Jun 19, 2014 7:50 AM in response to cnewbby Linc Davis,Back up all data.
Quit the application, if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Preview
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with a folder selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop.
The folder you're moving has a name that begins with "com." It is not the subfolder named "Data" or anything else.
Launch the problem application and test. If it works now, delete the folder you moved. Otherwise, quit again, and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place.
Caution: If you delete some or all of the contents of the selected folder, but leave the folder itself in place, the application may not launch. Deleting the folder will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.

User File Ownership - Reset see post by Linc Davis
You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type: ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.
