Media browser does not show previews of raw photos

Hello,
I use Aperture 3.4.3 and I have the following problem. If I import photos in jpg format they are immediately available in the media browser and can therefore be selected as a desktop photo via the Desktop & Screen Saver preference pane. If I import photo's in raw format, they do not appear in the media browser until I have forced Aperture to rebuild the previews. If I edit the photos without forcing Aperture to rebuild the previews they are not available in the media browser.
Any suggestions are welcome

1. Aperture does not generate any previews when importing jpg's, raw photo's or merging libraries even though I have selected New projects automatically generate previews and always share previews with iLife and iWork (I am importing photos into an existing project but I would expect photo previews to be updated automatically in these cases as well). My statement above that Aperture shared jpg's automatically is therefore incorrect.
This looks like your preference settings cannot be stored by Aperture. You write, that you already tried to remove the preferences. You did look in the  "Preferences" folder in your hidden User Library in your Home folder  ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist and not in the System Library on your MacintoshHD  /Library/Preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist, right?
Also, when removing preferences in Lion an Mt. Lion, it is best to log off and on again after quitting Aperture. Otherwise the removal may not take, because you cannot rely on a "Quit" to remove the process from the caches. Aperture simply may launch again restored from the cache, without noticing that the preferences have ben removed.
3. If I edit the photo in Aperture after I have generated a preview (say crop it), the preview does not get updated.
That is consistent with the above.
4.You can only resolve this by forcing Aperture to generate a new preview, shutting down Aperture and then launching the preference pane.
Ths may also be related to broken Aperture preferences. The Media browser needs the preferences file to find the current Aperture library.
I like to suggest two basic tests:
Generation of previews may also fail, if your Aperture library is corrupted. Then You should have no problems with the generation of previews, when you import into a new library. Create a small new testlibrary and import a few images. Are previews generated? I not, then the problem is not dependent on your current library. If yes, you need to trouble shoot your library. Post back.
Do you have the same problem, when working from a different user account with a diffrent Aperture library? Then preferences are not a problem - you have a system wide problem and probably need to reinstall. Post back.

  • Media browser does not show photos

    The media browser in iDvd & iWeb does not show the photos in my iPhoto library. It does show the tunes in my iTune library but not the photos in my iPhoto library. When I click photos in the browser, the browser says, "Open iPhoto2 or later or Aperature1.5 or later from your iPhoto or Aperature library in this list."
    I have iPhoto6.0.6. When I made a DVD two months ago everything worked okay. I suspect that I am missing something very obvious, but to date it escapes me. Does anyone have some experience with this problem? Please help.

    One thing that you can try is the often used maintenance of deleting preferences and doing a permissions repair. To delete preferences, close iMovie and iPhoto and trash the files named com.apple.iMovie.plist and com.apple.iPhoto.plist found in User (the house icon)/Library/Preferences. Then restart your computer and do a permissions repair using the Disk Utility app found in HD/Applications/Utilities. In the left hand pane of the Disk Utility window select your hard drive icon and then click on repair permissions. Takes about 3 minutes to repair. Then relaunch iMovie and iPhoto and see if you still have the problem. Those applications will recreate the .plist files that you deleted.
    However, this might be an iPhoto issue, and I would suggest that you post your question in the iPhoto forum as well.
    Have you updated iPhoto recently? Have you made any manual changes to your iPhoto library? Do you use keywords? Is your iPhoto library stored on an external drive where possibly iMovie can't locate it?
    It could be that you just need to rebuild your iPhoto library. You can do that by holding down the Option and Apple keys while launching iPhoto. Then chose the first 3 selections in the drop down menu. But be sure first to back up your iPhoto library to guard against power outages or other probs during the rebuild process. As I say, check with the iPhoto forum if deleting preferences and repairing permissions does not work.

  • Media Browser does not load iTunes Library

    I was on GarageBand today and was trying to drag a song from my iTunes (via Media Browser) and nothing showed under my iTunes (playlists, songs, etc.) and I have over 4000 items on iTunes.
    I also was trying to upload an attachment on GMail and media browser did not show my iTunes library there either. My screensaver is my album artwork and now it says that I do not have any album artwork. WHAT'S GOING ON?!
    Thought all these problems were connected to each other so I thought I would put it all on one thread.

    iWeb media browser does not load photos. iTunes and Movies panels do work however.
    I do have multiple iPhoto libraries, maybe that has something to do with it?

  • Elements 9 does not accept or process RAW photo images taken with a Nikon D7000.

    Adobe elements 9 does not accept or process RAW photo images taken with a Nikon D7000. I called support for a download patch and they said I had to purchase a support package or essentially purchase Elements 10. I can't believe that Adobe would not have a download patch for this problem as my elements 9 is not very old. When I try to do the updates Adobe says the serial number of the elements 9 is not accepted for download or support even though I purchased it and registered it with Adobe.
    Is there any solution to this?
    Thanks.

    Thank you but still having a problem. I go to the edit menu>>help>>update>>check for updates and an update to 9.03 comes up as the only update, no camera raw update. It starts to download and then stops and says to close organizer and/or editor then starts back up and stops again saying "error installing this update. Close and contact customer support". When I called customer support earlier that's when they said they don't support 9 only v. 10 and did I want to buy support or a new program v10 to get camera raw processing for the Nikon D7000 RAW. Apparently I'm doing something wrong in the update procedure but don't know what. The camera raw version is 6.5 in my elements and understand that camera raw v. 6.7 is the update to process the images. Any ideas? If I uninstall and reinstall does the serial number still work on the reinstall?
    Thanks for help.

