My thumbnails don't display

I had to restore my hard disk via Time Machine, and my iPhoto software doesn't work right.  When I open it, the thumbnails don't display.  If you double-click on a blank tile, the photo shows up.  How do I get my thumbnails re-connected.  I have already done a permissions fix and re-installed iLife '11.

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. Include the options to rebuild the thumbnails. You may need to repeat this three or four times in my experience.

  • Previews don't display

    Aperture 3.2.2, MacBook Pro, 8 Gb ram. I keep my CR2 (Canon 60D) RAW photos in Aperture on an external usb 2 drive so my wife can view them from her "user" side of our computer. We are both "admin" users. I know the library can't be shared, so I turn Aperture off on my side before she logs into her user side to see the pics, and vice versa. Yesterday I uploaded some pics to Aperture from my user side and they all appeared as expected in the library. All thumbnails, and full size pics show up fine. When I turn Aperture off on my side, and login to my wife's user side to view the pics the thumbnails don't display in the browser. The pictures are represented by empty placeholders. If I double click on an empty (thumbnail) placeholder, the picture opens and can be seen and edited as usual. Upon closing the image, the thumbnails still don't show.
    When I upload images from my wife's user side, everything shows up fine on her side, as expected, thumbnails and all. But when I switch to my side, the thumbnails don't display, but double clicking on the empty thumbnail placeholder opens the image for viewing or editing. The problem files are all from a single day/event. Pictures shot on later date, but on the same SD card upload and display correctly on both user's sides.
    I have over 5,000 pictures in Aperture, and this is the first time this has happened, all the other pics show up fine as thumbnails on both user's sides.
    Any ideas about this?

    >Sorry, but that is plain BS
    Let's try to be a bit less flamey, shall we?
    >For starters, in order to use the laptop's keyboard, the external monitor has to be way too high, or the laptop/keyboard way too low, since the darned laptop screen gets in the way.
    True, but when using an external monitor (in the office) I also have my external keyboard and mouse. The laptop is on the left and behind, sitting on a riser so the bottoms of both screens are at the same level. External display is on the right. Both angled slightly inward towards me. The laptop overhangs the front of the riser (and the external keyboard) so the display is not too far away.
    >Secondly, your scheme underscores the futility of using a laptop and takes away any portability advantage you may have had.
    I don't see that. The screen IS profiled, just not as well as the external screen. It's plenty adequate for sorting/filtering shoots and preliminary editing, with more serious color correction, output sharpening, et. handled when back at the office.
    >Third, you won't be generating much income doing photography or Photoshop work on a lousy laptop screen "in the islands", or at least not for long. You may have earned your vacation, but the laptop sure isn't going to "pay for it". You may permanently lose some clients instead.
    I'll have to tell my clients that one. I'm sure they'll find it worth a chuckle. True the last trip was mostly spent coding and working in Flash, and the more critical Photoshop work I did needed a modest tweak once I got back to the good monitor, but it was pretty close and easy to fix. Technically I suppose working on a trip doesn't mean the trip is paying for itself, but rather than bleeding twice (traveling AND not working for a week) I'm only bleeding once. And I happen to enjoy work, so it's not a vacation killer.
    > I stand by my fundamental aversion to laptops.
    And I by my attraction to them.

  • Thumbnails for MXFs don't display

    I'm using PPRO CS 6.0.1 and I have MXF files (produced from Sony F3 camera) and when I turn on Thumbnails they don't display. Quicktime MP4 files and RED R3D files show thumbnails just fine.
    Thanks for any help.

    Merci!
    Yes, that does sound like it was the source of my problem. I had assumed having an image on top of the placeholder would increase page loading times. I'll change my routine now. Thank you so much and my apologies for not looking around further before posting the question!

  • I'm running windows 8 with PSE11 some of my pic don't display only a gray box with a paper in side,

    I'm running windows 8 with PSE 11 ans some of my pic don't display only a gray box with a paper in side it, when i go to a albums most of my pic don't display

      Try selecting the thumbnails (Shift+Click) or (Ctrl+A) to select all, then click on the top menu
    Edit à Update Thumbnail For Selected Items
    If that doesn’t work close Elements and delete the thumbnail cache by navigating to:
    C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Elements Organizer\Catalogs\MyCatalog
    In side the MyCatalog folder (or whatever name you gave your catalog) you should find a CACHE file:
    thumb.5.cache
    After deleting that file restart the elements Organizer and wait whilst it regenerates thumbnails.
    N.B. The ProgramData folder is sometimes a system hidden file, in which case please follow these instructions before starting.

  • PSD File Icons don't display in Windows 8.1?

    PSD File Icons don't display in Windows 8.1. How to fix?

    You would have to buy a third party codec for thumbnail displays that Windows doesn't support.
    Ardfry Imaging, LLC
    So why should you have to pay?
    I have many years ago tried to get Microsoft to implement thumbnail support to no avail.
    So in the end, Ardfrey's codec takes care of it for $20, free upgrades and I can get on with any work that requires thumbnails at the OS level.

