Preview won't open JPEG's anymore after Leopard upgrade

Has anyone else had this problem? Now Leopard's Preview program will only open very few of my picture files. Cover-view has the same issue. Example: Pictures taken from my phone downloaded to my hard drive. Double-click on them to open, and all I get is a line in Preview... no picture. The pictures will open in Quicktime, however, but isn't Preview made to view pictures?? Why use Quicktime for that?!?

I have a similar problem with JPEG's. Not all of mine show a thumbnail preview, but when I click on them the finder crashes. Also, they will not import into iPhoto 08. I thought somehow my files were corrupt but last night I reinstalled Tiger and the files work just fine. I have no idea why Leopard is not able to read them properly. When I installed Leopard it was a clean install. This time I am going to try an upgrade and see if it has the same issue. If it does I am going to get rid of Leopard until they get a fix for this. 90% of what I do on the mac is regarding photography and right now I am finding Leopard to be extremely useless.

  • Basic Apple applications won't open on Mac Pro after Mavericks upgrade

    Hi,
    I'm having issues opening a number of basic applications including Quicktime and Itunes
    Through the App store I have updated everything, the last one I was holding out on was updating Itunes. I did that last night and now today Itunes won't open.
    I click the image in the dock, the icon briefly bounces upward and then after bouncing down does not open or display any kind of error message.
    I am running a 2008 Mac Pro w/ 2x2.8ghz quad-core, 10gb of RAM, these issues began after updating to Mavericks.
    Many other apps including FCPX, Adobe Premiere CC, VLC, App Store, are all working fine.
    It seems to be an issue with just basic Apple software - please help!

    Thanks for the suggestions... tried changing resolution and that had no effect, and I've checked my Perian and DivX installations in System Preferences and both say they are completely up to date. I upgraded Quicktime today to 7.5 before all of this became a problem -- but I don't know how to upgrade iLife. In Software Update everything is completely up to date (eg each of the iLife apps).
    Oh well, iMovie is not very useful to me anyway -- just somehow annoying that it fails to work. No point flogging a dead horse!!
    Any other ideas gratefully received... many thanks in advance

  • My Mac won't stay connected to Internet after Leopard upgrade

    Suddenly after upgrading to Leopard, both Safari and Mail report that Mac OS X isn't staying connected to the Internet. I'm using AirPort and a cable modem and it's always been reliable before. But now there seems to be something jumpy/fishy going on in the AirPort menu in Leopard's menu bar. The list of available networks changes very often and although my own network remains checked, Network Diagnostics shows that I am indeed getting disconnected often and for long lengths of time. But everytime I restart my Mac, my Internet connection is restored.
    I had fully expected BETTER networking in Leopard, not WORSE.

    So sorry, I have not checked back to Discussions til tonight. You have undoubtedly solved your problem. But just in case not...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107451 is where I learned about Soft and Hard Resetting of the Airport base stations. There is also a Factory reset that's not really on this page.
    After I Hard set, I then went into Leopard's new interface for the AirPort Utility. Very straight forward to configure to set your station(s) up again. I've not had a problem since.
    Again, soooooo sorry I didn't drop in sooner with this information.

  • I can't seem to get rid of OR use Adobe Reader after I let it into Safari 7.  How do I get to the point where Reader is not my preferred anything, but can still be used if Preview won't open something?

    I can't seem to get rid of OR use Adobe Reader after I let it into Safari 7.  How do I get to the point where Reader is not my preferred anything, but can still be used if Preview won't open something?

    Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
    Step 3
    If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and check the box marked
              Allow Plug-ins
    Then click
              Manage Website Settings...
    and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
    Step 4
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
    Step 5
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 6
    Do as in Step 4 with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

  • PDF files created in Preview won't open in Adobe Reader

    I consider Preview to be a swiss army knife when it comes to working with PDF and graphic files. Lately (since the last OS update?) PDF files created in Preview won't open in Adobe Reader. Reader either crashes or just becomes unresponsive. I've been able to open the files in older versions of Adobe Professional but Reader 8 or 9 can't open the files. Anyone else experiencing these problems?

