Photo Icons on only some icons?

How come some of my photos show the actual picture on its icon, and others show the "JPEG" picture icon?
I dont remember, but I think the ones with the actual picture are photos I didnt edited once off my camera, while the ones with no photo icon are the ones I have edited.
Is there a way to revert it, or a program that makes the Jpeg photo's icon the actual picture?
The reason I want it that way is because I can make the Icon size the largest, and view the photo without having to open every single file; its quicker.
thanks.

nevermind, i just found the option to "show icon preview"

When I start facebook, sometimes it loads ok. But, since v29, it often loads with no photo images or only some photo images shown..just empty boxes.

Facebook loads ok as far as text is concerned. But, it often loads without any of the photo images visible. Sometimes it loads with a few of the images visible. When the images are missing there are just empty boxes where the photos should be. I never had this problem until updating to the latest firefox v29. If you guys can't fix this problem, is there any way to revert back to an earlier version of firefox? tht version worked just fine.

If images are missing then check that you do not block images from some domains.
*Press the F10 key or tap the Alt key to bring up the hidden Menu bar.
Check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
Check "Tools > Page Info > Media" for blocked images
*Select the first image link and use the cursor Down key to scroll through the list.
*If an image in the list is grayed and "Block Images from..." has a checkmark then remove this checkmark to unblock images from this domain.
Make sure that you do not block (third-party) images, the permissions.default.image pref on the about:config page should be 1.
Make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings.
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own colors.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Colors : [X] "Allow pages to choose their own colors, instead of my selections above"
Note that these settings affect background images.

There are extensions like Adblock Plus (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images and other content.

How do you transfer photo albums to the computer? When I hook to USB, it only shows photos from the camera icon, not the photos icon. I am trying to save pictures for the in-laws from their ipad.

I have no clue that you mean by it only shows photos from the camera icon. It has to show the photos in the camera roll of the photos app since those are the only photos that you can import via the USB cable.
There are other ways of transferring photos to a computer, but they involve using third party apps. There are WiFi transfer apps that will do this. DropBox will also let you upload photos to a public folder and then download them to a computer.

Why do only some photos appear in iCloud folder on my PC and not all taken on iPhone appear on iPad either? All settings seem correct and new photos now seem to be appearing on all devices, but not all older or recent photos

Why do only some photos appear in iCloud folder on my PC and not all taken on iPhone appear on iPad either? All settings seem correct and new photos now seem to be appearing on all devices, but not all older or recent photos, even if taken at same time. All advice greatly appreciated.

First, to access documents you must use an app designed for that specific Document type. So Pages will not be able to open PDFs. The Documents app by Readdle can handle PDFs though. In the latter case, you'd open the app, click the menu icon at its top left, and click Open to go to your iCloud Drive. With Pages, if you had files outside the main Pages folder, click + then iCloud and navigate to the file's location.

Photo Icons now have White Border in Finder...

My Photo Icons in the Finder, suddenly all have White Borders. What has changed? Something in an update? How do I turn this white border off? It's made all the pictures in the icons smaller. If this was supposed to be an improvement, it should really have been optional.

Umparrothead, How was it that it worked for years (no borders) with or without a custom thumbnail, unless the custom thumbnails have all suddenly disappeared?
Looking through my many folders of pictures, yes, some have the borderless, custom thumbnails, but very few. Basically anything produced with Photoshop (that I'm sure creates a custom thumbnail).
I'm thinking that the 'image preview' method you describe, had in the past, drawn the thumbnail without the white border, and some software update has changed things?
I only know that I have never seen these white borders till very lately, and I have thousands of images on my Mac.
And you're right, I'd hate to go through all my images to create custom thumbnails, resetting dates etc.
There must be a way to tell OSX to display the thumbnail of an image file (that does not already have a custom thumbnail) without the white border?

Photos icon showing 1 new photo but nothing there!

The new 'Photos' icon shows a new photo but nothing new is there. Is this just a glitch with the 2015 app or should the desktop icon be showing a '1' with the Photos icon?

I am having the same problem mentioned here. I see there is no response to your posting. Have you figured out what is going on yet?
I looked through all my account settings and my email rules. I found a rule that may have been the cause of some of the problem but not all of it. This morning "Mail" indicated it was downloading 17 messages from my POP account but only 4 were in my inbox. The missing 13 are gone for good (into the bit bucket I guess). I know that I am not getting mail from a specific correspondent whose email address is in my address book. I'm at a loss.

