Missing thumbnails in organizer (v5)

Why do only some thumbnails display in the organizer? I need thumbnails shown of ALL image files in each folder.
For ex, I copied a bunch of images into a project folder for editing. Only 3 files out of maybe 80 show up as thumbnails in organizer. The original versions in other folders do have thumbnails. I have the folder set to automatically update.

Just a late thought-are there possible duplicate files? You said you copied some to a project folder. Elements does not like duplicates (even if in different folders).
Organzier uses tags and collections for subdividing/grouping photos, instead of folders. So if Folder 1 has 50 pictures and you need 10 for a special project, you can tag these with Project 1 and filter on only those. Or you could make a Project 1 collection, do your editing and stuff and then export these to a slide show or disk.
Could this be a reason you do not see the thumbnails?

Missing Thumbnails in Organizer Importing Function

I recently upgraded my my operating system from Windows XP to Vista. When I used the import function in Elements Organizer (with XP) I could preview the thumbnails and select the desired images on the camera or compact flash card. Now that I have moved to Vista the thumbnail preview or selection is no longer visible or accessable.
I have been through the software options, search engines and this forum but have seen nothing about this problem. I do sometimes have a perchance to miss the obvious and apologize if this is the case. Any help is appreciated.
OS Windows Vista 64 bit
Photoshop elements 9
8Gb RAM

Possibly due to display or dpi settings in the Windows control panel being below 96 dpi or 100% especially if you have a short screen e.g. laptop or notebook.
A work around is to import everything from the card into a folder on the hard drive. Then use File à Get Photos
It’s then possible to select and deselect from the Organizer import dialog.

Missing thumbnails in Organizer

I'm trying PS Elements 9. I've imported my pictures into the Organizer but some of the pictures don't have thumbnails. Instead they have a placeholder graphic with a flower on it and a blue triangle with an exclamation mark. I don't see any explanation of what this might mean. These pictures did not generate errors when they were imported. The pictures were scanned photos, just like the ones that imported correctly.
I've tried deleting the pictures from the catalog and reimporting. I've tried updating the thumbnail. The picture can be opened and edited in Elements but even if the edited photo is saved as a copy, it does not display a thumbnail.
Can someone explain this? And maybe tell me how to fix it?
Thanks.

Sometimes running the repair command can sort this out.
In Organizer click File >Catalog
Click on your current catalog to highlight it and then click the repair button. Often you get a message saying nothing found to repair but click repair anyway.

Organizer 10 missing thumbnails after upgrade

After upgrading from Elements 7 to 10, I'm missing 1400 thumbnails in Organizer 10 that are still present in Organizer 7. Is there some way to find the missing images and get them viewable in Organizer 10? Thank you.

Well, I figured how to fix the problem manually, fairly quickly. Clicked on Display, then folder location. In the My Pictures section, it was was easy to identify the 20-30 folders (out of about 100) whose images had not been imported into organizer. Right clicked each one, one at a a time, and clicked to import images. Voila. Took about 10 minutes, and all the images are now in Organizer 10. Thanks for the ideas to help me.

Organizer - how do I fix missing thumbnails?

After processing RAW files in PE9 and saving as JPEG's, there seems to be a random number of resulting files which fail to show as thumbnails in Organizer. Instead there's the grey flower/exclamation mark thumbnail. The file clearly exists - Properties shows every detail and I can open the image via Finder. Any ideas or suggestions on what's going on/wrong?

Hard to know what's going wrong, but select the images in the Organzier without the proper Thumbnail, right click on one of them and select Update Thumbnail for Selected Items

Missing Thumbnails in CS5 bridge

I just got Photoshop CS5 and for the first time decided to use Bridge that comes with Photoshop. My problem is that Bridge doesn't show thumbnails for all my files. Some folders of images have a few thumbnails missing, other folders have a lot of thumbnails missing. One of my folders have over half of the image thumbnails missing. An icon shows up instead. I can still double click these icons to open the image in Photoshop but I can't see the image in advance of opening it. I found a whole lot of info on the adobe web site concerning thumbnails in a lot of various products. But nothing seemed to match what I'm experiencing. In fact a lot that I read leaves me more confused. Anyone else having this problem and have an answer?

90% jpg
Some NEF and some TIFF. None of those have missing thumbnails, but then I don't have very many of each.
Just got an upgrade to Bridge this morning, version 4.0.5.11. After it installed I checked for a change in the thumbnail problem. No fix.
ACR is version 6.4.1.145

Thumbnails in Organizer are already corrected?

The thumbnails in the organizer seem to be corrected for color, brightness, etc. For example...three bracketed exposures of the same scene appear as identical thumbnails in the Organizer. I would like to see exactly what I shot. I cannot find a preference for this. Is there one?
If I open them in Camera Raw and select "Default" and then close Camera Raw, the Organizer now displays the file as it was shot.

Select the thumbnails in Organizer.
Click Edit >> Update Thumbnail for Selected Items.

