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.

IPod Nano won't open .jpg images Why?

iPod Nano (Importing Photos)
Version: 1.1.3
Model: iPod MA477C
Format: Windows (Should this be "Mac" if I am on a mac? And how would I change this?
I can't seem to import an .jpg image into my iPod Nano. I have iTunes open and my Nano connected. I selected the "Photo'" tab and then selected "Sync photos from: "Choose folder" I then browse to a folder where the .jpg image resides but the image is greyed out. What's up.
I created the image in Photoshop and the exported it as a low res ,jpg image so shouldn't this work?
Thanks

This happened to me when using iTunes 6. Is that the version you are using? I was never able to find a complete answer to the "Preferences not saved" error or any knowledge base articles with an official explanation. I did however find a workaround in a previous discussion. Connect your iPod and in the short time that it is still visible on the desktop just as iTunes is opening, go to Preferences>iPod and tick "enable disk use". You have to be quick but it can be done. Once it is enabled you will be able to go back and update the preferences such as manual update etc. and and you'll not get the error.
If you are using iTunes 7 try the same technique only tick "enable disk use" in the Summary tab before your iPod unmounts.

Preview won't open multiple images

When I open one image in preview, it opens fine. If I open a second image, the first image disappears. If I try and open multiple images at once, the drawer slides out, but it's empty, and again, only one image will show up. Any ideas?

Hello, if you cannot figure out how to fix the issue I have a nice PDF combiner and exporter, you can write in any application, Text Edit, Pages, Word, and export to PDF, combine with this tool.

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.

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.

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.

Media Browser won't open iPhoto images after 10.4.5 update!@#$%^!@#$

Media Browser won't open iPhoto images after 10.4.5 update!@#$%^!@#$
I could use iPhoto images in Media Browser before the update - is this happening to anyone else?
I have restarted... no change. Maybe I'll try opening and closing iPhoto once.

Thanks for the reply.
I am on Pages 2 also... Hmmm, Perhaps I just don't know what I am doing - New to Pages. I see my Library, Last Roll and all my albums in the Media Browser but when I double click one of them nothing happens - Is there some other way to open them?

Photoshop won't open Raw images with my new Camera Canon 6D help! I use Photoshop CS5 extended version.

Hello,
I got a new camera and Photoshop and Lightroom won't open Raw images with my new Camera Canon 6D help! I use Photoshop CS5 extended version. and Lightroom 3

Good news and bad news:
The bad news is that you need CS6 or higher to open 6D RAWs. (The 6D didn't get support until Camera Raw 7.3; 7.0 premiered in CS6.) You can choose to upgrade (I'd recommend skipping CS6 and go straight for CC 2014 for $10/month) *OR*...
...the good news is that the DNG Converter can help you convert your RAWs into DNGs for use in CS5 and Lightroom 3.

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 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.

Unable to open jpg images on iPhone 8.1 email

Since the 8.0 OS update, the email on my iPhone won't open jpg attachments. Anyone have an answer for this problem?

Can you please share a sample file at the email address listed above? The desktop Reader is pretty forgiving and will often display PDF that is invalid. In general, our Mobile Reader is less lenient, though when we encounter files that the desktop product allows but we do not, we make an attempt to be similarly lenient. A sample file will help!

Why won't iPhone 6 open jpg images?

i have new iPhone 6, but when someone sends a jpg image either by txt or email, the images won't open on the iPhone. The email images do open fine on my laptop. Is this a defect in the phone or the new operating system?

I tried forwarding my friends email to myself and when I do that, the pictures open with no trouble. Does that mean it has to do with how he is attaching the files?

Why won't my 4S open jpg images in email?

A friend emails me images on my phone as JPGs, but they won't open on my 4S. They open just fine on my desktop. I can't find anything in settings that would be preventing it.
Thanks.
