Canon Rebel Ti images showing only as icons

I just transferred my images from an old computer to a new one. All of the photos that were originally uploaded from my Rebel XTi are only showing as icons and are not viewable. I do not have the Rebel software installed on the new computer just the software for my 40D, could this be why?

I'm guessing you're probably using RAW and have not installed the Canon utilities on your new computer.
You'll want to do two things:
1) Using the disk that came with one of your cameras, install the Canon utilities (EOS Utility, Digital Photo Professional, Zoom Browser, etc.) It actually doesn't matter which disk you use to install (you can use the disk that came with your XTi or your 40D).
2) Go to the Canon support site and download the latest version of these apps. You can navigate to the product page for either camera (e.g. http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/eos_slr_camera_systems/eos_digital_slr_cameras/eos_40... )
The reason you needed to install the base version is that some of these downloads are not the full product... they're "updates". Both the EOS Utility and Digital Photo Professional require that you have a base version installed, then you can apply the update. This will bring you new computer up-to-date with the latest features of these apps including the ability to view and open the RAW images created by these cameras.
If you were using something else to view and edit your images (e.g. suppose you had installed Photoshop) then you would have to install that software on your new computer and would also likely need to check for updates from them as well.)
JPEG is a fairly universal format -- so it's rare to find any computer that can view JPEGs. RAW, on the other hand, is more of a "concept" than a "standard".
Each camera can have it's own RAW format. Consequently, each device that wants to view the files in the native RAW format has to understand that specific RAW format.
Apple simplifies this... they provide "Camera RAW Updates" at the operating system level which means that the computer does understand (and can open) any of the RAW images even without installing any specifial software.
Windows is a different story... Microsoft does not provide any sort of RAW support at the operating system level. Instead, you have to get RAW support from 3rd parties.
The Canon utilities provided with your camera will know how to open and view any of the photos taken by your camera provided you installed those Canon utilities. If you use Adobe software, then you'd have to install the RAW updates provided by Adobe.
RAW images typically contain a small JPEG "preview" image embedded within the RAW file. Many computers and applications that see the JPEG preview even if they can't actually open the full RAW file.

AT2 Showing Only 2 Icons After Software Update

So I updated the software of my AT2 and it showed only two icons (settings & computer) & yes it was connected to the internet.
So I restored to factory settings and problem persists. Please help.
FYI, image:

Thanks mate. I set the country in settings and logged in to my iTunes account which I assumed it would have done automatically after the update and all the icons have arrived.

Gif image shows only in black and white

Hello...
I'm trying to convert normal image to PlanarImage but the PlanarImage will show only black & white image in the applet. My guess is that it has something to do with bands but I can't figure out how to solve the problem.
Here is the code what I'm trying to use in applet's init method
public void init(){
     Image my_gif;
     URL base;
     MediaTracker mt;
     mt = new MediaTracker(this);
     try {
          base = getCodeBase();
     catch (Exception e) {}
     my_gif = getImage(base,"image.gif");
     mt.addImage(my_gif,1);
     try {
     mt.waitForAll();
     catch (InterruptedException e) {}
     int imageHeight = my_gif.getHeight(this);
     int imageWidth = my_gif.getWidth(this);
     int numBands = 3;
     int len = imageHeight * imageWidth * numBands;
     byte[] imageData = null;
     PixelGrabber pixeli = new PixelGrabber(my_gif, 0, 0, imageWidth, imageHeight,false);
     SeekableStream ss = null;
     try {
          pixeli.grabPixels();
          imageData = (byte[])pixeli.getPixels();
     } catch (InterruptedException e2) {
          e2.printStackTrace();
     ColorModel cm = pixeli.getColorModel();
     SampleModel sm = cm.createCompatibleSampleModel(imageWidth,imageHeight);
     TiledImage tiledImage = new TiledImage(new Point(),sm,imageWidth,imageHeight);
     DataBufferByte dbb = new DataBufferByte(imageData,len);
     Raster raster = RasterFactory.createWritableRaster(sm,dbb,new Point());
     tiledImage.setData(raster);
     PlanarImage image = (PlanarImage)tiledImage;

Go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn off White on Black.

