NEF thumbnails showing as bright pink why?

My NEF thumbnails have just started showing as bright pink in Bridge. They are ok when I open them in ACR. I am using cs6 and Mac 10.5.6

That is indeed weird, no experience with Nikon (use Canon ) but it is not the first time problems about interaction between both brands are reported.
However if it worked before there might have been some setting in NX2 changed if your Bridge settings did not change. But using Bridge Photodownloader from card reader is a workflow I am using for a long time without problems other then not importing High speed series not imported in the correct order as they where shot (using sort by create date in Bridge usually corrects this)

Why do my raw images (fr Nikon d800e) show up bright for 1 second and then darken in Aperture?

I'm new to this site so I apologize for the long question. When I import raw files from my Nikon D800e into Aperture (3.2.3), they show up bright for one second and then darken slightly. Is this normal? It didn't happen with raw files from my Nikon D300. I have to adjust the brightness and exposure to make them bright again. thanks, Mike

One of the changes in Aperture 3 as it has evolved, is to first use the Preview generated by the camera. It waits to generate its own Preview until you actually click to display that one image. Until then the thumbnails are based upon the camera provided JPEG Preview.
In earlier versions, you never saw that, but only the initial Preview generated in Aperture. It is not because of the different camera.
Btw, if you are using 10.8.2, why have you not updated to Aperture 3.4.3?

Bridge CS3 Stopped showing NEF thumbnails

I use a Nikon, formerly a D70, now a D90. I always shoot in raw and JPEG. I have had Bridge CS3 on my iMac for about a year and a half with no problem. About a week ago it stopped displaying NEF thumbnails. I just see the NEF icon. I can open the NEF images, and JPEG images show as thumbnails. To my knowledge I have not changed anything, although my son sometimes changes some settings. I have my computer set to automatically download updates. Reviewing the threads in this forum I see some similar problems, but not this one. Anybody have an idea?

I have ACR 4.6.030. I do not see a 4.7 on the ACR updates. The next appears to be 5.1, which is for CS4, no CS3. I appreciate your input. If you have any other ideas I would be interested. I still have not been able to get it to work. Very odd, since I had always been able to see NEF thumbnails, taken both by the D70 and D90.

Why don't iPhoto Thumbnails show

Having recently upgraded iPhoto to v6.0.4, I wanted to view the pictures previously stored under earlier versions of iPhoto. iPhoto opens properly, but most thumbnails do not show at all. Before the upgrade, the thumbnails showed correctly.
What can I do to cause thumbnails to show?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

17" ACD gone bright pink

This issue could be with the Apple ADC to DVI convertor box or cable, but I can't confirm if it is that or my monitor. I am using a 17" clear ACD with a mac mini, and I started to get intermittant bright pink screens, which has progressed into pink all the time, and a horizontally squashed screen that shows the desktop twice (one on top of the other, both squashed).
I am pretty sure that the cable coming out of the convertor box is the culprit, since I was able to get it working normally by jiggling the cable, and it started acting up when I was plugging and unplugging some USB devices. Now it won't work properly at all, and I do not have an old computer to plug the monitor in directly to check with. I did plug the monitor and convertor into a G5 PowerMac, and had the same result. When I plugged in a newer 20" Apple aluminum display into the Mini, it worked fine.
The trouble is that all of the cables on the monitor and convertors are built in and not easily replaced.
Any suggestions?

Yep, I had to buy a new convertor box to fix the issue.
Please, Apple, make your products with removable cables!

Does anyone elses iphoto thumbnails show the wrong photos in album ?

This is a relatively new problem i am having.... when i open an album and the zoom is over c.20% or you change the zoom the thumbnails show the wrong photo. when you open to edit, the correct photo opens. This is veeeerrrry annoying. can anyone shed any light on this ?

Hi slipstream1,
I don't know why that started happening for you.
Try this:
Close iPhoto
Navigate to where you have the iPhoto Library on your hard drive
Drag the three thumbnail files found loose in the root of the Library folder to the desktop
Hold down the Command and Option keys while launching iPhoto until you get the rebuild window
Choose the options to rebuild the thumbnails
Hopefully this will fix it for you.

