Disappearing Content

Bridge has suddenly lost many of the thumbnails and sub-folders in the Contents panel - they do not appear when I click on a folder in the Folder panel. The files still exist on the computer. There seems no reason why some folders or files may be present, and others not. It affects jpegs, whole folders, and RAW files. When I click in the empty area of the contents pane, the image appears in the preview pane, than Bridge crashes.

I purged the cache before building and exporting it.
Bridge is CS3 2.1.1.9
Mac OS X 10.4.11
Files are .CR2 or .NEF or .jpg depending on which camera I have used.
I've googled and Wikipaediaed ACR but don't know what it is or whether I have it at all, Sorry!
I have recently changed a heap of file names because although my Mac accepts them, I don't believe a PC will, and I was trying to standardise everything to future-proof my system. My backup external hard-drive is not Mac-based, but has accepted almost all of my file names to date.
Reset workspace and use the refresh button F5 key. - Done. No change.
Copy files from 1 folder to a brand new folder and try again. - Done. They are shown in the new folder!
If I have to do this with all my folders, it will be rather time-consuming... but my main concern is that the jpegs will then be a copy and will have lost some quality.
Quit Bridge and go to the user library preferences folder. Inhere find the
Bridge plist file and drag this to the trash. Then in the same library go to
the caches folder caches/Adobe/Bridge(your version number with it) and in
here you find a cache folder (this one can grow to huge proportions
depending on file size, preview quality and amount of files you use). Grab
this folder and drag it to the trash (or elsewhere outside the library if
you want to be able to put it back.)
Then restart bridge again with option key and choose again refresh
preferences. Reset Bridge to your wishes and point to a folder to try again.
- Done the trick. All the thumbnails appear to be there now, and there is a new folder in library/caches/adobe/bridge, of the same size as the previous one.
Thank you for your very specific and prompt help - is there anything I can do to stop it happening again?

  • Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard v8.2.5 Disappearing Content Issue

    We are seeing a very strange behavior in PDFs generated converting a web page using using Adobe Standard 8.  It appears that the PDF was generated properly, but as soon as we start scrolling or switching windows, the content of the PDF disappears.  The behavior is observed on Windows XP, SP3 machines but we are unable to reproduce the issue.  It just happens...  Any advise would be much appreciated.

    This issue has been resolved. I had to uninstall the 8.3.0 from the machines and then patch the machines again with Adobe Acrobat v8.2.6 before patching the systems again with v8.3.0.
    Since Adobe Acrobat quaterly patches are not cumulative, you have to install the patches in order.....8.25 --> 8.2.6 -->8.3.0.
    Thanks,

  • Apple should start to listen to customer issues with disappearing content.

    There are many threads with users experiencing missing downloads of tv shows. There is clearly something going on apples side here and really disappointed that no one has come forward and stated that we are aware of an issue and hope to have it fixed asap. Considering how many people purchase products for apple tv the response should by apple should be better. tech support telling people such as myself to do a complete restore of apple tv is not acceptable which i did just in case. the issue still remains. i advise people to hold off purchasing content for tv shows until an answer is provided. wasted enought time on this matter and still a fan of apple but patience is wearing thin. i realize that this forum is not answered by apple but feel that apple does read these posts and would love to keep the revenue coming in for itunes as it avoids piracy among other things.

    I've never had any content disappear,
    I had it happen once, around the time we first got itunes store access in UK on AppleTV - everything inexplicably deleted from AppleTv not just some things.
    Fortunately the purchase I'd made a few hours before had synced to iTunes.
    I really feel there are a couple of weaknesses with the model for media purchase on AppleTV:
    1 - Things inexplicably disappear for some users - it MAY be user error in some instances - but if that's the case there is clearly no safety net warning in either iTunes or on the TV that the user is doing something that might cause the problem otherwise they'd remember.
    If you've purchased content and it disappears before it's synced back to iTunes or been watched, you're going to take some persuading to part with your cash again in this manner.
    2 - 'Reverse syncs' of purchases need to be avilable manually for AppleTV, possibly by a drag and drop within iTunes to override instances when the user has set up the wrong type of library, or the sync library fails to reverse sync content. Without being to move content back from AppleTV the user cannot use on other devices or make backups - a very unsatisfactory user experience, even if it only affects a few.
    Movies/video with DRM are protected anyway, so what's the problem?
    For iTunes plus material all that would be needed would be for the user perhaps to confirm their iTunes store credentials to allow the reverse transfer to happen to prevent opportunistic copies being made by nefarious individuals or those who have come into possession of stolen or 2nd hand AppleTVs.
    I have found to date that iTunes Store invariably are quite helpful with any purchases that develop issues, but it is not guaranteed they'd allow redownloads etc, and it takes so little to put consumers off a service when it doesn't live up to expectations.

