Restore Preview default background?

Hello! Can you help me guys? How can I restore the default background in Preview? (10.7 Lion). I changed it to a color in the preferences but I can't change it back to the default texture... :S (that is here by the way: /System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/Versions/C/Resources/NSTexturedFullS creenBackgroundColor.png)

Click on the Windows Background button to open the Colors window.
Click the "Sliders" tab (second on left) and choose the Gray Scale Slider. Set Brightness to 50% and Opacity to 100%.

How do i Restore Preview as my default viewer when using Safari,seems adobe has hi jacked Safari,if i uninstall adobe safari will not open any pdf files.

How do i restore Preview as my default viewer.
Seems adobe has hi-jacked Safari and and opens using abobe not preview.
Have uninstalled adobe but safari then will not display any pdf files.
Preview still works fine to view existing downloaded files.

Niac --
What kind of files? PDFs? or Others as well?
If you want Preview to open all PDFs, then find a PDF on your HD.
Highlight it, and then press the Apple/Comand key along with th letter " i " key.
When the window comes up, look down to the "Open with" line, and change it from Adobe to Preview.
Then look slightly below, and select "Change All."
Now, all PDFs should open with Preview.

I can't save the setting for dowloads to go to the specified folder (such as the desktop). It restores to default when I close Forefox.

Every time Firefox opened

Make sure that you not run Firefox in [[Private Browsing]] mode.
In Private Browsing mode some menu items are disabled (grayed) and some features like visited links and others are disabled and not working.

Restoring Preview from Time Machine

Preview has become unusable for me over the last week. Preview froze when trying to open a pdf and I forced it to quit. Now, every time I open preview it uses all available RAM and freezes.
I've tried shift clicking to open preview "fresh", but this didn't solve the problem. I've tried restoring preview from a previous time machine backup before the problem started, but this didn't help either. I'm guessing that preview settings (like which documents to open at start up) are stored outside of the preview.app container.
Where are the system files for preview stored outside of the preview.app container? I'm hoping I can restore these files from a previous time machine backup. Alternatively, any other method of restoring preview would be much appreciated.

For anyone else that has this problem the folder to delete is Library > Containers > com.apple.Preview

How do i reset my Iphone 4 password without restoring to default?

Recently I've been having problems with my roommates watching me enter my password which forced me to change it periodically.
Only now I can't remember what I changed it to most recently and restoring it to factory settings isn't really an option considering the volume of the content on the device.
I've been without access to my phone for the past week and it's getting almost aggravating having to call and talk to some lady about the issue I'm having, having her sound very empathetic and saying they could "assist me in resolving this today", only to have her say that I'd need to pay $30 just to have her tell me a few words.
I don't have $30 right now and I think it's beyond stupid that they're 'unable to help' me because of this.
In the Backups section of the Apple site I read:
" If you protect your iPhone or iPod touch with a passcode, you will be prompted to enter the passcode when you connect to iTunes. Once you successfully enter the passcode, iTunes will recognize that device as authorized and you will not need your passcode to back up or sync (Which I've done). When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode.) iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups. "
I've just tried restoring from a backup I created last week but my password is still enabled and I'm still unable to remember what I changed it to.
I'm not sure if I misunderstood the bolded section but I was under the impression that restoring it from iOS 4 or later would remove/reset my current password and allow me to set a new one. That hasn't been the case.
I'm not really sure where to go from here, so any and all help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Mjk

Three Numbers questions:how do you change the auto default background or fill color from white to another color to use in multiple succeeding operations? what is the formula to express the ratio of two numbers as a percent?

Numbers questioons:
-how do I change the automatic default background fill color so it stays a non white color?
-what is the formula to express the ratio of two numbers as a percentage?
-how do I create a signal formula to be sue against an entire column of data (for example, if I wanted to multiply the each cell in the column by the number 10)?
-I have created a spreadsheet in Numbers with header and rows labelled and it contains formulas as well. I now want to create a new 'blank' of this template with same header and row names and formulas, but without the cell entries from my earlier exerciser so I can use again in the future. How do I do this?

