My pictures won't show up in my messages I just get a grey box that tells me it's a JPEG

WHen I go to my messages I can't see photis. I only get a grey box that says which picture it is and that its a JPEG. Is there away to get them back?  I have a 5s and iOS 8.2.

Check online with the web site of the maker of your video card for an updated driver (assuming you're running Windows).

  • Pictures won't show on Messages

    Hello, so this just started happening today. I haven't done any changes on my iphones, just today I woke up with this issue.
    When I go to my messages, I can't see any of the pictures people have send me before today. I just get a JPEG square and that's it.
    I have an iPhone 5S, iOS 8.1.2
    I did a hard reset, and nothing. I read in here to do a network setting reset, and that didn't help.
    Any suggestion on what might have happen? All the new pictures I received today are showing, but before today I can't see
    Here's a picture of what I'm talking about. None of the pictures are loading...

    Hi,
    The spyglass would reveal the item  as a file in the Downloads folder which can then be opened with Preview.
    Alternatively you can use the Window Menu > File Transfers as this should list them.
    Again Preview should open them.
    I have the same issue and have not worked out what is different in any of the settings.

    iTunes never displays the iPod in the left pane?
    iTunes is shipped with a "helper application" called the "iPod Service" that runs and is used by iTunes to communicate with the iPod device. This service may be disabled.
    If your system is Microsoft Windows XP and you are logged in as an Administrator:
    1. Quit iTunes and, if your iPod is currently connected to your computer, safely remove it using the system tray application to manage removable devices.
    2. Right click on "My Computer"
    3. Select "Manage"
    4. In the "Computer Management" window, left pane (tree view), follow this path:
    +Computer Management (local) > Services and Applications > Services+.
    5. In the right pane, scroll down to "iPod Service" and double click it.
    6. If the service is listed as "Disabled" and "Stopped," change to "Manual" and "Start" it. ("Manual" will cause it to start when iTunes starts and "Start" starts the service right now.)
    7. Close "Computer Management"
    8. Restart iTunes and wait for it to completely come up.
    9. Reconnect your iPod.
    Does your iPod show up in iTunes?

    Turn off your iPad and put it in recovery mode. Try to restore it via iTunes.

  • When working in iPhoto I kept getting a dialog box that asked if I wanted to delete the photo.  I checked the little box that said do not show this again.  Well, I want to get this warning box back but I don't know where to find it.

    Hi I was organizing pictures in iphoto.  I am new at this.  I was deleting a bunch of duplicate pictures and I kept getting a 'warning box" that kept asking "are you sure you want to delete?"  I knew I wanted to delete all these pics so I checked the box that said "check box if you dont want to see this warning."  So checked the box.  Now I want to get that warning box back.  Any ideas?  I can't find anything on the internet or manuals.  thanks

    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
    (On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
    (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

    On the iOS array of devices, you need to make sure all of the settings are right. I have found an official Verizon webpage for setting it up on Apple devices right here:

  • I can see the pictures in iPhoto but when I try to open a picture I get a grey box with a big !

    I can see the pictures in iPhoto but suddenly this morning when I try to open a picture I get a grey box with a big "!" Please help!

    You really should run check for updates. It's up to 9.1.3 now.
    Option 1
    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. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 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. .
    Regards
    TD

  • HELP!! My picture won't show up on photostream

    I took a picture with my iphone 5s. The picture shows up in the bottom left corner when I'm on camera view, but when I click on it, the picture doesn't show up. It takes me to the picture I took before the most recent one. I tried going to my photos app, but it doesn't show up there either. I know the picture took because I can see it in my camera view, but I can't seem to find it anywhere and it's really frustrating. Any picture I take now shows up in my photostream, except for that one picture that I want. I tried turning my phone on and off, and I tried connecting it to my computer and syncing the pictures. I've also tried using dropbox but that didn't work either. Someone PLEASE help me, I'm desperate. I've tried just about everything I can think of.

    I know you say you have tried everything, but sometimes people miss steps, so do all of this (Even if you have done it do it again)
    Try the 5R's (You might not be able to do "Restore" thats OK) http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
    THen connect the ipod and see if it list in iTUens OR in windows under "My Computer" as IPOD or Removable storage.