You need to keep the keys pressed for several seconds. Close down Elements. Hold down the CtrlShiftAlt keys and simultaneously click on the Edit button on the welcome screen. Release the three keys and look behind the welcome screen by closing it. Or hold down the keys whilst clicking on the desktop icon for the Editor or PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe in the Programs folder. Keep holding down all three keys until you get the settings option. You should see a pop up box with the words: Delete Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File?Click on YesThen wait whilst Elements rebuilds the preferences. You should see something like this (example PSE9) http://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-4880527-258346/320-111/Setting s-pop-upPSE9.png

Missing Thumbnail Fix, at least for me

I had an extremely frustrating issue with missing thumbnails (dotted blank boxes) with iPhoto 6 that migrated to iPhoto 8 with no relief. I tried all the thumbnail and library rebuilding, and permission repair issues to no avail.
In my case, the original images were fine - if I double clicked on an image, it would open fine in iPhoto - right-clicking to reveal the original in the Finder worked fine too. But for about 100 photos, no thumbnails.
I finally discovered that if I edited the image in some minor way, the thumbnail would rebuild. The easiest was to rotate the image (selecting multiple worked as well), and then undoing the rotation. I don't know what caused the issue to begin with, but this action fixed the issue in a way the built-in rebuilding option could not do.
Hope this helps.

Tom:
To help prevent loss like you experienced see the tip at the end of my signature.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

My catalogues and tags are missing from my Organizer in Photoshop Elements 10? What is going on?

My catalogues and tags are missing from my Organizer in Elements 10. What is going on?

Thank you for the advice. I have a PC and the catalogs were for the most part where you said they would be, on the C drive under Program Data\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs. The last six months folder as well as a cruise I took in 2012 is missing but the rest seems to be there. Now I seem to have two Organizers-the one I just found and the one I created with my March 2013 trip pictures. How do I put them together and find them when I click on the Photoshop elements Organizer icon? You mentioned “pointing “ PSE to it in the default mode? How do I do that?

Missing Thumbnails

Missing thumbnails
In October I switched from OS 10.1.5 to OS 10.4.8.
My thumbnails have become only dotted outlines in iPhoto 6.0.5, except when enlarged.
Reading thru these topics, I realize it may be my fault.
I apparently committed a no-know by renaming the folder that appears after the folders MODIFIED and ORIGINALS with a different name. What I think I have done is rename the THUMBNAILS folder.
I have no idea what that original folder name was, so can somebody supply the name, and will that help? I would like to try this before going to the other methods for restoration.
Luckily, I saved all of OS 10.1.5 on my new external HD along with those files, so I can go to the old iPhoto 2.0 anytime. The Thumbnails work just fine in 2.0, maybe I should not bother with all this c--p!
G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

IT WORKED!
Thanks for the advice Terence. When I changed that Thumbnail folder name back to "Data" from what I had named it, all my Thumbnails came back. The reason I stupidly changed the name was that I was looking for the folder that holds the album folders, and wanted to identify that folder by using a different word. I still have lots of things to work out in going from iPhoto 2 to 6, and will post more questions as I go along.
Thank you,

My new tab page displays only an empty grid. Missing thumbnails -and- sites. I -think- my settings are correct. Please advise.

What are the settings for clearing history when Firefox closes?
Make sure that you do not clear the Browsing Cache as that will remove the thumbnails that are stored in it.

"any" help out there for missing thumbnails???

I looked for archives of this problem out on the internet and have had no luck with the solutions of finding files "thumb.5". I am missing thumbnails from over 6000 pictures. Each time I pick a block of pictures to "update thumnails" , it actually takes away the few thumnails that are there.
I installed 5.0 on Vista 3 months ago, and everything was fine. All of a sudden, all I see is the hourglass (which basically renders the program useless)
If no one has any fix, do you know who I can contact at Adobe or a customer support number ... they hide that stuff pretty well in their website.

Chuck,
I am running Windows XP rather than Vista so I hesitate to predict a folder structure under Vista. And I have always kept my catalog name the same at the time of the Restore.
I know that a friend verified for me that when he took a PSE 5 Backup done under Windows XP and then used that backup to do a Restore on a Vista machine running PSE 5.0.2, it restored correctly to the Pictures folder structure.
Running under XP and PSE 5,if I choose
b Folder Location view
(pull down box lower left below thumbnails) and then Right Click on the Name of one of the folders which contains photos in this catalog, the right click menu has a choice to
b Rename Folder
. (Note: in my case that specific folder had no subfolders).
I did that Rename Folder in PSE and then subsequently checked in Windows Explorer to find that the folder had actually been renamed. So that seems that it might be a possibility. However, I highly recommend that you do your own test using a folder containing less significant photos.
And I recommend that you 1)do a File > Catalog > Recover before you do this renamimg in order to cleanup and compact your catalog. 2) Then also before you rename, use Windows Explorer to just copy your Catalog file to save an extra copy somewhere. 3) After you are finished this renaming and verified that it is OK. do the File > Catalog > Recover again and then perhaps do a new PSE Backup (or however you normally backup).