Hi Matt,
For short columns, the easiest method is to select the cell containing the formula, then grab the fill handle (small circle at the botom right of the selected cell) and drag down.
For long columns, use either Jerry's suggestion (copy/paste) or Insert > Fill > Fill Down.
Copy/Paste:
Select the cell containing the formula. Copy
Select from the cell containing teh formula to the end of the column. Paste.
Fill Down:
After entering the formula, and pressing enter...
Click on the column reference tab to select the whole column.
Command click on each cell above the one containing the formula to remove it from the selection.
When cell with the formula is the top cell in the selection, go Insert > Fill > Fill Down.
Pick whichever is easiest.

Barry

How to remove the option "Set as default background..." from the right-click menu on a picture, for all users.

Hi! I would like to know if there is any possibility to remove the option "Set as default background..." from the right-click menu on a picture, for all users. I know that's possible to edit userContent.css or userChrome.css, but this concerns only a profile at a time and being in a domain, I would like to set this for all people using Firefox.
Can it be possible to edit a mozilla.cfg file to get the same result?
Thank you in advance for help and tips.

AFAIK then there is no way to do that system wide. You can only do that via userChrome.css or an extension like the Menu Editor per profile .You can install extensions globally, but the user will have to enable them anyway. That is not required for userChrome.css code.

Is a script available to set a default background for email messages?

I am new to the community, not to Mac though. Currently I am on a new MacBook Air, Lion installed.
I had a couple of minor issues about mail, the first I solved myself using automator, and succeding in sending an attachment file from finder. It went on working also after the upgrade from snow leopard to lion.
I could not find out how to set a specific default background for new email messages (e.g. a color, or a certain template); I do not want to do it everytime for each message. I tried automator, the workflows runs ok, tried to save it as service for mail and for finder but it did not catch; as application it works, but veeeery slow.
When I pull down the mail window, the Services line says "no services available".
Anyone who worked on this?
thanks

Hi ..
That's not possible as yet but you can provide feedback to Apple here.

Flex 4.5.1 SDK & default-background-color Compiler Argument

Hey guys,
I was scanning the available compiler arguments list (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/flex/using/WS2db454920e96a9e51e63e3d11c0bf69084-7a92.html) for Flex 4.5 SDK and noticed that the -default-background-color argument is gone (I realize it's been gone since 4 just haven't used the SDK much lately). My background shows up as black when I run my app (it's an AS3 app with the new Away3D 4.0 Broomstick library) and there is no Flex code in my app so I was depending on this compiler argument to set my background color to white.
How can I achieve this now that the argument is no longer available? I just simply want to have a white background without physically having to create a white sprite in the back of my scene. Is this possible anymore?
Matt

Simeon,
Thanks for that, I had a brainfart and forgot you can have the properties defined in that manner. I changed it but it still wasn't working which made me realize I had to change the backgroundColor property on the view in Away3D. I realized this after trying the params for the class and then not adding the view (which had a white bg) and then i looked at the docs and bam, there it was. Thanks!

Print outs have thin border when -default-background-color is set

Hey everyone. In my application the print out have this very thin border. The -default-background-color is set to #333333 (dark grey) and this is the problem. When I set the color to #FFFFFF (white), the thin borders go away.
When I set the default-backgroun-color to #FFFFFF, my loading screen is white. I don't want that.
Does anyone know how I can have my loading screen with a #333333, but not have the thin border lines around my print outs? Setting the border properties on the printed component doesn't work. The problem is with the background color.
Thanks for reading.
Tom

Still hacking away at this problem.
I thought I had the fix until I deployed the AIR application. Setting the -default-background-color to white worked fine when running from flex builder, but when I installed the application. The "borders" are still showing.
Has anyone had any experience with this? I'm printing Point of Sale receipts and they look like crap with these lines around them. On top of this, some printers print differently. The HPs print a border around the whole component. The Brother printers just print the left and right. One of my customer's printers just prints the bottom and right borders.

Making preview default viewer for pdf files

Hi,
On my macbook I have the preinstalled 'preview' software and I've recently installed Adobe reader. I much prefer using preview for some functions, but since I installed Adobe reader all pdf files automatically open in that program. I've noticed that when I choose the software to open file with Adobe is now listed as 'default'. Does anyone know how to make preview default rather than Adobe reader?