Nikon NEF thumbnails and Lightroom

I am trying out Adobe Lightroom and the Nikon NEF files from my D70s are imported directly into Lightroom just as I had hoped they would be. However, I am flying blind when it comes to seeing the thumbnail previews of those same files "before" I do the actual importing.
Only the "NEF icon" shows up in the directory where the files are located, so I really don't have the ability to choose which file I wish to import into Lightroom unless I look at them in Adobe bridge first. This is a little inconvenient to have to do that.
Also If I do have a file in "CS2 raw", I don't have an option to send it directly to Lightroom... only to CS2 itself.
If anyone can help with some advice here, I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
Ron

Icons instead of thumbnails showing in Bridge

Hi,
Why is it that in some of my directories icons for InDesign files show instead of the thumbnails of the job itself? If I open the files in InDesign and then re-save them, the thumbnails show up. And, in one directory in particular, I've got a lot of IDML files, because, I had to save ID files as that for a colleague who's got an earlier version of ID. Most all of them show up as icons, not thumbnails.
Thanks,
Peter

In FileType Associations in Preferences, it lists InDesign with a series of extensions, followed by an ellipsis to indicate some others. But, I don't see IDML in there. You can't seem to be able to add to it. And, this problems shows up with some InDesign files as well, not just IDML files.
Thanks,
Peter

NEF Thumbnails not displaying in Bridge CS3

I decided to dip my toe into RAW images. However unlike jpegs and tiffs the NEF thumbnails are not rendering in Bridge CS3. However when I double-click on an unrendered thumbnail it does open normally. As seeing thumbnails would be very helpful I decided to do a software update to see if this would cure the problem. During the install process I got the following message - Installation Incomplete - The Updater is unable to locate the product to be updated - Adobe Camera Raw 4.6 Update failed to install.
Outcome - NEF thumbnails still not rendering. By the way my NEF images were produced on a Nikon D60.
Help would be appreciated. Thanks in anticipation. Victor Patterson, Ireland

NEF thumbnails will not appear in CS3 Bridge

My XP machine crashed and I was forced to get a Vista machine. Vista 64 bit 7gb RAM and 640GB HD.
I downloaded the latest ACR 4.6 and that allowed me to see and edit NEF files in PS but in CS3 Bridge I cannot see the thumbnails only the NEF icon. I can double click and the NEF file will open in PS and I can edit as usual. I have tried clearing the cache' in the "tools" and it will give me a flash of some of the NEF thumbnails but that is all just a split second flash. I can see the metadata information just no thumbnail preview. JPEG's are fine.
HELP!!!

Hi:
I was having the same problem with vista 64 bit, PS CS3, bridge v. 4.6, creating thumbnails for Canon 50D. Your suggestions above to purge not only the camera raw preferences cache but also the regular preferences cache did the trick! Even though I have 3GB set for cache, it must have filled up. The thumbnails created instantly.
I had already checked for multiples of the plug-in but that wasn't it. ONly after I purged the general program cache did the thumbnails appear.
I knew it had to be something arcane like that as I also have CS3 installed in Win XP 32 bit, with the 4.6 ACR, and it creates thumbnails without any problem!
So thanks very much, you solved my problem, and I'd tried a lot of different suggestions.
It is counterintuitive I think that the program gives you three different places, tools, ACR and Bridge preferences. No wonder people have problems sorting simple problems like this out

Thumbnail shows wrong photo

Hi, there!
I have 5000 pix in my iPhoto 4 library and have been having trouble with the thumbnails showing the wrong photo. I noticed this first when a thumbnail was very horizontally compressed. . .and when double clicking onto it (to go from "organize" to "edit") it showed a different photo. The title is right and the photo is correct in edit mode, the thumbnail is just wrong. I think maybe a third of my library is currently affected.
I saw that someone posted a similar question a few months ago, and the only answer suggested was to select all the wrong photos and "revert to original" in the photos menu. I can't do this, b/c that option is grayed.
What I've been doing to correct the problem is dragging the photo to my desktop, then when I re-import it, it comes in with the correct thumbnail. (then, I delete the one with the wrong thumbnail.) A tedious way to do it, plus I'm losing some of my info, like the date the photo was shot.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Start iPhoto while holding the optioncommandshift keys until you're prompted about rebuilding the iPhoto library database. Click "yes", then the blue button. Go have a pizza while your library is rebuilt.

