Lightroom Import only shows gray boxes after Importing

Hello All,
I'm an long time LR user whom have come across a problem.  I run a HP DV6 Laptop with Core I7 and Windows 7.  While editing my photos my computer appeared to over heat (which is a recurring issue that I'm working to resolve) during mid-post production.  Upon restarting my computer, and when I accessed the same photos, I got a very lengthy loading icon when I clicked on a photo under the "Develop" tab.  This problem recurred and in attempt to resolve the problem I decided to delete the library and re-import the files.  Upon re-import, I cannot view all the photos in the library grid view.  Would some please help me with this?  Its very frustrating because I'm not sure if my files are now corrupt from the sudden crash or is it just a data issue with LR?  Please let me know! 
I've attached a screen shot of what the problem library looks like... 
Any help would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks!

That looks like a corrupt monitor profile, which you could test by temporarily assigning an sRGB profile to the monitor. Have a look at this post:

  • Edited photos in iOS show original photo after import or in iPhoto for MAC

    If I edit a photo using the Photos app (or one the filter integrated now with Photos app) and then import that photo to my Mac (both using iphoto or import) or PC (both using import or with cloud photo integration), and sometimes if i try to view the photo using another iOS app, the photo display the original, unedited version.
    the only way seems to duplicate the picture or to send it by mail.
    but when you have hundreds of pics, that is not a solution any more..
    and most of all i don't even want to import both the original and the edited version.
    i found this issue in an apple support page: below the link..
    but that page doesn't offer a solution one most of all it says that iphoto shouldn't have the issue...
    can you help me?
    thanks
    iOS: Edited photos show original photo after import or in other apps

    i verified..
    well, unfortunately these solutions are both not optimal..
    Shared Album:
    - you lose all the other informations (like location, date, etc..)
    - you lose quality
    - but at least is fast
    Sent by mail:
    - it keep full resolution
    - you still lose all other informations..
    - it is ok for a picture but not good for several..

  • I'm running windows 8 with PSE11 some of my pic don't display only a gray box with a paper in side,

    I'm running windows 8 with PSE 11 ans some of my pic don't display only a gray box with a paper in side it, when i go to a albums most of my pic don't display

      Try selecting the thumbnails (Shift+Click) or (Ctrl+A) to select all, then click on the top menu
    Edit à Update Thumbnail For Selected Items
    If that doesn’t work close Elements and delete the thumbnail cache by navigating to:
    C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\MyCatalog
    In side the MyCatalog folder (or whatever name you gave your catalog) you should find a CACHE file:
    thumb.5.cache
    After deleting that file restart the elements Organizer and wait whilst it regenerates thumbnails.
    N.B. The ProgramData folder is sometimes a system hidden file, in which case please follow these instructions before starting.

  • Only show certain fields after a date has passed

    How would I set a recordset to only show certain fields after
    a date has
    passed?
    For example:
    I have a list of classified adverts some which include an
    image which the
    client pays extra for. After a certain time period, say, 1
    year,
    would it be possible to use some kind of IF statement (or
    something) to no
    longer show the image?
    Thanks

    scrap that entire post man.
    I'll rewrite it here in a few.

  • Text shows gray boxes with letters and numbers?

    Instead of showing certain characters/ASCII, it instead shows gray boxes with 4 letters/numbers. I have the "allow pages to choose their own fonts" checked, but it is the same with it on and off.
    It was like this since I installed firefox, and fiddling with the font options did nothing. :/

    Those are Unicode codepoints. They're displayed when there's no font that can display the character in question.
    What are the websites where this happens?
    What are the codes in question? Please provide a screenshot.

  • Lightroom not importing photos.  Gray box appears.

    I was tethering to Lightroom and suddenly the program failed to import photos.  All that would come up was a gray box.  I tired everything.  I re-started the program, my computer, my camera.  2 days later, and I still cannot get an image to show up in Lightroom.  Any advice?

    Thanks Keith,
    I talked to a support person, and it turns out that my cache was the problem.  He re-named it and I am back in business.  Thank you for your help!

  • I took a picture using camera plus app and the photo shows up in my camera roll; however, when I tap to view it a gray box shown instead. I tried to download the image and only the gray box shows. Can anyone help me?

    I took a picture using camera plus app. The photo shows up in my camera roll as a thumbnail; however, when I tap to view the photo it comes up as a gray box. I tried downloading, emailing, and copying the picture, but it always saves as a gray box. Can anyone help me?

    Hi Giorgiovdb!
    Unfortunately I cannot help you; all I did was test for you.
    I did an upgrade over my Lion install with Mountain Lion which went fine. I just tested icon view in my Finder on different files and folders and here in my installation all stays fine; good readable like in column view!
    The only thing you might try is change your Font in Finder and set it back to the original afterwards!
    I quickly Google'd how to change fonts in the Finder as appearantly there's no obvious gui item for it:
    http://usermanifest.wordpress.com/2012/07/06/osx-finder-title-bar-font/
    Try to see if it brings you anywhere!
    At my post all fonts act normal after my upgrade to Mountain Lion; I don't do a clean install unless I really have to!
    Goodluck!

