Import previews not showing

I am running Lightroom 3.4.1 on Windows Vista Pro 64 bit, everything has been working flawlessly for months. In the last few days when trying to import photos directly from the camera (5d mark II and 7d) the previews suddenly stopped showing - instead there is a grey box that says preview not available for this image. No matter what I try - I can't seem to get the previews to show again - anyone seen this or know of what the issue may be?
If I copy the files from the camera to the hard drive, and then import them from the hard drive - the previews show as per normal. If I go to a 32 bit machine - same configuration - the previews also show as per normal.
Thanks

No - I haven't found any solutions. I tried a new catalog, but same problem. It's difficult to troubleshoot because it works on my other machine, and it also works if I import from the hard drive.
Are you using a Canon camera? Shooting in Raw I assume?

ARQ: Role Import does not show roles in the preview

Dear All,
Recently I upgraded our system to SP#14. Now when I try to import roles from NWBC->AM->Role Mass Maintenance->Role Import, it does not show roles in preview. Also, it does not import the roles specified. (either a range or full name of the role). It does not even give any error message.
I implemented SAP note#1897975 Role import does not show roles in the preview.
Still facing the same problem. Has any one faced this problem? Please suggest.
Regards,
Faisal

HI Faisal,
This note(1897975) you have to implement in Plug-in System, try to check the same once and let me know if it resolves our issue.

My imports are not showing up in Photos or Events

My imports are not showing up in Photos or Events. The only place I can see them is in the "Last Import" folder. When I try to re-import them it pops up the Duplicate warning which means they are in the library but not showing up. Any ideas?

If they are in last import then they should be there - check the date on one of the photos in last import and look for that date in your library - last import, photos and events are simply different ways of viewing the same photos - if they are there in one view they are there in all views - somewhere
Select a pic in Last Import and Right-Click on it. Choose 'Show Event' from the menu. This will bring you to the Event containing the photo.
If the photo is in Last Import, then the photo is in the Library somewhere, just not where you expect it to be. Usual causes: the date on your camera is wrong, and so the date on the photo is wrong, or the sorting of the Events has changed (View Menu -> Sort Events)

TS2972 why is the import button not showing at the button right hand corner of iTunes?

why is the import button not showing at the bottom right hand corner of my ITunes page. I am trying to transfer files from my home share library onto a new computers library.

See if it isn't hidden under the View menu. iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.

Newly imported thumbnails not showing previews

Today when I was importing images off a memory card I noticed the thumbnails in library mode were not showing any previews, they were blank (gray) for only the recently imported items. My other folders' thumbnails are showing previews with no issue.
I am working in Lightroom 4. I am using Windows 8 on a HP laptop.
A couple of other notes about what I noticed...
1. In the import screen the thumbnails display the preview.
2. Once the import goes to the Library Mode - thumbnails are blank. Can only see the image number and any symbols indicating tags or changes to the image.
3. Loupe view I cannot get an image to appear.
4. In the Develop Mode if I click on a thumbnail down in the filmstrip (which are all blank) an image will appear in the work area and the filmstrip thumbnail will display a preview of the one I selected. The thumbnail preview will remain visible for a few moments after moving to a new image. Then it just goes blank again.
5. I was importing jpegs and dngs. Having the same problem with both of these today.
6. All the other thumbnails in folders that were in the catalog prior to today are visible and working normally.
I am wondering how to fix this problem of newly imported images not displaying an image in the thumbnail whether it is in Library Mode, Loupe View, or Develop mode.
Thank you for any help you can provide.

I'd delete the preview cache and rebuild - that may help (or it may not).
To do so, exit Lightroom, then delete .lrdata folder alongside .lrcat file.
PS - delete entire .lrdata folder, but do NOT delete .lrcat file or anything else.
(if it has 'Smart Previews' in the filename, don't delete it - just delete the other one).
Then, re-open Lightroom and rebuild previews using Library - Previews menu (optional, but probably worthwhile).
If no better, then you have an system/app problem as opposed to a preview-data problem.

Gmail Important folder not showing in Thunderbird

I am using a program called MailWasher (MW) to preview all the emails of six accounts. I have just had a case where it showed an email from Gmail, but when I did a Get Mail it did not appear.
Logging directly into Gmail I found that the message had been place in the Important folder. Doing a Reply in Gmail, again I saw an entry in MW but again, a Get Mail did not show anything.
Am I missing something here? I'm not sure just what rules Gmail is using to decide whether am email is 'Important' but I don't like the idea of Thunderbird not being able to display a message just because it seems to be put somewhere other than Inbox.

