Preview window gone

When I open preview the window never appears.  The Preview menu is present.  the four-finger swipe down will show me all the files I have opened previously.  But when I select one, nothing happens.  Every now and again, I can get a document to open but generally I give up.  This has been going on for a while.
Anyone have any ideas?
I've tried menu file>open , option-click - file open with in finder, I've tried pdf documents etc.
The other thing that has been bugging me is the inability to close files.  When I do actually get a preview window to display, the side bar includes a variety of files I have opened previously.  Actually, I think it has kept every last file I have ever opened in preview....disconcerting actually.

I've been messing with this for hours now.  I've tried many renaming, deleting plist files related to preview in various folders
(for example:  ~Library/Containers ; ~Library/preferences; _Library/ApplicationSavedStates)
Also tried clear recent files, removed from dock etc.
Results have been the same, open a document (specific text file created today using automator) and every file I have ever previewed with "Preview" opens.
Number of windows depends on preview preferences selected (open group of files in one window or single window for each files.)  You can imagine the horror, when the latter preference selected and "all" previous previewed files open!
Something is definitely wrong.  I have long since trashed many of those files (and emptied trash as well.)  Well over 82 files!!!!
I quit preview and then selected it from the dock - no window just preview toolbar appeared.  File>open said text file.  Result = Same...82 files open...

  • Email Preview Window gone

    Not sure what I did but the preview window in the email program that lets you view the email inline without having to open each one individually has disappeared. The only thing I can find to maybe turn it back on is under Window / Message Viewer, but this menu has no effect at all on the program when I click it. In fact, I'm not even sure its a real menu...
    I've been throughout the application and there is nothing else I can find related to this function. Can anyone tell me how to turn this back on?
    Thanks,
    glenn

    Hi Jason... I've made this point to other mods, but I would like to restate it.
    The misplacement of posts here, in the iPhone discussions, has become epidemic. The reason is because Apple has placed the iPhone, and all its sub-categories at the head of Apple Discussions... Because of human naure, users ignore the 'iPhone' header, see the sub-category they are interested in, and post to it (in error)... If Apple would simply put iPhone into its proper alphabetic place in the discussions list, I believe the problem would be FAIAP solved.
    Thanks for listening.

    What computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 10 to run on?
    You are involved in the Premiere Elements 10/NVIDIA GeForce issue whose full details (description and fix) are included
    in the Announcement at the top of this forum. Copy for your convenience below.
    You gave a lot of details but did not include the computer operating system. This information may be the key whether
    the known fix will work for you. The known fix requires roll back of the driver version to about May 2013. If your computer
    is Windows 8 or 8.1 64 bit, there may not be a driver old enough to resolve the issue. This may force you consider
    a Premiere Elements version other than 10 or a different video card/graphics card for your computer. This issue is
    specific for Premiere Elements 10 and the NVIDIA GeForce cards.

    Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA Video Card Driver Roll Back
    If you are a Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer uses a NVIDIA GeForce video card and you are experiencing
    Premiere Elements 10 display and/or unexplained program behavior, then your first line of troubleshooting needs to be rolling
    back the video card driver version instead of assuring that it is up to date.
    Since October 2013 to the present, there have been a growing number of reports about display and unexplained workflow
    glitches specific to the Premiere Elements 10 user whose Windows computer has a NVIDIA GeForce video card. If this
    applies to you, then the “user to user” remedy is to roll back the NVIDIA GeForce video card driver as far as is necessary
    to get rid of the problems. The typical driver roll back has gone back as far as March – July 2013 in order to get a working
    Premiere Elements 10. Neither NVIDIA nor Adobe has taken any corrective action in this regard to date, and none is
    expected moving forward.
    Since October 2013, the following thread has tried to keep up with the Premiere Elements 10 NVIDIA reports

  • Colours in 'Print with Preview' window are wrong

    I am using Photoshop CS on a Mac G4 (PPC) with OS X 10.4.11.
    I usually use 'Print with Preview' to print photographs. I used to get good results, but something seems to have changed (or I have accidentally changed a setting somewhere). When I open an image in Photoshop, the colours on my monitor (which I regularly calibrate) look right. But when I go to 'Print with Preview', the image shown in the small layout window is now much darker, reds are more brown and in general the colours look quite wrong. And what is even worse is that when I print, the results match the wrong colours in the Preview window and not the correct colors that I see when I look at the image directly in Photoshop.
    I attach a screenshot, showing (on the left) a colour test image opened directly in Photoshop CS and (on the right) how it looks in the Preview window.
    Can anyone suggest what may have gone wrong? I should be very grateful for suggestions.

