Snow Leopard version of Preview:  Enable lines of text in the search results?

In Preview 4 on OS X 10.5.8 Leopard and Preview 3 on OS X 10.4.11 Tiger, when a search of a PDF file was conducted, the search term would appear in context in the drawer on the side of the main Preview window.  The multiple lines of text in the search results could then be quickly scanned visually.
In Preview 5 on OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard, the search result display options do not seem to include the lines of text found in Preview 4 and Preview 3.  Is there a setting somewhere, maybe even performed via the command line in the Terminal application, that can enable Preview 5 to display such lines of text in the search results?

It's either that or finding other software for your scanning needs. For example, Image Capture comes with OS X, VueScan 9.2.09, ExactScan Pro 2.24.
Alternatively, partition your hard drive and install Snow Leopard on another volume.
To resize the drive do the following:
1. Open Disk Utility and select the drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list.
2. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.  (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
You should now have a new volume on the drive. Use the Snow Leopard installer DVD to install Snow Leopard on your new volume.
It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss.  Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.

  • Can I restore the Snow Leopard version of 'Preview' for use in Mountain Lion?

    When running Snow Leopard I enjoyed using Preview with my HP C7280 All-in-One Scanner/Printer.  I could place several items on the glass plate and Preview would then carry out a "preview scan". The superior edge detection software contained in Preview would recognise that there was more than one item on the scanner glass and put a marquee rectangle around each object (even separate images in a magazine page).  I could de-select objects if I wanted to at this point to avoid scanning them, or I could opt to scan. 
    Preview would then scan all selected items in one go outputting a separate file for each one. No need to re-scan and select the next object.  Preview would do the lot in one go! This was fantastic for saving  time for me. 
    Preview really 'kicked the crap' out of my PC at work. The best the scanning software on the PC could was to auto-detect a single item.*  So if I have a lot to do, I have to preview scan and then save/scan each item individually to achieve the same result.
    All this changed when I updated from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.  The scanning is nothing like as effective and time saving as before.  Preview just scans the whole glass plate straight to a file irrespective of what is on it, no preview scan and no object edge detection whatsoever; not even a single object like on my old PC at work. Absolute rubbish!
    I really want to restore the functionality I had before. So I wonder, is it best to revert my iMac to Snow Leopard, or can I achieve this another way?   I don't necessarily want to abandon Mountain Lion - but I will if I have to.
    Is it possible to restore the Snow Leopard version of Preview whilst keeping Mountain Lion? Or maybe download the Lion version from somewhere instead - assuming that the Lion version still has same functionality as the Snow Leopard version?
    *Even this is better than what Preview does since I updated to Mountain Lion

  • I have a mac  book pro that i bought in late 2009. My current software is snow leopard version 10.5.8. I would like to get the new lion operating system but I cant without first getting the latest version of snow leopard. it doesnt show on software updat

    I have a mac book pro that i bought in late 2009. My current software is snow leopard version 10.5.8. I would like to get the new lion operating system but I cant without first getting the latest version of snow leopard. however when I go to update my software it doesnt show that any update is available.

    10.5.8 is Leopard, not Snow Leopard. You need the Snow Leopard DVD;
    You can get it only by phone now from Apple.
    In the US, call 1-800-MY-APPLE and ask for a sales assistant. Last quoted price was $19.99 for the single-user and $29.99 for the family licence.
    For other countries, check here; http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    Don't forget to ask for Sales; the tech support guys can't help.
    If you want Lion, rather than Mountain Lion, the same Sales team can give you a download code to use at the Mac AppStore.
    To get the App Store, you need to update your new Snow Leopard from 10.6.3 (which is the version on the installer) to 10.6.8 with the combo update; http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    Be warned that the upgrades will render a lot of older software unusable, and will need new drivers for printers and scanners in all likelihood.

  • I recently updated to snow leopard version 10.6.3 and quicktime isn't working.  What do I need to do?

    I recently updated to snow leopard version 10.6.3 and quicktime player isn't working.  What do I need to do to get it working again?  I have quicktime player version 10.0.

