File icon on thumbnail is blank

hello,
so i made the transition from PS CC to PS CC 2014, and when i uninstalled PS CC, this happened to my thumbnails:
http://i.imgur.com/hqGU83e.jpg
it used to show the psd file type icon when i was browsing in the thumbnail view
(when im in icon view, the icons are not blank though, they show the PSD file type icon correctly)
tried numerous installs and uninstalls of the 2 versions of CC (both 2014, and not 2014)
and the icon wont come back (even did icon cache rebuilds, several times)
it's not the end of the world problem, but its annoying and ugly
anyone has a solution?

The ! or ? turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
The most common cause of this is User Activity in the iPhoto Library Folder. Have you altered, moved or renamed anything in the iPhoto Library Folder?
If you haven't, then try rebuilding the database. Hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys and launch iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
Another way of rebuilding the database is to use iPhoto Library Manager .
If none of these work, it seems likely that you have a corrupted library file. In this case you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same film rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library Folder to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual rolls to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • My illustrator CS3 saved file icon shows as a blank white square?

    This is really odd. I store all my AI files in one folder. When I first open the folder, the lovely orange AI icons representing each file all change to white squares (actually they're in portrait or landscape view depending on how the file was saved). If I then drag one of these white .ai files onto the desktop, the icon very briefly appears again then changes back to the white square. Same thing happens when I drag the file back into its folder. The files open and close normally, and save normally. If I do a 'get info' on them they show up as normal .ai files. It seems as if something is 'overriding' the icon. My old illustrator CS files all show the old CS icon. I know it's not an earth-shattering problem, but I'd really like to solve it. Can you help?

    Hi Simon,
    First, "Get Info" on your Illustrator application. If it's not named "Illustrator.app", add the ".app" to the name.
    If that doesn't solve it, it's probably be a LaunchServices issue. Rebuild your LaunchServices database, either with OnyX orLaunch /Utilities/Terminal and copy & paste this at the command line:
    Code:
    <pre class="alt2" style="margin:0px; padding:3px; border:1px inset; width:640px; height:34px; overflow:auto">/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/\Frameworks/LaunchServi ces.framework/Support/lsregister \-kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user</pre>
    Then press return. After that, log out and back in or restart. Let us know

  • CR2 file icons not always showing thumbnail image depending on view.

    I have some CR2 files which behave oddly. Some show an icon which is a thumbnail of the image when in list view but a blank icon when in icon view? While others show a blank icon in both list and icon view?
    Doing a get info and they all show a preview image and quick look displays the image, it is just the icons in icon view which are blank.
    Is this something that can be fixed?
    Phil

    Yes it can, as I have found out!
    I opened the folder which contained files which were displaying a plain icon when in Icon View. I then selected from the View Menu 'Show View Options', it was here that I discovered the check box for 'Show Icon Preview' which in this case was unchecked. When I checked this box the blank icons changed to a preview.
    So problem solved.
    Thanks to myself.

  • Acrobat Pro 9 - Disable thumbnail preview in PDF file icons on Desktop

    After upgrading to Acrobat Pro 9, the file icons of PDF files on my Windows 7  desktop changed to showing a thumbnail preview. I want to get the standard PDF file icon back for all PDF files. Can someone please tell me how?
    Thanks.

    Did you ever find an answer for this??? I had the same issue and was searching for an answer. I saw this and since I fixed mine I thought I would tell you what I did. Also, in case someone else finds this and needs an answer.
    Opened Windows Explorer -> Tools -> Folder Options
    Go to the View tab
    Check "Always show icons, never thumbnails"
    Hit Apply
    All your PDF files on your desktop should now show with the generic PDF icon.
    Reverse this to get the preview icon "thumbnails".

  • HT3386 How do you remove part of a file. My thumbnail attach themselves then refuse to allow editing without deleting my complete work. I even scan in jpegs of my documents and it incessantly adds blanks I can't remove.

    How do you remove part of a file. My thumbnail attach themselves then refuse to allow editing without deleting my complete work. I even scan in jpegs of my documents and it incessantly adds blanks I can't remove.