I've got HPePrint App on my ipad, when I touch the photos icon the App closes, HP can't help, has anyone got an ideas for a solution?

Yes, you should get an email if somebody replies to a thread you started or one to which you posted. I did; that's how I knew you had replied. Check up at the top of the right column of this thread. In the "Actions" box you should find "Stop email notifications" if you are subscribed to this thread.
One step you didn't list among HP's suggestions is a compound action: delete the app, reset the iPad (by holding down the home and start buttons together for ten seconds), then reinstall the app and test it. If it still falls over, I would say the HP app has not kept up with iOS changes and needs updating -- OR your iPad has developed some persistent internal corruption in its photo storage that only the HP app trips over (in which case, the app still needs updating, but it's going to be much harder for HP to determine how).

IPhone iOS 8: Tapping on photo icon in messages app causes app to crash

Issue (?ios 8 bug?): Tapping on photo icon in messages app causes app to crash. Present in ios 8.0, and also still in ios 8.0.2. iPhone 6+ 64GB.
I just wondered if anyone else has been having this problem.
Initially it worked great. Tapping the photo button next to the text box in message should bring up a menu with your latest photos and other sharing options. However, after the first couple of days, tapping the button brought up the menu, the phone freezes, and then after a few seconds the photo app crashes.
Deleting most of my photos restored the function, but after another couple of days (and some more photos) it started happening again so I think perhaps it is related to the number of photos. After about 5-10 photos it loads the menu very slowly and its quite buggy. After 20+ photos it wont load the menu at all without freezing and the app crashing.
My iphone 6+ was set up as a new phone (not restored from back-up).
I hope this is some kind of bug that will be fixed in ios 8.0.3, but wondered if anyone else has the same problem or has any solutions?
My workaround at the moment is just to go the photos app and either copy and paste the photo into a message, or share the photo via the photos app.

I have this same issue with my 128 gb 6 plus. I've tried restoring as new on a few occasions, but to no avail. I did notice while my pc was synchronizing my apps, that the feature worked fine a few times until the synchronization was complete. I seriously hope that the numbers of photos limits one's use of the feature, because i purchased the 128 gb 6 plus so that i could keep photos at my ready.
Has anyone heard of a solution yet?

I can no longer view my photos through th photo icon. There is not an icon on my "slide to unlock" screen that when touched starts a slide show of my photos. How do I turn that off so I can access my photos as before?

Oroilore-
I do not see a way to disable the Picture Frame icon. I looked at Settings-Picture Frame, but none of the options turns it off. The only way I can thinik of, would be if all of your photos had been deleted. If there were no photos, you couldn't have a slide show!
One thing to try is to reset (reboot) your iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes. Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

I still don't totally understand the difference on my iPhone between PhotoStream (with iCloud icon), Photos (the icon) and Albums and Camera Roll (under Photos icon) and and Camera Roll (under Camera icon). I want to delete photos from my iPhone 4.

I don’t understand the difference on my iPhone between PhotoStream (with iCloud icon), Photos (the icon) and Albums and Camera Roll (under Photos icon) and and Camera Roll (under Camera icon). They seem to be more or less the same thing, but deleting photos in one place does not delete them elsewhere.
When I tried to import from my camera to my iMac computer the computer would not recognized 900 of the 920 photos on the camera so I had to (successfully) use the Image Capture application to import them.
I want to delete photos from my iPhone 4 in order to free up storage (I only have 8GB.) But in synching I do not want to delete any images from my iPhoto on my computer.
Is there a way that I can Delete All under Edit in either Photos or Camera on my iPhone and check about 20 ijmages to remain on the iPhone? I could find no command to Select All and then uncheck the 20 photos I want to keep.
I have the 8GB iPhone and the iMac with OS 10.9.2 and iPhoto '09 Version 8.1.2.
Help!

I have Version 6.1.3 because the clogged storage will not allow me to upload Version 7.1. Catch 22. This is basically a storage issue, I believe. I cannot delete enough stuff on my iPhone to allow me to either back up or upload the new OS 7. I am unwilling to pay for more storage in iCloud, so I want to delete stuff I don't need. But I haven't yet figured out how to successfully do that. I synch my phone and computer. I want to delete mail on the Mail app and photos and still keep my photos on my computer on iPhoto, but not on my phone. I seem unable to do that. Any advice?