Some PDFs Show Only Generic Icon

Hello,
I hope someone has an answer for this. I haven't used Bridge very much, but starting to use it to catalog a large batch of PDF files (Bridge CS5). Most of my PDF files show actual previews in Bridge, but many other PDF files show only the generic PDF file icons.
I eventually figured out that the PDF files that show as generic icons are all files that someone had password-protected so that the files couldn't be printed or altered. Apparently this password protection precludes Bridge from creating previews for these PDF files.
Is this expected behavior?
Is there a way around this problem? I don't know the password to the protected PDF files, so I can't open them in Acrobat Pro and change these settings. All I want to do is view these PDF files in Bridge so I can sort them in in an efficient manner.
I would appreciate any discussion and/or help with this problem.
Thank you very much.

I eventually figured out that the PDF files that show as generic icons are all
files that someone had password-protected so that the files couldn't be
printed or altered.
If a PDF has password protection you can't view and open them without this
password, nor can you view it in Bridge (there is also no preview in the
Finder, just a lock symbol with PDF at the bottom). A normal PDF file can be
viewed as thumb in the content window but in the preview window you can also
run through a multipage PDF to view its content.
Is this expected behavior?
Yes it is, a password is what it does, protect anyone from viewing it
without providing the password when asked for
Is there a way around this problem? I don't know the password to the
protected PDF files, so I can't open them in Acrobat Pro and change these
settings. All I want to do is view these PDF files in Bridge so I can sort
them in in an efficient manner.
There maybe someone that knows a very obscure way to break those passwords
but I don't know of it (nor would I like to know it....) so without the
password you will never be able to view them. Normally you won't also be
able to undo the security of a protected file without knowing the
permissions password also.
So if you don't know the passwords and don't know how to get them your
easiest option will be delete them so they won't bother you again and also
don't take space on your system...

Thinkpad USB Port Replicator with Digital Video - extended monitor shows only mouse icon

Hi,
I have been using my Thinkpad USB Port Replicator with Digital Video for quite a long time with my previous employer laptop. I recently switched job and got a new laptop (Dell XPS 3, Win 8.1). While installing/paring this laptop with the port replicator, I had some issues e.g. extended monitor not getting identified etc. I updated the drivers and now I am able to identify the extended monitor. But the extended monitor shows only the mouse icon and nothing else. I have upto date Intel HD graphics drivers installed in the laptop. Intel's Graphics control panel doesn't show the extend option for the USB monitor, but able to still move the mouce icon to the extended monitor.
Any help/pointers to fix this issue is highly appreciated.

I have the exact same problem on my W510. Everything but the screen Works. I cannot however do duplicate screens. That would help a Little bit, so I could use the big monitor instead of just the laptop.
Please fix this Lenovo!

Shows only "PROCESSING ICON" on my screen and asking Drivers for XP

Iam buy my ipod 6 days back only, i connected ipod to the system for loading songs suddenly my ipod was hanged and it's always shows "PROCESSING ICON". I removed the usb cable and againg i attach the cable to system but windows searching for drivers. But i don't have any drivers cd for this.

Iam not geeting any answer on this.

