Imported photos not showing thumbnails

I'm brand spankin' new to iMovie and can't seem to get my photo thumbnails to show.
I want to drag and drop folders into iMovie but when I do, all I get is a generic icon and no thumbnail of the image.,
They do show up when I preload them into iPhoto and then open iMovie, but I've got thousands of images and I'm not going to be loading them into iPhoto because iPhoto takes up so much space when you import images (about 2mb per image).
So, is there a way to get these thumbnails to show up? The images are jpg and CR2 and both worked with iPhoto, but not a direct import.
Thanks for any help!!
Brian

Check your camera date - typically this is due to the event sorting in to an expected place due to incorrect the incorrect dates

Imported Photos not showing up in Library of I-Photo

I am converting old slides on a Wolverine SNaP converter. The digital images show up in the "Last Import" window after importing them, and I can drag them into a folder I create, but when I go to the Library they aren't there. Does anybody have a similar experience? How can I get them to show up in the Library?

Thank you. I did find it. I am not familiar with the way things get organized in iphoto. I expected new photos to show up at the bottom of the library as they usually do. I still haven't found them when looking in the library itself but I did find them when looking at the events.

Ipad imported photos not showing

hi. My last batch of imported photos (taken on a Nikon D70, and imported by apple sdcard device on a raw format) are not showing in lightroom but is in the cameroll. Some older photos are showing. Any ideas?

You'll have to transfer them from the pc to the mac.
There are some options

IPhone 4 imported photo not showing on iMac

What has been happening lately is weird.
We have two iPhone 4 and we always import photo into our iMac with OS X 10.9.2. The iPhoto version is 9.5.1.
When we import the pictures these are not showing completely see screenshot.
Has anyone experienced this issue? Do you know how to solve it?
Thanks

Here is another picture after importing.

Imported photos not showing up in iMovie

Not all of my iPhoto pictures can be seen in the photo dialog box in iMovie. I have done a bit of research, and it appears that I am having problems with the photos I have imported. Since I am working on a collaborative project where I get photos from other parties, importing photos is the only way I can get photos from other people. Does anyone have a solution?? This is a bit urgent!! I am using iMovie '09 with OS 10.9.1.

I'm not familiar with iPhoto since I don't use it, but if you want to use photos sent to you from others there is no need to go via iPhoto. Just save the photos in some convenient folder and drag and drop the photo files with Finder directly into your iMovie timeline.

IPhoto import does not show thumbnails

Since upgrading to iPhoto 9.2.1 on my wifes iMac the thumbnails do not come up for import when inserting a SD card. In order to import we have to go to Files>Import to Library and a list of images comes up, not the thumbnails. How can we get the thumbnails to come automaticaly when inserting a SD card?

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) 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?

IPhoto 9 - Photoshop Elements 9: Saved photos not showing thumbnails

After editing iPhoto images in PE9 and saving them, I cannot see the updated thumbnail in iPhoto. If I double-click on the photo, I can see the edited version, but where is the updated thumbnail?
I read Old Toad's advice to set the file saving preferences in PE9 to overwrite the existing file, and that helped with the problem of having a strange file window pop up when I tried to save in PE9, but if there's another setting to handle this thumbnail problem, I haven't found it.

How are you doing this? It sounds like you might be saving as into the iPhoto library rather than correctly setting PE9 as the iPhoto external editor and then saving (not saving as)

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)

IMovie seems to have developed a glitch. When i try to import photos they show in the timeline but not in the movie.

You are probably looking in the wrong place - all photos in Photo view and in event too unless you have a corrupted library
most common cause of your not finding them is bad sort - view menu ==> sort events
Nest most common cause is a bad data/time on the camera - this can be corrected using a smart album to find the photos from that camera and then using using the adjust time/date command to fix the bad ones
YOu can alwasy find the event a Photo is in by selecting it and selecting show event

DNG files created with LR4 do not show thumbnails

Hi,
When using LR3 to create DNG files from my RAW files, those files would show me thumbnails of my image in Windows Explorer. I am running Windows/7 (64) and have installed a CODEC from "Fast Picture Viewer" that allows thumbnails from RAW & DNG files to be shown. It seems, however, that the thumbnails do not show for DNG's created with LR4.
To Remedy this I uninstalled the CODEC. Downloaded the most recent version and installed it but this did not fix the problem.
I then went to the user forum for the CODEC product and searched for my problem. I found a thread who's solution is to turn off "Embed Fast Load Data" when exporting to DNG and it fixes the problem. I tried this and indeed it did fix it. The responder went on to say ".....When this option is enabled the files created are no longer DNGs (just an undocumented private format of Adobe that no one else can read to this date)". This statement surprised me as it is counter to what I understand Adobe created DNG to be. Can I get some input on this comment as if true it is very troubling.
My second question is that I see where to turn off the "Embed Fast Load Data" in the LR Export module, but where do I do the same thing in the Import module when I'm selecting import mode "Copy to DNG"?
And, my thrid question is this. If indeed the DNG files created by LR4 are proper DNG files and this CODEC is just flawed in some way, does anyone have a better way to allow image thumbnails to be shown in Windows Explorer?
Thanks -- Dan

