Download image preview icon error

I have a pacbook pro(mid 2012) purchase os maverick 500 gb  and ram 4gb. free space is 160gb.
if i download an image from internet to my desktop. the image thumbnail shows downloading. I have attached a screenshot too. if i press spacebar it shows a preview error. if i double click it to preview the image opens. but the desktop icon remains the same. This is happening with 50% of the images i download to desktop.
Please help.

The same thing appears to be a latent bug from Tiger -- I am seeing this in 10.4.11, and as Rob notes, it's not always consistent.
What's worse, Rob's suggestion won't work for me... because the "Select New Original..." button is greyed out! I realize this is technically a Leopard thread, but I can't imagine this was deliberately changed between 10.4 and 10.5, so I would think it would be applicable pretty broadly.
Any ideas or suggestions would be very welcome indeed.
Thanks,

  • Alias to Image does not display image preview icon (Regression!)

    I noticed that an alias to an image no longer displays the underlying image preview in the icon, instead you get the standard "JPEG" icon.
    I have turned on icon previews (since other images in the same folder are correctly displayed) and all that. Also if you press Space on the Alias, the fancy Preview window will open and show the correct image. The icon however is dead. I've tested this with many images and with both OS created Aliases and using "ln -s".
    This seems to apply to all kinds of alises that in the past would show the icon of their parent, not only images.
    The alias "arrow" overlay is enough to inform the user that the file is an alias, there is no need to display the standard "JPEG" icon, that is so passé.
    Not very leopardy.

  • How to refresh image preview icons in Finder?

    I often browse through my photos directly in Finder. Many of my photos have been rotated from landscape to portrait format using Preview, but the preview icons I see in my Finder window remain in landscape format. How do I refresh the icons to make them reflect the new, modified image?
    Thanks.

    Hi Saigon Cinnamon, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    I'm not 100% positive, but I think the problem is that Preview & iPhoto only "tag" them as rotated & doesn't actually rotate them.
    I think Finder in 10.5 or 10.6 understand & respects that tag, but not in Tiger.
    I'd try really rotating one & re-saving it in say GraphicConverter...

  • Preview Icons become generic

    When dragging an image file (with a preview icon showing the small representation of that image) is dragged from it's original folder to a new one, the preview disappears and is replaced with a generic "EPS" or "Jpeg" grey icon. Futher, if I get information about the file, the preview picture of the image also shows just a generic file type icon, even though I can see clearly the preview icon. This is so frustrating, as I must then batch process images in photoshop to have a new preview image show up. Extra annoying is that when I browse to the folder using Photoshop the image preview icons are intact...
    To make things even more annoying, the process is inconsistent. If I drag the a eps file from the original folder with the image preview into a new folder, the preview may be missing. If I drag and drag, creating multiple copies of the file in a new folder "hnuewf.eps 1, .2, .3 etc...) almost always one of these attempts will copy correctly, with the preview intact. What the heck is going on!

    OPen the folder where this issue is happening, and use the View menu to choose View Options. Make sure the checkbox next to Show icon previews is checked.
    Hope this helps.

  • Preview Icons Missing after Drag and Drop from Cumulous/Mediadex

    When using Cumulous to drag images from the catalogue to a folder, the image icon reverts to the generic .eps. or tiff or jpg.
    Let me add this this is inconsistent. Some images from the folder retain their icon identity, while others don't. Further, sometimes the preview image will be there, other times the generic, for the same image, if I darg and drop it a few times...
    If copying directly from the original image location folder, the image preview icon is there.
    What is going on? I have rebuilt permissions. Latest OSX, G4 1gz, 1gb ram

    Hi, Lance.
    Well, if my theory is incorrect, then I suggest you discuss this with the folks at Canto or Quark. I use neither product: I was trying to suggest a theory as your question had gone unanswered for some time, and a related question comes up here from time to time re: icon previews and Finder. You may want to be sure you have the latest updates/patches for Cumulus and Quark.
    Both Canto and Quark have their own forums, ala Apple Discussions, so you may want to search them or post your question on such (links in this paragraph are to their forums).
    Canto also has a support form permitting you to submit questions to them: it requires your Cumulus serial number.
    About the only other thing I can suggest is the following, though I'd recommend trying those company-specific forums first. You've not stated the specific version of Mac OS X you are using on the affected Mac ("latest OSX" implies 10.4.4 but knowing the specific version helps). If you also installed QuickTime 7.0.4, that may be an issue. Here's why:
    Sometimes third-party A/V apps that depend on QuickTime (QT) support can become problematic with new versions of QT, at least until the developer has time to make changes to their app corresponding to the changes in the latest version of QT. For situations like that, Apple has been publishing QT Reinstallers that will remove the latest version of QT and reinstall a previous, stable version, such as the "QuickTime 7.0.1 Reinstaller for QuickTime 7.0.4."
    Note that the existence of a Reinstaller corresponding to the current version of QT does not imply the current version has bugs. Rather it is a safety net in case some third-party A/V app has issues with the current version of QT.
    I looked into the Canto documentation a bit and this indicates it does use QuickTime.
    That's about all I can suggest. Perhaps someone else with an identical configuration may have more to add.
    Good luck!

