Can't view NEF thumbnails or pictures

Hi everyone =)
I am using Adobe Photoshop CS6 version 13.0.6 with Camera Raw 8.8.0.397 and Adobe Bridge CS6 version 5.0.2.4 all on OS X Yosemite 10.10.2.
My NEF files (thumbnails & picture) taken with my Nikon D5300 and stored on an external drive (where I can easily preview them outside of Bridge) won't load on Bridge.
I want to see them in Bridge to tag them with keywords!
Could you help me with this issue? What should I do?
Best,
Charly

Yes, I can see them (jpg and NEF) in Finder.
I have my pictures organized in folders by year ("2013", "2014", "2015") and then in subfolders by country, and then in sub sub folders by day or event. Which folders do I need to purge? I did my general pictures folder (that contains the "year" folders) and I did the individual "year" folders too. I didn't do the country and day folders because that would be a ridiculous amount of work.
I did what you suggested but it didn't change anything:
- I can see the jpg files from previous years that I've always seen in Bridge and never had a problem with so far.
- But I can't see the NEF files or jpg files (recent files) I've converted from NEF to jpg. Even after purging the cache.
Is it because all of my pictures sit in an external drive?
Any other suggestions?

I can't view NEF thumbnails in elements 11

Long time Photoshop user, now CS6, trying Elements. All Adobe programs are up to date. How do I view the NEF files in Elements 11 or the Organizer? The thumbnails are there but blank. They do process into Elements fine, but I can't see any picture in the thumbnails. I have searched the web for an answer. Thanks for any help.

On Windows try pressing Ctrl+A (to select all) and then refresh again (Edit >> Update Thumbnails for selected items). If that makes no difference you may need to regenerate the cache.
Help >> System info to find the path to your catalog.
1. Close Organizer.
2. Navigate to C: ProgramData/Adobe/Elements Organizer/Catalogs/My Catalog
3. Find the file - thumb.5.cache
4. Highlight the file and delete it.
5. Re-start Elements Organizer
6. Wait until all thumbnails have been generated.
N.B. ProgramData may be a hidden system file - see link below on how to reveal hidden files:
You could also edit your NEF’s from Bridge CS6. Right-click a thumbnail in Bridge and choose Open With >> Adobe Photoshop Elements.

View NEF thumbnails taken with Nikon D600 on my iMac without buying Aperture?

How on Earth can I view NEF/RAW thumbnails taken with Nikon D600 without buying Aperture. My others cameras work fine, I can vuew both my JPEG and NEF now no such luck.

Understand the issue now and came across this thread which I accept may not solve your problem:Apple Raw update brings support for 11 cameras, including D600 and RX100: Digital Photography Review
Although I could open images (D300) in Finder/Preview my issue was I could'nt seem to be able to scroll through the folder so got into the habit of using View NX2. Although that has an email option it does'nt seem to want to email Nefs' due I imagine to file size though I think there are email 'handlers' that will accomodate such file sizes.
According to this thread, Raw support for the D600 is available via the Apps Store but no app info was mentioned: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4355881?start=0&tstart=0
All else failing, I defer to Shootist's comments which seem to concur with those in the last thread mentioned.
Also came across this thread:http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-57539833-37/apple-adds-raw-support-for-nikon-d 600-other-photokina-models/
Sorry I have not been able to have been of much help

HT201077 I accidentally grabed my My Photo Stream from My Pictures & transfered it to a FOB. Now I can't view any of the pictures from my phone & I cant up load any. How do I fix this?

I accidentally grabed my My Photo Stream from My Pictures & transfered it to a FOB. I put it back as soon as I realized. Now I can't view any of the pictures from my phone & I cant up load any. How do I fix this?

Thanks, Eric. I'm not sure what I should be checking using your suggestion--as I said, I'm an utter novice with the iMac. However, I saw a reference to problems with the Library entries, so I checked mine and the iWork files were missing, something confirmed when I checked the crash log. In desperation, I did another software update, and that seems to have fixed the problem completely. Now wondering if I dare upgrade to Lion!

Updated my iPhoto 7 and can't view any of my pictures

I updated my iPhoto 7 and now I can't view any of my thumbnails or pictures.

