Blanks where thumbs should be

My dad's iPhoto (on an eMac, Tiger 10.4) won't show his photos in iPhoto--he just gets blank blue squares where the thumbs should be. We did recently back up his internal drive to an external one, and his photo library just passed the 10,000 images mark, if either of those are relevent.
Thank you for any help!

I thought he might have let go too soon! But I tried it, to no avail. Actually, it's not blue squares that appear, but the "shadows" "behind" the thumbnails. And the file names are there--just no actual images. And the iPhoto library (even rebuilt) is something like 350 MB.
It's a mystery--though less pressing, now that we've confirmed an intact library on his backup drive. . . .

  • Dialog boxes come up missing data, blanks where options should be.

    Adobe Reader 10.1.0
    Problem just started, when I bring up a dialog box to print or set preferences, the box comes up but all of the text normally in place is missing.  I get the box, but the drop down boxes are empty as are all the page selection boxes and anything else.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled, but problem still there.

    Here we are in 2013 and this problem is still happening. You would think that in the course of two years Adobe would have figured out how to prevent this from happening. I am having the same problem when trying to print from IE8 in Win XP.
    It turns out, that for me, this issue was caused by Windows Update KB2753842. Simply uninstalling this update using the Add/Remove Programs i the Control Panel fixed everything for me.

  • Since yesterday, clicking to read my email gets a blank window, not the email. Same w/ windows where data should be entered (like with online banking). Help!

    Since yesterday, when I click to read my email I get a blank window instead of the usual window with the email itself. The same is happening with windows where data should be entered, like those virtual keyboards for online banking login, or windows where you can add records (like daily electricity and gas consumption). In all these situations, a window should pop-up and pop-up it does - but always blank.
    I already unistalled/reinstalled Firefox and reset it "to its default state".
    Thanks in advance for your help.

  • WHY IS LINK BEING PUT IN ADDRESS BAR OF EMAIL INSTEAD OF BODY OF THE EMAIL WHERE IT SHOULD BE ???

    When sending a link to someone (I choose Yahoo to launch the application), all of the sudden the link I want to send is being automatically inserted into the address bar of the email. What's up with that? This seems to have started all the sudden on its own. I click File - Email Link - Yahoo opens. After Yahoo opens, a blank email comes up but instead of the link being in the body of the email where it should be, it's in the Send To (address bar) of the email.
    This is obviously wrong, how do I change it?

    I have to back up my Address Book daily.
    You say that like it's something you shouldn't have to do - I backup mine hourly (with Time Machine), and additionally at least once a day with SuperDuper. ALWAYS have an up-to-date backup of your important data.
    As for the missing undo command, yes that is an annoyance and I too wish it were available. It's missing from iTunes too, which has long been a frustration for me.
    Having said that, ranting here in the discussion forums will not get you anywhere. Anyone at Apple who can do something to fix the issue isn't reading these forums. If you want to send your bug report in where it will actually be read by someone who can do something about it, you should file it here: http://bugreport.apple.com
    You will need to sign up for a (free) ADC membership to use the bug reporter.
    EDIT: I should mention that this isn't likely to ever get fixed in Leopard. Apple has discontinued all development for Leopard except for security updates.

  • Screen displays red where black should be

    I have been having display issues for a few months and can not get it fixed.  Where the screen should be displaying black the color red is being displayed. My system info is:
    I have a G61 laptop with windows 7 64 bit system
    ATI Mobility Radeon 4200 series
    Driver 8.970.100.1100(201304290
    When I connect the laptop to a external monitor dont have this issue.
    I downloaded the Radeon file to detect the proper graphics drive and it confirmed that the latest driver is installed.
    Can anyone please suggest a way to fix this issue please?
    Thank you

    Hi @JereJK1960
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I saw your post regarding the problem with the red where it should be black. Since, this doesn't show up on an external monitor we know it is not a problem with your video card or graphics driver as it would show up on the external monitor. This is a hardware issue with the display screen or the connectors to the display. Give us a call regarding repair options. You can reach HP Total Care at 1-800-474-6836 in North America or start here if you live outside of North America.

  • Report where stock should be calculated after every movement

    Hello
    I need to create a report where stock should be calculated after every movement (after every document)
    initial stock is 500
                    quantity     on going stock
    Doc 1         +100               600                          = 500 + 100
    Doc 2         - 200               400                          = 500 + 100 - 200
    The non cumulative KF doesnt help in this case. What would you recommend to use?

    create an DSO having time stamp as part of key and two key figures outgoing and incoming. This should provide you all the movement history.
    Hope it helps

  • ITunes can't locate some files that are right where they should be

    I'm using iTunes 12 for Windows.  I keep a huge iTunes library at home on a mapped NAS share and the same library at work on a local drive.  Every week on Monday I sync my entire iTunes folder from home to an external drive and then bring that external drive to work and sync it to my local drive there.  (Note: This is a one way sync; I never sync in the other direction.)  This system has worked flawlessly for six years.
    Within the last six weeks, I've started to get error messages on my work system saying that many (>1600) media files of various types cannot be located.  I assumed corruption was the issue so I deleted my entire 500GB iTunes folder and re-copied everything back over.  Not just the media files.  Everything.  The problem persists and I cannot figure out why.
    I have confirmed that iTunes on the work computer is referencing the correct iTunes library file.  I have confirmed that iTunes is pointing to the correct iTunes folder.  I have confirmed that the "missing" iTunes files are right where they should be.  (I have always had iTunes set to move imported media into the iTunes folder so there is no stray media floating around on either system.  And I have iTunes set to organize the media.)
    It is worth noting that I started seeing this around the time when I upgraded to iTunes 12.  When I upgraded to iTunes 12 I had to change the path to my home library from "\\<NAS>\iTunes\iTunes Music" to "M:\iTunes\iTunes Music" due to a bug in iTunes that created iPhone syncing issues if the iTunes library is on a network drive.  But I can't figure out why this would matter.  The path on the work computer is correct and all media files are there.
    Ideas? I just don't understand how deleting everything and starting over doesn't solve the issue since there is NO issue at home.

