Why won't the new preview open single images?

I have been using preview to investigate screen shots I've been taking. The problem is preview is opening every single file I've viewed with it when I open it. I take a lot of screenshots.
How do I get image preview to open JUST the image I told it to open? How do I make it stop opening multiple images at once when I don't ask it to?

Have you been quitting (CMD + Q) the application when you're done looking at the images without closing each window?  I noticed this same behaviour and made it go away by closing windows prior to quitting Preview. Same goes for other applications such as Quicktime or Safari.
If you want to prevent this from happening in every app you can change it in the General Preferences in your System Preferences.

  • Why won't the new Photos app accept JPG files from my Kodak Easy Share like iPhoto did?

    Why won't Photos accept JPG files from my camera like IPhoto did?

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
    I would note there is a long-standing issue between Kodaks and some versions of OS X - the workaround for that is to use a USB Card reader.

  • Why won't the new Nectar Search toolbar install into Firefox 25?

    I have used the Nectar Search toolbar with Firefox since it was introduced with no problems at all. Nectar have recently introduced a new Search toolbar to replace the previous version, and although I have re-installed it 3 times on my PC, (Windows XP Pro) Firefox won't pick it up or recognise it.
    I have checked with Nectar and it is not their problem, especially as the new toolbar works perfectly on my same PC if I use Internet Explorer!
    Nectar assure me their toolbar IS compatible with Firefox 25.0.1 which is the one I am using.
    HELP!!

    I've sent them a copy of my post with a link to this thread. I expect that I will be told to clear my cache and browser history, and that sort of thing. Having worked in a software house, I have learnt never to expect a technically relevant reply from the help desk. However maybe they'll prove me wrong in this case. If I get a useful reply I'll post it here.

  • Why won't the new flash work, I get a blank screen?

    I have a Mac, OSX 10.6.8, and downloaded the new Flash.  My settings says:  plug-in version 11.1.102.55 is installed.  The challenge is - it does not work.  I simply get a blank grey screen.  I have followed all the directions.  I have uninstalled, and reinstalled - several times.   I don't know what else to do!  Can anyone help?  

    Hi,
    What page are you visiting?  Are you using Safari?  As a test, can you try downloading Chrome and see if that allows you to see Flash content?
    Thanks,

  • Why won't the responses file open when I receive a submitted form

    Hi all,  We have recently started to use Acrobat Pro X for editable pdfs.  When training was done (all work contained was created on our server) the responses file opened as it should when a submitted form was received.  Now trying to use these forms "live" the response file doesn't open.  The wording to double click the file and select the response file is in the body of the email of the submitted form but instead of the response file opening the form opens.  Anyone have any ideas??

    It does seem to be happening to all forms received.  We are using Adobe Acrobat X Pro to create the editable pdfs.
    When you ask "being used to save the forms?"  do you mean from the person submitting the form back to me?   If that is the case then Acrobat X also.

  • Why won't the new keynote allow me to center images?

  • Why won't the program fully open?

    I bought Adobe Premiere Elements 8 a while ago but have lacked a computer that could handle it properly. I recently bought a powerful laptop so I installed Premiere Elements 8 right away, hoping to edit some videos. Unfortunately for some reason it can't open fully. I will choose a name and destination to save the project but when I try to actually work with the program it freezes on me, not telling me what is wrong.
    I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling to the same result. What can I try?

    How much free, clean, freshly defragmented space is on your C drive? Brand new computers can be a mess of fragmentation and temp files. First, ensure you have at least 20-30 gigs of free space. Then run this free program to clean things off:
    http://www.iobit.com/advancedsystemcareper.html
    Then defragment your drive.
    Also, manually go to Windows Update and ensure you have even the non-critical updates. And go to Apple.com and ensure you have the latest version of Quicktime per the program's requirements.
    If it still won't open, please provide us more information about your computer including your operating system, your processor speed and your RAM load.

  • Why won't the App Store open?

    I have a 2 month old iPad "3". Updated last weekend to OS6. At first everything worked fine. Then 4 days ago began having problems with Safari not opening pages unless I did reload. Then App Store won't open. Then iTunes wouldn't open either. Just white screen with spinner. Then message, Cannot connect to iTunes Store (which it says for both iTunes store & the App store). Yesterday App Store worked for about an hour, then was gone again. Today, completely gone. I can access it just fine on my iPod touch! Checked all settings. Time setting on automatic only gives me the spinner thing. Don't know if that's relevant. But all others Okay. Network okay, internet connection okay. Did restart, synced to my computer, still no iTunes or App store. Using Opera mini browser instead of Safari. I can't get the in-app purchase I made yesterday on my iPod - it won't open in iPad - still gives me the demo version. How am I going to use the app on the iPad? Very disappointed & worried.
    Anybody know anything about this?? HELP!!!

    Yes I am = I am having the very same problem.
    I synced the mini with computer. Now I can search App Store but can't download. I tried to sign out of my account, which worked, and sign in to another account (read about this somewhere that it had helped), but now it won't sign into any account. Just say "cannot connect with iTunes Store".

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • Why won't the new flash player show up on my computer?

    Alright, so, about a week or two ago (around when the update came out) the flash on my computer stopped working, now browser-based is fine, but anything i tried to work with without internet no longer functions, So I've tried downloading this update atleast 4 different times, and each time, it downloads completely as far as i can tell, but it doesn't show up anywhere on my computer as well as the flash files still being un openable. any help?

    Oh right, i meant to include that information but i must've forgotten.
    1. I'm using Windows XP, 32 bit.
    2. I use the 32 bit version of a browser called Rockmelt, but like i said flash in my browser works fine.
    3. Currently i have no flash player, but i've attempted multiple times to install v11.2.202.228
    4. As I said, starting around the update, the flash player on my computer no longer runs or opens any flash objects or .swf files. I get no error message after installation is complete, but i can't use it.

  • Why won't the dmg file open automatically?

    When I went to download 4 (save file default) it would not automatically open. When I doubled clicked on it it said it did not recognize the disk image, therefore I could not download $.

  • I don't understand why recently with the new "pages" my computer stops responding. When I go to fix some grammar all of a sudden the little colored circle begins to appear and won't go away I restart my computer.

    If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Step 1
    Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time after  you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, while the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract.
    If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
    Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
    Step 2
    Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post any other kind of report — it will be very long and not helpful.

  • Why can't I resize a text box in the new Preview in Yosemite?

    I just upgraded to Yosemite, and I am having trouble with the new Preview.  I am a student and my notes are pdfs.  I have been using Preview to take notes on the pdfs for the past two years.  I have always been able to insert a text box, make it a certain size (resizing it using the text box function and dragging the corners/sides to fit the space in which I want to type), and type easily.  In the new Yosemite Preview, I can insert a text box, but I can only resize it horizontally (not diagonally or vertically), and when the text reaches the right edge of my box, it moves upwards instead of continuing the text downwards (the entire box shifts up so that my typing line is in the same position as where I started and the previous text is now above).  Is there any way to get around this?  I really don't want to purchase software just to be able to easily add text to a pdf.

    I find it annoying too. Also, when you want to add text, you always need to open the title bar and then to text box always goes in the middle of the document. The only way I found to get over that issue was to ask my friend to put Preview 7.0 on a USB key (he is still on Mavericks) and then I dragged it in my application folder. It works for some PDFs but not for all of them unfortunatelly...
