CS4 Thumbnails do not show metadata or file number

All of a sudden my Bridge Content panel does not show any info on thumbnail photos, neither file number nor any metadata preferences. Info is OK in the Metadata window, but not on Content pane
Also, the file folder thumbnail icons in Content panel now have the file numbers super-imposed over the file instead of below.
These must be related.
Coincidentally the font size of my Metadata panel suddenly got bigger and bolder, not the Keyword panel or any other, just Metadata. Doesn't really bother me, but seems odd these have all just happened
Using OS 10.5.8
Should I delete some sort of preference folder ? Where ?
Thanks

Metadata window, but not on Content pane

numbers super-imposed over the file instead of below.
That is caused by accidently hit cmd+T and that command does hide the
thumbnail info and put the name of the folder over the icon.
Hit cmd + T again to solve this or go the menu view and deselect the Show
thumbnail only command

That I have not seen before but might be solved with resetting the prefs as

SMB share not showing all available files

Hi,
At work I have to connect to several SMB shares. Most are fine, however 1 of them does not show all the files that are on that share. I know I'm using the right domain, username and password. I've checked the console and can see this message repeated when I connect.
mbgetmem(449): incomplete copy

I'm using OS X 10.4.8 and have no idea of how to proceed. My IT department do not support our Mac's so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many Thanks

excellent reply. Thanks for the details.
Oh, one more thing-
this 30-item limit is just in this same troublesome share.
Before the day gets away from you, ask the network admin to check permissions on this share. Perhaps the 30 files you see are the only ones that you have explicit rights to view.
they may need to ease up on restrictive permissions on this folder/drive.
(Images over a network can be funky, since Mac wants to display a little thumbnail of all those picture files...if you're viewing 'as icons', what happens if you change to 'by list'?...thinking out loud there.)

Default keyboards folder in illustrator CC not showing- no .kys file in apps folder

default keyboards folder in illustrator CC not showing- no .kys file in apps folder, The keyboard shorcuts in Illustrator -Edit-shorcuts, don't show default shortcuts either...should I reinstall Illustrator CC?

If you are on a Mac, then the default keys should be in Adobe Illustrator CSX/Presets/en_US/Keyboard Shortcuts. If it's not there then a reinstall would be in order possibly running the cleaner tool in between.

Remote server view not showing folders or files

My customer uses Dw CS3 with XP SP3. Everything worked fine until their ISP changed their web server. After the change remote site view does not show folders or files although uploading to server works fine with Dw. If I try with Filezilla or any other FTP client everything works normaly. I'm no Dw expert just a sys.admin, but I don't know what settings I should try anymore. I tested this with dw cs 4 also and same problem there.
If I check the FTP LOG from dw it shows the file listing correctly and that I have rights to the folders and files.

Do you know what changed on the FTP server? I would love to know what it is. And if you have been able to solve the issue, then we might be able to provide the steps to reproduce/prevent the problem to Adobe's bug report form.
I have had rather iffy experience with DW's FTP feature with various hosts through the years. Enough so that I only try out DW's FTP when I upgrade, and always resort to using a different FTP client. Although I tend to prefer FTP client software anyway, there are times when it would be convenient to use DW's features.

Preview does not show any postscript files

Preview does not show any .ps files in Mac OS 10.4.3. I get an error message "PostScript Conversion Error" when Preview tries to convert the ps file into pdf.
(I print online banking invoices to postscript using the print option "save as file", because the pdf option isn't always available as a file format.)
How can I view my ps files?
(this is a cross-post from the print/fax forum, as no one answered my question there)

Thanks for the tip. I downloaded Ghostscript, installed it but can't find it once installed and nothing has changed.
I did however find out that only my online banking PostScript files are unreadable. Other PS files I create with my Canon printer menu are automatically converted into PDF by Preview without a problem. So it must have something to do with the document header or whatever of the online banking files.

