Blank thumbnails even after library repairing

Photos works flawlessly on my 2013 MacBook Pro but doesn't work on my 2009 iMac 27". All the thumbnails remain blank after multiple library repairing and restarting (app and computer). I used the Option + Command + App Launching to access the library repairing function. What else can I do?

carlaz:
If you rebuild does not work you might try moving the contents of the Data folder to the trash and the rebuild again with the first three options. That will force creation of new thumbnail files. Another way that will work when the normal rebuild does not is to use iPhoto LIbrary Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos. One user reported that with a library of about 5,000 images it took about 12 hours so plan ahead.
Yes, putting the library on an external HD with the ownership turned off is the best way to share a library.

Apple TV blank screen even after restore?

Can't see home screen or anything on Apple TV. Did restore on iTunes. It said successful but still no picture.

Howdy PWQuick,
If I understand correctly you are unable to see anything on your TV screen even after a restore of your Apple TV with iTunes. I would use the other troubleshooting steps to help find out what is at fault here:
Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Troubleshooting video issues
Your TV picture is completely black or has other quality issues such as static or blurry video
Confirm the settings and configuration of your television.
Check to verify that your TV's video input matches the HDMI connection.
Refer to the manufacturer's user guide for assistance with changing your TV input or picture mode.
Verify that your television meets the Apple TV minimum resolution requirements.
Verify that the Apple TV's power cable and the HDMI cables are securely connected.
When connecting to power, observe the front LED on your Apple TV for activity. If no light is visible, try a different power outlet or power strip.
Connect the Apple TV directly to your television, bypassing any home theater receivers, splitters, repeaters, or switches temporarily.
Inspect all cables for any kinks, tears, or other evidence of damage.
Verify that the HDMI cable being used with your Apple TV is a bidirectional cable. Although rare, single-direction HDMI cables do exist. If unsure, try flipping the connection between your Apple TV and television.
If all else fails, try a different HDMI cable.
Change the Apple TV resolution:
Press and hold the Menu and Up button on your Apple Remote for six seconds.
The Apple TV will automatically cycle to the next resolution at approximately 20 second intervals.
Press Play on the Apple Remote to keep the current resolution or Select to manually cycle to the next resolution.
Reboot your Apple TV by holding down the Menu and Down button on the Apple Remote for six seconds. Allow the Apple TV a few minutes to restart.
Note: If the Apple TV video functions correctly after bypassing a receiver, switch, or repeater, please refer to the accessory manufacturer's user guide for additional support.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

Blank thumbnails in photo library

I just switched to Verizon and was unable to use may backup from my ATT iphone because VZ is not running os 4.3 yet. So after syncing everything piecemeal including my 1700 photos, they keep showing up as blank thumbs. If I click a thumb it shows the pic but I can't use the thumbnail feature. I tried removing all the photos and only loading a couple and still no luck. The camera roll displays thumbs but not the imported photos from my mac. Appreciate any help.

If this was happing on your 3G and you upgraded your phone by restoring it from the backup of your 3G, it is also possible that your new phone may have inherited this problem from your old one (i.e., the problem may have been contained in the backup you restored from). I'm not sure what else to suggest you try on your computer and I'm not sure that's the problem. It may very well be something corrupt on your phone. The basic troubleshooting steps (in escalating order) are Reset, Restore, Restore as New. To reset your phone hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignoring the off slider that appears first), and release. To restore your phone follow this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414, backing up your phone at step 6, and restoring from that backup at the end of the process, followed by syncing with iTunes. If that fails you will have to save as much of your data as possible, and restore it as new by following this process again but at the end choosing to set it up as a new iPhone. If the problem persists after restoring as new you probably have a hardware problem and will have to have Apple take a look at it.

External hard drive won't mount, even after disk repair.

My Toshiba external hard drive won't mount on my MacBook Pro 10.8.5. I can see it in my disk repair, and when I repair, "the partition map appears to be ok." But I can't access the icon to be able to open the hard drive contents on my desktop. Help!

