Generic Image Icons in images after CS5 install

Since I've installed CS5 on my Windows 7 PC, I can no longer view images as thumbnails.  Generic icons show up in every program.....Photoshop, Elements, Word.  No matter which Preview option I choose...Microsoft Windows Viewer, Paint, PSE,, that program's generic icon shows up and not the actual image.  I've downloaded the latest CS5 update and that didn't address the problem.  Any thoughts?  Thanks so much.

Your file types have been associated with PS and Windows is expecting it to produce the thumbnails, which of course doesn#t happen. Check your file associations and set them backj to Windows Picture Viewer...

  • Album artwork changed to "generic" images after trasfer from XP to Win7

    I recentlly got a new Windows 7 pc, and I used a Belkin Easy transfer cable with my old Windows XP pc.
    This transfered all my iTunes songs, but changed the album artwork to generic images, and not the orginal
    artwork.  I've triied get album artwork, but it dosn't change the image.
    Is there a way to remove the artwork?
    Has anyone else had this problem?

    I tried what you recommended and really see no difference. Let me add something that may help. When I installed Thunderbird on the Win 7 PC it did create a profile (but obviously with a different name from the one created on XP). The changes I mentioned making was to point the Win 7 version to use the profile from XP. But I just thought of one thing, on Win 7 the path would use AppData but on XP it would be Application Data. I think that because if does not have the same path names it does not see the Outlook folder. So if the Thunderbird on my Win 7 PC is not fixable, what is the best way to transfer the profile and all my old folders from XP over to Win 7?

  • System reboots continually after CS5 install

    I have a CS5 workstation here that I took out of service a few months ago because it showed signs of OS corruption and possibly a virus. After messing with it for a while I did a bare-metal rebuild, beginning formatting both drives and resetting BIOS to system defaults. The system worked fine for 6-7 hours during Windows installation and configuration, driver DL and update, etc. After I installed CS5 Master Collection, it returned to its prior behavior.
    ASUS M4A88T-M mobo, Athlon II CPU, 8GB RAM, 250GB boot drive, 1TB data drive, crappy ATi mobo graphics with NVidia GTX260 primary, Win7 Home Premium.
    The system boots and gives a login screen, If I do nothing, about 2 minutes later it does a graceful shutdown and restarts. If I log into one of the two user accounts, it finishes loading the desktop before saying "Logging off" and then shutting down and restarting. This was the behavior that caused me to take it out of service (and resisted all attempts at fixing - I couldn't even deactivate CS5 before it would roll over). It will run in safe mode for a little longer (actually, it WOULD before - have not tried it since the rebuild) but selecting "do not restart automatically" at boot time has no effect.
    It's possible that it's a hardware or firmware fault, but the oddity of the system running fine until CS5 was installed points to something changed at a boot/startup/initial configuration level, long before any CS5 app is started.
    I have long since moved on to CS5.5 and CC, but I maintain this system for working on a few shared client projects; I kind of need it back up soon. If no one has any better thoughts I will try a new motherboard and (if needed) another rebuild. Very frustrating...
    ANY ideas on what aspect of CS5 might be causing this, and how to get in and fix it without doing yet another rebuild and another license hit that will likely need a call to Adobe to fix? I think it must be some leftover fragment of Windows installer instructions, trying to finish an installation step and failing out. Or...?

    Found it. It was an unbelievably evasive TDSS bootkit virus that survived a bare-metal format and OS install and showed itself only by chance. Windows Malware Tool beheaded it and TDSSkiller stomped it out. All updates installed, no further problem. The issue, besides what the virus was actively doing, was that it prevented a critical security update from being installed, which created a whole list of other update-related problems.
    By far the nastiest malware I've ever had to deal with. But fixed.
    Kudos to Kaspersky for making the TDDS remover available for free.

  • Cannot resize images after CS5 and CC updates

    I recently installed Photoshop CC and the CC app recently updated  both my own CS6 and CC. I find that I now cannot resize images using the  "image size" dialog. Any changes I try to make in dimension or  resolution are ignored. Has anyone else encountered this problem, or  does anyone have any info which will help me discover what I am doing  wrong? Before, I simply entered the resolution and size I wanted for the  image. Now I cannot .I have tried suggestion here: e.g., deleting pixels when cropping, etc., but nothing seems to work for me.

    Thank you, Mylenium. Just curious... the CS5 update was done before I had
    the CC app. Some CS6 updates were done before I joined the CC (the CS5 in
    my problem subject-line was a type--should have been CS6), and one through
    the cloud. CC, of course, was all updated through the cloud. Am I to
    understand that CC would have done something to my owned, personal version
    of CS5, which has the same problem?
    Not an auspicious beginning with the cloud if complete
    uninstalls/reinstalls are necessary right off the bat. I wonder how often
    this type of problem will occur using the cloud, which obviously now
    monitors my personal version of CS6, as well.

  • Place in Indesign Missing from CS4 after CS5 install

    I have noticed that on two of our macs after installing CS5 that the Place in Indesign command in CS4 bridge is no longer appearing in the list anymore, all other choices are there, Does anyone have a fix for this. - thanks!

    From another Forum Gabe Harbs was so kind to provide a solution with a script that needs a little modification. Here is his message:
    Gabe Harbs wrote:
    Here’s a Bridge script (that I wrote over a year ago) which adds a context menu to relink the selected file to the currently selected frame in InDesign.
    You install the script in: App Support > Adobe > Startup Scripts [Version] > Adobe Bridge.
    It would be a pretty simple task to modify the script to place the file instead of relinking...

    It's not possible to include a jsx or zip file on this forum, I therefor placed it on Rapid Share, it will not stay there forever so just check it out ASAP

  • Why do I have duplicate icons of Safari after Lion install?

