HT204655 photos loaded but appearing as blank thumbnails

I've just migrated a large amount of photos to the Photos programme, but many of them don't appear in thumbnail view - instead, the thumbnail is blank. If I double click on the blank thumbnail, the photo appears, and then the thumbnail appears, but otherwise, the majority of my library appears as blanks.
Any advice?

I take it you just can't do another delete on those blank thumbnails, right?
Try rebuilding the library using iPhoto Library Manager. It creates a new library while leaving the old one untouched. It has often worked when iPhoto's rebuild did not. Here's how:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: It can take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos. One user reported that with a library of about 5,000 images it took about 12 hours so plan ahead.
Good luck.

So I deleted Foxfire 3.6.9 and down loaded to 3.5.9 so it could get FTP and it is doing the same could not install. Even after I registered my copy. The last time I used this program it showed up under tools and worked great. any suggestions on whats going on and how I can get around this?.by ralphd3g

    Delete the files extensions.* (extensions.rdf, extensions.cache, extensions.ini) and compatibility.ini in the Firefox [[Profiles|profile folder]] to reset the extensions registry.
    See "Corrupt extension files": http://kb.mozillazine.org/Unable_to_install_themes_or_extensions
    If you see disabled extensions that are not compatible on the next start in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" then click the "Find Updates" button to do a compatibility check.

  • I am having trouble accessing itunes store.  It starts to load but then goes blank.

    I can not access the Itunes store.  It will start to load but then goes blank.  Not sure what to do.

    Close your iTunes,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.

  • Can only open one link at a time; any page in new tab will seem to load but appears blank. I have to open a new browser to go to a new page. Why?

    This just began to happen yesterday. I have a MacBook Pro 10.7.5.
    I can always get to the first page that I open in a new browser, but any page after that that I try to open in a new tab will seem to load but the page is blank.
    This does not just happen with one website I have tried myriad of different sites.. only the first tab loads in a new browser. I am having to open a new browser if i want to go to another link - very frustrating..

  • In elements 10 audio and video tracks loaded but appear to be blank

    running windows 7 with elements premiere 10... i have my audio and video loaded in the session but the tracks, 2 video with audio and one audio only track, appear to have no info. they play, but i cant see the wave file image.  i need to see the file and be able to zoom in so i can line it up for syncing.  i had at least the audio showing up at first, but somehow that seemed to disappear now? how do i fix this?

    sadworld4804
    The wave representation that you seek is in the pek file of the cfa and pek set for the audio. Did you let your audio go to completion for audio conforming before starting any work on the project?
    But, I am suspecting something else which is easy to remedy and hope this is it.
    1. Look to the left where it says track name, Audio 1, to see a speaker icon. You can toggle that to get 2 different "Audio Track Display Styles"
    and
    Please let us know if that was the issue, that is, the toggle choice for the "Audio Track Display Style".
    Thanks.

  • The pages says it's loading, but it's blank.

    It usually does this on Gaiaonline and Photobucket. If I reload the page, that works sometimes, but I hate doing that all the time. For some websites, Firefox just says "Server Not Found"
    I have tried:
    CCleaner
    AVG
    Deleting Browser history, cache, cookies, etc.
    Allowing Firefox as an exception on the Firewall
    And other things.
    We have Comcast and our router is DLink. I'm also using a DYNEX Wireless Notebook Card, and that's working fine.
    Nothing works and I am really getting tired of Firefox doing this. I don't know if it's the browser, or just my laptop...but it's so annoying. Please help me.

    If you are having problems updating, then do the following:

  • Photos shown as blank thumbnails

    I am creating a fairly large photo book from around 350 images. On the right where the photos are and where I have been dragging them from all was well until I got about 3/4 of the way through the project. Then they stopped being displayed as previews and started to appear as blank thumbnails instead. When I drag them into the project they are there but its not much of a solution.
    iMac 27" 2013
    OS X 10.9.4

    Do the photos show correct thumbnails in the Events or albums? 
    Try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
    2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.
    3 - if necessary repeat with Option #1, Repair Permissions.

  • Why will only one site load but not display, yet links are available on the site?  OS10.8.5, Safari 6.1.4

    I am running OS 10.8.5 and Safari 6.1.4,  When I go to sierratradingpost.com, the page appears to load, but the page is blank.  When I pass the cursor over the page, it will change to the pointing finger indicating active links.  Yet, when I click on the link the new page loads, but is also blank.  This only happens on my Mac Air, it does not happen on my iTouch or iPad.  I have looked through all my settings when the page is loaded but can find nothing.  I have WOT, Ghostery and Ad bloc active.  Even when I turn all those off I still have the same problem. Everything was fine yesterday morning, but when I went to the site in the afternoon, the problem arose.  Any ideas? 