It's been a long time since I used gmail in anything other than IMAP, so I'm not sure what happens under POP.
Their operating principle with email is to label it, and then display it in the appropriate view. So mails tagged as "Important" will appear when you select ''Important'', which looks like a folder. In the IMAP world, a message labelled ''Important'' will appear both in its original folder (usually the Inbox) and in the ''Important'' folder. I'm surprised that yours appears to be ''moving'' messages.
Go to the gmail webpage and in your account settings, look for settings to manage these folders. I disable all the naff pre-categorization that google wants to do for me, such as Important and Social, Promotions, etc.

Iphoto preview not showing corrections with Yosemite

I created a new iPhoto file for 2015 and when I make adjustments to some of the photos with an outside editor (PhotoShop), the preview image does not show the corrections after making the changes. This has always worked before.
If I click to open the preview image after changes were made, the image shows with the corrections made but the menu under photos does not have the "revert to original" active and is grayed out, even though there have been changes. Yet, if I check the package contents of the 2015 iPhoto file to check the contents for the new pictures, the changed photos are shown under previews and the originals are shown in masters.
Since I got the iPhone, I had not used my digital camera since a June 2014 vacation. The preview corrections will always show if it is an iPhone picture but will not show the corrections if it is from my digital camera. If I export the camera photos with Image Capture to another folder not associated with iPhoto, then import the the pictures into iPhoto using the Import function, corrections will be saved and the preview will change to show the corrections (as previously). The picture also shows the revert to original option as available.
I had not used the camera since I upgraded to Yosemite so I went back to experiment in Mavericks which is on another drive and imported a test picture from the camera into iPhoto, made extreme changes to make it easier to see in the preview, and saved. The preview showed the corrections and iPhoto behaved as expected. I imported the same picture into Yosemite from the camera into iPhoto, made new radical changes and the preview did not change, no revert available, or the changes saved. Import in both instances was using the same picture on the same SDHC card in an external card reader.
These experiments seem to show that the problem is not my pictures or the card, but it a problem with iPhoto importing digital camera pictures under Yosemite. Since the iPhone imports directly and not through a reader, can it be that iPhoto under Yosemite has a problem communicating with the reader that does still work under Mavericks?
I know how to avoid the problem by this two step importing, although it will not break the photos into the auto-split of the events to individual days as would be if directly imported, but as one cluster of multiple day photos - a problem since I sort by date under View. The splitting by days is important for me. I do not want to sort trip pictures into individual days before importing as I might have as many as 1,000 photos in a single trip!
Is there a solution?

Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Screenshots are from PSE 10
Note 1: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.
Note 2: editing a RAW file with either PSE or PS creates a new file which must be saved outside of iPhoto, i.e. the Desktop, and imported as a new photo into the iPhoto Library.

Illustrator document thumbnail previews not showing in finder window

I am trying to find a way to view Illustrator document thumbnails (CS,CS2,CS3 and CS4) in Finder windows. Other documents such as .tiffs, jpgs, etc and Word and .pdfs show but not Illustrator.
I used +show view options+ in the Finder, turning on and off show icon, show icon preview and show preview in column. The options seem to affect all other files but not Illustrator. All I get is the application icon but not the document thumbnail. Interestingly, I discovered if I manually delete the .ai extension the documents thumbnail appears, so I tried to turn off the +Show all file extensions+ in the Finder's Preferences. It changed other files but not Illustrator. Does anyone know how to accomplish this on a global basis without manually changing each files extension? It would allow me to the use of Quick Look on these files also. I did speak to Adobe and they thought it was an OS issue.

This is a 'known' issue. Try SneakPeek Pro

Print preview not showing values correctly. (single words are omitted)

Hi,
When viewing print preview of ME23n , it does not shows the values correctly.
It omitting the single words.
If its having 2 or more words, it displaying correctly
For example;
This is the vendor & its address. (check attached image img1.jpg)
ZERANDIB BUSINESS APPLIANCES
Number-122/A
PO BOX 41,112,REID AVENUE
COLOMBO-04
When displaying the print preview, it shows only some parts of the above address
Shows only; (check attached image img2.jpg)
ZERANDIB BUSINESS APPLIANCES
PO BOX 41,112,REID AVENUE
These values are getting from a table called LFA1. I have checked that table & in that table all the values exists correctly.
I have noted issue is with, having only a single word. (If address or name having only a single word, that is without spaces, it will not going to show in the print preview) -
In the above example, it is not showing Number-122/A and COLOMBO-04 (Its a single word. No spaces there)
If its like --> Number - 122/A & COLOMBO - 04 , then it will display in the print preview correctly (where there are spaces after - mark)
check img3.jpg
If its having more than one word, then it will display correctly in the print preview. As below;
ZERANDIB BUSINESS APPLIANCES
Number - 122/A
PO BOX 41,112,REID AVENUE
COLOMBO - 04
Any ideas how to resolve this issue?
Is there any thing to do with printer settings & configurations / netweaver admin point of view?
Best Regards.
Zerandib

Hi Zerandib,
By the way , since its a standard program, i think that code is out of our scope.
Me23N is a standard tcode but cusomters create Z-Program for printing by making a copy of standard.
You may please check upon the same.
Is it possible to check the results on a system where patch has not been applied ?