  • Icon instead of image preview in PDF portfolio

    We are creating a lot of PDF portfolio using Acrobat X Pro. Part of files included in these portfolios are simple JPEG images. On one of our machines - the one with Acrobat X Pro installed - we have a problem that inside portfolios these JPEG files are displayed as icons currently associated in Windows with JPEG images. On all other machines these portfolios are displayed correctly, as image previews, but on this one we have these images displayed as icons.
    We tried some standard and some non standard things: Acrobat X Pro reinstall, antivirus software uninstall, JPEG icon association reset, etc.
    What can block these images?

    Hi,
    On my machine the previews are displayed correctly for JPEG files in Portfolios.
    You can repair your Acrobat installation from Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel and see if things work correctly.

  • Wrong preview icon and image in finder

    I recently upgraded my computer - now running snow leopard 10.6.8. I have noticed that when I save files in certain applications (eg. ai CS5 files)  the preview icon in finder windows is not of the application but just a blank page icon instead. Also on the desktop it's just a blank doc page not the ai. icon.
    I have managed to manually alter a few files by clicking and dragging the ai. icon in the Get Info window from the bar to the ai. icon beneath and the application icon does remain then but each new file has the same problem - I don't want to keep altering them manually for every file.
    A second, related (I suppose) problem is that the actual preview image in the finder window is wrong - not the last saved image (or even a previously saved image) but a combination of several turned off layers in the case of ai. files. The preview image is wrong also if opening direct from illustrator CS5.
    Thanks for any ideas.

    Yes this is one of those commands that takes off on it's own.  That is why I specified to let it run it coarse and will put you back out at the prompt when complete.  Sounds like you did it correctly.
    I would advise booting off install DVD and run both Repair Disk and Repair Permissions.

    If you ran the delta update through the Software updater,  I would reinstall the 10.6.8 combo on top of what you have.  Many curious anomaly can be straightened out with this:  http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399

  • How do I download images as actual photos & NOT just jpeg icons in Safari?

    I can not get either Safari or Firefox to download images from websites, e.g. ebay items, as pictures----they only download as jpeg icons with a code name and then have to be opened in another app. In Explorer I used to be able to see the images as actual photos, which helped me when I was searching for a saved item in my files.

    Thanks for your reply. Yes, I do know how to drop and drag photos/images off a website to my desktop, etc. in both Safari and Firefox. But they are only downloaded as jpeg icons, not as thumbnails. So if I save them in my files (I sell on ebay and have always been able to save both the text of sold items in Word and the thumbnails of the photos in Explorer), with Safari or Firefox they are only jpeg icons and in order to see what the thing IS, I have to open it. This means I cannot just look at my saved files and immediately find the item I am looking for by image. I want to be able to save images as thumbnails and NOT as jpeg icons. And, as we all know, Explorer has not been updated for Mac OS.

  • Trying to upload pic's Message error download image issue?

    Trying to upload pic's from Iphone 4 to macbook air. iphoto is sending bcak an error message error downloading image? not able to upload?

    Jeff,
    When I purchased my Dell laptop a year ago it came loaded with Adobe Photoshop Premiere Elements 11 with photo editor and video editor. Since I really have only begun to learn to use the programs, and since I kept getting a message to upgrade now!, I decided to upgrade and learn to use edition 13 from the get-go. What I ordered was Photoshop Elements 13..order nbr AD014688152.
    What is happening is that it downloads okay but when it tries to open in Elements 11 I get the error message that it can't load, wrong type of file.
    My computer op system is Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit). I know I downloaded the 64-bit and not 32-bit. 
    Perhaps I ordered the wrong upgrade?
    I appreciate your help . Let me know if you need additional info.

  • "Error downloading image." message when trying to import movies.

    I recently just about filled up my iPhone 4's memory with videos shot from a family event. I noticed that just before I reached the memory's capacity that the videos started to drop frames then stopped recording.
    When I try to download the videos I get an "Error downloading image." message. I'm running the latest OS and the latest version of iPhoto.
    Any ideas? I hate to have to delete the videos without saving them.
    Thanks!

    Launch Image Capture and see if it can see and download the iPhone's videos to the Desktop. There are some apps, like iPhone Explorer and iPhone Photo Transfer that might be able to download those files to the Desktop,
    You can find them by searching for "iPhone" at MacUpdate.com.
