Get Info not showing Thumbnail

FCS Newbie (1.5.2). When opening the 'get info' panel on an asset, it doesn't show the thumbnail above the metadata on the upper left side of the panel. It's not that big of a deal, but I want to make sure this isn't an indication of other problems with my db.
How I got here: I installed the application and created the database on my startup drive to kick the tires (production media and proxy media folders and associated bundles). I then moved these folders and bundles to an external drive and updated the devices in admin preferences panel. Everything seems to work fine except for the thumbnail showing up. I also noticed that the 'resources' tab of the 'get info' panel doesn't show any path for the primary representation 'library' device. (see image below) Is this a problem?

The assets do load correctly. It turned out to be a custom metadata group issue. I recreated my custom metadata group and made sure "Show Thumbnail:" was checked. It had been checked in the previous one, but somehow jiggling the handle made it display properly.
Also, there is no path shown for the primary representation "library" device because I'm saving everything to the base level with no folder structures (I warned you I was a newbie).
Everything is working as expected. Thanks for your help!

DNG files created with LR4 do not show thumbnails

Hi,
When using LR3 to create DNG files from my RAW files, those files would show me thumbnails of my image in Windows Explorer. I am running Windows/7 (64) and have installed a CODEC from "Fast Picture Viewer" that allows thumbnails from RAW & DNG files to be shown. It seems, however, that the thumbnails do not show for DNG's created with LR4.
To Remedy this I uninstalled the CODEC. Downloaded the most recent version and installed it but this did not fix the problem.
I then went to the user forum for the CODEC product and searched for my problem. I found a thread who's solution is to turn off "Embed Fast Load Data" when exporting to DNG and it fixes the problem. I tried this and indeed it did fix it. The responder went on to say ".....When this option is enabled the files created are no longer DNGs (just an undocumented private format of Adobe that no one else can read to this date)". This statement surprised me as it is counter to what I understand Adobe created DNG to be. Can I get some input on this comment as if true it is very troubling.
My second question is that I see where to turn off the "Embed Fast Load Data" in the LR Export module, but where do I do the same thing in the Import module when I'm selecting import mode "Copy to DNG"?
And, my thrid question is this. If indeed the DNG files created by LR4 are proper DNG files and this CODEC is just flawed in some way, does anyone have a better way to allow image thumbnails to be shown in Windows Explorer?
Thanks -- Dan

Hi David,
You testing does not coincide with mine. I have consistently kept "Use
lossy compression" turned off. With lossy turned off, it seems that using
Fast Data Load prevents the thumbnails from displaying whereas turning off
"Fast Data Load" allows the thumbnail to be shown.
Below is comment from Adobe confirming that they have yet to release the
spec containing "Fast Data Load".

Cs6 bridge not showing thumbnails for raw file

Just upgraded to CS6
cs6 bridge not showing thumbnails for raw files.
Can see thumbnails in CS5.1 bridge and LR 4.2 which fortunately i did not uninstall.
Bummer since I am up against a hard deadline.
Really Sucks

We can't know. You are not offering any system information or e.g. info about what image files you are working with. Since they do show up in your otehr programs, my assumption would be that you need to switch the Camera Raw engine back to the 2009/2010 version in Photoshop and not use the default new 2012 one. Perhaps your thumbnails will appear then....

Need help Aperture 3 does not show thumbnails

Hello, after installing the Aperture 3, I found does not show thumbnails, tried to do everything he could, but nothing helped. Can anyone encountered this problem?

I've been having what seems to be permission related problems with previews. When you see no thumbnails, highlight all the images, right click on them and "delete previews", then "rebuild previews".
See if that fixes it.

Geo info not showing in places

I'm unable to get the gps info to show up in iphoto's places on my macbook. It works fine on my imac..
both computers have the most current iphoto (iphoto 09) and the same pictures (the gps info is there.. it shows latitude and longitude under extended info)
so, why does gps info show up correctly only on the imac and not the macbook? (nothing shows in places and nothing shows when i click the i in the corner) Is there a preference setting I need to set on the macbook that I'm missing?
thanks

so I dont understand why nothing shows up in places
Have you set iPhoto to look up Places automatically in the Preferences?
when i click the i in the corner
That panel contains no Places information.

