Import grid shows no thumbnails

I'm a long time LR user but this has really baffled me.
Put a CF card into the reader and open LR5. Import dialogue shows there is a card but there are no thumbnails... just message saying No images to display.
Check card and indeed there is the usual directory structure (camera is a Canon 50d) and there are a swag of CR2 and JPGs. Tried copying the files to a temp folder on HDD and try to import from LR and it doesn't see them.
Anyone with any clues... much appreciated.
Dave

Hi Dave,
Not sure if this will help you or not, but I had the same problem before and it turned out to be the USB port on my PC.  It just went bad.  It would work for some things, but not for reading cards through Lightroom.   Once I switched the card reader to a new port, it worked fine.  Maybe not the same in your case, but give it a try,

  • Is there some secret to getting Pentax K-3 .dng files to display thumbnails when importing to an iPad (mini w/retina)? Files import fine, but no thumbnail. Mac OS has compatability with those files.

    Is there some secret to getting Pentax K-3 .dng files to display thumbnails when importing to an iPad (mini w/retina)? Files import fine, but no thumbnail. Mac OS had compatibility with those files added long ago. Am I missing something?

    I agree Terrance. However, I was able to copy other large batches of other files (my music for example) without any issues. The issue only showed up when copying iPhoto's library and/or the photos themselves. This was repeated 3 times; I copied all my other files to the drive then it unmounted on iPhoto. And, as I said, again when I started with a fresh reformat and just iPhoto. That does not seem like hardware to me if it is only happening with one set of files.
    I have managed to get the iPhoto library to work on my other external drive. It wanted a rebuild twice and a thumbnail rebuild once. I am now attempting to copy it over to the new HGST internal drive.
    Anyone have a suggestion for alternatives to iPhoto? I have aperture, maybe I will try that. But from what I understand, it just shares the same library as iPhoto.

  • IPhoto 11 - older photos only show as thumbnails

    I have upgraded both my MacBook Pros to iPhoto 11 and now some of my older photos only show as thumbnails and won't go full screen. I just get a triangle with a "!" on the screen.

    Give the following a try.  This will create a library with all of the full sized master files that are currently inside your iPhoto Libray package:
    Starting over from scratch with new library
    Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
    1. Open the library package like this.
    2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
    This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
    Note:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • Cannot print without the GRID showing thru...

    Apparently there is no way to print an imported Excel Sheet without the GRID.
    Every sheet is imported as a single table with it's GRID showing up as a visible border. Simply, it does not recognize the difference between a GRID and a BORDER.
    The only way to get rid of the GRID, is to completely reformat the document by taking out all BORDERS and applying new ones.
    That will not work! No one is going to spend time reformatting a document that works perfectly in Excel.
    Until this is solved, Numbers will seldom be used.

    I have a 20 tab excel workbook with several printed pages on each tab that I work with regularly. It has many text boxes, borders thicknesses,and hatches. It imports just fine into numbers with a little tweeking of content scale to get it to print one page wide. I tried cahnging the color of the cell borders to white and cell borders to none. Guess what? It takes out ALL the fancy ones as well.
    I am printing and submitting these sheet to a government facility and they are not complaining (so far) with ghost grid lines, But it sure would be appreciated to have more control over the printing of these unneeded gridlines.
    I really don't want to recreate the whole thing and am trying to abandoned my addiction to excel all together.

    I have had this problem also ever since I updated to 5.3,  I think it is a major bug!
    At random the preview window on the left doesnt show the preview of the presets anymore when I hover them, and when I click back and forth to other images it suddenly starts working again, its a very annoying problem and I cannot believe that Adobe isnt aware of it yet!

  • When I open an event, including flagged items, the photos appear one by one, not as thumbnails, so I can't export more than one phot at a time. How do I get iPhoto to show the thumbnails?

    When I open an event, including flagged items, the photos appear one by one, not as thumbnails, so I can't export more than one phot at a time. How do I get iPhoto to show the thumbnails?
    I've tried rebuilding the thumbnail database, but that hasn't helped.

    What version of iPhoto and system are you running?
    Try moving the Zoom slider at the bottom of the iPhoto window all the way to the left.  Does that let more than one photo display in the window?

  • When will finder show a thumbnail or preview of the raw file images from the Canon 5d mark iii?

    I am wondering if anyone has an update on when finder will show a thumbnail for the raw files from the Canon 5d mark III? I've done all the updates possible and nothing has changed, I can't do a quick preview either, it just shows the extension image, not the actual image taken. (The symbol for crw).

    I had the same problem for a Canon EOS-1D X and finally got around it by viewing the images in Adobe Bridge. Worked beautifully!

