Lost thumbnail view in library window

All my photos now display full size rather than thumnails as a result of my baby daughter hitting a key and for the life of me I can't work out how to get it back. Can anyone please help?
Many thanks
Adrian

I believe is is the size bar in the lower right that will resize the pictures for you.
I have an issue with iPhoto myself. When I click the icon in my menu bar iphoto starts up but the library window that contains all the pictures does not appear. Any ideas on this one? Thanks....Mike

Lost Thumbnail View of library suddenly!

I was transferring a photo that was misdated as a 2005 photo and when I went to look for it in the 2005 folder, I hit "organize" which usually brings me back to my preferred thumbnail view of all my shots in chronilogical order. Well, they are still in chron order from new to old but only full view is available. I have checked all the options on the toolbar, looked in preferences to see if there was an option to "view thumbnails". NOTHING. Any help?

Hi, Kristin. Your mistake was thinking it would be OK to move anything around inside your iPhoto Library folder. It isn't. Stay out of there at all times. Only iPhoto itself should ever arrange, rearrange, move, edit or rename anything inside that folder, as this quote from iPhoto Help indicates:
"Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto Library folder
If you move, delete, rename, or otherwise tamper with files or folders in the iPhoto Library folder, you may be unable to see your pictures in iPhoto."
This is a real annoyance, and it flies in the face of a core principle that all long-time Mac users take for granted: that they're in charge of where things are filed on their computers. But it's a fact, and you ignore it at your peril.
You may be able to regain access to your photo library by rebuilding it. To do so, hold down the Shift and Option keys while you open iPhoto, and click OK when you're asked if you want to rebuild the library.

Lost thumbnail view in iPhoto Library

I've been working on a very large iMovie project which is not going so well and somehow I lost my thumbnail views next to the iPhoto Library Source. I have tried everything, and like when I click on "View" I cannot highlight "show thumbnails". I have researched topics and found one that talks about the Pictures Folder & what folders contain what, and nothing on how to get my thumbnails back. It is almost impossible to organize without them. Help please, I don't know what happened.
Thank You,
Marge

Marge,
In the view menu, "show thumbnails" is only an active option when you are in one of iPhoto's edit modes: it refers to the horizontal strip of thumbnails that can be shown (or hidden) across the top of the iPhoto window. When you are viewing your library or an album, it is normal for this option to be gray.
That being said, what do you see in the iPhoto window? Are any of your photos visible? Do you have blank gray squares? Have you tried using the slider in the bottom right of the window to change the size of the thumbnails (if this is all the way to the right you will only see one photo at a time).
Have you ever used the Finder to change anything in your iPhoto Library folder in any way? (This includes renaming and moving files or folders.) This causes big problems, so if you have, post back with some details and we'll try to help you repair the damage.
If iPhoto is acting quirky you can delete its preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist. Find it inside Home/ Library/ Preferences. Then when you launch iPhoto your preferences will be reset to their defaults, so you may need to reset them back to your liking.
One more thing to try is a database rebuild. Hold the Command and Option keys while launching iPhoto. Check the first 3 options and let it work. It can take a few minutes. This process allows iPhoto to recreate its database file, which can improve performance and stability if that file was causing problems.
Post back with some of the above info, and we'll go from there.

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.

Lost feature viewing all active windows

MacBook, Yosemite
Just upgraded to 10.10.2. Used to be able to see all the active windows in Words, for example, by pointing the mouse to the lower right corner. Don't know what that feature is called, so can't find instructions.
I checked for "multiple screen" display, but I get the message: "The Arrangement tab of Displays preferences is hidden because you only have a single display attached to this computer." so I assume that's not it...
Thanks!

Hello LinaOdi,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you're looking for the Hot Corners feature. You can find this setting by choosing Apple menu > System Preferences, then clicking Mission Control. Look for the Hot Corners button in the lower left corner of the window.
You can set your preferred hot corner to "Application Windows" to see all windows of a single application, or "Mission Control" to see windows for all the open apps on your Mac.
Check out this link for more help with Mission Control:

Thumbnail view missing with upgrade to CS5

Since I have upgraded to Photoshop CS5 I no longer see thumbnails in Windows Explorer (XP), just the Photoshop icon.
Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks!

The use of the word "never" is wrong.
Photoshop used to ship with a DLL that would make thumbnail views possible in Windows Explorer. Apparently it caused system conflicts, and it never was made to work with 64 bit systems, and it's simply no longer provided by Adobe.
But take heart, there are several 3rd party companies that sell inexpensive codec packs that provide thumbnail decoders that will show you thumbnails (or even previews) for things like .psd files and raw camera files.
Here's the one I bought and like: Fast Picture Viewer Codec Pack - http://www.fastpictureviewer.com/codecs/

Application Thumbnail view (like Win7) in ML?

I have several users that are accustomed to Windows, and a request came though to inquire about application thumbnail views.
In Windows, lets say you have 3 Excel sheets open. You see the Excel documents open on your task bar, and when you hover over them you can see that you have 3 files open and a thumbnail of each is shown.
Is there anything similar to this in the Mac OS? It is confusing for some users because you cannot tell how many files are open in a particular program; all you can see is that the program is running in the OS (White dot next to App icon in the Dock).

Thanks much! It's suprising... Ive read quite a bit of documentation and havent come across that feature.

Adobe Illustrator thumbnail view in a Picture Library?

