Can't see event thumbnails

Hello. Just updated to 7.0.1 and most everything is fine. However, I cannot see the event thumbnails - I just get the "boxes" where the thumbnails should be. Two odd things: 1) when I drag the cursor over the box I get a gradient - light to dark gray, 2) if I scroll down quickly I do see some thumbnails at the bottom of the page but they then disappear. Lastly, the thumbnails are visible when I am in "photo" mode. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Back up and try rebuilding the database. Hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys and launch iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

Can't see psd thumbnails in the open dialog box.

In the open dialog box, the thumbnails for psd files do not show the picture but show an Elements logo instead. How can I see picture thumbnails for psd files as I do for jpg files? I found a dng codec on the web site but not a psd codec. The dng codec doesn't work for psd files.

Hi,
Is there any error message when you try to map network Drive manually? It would be better to provide more details about error message.
Generally speaking, this problem can be caused by Network Connection problem, please make sure your Client PC could access to Network Drive PC.
In addition, please check Network Drive PC security setting, if there is any firewall policy prevent this operation.
If still no use, please check Event Viewer if it identify this problem.

There is no error. There is no connectivity problem. THe drives map automatically and always have. I can open up File Explorer and browse these drives all I want. I can open up Word and browse to these drives just fine.
However, when I open certain programs, and click File | Open, the mapped network drives just simply aren't there. I only see C and D and that's it.

IMovie 11 can't "see" events library on external drive

I can't reconnect iMovie with my Events Folder. I was successfully using iMovie 11 with the Events and Projects foldersstored on an external drive (for space reasons.) Then I slipped up trying to back up the Events library in Dropbox (I forgot to hold down the Alt. key to make it copy, instead of moving the folder.) I immediately shifted it back and cancelled the operation. But now iMovie can't "see" the Events library and I get the little yellow triangle on the projects showing it can't locate the source files.
I'm using the blue iMovie browser setting that shows all files and I can see, and access, the Events folder on the external drive through the Mac Finder. The Events folder is sitting on the top level of my external drive. I've tried everything I can think of. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I dont have any answers for you, but I do have the same problem as you on my brand new mac, which is using an iPhoto library from my old Mac. I have tried rebuilding the iPhoto database but it doesnt help. iMovie is getting stuck on trying to create the thumbnails from iPhoto. It says "the movie file "clipXXXXX cannot be found, without this file, the movie cannot play properly. " Even though that file exists in the iPhoto library masters folder. It offers to allow me to cancel or seach, and when I search to it, the iPhoto library is grayed out as an option to search in. I also tried to manually move the file out of the iPhoto library to the Movies directory, but that doesnt help either.

How can i see events in iPhoto in list form?

I just got an iMac and have imported all my photos from my PC to iPhoto. Now I want to view the "events" in a list form, but can't see how to do that and can't find any info in Help or the user interface. Anyone know how to do this?

Go to the Photos mode and in View enable Event Titles:
Then you'll get this type of list:
To open or close all events at one time Option-click on the triangle at the beginning of the Event title.

Help! can't see CR2 thumbnails In Bridge

what can I try?
I cannot see the thumbnails in Bridge but can go into CS4 and open them up no problem
I shoot Canon 5d Mark II
I downloaded Camera Raw 5.3
works fine for my regular 5D but no on the new Mark II
any suggestions?
thanks!

Hi - Joan's husband here (I built the computer hardware for her, but don't
really know Photoshop that well). I did a search for "camera raw" files and
found a second instance located in the adobe/common files folder (not in
program file subfolders as the proper plugin is located per instructions).
It was the 5.0 version, and I could not do anything with it, eg delete it as
it "was in use by a program", even though I had no prgrams open. I was able
to rename it to "old camera raw 5-0", and I copied the new camera raw 5.4
version into that folder. I rebooted and now had 3 camera raw plugins
appearing in CS4/hlep/about/plugins drop down list.
I then went back into the common file folder and was able to delete the old
camera raw file. I now have two camera raw files appearing in the
help/aboutplugins dropdwon, but they are both the same 5.4 version. Now I am
able to see a selection to generate a high quality thumbnail for the cs2
files in Bridge when I right-clicked on those, and this generated the
thumbnails for all of those file types. All is well now (I hope !!), thanks
for your input and advice.
I did purge the cache, but that didn't change anything as far as I could
tell. Also, the 5.4 update doesn't show the Canon 5D Mark II on the list of
updated cameras for this revision, so I don't think it is a necessary update
for this specific camera, but probably good to stay current.
If this was an "end-run" around a proper fix then I would like to know the
proper way to resolve this.
Best Regards,
Jeff Sutton