    Mac OS X 10.6 includes QuickTime versions 10.0 and 7.6.3. The QuickTime 7 player will only be present if a QuickTime Pro key was present at the time of installation, or if specified as part of a custom install, or individually downloaded:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/dl923
    Snow Leopard update 10.6.4 included an update to 7.6.6 (if installed). You can install it from the above link  even though it says for 10.6.3. It's the same version of QuickTime Player 7.6.6.
    (Only QuickTime Player 7.6.3 or 7.6.6 can be updated to "Pro".)
    A Mac OS X v10.6, OS X Lion, and OS X Mountain Lion-compatible version of QuickTime Player 7 is available for use with older media or with AppleScript-based workflows. QuickTime Player 7 can be used to playback formats such as QTVR, interactive QuickTime Movies, and MIDI files. Also, it supports QuickTime 7 Pro registration codes for access to QuickTime Pro functionality.

  • Multilingual Braille for Snow Leopard, version 10.6.5

    As some users may already have discovered, the latest update to Mac OS X Snow Leopard, version 10.6.5, breaks the previous release of the CeciMac Multilingual Braille package.
    As a result, users of Braille in languages other than Apple American English should visit the English-language page on the CeciMac website to download the current beta version, which does install correctly.
    This version also allows for Braille input from terminals with 8-dot keyboards, and in the Release Notes folder on the disc image, users will find notes explaining the discrepancies between previous versions and the new beta.
    I should very much like to receive feedback on the various languages, so if you have any comments, I'd be grateful if you could complete the Feedback Request document, also on the disc image, and return it. Any suggested changes will be considered and, if appropriate, incorporated into the definitive version of this new release.
    Good luck, everyone!

    Reinstall your iLife apps from your iLife DVD or from the original installer discs that came with your computer. If you cannot do either then you can call Apple customer service to purchase a replacement set. Or you can simply re-purchase iLife's individual apps from the App Store.

    I have snow leopard version 10.6.8. How do I get my email now?

    Apple states that you can get it through the website iCloud.com
    However, you can also use your mail account if you set it up manually.
    Delete your mail account from Mail preferences and set it up again using the Mail Server Information.
    Some users have apparently encountered issues using this information in pre-Lion set ups (I haven't), Roger Wilmut has kindly provided instructions for those who find themselves with this problem.

    Only if those disks are the ones which shipped with the computer. Retail packages never came with an Applications disk. If they are, install them onto a blank partition or drive.

  • I have a Mac OSX Version 10.5.8 When I put in my disc to upgrade to snow leopard version 10.6.3 it tells me I need atleast 1gb of ram memory to download. what can I do

    I have a Mac OSX Version 10.5.8 When I put in my disc to upgrade to snow leopard version 10.6.3 it tells me I need atleast 1gb of ram memory to download. what can I do

    Your iMac can take a total of 2 GBs of RAM Max.
    Maximum Memory
    2.0 GB
    Memory Slots
    2 - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM
    You will be able to install OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and it will run, but you may not be happy with the performance overall.
    OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and later OS X versions use more and more CPU, GPU and RAM resources.
    OS X 10.6, by itself, will use between 2-4 GBs of RAM to run quickly, smoothly and efficiently.
    Start running additonal applications and your iMac is going to struggle.
    Just fair warning if you notice that your iMac is running slower after installing OS X 10.6.
    Good Luck!

    Yes, look in Activity Monitor (Applications /Utilities /Activity Monitor.app) and see what it eating up all the %CPU. If anything is over 40%, post the name here to get advice or just kill it straight away with the red 'Quit' button.
    If nothing is using up CPU resources, but the fans are going full blast, do an SMC reset. Read the instructions here:

    Hi, you need 10.6.8 first...
    First you need to research all the problems people are having with the higher OSX versions, & make sure you have a bootable clone of what you have just in case.
    then you must get 10.6, install it & update to 10.6.8 so you have the App Store to buy & download the huge 10.8 Installer.
    Snow Leopard/10.6.x Requirements...
    General requirements
       * Mac computer with an Intel processor
        * 1GB of memory (I say 4GB at least, more if you can afford it)
        * 5GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
        * DVD drive for installation
        * Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
        * Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    Which apps work with Mac OS X 10.6?...
