Renaming a file in Preview for Mavericks

When I try to rename a file in preview (File -> Rename) and I start typing the input box just gets overwritten I can't see the file name anymore:
Start:
Bug:
Bug 2:
Also the only way to get it to work is this new "Tags" drop down with the arrow, but there A) no key command to get there (terrible UI) and B) you can't save it once you are in.

This sounds like a bug from the install. I use Mavericks and do not have this problem. I suggest reinstalling: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13871

Merging files in Preview for Mountain Lion

I would like to merge some jpgs into a single file using preview. I am currently using Mountain Lion. This was possible to do so on previous versions on Preview yet I can't seem to figure put how to do it here. Is this stilll possible using Preview for Mountain Lion? This was a very useful feature.
Help. Anyone?
Many thanks in advance.

I don't know about your Preview problem and I am interested to see responses about it.
When you say no iPhoto in Finder. Do you mean iPhoto is not listed in the Applications folder? If you do a Finder search on iPhoto is it found. Mine is in "Bobs HD>Applications

Renaming new files in pages for iCloud

When I create a new blank file in Pages for iCloud beta the file is named blank. There is no obvious way to rename it. If I close the document and then try to restart Pages for iCloud I get an error message stating that pages can't be loaded.
This seems fundamental so I presume it is addressed somewhere.

That is what I thought would be the way to do it. However it seemed the only way to see the file selector window was to close the file I was working on and and then hit the pages for iCloud icon again to get the file select window. However, pages refused to reload. I was left with checking the iCloud files on the Mac. I changed the file name there. It sees to me the online and iOS versions of the program should allow for naming of the file from within the files editing window just as can be done on the mac version.
Thanks for the follow up. I guess I just need to figure out why pages for iCloud wouldn't relaod. I suspect it needs to be closed first and that must involve more than closing a window. That begs the question of how the web based program is closed.

Incorrect file icon/preview for downloaded files

Hey all,
I've recently upgraded to Mavericks and I've noticed an issue where files I've downloaded from the internet will sometimes appear as they should on my desktop with the appropriate icon based on the file extension or with the appropriate icon preview, but in other instances the file icon looks like the one in the attached screen shot. The file still opens fine and behaves normally, but the icon is weird and makes it hard to quickly find when I'm looking or a specific photo or type of file. Any solutions?
Thanks,

It works as it should.

I tried to rename a file, it gave me an error message (can't remember the number - 43??) and then the file disappeared from the original folder. When I do a search, the file comes up under the new name, but it does not show a path, and even though preview shows the contents, I can't open the document (Powerpoint) and I can't move the document. I tried "Copy" and paste but it doesn't work. I tried "Share" with Airdrop and iChat, but the file is inaccessible. When i try to rename the file, it says the filename is too long.
When I try to open it, it says the alias is not good, and asks if I want to fix the alias. I'm afraid to do that and lose all access to this document.
Right now, it feels like a ghost document - it is on the computer intact, but it is in an undisclosed location and inaccessible.
Please help!!

I was able to resolve this by repairing permissions, even though no permissions error was listed specifically for that file.
I could also have recovered it through Time Machine, but I'm interested in knowing how not to have this happen again!
I was afraid of rebooting and possibly losing track even of the ghost.
I did not try EasyFind - I'll keep that in mind next time.
Thanks for all the comments.

Thumbnail Preview for RAW Files Not Appearing in Bridge

Hello,
I'm running Adobe Bridge 5.1 on a Mac OS 10.9.2 (recently upgraded to Maverick) and I can no longer see thumbnail previews for my RAW files (which include .NEF, .CR2 and .RAF) though as of a few days ago this wasn't a problem. Not sure if it's related to the Maverick upgrade... but FYI, I do see thumbnail previews for .TIFF and .JPEG files.
I've already purged my cache generally and have also as a test chosen a local file to purge - that didn't work.
I've restarted Bridge at least 2x by pressing and holding the Option key.
I've also checked for Bridge updates - everything is up to date.
My Cache Options (within Preferences) are set to "Keep 100% Previews in Cache" and "Automatically Export Cache to Folders When Possible" - both checked.
Also downloaded the Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter 8.3, installed it but that didn't work.
I can't seem to find my Bridge cache folder or at least what's in the Library's "Caches" folder doesn't include anything for Bridge - see screenshot below.
Please help! Thank you in advance.