  • Publishing problem! Disappearing content...

    Would appreciate any assistance.
    I am trialing DW CS3 on new desktop using Vista Business. My
    ISP has provided al the remote info and connection is working and
    my site has been properly defined.
    My problem begins just seconds after i upload. It does not
    matter if i upload one page or an entire site. Within seconds of
    the upload arriving at the remote server the entire content
    disappears leaving just the file name with no size, ie index.html
    0kb. Images also become 0kb within seconds of arriving at the
    remote site.
    I am certain it is a vista problem as i have an older slower
    lap top running xp and i have no problem with DWCS3 when using this
    machine.
    Regards
    Gary

    suggestion- try enabling Passive FTP in this site definition.

  • AppleTV Disappearing Content

    I have the same issue - bloody annoyed!
    I downloaded: Entourage series 3a/b, Prime Suspect Series 3,4,5 onto Apple TV and watched them; my server was turned off and not syncing at that time as we were having the room decorated. As soon as the sync re-started when I turned-on the server, all of the additional content disappeared...In itunes it created a 'Entourage series three icon and listed all of the content grey-ed out - it never completed the sync and all of the content purchased on AppleTV was lost - this keeps happening to a lot of people sort it out.

    http://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.html
    I understand your frustration, but we're only AppleTv users here, not Apple support.
    Send feedback to link above as this problem is unacceptable. You won't get a reply.
    In iTunes log into your account, go to your purchase history and 'Report a Problem' for the shows you've lost - express your frustration by all means but bear in mind the guys who'll handle this are not developers and are simply customer support to try and sort things out for you. With a bit of luck they'll re-enable downloads, but I suggest you download them direct to itunes.

  • Disappearing content in a table

    Hello All,
    I have been adding to a course syllabus week by week in
    Dreamweaver 8. The syllabus is in a table, centered, with a
    repeating background image. Recently the bottom part of the
    syllabus, along with the table including it, fluctuates between
    being visible and invisible when in 100% design view. If I run the
    mouse over the edge of the table, it will sometimes reveal content,
    sometimes not. If I scroll up, the content reveals again, only to
    disappear if I scroll back down. (If I jump up to 150% view,
    everything shows as it regularly should.) It also appears fine in
    several different browsers, both when I preview and when I upload
    to my server and view live. I have tried cleaning up Word HTML, yet
    the problem remains. It is WAY weird, particularly since the code
    is all there, intact, yet you can't see all the content at 100%
    view. I have tried copying and pasting into a new table in a new
    file, without the repeating image, yet the bottom content is still
    invisible in 100% view.
    Any ideas?
    -confused in Honolulu, and much appreciative of any insight .
    . .

    You are on a Mac, and your page is VERY long?
    Try making your design view zoom setting 99% or 101% and see
    what happens.
    Better - break your very long page into several shorter ones.

  • Disappearing Content Window in A3

    I am running the trial version of A3 and there is one serious flaw that I have - when scrolling, the content window begins to go to white - disappears as I scroll. Happens in the Metadata tab, the Adjustments tab and the viewer\split view. This problem does not happen in full screen mode. Has anyone else seen this behavior? I have repaired permissions and re-installed from a new download. Advice is appreciated.

    You are not alone. I too cannot edit my home page.  All other pages edit fine.  Here is the home page. http://www.audiofilesolutions.com.
    Here is how a subpage looks in CS4 & CS5 when editing.
    And here is how the corrupted home page looks.
    As you can see, all the text and content goes away except for the dropdown menus and links at the top and bottom.  As I mentioned, this occurs in both CS4 and CS5 trial versions of Contribute.  When trying File/Edit in external application which is notepad on my system, sometimes the text is formatted and coherant (like when you open View Source in IE8) and other times notepad opens up as all text, no spaces, or formatting of any kind--looks like a garbled mess.
    Any help is appreciated.

