I have noticed that a number of people have reported problems here over the last year or so with getting preview to work. For many years I did not upgrade my system and it worked fine (I used exclusively dvi output)
Here is my current experience after moving to Mac OS X 10.8.1, with Emacs 24.2 (Mac Port), TL 2012 installed, and the latest version of auctex 11.86 I could fine. (which includes a patch related to the way gs is called). I am using the normal latex engine for dvi and pdflatex for pdf. (dvi output): works fine if previews are generated "for buffer", also when the file is part of a multi-file project. Does not work when previews are generated "for document": in that case a multipage dvi file is created will all images, one per page, but next step in processing fails. (pdf output): fails as above with "for document", a pdf file is created with one page per image, but next step seems to fail. Works "for buffer" but only for a single file document. If from a project with a master-file it fails, also when asking previews "for buffer", contrarily to the dvi output case. I did not try "previews for region", or "at point". Everything else in AUCTeX works fine as far as I can tell, including direct/reverse search with xdvi under XQuartz and Skim.app for pdf. I applied one or two advices found on the net, including one on AUCTeX's way of determining if source-specials or synctex should be used, because I use sometimes dvi with xdvi, sometimes pdf with Skim. (or pdf with Okular 0.10.5 on Fedora 13 distribution at my office) Just in passing I mention that to get xdvi (from TL2012/Mac Intel 64bits) to work when launched from Emacs.app I had to add a -unique option to the way it is called when the source-specials are *not* activated. Of course I will post logs of (more or less) minimal examples if asked.