We are using Adobe Illustrator and we need to see the thumbnails in a picture library. All of the other images work, but not the AI files.
We got the 16x16 icons added for AI for the details view, but we haven't been able to figure out where the thumbnail's are generated from. Searching the internet hasn't worked yet, (must not have the right combination of search words), so I'm hoping
that someone here can offer some suggestions.
If anyone knows how to do this I would greatly appreciate hearing it.
Thanks.
Ted

View webpages in full screen
In many applications on the Mac, including Safari, you can expand the window to fill your entire screen. You can make a webpage full-screen with one click, and switch to another webpage (or full-screen window in another application) with a swipe of the trackpad.
IMPORTANT:Viewing in full screen, and the Mission Control feature, are available only if you have Mac OS X v10.7 Lion or later. For information on upgrading Mac OS X, go to the Mac OS X website.
OS X website
To enlarge a webpage so it uses the screen, click the arrows in the top-right corner of an application window:
To move from one window to another in full screen view, swipe left and right, or press the arrow keys on your keyboard.
To return to standard view, click the arrows in the window’s upper-right corner:
If you prefer viewing webpages in full screen, Mission Control lets you see everything running on your Mac, including your full screen windows. Mission Control presents your full screen windows as thumbnail images, making it easy for you to move from one to another.

New Pages no longer allows SECTIONS (in thumbnail view window) to be re-arranged like before?

New Pages no longer allows SECTIONS (in thumbnail view window) to be re-arranged like before? You could drag and drop sections within your document the same way you could drag and drop pages in Preview's PDF documents. So how do you re-arrnage your document now?
ALSO
You used to be able to duplicate/copy a section/page by draging it with OPTION-LEFT-CLICK to a space below or above in the thumbnial window. The same way it works in PREVIEW in a PDF document. Did I miss something or is this also a bug?!
These were extremely helpful to me and I hope many others. Can anyone help!?
Thanks :-)

Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5.

Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Archive/trash Pages 5 and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

Hi - just using the new iMovie for the first time - apparently there should be a sidebar containing tools like "Content Library". Not on mine - even in Window view, Content Library features like text etc are all greyed out - obviously it's me - help?

Sorry - I should have added that I have imported a Quicktime movie, originally created as an iPhoto slideshow.
I want to create rolling credits at the movie end and apparently you can only do this using iMovie - can you help please?

How to display the thumbnail view of the documents in Sharepoint Document Library

Is there a way that we can have the thumbnail view of the documents that are uploaded in SharePoint Document Library. We have thumbnail feature in Picture Library but can we have the same in Document Library too. Documents includes Words,Excel,PDF.
Any Suggestions Please

Hey Mike,
Good post, I'd be curious to see if anyone has used the GD Picture SDK with SharePoint, maybe there would be some sample code.
Hey Kukdai,
Developing your own solution would potentially provide a better way to accomplish your task, but before setting out on that long road you may want to try the simple customization, it's less time consuming and it will help gauge your customer's interest and
support.
Also, there is a wealth of open source code for SharePoint available on CodePlex, you might want to check that out as well. Here is the linK:
http://www.codeplex.com/
Also, here is an interesting project to consider for your task:

I hope that helps!

Windows Explorer Thumbnail View

Hi guys
I am making a photo gallery system software in the main window I want to show images in thumbnail view. however I see people that they use JButton to show each thumbnail I think that's unconventional so I am trying to create something like Windows Explorer thumbnail view but I don't know how do it. I have a class named thumbnail which will get an image and resize it to thumbnail and put a border around it but i don't know where to put that thumbnail. I think JTable is a good place since you can select the cells but then again i don't know how to add an image to a cell
thank you

Thankx actually I kinda got it working however there are two problems
1-how can i add images dynamiclly I mean I want start with zero row and and whenever someone imports an image to system I want to show the thumnanil of that in the table. meaning adding that image to next avaialbe cell
2-if i have 6 column and 10 rows that's 60 cells but imagine if i have added only 51 images added so that take 51 cells and 9 cells are empty which a row and half and the system has option to select all thumbnail (like explorer) but the problem is it will even select the cells that are empty since it is a table
if someone know how to do this or give me a hint i appreciate it
thanks

Thumbnail view/Icon association change in Windows 7 with CS4

I just put CS4 on a virgin Windows 7 build and I'm struggling with a couple of things...
1. How do I get Windows 7 to display the proper file association icons for image files? With XP it was easy to change an icon so that my JPG files uses the Photoshop JPG icon. But in 7 I have not been able to figure it out.
2. Thumbnail view with an image preview is not working. No matter what size I resize the icon in 7 I still get a big fat "PS" icon and not an image thumbnail. If there's a "switch" somewhere that I need to flip, I haven't been able to find it.
If anyone can shed some light on these issues, particularly #2, that would be great. I'm amazed at how much a hard case Windows 7 is with file associations and Photoshop CS4. I got BMP, JPG, PNG, and others to open with Photoshop but it did require a bit more effort. With the "default program" list, Photoshop isn't even mentioned and I had to hunt the executable down to tell Windows which application to use. What's amazing is Quicktime is listed as a "default program" but CS4 is not.

OK, sounds like you found the File Type Association.
As for the display, for some years, the old psicon.dll has been gone from Windows. For a few versions, one could just add it to Windows, but I do not believe that has worked since Vista. Instead, use Bridge, and not Windows Explorer.
As this has been an issue for years, it could well be that MS, or Adobe, will rewrite the psicon.dll to work with Win7, or that someone else will take up the challenge of doing so. Could already be out there, and I have just not heard of it.
Good luck,
hunt

PDF Thumbnail view in windows explorer

Hi guys, hope you can give me a hand! I`m about to lose my mind here.
I have 4 machines with adobe reader 8.1 installed and in those 4 machines I can see my pdf files as thumnails (they´re books, so I see the cover of each one of them). On my 5th computer not only have I adobe reader 8.1 installed but Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard. But when I select thumbnail view in windows explorer it just does not work.
I`ve tried changing the default program to open pdf files but again all I see it´s a thumbnail alright but it only displays the adobe logo not the first page of the pdf file.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Martin