  • Auto disappearing content using Refresh header?

    Hi,
    We're pushing a CiscoIPPhoneExecute to a phone. The phone requests the page (CiscoIPPhoneText) in the execute request.
    The requested page needs to allow the user to respond to a question. If the user doesn't answer to the question, the question should disappear.
    Can we cause the page to disappear after a set amount of seconds? I've tried a Refresh with url 30; Init:Services, but this doesn't work.
    Does anyone have an idear on how to make the page disappear after x seconds?
    Regards,
    Erik

    Erik,
    Hi! I'm having the same issue but I'm sure I'm doing right. I mean, HTTP-REFRESH is working as expected with IP Communicator but not within the physical device: Cisco 7960G Firmware: 8.0(9.0).
    The device responds with: "HOST NOT FOUND" and after more tries it finally stays with the prompt message: "HTTP ERROR[12]".
    I'm also implementing a feature similar to yours: like a pop-up window.
    Which device/firmware are you using?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Disappearing content area in edit view

    Hello,
    In contribute, the content of my page dissapears when I click to "edit page." My other pages work fine when I click to edit, it is just one page that the content dissapears.  Any ideas of how to get that back?
    Below is the page before I click "edit page". The second image is what happens to the page after I click "edit page." I loose the data/text in the middle of the page that I need to change.

  • Disappearing content MS Office 2003 Acrobat 9 Pro

    After upgrading to Acrobat 9 Pro from Acrobat 8 Pro, a lot of PDF documents created from Microsoft Office 2003 had missing paragraphs. This happened in Microsoft Word.
    The problem did not happen when creating the PDF files through the print driver. Rather, it happened when creating the documents through the "Add-In" where folks can click in a toolbar or "Adobe PDF > Convert to Adobe PDF" from a menu.
    The solution was to turn off the "Enable Accessibility and Reflow with tagged Adobe PDF" option.

    I can  suggest to  try  this  one:
    Found that the file, PDFMOutlook.dll, is the culprit for many of your longstanding woes with the toolbar. A common way to eliminate the toolbar is to unregister the dll. This can be done by going to Start > Run and typing the following:
                  regsvr32 /u “C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\PDFMaker\Mail\Outlook\PDFMOutlook.dll”
    While this indeed does get rid of the toolbar, it’s not a recommended method as it basically just keeps the file from being loaded when you start Outlook. To  return  the PDFMaker on the  toolbar  I’ll recommend that you re-register the dll file. To  re-register the file, simply go to Start > Run and type the following:
                  regsvr32 “C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\PDFMaker\Mail\Outlook\PDFMOutlook.dll”

  • Disappearing content in glyphs panel

    I am using InDesign CS3 and make huge use of the Glyphs panel for accented characters in French, Spanish, etc. Yesterday I opened this panel to convert some French and to my dismay found no glyphs in the display at all, and all the commands blanked out in the menus. I closed down and relaunched the application and when that did not work, I tried restarting Windows. Still no glyphs! If I were running a Mac I would trash Preferences and see if that worked, but this is a Windows XP machine (1 gig of RAM) at work. This panel was fine a few days ago.
    I have not installed anything new to this computer recently and stay current with InDesign updates. Any ideas?

    Hey, I didn't know you could do that in Windows! :) But I found out how to do it (close the program, start it up again and quickly hold down ctrl-alt-shift) and it worked --thank you so much! Because not only my glyphs went missing, so did my strokes, character (the general one, not the custom), and a few others!
    So thanks again for pointing me in the right direction, because I am working on Swedish now and was moaning and groaning about dragging in those characters from Character Map. :)

  • PDF content disappears during tagging process

    Have PDF document but no source document.  Automatic tagging step ("Add tags to document") in Acrobat 9 Pro causes some of the content (some but not all Paths) to disappear from the page visually and from the Content panel, and changes the positioning of some but not all of the text content.  Observation of the Content before tagging does not reveal any special feature of the Paths that disappear.  I am experienced in the use of the TouchUp Reading Order tool, but have not tried much manual tagging yet in this document.
    Any suggestions about what might be wrong, and a work-around?
    Especially useful would be a way to modify the content before auto tagging, because the work-arounds that we have considered so far are labor-intensive and error-prone.  (E.g., conversion of each problem page to an image, then using OCR to identify text content.)
    This problem is not identical to another problem with disappearing content, namely, occasional visual disappearance of content upon creation of artifacts.  In that case, the content generally has not disappeared from the Content panel, but is hidden on the visual page by content that is rendered later.  The solution is to move the artifact objects in the Content panel, so that they are listed first on the page and are rendered first.