    I recently installed Lion and later found out that Safar, DVD Player, Photobooth, and Preview all have duplicate icons. One seems to be the older version while the other is the newer version with the new Full screen feature. Just to note, all those apps were in folders before I installed Lion but now I can't even take them out of the folder. I says I can't modify or delete them since OSX needs them. what do I do?

    I had the same problem.  Then I went into my applications folder and found older versions for the same app; i.e. Pages and Keynote.  Once I deleted the older versions, (this does not delete anything you created from them since they would transfer to the most recent version) I went into Launchpad and saw that the old icon's were gone.  Pretty simple procedure. 

  • Hilarious!! After CS5 install Flash Player crashes all the time

    Hi,
    maybe Steve Jobs is right. Mac Pro 10.6.3, 12 GB RAM, 3 GHz 8-cores, everything is running peachy.
    I install CS5 Premium Design Trial, while installing asks me to quit Safari and Firefox. It install Flash Player 10.1.
    Now Safari crashes ALL the time. Multiple sites, NYTimes, HuffPost, etc.etc.
    I wonder why Adobe is doing everything possible to make SJ right.
    De-install, back to old Flash, seems to work.

    They probably packaged it before the latest release candidate was ready.
    Anyway - it would be better to discuss that problem in a CS5 forum - is there one?

  • Project not opening after CS5 Install

    So I built a project in CS4, opened it in CS5, saved it as a different name, restarted and all I get is the Comp inside the Project box. Nothing happens when I click on the project in either CS4 or 5 now. Any ideas? Thanks

    A project that you created in After Effects CS4 is not opening in either After Effects CS4 or After Effects CS5?
    If so, please send the project with a bug report to aebugs -at- adobe -dot- com.

  • Icons missing even after re-install?

    When I go to "new project" there are no icons in the box on the right. I've tried re-loading iLife but it still has no icons. I'm in 6.0.5 so I have the latest update. Help?
    Pam

    Pam,
    do you mean, the templates "Piano", "Electric Guitar", ...
    Check your System Library. All the templates for the new projects should be installed in the folder
    Your Macintosh HD > Library > Applications Support > GarageBand > Templates
    The "Templates" folder either may be missing or have a permissions problem, so you cannot read it.
    If the files are missing, restore them from your backup, or reinstall GarageBand. How did you "reload iLife"?

  • Cannot Create PDF after CS5 install (MAC)

    I haven't tried every app, but so far ID, PS, and Illustrator only show my previous Acrobat 9 as an option to print a PDF file. When I use this option, nothing happens. If a file is created I have no idea where it is, since I never get to the point of being able to name it or give it a destination.  Can anyone help me get Acrobat X working?
    On a Macbook Pro...

    Sounds like Acrobat X might not have been installed, but I'm not sure that's relevant.  What version of Mac OS? Since Snow Leopard print to PDF no longer works the way it used to. See InDesignSecrets » Blog Archive » Acrobat’s Adobe PDF Printer Replaced in Snow Leopard
    For Exporting PDF, the recommended methos to creat PDF from ID, or to save PDF directly from Photoshop or Illustrator, Acrobat is not involved at all. You should tell us exactly waht you are doiing, and waht error messages, if any, you see, as well as waht you expect to happen, and waht happens instead.

    > im positive the plug in is in the right place
    Hmmmm. Does the path to that place begin at the root level, i. e. with the NameOfYourHardDisk?
    If it begins with "YourUsername", it's in the wrong folder.
    CORRECT:
    NameOfYourHardDrive//Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-ins/CS2/File Formats/
    From the "Debugging" thread in the ACR forum:
    The new location for Adobe Camera Raw 3.x is:
    Mac: /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Plug-ins/CS2/File Formats/
    Note: that the Library folder referred to above is that found at root level and NOT the User/Library folder.

  • Resizing of images after FCP update not working. When I try to resize, It resizes a blank transparent image.

    I am having trouble resizing images after I installed the FCP update. When I press the transform button, and then click on teh image, I go to the little blue dots on the side of the image that usually resize the image, and when I drag them out, instead of the image resizing, a black trasparent rectangle the same size as the photo expands outward to my desired size. This has happened to me before the update when trying to resize text, but the problem usually fixed itself once I clicked again on the text line in the editing section.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Russ,
    It doesn't work that way either, however it's okay because I solved the problem. Turns out I had to select 'add keyframe' on either the 'crop' or 'distort' tabs and it fixes itself. No idea why but the problem is solved! Thanks for your help anyhow.

  • What to do with all the disks left on my computer after application install

    I have been using the Mac for a year now (very happy overall), but am still a bit confused by what exactly the whole disk icon left over after an install is about. And then what about the .dmg and .pkg scene?
    After I install a new application I have the icon of a disk with their name under it left on my desktop. It appears as a drive or partition would. Do I want to save these in case I need to re-install at some point? Can I burn them onto a CD or DVD?
    I can drag .dmg files to a folder to store them, but not the disk icon's.
    And why do some app's give you .dmg or .pkg files to open and others automatically put the little disk icon?
    Thanks for any help in clearing this up for me.

    The "disk icons" that appear when you double click a .dmg file can simply be "ejected" or "unmounted" by dragging them to the trash which will transform into an eject icon just like the one you see when you eject any other mounted volume (a CD, DVD, USB drive, etc.). The .dmg file itself should be saved for future use (if you need to re-install or access the files contained therein). Also, if the .dmg file contains anything you paid for, you will also have some sort of "key code" that should be saved along with the .dmg file. Where and how you save these are up to you. Once you have extracted the files from the .dmg and copied them to some location on your HD (the Applications folder for example) moving the .dmg file will have no effect.
