[QUOTE="ixplorer, post: 941056, member: 54520"] Ok I have just fixed this problem... it took about 30 mins... its easy and I needed no Apple DVD's. First step... Restart your Mac... hold down Shift ... till i say let it go... your mac will boot slowly into a BLUE screen... let go of shift... and it will go into SAFE BOOT... log into your normal profile. Step Two Run Disk Utils... Select your HD... and on the left "Repair Permissions" Go get a coffee... it will take a while. Once Completed... Step Three Select Repair Disk on the RHS... or if it is not lit up to be selected... Check Disk. Get another Coffee... it will also take a while... Reboot your Mac into Normal boot... test if Preview or Font Book work... for me they did not work... and I had to do the next step... Step Four Reboot into SAFE BOOT again... this time run the Preview App... and it will work in Safe Boot. Now Reboot into normal boot... your Apps will now work. [/QUOTE]