Hello maccynicwhoalwayshasmacs,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like trouble with an external HD mounting. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

IPhoto 9.4.1 not recognizing 5.0.4 library (even after library upgrader is installed)

After installing the iPhoto library upgrader on my iMac running Mountain Lion 10.8.2, I am still unable to get iPhoto to open the library from my Powerbook that is running iPhoto 5.0.4. When I option-click on iPhoto in the dock so I can select an existing library, I get the same window that tells me the library needs to be upgraded using the iPhoto library upgrader. My goal is to bring over all photos (while still retaining my album structure) from my old Powerbook to my new iMac. Any ideas?

Did you actually run the upgrader and notjust install it? It's installed into the Applications/Utilities folder.

HP ENVY m6 Notebook PC trackpad issue even after HP repair

2 weeks ago i sent my HP ENVY m6 Notebook to the HP Repair center because i was having major issues with the trackpad. It would not move fluidly,and click, and move on its own.
I received my laptop back today anticipating that everything would work perfectly but some of these same issues are still occuring. The touchpad and the cable that connects it were both replace and the laptop was wiped clean.
The toucpad will work for sometime then all of a sudden become glitchy. This is really effecting my usage of the computer. It is a huge inconvenience to pay for a laptop and have a major component malfunctioning. I'm currently using a wireless mouse again.
Since the hardware was replace is there a software problem. This sems to be occuring to so many people.
What is going on?

I have a acer laptop and itunes store won't load just has a blank screen even after doing updates how do i get it to work?

I have updated my laptop too on windows update just so you know but not sure what else to do ?

With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

Hp photosmart 6510 printing and photocopying blank pages even after putting in new ink cardridges

Hi there, can anyone help?
My photosmart 6510 has recently started printing and photocopying blank pages. The ink cardridges were low and I have replaced them with new ones. I have cleaned the printer head and the test comes out in colour.
I have no idea what to do other than buy a new one !
Any advice appreciated.

Hi @TG13,
I'd like to help. Please begin with the steps in the following document; Printer Prints a Blank Page or Does Not Print Black or Color Ink for the HP Deskjet Ink Advantage an... < this applies to the 6510, and 6515 too.
If you complete, or have already completed all of the steps in the document above and the issue continues, my own personal recommendation, not one of HPs, is to use the solution offered in the following video. I only suggest doing this if the printer is out of warranty; How to fix a HP Printer, not printing black ink and missing colours
Based on the comments, it looks like this will help

I tried most of the suggestions in this thread, but stopped short of disassembling the print head. Nothing worked until I saw the video referenced in Sunshyn2005's message. That did work, but not on my first try. For the second attempt, I left the wet paper towels in place for a couple of hours to really soak the print heads. That did the trick.
So, thank you Sunshyn2005, for pointing me to the solution. - Source
Although the printer might be out of warranty, if the issue persists, HP may be able to offer you something. Maybe they can offer you a discount on an alternate model. If you are in Canada or US call 800 474 6836, or you can Contact HP Worldwide.
If this resolves the issue, please let me know so we can help others who may be experiencing the same issue.

ITunes will not start even after permission repair, disk repair.....

Let me continue plst files, deleted old install and re-installed, downgraded version, ran disk warrior, tried new user account. Backed up everything re-installed fresh OS, still did not start, installed update plus latest version of iTunes. Still does not start. Called Apple support, did the usual permissions repair etc..... Ran Apple Hardware Test no problems found, TechTools Deluxe no problems, MemTest no problems.
On hold now waiting for Apple support again. I am assuming at this point there is a unknown hardware issue. Any ideas?

You really went the extra mile trying to pin down the culprit! So.... who was the culprit anyway? which hub? the keyboard acts as hub, was this powered or un-powered, too? which would be of interest.
Instead of hub, maybe a PCIe USB2 card?

Why does my mac keep ejecting my WB external even after I repaired it in the disk utility?

it also does this with my itouch and I have to keep reinstlling itunes just to synch my music.