    Jasmin,
    ]yes, when i open it in browser then i dont face this issue. but when i open not in browser then it is showing error.
    I have added entire features of reader extension but still i get this error message.\

  • 16gb micro SDHC on E90 - data loss

    Hi there,
    My 16gb Sandisk Micro SDHC which I was using on my Nokia E90 was alright till yesterday. This morning when I browse my memory card, I cant see any of my data on it. All I can see is the default folders "Documents, Images, Other, Sound clips & Video clips" which are empty, and few unrecognized files named with special characters on the root. The annoying thing is when I check the card details, it show 7gb as used space. I am able to put new data on it, tried copying a file from phone memory to memory card and it worked fine. Checked it on my PC too, shows the same contents as the phone do. Properties of the drive shows 7gb as used space, but the properties of the contents shows just around 50KB. Even nothing found in hidden mode.
    What happened to my memory card? Will I be able to retrieve my data back?
    Kindly share your ideas...
    Many thanks...
    sreegonu

    ....contd.....
    For other purposes, 've installed FExplorer today on my phone and to my surprise, few of the disappeared contents are shown on FExplorer, and those contents which are explored on it are now appearing directly on phone's File Manager. But the other items are still not found and the storage still shows 7gb data is on it. And those files like things with special characters cannot be deleted. Even the options menu doesnt work for them.
    please help...!

  • Creating folios for Android

    Dear Adobe Community,
    before I get this started:
    I'm using the InDesign CS6 Digital Publishing Suite,
    running on a Professional Subscription
    and I'm not a native speaker. So please have mercy with me ;-)
    Some time ago, I created ten folios via a multi-folio app with in-app purchases for the Apple iStore, ran into some issues (which were solved by Bob Bringhurst, thanks again) and now I want to expand to Android. The creation itself was easy, the folios are already online, but not without running into some major issues.
    To specify my problem:
    The starting screen doesn't fit. It just takes as many room as possible and pushes about a third out of the screen. Is there a "Fit Into Screen"-checkbox, I've missed?
    The graphics look "rough", bare pixels in a kind of 8-bit-look without the soft edges (or feathers), even though they're PDF. I can't convert them to JPEG, because I'm using the same folios as I do for Apple.
    The fading effects of all overlays are also rough. The slideshows, for example, are punching through their content, without letting the pictures fade out into the next. Maybe it's important to mention: They were created via the slideshow-option in the Folio Overlay-menu. The same problem occurs with every appearing and disappearing content. For example: If you activate a map with a button (i.e. telling the app, to switch the object from the empty status 1 to the filled status 2), the app takes a second and the map pops up hard, smashing into the window from one moment to another, without the smooth fade in like it does on Apple products.
    And after a while, about a minute or two, the app finally crashes, leaving the customer stuck for a moment, before ejecting him to the main screen of his / her device.
    So far, that's my problem. Honestly, I feel like I missed some easy but necessary step for the expansion to Android. Right now, the folios look like some pre-alpha-release an Android (with dull graphics and crashes every 60 seconds), while they work fine and smooth on Apple.
    For any hint, I would be grateful.
    Bis denn from Germany,
    Maximilian

    It worked. The native viewer is working smoothly.
    One last problem remains, by the way. It's not necessery for me to be solved, but maybe someone else will one day make a use of this:
    A two time-object state-button isn't working on Android and Amazon Kindle. For example: I want a drop down-menu to appear in two states, a grey shadow (state 1), which turns into the menu (state 2). This feature is working fine on iOS, but on Android it stucks at state 1. Is the performance of the device not strong enough, to manage this? I can't solve it via the animation tool, because that won't work on Apple devices.
