    iPhone Document Scan not Spotlight Searchable

    Just started to use my iPhone (15+) to scan documents (using the Scan Documents option in Files), save to iCloud and then open on my MacMini. It seemed to work really well. However, I have found that .pdf contents are not searchable by Spotlight when I do this. If I open Preview and then scan...

    MacBook Pinch to Zoom/Trackpad in preview bug

    Hi, I’ve noticed that when zooming in on a JPEG with the preview app using pinch to zoom on the trackpad the zooming is very glitchy and not smooth at all. Eventually it stops working completely. This doesn’t appear to be as big an issue during quick look but when the photo is opened in the...

    Highlight something on an image

    Honestly, am probably overthinking this. With Preview or another app on macOS, how do I merely highlight text or something on the image? I thought I could do something like this with Preview, no? Example, I want to email someone an image and simply highlight something on the image. PS: still...

    Hello Collective Wisdom, I've got a document, about 30 pages, unfortunately in TIFF format and each page a separate TIFF file. Would like to assemble into a single doc, in PDF. I can use Preview/File/Export to make PDF of each page, and then drag them together to a single PDF doc, but this seems...

    Opening photos from iMessage on macOS

    When opening photos from iMessage on macOS, it shows a preview, then I have to click "Open With Preview" in the window that shows. Is there a way to merely have it when I open the photo from iMessage it just opens in 'full', i.e. in Preview? So many clicks. Clearly am doing something wrong...

    File image (icons) won’t show preview. Only generic image.

    Mac OS Monterey 12.0.1. Up to date. Any new file I create won’t have a file image preview. Or once I open a file the computer then turns that files preview into a generic image. Highly frustrating as my job relies on going through hundreds of files a day and no image destroys workflow. Any...

    Mac Preview bug - converting multi-page TIFF to PDF creates multiple 1st pages

    I'm pretty certain this wasn't happening before I recently upgraded to Monterey, but if you take a multi-page TIFF file and export it to PDF, the resulting PDF repeats the first page and only the first page multiple times (same number of pages as the original document, but repeats the 1st page)...

    Monterey breaks printing?

    Printing suddenly broke for me on upgrading to Monterey. Anyone else seeing this? --- PDFs that previously printed fine no longer print - they give a postscript error. Big Sur also introduced postscript problems - which I think were resolved with updates. I use a true postscript printer so...

    How to show content thumbnails for *folders* in Finder; any Finder alternative that can do that?

    I used to be able to highlight texts on pdfs on Preview on my Macbook Air just fine, but since the software update to macOS Catalina months ago, parts of my highlights disappear randomly from my saved documents. Last month I found out by chance that if I pressed "save" repeatedly, more...

    I've updated my Mac to Big Sur. But when I open a web page using Safari, I now get a grey (no graphics) pop-up preview page which I have to close to get the the full version of the web page. I know this maybe a safety feature but it's a little annoying for me. Is there a way to turn off this...

    Preview STILL Does Not Show 100%-Scale Images Correctly??

    Apple has had Retina display Macs since... 2013??... and they STILL haven't fixed the Preview app's failure to show 100%-scaled images as 1 pixel per one pixel. It shows them blown up somewhat. Yes, I have checked the setting in Preview's preferences, and NO, it has no effect. It defeats the...

    iPhone Mail inbox preview shows text not in email.

    Been curious about this odd little quirk. When looking at my inbox in the mail app, each email has a short preview of its contents. But for certain emails the preview contains text that’s nowhere in the body of the email itself. It’s not totally random text, however, because it usually deals...