Custom Quartz Filter In Preview Not Showing Up

In Snow Leopard, I could create a custom ColorSync profile to reduce PDF size (but not with quite as a dramatic drop in quality as the default PDF Reduce File Size) and it would show up in Preview as an option.
Now, in Lion, I still have the profiles, but they do not show up in Preview as a choice. I also cannot edit the default Reduce File Size profile in ColorSync as it is perma-locked.

Ok, got it now.
Needed to generate new filters (Kopy the normal Reduce File size and changed it)
Then I had to transfer them like midnightmac said.
And then it works. I reduced 11,5 MB to 2,7 MB with still accaptable results.
Thanks all together

Preview not showing photos after upgrade to 10.5.3

Hi
Since I upgraded to OS 10.5.3, my Preview program will open and seems to run properly...
Except that I cannot actually see the photo that is open. The Preview toolbar shows and I can select the various options. But there is no window with the photo in it.
Any clues?
I already deleted the related plist files in User Library/Preferences. This did not change a thing.
Thank you for your thoughts.
Dominique =)

Maybe deleting those plist files did work in the end - as this is the only thing I attempted to do to solve the issue, since I upgraded to 10.5.3 2 days ago.
It took a few minutes, but all of a sudden, my Preview application was working as normal.

Imported pics not showing in 'photo' area since 3 weeks

When I open iphoto on the left under Library I have Events, Photos, Faces, Places. In 'Photos' it shows all my photos not split into events simply ordered via date. Each time I import new photos, they should appear in this section.
For the past 3 - 4 weeks new photos are importing fine and creating new events, but these pictures are not showing in the 'photos' section. This is so annoying as I often want easy access to my most recently imported photos ('last import' not always helpful as I may want 3 recent imports worth).
I have done the reboot thing where you open iphoto with command + option pressed, tick all the boxes and restore your entire library and this had absolutely no impact.
Can anyone help? I really don't want to call support on the telephone and apple offers no email support- I'm pretty disgusted with their service so far.
Thanks!

Telling me I don't have a problem when I have already said I do, isn't that helpful.
I did have the foresight to check the sort (by date, ascending as always) and change it around however I've just looked at the date of the most recent photo in 'photos' (12th August) and compared this to the date of the photos in 'Last Import' (which was done today) and can see that the photos I've imported for the past 3 weeks all have the date of February 2010 despite being taken (on my iphone) in the past 3 weeks.
The date setting on my mobile is correct but I must have amended a setting somewhere on there, rather than in iphoto.
Thank you anyway I suppose.

Importing songs not showing up in itunes

I have about 200gb of music on an external hd. I import songs into itunes (it shows adding files) but I can not find the songs in itune. Or it will import 1-5 songs out of the 15 or so that were in the folder I was attempting to import.
I tried to import all 200gb of music but only about 1/4 is showing up in itunes.
I have even draged and dropped songs from ext. hd into itunes using my computer window next to itunes. It shows a + sign next to song as it is added, but I can not find it in itunes then.
Any body have this problem?
Any suggestions on how to remedy?
Much Thanks!!!
Windows XP Pro

I followed the instructions for transfering a library
from Windows to a Mac and so far it's gone fine. Now
I'm trying to get the songs to show up in iTunes with
no success. I dragged the library from the iPod to
the music folder under documents, on the mac. It's
still not showing up in iTunes. I tried importing
these songs from that location and it brings up the
error message: "The file "Itunes Library.itl" cannot
be imported because it does not appear to be a valid
exported file" Any help would be greatly, greatly
appreciated. If you need any clarity because I know
it's jumbled, just let me know.

I tried the suggestions of other users to import from an external drive with the same result as you. I resolved this by instead selecting add to library and then browsing to the itunes folder on the external drive. It then copied all the contents to iTunes on the Mac.

Imported songs not showing up in iTunes

Just imported a CD. They are not in my iTunes library, but the files are there in the directory on the back end. I even watched iCloud upload them, but the tracks are not showing up in iTunes even when searching for them. Any ideas?!?!?

I have this same problem. Import songs from CD or from a MP3 Folder or if I add a movie, nothing shows up in itunes.
If I do a search of the media folder in iTunes I can see it there. Even My Apple TV can see the uploads and play them.
This all seems to have started after the latest update to Lion.
I have downloaded iTunes again and reinstalled it but it made no difference.
iTunes is importing ok it's just not displaying the newly imported items :-(
