IPhoto Thumbnails missing, rebuild does not work

All the Thumbnails in iPhoto 8.1 are grey. I tried to rebuild them several times by pressing alt + cmd during the start.
Also tried the other options, nothing helped.
When iPhoto starts, it always is rebuilding the thumbnail cache.
I even tried to reinstall the software, but I couldn't figure out how to import all of them without having duplicates from the originals and modified folder. So at the end I restored the iPhoto Library with time machine.
Any solutions?

Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

Just upgraded to iPhoto 11. slideshow does not work. just is black.

I just upgraded to iPhoto 11. I am on a MacPro desktop.
Slideshow does not work for either the existing slideshows or to create new one.
Just a black screen. When you click on the slideshow button it fades for a microsecond like it is going to go to slideshow...but then just a black box where teh photo should be.

Can you view the photos normally at full size?

HT4236 Ever since I got the iTunes upgrade, iPhoto does not open and take the photos from my iPhone. I have the older version of iPhoto, so Photo Stream does not work. Can you please help?

You can stop new photos being automatically added to Photostream in iPhoto from iPhoto preferences > Photostream.

Find Missing Folder - does not work. Please help!

Has anyone had this problem? This is driving me crazy. Any time I rename or move a folder and try to use the "Find Missing Folder" option it does not show any of my hard drives! It has been like this through several LR updates. I kept praying the next release of lightroom would fix this, but so far no luck.

Did you try clicking on the left menu, on the _folder_, and selecting "Update folder location"?
You can also try "promote parent folder" to move it up the chain and find the missing drives...
Cheers!

Indexing rebuild does not work

The Windows.edb file is 49GB now. I want to erase this file and rebuild the search index. I clicked the Rebuild button, but nothing happens. Could anyone shed some light on this?
Hong

Hi,
Sorry for not being clear, the KB2836988 is just applied to Windows 8 or Windows server 2012 indeed. What I mean above is suggest you follow its following method to reduce Window.edb file size:
How to delete and rebuild index
How to offline defrag the index
On the other hand, the kb already note that:
This update is preventative, but not corrective. To reduce the size of a Windows.edb file that is already affected by this issue, you must rebuild the search index after you install this update.
Therefore, it's a better choice to follow these two method fix this problem.

"Revert to Original" does not work.

I recently upgraded from iPhoto 4 to 5 (5.0.4). While browsing, I decided to revert some edited photos (edited in iPhoto 4) back to their original state by using the "Revert to Original" menu item. I got a confirmation dialog which I clicked "OK". Nothing happened! The "Revert to Original" menu item was not grayed out after this attempt so I repeated the process no to avail. I have verified that the original/unedited file is in the "Original" folder inside the iPhoto Library folder.
I am able to revert to the original if I edit a previously unedited photo in iPhoto 5 for the first time. The problem seems to be limited to just those photos that were originally edited in iPhoto 4 and then converted to the new iPhoto 5 library.
Any ideas?

Mike:
First try manually setting the permissions on your iPhoto Library folder and contents as follows:
Setting Permissions for iPhoto Library Folder
1 - Select the iPhoto Library folder and type Command-I.
2 - When the Info window comes up go to the Ownership and Permissions section and make sure You have Read & Write permission and that the Owner and Group have Read & Write also. Others - Read Only.
3 - Then click on the "Apply to enclosed items..." button.
If that doesn't help you can, after making a duplicate copy of your iPhoto Library folder, rebuild the library by launching iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all of the options but the last one, orphans may bring in those non-recoverable originals as new files. You can select it or not. If you have a large library you might want to to save having to go back and redo in case the first rebuild does not work.

Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache folder(s):
Home/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
and, if there is one, the
Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: For Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:

Adobe thumbnail preview does not work in adobe acrobat 8.0

Thumbnail preview works in adobe reader 9 but does not work in adobe 8.0

I have small issue. Thumbnail works in adobe reader 9 but but does not work in adobe acrobat 8.0 in win xp

Anyone going to tell me how to do this uninstalling and installing??????????
I don't want to mess things up even more! Geez--I'm almost 60 years old,
need to work and this might be costing me a job. I'm not 20 and text and
e-mail etc every day. I'm just asking for a little help that as I see it ,
is due to a "glitch" with Adobe's software. They can easily in their
technological minds put a warning on anything before someone downloads
anything such as "If you download this and you have already downloaded
that,, then it won't work." How tough would that be??? They, like most other
major corporations, are in it for the money. What has happened to customer
service???
I need a step by step with my hand held and so it won't screw up things even
MORE. Adobe...get your customer service and your software together...This is
draining. I may lose a job over it. I need to have my computer running well
at this point in time as there is no extra time to spend dealing with
software issue that are a result of Adobe's software incompatibility.
I was on the phone for TWO hours last night telling people exactly what was
going on. I even read the error message word for word. No one would help me
unless I coughed up the money that I don't have...and in addition I will
lose a job that might get me some money. This is why I am so upset. Why is
dealing with Adobe always so difficult??? Of course, I am upset. I'm
actually a lovely person. It is just that this stuff rattles my nerves.
Especially when there is a jobwith a raiseinvolved that I may lose as a
result.
Now I had better get dressed and ready for the job I have now before I am
late for work and lose that job, too.....

Iphoto slideshow does not work after SL upgrade

Hi, i have a 2 month old macbook pro 3.06Ghz and after i upgraded to SL i have several problems: Toast does not work, my pretty new HP 4480 Photosmart Printer works but the scanner function not (error message comes up no connection to scanner), etc. but the biggest problem right now is that iPhoto does not work anymore. i use it a lot and i have over 20000 photos on it. before with leopard it was working fine, but now after scrolling through a few photos iphoto get stucked for a few minutes before it runs again. the slideshow feature doesn't work. i read a few forums about this or similar problems but all the advise didn't help. i reinstalled the iphoto from the original computer disc and later from a life 9 disc as well. first the slideshow works once or twice with only a few pics, but later it turns the slideshow on but get stucked and the only way to get out of the frozen screen is by turning the computer off (holding OFF button down). i did also verify disc permission and disc repair = no help. what can i do?

after 2,5 days (spending half a day within the apple shop as well with this problem) i have it all back on track.
i did a lot of different things: trying to remove and reinstall iPhoto; did a SL installation over the old SL I had on my HD; backing up all the data of course before and reformatting my HD and installing a new clean SL version on it + a new clean version of iLife9 with all the updates and than I migrate with migrate assistant all the data and setting with time machine back onto it, but all this didn't work, because it also migrated the error/bug through time machine with it.
so at the end i just installed a brand new, clean SL version on my hard drive, than I did the updates and put all my data, photos, docs, movies, mail, bookmarks, music, etc manual back into the system (drag and drop from my external HD, where i had an exact copy of my internal HD) and did all the settings again in all the different programs.
the only thing i used migrant assistant with time machine for was for the programs. it seems to work now all fine and i even got more free space on my HD, because some of the old stuff i always carried with me but i never used, i didn't take over.
basically everything is clean now. At least i hope and works fine. touch wood!

Thumbnail view for Library copied from Asset Library does not work

Hello ,
I created list definition based on Assed Library (I copied files from \15\TEMPLATE\FEATURES\AssetLibrary\AssetLibrary ) - I reused schema.xml and other files.
Then I added my new custom content type.
The problem is following: thumbnail view does not work now ( "/AssetLibraryDemo/Forms/Thumbnails.aspx" )
I don't have any javascript errors and any specific error in ULS log.
Can you give me advice, why thumbnail view has stopped working?

I need to use "List teplates" gallery functionality for this task.

My Iphoto does not work properly after downloading Maverick. How can I fix it ?

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you mean by not working properly? Explain in detail.
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?
