Image preview thumbnails suddenly not displaying: just generic .jpg

I have a series of folders containign images. I surf through them all the time using the Finder in Icon mode, where I can see the image itself as the thumbnail.
For some reason now all I'm getting is the generic file format image (in this case, .jpg), with no "preview". This is happening for all images in all folders.
Can anyone explain why this might be happening? Thanks!

yea, mine doesn't show previews or let me import, it keeps crashing on import and i have not used it since before the update. i repaired permissions, dunno what that would do tho. I tried using iphoto, but i dunno if my camera imports into it. however, the previews don't show up in iphoto either. so there is definitely an issue.

Image content type in Site Asset Image library: The Preview and Thumbnail Preview columns do not display the picture of the item.

I have two different Site Asset libraries. The Site Asset Picture library has items of
content type picture. The Site Asset Image Library has items of
content type image.
1) I do not quite understand the different between a picture content type versus an image content type.
2) the thumbnail and preview columns do not display the image in the Site Asset
Image Library. (the image does display in the thumbnail column of the Site Asset Picture library.) I expected the image to display in the Site Asset Image Library the same as it does in the Site Asset Picture library.
Why doesn't it?

I have subsequently found out that our "Site Asset Images" library is a Document Library to which someone must have replaced the Document content type with an Image content type. I also found out that picture previews/thumbnails cannot be displayed
in Document libraries. So the problem was the library type, not the content type.
So I simply created a new Picture Library (whose content type = picture) and copied the files into that and the thumbnails displayed just fine!
I bet what led to this is the default "Site Assets" library that is created for a new Team site. It is just a document library but sounds very similar to the "Assets" library. I can imagine someone thinking the "Site Assets" library was a standard
container for images, and simply changed the name to better identify the content!
As far as 'image' vs 'picture' content types, I noticed that a new Picture Library contains a content type of 'picture', but an Asset Library contains a content type of 'image' (as well as audio and video). Although the 'image' content type has a few
more fields than the 'picture' content type (picture content type does not have thumbnail), the actual Picture Library contains pretty much all the same fields, including the thumbnail. So for all practical purposes, either library type can be used for
storage of pictures. I am guessing that the Pictures Library which uses the picture content type is for backwards compatibility purposes, and that the 'image' content type is newer, being derived from the new "Rich Media Asset" content type and used
in the new Asset Library which can hold audio and video in addition to pictures.
Microsoft Help also mentioned that a Picture Library has a slide view which an Asset library does not. So my take on that is that if you want the potential of seeing your pictures as a slide show, put them in a Picture library which is still using
the 'picture' content type of previous SharePoint versions. If you want to keep pictures organized with audio/video files, then put them into an Asset library which uses the 'image' content type derived from the new Rich Media Asset content type.

DNG suddenly not displaying preview

I just opened my aperture to find none on my DNG Image files displaying previews. They all displayed just fine the last time I used aperture. Which come to think of it was before the last OS X update...
Does anyone have any thoughts on why they would all the sudden stop showing a preview?

yea, mine doesn't show previews or let me import, it keeps crashing on import and i have not used it since before the update. i repaired permissions, dunno what that would do tho. I tried using iphoto, but i dunno if my camera imports into it. however, the previews don't show up in iphoto either. so there is definitely an issue.

Hasselblad Thumbnails (*.fff) not displayed in CS4

Hasselblad thumbnails (*.fff) not displayed. Older file-versions created from *.3fr to *.fff by FlexColor are displayed. Newer versions created by Phocus are not displayed. In Apples finder they are all displayed well and you can zoom in to full screen. This is valid for *.3fr, *.fff (created by RAW-converter FlexColor or Phocus).
Adobe® Creative Suite® 4 Design Premium actual version, camera raw 5.4, Mac OS X 10.5.7, Power Mac G5

Here, I found a relevant thread in the ACR forum for you:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/1982052#1982052
Only ".3FR" is supported. ".FFF" is not supported.
Since ACR does not support .fff raw files, Bridge cannot build the thumbnails.
The Finder is most probably just showing you the embedded JPEG preview.

Preview.app will not display some PDF files

Since upgrading Yosemite I have found that Preview.app will not display some PDF documents, the documents open but all the pages are blank. This is a big issue as my work involves reviewing documents that are all in the PDF format. Strangely some PDFs work properly but I haven't been able to determine any common factors among the documents that work versus those that don't work. The problem documents do open correctly in Adobe Acrobat Reader but Reader takes over viewing of PDF container fields I have in several important FileMaker Pro 13 databases. Acrobat in the FileMaker databases for me is just as much of a problem as not viewing PDFs in Preview.
After searching the forums I followed suggestion in a post to try using version 7.0 of Preview.app (the version that worked under Mavericks) but that is also showing blank pages. I have noticed that the PDFs which open as blank pages also display that way in Finder and Spotlight previews. Could this mean that I have some kind of OS level issue here and not a Preview.app issue? Perhaps Finder and Spotlight use Preview.app to generate the preview.
I have posted this in a bug report to Apple but in the meantime I would welcome any suggestions or workarounds to try.

The built-in PDF renderer has trouble with that file. You might get better results with Adobe Reader.