Album art added via Itunes 'Get Info' not updating on iPhone 5

Im wanting to use Itunes specifically to add album artwork to my music which is managed manually. With the previous itunes version, it was a case of dragging and dropping a jpeg into the bottom left corner and hey presto! However, now...nothing.
Ive confirmed all manner of things/issues explained after "research" on the net. So far nothing has worked out. Ive confirmed that the artwork is jpeg (even tried png) and also that its not locked under any specific permissions in Windows 7.
To illustrate the annoyance of it, i can use a third party program to add the album art to an mp3 (prior to it being synced onto the iphone) and it will show up perfectly then! Now, you may be wondering 'why not just do that? problem solved'. Not quite. Windows is annoying to say the least especially with album artwork. Its all fine adding the artwork to mp3 files, but it then adds hidden artwork files in the folders themselves.
As i said before, i was able to do it manually with the previous itunes version but now im out of ideas. The 'Get Info' tab then onto 'Artwork' in itunes is where im trying to update the files. I can load them there, they will show on the files under itunes, but not on the iphone. As i manage my music manually ive also attempted to remove all tracks, re-sync and try and add again; nothing.
Any ideas would be much appreciated. Granted this can only be really described as an annoyance, but its annoying nonetheless.
Peace

Dragging music files directly from Windows and dropping onto the device? I have no idea how that is even possible, but right there you're deviating from the intended design -- iTunes is meant to be the intermediary.
Are you suggesting that i first update the music in the itunes library and then drag & drop to the iphone? In a way, not manually manage the music?
Yes, that IS what what I'm suggesting, and that is what manually managing means in the iTunes world. It is a media manager for your devices, and if you're bypassing it then its no wonder you're struggling. It sounds like you're coming from a mp3 player perspective, and like it or not, that's not how i-devices work.
I'm sorry to say, but if you try to force things another way it will be a rocky relationship to say the least.

CS3 Bridge not showing thumbnails

I've got adobe cs3, all updates applied with a nikon d3 using their latest software. Adobe Bridge will not show the thumbnail of the picture when picture taken. (camera attached to PC). All I see is the filename.NEF. If I take a few pictures, close Bridge and reopen it, thumbnails display. I've tried clearing cache etc...but no luck. What can I do to make sure that the thumbnails display when I take a picture.
ideas???? Thanks.

If I read this correctly you are trying to use Bridge as a real time viewer of what is on camera. Not sure it works this way. The best results are to download pictures to Bridge using a card reader. Make sure you have v. 4.6 ACR installed in correct folder if you have trouble viewing NEF files.

RAW files from my Canon 7D Mark II camera do not show thumbnails when stored on my iMac computer even though I have Photoshop CC 14.2 and Camera RAW 8.7

How do i resolve this problem? TIFF files show the thumbnails just fine, just not the RAW files. My old Canon 7D was fine with RAW files showing thumbnails also.

Which version of mac os x are you using?
They show here in photoshop 14.2.1 in the open dialog as well as in finder on mac os x 10.10
I believe the operating system provides the thumbnails and not photoshop.

MIRO- Unplanned Delivery Costs info. not showing on FS10N line items

HI,
Can anyone explain why when posting an Invoice with unplanned delivery costs using T-code MIRO, the purchase order info. does not show in the GL line item display T-code FS10N for any of the unplanned delivery cost line items. If anyone have a solution to allow the purchase order info. to show on the uplanned delivery costs line item that would be great.
Thanks.
Rickey.

Un-planned freight is entered on the header of the invoice and therefore relates to the entire invoice. Since, its possible to have mulitple PO's on one invoice it would only be possible to assign the PO when there is exactly one PO on the invoice.
Alternative, you can use planned freight or post the unplanned freight using the G/L tab in transaction MIRO. By using the G/L tab you can enter any information required for accounting (including multiple lines in case it is required to split the un-planned freight by several PO's.