To me it seems related to your Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) converter. Clue inhere is you only miss the Raw files and have no problems in seeing other formats like jpeg and tiff.
The screenshot you delivered is from the wrong library, however, this same library (the one on system level) also is the location where you should be able to view the correct version of your ACR plugin. The path: library (same as per your screenshot)/Application support/ Adobe/ Plug ins/ CS6/ File Formats. inhere should be only one version of Camera Raw (called: "Camera Raw.plugin") and this should show version 8.3 (141).
I'm not sure about your bridge version number, Bridge 5 comes with PSCS6 but my most recent version of Bridge is 5.0.2.4.
Anyway, if you have only one ACR (8.3) installed in the above mentioned path then you might want to try to delete the Bridge plist file and Bridge cache file manually.
For this you have to Quit Bridge and find the user library (by default hidden, use menu Go in Finder and press option key to reveal).
Inhere find the plist file (user(your user name) / library / Preferences and inhere find and manually delete the file called: "com.adobe.bridge5.plist"
The in same user library find Bridge Cache. User/Library/Caches/Adobe/Bridge CS6. Inhere are 2 files, the adobe Bridge plug in cache and the folder called Cache. delete (or move outside libray) both items.
The restart Bridge (If needed also again hold option key to reset preferences) and this will create fresh files for the previous deleted items, leaving you with an almost out of the box factory set version of Bridge.

I have a brand new macbook pro 15" with latest Lion.Can anyone tell me why, when I open word or preview etc that multiple files open?For eg if I open a word doc, the last 1-3 docs that I have worked on all open. why?

I have a brand new macbook pro 15" with latest Lion. Can anyone tell me why, when I open word or preview etc that multiple files open?For eg if I open a word doc, the last 1-3 docs that I have worked previously on all open. Can anyone tell me why?

You have a choice as to whether or not applications in Lion like Word or Preview (or even Safari) save and re-open previous documents or windows... just hold down the option key while quitting a program and when you re-open it you won't get the previous documents or windows when you re-open the application. You can see this by selecting the open program in the menu bar and when holding down the option key the quit function will change to quit and discard open windows. This feature in Lion is referred to as "Resume" and is great if you want to restart an app and return to what you're doing (for example in Safari re-opening existing windows and tabs from your previous session). You still have the option to close individual windows within an app before quitting and they will not re-open when the app is launched again.
This Resume function is not related to saving your work (a word or text document for example). This is handled by Lion's "Auto-Save" and "Versions" functions. See http://www.apple.com/ca/macosx/whats-new/auto-save.html
Hopefully this is the complete answer you're looking for.

Trying to get Photoshop CS4 functional with Mavericks and an Epson 3880 printer. CS4 fails to send a file to the print queue. Have reinstalled the Epson 3880 driver for Mavericks. All looks good but no file is sent.

rying to get Photoshop CS4 functional with Mavericks and an Epson 3880 printer. CS4 fails to send a file to the print queue. Have reinstalled the Epson 3880 driver for Mavericks. All looks good but no file is sent.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

What EXACT version of Photoshop CS4 are you running? You should be on Photoshop CS4 v 11.0.2.
Also run Apple's software update to see whether it offers you the latest Epson update:
Printer Driver v9.33
Epson Stylus Pro 3880, Drivers & Downloads - Technical Support - Epson America, Inc.
MOST IMPORTANTLY: have Photoshop re-create its own Preferences:
To re-create the preferences files for Photoshop, start the application while holding down Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Windows) or Command+Option+Shift (Mac OS). Then, click Yes to the message, "Delete the Adobe Photoshop Settings file?"
Note: If this process doesn't work for you while you're using a wireless (Bluetooth) keyboard, attach a wired keyboard and retry.
Important: If you re-create the preferences by manually deleting the Adobe Photoshop CS6 Settings file, make sure that you only delete that file. If you delete the entire settings folder, you also delete any unsaved actions or presets.
Reinstalling Photoshop does not remove the preferences file. Before reinstalling Photoshop, re-create your preferences.
NEW Video! Julieanne Kost created a video that takes you through two ways of resetting your Photoshop preferences. The manual preference file removal method is between 0:00 - 5:05. The keyboard shortcut method is between 5:05 - 8:18. The video is located here:

Important: Apple made the user library folder hidden by default with the release of Mac OS X 10.7. If you require access to files in the hidden library folder to perform Adobe-related troubleshooting, see How to access hidden user library files.