Thumbnails do not display after using rebuild tool

I am using OSX 10.7.5, and iPhoto 8.1.2.
recently I made a back up copy of my files.
I then reinstalled my operating system.
I then copied my iphoto library back onto my computer.
imported my iPhoto library into iPhoto
Pictures are in iPhoto.
Thumbnails do not display.
I have used the rebuild tools provided by iPhoto.
Still no thumbnails displaying.
any other ideas?

It relates to your suggestion in that, the reason I posted was to solve a thumbnail issue.
"re: Thumbnails do not display after using rebuild tool"
Terence suggested reloading my back up library.
I asked Terence where I should import to.
I was thinking that my thumbnail issue was related to the way I imported my back up.
You clarified where to import the library...
I tried it and I still have no thumbnails
I have already tried repairing permissions and rebuilding thumbnails using the i photo repair tool.
can you help me?

Start iTunes, remove all your voice memos from your library (back them up if you need them), quit iTunes. Restart Finder. Done. I hope that helps!

Why does my nano suddenly not display the audiobooks option?

There are options on the iPod's Settings screen to show or not show items in the various menus.

Images not showing in Mail, just generic JPG icon...

I have this problem with Mail (v3.6, Leopard 10.5.8) not displaying images in html messages anymore. The problem is mostly with the emails i'm sending. Back on Tiger, you could drag and drop an image and it would show inline right there where your cursor would be in the message. Now it goes at the bottom, showing the generic Preview.app JPG icon with the name and size of the file underneath the icon. If I try to compose a message using on of Apple's stationaries, half of the images are not showing, instead once again giving me the generic icon. I do have the option of displaying HTML images turned on in the prefs. A picture is worth a thousand words, so here it is :
http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/25424/mail_problem.jpg
If I send this to friends, half of them get a correct looking email while the other half gets missing images where the original image was showing as an icon for me. Trying to save the email message as a PDF will have missing images too.
What's going on here? Thanks!!!

Same problem here. Some background images show up, top, bottom and corner images not. Opening the 'content.html' file in Safari: no problem.
No idea what's going on.

Thumbnails do not display for some images

I have a large library with over 65,000 images.
In some albums and projects the images fail to display in the browser....see here for an screenshot
http://picasaweb.google.be/lh/photo/tOj7FY4lclLxr8YMEBV8ZA?authkey=_Zrhrl8QDyA
If I go into filmstrip view I can make them appear but this does not seem to stick...ie when I quit and restart aperture the same images fail to display.
I have tried selecting and "generate thumbnails" as well as "update previews" and whilst it chunters away working on it for quite a while the images stll persist in not appearing.
Suggestions?

Sorry to hear that....I still have no really good news. What I did notice is that if I enlarged the thumbnails above a certain size then they all displayed....but once they dropped below a certain size the ones that did not display, stopped displaying!
This was so boring that I deleted the entire project (after doing an export, including masters) and then imported the originals again.
Now everything works fine...but of course I have lost all the tagging and adjustments that I did since importing....so I am not happy at all....but at least I do have a working library.

Image preview (thumbnail) help request

I'm a recent convert from PC to the new imac *LOVE IT!* However, I'm very accustomed to the beautiful little option in windows to preview thumbnails of image files within their folders, WITHOUT opening them in a program to view them... this does not seem possible in OSX. Is there another program I can get to help with this... er something. I'm a digital artist, and I have MANY resources files (i.e. textures, vector files, etc.). I need to be able to preview what they are without having to open 8,000 images in another program just to find the ONE that I need.
* iphoto is NOT the answer to this. It does not read my .psd or .ai files properly to preview. *
PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN!
Thanks,
Charli

Sorry to tag in, but I have wreid question hope you can help:
This is post on this forums on Oct-05-2007, but nobody since has any suggestion.
I have the following:
A. MBP is Intel base Core 2 Due.
B. All the software version are the most updated.
C. Canon IDsMKII, with all Canon software up to date on July-2007.
D. PS3, il3.
E. No other image program.
My old iMac is ok to copy Canon Raw file directly from the CF card and have correct thumbnail orientation. But not now anymore!
Before Aug 2007, not exact date, I import, download or copy from the CF card with following method to my new MBP:
1. Copy direct from the CF card, which don't have the correct orientation thumdnail.
2. So I use Canon's CameraWindow to import the RAW file, which can creata correct orientation thumbnail. Also have a very tiny preview icon in the colume list.
3. But this couple days all the Raw file for JPG that I put in the MBP only have landscape thumbnail. The previous import file still OK with correct thumbnail orientation.
4. For JPG, I need to open and save by PS3 without modify then it will have correct orientation thumbnail. But no luck for Raw file.
I tried to re-boot the MBP with hold down the apple + control + P + R as suggested by Apple to clear up whatever in the memory. But no luck.
However, any file that I stored in NAS that was copied previously with correct orientation thumbnail will have the following effect:
1. I copy them back from NAS to MBP's desktop then the thumbnail will become landscape.
2. If I move them from the desktop to a folder, then the thumbnail will back to their correct orientation. Then I move it back to desktop, it shows correct.
So I think, somehow the update OS 10.4... do not read the data from the Raw file.
Any comment.
MBP Mac OS X (10.4.10)