    Thanks again for your help with this, tt2.  (I keep wanting to call you "Alan".)
    I totally botched the repair process, including my library and media collection, four different times.  If not for the fact that I had a complete, up-to-date copy of my library and all media files I would be completely scr3wed right now.  I'm going to outline the mistakes I made for the benefit of those who might reference this thread in the future.
    A big part of my struggle was the underlying assumptions I was making about how the iTunes database is maintained and tracked.  It is not the same as the digital asset managers I use for work—Lightroom, for example.  I really had to quit thinking for myself and pay attention to what tt2 wrote about the way the iTunes db works in the link he provides earlier in this thread about making split libraries portable.
    The biggest mistake I made is failing to understand that after you move the iTunes library files (but not the media files) to a new iTunes drive or directory outside of the existing iTunes folder and then shift-click to open that relocated library in iTunes you have to set the iTunes Media folder location (in preferences>advanced) to the empty iTunes Media folder in the NEW iTunes folder.  You do NOT set it (or leave it) pointed to the old iTunes Music/Media folder where your files [may] actually reside before consolidation.  This mistake can make a bad situation much worse. 
    Finally, I did not have a split library in the sense that my media files were outside of my iTunes Media folder.  Because of this, when I incorrectly pointed the new iTunes library to the old iTunes Media folder and then consolidated I created 9,936 duplicate files.  I had a complete back up which made eliminating the duplicate files a simple process.  Without the backup I would have been in trouble.
    So...to fix my problem I followed tt2's instructions and did this:
    Backed up my entire M:\iTunes folder including libraries and media files.  If everything goes well, this backup will not be touched.
    Created a new A:\iTunes folder plus an empty A:\iTunes\iTunes Media folder.
    Moved everything from M:\iTunes to A:\iTunes EXCEPT for the iTunes Music* folder.  (*It was the new iTunes 9 and later hierarchy but with the old name.)
    Shift-Clicked to open iTunes and selected the iTunes library inside A:\iTunes.
    Once iTunes was open I went to Edit>Preferences>Advanced and made the empty A:\iTunes\iTunes Media the location of my media.
    Went to File>Library>Organize Library and choose "consolidate". After hours of file copying, my issue was resolved. A:\iTunes is portable.
    Confirmed that the new A:\iTunes library correctly links to all media in the A:\iTunes\iTunes Media folder and then deleted the M:\iTunes directory with the old M:\iTunes\iTunes Music folder inside.
    NOTE: It bears repeating that the problem solved was that I could not move my old M:\iTunes folder to a different workstation w/o breaking some of the links.  However all the links worked fine in the M:\iTunes location.  If this were not the case then this solution will not resolve anything. 

  • I have completed the tutorial Adobe LR5 Classroom in a Book.  I have a MacBook Pro.  Every photo that I import from either my hard drive or the tutorial has red where white should be.  What in the world am I doing?

    I have installed LR5 on my MacBook Pro.  I have completed a book that had online tutorials called Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 Classroom in a Book.  All of my photos that are in my tutorial and the ones that I have imported from my hard drive have red on them where white should be.  I see this immediately when switching from Library to Develop before I do anything to the photo except import it.  I would appreciate any tips!

    You are seeing red because that is the color of the clipping indicator. It is indicating that the whites are being clipped. You can turn off the clipping indicator by clicking on the little square in the upper right-hand corner of the histogram. Or you can adjust your highlights, whites and exposure until the red disappears. If you see blue on your photos that is indicating that the shadows are being clipped, and that is controlled by the little square in the upper left-hand corner of the histogram.
    As a side note, you can activate or deactivate both clipping indicators by simply pressing the J key while in the develop module.

    Hi again,
    this may be old news to some people, but I just realized we can have the desired benefits I originally listed (encapsulation, reuse, maintainability, security) TODAY by using pipelined functions and using the table() function in Apex report region queries.
    So the report query basically becomes, for example (if get_employees is a pipelined function)
    select * from table(my_package.get_employees(:p1_deptno))
    The only downside compared to a (weakly typed) sys_refcursor is that you have to define the type you are returning in your package spec (or as an SQL type). So it's a bit more coding, but it's still worth it for the other benefits it provides.
    I like Apex even better now! :-)

    That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
    XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
    Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
    Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards?

  • Green noise is being displayed where black should be being displayed

    OK, I am really worried that my Macbook Pro is screwed up bad. I've been playing World of Warcraft fine for weeks. Been watching my temps, been a little high but not anything dangerous. However I've recently been noticing that when I play WoW for over 2 hrs or so and exit, my screen glitches and what can best be described as green static is displayed where black should be. Now I've tried reseting the NVRAM and leaving it alone for a few hrs and it went away. Now it popped up again, did the same thing that fixed it before, but now it won't go away. Did my Mac overheat and now the graphics are messed up?

    Are you still under warranty? If so, it would be prudent to report this to Apple and possibly get a case number. It sounds like there could be a hardware problem with the graphics chip, even if nothing showed up on the AHT. Did you run the AHT at a time that you were getting the green noise?
    Have you tried an external display? If you get the some problem on it, that would indicate a graphics chip problem. If you don't, there could be some sort of problem with your built in display.
    Good luck!