Timeline thumbnails show media offline, but media is not offline.

Short version: I opened a project today that I had been working on for a long time. Some of the thumbnails in one of my timelines show up as the red "Media off-line" image. But the media is not off-line. I can play the clips just fine. Everything else seems (more or less -- see below) normal except for a handful of these off-line thumbnails. It's not a disaster, but it makes it hard to find my way around. And I'm worried that it's a sign of something more serious wrong under the surface.
Long version: I'm using an older Macbook Pro with an ESATA expresscard. My media is all on external ESATA drives. My project file is on the Macbook's internal hard drive.
I use my Macbook as a desktop machine. The computer sits on a dedicated shelf on my desk. My cat makes a habit of sleeping on top of the machine. (You can probably guess where this is going.) Most of the time this is not a problem, but about a week ago he decided to stretch in just the wrong way and pushed the expresscard out of its slot. After screaming and throwing the cat across the room, I saved the project file, remounted the disks, re-opened the project file, and breathed a big sigh of relief when everything seemed to be fine. I quit FCP again and put the project on hold for about a week.
Today I reopened the same project file and the trouble started. At first all the timeline thumbnails showed up as media-offline, even thought all indications were that it was on-line. In addition, all my audio and video renderings were gone. I re-did them, and after a while some of the thumbnails restored themselves as well. But not all of them.
All of which has me a little flustered.
Has anyone encountered anything like this before? Is there a way to force FCP to refresh the timeline thumbnails? It's hard to find my way around now that all the clips look the same.
Thanks.

i've experienced this before, but i can't really remember how i sorted it,
i may have deleted the thumbnails out of the scratch disc, or it may have been that i switched the timeline view to name only saved and closed down, then opened it up again and switched them back on to refresh
but i know on no refresh thumbnails button in fcp itself

When i call someone who already connected with another call it doesn't show any wating notification. why? it is very important. all other mobiles have this potion. Please give me some solution.

Your iPhone can take multiple calls. If you answer your phone from one person or call someone and another call comes into you, you will hear a beep and if you pull your phone away from your ear, you will see that you can hang up the call with the 1st person or answer the 2nd call and then swap between the two.
I have no idea what you mean by you calling someone who is already talking to someone. I've never been able to see on my iPhone that someone I'm calling is already talking to someone else.

Poster frames are failing for Mpeg1 assets - thumbnails show up as all white.

I have Mpeg1 encoded files that are created by compressor, they are mpeg1 320x240 @ 1,800kbps with 192kbps mpeg1-L2 audio
When Final Cut Server analyses them, the poster frame job simply fails without any decent info on what went wrong. The thumbnail shows up as pure white.
Does anyone have a clue as to how I fix this, please?
Thanks
Clive

Another bug that will never be fixed...
Thank you Apple for shafting us.

Book thumbnails show full size missing

Trying to help rebuild some books created in iphoto 6. The originals are backed up but she has over 20,000 all with just numbers. The book page thumbnails show the photos but the full size pages show only a gray box. How do I find out what the original photo number is so I can find the full size picture. When I click on the page full view of the book the photos that show give me the info on the photo but the gray boxes give the generic info of the book. If I could get the photo number from the thumbnail it could save me hours.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
By “original photo number” do you mean the file name assigned by the camera - something like IMG_1234.jpg?
Click on the 'i' box lower left and this will open the Info pane which will tell you the filename of the pictures.
However, how did the book lose these pictures? If this is because of database corruption you won't be able to rebuild the book in the same library.