    Yes. We noticed this problem after upgrading to 10.6.7. When we made a PDF from Word 2011 or even Text Edit through Adobe's "Save as Adobe PDF" it would hang. When we made a PDF using Apple's "Save as PDF" it would lock up Acrobat Pro 9 and also Acrobat Pro X. NOTE that this only happened using Adobe OTF fonts.
    I posted this problem on Adobe's forum and received a message from admin there that this was caused by a change in font handling with Apple's 10.6.7 update.
    As of yet, no solution has been posted. I also received a message from Adobe's Tech Support that it was forwarded to their engineers.
    Still waiting.

  • 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.

  • Preview can't open jpegs

    After installing Leopard, Preview can't open jpegs. They only open in Elements for me. So how do we get Preview to do this again like we used to?

    Search the discussion board and you will find that if you changed the metadata information on your jpeg files (ie: used Lightroom), Leopard is unable to open those files regardless of the application you are using (Finder, preview, aperature, iPhoto). Looks like we have to wait for someone to come up with a patch to fix the issue. My guess Apple is going to do nothing about it and we will have to wait for Adobe to resolve the issue. At least in my case, Lightroom is what caused the issue. The photos still work fine in Tiger, but if I try to access them on my Leopard machine it just crashes.

  • GIMP won't open PDF files anymore

    I just reinstalled my system and noticed that GIMP won't open PDF files anymore. I remember being able to use GIMP to open PDFs and save them as high resolution images.... Am I missing something?

    Make sure you have poppler-glib installed.
    If you have imagemagick installed you might also want to try "convert my.pdf my.jpg". It will be done before gimp opens.

  • Preview won't open PDFs

    I have a brand new Macbook Air using OS X Mavericks and preview won't open any pdf's. It keeps saying "preview quit unexpectedly", it gives me the option of re-opening and still nothing. Not sure what to do - it's quite frustrating. Has anyone experienced this problem?

    Just tried that - preview was already the default option, but I clicked it again anyway and clicked on another option and back to preview to try that too. Re-opened pdf and still same error....

  • Preview won't open JPG image on a USB stick.

    Preview won't open 'JPG' images downloaded from a USB stick. I get this message, "The image"IMG_0091.JPG" could not be opened"  It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn't recognise.
    I can see the thumbnail, but they won't open. Can I change this in some way? And, no, I can't download them again as I have erased them from the memory card, but they are saved in iphoto. 

    You can try deleting the .plist. Quit Preview first.

  • Preview won't open in Lion

    Preview won't open. I get the message "Click Reopen to open the application again. This report will be sent to Apple automatically." I click "reopen" and the same message returns to the screen. What do I do?

    Thanks for nothing! I tried 10 or 12 other things then ran a repair permissions in the disk utility. Forget all of you I will do it my self.

  • HELP! my work ipod touches won't synch with Exchange anymore after the 5.1.1 upgrade

    HELP! my work ipod touches won't synch with Exchange anymore after the 5.1.1 upgrade

    I may have solved it from another post....the "sync music" tab wasn't clicked under "Summary/Music".  I had recently downloaded a more recent version of iTunes, and it may have defaulted to that....sigh.....

  • Lenovo G560 - Issue with won't boot and black screen after HDD upgrade

    Lenovo G560 - Issue with won't boot and black screen after HDD upgrade.
     What happen: My laptop was working fine, no blue screen issue, no funny business at all. I bought a new SSD Intel 120 GB and thought it would be a good idea to replace the HDD. I shutdown and disconnected the power adapter, waited a couple of minutes and removed the battery. I opened up the back case and replaced the HDD. And put all the screws back and put the battery back in.
    Problem: The very first time I turned the power on, nothing happens besides a black screen. I pressed the dvd drive it works and opens up and closes. I waited for about 30 mins and still has blac screen. When I mean black screen, no bios menu, no logo, just a black screen with the fan sound on.
    I have tried these:
    1. Unplugged everything - battery, adapter, and pressed the power on button for about 60 seconds, nothing, the laptop turns on with the LED display on for both on and battery LED's. But nothing but black screen, no sound of windows loading just the fan and black screen.
    2. I tried putting back my old 2.5" and nothing but black screen.
    Thoughts and suggestions?
    Solved!