Some Thumbnail images not showing up in folders? just a icon

Just bought a Brand new Mac with i7 processor. It did not come with Lion installed though. So before doing anything I upgraded to the free Lion update. So here is the issue.
For some reason i cant view preview thumbnail images of some .ARW and .jpg files in some folders, while others I can. I made sure all the "view options" were set and everything. Also moved files to new folders. So here is what I did.
1. Reformated and Reinstalled Snow Leopard and put my .ARW files and the preview thumbnails show up in all folders with no issues. Then I updated to Lion again and now some show and some don't. The funny thing is that now files that did not show thumbnails the first time now does, and some that shown thumbnails now don't. Its different each time I install Lion OS
2. I removed the hidden .DS_Store files in these folders just to make sure those where not effecting it as well, but it did not do anything after a new one appeared.
Whats up with Lion? known bug? I did a search and did not hear about this issue yet? Am I the first lucky one?

I am having similar problems with viewing jpgs in preview / finder in 10.7... but only those that were create by either lightroom or photoshop ( LR 3 / PS CS4) after installing Lion... they preview fine in bridge and every other app.... Just not in Finder etc....
Very annoying!
If anyone has any suggestions, I am all ears.

Some thumbnails do not show up in organizer

I have created a catalog with all my photos. There is a folder listing at the left of the screen. Some of the files in those folders do not appear in the thumbnails. They are all jpg files. If i try to import the files that are missing I am told they are already in the catalog. Still cant see them. I am also having trouble navigating the forums. New to this.

If I understand this correctly, you are reporting that you have images in your Featured News' target frames and some of those photos do not show up in the published site.
If so, I would like you to confirm if the widget works fine in Preview within Muse? Are the images missing in all browsers, even after clearing the browser cache? Can you provide a link to a published site? If required I may also request your source Muse file to investigate further.
Thanks,
Vikas

Existing files on drive connected to latest Airport Extreme do not show up, however files copied over the air to the drive do. Any ideas?

I have the latest Airport Extreme with a Seagate drive connected. I copied files to the drive while it was connected to my MacBook Pro. The files do not show up when connected to the AE, but they appear when connected to the Macbook, Files copied over the network to the drive appear. The drive is formatted HFS+.

After playing with this for the last few days, I found a solution. Under the "Disks" tab in Airport Utility, the "Secure Shared Disks" drop down needs to be set to "With device password". Mine was set to "With acounts", which even after correct authentication, none of the files would appear.
Another interesting note: The files that I could see, the ones I copied over the network, do not appear now. I can copy over new files, and they show up, but the ones copied prior to changing the "Secure Shared Disks" option, do not.

Some videos are semi-missing - they do not show up in File Manager apps or another app

I have what I will call three FILER apps: File Browser, Air Browser and File Commander. I also have MovieSRTPlayer. Those apps appear to not register the presence of some video files that I have definitely copied to my PB. The MovieSRTPlayer will overlay a .srt file's text over a video allowing the pb to show subtitles. It works as long as it can find the video and srt files.
I am definitely transferring a series of video files to the pb's video folder. I am also transferring a companion file to that folder. The companion file is a subtitle file in the form of an .SRT file.
THREE file manager type apps do NOT show those files as present in the video folder. The Video app itself does show and play those video files.
I have copied the files using both wifi-sharing and when they did not show up that way, I copied them using the usb cable to the pb's Z: drive and the video folder.
As stated the dam! files play in the video app. But they do not appear in the various filer apps. And they also do not show in another app, one that will display the subtitle (.srt file) file overlaying the video. In all instances it is as if the pb does not register the presence of those files on the pb.
Now, what is interesting is that when this first cropped up, 7 files were missing - just a mix of video (no .srt files involved). That is they showed in the video app and played but the filer programs did not show them. I managed last night and this morning to get 7 of those to finally show by copying/moving/deleting and recopying. But now I'm running into this brick wall again. I have repeatedly copied two video (avi files) and their companion .srt files to the video folder. They are in that folder (I've looked using usb and wifi-sharing) and they play in the PB's video app. They are most certainly on my pb.
Oh, and yes, I've rebooted a number of times.
Ideas?