Kellie:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Do you have a backup copy of your iPhoto 6 library folder? Also do you get an "!" in the window when you try to view the photo in the edit mode? If you do then iPHoto has lost the link to the files. Try rebuilding the library as follows: launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
If that doesn't resurrect the library you'll have to start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from the old library as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Open the library package like this.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

New Nikon D3100... Can't view NEF files in Bridge?!

Hi guys,
I have just purchased a Nikon D3100, taken some snaps and tried to view them using Adobe Bridge.
Unfortunately I only get the NEF icon and when I try to open in Photoshop the file is not recognised.
I have attempted to follow numerous discussions and help topics to be able to view my photos but none have seemed to have worked and now Im sure I have files/folders in the wrong place or deleted!!! It is incredibly fustrating!!!
I am an amateur running CS4 and would really appreciate if someone could help me view my photos?
Jim

I believe your camera was released after Photoshop CS5, which means you will need that version of Photoshop for direct support of your raw files. However, if you download the current version of the DNG converter you can convert your NEF to DNG files. Then you will be able to open the raw image data with your version of Photoshop/ACR.

Help, I can't view my thumbnails

Hi, I am operating iphoto 6.06 on my 2006 imac. Somehow I must have hit a button but I can't seem to view my photo library in a thumbnail grid anymore. Each photo shows up individually on the screen and they are a large size(as if you have double clicked the thumbnail). It's such a pain to scroll through my library this way. Does anyone know how I can revert my library back to viewing several photos at once? Thanks for your info:-)

Hello...I have the same problem but the sizer did not help me....when i first opened the iphoto it asked me to rebuild the library...i did. Now i can see each image individually but my thumbnails are blank. Can you please help me out??
Thanks.

I can't view video thumbnails for Quicktime Movies?

I noticed on my Macbook that when I mouse over a Quicktime video file, a play icon appears and I can play the video directly from the thumbnail without having to open up Quicktime Player. This works both on the desktop and in Finder. On my iMac, this is not possible. I've looked through the view options, and I have show icon preview selected. Any suggestions for how to fix this?

Fixed it! Turned out I just needed to enlarge the icon size in view options. If the icons are too small, then playing thumbnail videos is not possible.

Can't view image thumbnails...

However, only for one site.
http://orz.4chan.org/wg/imgboard.html
i can't see any of the image thumbnails, and only this weekend has it started happening. I haven't updated firefox, i haven't changed the theme, I haven't marked the website no images shown or anything, it just randomly started a few days ago. I can see it fine in safari.
Any ideas?

First the prefs are located in Users/Yourusername/Library/Preferences/. I don't use firefox so don't know exactly what the file will be called. In that folder though, look for things with Firefox or Mozilla in the name. They may be in a folder within that folder.
A reinstall of Firefox will probably remove the program but leave your corrupt prefs behind.
Do other users on your Mac have the same issues?

Can't view email attachments containing pictures

When I click on the attachments that have pictures some are there others just have ? showing. What do I need to change in order to view all pictures?

First you need to know what format the images are like .jpg, .pict, etc., and then you should be able to tell what you need to view them.

I can't view my friends' profile pictures on Facebook newsfeed-- fb okay on IE

I used to be able to see my friends profile pictures when they posted on my news feed and now no longer can. I also cannot see a profile picture for myself. Fb works fine on Internet explorer so my privacy settings with fb are still the same. I believe that these are somehow being blocked on Firefox.

With Facebook on display, click on the [[site identity button]] and then on More Information. This will open up the page info dialog.
First select the Permissions panel, make sure that "Load Images" is set to allow (selecting Use Default should also work)
Next select the Media panel, then click on the first item in the list. Use the down arrow key to scroll through the list. If any item has the option "Block images from (domain name)" selected, de-select the option.
This should hopefully resolve your issue, but also see [[Images or animations do not show]].
Some add-ons can also block images, for example if you have AdBlock Plus installed, make sure that you have not accidentally created a filter to block the images.

Can't see NEF thumbnails in preview in import window - Nikon D90

Hi,
I am trying to import photos from my Nikon D90 using File/Import photos from device. When I check the preview option, I see jpegs, but not the NEFs/RAWs.
Any ideas why this would be?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Mike

Importing directly from a camera has some extra quirks. What happens when you use a card reader?
Does your OS show previews in Finder/Explorer?