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

  • HT3805 Sudden problem: Adjustment panel blank (metadata and library OK). Thumbnail shown as file loads but then  image has dark blue cast and is not adjustable.  Have current version of Aperture running.  Help please

    Aperture Help needed: Adjustment panel is blank, although metadata and library panels normal.  Thumbnails appear normal but when RAW (CR2) file is loaded, it appears with a dark blue cast, and does not load into the adjustment panel, and is not adjustable. Suggestions please

    You may need to register your camera with the the launch service database again, see this post by Alan Roseman: Re: Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish
    There is a "typo" in the command given in the link above, so read also the following posts on how to correctly enter the command and how the fix is supposed to work
    Good luck.
    Post back, if this does not help.

  • HT1040 trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.

    trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.
    if i clear the book so that it is all blanks and then try to load in the pictures i have it loses the chronology of the pictures that i had established in the album.
    is there a way to import photos into an ibook template and keep the original order of the photos without having to do them one at a time?
    also, is there a way to insert a photo rather than just dragging it? i have tried the cut and paste funciton but it doesn't seem to work, the target site doesn't seem to register with iphoto.
    many thanks for your help.

    Photos are added to book in chronological order.  So if you want to add them to a book in the order you have placed them manually in an album do the following:
    1 - select all the photos in the album.
    2 - use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option as shown here. Select any date and add 1 minute between photos.
    3 - select just one photo from the album and create a book from it.
    4 - in the book click on the Options button ➙ Book Settings button and make sure the checkbox for Auto-layout pages is unchecked.
    5 - drag the album with your book photos onto the book icon and they will be imported into the Photos tray of the book in your pre-determined order but not into the pages themselves.

    Help!   In iphoto my photos do not appear just a blank dated square. Somehow I messed up when trying to send a photo via email.I cannot not see any but 4 photos.I tried all of the solutions that Apple suggested. Somehow I think that i am trying to send ALL my photos in an email.How do i unhide all of my photos?

    Did you launch iPhoto with the Option(Alt) and Commnad keys held down like Terence suggested?  If you did it properly you will get this window:
    The second option is the one you want to run.

  • Hi, I try to load a photo from desktop and Elements 12 opens up but the photo doesn't appear in the screen.  I used to get it but lately they don't appear.

    I click on one of my photos on desktop and Elements 12 opens up but the photo doesn't appear on the screen.  I was getting it before but it doesn't come through now.

    Which operating system are you running on?
    How are you trying to open the photos?
    - from windows explorer? - double licking or right clicking and selecting Open with?
    - by loading the editor and go to File -> Open?
    Looking back at your other threads you seem to have had this problem before - what keeps changing?

  • Photos are there but the videos are appearing as blank icons with an error message after the upgrade to Yosemite

    I bought myself a new MacBook Pro and migrated everything from a Time Capsule/Time Machine migration.  My previous computer was slowly dying so I had backed it up although it was running Mavericks.  I migrated everything to the new computer from a Time Machine backup - all my photos and files are there - but in iPhoto, the videos (taken with a camera as .MOV files which usually appear in iPhoto) are appearing as blank icons.  When I click on them, I get the error message, "The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -54.)" and the video doesn't play or appear.  The video does, however, appear when I click on "Reveal in Finder - Original File" - so the files are there - they just aren't being compatible with my iPhoto in Yosemite.
    Any idea why?

    Do you still have access to the old system? If so drag the iPHtoo library on the new system to the desktop and Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc)  or use an external hard drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

  • In my iPhoto library, only some images appear as thumbnails.  The rest are blank but appear briefly when scrolling through or properly when double clicked.  Any ideas?

    In my iPhoto library, only some images appear as thumbnails.  The rest are blank but appear briefly when scrolling through or properly when double clicked.  Any ideas?

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • TS3297 After downloading the latest version of iTunes, the store will not load. It appears as if it has loaded, but the screen remains blank.

    After downloading the latest version of iTunes, the store will not load. It appears as if it has loaded, but the screen remains blank.

    I have the same problem and have been fighting with it for several days. I think the last thing that I did before this happened was to let Quicktime update itself. When I open itunes and click on store, the connecting bar gets halfway and then stops. That leaves me with the white store page, if I leave it alone for a bit, I see words as in names of singers and but no pictures.
    I have ran the diagnostics and see no problems at all, no event logs in windows, no errors at all. I've un-installed itunes and re-installed but no change. I'm using Norton 360 from comcast. I have windows 7 pro 64 bit. Also, the help in itunes doesn't display.
    I put in a ticket with apple and the response I got back basically told me to do what I've already done. I created a new user and have the same issue.
    Any help at all will be very much appreciated. I think this started August. 8, 2011.
    thanks so much for reading
