OS X :: Won't Work With ODT / Broken In QuickLook On Main Account
Oct 27, 2008
I realized recently that ODT files (whether they're from NeoOffice or TextEdit) weren't working in QuickLook for me, but they're supposed to. I tried making a new temporary account on my MacBook (same computer) to test it, and while in that account, I can QuickLook any .odt. I should also note that .odt's in the Finder on my main account have a plain document icon, but when I'm in the temporary account they show the .odt icon. It's possible I accidentally recklessly deleted some file or something I shouldn't have when I was uninstalling NeoOffice or something, and if someone knew where the applicable file is supposed to be, I could copy it from the temp account to my main account.

In 10.5 to 10.5.5 was a nice workaround to use the arrow keys in quicklook full screen mode to navigate through files.
Go to fullscreen, switch the app via apple-tab, switch back to quicklook via apple-tab and you could use the arrow keys.
In 10.5.6 this is broken? Is there any other workaround to go through e.g. pictures in Quicklook fullscreen with the arrow keys?

Is there any way to use Quicklook from within Spotlight search results? I'd like to be able to do a Spotlight search and hit the space bar for a quick Quicklook look before actually launching the program.
I'm guessing this isn't possible, since hitting the space bar only inserts a space in the Spotlight search box, but thought I'd ask.

I been trying to quicklook files without extension that are plain text, like make files. I had found some really useful website likes this one (URL) but it seems I always need to declare a extension.
So I would like to know if someone knows how to quicklook text files without extension.

After updating to snow leopard my quicklook doesn't work anymore. Whenever i select a file and hit space the quicklook ui pops up but it doesn't actually show any content so I'm just stuck with a grey box.
I've been looking on the web the last week but can't find anything.

Has anyone had any luck getting this quicklook plugin to work under snow leopard?
(URL)
The same author made one for zip files and it works fine. Just can't get this one to do anything.

I've upgraded two computers to Snow Leopard and the one issue I'm having is .doc files, .xls files, and PDF files, the icon does not show the file when in column view. When I'm in icon view, cover flow, or even on the desktop, I can see the the thumbnails of the file just fine, but in column view, it does not work. This did work in Leopard. I should point out that the bug does not happen for movie files in column view, just mainly .doc files.
I've tried restarting, and this is happening on a Mac Pro early 2008 and on a MacBook Pro, early 2008.

I am currently working with very large files(mostly HD video. 3GB and more). When selecting a file, the finder try's to preview it and freezes. This means that every time I select a file, I have to wait several minutes until the file is cashed and I can continu working.
Can I prevent the finder from previewing large files?

is it possible to set "loop" movies & audio files in quicklook so that you don't need to press play again all the time? is there anywhere a setting or "workaround" (aka "break" into some pref-file and set the preference somewhere to "loop")

Does anyone have any idea why Finder's Quicklook can't zoom into Word documents like it does with PDFs? And it can't preview .docx files? It's kinda irritating...

I've been getting kernel panics for a while nowand I did not install any new hardware or apps, so I decided to create a new account and I've been going strong for a week without any panics. I then decided to log back into my main account and after 2 days I got a panic. I always just use Safari 5 web this happens. I did not install any plugins prior to all these panics

My main account is unable to log in any longer. The message says "You are unable to log in to the user account "username' at this time. Logging in to the account failed because an error occurred."
I was able to create another admin account to at least start the iMac. I had upgraded to Yosemite but I restored back to 10.9 - still no luck. I found a thread to attempt to repair the sparse file - running legacy file vault (which sounds like a mistake). double clicking the sparse file does not open disk utility.

iMac (24-inch Mid 2007), OS X Yosemite (10.10)

I want to turn on parental controls on the main account. But yeah, OS X wants me to make an extra account. I'm only asking because I want to have all my files on that account while using Parental controls. If not i'll just make another account

I've run into a nasty problem in that my main user account is no longer visible at the login screen, only the guest user account. Basically there is no way I can figure out to get back into my Air other than the safe Safari guest account.
I'm in desperate need for a solution as I need to access files for a conference call in 3 hours.

How do I set up mailbox so that all incoming emails from my secondary gmail account bypass my inbox and go directly to a pre-labeled smart folder? Also, how do I send copies of these to my primary gmail account into a pre-labeled folder in that account; once again bypassing my inbox (primary reason is that I do not want to get all my work emails into my inbox but I need to have them connected to mailbox at the end of the day.

I am about to acquire a dual 1ghz MDD powermac g4 and was thinking of turning it into my main work computer. I do graphic design and own licenses to both cs2 and cs3. I also have retail versions of tiger and leopard. My question is what combination would be reasonable with this machine and if its reasonable using hardware this old for print design. I am not pro or a demanding user, but I do a fair amount illustrator, photoshop, and indesign work.
File sizes almost always well under 100mb. Right now I am using a Macbook Pro and I am aware that its much faster than this Power Mac, but I really would appreciate something I can have multiple hds in. It has 1gb of ram, and a radeon 9600 video card. Its also the non firewire 800 version. (2002)

After installing the Safari update 7.0.4, Safari stopped working in my regular user account. It still works in my Admin account and in another regular user account. I reinstalled OSX Mavericks but that seems to have had no impact.
Instead of opening, the icon in the dock bounces for a long time, then it just stops. The menu bar never changes.
Another app -- Citrix Receiver -- also stopped working in this account, it opens but it cannot connect to the network; this app too does work in the other regular user account.

Uhh hard to fit the title, but in System Profiler - Sata device tree, normally you see <hard drive name> and underneath it <partition 1 (IE Macintosh HD)>, however since installing my SSD, everything shows <SSD NAME> and then the SSD partition but also shows hard drive partitions there?

Alright, this is possibly the strangest bug I've ever encountered on my mac. Right now, in my System Preferences, the Accounts pane won't load. Every other pane, including custom ones, works fine. But if I click on the Accounts pane, it chills there saying "Loading Accounts". If I click it again, it pulls up an empty pane. Also, under the Sharing pane, if I go to SMB sharing and click "configure accounts", nothing happens. I assumed it was permissions, but that didn't fix it. I did a full disk verification too, and that didn't help. The pref pane is there, I have read permission for everything, and the .nibs all open up in Interface Builder fine.

I have a mid-2007 Macbook Pro (A1226). I accidentally spilt soup on it, and now the "z, x, c" keys no longer work. The apple store said I need a keyboard replacement. However, do you think that if I take apart the keyboard and clean it with rubbing alcohol, it will fix it? Or if not rubbing alcohol, what kind of solution could I use?

I have found a few posts saying you can edit the plist of the application you want to associate this with and it should just work. However I cannot get it to work. I use Smultron to open NFO files as they are text based but I cannot use QuickLook for NFO files.

I'm aware that there are extensions for Quicklook and have a few installed, but they're not so useful to me because the default apps have their own icons that are being used instead of live icons. Is there any way to suppress this behavior so I can view things like my ASP or shell scripts instead of a useless doc icon from Adobe (or textmate, etc)?
