Thumbnail blank -- can view photo when I enlarge it

Hows it going...
I am having a problem in that the thumbnails of photos from a select 'album' are coming up as blank but when I click on them, I can view the photo.
I tried to replace them with the backup on my external hard-drive but Iphoto says that the photos can't be imported (file type not reconognized even though its a jpg).
Any thoughts? Thanks.
Scott

I searched prior posts and forcing Iphoto to reorganize the cache (thats prob not even the right way to say it) worked.
This is done by closing out of Iphoto. Then while holding down the alt/option button and the apple button, open Iphoto. A dialog box will come up.

  • LR 3.6 cannot view photos in film strip in Library mode.  Can view photos on Develop setting.

    On LR 3.6 I cannot view my photos on the film strip in the LIBRARY setting.  On DEVELOP I can view on photo at a time on the film strip (the rest of the photos are not viewable).  This is a new problem which has only occured on the last two imports. 

    Sounds like a corrupted preview cache.  Close LR and find the catalog on the hard drive.  Rename the lrdata folder (Windows) / file (Mac) - don't touch the lrcat catalog file.  Then open LR and see if the previews reappear.  If they do, select all in Grid view tonight when you go to bed and go to Library menu > Previews > Render Standard Sized Previews - it take a long time so it's worth running overnight.  If everything looks good in the morning, you can delete the lrdata folder (Windows) / file (Mac) that you renamed earlier.

  • What is the safest way to move iPhoto to external hard drive so i can view photos on my iMac and mAir?

    Whats the safest way to move all my photos (10 gig iphoto library) from my iMac to an xternal hard drive (64 gig thumb drive) so i can view them on my mAir?
    Is this recommended? I had help @ a 1:1 and moved my iTunes (500gigs) to a Seagate 1T portable drive so i would have access to my mAir, glad i did.

  • How do you share photos so other users on computer can view photos in a shared folder?

    I have a Apple 2 TB Time Capsule running on a 27" iMAC.
    I contacted Apple Phone Support to help instruct me last month on how to set up a shared folder so all users on this computer and people connected to my network iwthin the home can share family & vacation photos. Apple Support ran me through several steps to set this up although I can't seem to re-figure these steps out. Phone Support contract ended.
    I currently have a shared folder set up and gave all computer and network users read & write access to view folder. When I did this last month, I was able to set up one person who was successful in being able view and upload the photos to the shared folder. Trying to provide wife access to Shared Folder and have been unsuccessful in doing this.
    Can someone please attempt to provide instruction (step by step) on how to provide users access to a created Shared Folder. I have spent two evening attempting to figure this out with no success.
    Would greatly appreciate assistance.

  • Blank report viewer control when adding a parameter to rdlc report

    Hi guys,
    I am currently generating a rdlc report in Visual Studio 2010 and embedding it into an asp page using a reportviewer control. My dataset is based on entity framework. The report runs fine and returns plenty of data in the format I want.
    Whenever I add a parameter to the report the reportviewer control on my page is just blank.
    I'm setting the parameter "available values" from a field in the same dataset used to generate the report but even if I add an empty parameter with no available values the reportviewer control is still blank.
    This is the same in both Internet Explorer 8 and Firefox 5.
    Any ideas where I'm going wrong?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    please check your report viewer property and make sure the parameter prompts property is true in your code
    rvReportViewer.ShowParameterPrompts =
    True

  • How do I set up a shared folder so all user accounts can view photos?

    How do I set up a shared drive for iPhotos for multiple users of my iMac?

    For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
    What you mean by 'share'.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
    Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
    (You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
    In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
    However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

  • When accessing Trademe through Firefox I can't view photos of items for sale

    I can view photos of things for sale on Trademe through Internet Explorer, but can only read information through Firefox and cannot see any of the photos of things for sale

    Is it possible there is a search set in the Browser for the project with missing images? When I set 1 project to view only 5 starts, all my images will not appear as expected in the Browser since I have not ratings, but selecting the Folder level will display all of them. Check that.

  • Error when trying to view photos downloaded by memory card to printer..

    When I put my memory card from my camera in my printer I get the box that gives me options of what I want to do with the photos..When I choose view using Windows Live photo gallery I get:
    When I click on view pictures I get :
    pharmerbill

    Hopefully, I got the thread moved...In the past, if I had them in the wrong place, a monitor would move it to the correct forum...Instead of just griping about it being in the wrong place...SORRY...It's very confusing finding the proper location for your
    questions if you're a computer newby...I found this while doing a Firefox plugin check and wonder if maybe this is why Live Photo Gallery doesn't load to view photos when I put my SD card in either the slot in the front of the printer or in the front of my
    computer tower..(Altho I don't have Firefox nor Internet Explorer open when I put in the SD card:

  • Does anyone elses iphoto thumbnails show the wrong photos in album ?

    This is a relatively new problem i am having.... when i open an album and the zoom is over c.20% or you change the zoom the thumbnails show the wrong photo. when you open to edit, the correct photo opens. This is veeeerrrry annoying. can anyone shed any light on this ?

    Hi slipstream1,
    I don't know why that started happening for you.
    Try this:
    Close iPhoto
    Navigate to where you have the iPhoto Library on your hard drive
    Drag the three thumbnail files found loose in the root of the Library folder to the desktop
    Hold down the Command and Option keys while launching iPhoto until you get the rebuild window
    Choose the options to rebuild the thumbnails
    Hopefully this will fix it for you.

  • I'm now using iPhoto '11 (9.3.2), and none of the photos in my library will enlarge.  I can view them all as thumbprints, but when I click to enlarge just a black, blank space shows up.  Occasionally, one will enlarge for a second, then disappear.  Help!

    Just to clarify, I am not getting an "!" mark in a triangle, as I read others have experienced.  The screen is just blank except the grey flag in lefthand corner to flag the photo.

  • My photos will not keep the filter on when I enlarge them. When I show the thumbnails of them in the photos app, I can see the filters, but I can't when I enlarge them. (I have iOS 7). How can I fix this?

    When I open the Photos app, and I see all the thumbnails of the photos I have taken, I see the filters on the photos that should have filters. For some reason, when I enlarge a photo with a filter to full screen, the filter is removed. But when I go back to the thumbnails, the filter is restored. How can I fix this?

    I suggest either learning to use the iPhone or going back to a $15 phone if these are the most important features of a phone to you. Start here: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/

  • Can see thumbnails, but can't enlarge a photo

    Hi all,
    Installed iPhoto11 yesterday. So far, I'm having a few issues that I can't seem to be able to fix. One of them is when enlarging a photo. I can see the thumbnail, but can't enlarge it. This is not happening to all photos. All photos that were taken "portrait" and were modified in iLife09 are working. All originals, in landscape mode, are not. I get the Grey Library Icon when trying to enlarge.
    I've tried to delete my projects, albums, etc. but it didn't change the behaviours.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    Regards
    TD
