Why does the "Space Preview" suck with Lion

Hey,
I loved it to view Pics and pdf`s and other files with the Preview when i hit Space. But with Lion, it won`t open the pdf`s and the pics take forever to load and won`t change when i want to flip through some pics.
That ***** big time and i am getting really stressed out about that.
I don`t want to open any program just to have a quick look at files. Thats what a preview is for, isn`t it???
I hope I´m not the only one who has this problem and I hope that Apple fixes it with the next update or maybe anyone else has an idea how to fix it.
Thank you in advance.

I can tell why Cmd-F blows; because Apple has figured out a better way of doing the same search.
Cmd-F used to be the preferred way to search for system files, but the searches can be inconsistent. Don't waste your time. Instead, use the key combination Cmd-Space to bring up Spotlight; this will bring up all of the relevant files, as well as web searches, and will even group the searches for your convenience.
Cmd-F is still a great tool if, say, you're using a browser like Safari; this will search a page and highlight pieces of text.

  • Why does the "find" feature suck in Lion?

    In Leopard, I'd type "apple f" and could find my files easily.   Now when I use "apple f" and type in a file name, dozens of files come up that have nothing to do with what I typed in.  Sometimes, even files that have the exact name won't show up at all!  Now I have to add parameters such as search by name or name "is" or "contains" to even get close to the file I'm looking for, but Leopard used to default to that, which of course made sense.  I know they added the apple space bar searching method in Lion but I can't use that when I'm trying to attach a file to an email and the results list is smaller.  I used to love how easy it was to find any file on my mac, now it's a chore.  Am I missing something?!

  • HT1212 why does the wifi not conect with mi i pod at my house

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? Since it does I suspect a problem with your network
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Why does the "sharpen" not save with the photos I apply it to?

    When I edit my photos, all of the edits stay but the sharpen. As soon as I switch over to library and/or export the photos, the shapen I did dissapears and only the other edits I did saved. Why does this happen? Am I doing something wrong? The sharpen stayed when i first got light room but now it doesnt. 

    What version of LR are you using? LR 5.0 has a bug because of which exported images which are downsized to less than 1/3 the original dimensions do not receive sharpening. It has been fixed in 5.2.

  • Why does the iPad not come with Stocks, Weather and Messages apps like iPhone?

    Just received my new 64gb iPad and curious about why Apple has left some of the key apps off the device like Stocks, Weather and Messages. Can these be added?
    All the iOS 5 demos I've seen were showing the new Notifications functionality with these apps being used as examples yet when I turned this amazing device on, none of these apps were there.
    Someone clue me in to what I might be missing here.
    Thanks,
    Steve

    After I posted my question, I saw many similar questions with the same answers. Thanks for the help. Seems strange to me to not include these great apps and I totally forgot about the Clock & Calculator...
    I wonder if iOS 5 might return add them to the iPad?
    Cheers,
    Steve

  • Why does the tasks not sync with outlook on the ipad

    No one seems to have a straight answer why tasks from outlook can't sync to the iPad or iPhone without using other apps which are garbage and don't work with no reply from support people namely imexchange 1 and 2

    Syncing Tasks is not supported. This has not been supported since day one nearly 4 years ago and no one here knows why. Syncing To Do's with iCal on a Mac is not supported either, which would likely be supported before syncing Tasks with Outlook.

  • Why does the AirPlay selection disappear with iTunes radio?

    Usually there is a selector icon next to the volume slider at the top of the iTunes window that lets you choose among speakers and airplay devices. Why does this icon disappear when an iTunes radio station starts playing? After doing some trial and error, the option only disappears for certain stations.

    I used iTunes open stream at http://kera-ice.streamguys.us/keraliveaacplus.m3u
    works fine

  • Why does the GPS not work with other programs?

    It works ok with Blackberry maps. But there are about 5 or 6 programs that I use that will not lock GPS. The one that really florred me was the camera. I sit there and sit there waiting for the gps to lock on (turn from red to white) and nothing happens. We all know that google maps doesnt work (it only will use cell towers. After the STORM disater you would have thought RIM would have been a bit more careful with thier OS's. Hope they get a fix out soon.