  • In Windows 8.1 Premiere Pro video imported clips shows up black screen in Source & Work space. Everything is updated on my PC.

    In Windows 8.1 Premiere Pro video imported clips shows up black screen in Source & Work space. Everything is updated on my PC. They say it could have been a Windows update? Is anyone else having this problem and found a solution any suggestions.. Thank you.

    Hello, thank you for your help. I finally was able to contact someone from Adobe on line.. It took about 1 hour on hold but I finally won the lotto...Lol. Pr.. /Project/Project Settings/General/ I had the (Mercury Playback Engine GPU Accelerated (CUDA) and not the (Mercury Playback Engine Software Only) It only took 1 second for Adobe to figure it out...Lol.
    Although I have a high rated Nvidia card that did handle the software for some time after a hack, I believe a Windows update may have altered my Premiere Pro CS6 settings.
    Video card is Geforce Nvidia GTX 765M non compatible with (Mercury Playback Engine GPU Accelerated (CUDA). Thank Ronin Edits and cvid01

  • Adobe Illustrator CS5 does not show PDF thumbnails when browsing

    When I am browsing through PDF files to open one of them in Adobe Illustrator CS5 it does not show the thumbnail.  When I am browsing in Adobe Acrobat it does show the thumbnails.  If I have Adobe Acrobat open and am browsing through files and the thumbnails are showing then if I open Adobe Illustrator and browse for a file the thumbnail does show up. 
    How can I get Illustrator to always show the PDF thumbnails.  I have to frequently browse through thousands of PDF files and it is imperative that I can see the thumbnail for these PDF files.  I primarily use Illustrator to edit PDF files.
    The computer is Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit edition.  Thumbnails barely work when browsing files through Explorer.  Some thumbnails will show, but not very many of them and it is extremely slow to load the thumbnails that will display.

    Bob,
    So I am assuming you are talking about viewing the files using this method first:
    To use the 32-bit version of Windows Explorer, follow these steps:
    Click Start, click Run, type the following in the Open box, and then click OK:
    Drive_Letter:\windows\syswow64\explorer.exe /separate
    Note The placeholder Drive_Letter represents the drive where the x64-based version of Windows is installed.
    Please let me know if I am missing what you are saying here.

  • Imported slide show into PE11 and some pics rotated unexpectedly, How can get back to horizontal?

    Imported slide show into PE11 and some pics rotated unexpectedly, How can get back to horizontal?

    winkhi
    Just what are the pixel dimensions of these photos that are automatically rotating on you in Premiere Elements 11 workspace after being transferred there from the Elements Organizer Slideshow Editor? Do I have that correct? If so, how are you making the transfer....Edit with Premiere Elements Editor, Burn to Disc, or other as Elements Organizer 11 Slideshow Editor output?
    What is the scenario...from the camera to the computer hard drive, landscape; from the computer hard drive to the Elements Organizer 11 Slideshow Editor, landscape; from the Elements Organizer 11 Slideshow Editor to Premiere Elements 11 Project Assets/Timeline, rotated to Portrait?
    Do you find that the frequency of the problem is related to pixel dimensions, number of photos used? What is the format of these photos, jpg or other?
    Are you using the Rotation option in the Applied Effects Tab/Applied Effects Palette/Motion Panel expanded to correct the photo rotation?
    Just some thoughts for now.

  • Problem with importing a show

    I'm very new to using iMovie. I've read some instructions and guides but nothing seems to explain it. I want to import a show that I downloaded, it is .avi. It's about 22 minutes long. It finished importing but came out white, completely blank. Am I allowed to import it? It has nothing to do with a camcorder. How do I sucessfully import the movie? Any tips on how to get it to import faster?
      Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Hi c11nfth:
    Welcome to discussions!
    First, you need to realize that an .avi is just a "container" - not a real file formaat. read this:

  • Show multiple thumbnails / documents

    Hi,
    got a problem with Acrobat 8.12 / WinXP. When I open two (or more) PDFs in order to drag and drop pages from one doc to another, I can't get the program to show two thumbnails pages the same way as it worked previously.
    Now there is only one thumbnail window that changes between the documents and I really can't figure out any way to drag the pages as thumbnails from one document to another.
    It does not seem to matter whether I use the option of opening all the documents in a single window or separate windows, either. I can, however drag an entire PDF to the thumbnails panel and it drops in just fine.
    I'm using a dual monitor setup with a Nvidia graphics card if that matters.
    TIA, Pisto

    Don't undock the thumbnail window. Execute the menu entry View > Navigation Panels > Dock All Panels.
