I am trying to establish new SDL Tridion UI 2012 functionality on some test (default) pages. I am continuously retrieve "The preview for this page is not up to date" alert despite the fact that I click on "Update preview" several time. I was using virtual image, so anyone else is not possible to edit page except myself. No matters which component changed. I have taken a look into cd_core.log file on "session preview" web service side and find these nodes interesting:
INFO WritableODataClaimProcessor - No session wrapper is installed, not allowing modification operations
DEBUG HandleSessionContentUtil - There are no session wrappers into storage config file!
DEBUG HandleSessionContentUtil - There are no session wrappers into storage config file!
DEBUG WebContext - setCurrentClaimStore: com.tridion.siteedit.preview.PreviewClaimStore@dc60af, thread: Thread-59
DEBUG WritableODataClaimProcessor - Removing sessionId claim from ClaimStore!
DEBUG ClaimStore - remove: uri=taf:claim:contentdelivery:webservice:preview:sessionid
DEBUG WebContext - setCurrentClaimStore: null, thread: Thread-59
The most interesting part is that session wrappers were added to cd_storage_conf.xml on "session preview" web service side. Bellow is part of "session preview" cd_storage_conf.xml:

I have check cd_storage_conf.xml validity state and everything is OK (try to open XML via IE and it is showed correctly).
When I republish the page (Finish Editing) everything is correct state after reload the page until the first change on any components is made. This unexpected state gave me such a strong pain and headache, furthermore create me a so nervous... :).
Here's what Update Preview does, make sure all the steps up to the actual page refresh work and are correctly configured and you should be good to do:
Typical issues (in my experience so far) are around Ambient Framework Configuration - Either the modules are not installed/configured on your application, or the cd_ambient_conf.xml contains invalid configuration settings.
Might be worth tracing the logs from step 1 to figure out where it's failing - knowing where it fails is usually 80% of the solution.