Emails with embedded image show only =20

I am seeing this issue across multiple iPhones with iOS 4.3.x and 5.0. It is very inconsistent. I have seen the same email go out to multiple users in a group and some can see the embedded image correctly while others only see the following in place of the image:
------_=_NextPart_002_01CC8F42.DA025060
Content-Type: text/plain;
charset="us-ascii"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
=20
=20
=20
=20
This tells me the sender isn't formating the message in a way the recipient cannot read it. It seems to be an encoding issue. The email will display fine in various email clients but not on the iPhone. The same email can later be sent again and it will work fine.
The iPhones' email accounts are setup as IMAP and the mail server is running Exchange 2003. I'm sure this will go away once I upgrade the server to 2010 and use ActiveSync with an Exchange account instead of IMAP, but I need to make it work correctly for now.
Is anyone else experienceing this issue and if you are, what server, account type, iOS are you running?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I have the same problem with FF 14.0.1 on a freshly reinstalled Win7 32:
I have a 100Mbps cable connection, but get a '''ridiculous 4-5 Mbps''' out of FF while the latest versions of Explorer and Chrome gives at least 75Mbps...
All tests have been done with virus protection on as well as off (the latter is something I loathe doing) and with two different speed tests, one of them being speedtest.net. The results are conclusive: The problem clearly rests with FF. So: What in Heavens name has happened to my longtime favvo browser? At the moment it is quite useless and I am at my wits end.
I don't particularly want to, but as of tonight I'm transferring all my bookmarks to Chrome as a hopefully temporary measure.

TOOL WINDOWS PALETTE showing only pen icon at start up

My tool palette often has every tool icons in it disapear except the PEN tool. The way I've found to make them re-appear is to unattach palette (tool icons re-appear) then replace my tool palette wherre it was. But, it'S a neverending process everytime I reopen my PP3.
Anyone else encountered the same bug as I am ?
Thank you.

You should ask only once. We'll get to the question if we can help.

Raw files showing only as icons in bridge

This is a recent problem for me. The raw files in question are ".pef" files from a Pentax k100d that I've had for quite some time.
I started having a problem with Bridge crashing on me. In trying to solve that problem, I started Bridge by holding down the crtl key and choosing the three option to reset preferences and purge cache. Since doing this, all my thumbnails have disappeared and I can't get them back. I've read and found the appropriate locations for the camera raw plugins:
I am running 64 bit Vista. I have CS4 and found that the latest version of Camera Raw that I could install was version 5.7. I found the install instructions on the Adobe site. As it told me to do, I downloaded the zip file for version 5.7 and extracted. I moved the Camera Raw.8bi file from the top directory into C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS4\File Formats and moved the Camera Raw.8bi file from the Win64 folder into C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS4\File Formats.
I also found the 5.7 Camera Raw installer and ran that. I am still having the same problem.
I have spent the better part of two days googling and trying to figure out what I am doing wrong.
I've tried moving all my cache files and letting them regenerate. I've purged the cache several times. Nothing I do works.
I do notice that when I go to a directory of photos that I have not been to in a while, I see the thumbnail for a brief moment. It quickly disappears and the flower icon appears.
Do I need to re-install Bridge? Do I have to uninstall first? I can't do that separate from Photoshop can I?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I tried all of those options: Prefer Embedded, High Quality on Demand, Always High Quality with every combination of Generate 100% previews. Still nothing
I searched for all the instances of the camera raw file and it found 4 versions of the file 2 associated with CS4 and 2 associated with Photoshop Elements that I used a couple of years ago.

Can't import from Canon Rebel into Yosemite iPhoto.

Updated to Yosemite 10.10, iPhoto 9.6, which recognizes my Canon Rebel T5i and shows a video but won't import because "there's a problem downloading" which tells me nothing. Any ideas?

I had posted this issue in multiple spots so I'll answer in general and paste everywhere for others to learn what's taken me hours to figure out. I've spent nearly a work day dealing with his issue, needed the video for a work project. Anyway, short answer to a known problem, call Canon (or your camera manufacturer).
Turned out my video wasn't corrupt. I had to take the card out of the camera and insert into Mac's SD slot (which is a card reader so you could go the USB card reader route) and imported directly into iMovie. Downloading into iPhoto, Image Capture and even dragging onto my Desktop still wouldn't work for some unknown reason (probably related to my old laptop) but I was able to finally import the video as a .mov file directly from the card.
For newer Canon cameras, there is no communication setting of Normal and PTP in the menu settings as both the Canon rep and another commenter reported. The Canon rep said they are updating their utility to Yosemite OS 10.10, that it wouldn't take 6 months but he couldn't commit a timeframe. You don't need the camera software anyway if you're tethering and importing into iPhoto.
Seems the easiest solution is inserting card into computer SD slot or using a USB tethered card reader. Hope this helps save others some aggravation although I've learned my lesson about early adoption and "upgrading" to new Apple OS. If it ain't broke.....wait, then wait some more.