  • Bridge does not show my Camera Raw Adjustments in previews or thumbnails.

    Bridge CS6 on my Mac is not showing my Camera Raw adjustments in a preview pane or thumbnail.
    Here's how it worked until recently:
    I open a .CR2
    I make some adjustments
    I click "Done"
    The thumbnail and the preview show the adjustments I made
    Now, it works like this:
    Open a .CR2
    Make adjustments
    Click "Done"
    The preview and thumbnail don't show all the adjustments. I can't see the results of noise removal, but I can see a drastic change in Exposure
    If I double-click the CR2 file, it opens in Camera Raw, and I see all my adjustments, including noise removal.
    Here's what I've tried, but saw  no difference (I restarted Bridge every time):
    Purge Cache
    Purge Cache for Selection
    Replaced Camera Raw plug-in as described here: Camera Raw 8.4 | No metadata or Camera Raw edit
         (Doing so made Camera Raw disappear in Bridge, so I restored the original file)
    Reset Preferences
    Reset Standard Workspaces
    All the above fixes were inspired by this thread: Re: Bridge CS6 not showing Camera Raw adjustments
    Why don't I see the noise removal effect in the previews? I am sure I saw it a few weeks ago. I rely on that, to help me sort and cull photos.
    I'm hoping there's a preference toggle that I accidentally changed. It's definitely a puzzle. (Version: Bridge CS6 5.0.1.21 5.0.2.4)
    Message was edited by: moonatwork after updating Bridge version. I tried all the above fixes again, after updating Bridge. It actually got worse. I tried replacing the Camera Raw plugin, which failed as before. I then restored the previous plugin, as before, but Bridge now fails to honor the preference, "Double-Click Edits Camera Raw Settings in Bridge" and instead always opens Photoshop.

    Thanks, Omke. I tried updating, then applying all the same fixes to the updated version. No change.
    I can attach a screenshot, but I must block out names and faces. All you'll see is my Bridge interface, not the faces in the portraits. Hope that helps.

  • Muse 7.0 plus Chrome: browser does not show images full browser width

    Hi there,
    I have a serious problem with the latest Muse version: the images which I use as parallax-masks for the background won't work with Chrome, though Safari and Firefox are not showing any problems. The issue: Chrome does either not scale the images to 100% browser-width or does not show them at all, or even shows the images cut into narrow stripes. This problem did not show in the previous version of Muse.
    Of course I already restarted application and computer. System: Mac OSX Mavericks.
    What to do now? The presentation with the client is very soon and this bug makes me very nervous.
    Best,
    bartl

    The problem bartl encountered and reported was fixed by the 7.1 release (November 21st). The problem you're describing sounds different.
    As of yet, I'm unable to reproduce what you're describing. The URL you've provided views the same in all the browsers I've tried, Chrome (32.0.1700.77) and non-Chrome, Mac and Windows.
    That said, looking at your master page I don't think you've created what you intended. At present there are two full screen slideshows on your A-master. On contains no images and the other contains a single image. Both are set to have thumbnails and the thumbnails container is off the right side of the page.
    If you look at your "Master Slideshow" layer in the Layers panel, you'll see the two slideshows. I think you'll want to delete one of them and, given your design, turn off thumbnails for the remaining one.
    Also, if you don't plan to have multiple images in the full screen slideshow, you'd be better off using a background fill image rather than the slideshow widget.
    I remain a bit puzzled how/why you're seeing different behavior in your instance of Chrome. Have you cleared your browser cache?
    On an unrelated note, if you set the page fill and stroke to none and set the browser fill to the most common color from the garage door image, it will avoid the momentary appearance of a white page on a grey background when your home page first loads. Instead the site visitor would see a blank page that's the most common color from the slideshow image, until that image loads.

  • Psd file does not show preview in Creative Cloud Assets Activity Tab

    I've tried to share a psd file however the preview will not show up in creative cloud assets under the activity tab. It only shows a blank page icon. Although, you can view the file in the extract tab. However, this is a problem because I need to be able to share the file with the client to be able to view and comment on it, and be able to switch between past and current versions. Right now they are not able to do that.  I am using Libraries as well and have smart objects placed from my Library.

    Please try the workaround posted here:

  • Photo browser does not show all aperture projects (missing 12)

    Has anyone experienced this issue? My photobrowser (mail) only gives me a partial list of what I have in aperture. Discussed this with apple support a month ago and he couldn't figure it out so suggested that I rebuild, which I did, and the problem went away, but now it's back. Any ideas, anyone? Thanks a bunch.

    Hi Tony,
    Many thanks for your comments.
    Yes, I did try all possible ways of connecting my drive to the iMac and even to my laptop (Firewire & USB).
    I also did the consistency check.
    I am not sure about the set-up of "Ignore ownership on this volume"? Never heard about this and will try to find out how to check that.
    The most extraordinary thing is that ALL my photos are visible in the "All Photos" blue folder, though they do not have the respective Project folder in the library window...?
    Since each project are existing in my Aperture file library when I open the "Show Package Contents", I am lost at what to do next to recuperate those projects in their previous state in my Aperture profile.
    My next move, I think is to try again to restore the vault onto another drive since you mention that size should not be an issue.
    By the way, can you tell me if a properly restored vault should recreate all project folders and its subsequent albums + smart albums in the Projects window?
    Many thanks for your support.
    Cheers
    Frederic