Hi David,
You testing does not coincide with mine. I have consistently kept "Use
lossy compression" turned off. With lossy turned off, it seems that using
Fast Data Load prevents the thumbnails from displaying whereas turning off
"Fast Data Load" allows the thumbnail to be shown.
Below is comment from Adobe confirming that they have yet to release the
spec containing "Fast Data Load".

Slideshow: why do certain photos not show?

slideshow: why do certain photos not show; they are properly referenced
Let me expand on this: I have 570 photos in a slide show and all are properly referenced in my library. In the slideshow window, I can see all the pics in the bottom box and when I run "preview slideshow", certain pictures don't appear in the top box whilst the curser moves across the picture in the bottom box. Likewise, if I run the full screen slideshow, that picture(s) does not appear (I have a blank screen); the next picture does show up, howerver... This happens with several dozen pictures, always the same, randomnley amongst the 570...

Hello Tony and thank you. I regenerated and rebuilt thumbnails; I deleted the slide show and rebuilt it; nothing works. Now, I noticed something weird. All pictures are in an Aperture project and are properly referenced as I said; all the pictures in this project come from a old iPhoto project where some of the pictures are in a "Modified" folder, others in an "Original" project; it is all the pictures in the "Original" project that don't show up in the slide show.... Do you have any idea what I should do?

Is your QuickTime up to date?
Video importing requires QuickTime 7.6.2 or later.

Please help!! I got my iPhone 4s screen fixed, now in my Photos it shows nothing, although in my memory usage it shows 10.5gb of photos, thats 2000 photos not showing up. What happened?! Where did all my photos go?!

I got my iPhone 4s screen fixed, now in my Photos it shows nothing, although in my memory usage it shows 10.5gb of photos, thats 2000 photos not showing up. What happened?! Where did all my photos go?!

WOOHOO!!! i finaly fixed the problem. Here is what to do:
Chances are if you did the same thing as me you either have
A) No album names at all for ALL your songs in your library
or
B) Have the same name for every album for ALL your songs in your library.
Here is how to fix it (yah it will take a little work but its worth getting your iPod functioning properly).
Unless you dont want to have to go and actualy set al lthe album names for every song here is what you can do:
Go through to iTunes and arange your songs by Artist name. Click the top song for your first artist, hold Shift and click the last song for that same artist (to multi select all the songs for the artist) go into get info and check the Album box. Copy the name of the artist to the Album box and hit ok.
Now when u update your ipod and go into ur Artists section the actual Artist name should show up instead of the song names.
For some reason having the same album name for all your songs messes up the organization of the iPod.
Hope this helps anyone else that is having the same problem

My Photo Not Showing Up in Messages

My photo does not show beside my texts in Messages on my Mac. Only a shadow of a generic person in a rectangle is there. I can see the photos of others who write me, though. I have my photo in Contacts and it does show up in Mail, but not in Messages. My photo also shows up in IMessage on the iPad.
Why is my photo not showing up in Messages and how could I make it visible? Thanks.

HI,
Your Pic is set if you have Buddy list set up/logged in.
Enable the Bonjour account if you do not have Jabber, AIM or Yahoo IDs set up in Messages.
Click on the current Buddy Pic.
You may find it has pulled the Pic from the My Card in the Contacts app (Formerly the Address Book)
In turn this may be picking up on the System Preferences > User and Groups > your account Login pic.
That is to say when you set up the (Mac User) Account it asked you to create/chose a pic from the Login Screen.
Later the process of setting up an Accounts asked for details that create the Contacts/Address Book Card and the Login in pic is dragged across.
AS you then get to set up Messages (Or iChat) then the My Card pic is pulled through.
All three spots can be changed independently of each other.
Some of the Recent Items can be from either of the others.
This is my Buddy list pic and th "Recents" I have.
The Zebra and head in "teeth" pics are from some testing I did with Pics in the Contacts > My Card options rather than Messages.
Finally once you have a pic linked to Messages then it also show up at your end for the Chat window for iMessages (as well as for you in AIM or Jabber)
NOTE
In AIM and Jabber (Or Yahoo) your Pic is Broadcast and is what you Buddy sees next to your Name (They can override this though)
In iMessages though your pic is not sent and your Buddy's Contacts app supplies whatever pic they have for you. (As yours does for them)

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.
Regards,
Neeraj Agarwal