    Hi Barbara
    Thanks for the response.
    I updated to Mavericks (10.9.3) and the organizer now appears to work.
    However, it is extremely slow in previewing photos that were already on
    the Mac and does not appear to be able to download photos from a Canon
    5DIII. It appears to start but then spins and spins. It ran overnight
    and was unresponsive this morning.
    Do you have any ideas as to what to do to make this work?

  • Why does the 'publish preview' screen in flash cs5 show part of the animation and then turns blank?

    Hi I am creating frame by frame animation in photoshop.
    I am importing the photoshop files into flash using
    FILE > IMPORT > IMPORT TO STAGE
    I used to be able to preview or "line test" my animation easily by clicking on:
    FILE > PUBLISH PREVIEW > FLASH
    I could watch the animation loop and see where improvements are needed. Now, flash struggles a lot with the files, takes a long time to load the preview, when it finally does, it shows me maybe a third of the animation, turns blank, and acts as if all my frames are completely blank. I cannot later see them on my main work surface either.
    Does anyone know what is going on? I keep restarting flash but the same problem persists.
    Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions

    Hi,
    Thanks, that might be it, I will look at re-sizing.
    I'm working in a very round-about way, of creating the frame by frame animation in photoshop, importing it to flash for preview, exporting from flash as png sequence into after effects where I continue animating.
    So I will look at exporting the png sequence straight from photoshop - let's see how this goes
    Thanks,
    W.

  • Why does the Organizer not work with Elements 12 on my Mac?

    My wife has a Mac (OSX 10.6.8) and I recently bought her Elements 12. The organizer does not work on it? Is there any plan to have it work? I was told by a friend that support should be able to get it work for me.

  • Why does the Vision M come with old Creative Mediasource ,and not version

    I just got a Vision M player and was disappointed to find it came with the older version of Mediasource, I recently purchased and returned a Zen V 2 gb. player that came with version 5 software. I'm confused why the M only gets version 3.30.35 . I removed version 5 before I loaded the M software thinking I should to avoid conflict. Has anyone had any problems using version 5 with the new Vision M ? I should have copied the disc before I returned it,oh well. I've tried to update using the autoupdate with no luck I keep getting an error at 33% then windows asks to send and error report or de-bug. I've given up on the update site.Message Edited by Roadslayer on 09-26-2006 07:03 PM

    Zen Vision M was released earlier than Zen V. As such, it has the older version of MediaSource in the product CD.

  • Why does the screen "wash out" with the statement "Firefox is not responding" This happens at least once in each session.

    I am not sure what more details I can provide. Suddenly, the cursor for the mouse will freeze, the screen washes out. You can still see the underlying webpage faintly. After a few seconds, the problem corrects itself and Firefox resumes normal operation. This happens with the new Firefox 4 as well as the previous version.
    It is major annoyance.

    My situation got worse. FF 3.6.12 started doing that; then it just stopped loading. Since then, I have uninstalled & reinstalled, moved my profile to force it to make new one, set it so that it is not the default browser, installed in different drive on computer, cleaned out regedit, ran a spyware program, & nothing. It starts to load then hangs up almost immediately. This has been going on for about 3 days & I'm about ready to chunk it. Any ideas?

  • Why does the Mail App suck ?

    Why the **** doesn't this work !?
    I'm trying to manage my email through the default mail app in iOS. When I tried to delete more that 90 emails.
    The ******* app crashed. I tried it again, thought it was a fluke.
    SAME ******* THING HAPPENED AGAIN !
    So then I thought I'd close all my apps, restart my iPhone and maybe that help.
    Nope ! It was a ******* trick  ! Happened to me again.
    Then I tried to delete 50 emails. The app crashed again.....
    How ?!?!?!?
    Worst part was that I had to tediously pick EVERY SINGLE EMAIL ONE AT A TIME !
    Wasn't there a "select all" button in iOS at one time ? Where did it go ?!? Why isn't it there to begin with !?!?!?