Editing pdf files in Preview painfully SLOW with mavericks! Why? How to fix?

Editing pdf files in Preview is painfully SLOW with Mavericks! With mountain lion everything was so smooth .... Why? How can I fix this?

I stopped using preview. Adobe Acrobat Pro is running fine ... this is not a solution to the problem though. The question remains open: why is preview not running as before?
Why did I upgrade?!

Maverick OS: file index preview, delete but file image remains in preview.

Anyone having same issue? Or have I found a bug?
In 'Folder' file view lists, which there are 4 options to view, found in 'top left corner' of folder view: '4 square' - 'Stack' - '3 Coloumn' and 'Index file preview'.
In the 'Index file preview' setting where the highlighted file appears in the preview window at the top of folder.
If I delete a sleceted file, the deleted file image remains in 'file viewer window' above! (the file is sent to trash).
This deleted file then throws ones highlighted slected file names out of sync with what image appears in the 'preview window'.
This can lead to a mis deletation if you dont keep an eye on file name and corosponding preview image above.
If I select file 'ascending or desending' in any of the file properties like 'name - date or kind' this does 'correct - reset' preview stacking images - but I'm sure this isnt how it should be?
Thoughts?

Hi tonmeno,
Yes this is a hard issue to explain in words alone, but you sound like you are having the same concerns.
Have I found a solution? No, not really.
However, I think it only affects those files that were copied across in the Maverick update - this does not affect new folders generated after the Mavericks install. (?)
What I did find was, lets says I'm in one of those old folders. I delete images or files not required (as we note the preview image remains) if I then go to the 'Change item arrangement' the (six tiny squares with a down arrow icon button), next to the '4 in a line viewing option' buttons (top left of finder window). Then select say arrange as 'name' I now get a reshuffled list of true files contents (previews corrected). But this is no way a fix.
Not sure I can say the Finder is slow?
This sure is a strange one - And as we've both noted this can lead to unnecessary file deletion!
Come-on Apple :-) we can't be the only ones? I'm running 2010 Macbook pro - on 10.9 with everything else up to date.
I believe its a bug.

"Preview for Files Not Available" & "Failed to Find a Place for the Imported File"??

When I export RAW images into LR, some say "Preview for Files Not Available". Also, it says "Failed to Find a Place for the Imported File". Why? What can I do to resolve this

Hi,
Tried with this but still the same issue..
Stop the application services, recompile the JSP files manually, and start the application services. Check the login page then.

I'm trying to export a file as .dwg for Autocad but it's not showing the dwg preview and it appears to be saving as code (lots of gobbledegook when reopening the file). I'm on OS 10.5.8. Never had a problem with this before. What am I missing? Any idea

First be sure login and password are OK. Sometimes the address starts wit "http://..." and sometime starts with "ftp://...". Try both normal FTP access and Scure FTP access (SFTP). At the end, contact the site's provider.

No preview for autocad dwg files (bridge CS4)

hello!
my computer is:
windows 7 / x64 / nividia 9600GT
with my new computer we switched from CS3 to adobe CS4 products. (illustrator / PS)
unfortunately i can't see previews of autocad dwg files anymore. (very important for my work).
the .dwg files show up only as an autocad icon.
we installed autocad 2010. but i think this is not the case, because bridge does not make previews for autocad 2009 files either.
windows 7 makes correct previews.
funny - bridge opens illustrator CS4 as default for .dwg files.
in the preferences "file type association" autocad as a software is missing. i have to browse to the autocad.exe program.
the default association was illustrator...
is this the case for not making a preview? the "old" computer was a - win xp / 32bit - the preview in CS3 was there.
i did not have to browse for the "file type association". autocad was a choosable entity.
any comment on that would be fine...
thanks in advance.

thanks for this quick reply...
we have "Lightroom" not installed. because we don't own this product...
our installation is only "Illustrator CS4" and "PS CS4". and "Bridge CS4" of course.
in the attachement you see the "File Type Association" process.
Bridge knows only "Illustrator" and "PS". I had to browse to the autocad.exe file (AutoCAD Application R18.0).
the other attachement shows the Autocad "icon" and the Illustrator preview / .jpg preview in Bridge.
again:
"Windows 7" knows Autocad files. it does a preview of the .dwg /.dxf files correct.