I can't see Event Library - Only All Events

I've just started using iMovie 10.0.5 and I'm stumped by its seeming inability to import video clips where I want them. I think I have worked out that you need to import video clips (from my hard drive) to Events before you start out to create a new movie. I have done this but I can't see the individual clips, only one window which seems to contain all the clips I have imported. I see this window when I click on All Events. The various instructions I have found online tell me I need to go into the Event Library, but this doesn't show up in my iMove Browser window. One instruction says if you can't see the individual events click on Event Library. But there is no Event Library in my list of libraries. I'm getting very frustrated. iMovie used to be so easy!

Here is a screen shot of what my browser looks like:

Can't see events from multiple months

I use iCal to track staff's vacation/sick/etc. days. Each employee has his/her own calendar and all events listed on the calender relate to that person (i.e. on "Emily"'s calendar is emily OUT/emily SICK). Until recently, when I typed "Emily" in the search field, all events with that name (be it sick/out/review) came up in the results box. Now when I type "Emily," an event or two may pop up in the box, but I cannot even determine how it is selecting these dates as they are not specific to the calendar view on my screen.
Do you have advice on how I may view all events that have a specific name OR simply all events in an individual calendar in the search results box?
thanks!

Did you follow Dancin' Brook's reply about checking the appropriate calendar? If you do that then all you should see are all events for that calendar ... although they wouldn't appear in the search box.
Have you tried things like deleting iCal preferences (actually renaming them - as a test - rather than deleting them)?
I also note the follow info in iCal help ... perhaps it applies:
After updating to Mac OS X 10.4.2, you may not be able to find iCal 2.0.2 events that were created prior to updating when using the search function in iCal.
When you search for a particular event in iCal, iCal won't display the event in its search results, but you can find the event by browsing to the appropriate day in an iCal calendar or by using Spotlight.
Solution
From the iCal File menu, choose Backup Database.
Quit iCal.
Navigate to ~/Library/Application Support/iCal/Sources.
Open each folder in the Sources folder and remove the file named "Index."
Open iCal; it will re-index your events.

Can't see jpeg thumbnails

After 6 hours of reading the same solution, I still can't get this to work. I can't see jpeg thunbmails/icons. Just that stupid jpeg icon and I've done the cmd j preview icon thing and everything else mentioned. This is stupid.. os x mavericks 10.9.1
Is there a proper solution to fix this? It's absolutely maddening to not be able to view the image preview when looking at 100's of files in finder.
Thanks!

just found my answer elsewhere in the forum: "view options/view icon"
sorry!

Can't see any thumbnails in iPhoto

The only thumbnails I can see are those of phtotos I have just uploaded. However when I try to rebuild thumbnails even the ones I could see disappear. I have tried both thumbnail rebuild options, I have moved the slider. The photos are there but without the thumbnails one of the main features of iPhoto is lost. I am running iPhoto '09 on OS 10.8.2 on a 21.5" iMac. It's driving me mad!

Give this a try:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button,
navigate to your Home/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 Library ➙ 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: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

How can I see "Events" in a LIST - NOT in icons?

Could someone please tell me (step by step, inch by inch) EXACTLY how I can see all of the "Events" in Iphoto '11 as a LIST...with no icons, no "Key Photos," no scrolling through 600 different pictures to try to find the EXACT event I want by DATE that I want on the event - NOT the date that the photo was taken...A LIST:
2011-12 Go to Store (BLACK LINE WITH NOTHING ELSE IN IT)
2010-08 In Thailand (BLACK LINE WITH NOTHING ELSE IN IT)
2005-05 In Mexico (BLACK LINE WITH NOTHING ELSE IN IT)
1983-01 Buy First Computer (BLACK LINE WITH NOTHINGELSE IN IT)
600 MORE OF THESE LINES, BY DATE, AND MY DESCRIPTION, WITH NOTHING ELSE. PERIOD.
I USED to be able to do this in IPhoto, but since upgrading, it seems to be impossible. It is EXTREMELY difficult to find the photos I want when dealing with Icons no matter WHAT their size.
Along with "faces" - which I neither need, nor want, nor seem to be able to get rid of, this is the most irritating aspect of Iphoto. But of course, it's possible that, having spent a week reading the entire manual page by page, and searching every known corner of the Internet - I simply am not smart enough to find the correct answer to this question. OKAY. I can admit my limtiations.
Thanks!