ITunes or iPhoto do not appear when I click the music or photo icons

I wish to add music & photos to my production in iMovie. But when I click the music or photo icons, iTunes and iPhotoe do not appear in the boxes that open. I can have them open in another window and drag them in, but this is not what is supposed to happen, what can I do ?

Do you mean you have checked the box: "Always use private browsing mode"? If so, it's intentional that the private browsing icon isn't displayed as we didn't want Firefox to be showing everyone within view that you're using private browsing mode IIRC.
There are some easy things you can do to confirm that you are in private browsing mode such as visiting a new website and then confirming it doesn't appear in the history window.

I deleted my Photos icon in pictures?

I backed up all of my photos to an external hard drive. I then deleted all of my photos on my Mac. I must have deleted the Photo's icon and cannot get iCloud photos up and running. How do I reinstall this? The reason that I did this was that I wanted to initiate iCloud storage without having to upgrade the amount of storage that I needed. I was thinking that I would store all of my photos on backup and then bring only the ones that I wanted back onto Mac to stay under the 20g storage limit.
I am currently bringing all of the contents from my photos folder from a backup from Time Machine that occurred yesterday. I am hoping that this is all that is needed to be done. Any suggestions?
P.S. I tried just bringing the "Photos" icon from my HD back up into Pictures on my Mac and that did not work.
Thanks.

All, I have apparently resolved this after performing the backup of all of my picture files from my Time Machine backup. The Photos program is currently "repairing."

TS4022 why when i log in to my icloud account is there not the photo icon?

Hi,
Right I'm fairly new to this and a bit behind on current technology.
In simple terms is Icloud a website that i can log on to on any computer? And if i do will i find all of my photos and phone information on my account?
If so, when i log on to my icloud account there are only four icons avaliable to me. 1. Contact, 2.Mail, 3.Find my iphone and 4.I works.
Why isnt the photo icon avaliable so i can click on it and see all of my photos?
Sorry that this is probably a basic question.
Cheers
Lau's

The link shown in your image is to the Service Plan page for the Connect account (which most likely shows as a white page or throws an error). The server URL you listed above is active and working, but you may just need to log into the server, and then select the desired meeting room. Meeting room URLs should have something after your server URL, for example: meet18787284.adobeconnect.com/myroom
I've also edited out your email, as this is a public forum, and we don't want your information to get misused.

How do I get the Photo icon back to my home screen?

How do I get the Photo icon back to my home screen? I don't know how I managed this - but my lovely 'happy' photo icon is gone from my home screen and I can only access it through the double click - I would like it back on the home screen...any ideas???

You looked on every page & in every folder(if you have folders)? Still don't see it? If so: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout...see if you see it now.

Photo icons and the inbox- Mountain Lion

Hi I just upgraded to Mountain Lion and am liking some of these features a lot. One thing I am wondering about: do I have to attach a photo/icon to an actual contact to be able to get the associated photo with incoming mail? In other words, do I have to have a contact set up to choose a photo associated with a particular sender? I receive a lot of incoming mail that I don't need to have contacts established for but would like to see an icon/photo pop up on the left with the mail.
Anyone?
P

Yes, you would need to have the sender in your collection of contacts, and you would need to assign some image to that contact. If you are the visual type, it's a great feature. It may take some time to set up, but it can be a fast way to scan through your mail, other than doing a "search". I use the contact image feature all the time. I made a folder of images in my picture file to use in addition to those Apple gives you. For most companies, you can do a Google image search and find their logo, which will usually fit perfectly in the image frame used in your contacts. (You're not taking their logo for profit; you're using it to identify the messages they send you.) Or find other gifs and jpegs through the same image search to give a more personal touch to your contacts. Find an image that identifies a hobby, a job related tool, or whatever reminds you of that contact. Use the same image over again for contacts that are related in some respect-- online shops, accounts, co-workers on a project, etc. It's probably not something everyone is going to take the time to customize, but as I said, if you are visual, it's worth the time. By the way, the images don't suddenly appear in your mail as soon as you assign them to a contact. Set up your contacts and images, close your mail app, and then re-open it. There they are. If you have a contact that has multiple addresses they send from, just copy and paste those extra addresses to the same contact page. Set up the ones you tend to save the most. Don't bother with the ones you consider junk mail. You probably don't want them in your contacts. As you receive other mail from senders that you do care about saving, add those to your contacts and assign some image.