  • Raw thumbnails don't show up in Photoshop they do in bridge

    Raw thumbnails don't show up in Photoshop they do in bridge

    Since I have to go, I suspect that it is not Photoshop, but Windows 7, whose dialog boxes Photoshop uses.
    You can set up Windows to display raw thumbnails using the Microsoft Codec Pack which you get here:
    How do I view RAW pictures in Windows 7? - Microsoft Windows Help
    Then Photoshop should be able to display them as thumbnails.

  • Events added in iCal don't display in Google Calender

    I'm using my google address for iCal as I don't have a MobileMe account.
    Events added in Google Calender display in iCal, but events added to this account in iCal don't display in Google Calender. I have tried subscribing to my Google Calender in iCal, but the address isn't recognized by iCal.
    I have even tried deleting and re-adding my Google Calender, but still no joy.
    Are the calenders I am using in iCal and Google the same calender, or are they actually different calenders with the same username? Someone help me sync the **** calenders!

    I DO NOT want to move my iCal events to my google calendar.  I have way too many.  So, why won't my iCal events show up on my google calendar??  My google events show up on my iCal. It's a SYNC. They should be the same.
    I'm sorry my answer to Clint is not what you want.
    iCal and Google on their own do not do what you want.
    There are/were some third party add-ins that worked in the way you describe that were mainly developed before Google Calendar had CalDAV integration.

    Firefox display problems regarding this customers site:

    Thumbnails are not displayed correctly in Firefox - only a tiny bit of the picture is visible, incorrect scale (displayed correctly in Safari and Google Chrome).
    Can I do anything to make it work in Firefox, too?

  • Math fonts don't display in mail messages?

    For some reason when I receive a mail message with math - fractions, equations, etc. these characters don't display.  My husband has an iPhone 4 and this isn't a problem on his phone.  I am wondering how I can get these characters to display?
    Thanks

    Hi markatos
    Hi Rick Van Vliet
    I have the same problem, and I can also (only) underline text.
    Since upgrading to Tiger (10.4.8) from Panther 10.3.9, I have experienced a few daft functional problems, eg the 'Enter' key not working on the calculator (the standard one, not the Dashboard version). This turned out to be a '.plist' problem.
    Mail was marking all outgoing mail as 'Junk' ... '.plist' problem again.
    But I cannot see how to sort this one ... at the moment I am having to format text on a Stickie then paste it into a Mail message in order to do simple things like bold headings (I don't need any more than this really). So the 'Font' palette is working. Message format is set to 'Rich Text'.
    Any ideas anyone?
    Help will be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Word docs don't display fonts since upgrade to 10.6.

    Word docs don't display fonts since upgrade to 10.6.  Got this error message in Console:
    6/14/11 9:38:14 AM          [0x0-0x11011].com.microsoft.Word[140]          Tue Jun 14 09:38:14 Michael-2.local FontCacheTool[144] <Error>: ATSFontGetPostScriptName failed: error -984.

    Thanks but I searched and searched there.  Nothing listed that addresses this issue.  Am I the only person to upgrade to 10.6 and have a problem with seeing type in Word afterwards?  Does anyone understand what the error message means?

  • In Firefox 15.0.1, jpegs don't display in body of email, even in older saved emails that were originally o.k. Photos display fine in Explorer.

    jpeg photos sent to me in emails don't display -- just get a torn page type box. Prior emails saved in folders are also affected. If I forward the email to an email account in Explorer they work fine.

    Thanks, but I had already tried these Firefox suggestions. I don't think it is a Firefox problem after all, since even when I load my Yahoo email account in Explorer the images don't display. Interestingly enough, when I forward them to my husband's Yahoo account, or my Google account, the jpegs display fine. This appears to be a somewhat new problem, and only in MY Yahoo email account. I have not knowingly made any changes to it in the last few weeks. I've tried to find suggestions in Yahoo's site and in my service provider's site (AT&T). No luck.

  • Images' files don't display in order?

    Hi,
    I uploaded images from my Canon and the thumbnails don't organize in order but mixing up the older and newer images.  I kind of expect they should be in numerical order.  How to fix this?  Thanks.

    Aperture packs a tremendous amount of potential energy in a small rectangular window.
    The first place to look for things you can't find is the User Manual.  It is well done (and credit to Apple for making it so).

  • Added photos to the video timeline but they don't display.

    I have added some photos to the video timeline but they don't display. The end of the last clip is frozen and then the next clip starts once the time for the photo display has elapsed.
    A previous photo that I'd inserted in the project previously DOES run correctly. I suspect it may be to do with the fact that I've used cutaways in part of the video. However, where I'm inserting the photos is not in a section where there is an existing cutaway.

    It would appear that it's a bug with iMovie. It won't let me add new photos to the duplicated project, but it WILL let me add them to the original project.
    After searching the Discussion forums, it would appear that it has affected other users; some have used 'workarounds', but the solution doesn't always work for all. Hope Apple can address it.

  • Aperture 3: Photos don't display in browser or Viewer

    Some of my photos don't display in the browser or Viewer panels. It's displayed as greyed out. I am running Aperture 3.2.2. I have tired to rebuild permissions and the database without luck. Updating the preview doesn't work either. For some of the photos, if I double click, the photo appears in the Viewer panel but when I double click it goes back to the greyed out view.