By WB do you mean Western Digitial? If so there may be a problem with the HD, WD EHD's don't have a good track record with OS X. They are popular because they're cheap however the enclosures they use eventually cause problems with OS X.

Help: Just finished shooting a wedding and Aperture crashes constantly during editing. All pic's in RAW and even after making sure I have the latest Aperture update, I have had to rebuild my library twice and "repair" does not seem to fix the issue. Help?

Well!
If you have ThunderBolt, I would go with such for an External Working Drive, spinning platter or SSD depending on your budget
This does not have to be huge just big enough to house your most current Jobs
Once the Current Job is put to rest I would move it to a larger multi bay hard drive unit, USB or FireWire nothing fancy, no RAID, set up as one single Disk
This would only be accessed when something is needed from a past Job so the connection does not have to be speedy
The Drobo would be relegated to Vaults and backups
You can set up a Vault on the Drobo to back up the External Working Library and then Reconnect it when you have moved the Library over to the other Enclosure
This has worked for me pretty smoothly for a long while, but I have found over the years that one can not assume all people work in the same manner! :-)

When I run repair permissions I continue to get this message even after a full reformat and re-install of OS. "Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repai

Doug,
According to Apple, Mac OS X: Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions messages that you can safely ignore.

Creative Cloud is Blank, nothing is displayed even after a reboot, what is the solution?

I did the following but it did not help,
Rename the opm.db file.
1.Close the Creative Cloud application if it's running.
2.Navigate to the OOBE folder.
Windows: [System drive]:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Adobe\OOBE
Mac OS: /User/<username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/OOBE folder
3.Rename the opm.db file to opm_old.db
4.Launch Creative Cloud
even after a reboot and installing an up date for Creative Cloud a blank screen is displayed

Blank thumbnails in Iphoto mobileme gallery after snow leopard upgrade

After upgrading to snow leopard, all the thumbnails for my different mobileme galleries are blank. iphoto 08. If I click on a blank thumbnail, I get a big ? I tried logging out and back in mobileme a few times, and also tried all the "rebuild" options when holding control & alt while opening Iphoto.
All the pics are there if I look online at the gallery.
any ideas?
B

Greetings,
Do the original images show up in the Photos and/or Events section of iPhoto or do they also give you an exclamation point?
Do you have a backup of your important data like Time Machine?
You can try reseting iPhoto:
Ensure all your software is up to date (Apple Menu > Software Update).
Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
Home > Library > Caches (I remove the whole folder. It will be re-generated upon restart.)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iPhoto (There may be more than one. Remove them all.)

Blank Thumbnails in Library

In the Library in iPhoto I have many blank thumbnails. It is not possible to select one of these blanks and then see it, the spinning wheel turns grey, it all runs very slow and I then force quit the application. It is possible to select the blanks and then delete them. However, any operation with them takes forever. I have tried to rebuild the library using the hold-down of the apple and option kexs when launching iPhoto but the problem is still there.
Can any body please suggest what to do? Are the blanks actual photos, or just a 'ghost' in the machine?

Paul,
If your database is corrupted, then you do lose the albums, keywords, and other iPhoto metadata. You said you tried the option-command-launch rebuild, but that was before manually deleting those zero kb jpeg files. You could try the auto rebuild again, but I'd guess the chances of it helping are slim.
One final thing to try before starting a new library is to download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. It uses a different file to restore the library than the iPhoto rebuild, and can sometimes restore a library when iPhoto cannot. It's another slim chance, but may be worth the effort if it goes well. If it fails, it won't make anything worse. Plus, the iPLM Help gives good descriptions of how iPhoto works and may shed light on what happened to your library. I learned a lot just by reading their information.
And no, I can't explain the thousands of zero kb jpeg files in your library. Had you copied the library folder over to another drive and back? Did your hard drive get low on disk space? Prior to this trouble, had you ever used the Finder to change or delete the files inside your iPhoto Library folder? You could see if your hard disc needs repairs with Disk Utility. If it comes up with a long list of errors that would be a clue. You would be wise to repair the disk (in that case) before trying to repair your iPhoto library.
Regards.