    Pages documents are organized in sections. When you click on the thumbnail for a page, the section containing that page is selected. The Delete command applies to the selection, so if you press delete at this point, the selected section is deleted.
    You can separate a section into two or more sections by inserting a section break at the end of the page before the page you want ot be the first in the new section, then inseritng a second section break where you want the second section to end. Click on the thumbnail for any page in the new section, thenpress delete and the new section will be deleted.
    If desired, you can then reconnect the two remaining sections into one by deleting the section break between them.
    An alternate is to select any floating objects on the pages you want to delete, then press delete. After that, select the text on the pages you want to delete, then press delete.
    If all objects on these pages (and al objects on pages following these pages) have been placed as Inline objects, this deletion may be done in a single step. Floating objects placed below the deleted material will maintain their position relative to the top left corner of the first page of the section,m and will not be in the same place within the text as they were before the deletion.
    "I even scan in jpegs of my documents and it incessantly adds blanks I can't remove."
    If your jpegs are inserted as inline objects, each will be treated as a single, large character in the text. You will see the same space left and right of the object as you would create by increasing the height of one character in the line of text to the same size as the height of the jpeg image.
    If they are inserted as floating objects, then depending on the Wrap settings, they may force text out of the space to the left, right, or both sdes of the object, as well as forcing a small gap above and below the object. If the scan includes excess white space around the graphic, this white space will be included as part of the object

  • InDesign files take long to open when clicking file icon

    Ok, I have a weird problem with a Windows XP machine running InDesign CS6. Whenever the user tries to open an .INDD document by double-clicking the file icon itself, it takes 3-5 minutes, literally, before the document will open. This is with InDesign running already. It happens with .indd files on servers, locally on the desktop, files with content & links, and even completely new & blank documents.
    However, if the user simply drags the file into InDesign, it will open up right away. No problem.
    This behavior is not being seen on other WinXP machines, nor is it being seen when trying to open other documents in other applications (i.e. MS Word) on this particular computer.
    Any ideas? This machine had Windows XP and Adobe CS6 reinstalled from scratch yesterday.
    Thanks!
    William

    Sad that this issue was never addressed or responded to, for I am having the same exact problem with InDesign CS5.5 and with files located on a network server. I tried the above suggestion of dragging the file directly into InDesign but that doesn't work everytime.

  • Please Help - PDF File icon No longer working???

    Ok this may sound a bit wierd, but bare with me.  Ok so I just got a new laptop because my old one was going a little wonky..... long story short, it's gone.  So I was transfering some pdf files that I had backed up to an external drive onto my new system.  Both systems are running on Windows 7 Ultimate.  So in a folder I have a number of PDF's stored.  When I open the folder I see all the files, but they all look the same, they all have the default Adobe reader icon.  This is fine, but I would much rather have my old view back.  I used to open the folder and see all of the Covers of the books that are in the pdf's.  How can I get the covers to show as the file icon again as oposed to the Adobe file icon?  There has to be something that I'm missing.  Sorry to have rambled on. I look forward to hearing your sugestions.

    Thanx for the suggestion.  I did the steps that i found on google to create the enable/disable thumbnail option and changing it to enable, i can tell it has changed to enable because other file types show the thumbnails but the pdf files are still not showing.

  • How to show rating dots and file name underneath thumbnail in Bridge CS4 preview workspace?

    How to show rating dots and file name underneath thumbnail in Bridge CS4 preview workspace?

    Thank you! That was it. The option to change it is not available in preferences (though I believe it was in early CS versions). It's hidden in a dropdown menu associated with an icon at the top. It sure wasn't easy to find, and I probably would not have done so without your lead. Thanks again!

  • Flashing File Icon with Question Mark Upon Start-Up

    Today when I went to use my computer (which was already on) it went blank and then came up with a gray screen with a flashing file icon with a question mark in the middle of it. I have already troubleshot things with several forums online and nothing has worked. I have tried to restart in Safe mode, single user mode, verbose mode, and tried to get on using my option key which got me to an internet login screen finally. I tried to log in and eventually got to an apply.com/support screen with -1007f underneath. I am not 100% which operating system I am on. I know that it is Mac OS X and pretty recent. Please respond if you can help!

