So, I created a restore disk from my Mini, to an external drive.
Loooks good...
Boot Air, kernel panic. The Snow Leopard DVD is too old.
Error is:
You can't use this version of the application Install Mac OS X.app with this version of Mac OS X.
You have Install Mac OS X.app 23.1.
So, I will call apple apparently tomorrow and ask if there is a possibility for a later version DVD or a USB I can get.
I might add that if you have problems, apple prefer that you email them here:
http://www.apple.com/feedback
Other than that, a little rant here could help...
The experience I've had is pratically software entrapment, Apple just about closed the doors on software choice.

Thanks, yes I see the point, I will eventually get some 'feedback' and hope that I can survive the shortcomings...
I wonder if anyone knows if it is possible at all? To run Snow Leopard on the New Macbook Airs, i7 etc.
If it is... I will call and wait to talk to an Apple Expert...
What's interesting is Progress has become a relative concept, whereas before, Progress really mean't progress.
I think we got all excited over a rather fluffy domestic cat...
OS X Mr Snuggles?
Actually, the next version was probably the Sabre Tooth, but as we know, that cat is extinct.
I am trying to keep up good spirits by lightening up this 50/50 release.

MacBook will not warm restart after Snow Leopard upgrade

I just upgraded to Snow Leopard. Did all updates 10.6.2 now. I must say I like Snow Leopard on the surface; however, this is the first time I have been hesitant about Apple. Upgrade was not without problems with Wifi but those were resolved.
Since doing install, I can not restart the machine from the Apple menu. It does an apparent shutdown to black screen, light on front of MacBook stays constant, but system never comes back. I have to do a hard shutdown holding power button.
What I have tried:
Search the Internet for suggestions. Many similar but identical problems.
Looked at what is running. No apps just standard stuff.
Tried PRAM reset. No change.
No USB peripherals attached.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Mark

Problem solved. Reinstalled? Upgraded Flash. Since I don't know what version of Flash I was running under Tiger I don't know if I reinstalled or upgraded. But it fixed all my problems with restarts, shutdowns, FireFox, Safari, general Internet instability.
Curious: Are there any other "add-ons" floating around on my system waiting to cause me grief?

App Store will not install anything on Snow Leopard

I just fixed (replaced HD) a Mac Book Pro 2010 with 8GB of ram. I install Snow Leopard in it and updated everything. Now I can't install anything using App Store. First, I wanted to upgraded to Yosemite, but clicking on the Download anything was not doing anything.
Then I tried to install anything else. Nothing works. Basically, App Store is useless here.
I opened Console and I see this error every time I click any install or download button:
12/15/14 10:03:09 AM
App Store[260]
ERROR: ITSExceptionHandler: {message:"TypeError: 'undefined' is not a function", url:"unknown (might be html-embedded script?)", lineNumber:"unknown"}
I suspect the App Store is using some embedded JS code that is not compatible with the old version of Safari used in Snow Leopard.
Can anyone provide any help with this?

I completely agree that torrents are a perfect place to inject nefarious bits of code and I meant only to highlight the extremes that I needed to go to in order to workaround this bug. As for the illegal part, I already own the software and was unable to access it from the app store as a result of Apple's failure to put safeguards in place concerning compatibility issues (even if SL is a dead OS). Were apple to provide any of the following things I would not have needed to resort to torrent files:
1. Provide hard copies of OSX (not just dead ones)
2. Provide DL links when purchasing OSX (not just app store codes)
3. Provide support (just to chat with a representative costs $30)
In the end I am confident that there are no "extra" bits of code but required a lot of extra work. I used the copy of mavericks only to download the installer for Yosemite from the now working App Store which I then produced a bootable USB drive from. Then I did a clean install of OSX Yosemite (erased and installed on HD). After that I booted to recovery mode and once again erased my HD and installed Yosemite from the now present recovery partition.

IWork '05 will not work since installing Snow Leopard

I have iWork '05 and use Pages and Keynote. Since I installed the Snow Leopard update, when I open Pages all I get is the side toolbar and nothing else. I went to preferences and choose "open blank template" and then it says that it is "unable to open", and I tried using a template that I have created previously and that would not open either. When I choose "Open on Template Chooser" then nothing happens.
I can't get any files to open or new documents.
I am unable to install updates for iWork because I am running '05 and not '09.
Please help.

iwork05 is not compatible with snow leopard. you need to get a newer version. iwork08 is available on amazon for 20$ used and 30$ new.

ITunes will not Launch 10.6 Snow Leopard

I just upgraded to 10.6 last night and now my iTunes will not launch. I removed all my extra plugins and am trying to start fresh. Here's the error message that pops up in the Console:
8/29/09 10:26:15 AM [0x0-0xbddbdd].com.apple.iTunes[9902] [Deprecated] CocoaJava: com.apple.cocoa.foundation.NSRuntime
8/29/09 10:26:15 AM [0x0-0xbddbdd].com.apple.iTunes[9902] -[NSJavaVirtualMachine initWithClassPath:] FATAL: cannot initialize ObjCJava. Exit
8/29/09 10:26:15 AM com.apple.launchd.peruser.501[237] ([0x0-0xbddbdd].com.apple.iTunes[9902]) Exited with exit code: 255
Any ideas?

OK, this solution worked for me:
Quit all programs, force-quit iTunes if it is locked up.
Disconnect any iPhone or iPods
Go to: Macintosh HD/users/"your user name"/library/preferences, and drag to trash the preference panels: with itunes in the name: including>com.apple.iTunes.plist, com.apple.iTunes.eq.plist
Download iTunes 8.2.1 from theApple website,
Run the iTunes 8.2.1 installer
It will have you set up iTunes as if for the first time.
Launch iTunes after it is set up, it will take a bit as it creates new prefence files.
Quit iTunes>restart the mac>Launch iTunes and after it loads plug in your iPod or iPhone.

Preview does not display pdf properly

I have OS X 10.5.8 and Preview 4.2. Preview will not display a bank statement properly. Most of the content is missing. I initially thought this was the bank's fault, but the pdf statement displays OK on my work Mac using Adobe Acrobat Professional. On Preview, howerver, at work (OS X 10.4) it also does not display properly.
Can anyone suggest a fix, or does Apple read these discussions...? Thanks. Graham

"Preview is meant for previewing PDFs generated by OSX applications for printing.
OSX uses its own code to generate and display PDFs, not Adobe's code.
Adobe has been adding features to its PDF code that is used by some non-Apple software.
PDFs generated by such software may not display correctly with Preview, but will work with the latest Adobe Reader."

So, download and install the latest free Adobe Reader on your home Mac for these statements.

Illustrator CC 18.1.1 print preview is not displaying preview properly. Any work around?!

I only started having this problem recently. It might be a Yosemite bug or graphics driver bug. When I go to print in the latest version of Illustrator CC 18.1.1 I get a shrunken window of what print preview should be (see below).
Circumstances are that I have my MBP 15" Retina connected to a Apple Thunderbolt Display. When I'm working in Illustrator on the Thunderbolt display and have the laptop screen open beside it, print preview will not display correctly. If I drag the print dialog box over to the laptop screen, it then shows print preview correctly. Also, I found that if I close the laptop screen and just work off the Thunderbolt display print preview works correctly again. ITS DRIVING ME CRAZY! Please Help!
I'm currently running:
OS X 10.10.2
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013)
2.8 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
Screenshot from Thunderbolt Display. Print Preview is shrunk to upper-left hand corner:
Screenshot from laptop screen when I brought the print dialog window over to it. The print preview corrected itself:

Thanks pipinngpete. You helped me understand what was going on. Here is my post:
