Suggestions for Preview app features (Snow Leopard)

There's lot's to like in the new Preview app, but I'd like a few more things:
1. Ability to edit and reorder Tables of Contents.
2. Ability to reorder Bookmarks (and to hierarchically group them)
3. Sensible control over formatting of links.
Thanks

Exactly!
If Apple was not interested in feedback for improving products, then the feedback pages make no sense whatsoever. If you think they're just for bug reporting, then why isn't the page titled "Product Bug Reports," and why are four of the seven items in the Feedback Type not in any way bug related?
What I think is irrelevant. I'm just repeating the message.

  • Preview.app in Snow Leopard doesn't open some jpg files

    Preview.app in Snow Leopard doesn't open some jpg files.
    Preview does't issue an error message, it behaves as I did't try to open file at all.
    These images could be easy opened in iPhoto, so files seem to be OK.
    I couldn't attach one such example image to this message, it's exceeds 2mb limit, but courtesy to google image could be downloaded by the link https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B56gs1tsb9aNYjA2MDdmNzUtOWY3NS00ODg1LWIzZDAtYTA 5YzFjZmZjYjRh&hl=en_US.
    What's that? Should I file a bug?

    Unfortunately, it sounds as if your internal disk failed (hardware failure).
    Things to try:
    (1) Boot from your Apple Hardware Test CD/DVD, which sometimes is a separate disk or sometimes is on the original OS install disk. Run the tests, all of them, to see what is amiss.
    (2) Reset PRAM as described in  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379 . I don't think this is likely to help because even though your startup disk is not being selected, it seems that your internal disk is simply unable to be found or mounted, implying hardware failure more than software. But it's worth a try.
    Probably time to take your computer in for repairs, either at the Apple Store or to an authorized Apple repair shop. Most likely they will simply replace your drive. You could also ask them to mount the old drive in an enclosure to see if files can be copied from it if you don't have a backup.

  • How to get iPhone sounds for Mail.app on Snow Leopard?

    Hi,
    I like the "new text message" sound called "Chime". I would like to use this sound for new mails in Mail.app, too. Is there any way I can download this sound on my MacBook Pro (from some webpage?)?
    The sound "Glas" is available both on Mail.app and on the iPhone, but note the "Chime" sound.
    Cheers

  • TS3579 How do I reinstall mail app on Snow Leopard 10.6.8

    Is there an update file that I can pull a recent version of the Mac Mail app from onto my machine?
    I am on Mac OSX 10.6.8
    Situation:
    I never use Mac Mail, but a recent client of mine was trying to configure it and so I thought I'd pull it up and help them setup an account on the phone.
    The problem is,Mac Mail doesn't come up at all. I rarely use email right on my machine, what with Gmail and Thunderbird as my usual modalities with email. The thought of littering my machine with actual email files seems archaic.
    So I deleted Mail app.
    I then ran Software Update to see if it would notice the app as missing and attempt to reinstall but that was just wishful thinking. App store doesn't seem to care about existing packages on the machine beyond whatever is purchased in App store so that was a waste of time also.
    I don't want to have to go through a lot of shenanigans with update programs and DVDs ...
    I remember seeing somewhere how someone simply pulled the app out a recent update and just dragged it onto their machine - if anyone knows which update for 10.6.x Snow Leopard would have this app in it thanks in advance.
    Thanks in advance

    FIXED - THE SOLUTION
    1. Locate your Apple Install DVD #1 - "Mac OSX Install DVD"
    2. Download & install Pacifist See http://www.charlessoft.com/
    3. Download the "Security Update 2012-004" file from here:http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1586
    4. Delete all existing versions of Mail.app on system (See also https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4419244?start=0&tstart=0)
    5. Open Pacifist and choose Open Package
    Browse to the Optional Installs folder on the DVD, and open Optional Installs package (mpkg)
    Pacifist will take a few minutes to open the package and display its contents.
    "Now would be a great time to fill out your registration card" or go get a cup of coffee or cocktail, yes you have time.
    Once the package contents have been revealed, locate the Mail.app and attempt to drag it to your Applications folder.
    When you do this, Pacifist will prompt you for permission to extract it to where you dragged it to.
    Click Extract
    Then enter your password:
    And Pacifist will extract the Mail.app to your Applications folder:
    Yes, my apps are all nicely organized - it is legal to organize and declutter the disorganized mess that is your Applications folder, which is how Apple installs it. The only problem is that because Apple thinks a disorganized mess of an Applications folder is just fine, their people don't take into account actually locating the Mail.app when they do the security update, and just assume you'll have it in the sheeple location of "Applications". That's what caused this problem to begin with.
    Now, if you try to run this version of the app, on a system previously updated to 10.6.8, you will get an error:
    6. Right, so now you run the SecUpd2012 004, and reboot.
    As a side note,  Security Update 2012-004 will s h i t  an unusable version of the Quicktime player into your Applications folder also.
    See it there without the proper icon. 
    Since I had accidently deleted Quicktime 7 from my machine, not really missing it, but I was wondering what happened to it ... so using Pacifist I was also able to get a working version back onto my system the same way as Mail. So while Security Update 2012-004 s h i t s this unusable version into the Applications folder, it does nothing to update the Quicktime 7 app. Perhaps someone else can explain that. So I just deleted the unusable Quicktime Player app.
    Now, Mail.app works fine even before reboot, as does Quicktime as is from the Optional Installs mpkg but you gotta reboot after the update but it should work already.

  • Migration assistant update for Mac OS X Snow Leopard

    Hello -- I downloaded SNOW LEOPARD successfully that past week. I did a software update as well afterwards.
    Now in preparation for upgrading to LION OS X, I read an article that mentions one must make sure to have the MIGRATION ASSISTANT UPDATE for Mac OS X Snow Leopard installed. I am unsure if this was included in the software updates I performed. One would assume it would be there. BUT there is not a detailed listing of what these combination updates include. HOW can I tell if I have the desired version required to continue on to LION?
    Another suggestion was for one to perform FIRST AID on the start up disk. It only says to select your Mac HD and then to "verify" ..... do they mean to VERIFY DISK or VERIFY DISK PERMISSIONS. I have on occasion performed a REPAIR DISK PERMISSIONS but not the others mentioned. I do not know what the difference is?
    THANK YOU

    I have the same console mesages repeating ad-nasium as you do. What is interesting is I do have the StartuoItems directory but it is empty. The problem I have is that the log-in window comes up as normal, but I can not type in it for about 5-8 seconds. This has started after the latest updates which you mention. Don't know if this issue is related or not. Have deleted the loginwindows and loginitems preferences to no effect.

  • Today's Security Update 2012-001 is POISON to PowerPC/Rosetta apps  on Snow leopard!

    First time I've ever had a routine Security Update cause me problems with OS-X, ever.
    Today's Security Update 2012-001   is absolutely crashing my PowerPC/Rosetta apps on Snow Leopard .
    Every time to try to OPEN... SAVE or Save as ...PRINT  , you will get an instant hard crash.
    I still use AppleWorks 6 for all my business correspondence , and have quite a few other PPC apps.
    This security update is poison.
    Other forums, such as Macintouch , are reporting this. it seems to be affecting almost everyone , regardless of hardware system.
    It appears enything and everything PPC will crash , even Apple's own older PPC/Rosetta apps .
    SU 2012-001 for Snow Leopard obviously was not tested well, if at all.
    Apple MUST fix this ASAP, no matter how much they want to divorce Rosetta and PPC technology for the OS. There is no excuse for dispatching a system software update that  has such damaging issues. 
    I have no need for Lion 10.7 whatsoever , but I do need my Rosetta apps every day... and Apple just crashed them.

    Backup files off the computer (not TimeMachine) and disconnect.
    If you have TM, or a option key bootable clone use that to erase and restore from.
    If not, c boot off the 10.6 disk, use Disk Utility to >Repair Disk and Permissions,  (do not format or erase!!) and simply re--install 10.6
    Note: If Disk Repair gives a error that is not repaired, then you have to consider erasing the drive (with Zeros) and try reinstalling 10.6 fresh or replacing the drive.
    Reboot and log in, update to 10.6.8, it should not include the security update at this time (second pass it might show) because it was just released and they might need to pull it. (they need to pull it)
    When you reboot, make sure to reinstall any programs that installed kext files into OS X, you'll know, they won't work.
    If you get gray screen, hold the shift key and update your installed software so it's compatible with 10.6.8.

  • Cannot access safe boot for Mac Air running Snow Leopard any suggestion please?

    Mac Air - Mid 2011 (79gig free space). Running Snow Leopard 10.6 + all updates installed to-date. Last update was iTunes 98m file which was installed 4 days ago.
    Unit has progressively slowed up, starting with intermittent freezing of cursor, which appears to have started not long after connecting iPhone 5 running current iOS.
    Have accessed Safe Boot and ran drive utility check, all ok.
    Received error message after drive check stating, "(AppleUsbEthernetHost.text) incorrectly installed".
    Have subsequently tried accessing Safe Boot again to try and reset permissions, but can not access as unit constantly freezes at Login page.
    Have followed Apple support recommendations to access Safe Boot, but to no avail.
    Have seen forum references to the above error relating to iOS mobile devices causing problems with earlier versions of iTunes updates. 
    Any suggestions as to how to proceed from here would be appreciated ?

    I suggest you backup your files, if possible, then do the following:
    Clean Install of Snow Leopard
    Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
    the drive and everything on it.
         1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
             with your computer.  Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
             After the chime press and hold down the  "C" key.  Release the key when you see
             a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
         2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
             button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
             After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
             size.)  Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.  Set the number of
             partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
             and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
             (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
         3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed
             with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
         4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
             Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
             username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
             Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
             install of OS X.  You can now begin the update process by opening Software
             Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
    Reinstall your third-party software from the original media. Restore your data from the backup.

  • Installation Options for iMovie HD on Snow Leopard system with iLife '09

    Greetings and thank-you for contributing suggestions on what is a well worn subject. I have read many of the posts existing on this topic and am trying to nip some details.
    I have a late 2006 iMac that came with Tiger and iMovie HD which is now at version 6.0.3. When I upgraded to Snow Leopard (Boxed Set) I got iLife 09 but, as it was supposed to do, it left me iMovie HD which is what I have used. I have both sets of installation DVD's. (from the iMac and the SL upgrade)
    Today I got a new MacMini and am plotting how to get iMovie HD on it.
    I gather that I first need to remove iMovie 09 from the Mini. I do that by dragging its application bundle in finder to the trash and removing any receipt packages.
    Do I have to remove all of the iLife 09 applications or just iMovie 09?
    Then, I reinstall either all of iLife 06 from the iMac DVD or just iMovie HD. After that I can load iLife 09 from the SL DVD. That will leave the iMovie HD on the system but upgrade everything else.
    Should I run software update from iMovie HD to try to get the 6.0.3 version or download and run the upgrade image? Does it matter?
    I am good to go. Did I miss anything?
    I also have a SuperDuper clone of the iMac system. Another possibility is to boot from that and clone it to the new Mini. Does anyone think this is a better idea?
    Thanks again for the insights of your experience.

    I think the issue is that if you install iMovie 06 on a system with iMovie 09 installed, iMovie 6 has no knowledge that iMovie 09 exists. Therefore iMovie 6 installs itself in the iMovie folder in the Applications Folder and assumes anything in there is old and can be trashed.
    Apple fixed this with iMovie 6.04, but this is no longer available.
    But if you install iMovie 6 first, and iMovie 9 second, iMovie 9 knows about iMovie 6 and will move it to a folder called "iMovie - Previous Versions".
    In your case, I would uninstall iMovie 09 as you started to do, then run the migration assistant, then reinstall iMovie 09.
    It should also work to create a folder on your old system called "iMovie - Previous Versions". Drag the iMovie 6 app into this folder and verify that it works. Then do the Migration Assistant. This should work, but I hesitate to recommend it because I have not tested it. Best case, it installs and you did not even have to uninstall iMovie 09. Worst case, delete the iMovie folder and reinstall iMovie 09.
    For what its worth, I recently did a Migration Assistant from a SuperDuper clone (after a failed hard disk) that had both iMovie 09 and iMovie 6 installed, and it worked fine. But I have not tried your scenario.
    I would use Migration Assistant because then you have the correct version of Snow Leopard for your system. You may not if you use a clone. A new machine may have microcode that is not released to the general release of OSX for several months. If your Mini is a used one and at least 6 months old, a clone should work OK.

  • Transfer individual apps from Snow Leopard to clean installed Mountain Lion

    I had a Snow Leopard on Macbook Pro Early 2011.
    Took a backup (a clone with Carbon Copy Cloner) of the system and erased my volume to install an SSD and HDD combination, then did a fresh install of Mountain Lion from thumb drive , which I had prepared earlier from an App Store download.
    Now installing all applications manually to have it clean. Some apps, though, I cannot do clean install, either because I do not have the original install packs or do not want to lose all my personal data on them.
    iLife (Garage Band, iDVD, iPhoto, iMovie, iWeb, what else?)
    Mail
    iTunes
    HOw can I go around bringing these apps from my clone into the new ML ?
    I am aware of the option to pay for the iLife apps in the App Store.

    macjack's suggestion worked for the iLife apps.
    I just ignored the "expired certificate" warning of the Disc 2, "Application Installation Disc" and installed the bundle.
    Then without opening them, I went for "software update". Now the App Store allowed me to download the updates. Will take several hours. But I think they are the most up to date versions, so I won't have to pay.
    for mail, I followed the below instructions found here (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1422832)
    1) Go to users/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Mail
    2) Delete V2 folder and copy data you have in SL Mail folder
    3) Go to users/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Mail Downloads
    4) Copy data you have in SL Mail Downloads folder
    3) Go to users/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail/Data/Library/Preferences
    4) Delete com.apple.mail.plist and copy the same file you have in SL Preferences folder
    5) Open Mail

  • Virtual Desktop Apps and Snow Leopard Upgrade

    I'm currently running most recent version of Parallels Desktop and I'm concerned that when I upgrade to Snow Leopard I will lose the use of PD until Parallels' updates their software. Unfortunately, I need to use Windows OS for school! Not much on Parallels' website yet.
    I'm just wondering if I should wait to upgrade until parallels folks catch up?

    According to http://kb.parallels.com/en/6637
    Parallels Desktop 4:
    Parallels Desktop 4.0 is compatible with Snow Leopard and can be installed on Snow Leopard Host, please make sure you are using the latest available build 3844. You might, however, experience some minor issues. We will release fully compatible Parallels Desktop 4 build to be installed on Snow Leopard soon.
    We have following know issues with PD4 build 3844 and Mac OS X Snow Leopard:
    1. Host Snow Leopard.
    - QuickLook plugin crashes when trying to do preview on PVM bundle (crash invisible for user)
    - Updater download but fail to install PD4 updates (workaround – close autoupdater and run installer manually)
    - Mounter/Explorer fail to open PD4 disk images
    - iPhone client fail to connect
    - Taking snapshots very slow on host Snow Leopard
    - Opening a web link from Windows in Mac Safari using Shared Internet Applications feature results in appending garbage to the link
    - Snow Leopard 64bit host KP when connecting USB device
    Depending how important windows is to you it might be worth waiting.
