My Preview App no longer will open. Where did it go?
Look in your Applications folder.

Obviously the Dock lost the link to the actual app in the Applications folder. Remove it from the Dock and add it back from the Applications folder.
Try restarting
When I restarted the computer, it automatically fixed the problem. I had to turn it off altogether, in order to restart. Then I added the app back.
Thank you so very much!!
You never thought of restarting your Mac, always the first port of call should things not work as expected.
Thanks for your response-it is not the answer to my problem, however! 'Preview' is still in my dock, and in my Applications folder, BUT it is not responding-I cannot 'force quit' it, and my App folder says 'You can't open the application"Preview" because it is not responding.' I cannot drag the icon from my app folder, to replace the unresponsive one either. Help!!
You are absolutely right! I now have a sticky note on the desktop, reminding me to 'RESTART' First!! Thank you so much!