  • Albums not showing in library after import

    Just install iTunes 10.4.1.10 on Win XP (have same issue on Win 7) it auto added my music folder but its all messed up due to filenames etc so I deleted everything from library with the intention of manually importing everything.  Albums are not showing in library after going File -> Add Folder to Library...
    Any ideas?

    Note that Pause and Resume can be found in the right-click context menu of an item (toolbar drop-down list).
    Do you have the .part file or only the (final) file with a byte count of 0 bytes?
    If the .part file and doesn't have the expected file size (2 GB) is missing then you won't be able to resume this download anyway. You can check the temp folder as well.

  • Aperture 3.4.5 will not show NEF files after importing in OSx 3.8.5

    Hi this is driving me crazy.  I have quite a few NEF files from a Nikon E5000 that I would love to be able to process using Aperture but have run into a rather difficut situation.  When I import my images into Aperture I can see the preview of the files in the browser but can not get them to display after they have been imported.  I have tried importing localy through the internal hard drive on my IMac late 2007 as well as through an external NTFS formated USB backup of my files.  It also chokes on direct imprting from the CF card using a card reader.  In all cases they will sometimes display for a brief second both in the picture browser after importing or on the film strip view but will then disapear and display "unsupported image format" in its place.  I have reinstalled aperture and run both repair persissions through disk utility and the aperture repair utility that ships with aperture.  I have no problems with canon raw files or other file formats - jpg, tiff, png, photoshop, bmp.  Also NEF files will open in lightroom 5 and photoshop cs6 with out issue as well.
    Any help in restoring functionility would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks for the time and effort in advance.
    Que Too

    Nikon E5000
    Do you mean a NIkon CP 5000 (Coolpix 5000)? Aperture supports many raw formats, but not all, because the raw support  has to be camera specific. Not all NEF files are in the same format - all Nikon cameras will call their raw files NEF.
    For some cameras Aperture never included raw support. The currently supported cameras are listed here:
    http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
    It looks like your camera is not on this list, so if you want to shoot raw with that camera, develope the raw files using a different raw converter (Adobe's dng converter or the suftware that came with your camera) and import tiff or dng files to Aperture.
    Regards

  • The new tab button is now surrounded by a large gray box after downloading the new version

    Rather than seeing just the small rounded light gray button around the "+" sign for a new tab, there is now a larger, dark grey rectangle (larger than the new button itself) over the "+" sign. When I hover, the rounded part of the button appears, but the larger gray box remains.
    It's almost like I'd like to write a short {display: none !important}, but I'm new to Firebug, and can't figure out how to get the name of that part of the screen.
    I have a screen shot which I'd like to add to this post, but having difficulty adding it in.
    Thanks for your help.

    Hello,
    You can add screenshots to replies only. Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration first to see if that gets rid of it. You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    # Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options'' for Windows or ''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux.
    #In the Firefox Options (or Preferences) window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
    #In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    #Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    You can also see if the gray box appears in [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] - it could be caused by an extension.
    If those don't help, then please attach a screenshot by clicking the '''Browse...''' button below the ''Post your reply'' box. This will help us to visualize the problem.

  • Adobe Flash Player only shows black box on most websites.

    Adobe Flash Player 11.4.402.287 is only showing a black box but not loading or showing any buttons on some/most websites. I am running Mac OS X 10.7.5 and the problem exists on websites such as espn.com but works on others such as hulu and youtube. It exists on Google Chrome and Firefox.  I had some adblock and flash add-ons in Firefox, but I have the add-ons disabled. And the problem exists in both browsers.  It has been a problem for less than a month but I am not sure entirely how much longer.  I was outside of the US until recently, the problem may have corresponded with return but I am not sure. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Flash to no avail.
    Does anyone have any ideas? Much appreciated.

    I am facing the same issues as well. In particular, I can't play flash videos on www.blizzard.com as the video controls doesn't show up.
    YouTube and Facebook flash videos work fine.
    After deleting ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player and ~/Library/Caches/Adobe/Flash Player, the controls appeared.
    Perhaps you may want to try that?

  • Webcam shows gray box instead of image on a G455 using Ubuntu 10.10

    I upgraded from ubuntu 10.04 and my webcam started going in and out showing a gray box, I updated my xorg and now the gray box is always there. If I right click where the image is supposed to be I can see a fragment of the image but nothing more and I hear a low ringing sound. 
    I had a similar issue with my media players(gray box not the low ringing sound), I fixed that by changing the video codecs. 
    I don't know how to do that with a webcam that's built in.
    anyone know how to fix this or trouble shoot to be sure this is the actual problem?

    updating camera drivers may help you to solve the issue.

  • IMovie only show background music after connecting to my external iMovie Mediathek, no video!!! desperat, i potentially lost a big project...

    I work with an external iMovie-Mediathek so my big project don't mess up my macbook. I was working on a big project (45 min.) after the program crashed. Now, when I try to connect again to the external Mediathek, it will only show the background music I used, no video material at all... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But in the "events"-section, it looks normal with the preview just like always during the last couple of days... It even shows the size of the file with 146GB (which is correct), but still only the music is displayed (about 7 tracks).
    I need urgent help. Same thing happened to the security-backup I make regularly...