  • My pictures won't show up on my Hard Drive when I try to view them from my MacBook Pro

    I just came back from a trip and have been trying to get my pictures off my iPhone and other camera to put on my external hard drive (it's about 17 GB, so I don't want to waste the space by keeping them on my MacBook). I transferred all the pictures from my phone to iphoto and then to my Hard Drive, and they showed up fine. I had to use the family PC though to get the pictures off of my camera and then transfer them to the same folder on my Hard Drive.
    After having consolidated everything, I plugged my hard drive back into my MacBook to view my pictures, but although the folder was there, it appeared empty. I was really worried I had lost all my pictures, but that wasn't the case. When I plugged the hard drive back into the PC they were all there.
    I tried taking the folder off the Hard Drive and putting it on my desktop. This worked- all the pictures were back. I didn't want to leave it there though, because they take up so much space, so I deleted the old folder on the Hard Drive and put that folder back. That seemed to work- I was able to see all the pictures again. However, when I plugged the Hard Drive back into my MacBook this morning, the pictures were gone again in the same way *** before.
    I am really baffled as to what's going on here. I was hoping someone could tell me how I can keep the pictures on my Hard Drive and be able to view them there.

    This is true of course, but doesn't cover the situation where some files are in the iTunes Media folder and others are on an external drive. In my case I keep my music in the Media folder and all my films on an external drive (there are too many to have on the internal drive). In iTunes 11, and before, it was easy to add those external files by holding down the alt/opt key while dragging to the sidebar. In iTunes 12 this is no longer possible. There are several workarounds: use TuneSpan to move the file after it's been added; delete the file from the Media folder and empty the trash then use iTunes Get Info which will report the file is missing and allow you to locate it; constantly switch the Add to iTunes toggle on and off as required. All of these require a lot more work than just holding down the alt/opt key while adding.
    It constantly gets harder.

  • Picture won't show up in my Photo Album; big white blank rectangle space

    There is a picture of Sammy Lee, the Olympic Gold Medalist diver, that refuses to show up in one of my Photo Albums on Safari.
    I have done everything that everyone has taught me. I have cleared the cache many times. I have clicked onto a site ourside my own site (actually Allyson's site about the tips for iWeb). I have published all to .Mac. The photo still shows up as a white rectangular space.
    It is not like other times when a photo doesn't show up, because in those cases, there is a question mark in a blue box. With this case, there is no question mark inside a blue box. There is only a white space where the picture would be/was.
    I even went back to iPhoto and put in another copy of that picture, all to no avail.
    QUESTION:
    What else can I do to make the picture show up on my Photo Album page?

    I think it could be the comma causing the problem, actually. Here is a line from the slideshow.html file
    new SlideImage('http://web.mac.com/lorna6/iWeb/Lorna%20x%203/395844EC-4CEE-4545-8AD 3-7E66F83391ECfiles/W%3ASammy%20Lee,%20swimmer2.jpg', 321, 450, 'With Sammy Lee, Olympic champion diver & Gold Medalist. He went on to coach Greg Louganis. At L.A.U.S.D., Office of Bilingual Instruction (It no longer goes by that name.) Mid-80’s'),
    The colon has transferred ok, but there are a lot of commas used in the code to call up the photos in the slideshow and the comma in the file name (and, possibly, the caption) could be causing some problems.
    I don't know enough about this to know for sure (need to consult a higher source...), but it sure couldn't hurt removing it to see if it helps.

  • HELP! Just got iPhoto 6 w/ my Tiger upgrade, and pictures won't show up

    Last week, my 1 1/2 year old Powerbook G4 was having issues that eventually led to me having to replace the hard drive. The new hard drive came with the Tiger OS (was previously on Panther) and the new iLife suite, including iPhoto 6. All of my photos, music, and documents were able to be transferred to the new hard drive.
    When I go to open up iPhoto, all of the thumbnails show up and my albums are intact, as well. However, when I double click to open one of the pictures, I get a blank screen with a spinning progress indicator that never goes away. I can open the photos with the "Preview" app, but I want my iPhoto to work!
    Any suggestions...?

    Jackie:
    That will happen if, for some reason, you have "no access" in the permissions. Run the following on your iPhoto Library folder:
    Setting Permissions for iPhoto Library Folder
    Select the iPhoto Library folder and type Command-I.
    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.
    Then click on the "Apply to enclosed items..." button.
    See if that will help the situation.

  • My pictures won't show up in my iPhoto after I upload them.

    I upload my photos and after I close the iPoto to shut off my computer the next time I log in my pictures are blank. I cant see them unless I double click to make them bigger. My iPoto shows about 12 blank folders that should be holding the pictures I uploaded. How do I get these pictures to show up?

    Backup your iPhoto library, depress and hold the option and command keys, launch iPhoto and from the resulting menu rebuild thumbnails. If this does not resolve rebuild the library
