Preview won't open.  It will open when in test mode but not in my user mode.\

I'm running Yosemite 10.10.2.  My Preview won't open.  I followed Linc's advice and removed many files but Preview still won't open.  I have tried cold booting to no avail. 

I just figured out how to open Preview...... Open Finder>Documents>click on any PDF or JPEG.  Preview opens.  Now, if I could only get it to open from the Dock.

  • When i double-click the mozilla icon, it doesn't start. In the task manager i noted that the process "firefox.exe" appears and desappear after 5 seconds. The problem remains in mozilla safe-mode, but not in windows safe-mode. Thks!

    Yesterday i installed the firefox 6.0 on my windows 7 computer. When i double-click the mozilla icon, it doesn't start. I opened the task manager and noted that the process "firefox.exe" appears and desappear after 5 seconds. I tried to start mozilla in safe mode but the problem remains. The only way to use mozilla in my computer is restarting the windows in safe-mode. Last thing: i already tried to reinstall the program. Please help me!

    I'm also using Windows 7 on a Lenovo U310 laptop.

  • How do I restore my iphoto from external time machine if it isn't appearing when I go back to other dates? I can open the old library when I hold option, but it can't get it to stay.

    Please help.

    For TM questions there is a TM forum
    In general you launch Time machine and go back in time to the time you want - select the iPhoto library (by default in your pictures folder) and click restore

  • Why can firefox beta, aurora, and nightly open in windows 8.1 desktop mode but not app mode?

    The applications will launch in desktop mode but not in a windows 8.1 app I am hoping for help with this I have tried everything to fix crashing or slowness and have reinstalled the program in aurora nightly or even firefox beta forms. Help!

    Hi!
    You may want to take a look at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-install-firefox-windows-8-touch
    I would assume the options to switch into it would be the same. I can't confirm though since I don't run Windows 8.

  • How to create a custom control of a button where the look will be applied to all others but not the Boolean text?

    Hi all
    I would like to create a customized button as a master so that if I change the look of the master all other buttons will change too.
    I have done this with a custom control as a "strict type def" otherwise the look will not change BUT If I do this as a strict type def I cannot change the Boolean text anymore which should be different on every button.
    How can I create a master control of a button where the look will be applied to all others but not the Boolean text?
    Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish
    Solved!

    Steve Chandler wrote:
    I don't think you can do that. I just looked and as I suspected the Boolean text property is read only for strict typedefs so you cannot use property nodes to change the text.
    As a workaround just make it a typedef. When you want to change the look open the typedef and make it strict, make your changes, then make it non strict again. You will have to update the Boolean text again for all instances. Kind of a pain. Maybe this is something for the idea exchange.
    Kudos for being sneaky.
    I like these creative work-arounds!

  • I am adding a voice over - it plays when I am in "clip trimmer" mode but NOT in the actual movie ... frustrating - any help?

    I am adding a voice over - it plays when I am in "clip trimmer" mode but NOT in the actual movie ... frustrating - any help?am in

    In Finder you will find the voiceover in the project's package contents folder. If on your internal drive, the project will be in your User (Home) folder Movies/iMovie projects. If on an external drive it will be in the iMovie Projects folder at the top (root) level of the drive.
    Right-click (or Control-click) on the project name and select Show Package Contents from the pop-up menu. There should be a file named something like Voiceover Recording.caf in the package contents folder. Copy and paste this .caf file to the Desktop. See if it will open in QuickTime, GarageBand or another program capable of editing audio, such as MPEG Streamclip or Audacity (both free). If it will open, save (export) it in a different format, such as AIFF, preferably to a location where it will not be moved, such as iTunes.
    Now drag that file into iMovie to the desired position (if in iTunes drag from iMovie's music browser panel). Hopefully it will now play correctly.

  • Why will DVD play on one player but not another??

    Hi,
    I made an ISO file using devede and then burnt it to a DVD using K3B.  The finished DVD will work on a Magnavox player but not a JVC.  Is there anything I can do about this???  Do some players have a "must be produced commercially" filter or something???

    First, I am assuming you recorded your iso on +R type media.  Next, I'm guessing that the player that won't play your DVD is the older of the two players.  Some DVD players, especially older ones don't like +R media.  If this is the case, here is a possible fix.
    Here is a thread on another forum which discuses changing the booktype on your DVD burner.  Here is a quote from the original post:
    There have been many questions asked about how to booktype +R media to DVD-ROM
    Many standalone Players, HDD recorders/players and games consoles don't like +R media but they are happy enough to play -R or DVD-ROM.
    Some drive brands have tools to change this option but others don't. I have found that the easiest way to change your BOOKTYPE setting is to use a small burning tool called IMGBurn which can be found doing a Google search.
    Below you can see some screen shots which guide you through changing your BOOKTYPE setting. For this I have used my NEC4551 but IMGBurn supports NU-Tech, Plextor, Ricoh, Samsung, BenQ, LG, Lite-on and NEC.
    Once you have changed your BOOKTYPE setting, when you burn a +R/+RW disc it will be burned as a DVD-ROM which is the same as a bought movie and most players are happy to play these.
    Since my DVD players are happy with +R media, I haven't tried this.  Both of my players are fairly new, and I made sure that +R was listed on the box as one of the formats accepted by that player.
    As usual, try this at your own risk.

  • In the slide show view how can you pin the "next" Arrow to the ultimate edge so it is in the same place as the full screen image, it will pin to the left edge but not the right.

    In the slide show view how can you pin the "next" Arrow to the ultimate edge so it is in the same place as the full screen image, it will pin to the left edge but not the right.

    Hello,
    Please make sure that the next button is pinned to the right side as there in the attached image.
    If it is already pinned, you can try removing any embedded HTML code and checking it.

  • PSE 10 will print from the organizer and in sharing mode, but not from full edit

    I'm using pse10 on a computer with an i7 processor with 12GB of ram and windows 7 with a color laser printer.  The print function works fine while in organizer and sharing mode, but not from full edit.   When I try to print from full edit, I get an  error message with a red "X" on it that says:  "Before you can perform printer related tasks such as page setup or printing a document, you need to install a printer."  I can't figure it out.  The printer is in "ready" state, and works fine in the organizer mode, and in share.  Any thoughts on what I'm missing? Thanks for any help in advance.

    This occurs frequently with HP printers, though  others are implicted as well from time to time
    In Control panel>Devices and printers, right click your active printer, go to Printer Properties, and rename the printer to something short, e.g. my printer