Hi James,
Chose any PDF file you got already and select it ones ... now get info and a NEW window will open.
Now, somewhere ad the end of this NEW window you will see *Open with* select Preview and select ALL.
Close the window ...
Now the next time you open a PDF it will be opening with Preview.
Good luck ...

Default Background Colour not Black?

I'm having a very irritating problem with the Windows default background colour.
A while ago I had set it to this off-shade of yellow, but now whenever I make a new theme (or even load a saved one) my background colour reverts to this aforementioned yellow instead of whatever I have set it to. Which means my themes can never be saved
and loaded, lest I want to see that awful colour again.
A step-by-step process for those who are having trouble understanding my wording:
make new unsaved theme, bg colour is currently set to yellow. I switch it to black, it works as intended.
Save this theme.
Whenever I load the saved theme, the background colour is yellow, not black, despite all other personalizations saving correctly.
Is there a way to change the default colour so that all themes behave as intended, rather than reverting to my previously selected colour?

Hi,
Can you show us some different screenshots to know more about this issue?

Default background color and Focuslistener disapair on table?

When I imp. TableCellRenderer on my table the default background color and Focuslistener disapair. What can I do to get it back and still keep TableCellRenderer on my table? This is how my TableCellRenderer looks:
    public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int col) {
        JFormattedTextField beloeb = new JFormattedTextField();
        beloeb.setFormatterFactory(new DefaultFormatterFactory(new NumberFormatter()));
        beloeb.setBorder(null);
        beloeb.setHorizontalAlignment(JTextField.RIGHT);
        if (value != null) {
            if (value instanceof Double) {
                Double val = (Double) value;
                beloeb.setValue(val);
                if (val.doubleValue() < 0) {
                    beloeb.setForeground(Color.RED);
        beloeb.setFont(new Font("Verdana",Font.PLAIN, 11));
        beloeb.setOpaque(true);
        return beloeb;
    }

I'm sorry to say this is a terrible example of a renderer. The point of using a renderer is to reuse the same object over and over. You don't keep creating Objects every time a cell is renderered. In your example your are creating:
a) JFormattedTextField
b) NumberFormatter
c) DefaultFormatterFactory
d) Font.
So you start by extending the DefaultTableCellRenderer. A JLabel is used to display the text. There is no need to use a JFormattedTextField. All you want to do is format the data. So in your constructor for the class you would create a NumberFormatter that can be reused to format your data. Then your code in the renderer would look something like:
if (value instanceof Double)
    Double val = (Double)value;
    setText( formatter.format(val) );
    if (negative)
      setForeground(Color.RED)
    else
        setForeground(table.getForeground());

Default background color issue

Hi,
I am trying to change themes at run-time using
StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations(). Whenever I switch to a theme,
the default theme's background color shows up for a fraction of a
second. I tried using the "StyleEvent.COMPLETE" event handler but
it doesn't seem to work. Is there a way to remove this? I want the
transition from my current theme to the next theme to be smooth
without the default background color appearing. If anybody can
please provide a solution for this, It would be a great help.
Thanks,
Jai

That's not what he's talking about... He's saying if you load

the default, green Halo theme before switching to the new style...
If I load up my white theme (White.swf -- compiled to swf from css)
and then I want to change to my red theme (Red.swf) like:
StyleManager.unloadStyleDeclarations("White.swf");
StyleManager.loadStyleDeclarations("Red.swf");
At the * point in the execution, it will flash the green Halo
theme instead of just making a smooth transition from white to
red... It doesn't look so professional...
I have the same problem when switching themes, and it's very
annoying... Guess I'll keep an eye on this thread...

I backed up my iphone 4 before updating to my iphone 5 and it restored to default settings. As a result, i have lost all my photos. Is there ant way to reverse the back up as I have a 2 month old baby and desperatly want to retrieve my photos :-(

Pictures are designed to be copied off the device regularly as would be done with any digital camera. There is no logical reason why anyone would fail to do this with supposedly important pictures.
If a recent backup exists, it is also possible to restore the device from the most recent backup, this may restore pictures to the device. If it does, COPY THEM OFF THE DEVICE IMMEDIATELY for safekeeping.