Elements 5 - Organizer will not show thumbnails

Recently moved Elements 5 to my new laptop - On the laptop the organizer will not show photos in any view other than single picture. Anything smaller shows the hour glass [also shows on the collections icons]. I deleated the first catalog transfer and have been only using new photos transfered from my D-50. It will run full screen shows just nothing smaller that a single picture view. I also uninstalled and reinstalled the Elements software.
I have unchecked the filer checker.
Systems is a Vista home premium 64 bit, 4 gig of ram, Lenovo ideapad laptop 5800T processor. Version 5.0.2
Any ideas?

I can't be sure this is the problem, but ...
Is this the first time you have opened PSE5 on this computer? If so, it truly is generating the thumbnails. Your statement about how in single image mode the thumbnail appears is a symptom of this phase of the operation. Just let it run. It will finish, and the problem will be gone.

Contact info not showing in messages

Since upgrading to IOS7 my ipad will not show contact info for messages. On my iphone the upgrade works fine.

Hi, In such case, try to check the things below:
1> Make sure all contacts are stored in unique memory : sim or phone memory (recommend phone memory)
2> Try to avoid 1 contacts has few numbers and other case, similar or same names for fews contacts
3> Add your country code into the normal number format, eg: 0123455678 --> saved as +60 12345678 (+60 is the country code for MY)
4> Check the settings under Contacts folder: Contacts > Settings > Contact view or Display contacts > try to change Last name/ First name view option one by one

'Description' info not showing up in itunes u store

We've uploaded an m4v that has its own invidual artwork and description metadata that I put in 'Comments' and also in 'Description' under 'Video' (when you do 'get info' on the track in my library). Once in the store, only the course artwork is showing up for the track and the description info isn't showing up at all:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/uva-today-radio-1-5-11-restoration/id40525432 5?i=90242181
and all of the other tracks at:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/itunes-u/uva-today-radio/id405254325

I may be wrong, because I haven't been adding metadata within the iTunes "Get Info" tab since I migrated our site to PSM, but I don't think that the metadata added in the iTunes Application follows the track into the new PSM environment. I originally encountered this issue when I began the migration to the new PSM environment and realized that none of the detailed information about SPI's, etc. moved with the tracks to the new environment. See attached link:
http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=382664682
I also believe that there are other ongoing discussions about the inability to add separate artwork to individual tracks within a Collection. At this point, all tracks within a Collection have the assigned Channel artwork.
All the best..

"get info" not recalculating "size" field in iTunes XML database correctly

I have updated some of my mp3 files directly in the iTunes directory. The update changed from CBR to VBR at a higher bit rate. I selected the files and used 'get info' to update the iTunes database with the new bit rate information, which seemed to work fine. The resulting update works fine on the 1G nano, the 3G nano and the 1G iPod (yes, 1G!), but does not work on the iPod 5G (Video 80Gb). On the 5G iPod the changed songs will play for about a minute, then jump to the end of the song.
After much investigation, I found that deleting the song from iTunes and re-adding it solved the problem. When I examined the iTunes database had a different value for the size field. It went from
<key>Size</key><integer>4969036</integer>
to
<key>Size</key><integer>4967106</integer>
There are other changes, but this seems to be the most significant.
Is there any way to force iTunes to re-calculate this field?
Thanks,
Jonathan
PS I will post this on the iPod forum as well.

My own experience with truncated songs on the iPod is that I flag them when they happen. When I get back to iTunes, I resync and pull up the recently played and find those songs. Note the time, which is usually shown as the abbreviated version. If I then double click them to play, iTunes will normally update the time to the correct time. Resyncing to the iPod fixes the problem.
Oh I should mention that I give truncated songs on my iPod a 3-star rating as a tag. So after I "re-play" the song on iTunes to fix the time, I then change the rating back to no-stars. So this also forces an update back to the iPod. So you might have to tweak something after fixing the time to get it to reupdate back to the iPod.

Preview app not showing thumbnails view scrambled

Hi,
since i updated to maverick last week i got an issue with the Mac Preview app, it opens the documents ok, but when opening several files at the time, the thumbnails are all scrambled and not showing the miniature of the selected file.
if i click on the thmbnails area and navigate with the keyboard's arrows it allows me to go through the open files, all files open ok but the thumbnails is the only part that is having this issue.
i have deleted the com.apple.Preview from ~\Library\Containers but still having the issue.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.