  • My Illustrator file icons don't match what the actual file image is. How can I fix this?

    I'm using Illustrator 5.0 with MAC OS 10.8.4 and the Illustrator file icons are different thatn the actual file image. It's using the same image for 5 different files. THey all started out the same, but I edited them and then did a save as, but the file icon image didn't update. How can I fix this? I tried resaving the files and copying the files, but it didn't work.
    Thanks
    Michelle

    Are you on CS5 or the very old AI5, which a few vinyl cut shops may have?
    Do a save as , and enable PDF Compatible. That usually helps if the icons are blank, but may help you.
    If that don't help do a command I on the file, select the icon, and hit the delete key to see if anything happens.

  • Inconsistent and incorrect file icons in finder window list view

    I have been seeing incorrect file icons in finder windows noteably for PDF files the last couple of weeks on my office MacMini running 10.5.8. Some just look messed up. Some switched and looked like Evernote files, but they open correctly in the default application - Preview.
    Get info would show the same incorrect icon, but correctly show Preview as the default application.
    Just now I tried clicking on CoverFlow view and when I went back to List view, the icons looked correct again.
    What type of system maintenance if any is needed to correct this issue? Note, these files continue to display correctly on my home iMac where these files are synced.
    AndrewML

    Thanks for the reply Baltwo.
    I followed your directions. After the restart the PDF icons were all displayed correctly.
    However, some .doc file icons were blank. Selected one, got info, set it to open with MSWord and then clicked "apply to all." Most, but not all now display the Word logo. Some remain blank, although get info reveals they are set to open with Word. Will another restart fix this or is there another suggestion?
    I will be away from this computer till Monday.

  • File icons in exported folders

    On a Mac You are used to have small thumbnailpictures ( file icons ) in the folders. When you work on a picture in photoshop and save it it has the small pictures. In Capture One You can choose to make the icons when exporting (developing). In Aperture You also get the file icons, but with LR all you get is a jpeg-symbol. I know this perhaps is a minor thing because you can se se and browse the pictures in the library. I also know it is something windows users never had. But I like to look at a folder without to open a program and get an overview. Is there somewhere in the preferences I have overlooked, or is is something that belongs to the past ?
    Jan Herrstedt

    The preview icons are there, but it is not SMALL PICTURES Alike those embedded in the thumbnail
    You have to set the finder "View options" accordingly ...
    To be clear, I don't mean the icon of the Preview.app but actual small previews of the images. And theses are not embedded thumbnails, but created by the Finder on the fly. So to answer your original question: Lightroom does not embed thumbnails in exported jpegs (I guess to keep the file size down), but the Finder does not need them to show a preview of the image as its icon.

  • Files and extensions thumbnails

    Hello Experts,
    I installed fresh copy of yosemite, and after the installation I  have changed the default app for files but the thumbnail of the old app sticked on the files, so how i can make the new app appear on thumbnail?
    I know the procedure of using ctrl + I on the files and change the icon, but i want to do it for all files of the same extensions at once.
    Thx for your help.

    Patrick,
    All I can recommend for CM purposes is what was done at a previous job of mine.
    1. First you need to keep all of the installed Oracle products to include all patches you installed. Our CMs made an Oracle_817 staging area and had sub-directories for the install CD and all patches. An ls might look like this:
    Disk_1
    Patch_1234567
    Patch_1327654NOTE: The patch numbers are made up and for an example only.
    2. If you have a create_db script, you will need to place that in CM. I don't have access to a unix system right now, do a find for create and you should be able to locate the scritp
    3. I would put tnsnames.ora into CM as well. It can be in two places /$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin or /etc
    4. I would put listener.ora file into CM. It is usually found in /$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
    5. I would put the init<SIS>.ora file into CM. It should be in /$ORACLE_HOME/dbs
    6. Finally, search /etc for all files owned by Oracle and place them into CM
    These are all of the files I can think of. If anyone else knows of other files, please feel free to add them.
    If you are placing these items into CM to help build another DB at a later time, the service name for the new DB should be changed. If you are doing this as a means of recovery, I can tell you from experience that this will take hours to days to recover the database. Get with the sysadmin and make sure you have a good backup and recovery plan and that it works.
