I get an hourglass instead of a thumbnail in the catalog

I have a laptop with Windows Vista and SP1. I was running Adobe Photoshop 6.0 and upgraded to Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0. Now when I import new photos instead of a thumbnail view of the photo I get a thumbnail of an hourglass. If I regenerate the thumbnail of an older photo it comes back as an hourglass. I can view the photo by selecting it, it's just the thumbnail I cannot get. Any ideas what is going wrong?

Could be that PSE7 is simply generating thumbnails. This might happen if the thumbnail cache is corrupted, or if this is the first time you are using PSE7 and are importing a lot of photos. Anyway, some suggestions are here: http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshopelements-6-7-faq.htm#_Recreate_Organizer_thum bnails

  • Not worth $130! Get iLife '08 instead!

    Not worth $130! Get iLife '08 instead! Seriously, what's the point, you get next to nothing for $130. Yeah, time machine is great, but you have to spend another $100 for an external hard-drive. I love Macs, but I am very disappointed with Leopard...

    The ranting here is really about how Leopard didn't come with iLife08, and how it didn't update those programs associated with iLife08. Even though it was never stated by Apple or any press releases that Leopard would update those programs. That is why they released iLife08 way before Leopard.

    Hi,
    I checked your account,your Export PDF subscription is in 'Pending' status.
    Once it gets confirmed you will be able to use it.

  • On my new 4S, how do I get my contact pic to display on the full screen when that contact calls?  Now it displays as a thumbnail on the banner

    Right now when someone calls that I have a contact pic set for, it shows as a thumbnail on the right side of the banner (right corner of screen).  I want it to come up on the whole screen like I see other iphones do.  I was told at first that this happens when I use a pic not taken with my phone, such as an uploaded pic from my pc.  This is not the case, the only 2 that I have tried to do were pics taken with the iphone.  Can someone help me to get this corrected?  I have spent over 2 hours with verizon, they cannot figure it out and I also have a senior technical advisor at Apple trying to figure it out, but I am curious if anyone has come across this with the new 4S and how they fixed it.  The senior apple advisor thinks it has something to do with syncing my contacts through itunes or google.

    Is it because the portable drive is NTFS format and the Mac wont recognise this? If so what do I do?
    Yes, this is exactly what is causing the problem. Macs cannot write to NTFS formatted drives, only read. You must move the documents to the internal HDD/SSD of the Mac to be able to edit them.
    Or, since you say you don't want to move the documents to the internal storage, you'll need to format the external HDD as FAT32.

  • "more info" in Get Info showing "--" instead of actual infos for newer videos and images

    I've just noticed that when I click on "Get Info" on my newer pictures and videos, the "more info" section is now showing "--" instead of the dimensions of the images and videos. However when I go to my older files, the info is showing. Also if I search any of the newer files (those with the missing info) in Spotlight, it doesn't show up.  I've done some research and some people suggest reindexing Spotlight, but that never worked for me. In fact, even if I exclude a folder in my Privacy list, it's still showing as a result when I search them. I'm sure this is a problem with Spotlight as it stores the dimensions info, but since reindexing it is not a solution, can it be solved in some other way?

    It takes time on newer things, but might have to be opened first or something.
    If you want, you can clear the caches with OnyX (#12) and that would rebuild and repair the entire sub-system.

  • When I have finished working on an image in Photoshop and I hit the save button it goes instead to the "save as" screen. This never happened in previous Photoshop versions. When I get to Lightroom, I have a grey screen the says "File could not be found."

    When I have finished working on an image in Photoshop and I hit the "save" button, it goes instead to the "save as" screen. This never happened in previous Photoshop versions. When I get to Lightroom, I have a grey screen the says "File could not be found." I then have to go to "locate" to get the image. When I select the correct image, I get a message that it is not the same file name but I am eventually able to access the image. Needless to say this is having a negative impact on workflow!

    The problem with write permissions for the OneDrive folder only shows up in Lightroom 6's export dialogue, that's why it's to irritating. Lightroom 5.7.1 is not having that problem nor does the file explorer. The problem also exists on both of my machines. I will try to check for other problems with the OneDrive troubleshooter though: Running the OneDrive troubleshooter - Windows Help   

  • CR2 generic icon in Adobe Bridge instead of a thumbnail

    Hi, Since buying Lightroom3 I find that I can only see a CR2 generic icon in Adobe Bridge instead of a thumbnail when I browse the folder containing my RAW files. Loading Lightroom3 may just be a coincidence.
    I am using Canon cameras up to 5Dmk2 and PS4 software on my iMac. I have downloaded PS 11.0.2, Bridge3.00 and Camera Raw 5.7.0.213.
    I have purged the cache for the folder. I have downloaded DNG converter 6.10.250 and processed the file but still cannot see the thumbnails.
    Within Bridge preferences the Camera Raw Preferences is a light gray and cannot be accessed. Is this normal?
    If I trash CS4 completely would I be able to reload from the original Cd and try again.
    Grateful for any advice. Alex

    I have a Mac computer and am trying to use a Photoshop CS4 program, but after accessing my desktop files through Adobe Bridge and clicking twice on any of the pictures to get into Photoshop, instead of entering photoshop, I get on the lefthand side an enlarged version of the picture with red, yellow and green buttons on top. Any suggestions on what is wrong, or what can be corrected ?