I have what I call 3 file manager apps. File Browser, Air Browser and File Commander (the older free version).
They all show or don't show the same thing. So files are missing. And SIZE is not the sole determining factor. When I was testing MovieSRT and "lost" some files I copied and renamed avi and .srt files. So there are two extra .srt files in the Video folder. But while they are 32kb (kilobytes) and 58kb respectively, they do NOT show up in the File managers. The other two identical files with the names matching the .avi files do show up. The one very large mp4 (2gb) does not show up. A subfolder I created just as a test does not show up. But the large mp4 and subfolder were showing up while I was actively copying the 2gb file - they would show up as the file was being copied - the filemanagers showed the file getting larger and larger and while doing so the "missing" subfolder also kept showing up. Then once the large file was completely copied, both it and the subfolder "disappeared" - again, the large mp4 does show in the Video app and it plays.
My persistence probably is based on the fact I was a computer programmer many eons ago! Also, I was trying to get YOUR app to work and the avi files were not showing up in your listing but they were showing and playing in Video app (but no subtitles). Finally, after copying/moving/re-copying over and over including moving and copying to the PB's Print folder (just since it was empty) and copying it back to the video folder (now 2 copies), the files would finally show up. Peculiar - yup!
Oh, one other thing - the 3 file managers all show what I will call the virtual Playbook-Demo video in their listings - your app does NOT show it. Obviously, it is not located in the Video Folder but somewhere in the bowels of the PB. So, the filemanagers are relying on some "file structure" that is not fully correct. But your app does not appear to show it.

Thumbnail images not showing up in my Spry slideshow

Hello - Everything seems to be working in my Spry slideshow. However, my thumbnail images are not showing up in Live view or browser. The images are all in the correct folder. Here is what the script looks like:

Is there something I'm missing?

There is nothing wrong with the markup that you have shown, hence the problem will be located somwhere else.

HDV Print to Video not showing metadata

I'm running Final Cut Studio 2 and a Canon HV20 camcorder. I'm trying to consolidate footage from one tape to a new tape using "Print to Video" but the metadata such as date and time doesn't transfer. It works perfectly when I tested with DV format (consolidating 1 DV to another) but HDV only transfers video and audio with no metadata, and I'm guessing timecode too but I'm not sure. The original tape shows metadata.
I'ved tried with different settings. Captured using HDV Firewire, HDV Firewire Basic, HDV Firewire Basic NDF, AIC and print to video using HDV (1440 x 1080) 60i. They all record to tape fine but no metadata. I've even tried capturing and export to tape using iMovie with the same results (only video and audio with no metadata/timecode). What am I doing wrong?

Nope, I'm not talking about photo EXIF metadata, I'm talking about actual video. If I play DV or HDV tapes on my camcorder the date and time of the recording displays in the lower right hand corner of the LCD screen and the time even changes based upon when it was recorded. I've owned 3 DV camcorders and used friend's and they all do this.
When recording DV or HDV the date and time is registered somewhere. Even the new iMovie '08 will name the clips you import by date and time shot for DV or HDV (ex. clip-2003-02-09 13;57;34.dv).
Again, I can import any DV tape (video) now, export it to another tape, play it and the date and time of when it was recorded is retained, even if I rearrange it's order in iMovie or FCP. This is something I've done for years. I just can't accomplish it with HDV. I'm sure it can be done I just need to see what I'm doing wrong in the chain.
Please don't let my use of the word metadata confuse you that I think it's photo EXIF metadata. I used the word metadata because it just means "a set of data that describes and gives information about other data."
Thanks.

Illustrator cs3 will not show placed .psd files

I changed my computer to a vista based operating system and installed my creative suite 3. Everything was working fine but recently I am having challenges getting illustrator cs3 to show placed .PSD files. They appear to import but do not display. Any suggestions on how to fix this issue would be helpful. I already tried a repair/reinstall of illustrator but that did not work. I can place .psd images into In Design so I am not sure why illutrator is not allowing .PSD files to import and display.

Harron K. Appleman wrote:
Did you upgrade to 64-bit Vista by any chance?
Are your PSD images 16-bit by any chance?
The problem with this scenario is that since Illustrator, any version does not support 16 bit psd files and CS 3 and 4 will place the file anyway but give you a notice that it is placing it as 8 bit. So unless there is something about Vista XP or W7 64 bit that prevents Illustrator fro converting then that is probably not the issue. And though the warning says it flattens it will preserve a transparent background.
So it might be a different issue.
