I cannot see thumbnails in iPhoto, only see dashes in the shape of the thumbnail

When I open Iphoto I do not see any thumbnails, only dashes surrounding the area where the thumbnails usually are.  In Events I only see a dark grey square that appears to be raised, but no thumbnails.  If I click on the blank I can see the photo.  Have restored from Time Machine two times with the help of Apple Care rep.  Still no thumbnails, can you help me?

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. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails. This can take three or four goes to work.
Regards
TD

    Not necessarily. I'd suggest downloading and installing the "combo" update. That's a combination (thus the clever name) of all the updates to Leopard since it was first released, so installing it should fix anything that's gone wrong since then, such as with one of the normal "point" updates. Info and download available at: http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate Be sure to do a +Repair Permissions+ via Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder) afterwards.

  • Ipod classic has been wiped. cannot see it on the 'device list' in my itunes. I have tried restoring to factory settings and reloading...it reloads some of the music, but when I plug the Ipod back in, it wipes it again.

    Make sure your headphones are plugged in all the way, meaning you cannot see any of the silver still showing from the headphone's plug. 
    A feature of the Nano is to put it to sleep when the display goes out and it does not detect any headphones.

  • I can no longer access my Airport Express Base Station. When I plug it in, it keeps flashing orange. I cannot see it in the Airport Utility.

    How do I fix this

    If you're comfortable resetting all settings, unplug it, hold down the reset button and keep holding it in as you plug it back in - keep holding it for another 10-20s until the amber light flashes
    Then, open airport utility, now you should be able to see the device either on-screen or in the upper left under 'other wi-fi devices'

  • My picture files open up off center so I cannot see all of the bottom part of the picture.

    Hi,
    My picture files open up off center so I cannot see all of the bottom part of the picture. The ruler across the top read "0" to 13.5". Down the left side of the picture the ruler reads 3", 2",1", 0, 1", 2",3" etc. This leaves a three inch empty space at the top of my viewing area and I lose three inches of the bottom of my picture. I cannot figure out how to adjust this. I have tried the screen modes  and they do not fix my problem.  What can I do to solve this problem?

    Please provide sensible details about your platform, exact version of your OS, exact version of Photoshop, complete details baout your setup, hardware details, monitor resolution, etc.

    It's beta open source software so I'm not surprised. It does't look to be too active a project, so I don't know if it will help or not but you might be maybe better off posting a bug report on their Sourceforge page here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/kompozer/

  • I cannot see "iPhone" in the list of interfaces when trying to configure it in the network options. Do you know how to fix it ?

    I cannot see "iPhone" in the list of interfaces when trying to configure it in the network options. Do you know how to fix it ?

    When I go to SYSTEM PREFERENCES > NETWORK i don't see "iPhone" in the list of Services (AirPort, Ethernet, etc.)
    If I try to add a new service (by clicking + ) iPhone doesn't show up in the list of "interfaces" available.
    That sounds a bit weird because iTunes can normally sync-up, backup and recover my iPhone.By the way "Personal Hotspot" is already set.

    Reset, hold both Home and Power buttons until the iPhone restarts. See if this fixes the problem. If not, it is possible that the LCD display #1 Flex Cable has come loose from the Logic Board. Take the iPhone to Apple and ask the Genius to reseat flex cable #1. Before opening and during any repairs on the iPhone 3GS, make sure the iPhone is OFF.

  • Unable to see photos in iphoto only  blank boxes where the photo's should be

    Remember we can't see your machine.
    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on seven different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary from version to version and OS to OS. So before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.
    With this kind of information somebody can develop a starting point for troubleshooting the issue.

  • Cannot see emails in the inbox, but can send emails out.  why?

    I bought the Galaxy S III about 3 months ago, and have been struggling to set up my personal email (my own domain hosted by godaddy.com).  my gmail accounts sync up nicely from day 1.
    Today, a tech rep from Godaddy.com suggested that i turn off wi-fi, and set up the account using the phone connection only.  That seemed to work, and i was able to set up personal email accounts (my own domain).
    Issues:  i cannot see any email in the Inbox. Every time i hit the button "load up to 50 more messages", the Update icon would spin for a few seconds, but no emails show up.  the message said "account last synced on date..., time....".  still no emails in the Inbox.
    a) i tried using the email software that came with the phone for the  (the icon has an envelope and a red seal in the middle).  the email was correctly set up, i was able to send emails out, but still no emails show up in my inbox.
    b) i tried using the K9 email app (downloaded from apps market, free).  the email was correctly set up, i was able to send emails out, but still no emails show up in my inbox.
    Does anyone know what i did wrong?  or is something wrong with my phone?
    thanks so much for your help

    good thinking.... I'm trying to set up Outlook 2010 on my desktop.  it's downloading emails from the server, but because i have so many emails up there (50K) for the past few years, it's not functioning properly yet.  i can see the emails and i can move them to different folders (10K emails in Inbox at a time, more get downloaded as i move emails out of the Inbox).  but i cannot send emails out from Outlook on the desktop. 
    wonder if these 2 issues are related.
    i can see, receive and send emails directly on the server (web) no problem. 
      I would try clearing out your inbox as much as possible, and then try it. Maybe it cannot index correctly to download because there are so many. Just a thought.

  • I cannot view images in iphoto - only black screen

    I had problems being unable to boot my iMac this week and ended up having to take it to the Apple store where they re-installed the operating system and all seemed fine. Now however, although I can view thumbnails in iPhoto, when I click on them I just get a black screen.
    I've checked the images do still exist in the file folders and I had a slideshow running as a screensaver - this still shows the images but I cannot access them through iPhoto.
    Can anyone help?
    Thank you

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. Permissions in the Library: 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. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. Minor Database corruption: 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.
    3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