    And there is the problem. Your pictures are opening up in Mac's own Preview app.
    Do you want all your jpegs to open in Photoshop, or only when you are in Bridge?
    Selecting a program to open a certain file is called: File Type Association.
    You can choose this at the MacOS level or the Bridge level.
    Here's how to do both:
    Either MacOS or Bridge has the wrong app associated with the jpeg. Let's start with MacOS
    Close Bridge and Preview. Select one of your jpegs, and press Cmd i, That will bring up the file info window.
    Go down to the "Open with" section of File Info.
    Choose Photoshop CS4 and click on the Change All... button to apply this choice to every jpeg on your Mac.
    Then open Bridge and see if double-clicking opens it in Photoshop.
    Now that means all jpegs on your Mac will open in Photoshop.  Maybe you don't want that.
    You can set your jpegs to open in Preview when Bridge is closed.
    When you open Bridge, there is Preferences > File Type Associations where you can direct Bridge to open the jpegs in Photoshop when you are viewing in Bridge.

  • I cannot copy off the clipboard. I move the copy icon, get support.mozilla instead

    I can't paste from the clipboard. I move the paste icon to the toolbar and get support.mozilla instead. If I clip on this the paste function is not available

    I have my Time Capsule set up and can access it remotely, however, I cannot copy anything to the TC disk from my desktop. 
    Sorry but do you mean you cannot copy from local LAN to the TC, or from a remote location to the TC.
    What OS is on the computer.. it is a common issue with Mavericks.. where the networking giants have gone back to tin cans and string.
    I recommend a full reset of the TC to factory.
    Change all naming to SMB type.. it is so important now with Mavericks which is SMB by default.
    SMB uses names that are short.. <10characters is great.. keep it less than 20 max.
    No spaces.
    Pure alphanumeric.
    ie when apple setup suggests a name like
    Fred Blog's Airport Time Capsule.. it breaks every rule. It is over long.. has spaces and illegal character.
    So change all names.. eg TCgen4 (replace number with actual Gen if you like.. or just name it TC).
    Call wireless TCwifi (or TC24ghz and TC5ghz if you want separate naming for the bands).
    Then in finder.. use Go, Connect to server.
    Type in
    AFP://TCname  (where TCname is whatever you have now named your TC compliant with the rules above)
    If that fails
    AFP://TCname.local (Mavericks gets domain name issues.. it needs the domain and is local by default.)
    or
    AFP://TCIPaddress. eg AFP://10.0.1.1 which is router address by default.. only use if the ip is static.
    The computer will hopefully discover the resource and now you can type in your password.. public by default.. or whatever you changed it to.
    Now try copying files to the TC.

  • People are getting my email instead of contact name?

    Not sure if there is a way around it or not, but whenever I start up a conversation through text on my iPad and I haven't previously had a conversation going for it to show up on my iPad, people get my email address instead of my number which would be in their contacts with my name. So essentially they'll ask who this is, I'll explain and I say to merge the two contacts. Just that is a hassl, is there a way around this at all?
    Under messages in the settings, under Send & Receive it has my email address which I can remove if I want, would that get rid of my email address when I send a text and they would supposedly be getting a text thru my email instead of my contact number? On both my iPhone and iPad I have that email under Send & Receive, if I deleted it would people stop getting my email address for a text or FaceTime (also happens for FaceTime) and just get my number instead (and if my number is in their contacts practically my name)?
    I Just got a new iPhone a few weeks ago and haven't been experimenting heavily until the holidays now. Plus I got a iPad a few days ago. So that's why I've been getting these problems.
    On another note, if it helps at all, my iPad has cellular for AT&T.

    Does anyone know at all?

  • PS icons show instead of photo thumbnails on Picture Viewer

    I've loaded CS3 on a new laptop---Windows 7.  CS3 Bridge and Photoshop work great, however the thumbnails show the PS icon instead of the photo in picture viewer.  I'm sure I'm missing a file or have one in the wrong location.  Any idea how to repair the problem?
    Thank you!  Randy Black

    Thanks for your speedy reply, Curt!  Just the RAW icons are showing up---the JPEG's are OK.  I do have ACR 4.6 loaded in the following location:
    Program files (X86)/common files/adobe/plug-ins/CS3/file formats.  The file is Camera Raw, Type 8BI.  I also checked in the "other" Adobe file to make sure I didn't have a duplicate of the RAW file there-looks OK.  Bridge works great-just showing the PS icon in the "Picture Viewer." 
    I've evidently accidently deleted a file today as I have been able to view RAW thumbnails until today.
    Thanks again!  Have a great week!
    Randy