Like the original poster, I'd like to view events as a simple list. A solution is given in this thread but it does not completely provide what I would like.
I would additionally like to have the option to sort the collapsed list of events. Specifically, I would like options to choose sort alphabetically or by date, ascending or descending. The collapsed events list in the photos view seems to be hardwired to display events chronologically.
I am aware that in events view, event tiles can be sorted in the way that I want. However, it is the simple, collapsed list of events that I would like to sort.
Are there any 3rd party iPhoto companion apps that can read my iPhoto library and give me a more controllable view of my events list?

I can't see image thumbnails in my library.

not able to view thumbnails to edit . i set the image size to 12 megs file size and that didn't help. the pics are jpegs. the app will open the file and then I can see the pic. but it isn't the one I want.
thanks,
BottomShark

Thanks for getting back on this. Not sure of the algorithm but I take it the application copies my photos before you can view them because as time past I noticed I was able to view more and more of my photos and now I can view all the photos on my phone. The application itself is wonderful. It allows me to quickly enhance my photos prior to sharing them with family and friends. I was able view photos on my phone and then open them with Photoshop touch and save changes to my phone. Now everything is working. Thanks again from another satisfied customer.

Can't see all thumbnails in iPhoto library

Suddenly, when I tab over to the photos tab, I no longer see all the thumbnails in my iPhoto library. Some of them come up, most of them don't. I have tried trashing the iMovie .plist, run Diskwarrior, and rebuilt permissions. When I open iPhoto, all of the thumbnails are there and everything looks fine, only a problem when I try to access them through iMovie.
Also, when I log in as another user, everything seems to work fine!! Runnning iMovie 5.0.2 on Mac OS 10.4.3 Help!

Download and use Find Any File to search for a file named "Library6.iPhoto". It's a file that is in every iPhoto library. FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't, like invisible folders, system folders and packages. If your library is somewhere on the hard drive FAF will find it.

I can't see the thumbnail in the Assets Panel.

I have downloaded the newest version of PE 12 and when I download the AVI files into the assets panel, they appear, but appear black and not as any thumbnail that I can identify when trying to do my editing. I can view them in the timeline and they play just fine, but I have a lot of clips and I can't sort through the ones that I want to use if I can't identify it in the panel. All of the other clips show up just fine, but these AVI files (mpeg2) won't give me the thumbnail view that I need. I'm using Windows 7. Any ideas?

lugeman13
We have a lot to sort out here. Your information has been very helpful but still some gaps.
1. When you look at the file on the computer hard drive (before it ever see Premiere Elements, what is the file extension, .mod or .avi?
2. When these video were originally recorded by the JVC camera, were they recorded as mod 4:3 or mod widescreen 16:9?
3. Mod standard and especially Mod standard widescreen have been highly problematic for Premiere Elements (any version). Is there any chance that you or someone else could have been trying to convert these files to something else and that the something else might be the problem now?
4. Would it be possible for you to post a screenshot of the Properties readout that you get for the file when you right click its thumbnail in Project Assets and select Properties?
There have been two classical remedies for .mod file
a. standard or standard widescreen, rename the file extension from .mod to .mpg before file import into Premiere Elements
and
b. for mod standard widescreen, use Premiere Elements Interpret Footage to correct the 4:3 look for the intended 16:9 video
More on those matters later.
We will be watching for your follow up.
Thanks.

Can't see event titles or project titles when looking at photos in the photo view in Aperture 3?

Howdy,
I recently switched from iPhoto 11 to Aperture 3. The only drawback so far is I am unable to view Project Titles when I am viewing all of my photos in the photo view. In iPhoto, I often would look at all of my photos in photo view while displaying the event titles. Is this possible in Aperture? Also, is there a simple way to view the file names underneath the photos in photo view instead of seeing the version name?

Hi Greg. Welcome to Aperture and the Apple Aperture users forum.

You should set up all seven of the Metadata Overlays to meet your needs. (iPhoto is designed as a turn-key operation for those who prefer their meals prepared; Aperture is a kitchen for those who like to cook.)

Have you looked at Projects View (click "Projects" at the top of the Library tab of the Inspector)? You can group your Projects by Folder or by Year, and you can sort them in a number of ways. There is no information pane which shows up on Aperture as you scroll (as there is in iPhoto).
Projects View, imho, add tremendous functionality to Aperture. You can add descriptions to your Projects (and these are included in searches) via the Projects Information window ("{Shift}+i" with a Project selected.)