My iMac won't read my Canon Rebel XT

I've had my iMac for a couple months now and have never been able to get my Canon Rebel XT to show up on it. I plug it in via usb and turn it on and it just reads "busy" on the screen continuously, and doesn't show up anywhere on my iMac. I tried Googling an answer to my question multiple times but all solutions assume that the camera shows up on my iMac, which it does not.
If this is the wrong place to post this question please direct me as to where it would be appropriate. Thank you in advance for any help, I really appreciate it.

I won't show up in the Finder, but should still import into iPhoto. Optionally, you can take the card out and insert it into any SD card reader that registers with your Mac. Then you'll see the card in the Finder listed as a Canon EOS (if properly formatted with your camera's Initialization routine) You should be able access the USB SD card like any other drive or USB device.
While in the camera, though, I believe you will only get iPhoto to import from it.

How can I set up only bookmarks icons on the side bar in Fx 10?

Hello everyone,
I'm new to Fx extensions, so please provide the solution for the following problem I have:
I want to have my bookmarks tab on the left side, that will be showing only the icons of my fav pages. Is it possible to do with any of the Fx 10 extensions?
Thanks for your help.
Michal.

You can hide the search bar, but the only way to hide the names that I can find is to set the text color to transparent.
Adding (leaf) will still show folder names.
Add code to userChrome.css below the default @namespace line.

Only two icons on Apple TV menu when I connected it to my LCD TV

Hi, I'm using apple tv2. Recently I updated my apple tv sofware version to 5.0.1 and I connected it to my tv. But my apple tv's interface is different from other users. It shows only two icons on the screen, one is computers and other one is settings. Can some one tell me how can I get other icons like music, movies, tv shows etc. on my apple tv screen ?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately, a number of users appear to have encountered this problem. Some of these users have reported that the problem just disappears the following day or shortly after. Other users have found various other solutions to this problem.
Firstly, are you receiving any date and time errors when you turn on your Apple TV?
Check that you are properly connected to the Internet, by ensuring that you have a proper IP address and not one starting with 169. Also check that your location for the iTunes Store is set correctly, if so you might try changing it and then changing it back.
If the problem persists try restarting the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds, or resetting it using the reset option under general. You should also try restarting your router, or if this doesn't work you might like to try a restore.

Startup Disk shows only '?'

Something is wrong with the 'Startup Disk' program within System Preferences in my MacBook. Although I have OSX and Windows, it shows only one icon with the word 'network startup' and a question mark. The Startup was set to Windows before, and now I can only access OSX (bootcamp)
with the option key. The problem is, that if I want to boot with the OSX installation disk or Disk Warrier, it doesn't work because startup is set for Windows, and in that case the C and D keys won't work.
Does anyone know how to restore the start-up options? Thanks for any advice!

Boot into OS-X and in System Preferences -> Startup Disk, select OS-X. It's that simple.
You can do the same thing if you are in Windows. It the control panel is the startup disk option. Select OS-X
If I'm understanding right, the OP couldn't see OS X as an option in the startup disk settings, in which case I'm really not sure what he can do, beyond resetting PRAM.

When I attach images to an email they show as the image and not an icon. Is there a way to make the attachment an icon?

When I attach images to an email they show as an image and not an icon. Is there a way to have them attached as an icon?
When I send attachments this way some people can't save them. They can see them but not save them.
Any ideas?

They are received as attachments, i.e. icons. What you see is the real image on your disk, and only if small enough to be displayed. Otherwise, they are small icons inserted in the text.
Additionally, when you place an image in the message, you will find an option in the lower right corner, otherwise absent. Use it, if need be.
