IPhoto Preview Thumbnails not showing up in FrontRow

When cycling through my albums and slideshows I am not seeing the preview images to the left of the iPhoto titles. I tried rebuilding the iPhoto Thumbnails and database using the Cmd-Opt keys when starting iPhoto and that still did not do it. The odd thing is if I edit an image in iPhoto and it saves the new file then a preview shows up in Front Row. Then you can see that Front Row is trying to cycle throught the rest of the thumbnails since the preview area stutters a bit. The images in my iPhoto library are all JPEGs and when I look in the /users/me/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Data/YYYY/ ... There are thumbnails in those directories as I would expect. I am using a brand new iMac and I did a firewire transfer of my stuff from my powerbook al when I took the machine out of the box. I also deleted all my iPhoto pictures in my library (I have a backup) using iPhoto and started adding fresh jpegs...still the same behavior. I posted this problem on the Front Row forum and Doug feels this is an iPhoto problem. Is this a bug? Is there a preference setting that I am missing?
Thanks

TD,
Thanks, The photos appear in iPhoto in the expected manner. I looked for a front row cache and Doug in the Front Row forum seemed to think that Front Row is just dipping into the iPhoto Thumbnails instead of having its own "cache". Seems like I am in a stalemate hear. I am fairly new to the Mac community. My last Mac was an SE30, which went out of my life long ago. Is there any way to find out if this a bug or bring this to Apple's attention?
Thanks

  • Videos in some iPhotos Albums do not show up on Apple TV.

    Videos in some iPhotos Albums do not show up on Apple TV. Videos in other folders are there. For instance, one album has 43 videos and 1600 photos. Apple TV only shows the 1600 photos. Is there an issue with albums that have both photos and videos?

    You can only view that rental on the iPad. For it to show up it has to be rented directly on ATV or through a computer and streamed via home sharing

    It is also posible to go back to the imovie you had before, it is still on your computer - you go to Finder and it is in a folder in your programs. Many others have gone back to the old program, and perhaps I am also going to do that too.
    In the new imovie it does not come up the question "do you want to download these videos ...."
    You shall in imovie open your iphotolibrary in top on the left side,( it is standing under libraries) and  you can see all the events you have in iphoto, then you can open the event, you shall use and drag the movies and pictures from the events in iphoto to an events in imovie. If you can,t see your libraries, you can click on a show button on top of the left side.
    On the picture you see here iphoto is market on the top of the left side and the pictures to the left is my iphoto-events - and there I can open the one I shall use, and find my movies.

  • Preview does not show any postscript files

    Preview does not show any .ps files in Mac OS 10.4.3. I get an error message "PostScript Conversion Error" when Preview tries to convert the ps file into pdf.
    (I print online banking invoices to postscript using the print option "save as file", because the pdf option isn't always available as a file format.)
    How can I view my ps files?
    (this is a cross-post from the print/fax forum, as no one answered my question there)

    Thanks for the tip. I downloaded Ghostscript, installed it but can't find it once installed and nothing has changed.
    I did however find out that only my online banking PostScript files are unreadable. Other PS files I create with my Canon printer menu are automatically converted into PDF by Preview without a problem. So it must have something to do with the document header or whatever of the online banking files.

  • Import iPhoto Flip video - not showing.

    Running iMovie 09. iPhoto '11 (9.1.5). Imported video from Flip into iPhoto. Video not showing in iMovie. Is this a format issue? Is there a workaround?
    Thanks

    Make sure that if the Flip came with a disk or software to be installed, that you run the installer. I've got a first gen. Flip mino that requires something called a 'codec' to be installed before the video clips can playback. In my case it's a piece of software from a company called 3ivx.

  • Preview icon not showing when in thumbnail. (Sketchu

    Hello,
    I recently updated my MBP to Yosemite and installed sketchup on it.
    The preview icon of my sketchup files are not showing when in thumbnail. But as i increase the size of the icon from thumbnail in viewoption i.e from 64px x 64px to 124px x 124px it shows. So my icon is shown as blank without any app logo. Also when i change my view from thumbnail to coverflow or something it shows. Otherthan thumbnail everything works.
    So where is the error in it?
    Please help...
    Thanks
    Amar

    Try the standard fixes:
    - Rest. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • 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.

  • Preview app not showing thumbnails view scrambled

    Hi,
    since i updated to maverick last week i got an issue with the Mac Preview app, it opens the documents ok, but when opening several files at the time, the thumbnails are all scrambled and not showing the miniature of the selected file.
    if i click on the thmbnails area and navigate with the keyboard's arrows it allows me to go through the open files, all files open ok but the thumbnails is the only part that is having this issue.
    i have deleted the com.apple.Preview from ~\Library\Containers but still having the issue.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Changes made in iphoto library are not showing up in aperture

    I currently have Aperture referencing my photos off of my iphoto library. I have made changes (consolidated a couple of events) and imported more photos from my camera and both are not showing up in Aperture.
    The new photos I imported were placed into an existing event (in both iphoto and aperture).
    How do I get aperture to recognize the changes I made in organizing my library?
    Thanks
    Michael

    Aperture won't know that you've made changes to your iPhoto library, and therefore won't redraw the thumbnail or update the main image. The way iPhoto works that if you make a change, it'll create another JPG and store it within the iPhoto Library folder or package (depending on which version you're on). If Aperture is still referencing the original image (quite likely), its not going to know iPhoto has created another one, and even more so, where that file is. You can do it the other way around and up date the to, for example, have images in your Aperture library, referenced to your iPhoto library. If you change the image in Aperture, it will update in iPhoto using the JPEG previews. The only thing that might not change is the iPhoto thumbnail, but the image itself will bring through the changes from Aperture as technically, its the same file is looking at.

  • Thumbnails not showing

    Hi,
    I just purchased and installed Lightroom 5.3 on my Win 8.1 Asus UX32VD and the preview thumbnails are not showing as you can see in the screenshot below, and as described in this page: http://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom/kb/photos-appear-black-gray-rectangles.html
    I have gone through the steps described and had no joy.

  • Iphoto issue: images not showing up

    When importing photos to my iPhoto 9.6 to my iMac OS X Yosemite 10.10.1, and even some preexisting photos, from my iPhone 4Sthe pictures do not show up.  Instead a black box appears but the image cannot be viewed.  Why is this?  Someone told me it has to do with the upgrade to Yosemite...
    thanks,

    Rebuild the thumbnails:
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails. It can take 3 or 4 goes for this to work

  • Iphoto 6 photos not showing at all

    I have been using Iphoto 6 for a while now and after I updated the software, most of my pictures show up as grey boxes with an exclamation mark on them. How do i see my pictures?? When I double click on the pictures that are actually seen, they pop up as grey boxes once again.
    Please help!

    The ! or ? turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    The most common cause of this is User Activity in the iPhoto Library Folder in the Finder.
    Have you altered, moved or renamed anything in the iPhoto Library Folder?
    If you haven't, then try rebuilding the database. Hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose the top three options.
    If that fails:
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
    Regards
    TD

  • IPhoto book - pic not showing

    I am creating a iPhoto book. When I view in slideshow mode one of the pics does not show up. How do I ensure that this pic will be on my final product?

    Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
