Cant see images in Preview only as thumbnails

I recently had my PBG4 17" in for apple care service. A new(I think) HD was installed with an upgrade to OSX3.9 from previous 2.8, everything seems to be working fine except for Preview. They (Apple store) did have to re-install my backed up data and now all my images that preview usually displays come up gray screen except when I open thumbnails then I see them. Can anyone help or should I take my PB back to Apple? Oh yeah and can you help me change the language when I open "About this Mac" under more info the specs are in German.(Deustch)

Hey, i checked the box "Open in 32-bit mode", and it totally solved the prob!
Thank you SO much, this has been driving ,me NUTS!!!!!
Can i ask you- what "mode" was it opening images in if not 32, and why would that option not work?
thanks again! I love you!!!
Apple's programs default to 64bit mode in Snow Leopard. Mostly, this works pretty well, but there have been a few times where problems pop up. I'm sure that as the drivers, flash, and other programs mature, 64 bit will cause fewer problems.
I don't know why your version of Preview is having problems with 64bit because mine is not, but there may be other factors to consider that I'm not an expert on. I suppose you could experiment to see if the problem is with a preference (plist) file. They are located at ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.plist or com.apple.Preview.LSSharedFileList.plist
If you move those two files to the desktop, uncheck the 32bit mode and the program works, then you've found the real problem. Changing the program to run in 32bit mode won't hurt, but it may just be hiding the problem instead of fixing it.
Eiher way, 32 bit mode should be ok for a program like Preview as 64bit mode's advantages of extra ram availability or other advantages won't be missed by today's Macs. As a rule of thumb though, many users are trying to get their systems to run just 64bit applications with the theory that all 64 will help keep the system more stable. We've still got changes coming to improve the situation, including upgrades by almost all 3rd party programs like MS Office or Adobe products. SL is very much a work in progress.
Glad the info helped you get some work done. Thanks for the

  • InDesign Unable to See Image in Preview

    I'm very new to InDesign (day 1) and am working on a template for a flyer.  I am unable to see one image when I do a preview.  It does not appear when I export the file.  The forum is not allowing me to attach the file.  I have checked the attributes and the Nonprinting is NOT checked.  I have the file uploaded to my Dropbox and will need an e-mail address if you would like me to share it to you.  I don't know why it's not letting me attach on these forums . . .

    Try re-saving the EPS as an Illustrator AI file. That’s the better format. If you’re saving EPS files for use in InDesign you’re doing something wrong.
    That´s true if it´s vector graphics. I assumed (may be too fast) that original problem file is photoshop-eps, because I myself have had so little troubles with vector based eps-files in indesign.
    It’s also true for mixed raster and vector and for raster only. TIF, PSD, or PDP are all superior to EPS when saving from Photoshop.

  • Cant see network via wireless only LAN

    hi can only see media box on network if Lan cable connected to pc via router, can only access media box to play music via explorer if wireless. can access via network via Lan cable only??so i can do backup's etc

    There are a lot of things that we can consider as to why your wireless network is not able to communicate to the media hub. Take for example AP Isolation on your wireless router. Make sure AP Isolation is disabled on your router so the wireless computer can communicate to the computers on your network. Second is the wireless adapter installed on your wireless computer, make sure it is properly configured. Check if the Clients for Microsoft Network and Support for File and Printer Sharing are enabled on the Properties. Third would be the firewall, there are some firewalls that can be configured to affect only on certain interface whether it's LAN or Wireless.

  • BBM version 6.1.0.49 - my bbm contacts cant see my Dp when i change it (Bold 9900 )

    Hello,
    I just bought my blackberry a few days go and I can’t see the display image of BBM contacts and they also cant see mine.
     The only time I could see their display image is when they change it.
     I tried changing my and they still can’t see it.
     I have tried the following
    1.       Updated OS to version 7.0.0 bundle 2406
    2.       Updated BBM to v6.1.0.49
    3.       Registered by BBM via the HRT
    Go to Options
    Select the Advance Options
    Select Host Routing Table
    Choose the “BOLD” point
    Press your BB menu
    Select Register Now
    Then it would be showing some message, “Your Handheld registered with the wireless network..”
    Restart your BlackBerry devices.
     4.       Rebooted & Restarted after each update
    5.       Removed the battery and restarted
    6.  Used Desktop manager to delete and reinstall BBM
    7. Downgraded BBM version from 6.1.0.49 to 6.0.032 to 6.0.0.25
    8. Downgraded OS system from Version 7 latest to the version 7 before it
    9. Deleted and reinstalled app world
    10. in fact i have done everything i can possibly think of and still have the same problem and result
    At first I thought this would be ok after adding several BBM contacts, but I have added up to 10 contacts today and still cant see their display image and they too cant see mine.
     I would really appreciate assistance on this.
     Kind regards

  • When previewing images by clicking on the thumbnail in an Event for example, I've been finding that many images preview in a 'zoomed in' way so only a small part of the photos is previewed in a highly magnified view.