    The words that helped [me] the most to understand Photoshop color management theory are:
    Color Management starts with a good monitor profile (to PROOF the color accurately on the monitor), and Color Management ends with a good target profile to PROOF the color accurately on the print.
    The file (the document's Source Color Space) is independent of Photoshop:
    The Color Management System CMS, Photoshop, ONLY uses the monitor profile for one thing: To PROOF source file on the monitor (the monitor profile has zero to do with how the file prints).
    The Color Management System CMS, Photoshop, ONLY uses the printer (target) profile Print Space for one thing: To PROOF source file on the paper (the printer profile Print Space has zero to do with how the file looks on the monitor).
    +++++
    While this simple PROOFING ANALOGY doesn't address the pitfalls of relying on a bad monitor to evaluate and adjust digital color, it does make two important facts about Photoshop and professional color-managed printing workflows:
    1) The printer can PROOF (print) the source file faithfully regardless of how right or wrong the monitor is set up, and
    2) The monitor can PROOF (display) the source file faithfully regardless of how right or wrong the printer is set up.
    Getting a known good file (like the Adobe RGB—or better yet the ProPhoto RGB—PDI Photodisc-GettyImages RGB reference image) into Photoshop allows me to evaluate the monitor alongside the print to help me identify where the problem is occurring.
    +++++
    BTW, thank you for the helpful and solved hits.

  • Just wondering if I'm looking for something that doesn't exist - can firefox automatically close the "print-preview" window after printing?

    I'm using the addon in my firefox toolbar to print preview website data then append to a pdf file. Sometimes I am distracted, then can't remember if I've gone through the process and printed/appended the page to the file. It would be helpful if there was a way that the print preview window would close after printing thereby confirming that the process has completed. Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your reply.
    I'm running different versions of firefox on different computers. I'm aware of the upgrade procedures. Same issue in later versions as well.
    The add-on is called "Print Preview Button 0.5" by sindre-wimberger which I obtained through the "Search Mozilla Support"
    However, that's not really relevant - to bring this back to basics the same situation occurs if you do <File> <Print Preview> then print the document. The print preview screen remains until manually closed. Perhaps there is a setting in "about:config"? Does anyone know if this is so? There is an entry "print.whileinprintpreview" but not sure what setting does here. Suspect if set to "False" then you probably wouldn't be able to print from "Print Preview" screen.
    Thanks.

  • Log and Transfer - loss of preview window

    I have managed to make the preview pane in the Log and Transfer window disappear and I can't work out how to get it back.
    To expand the left hand side of the L and T window I dragged the right-hand side divider towards the preview pane. As the divider started to overlap the preview area the pane disappeared never to return even though I have tried dragging the divider back again from the right side of the L and T window.
    Does anyone know how to get it back?
    Thank you.
    John

    Thank you.
    I know what you mean and can see the Logging and Import Settings boxes you describe in FCP running on a different machine but on my Macbook the whole right hand side of the L&T window has gone, including all the logging data entry places below the preview area.
    If you wanted to mimic this try dragging to the right the divider between the list of clips on the L&T window's left side and the logging area on the right. You will see the preview window and logging area disappear before you've dragged very far. If you let go of the mouse button at this point they seem to disappear for good, or at least as far as I can tell. I don't recommend letting go though as I can't find any handle to grab so I can't find or drag the divider back to the left to reinstate them.

  • Crystal report preview window freezes if I push any key on the keyboard

    our system is a pretty old one, and we are still using crystal report 7 and vc6(mfc6).
    It is a simple dialog based application with a button and a flex grid7.1 component on it.
    when the button is clicked, a crystal report preview window will be opened and become the active window.
    the problem is that, when i pushed a key on the keyboard ('a' for example) the whole application will freeze, and CPU Occupancy Rate is 100%.
    but if I switch the dialog to be current active window after a preview window opened, keyboard input won't make the application freeze.
    It seems that crystal report preview window don't know how to deal with the keyboard input.

    Moved to Legacy Application Development SDKs forum.
    I have nothing for you, other than; consider upgrading - after all CR 7 shipped in 1998(!). I don't know what OS you are on, but I suspect what ever OS it is, it was not even in a concept stage of thought when CR 7 shipped. E.g.; this may be an OS issue more than anything else.
    BTW., print engine APIs were retired in version 9 of Crystal Reports. At this time, your best option is to upgrade to CR 2008 (12.0)and use .NET or Java. If you are using VB 6 or equivalent, you could still upgrade to CR XI r2 (11.5) and use the Report Designer Component (RDC). However, note that CR XI r2 will be out of support in June of this year. And CR XI R2 is the last version of CR to include the RDC.