    When previewing images by clicking on the thumbnail in an Event for example, I've been finding that many images preview in a 'zoomed in' way so only a small part of the photos is previewed in a highly magnified view.
    Initially I could find no cause. Then I tried right click - Edit and on the affected images, always get this warning:
    "Image Cannot Be Edited - This photo was previously edited with another application or with an early version of Iphoto. Duplicate this photo to edit it." and a "Duplicate To Edit" Button is displayed. 
    The external Editor defined for iPhoto is Adobe Photoshop Elements.
    Now, I reckon the MUST be others out there affected by this same apparent Preview bug, yet my searches have not revealed any answers.  Also seems impossible to find a contact number for adobe???
    Thanks

  • Ops - moved images in Finder & now cant see in Library

    My bad... By mistake, I deleted some images (moved them into trash) & then I used the Finder and moved them back into the Library folder where they came from. Now I cant see them in the Library. I tried right clicking on the Library Folder and Check for Missing Photos or Folders but it didnt show them.
    While trying to fix my mess, I reimported the folder in question. It showed up in the Library with the same name as the Folder that I screwed up but it only contained the images I deleted. I thought Id just move them into the original folder but they wont go because the file already exists in the destination.

  • Why have Link previews been moved to the bottom of the page? I have a toolbar on my my site and my users cant see it because the link preview is obscuring it...

    Well as I can see from other questions asked people are already aware that when you hover over a link the link preview appears at the bottom of the page instead of the status bar.
    Other people have said to install https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/
    Well thats fine for me to do that but what about the users who come to my site and cant see my toolbar at the bottom because the link preview (with a long URL) is obscuring it? I cant tell them to go and install an addon, what bright spark thought of this I find it very disrupting.

    As far as I know, [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ the Classic Theme Restorer add-on] is the only way move the Reload button outside the address bar.
    # Install [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/ Classic Theme Restorer] and restart Firefox when prompted.
    # Open the Add-ons Manager (Ctrl+Shift+A; Mac: Command+Shift+A), then the Extensions category.
    # Next to Classic Theme Restorer, click the Options button.
    # On the Main tab, make sure "Movable back-forward button" and "Hide urlbars stop & reload buttons" are checked. You might also want to check "Combine stop & reload buttons". Close the options window when done.
    # Right-click an empty area of the tab bar and choose Customize.
    # Drag the Back/Forward, Stop and Reload buttons onto the navigation toolbar.
    # Click the Exit Customize button in the lower right corner when done.
    That being said, I should point out that you can reload pages in other ways.
    * Right-click any tab and choose Reload.
    * Right-click an empty area of the page and choose Reload.
    * Press F5.
    * Press Ctrl+R (Mac: Command+R).

  • Help - cante see developed images

    Sorry about this one - there has to be a simple answer for a new user. I have exported developed images from RAW(NEF) to JPG and put them back in the same folder as my RAW files (I want to keep them together so I know where to find them) but Lightroom cant see them. I know they are there as Finder sees them and they open in Preview. Using MacPro & Lightroom 1.0, Mac OSx4. A quick answer?
    Iain

    Several things -
    1) When you export to the same folder as the RAW, you would have to import to get the image back into LR. LR does not automatically read in files in one of its listed folders.
    2) However this may not work - I know you can't get RAW and jpg from a camera card together into the same folder during import, because LR doesn't import two files of the same name (different extensions). This may be the problem in your case. If the jpg files are named differently, then item (1) applies to you.
    3) Why do you want to reimport a jpg derived from a RAW in the library? That's not the LR philosophy! When you have edited a master file to a point where you want to "save" it, make a virtual copy of it. This is how you get a derivative file in the library. Better yet, whenever you begin editing a master (RAW in your case) with the goal of producing an image that you want to save, create a virtual copy first, then edit it. The idea is that a jpg is a format that you want to use in the "outside" world, like a file to print or one to attach to email. All of these "exports" should come from a negative (a master or virtual copy). But you shouldn't have to reimport one of these "exports".

    I'm using LR5.7 on a Mac Mini running Mavericks and when I attempt to import a folder of new RAW photos from my external drive into my catalog instead of seeing a preview of each thumbnail photo I see the following message displayed: "Preview Unavailable for this file." If I highlight any other folder of photos the previews are all there. What is the likely reason for these previews being unavailable? JohnnyCam

    Did you use any Nikon software to transfer the photos to your computer's hard disk?
