Newly imported thumbnails not showing previews

Today when I was importing images off a memory card I noticed the thumbnails in library mode were not showing any previews, they were blank (gray) for only the recently imported items. My other folders' thumbnails are showing previews with no issue.
I am working in Lightroom 4. I am using Windows 8 on a HP laptop.
A couple of other notes about what I noticed...
1. In the import screen the thumbnails display the preview.
2. Once the import goes to the Library Mode - thumbnails are blank. Can only see the image number and any symbols indicating tags or changes to the image.
3. Loupe view I cannot get an image to appear.
4. In the Develop Mode if I click on a thumbnail down in the filmstrip (which are all blank) an image will appear in the work area and the filmstrip thumbnail will display a preview of the one I selected. The thumbnail preview will remain visible for a few moments after moving to a new image. Then it just goes blank again.
5. I was importing jpegs and dngs. Having the same problem with both of these today.
6. All the other thumbnails in folders that were in the catalog prior to today are visible and working normally.
I am wondering how to fix this problem of newly imported images not displaying an image in the thumbnail whether it is in Library Mode, Loupe View, or Develop mode.
Thank you for any help you can provide.

I'd delete the preview cache and rebuild - that may help (or it may not).
To do so, exit Lightroom, then delete .lrdata folder alongside .lrcat file.
PS - delete entire .lrdata folder, but do NOT delete .lrcat file or anything else.
(if it has 'Smart Previews' in the filename, don't delete it - just delete the other one).
Then, re-open Lightroom and rebuild previews using Library - Previews menu (optional, but probably worthwhile).
If no better, then you have an system/app problem as opposed to a preview-data problem.

Thumbnail not showing preview

With finder, I am unable to see the thumbnail of the photo's. I used to be able to but I had to reinstall my system and now it's gone. Is there a way to get that back? I hate having to click each picture, and preview opening up just to see what the picture is. Any way on getting thumbnail preview back?

What you are looking for is in the Finder View menu item, under "Show View Options"--open a folder, put it into icon view, then select the view options and make sure that "Show icon preview" is checked. For column view you want to have both boxes check, for show icon and show preview column.

Newly imported albums not showing up on aTV

I am running iTunes 9.0 on a Mac Mini and aTV 2.4. I do not store any content physically on the aTV drive. I stream everything wirelessly from iTunes. All of the albums, artists, etc. that were in my iTunes library when I first set up my aTV are showing up in the My Music section of my aTV; however, I just added a few new albums to my iTunes library and they are not showing up anywhere on the aTV. I would think that the aTV would automatically refresh its list to mirror what is in my physical iTunes library on the Mac Mini, but obviously it is not doing that. How do I get it the aTV to refresh what it's list so that my new imports show up?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Newly imported site not showing

I've imported an existing website into Dreamweaver and am not seeing anything in my index.html. I see that more files and folders have been added to my local site folder, but am not sure where to go from here. The /htdocs folder from the remote site (which is where I was told by previous designer that everything lived) is not listed as a folder in my new local site. I did a "get" entire site, and thought, from the doc that the folder structure would be maintained. Any advice on next step?

I think the solution is a matter is simply not having your site definition set up properly. Here is a great short tutorial from Lynda.com that takes you through the steps. Have a look at it and see if you can find any clues.

ARQ: Role Import does not show roles in the preview

Dear All,
Recently I upgraded our system to SP#14. Now when I try to import roles from NWBC->AM->Role Mass Maintenance->Role Import, it does not show roles in preview. Also, it does not import the roles specified. (either a range or full name of the role). It does not even give any error message.
I implemented SAP note#1897975 Role import does not show roles in the preview.
Still facing the same problem. Has any one faced this problem? Please suggest.
Regards,
Faisal

HI Faisal,
This note(1897975) you have to implement in Plug-in System, try to check the same once and let me know if it resolves our issue.

My imports are not showing up in Photos or Events

My imports are not showing up in Photos or Events. The only place I can see them is in the "Last Import" folder. When I try to re-import them it pops up the Duplicate warning which means they are in the library but not showing up. Any ideas?

If they are in last import then they should be there - check the date on one of the photos in last import and look for that date in your library - last import, photos and events are simply different ways of viewing the same photos - if they are there in one view they are there in all views - somewhere
Select a pic in Last Import and Right-Click on it. Choose 'Show Event' from the menu. This will bring you to the Event containing the photo.
If the photo is in Last Import, then the photo is in the Library somewhere, just not where you expect it to be. Usual causes: the date on your camera is wrong, and so the date on the photo is wrong, or the sorting of the Events has changed (View Menu -> Sort Events)

TS2972 why is the import button not showing at the button right hand corner of iTunes?

why is the import button not showing at the bottom right hand corner of my ITunes page. I am trying to transfer files from my home share library onto a new computers library.

Pallets do not show preview first time when clicked

My pallet bars in Photoshop CS4 do not show preview in first instance. For example, my Navigator bar does not show the image of the layout until you click in-n-out of the bar several times, than it appears. Same With History bar. History bar is a little faster to appear, I only need to click out of it ones for the history states to appear. This is annoying me because this slowness of pallet bar rendering is driving me insane. I can't get anything done. I'm running Snow Leopard.
Here are the images to describe the problem:

I don’t know what the problem is, but I have a suspicion that You may be short on RAM.
You might try to tune Your Preferences – Performance-settings.

Import From Device "show preview" Does not work for RAW (Canon T1i/500D)

Hi,
Not sure if anyone else has seen this. I just got a canon T1i (500D for you Europeans). When I plug the camera into the computer and select Import From Device, and select "show preview" in the import window, only the JPEGs show thumbnails. All of my RAW images show up as grey boxes. This is the first digital SLR I ever owned, and the first time I am really using lightroom. This kills my workflow plans, as I ususally download images into folders, and name them, by category. Without seeing the thumbnails, it is impossible to know what category what images belong to.
Anywone have any ideas? Does this happen with all RAW images on all cameras? Is it a T1i problem?
Thanks.

OK, I have the previews working now, which is good. Here is how I am using the tool.
1) put the card in a card reader
2) select import from device
I noticed a couple of things that are very frustrating:
1) I Don't see a way to delete photos from the import tool, either manually or automatically after import. I seem to have to delete thing through explorer (I am on windows xp)
2) There is no indication of whether you have downloaded an image already or not. The software that came with the camera puts an arrow on all downloaded pictures. This is very nice if you are not importing all your pictures at once.
3) My camera takes movies. There is no way to import them along with the rest of the files (yes I know lightroom is not a movie tool, but having to use another program or explorer is annoying). Furthermore, every time I try to import files when there is a movie on the card, I get an error saying movies will be skipped. The pics still import, but it is irritating.
Any suggestions? I am trying to figure out a good work flow. I would import everything and than organize the files, but I don't see any easy way to resort files and rename them en-mass. I tried moving files in explorer, but, as could be expected, LR could not find the files afterward. I re-synced the folder, but that lost the changes I made on images (I did not have them saved as DNG, so the modifications were in the side car, I guess).
Thanks,

IPhoto Preview Thumbnails not showing up in FrontRow

When cycling through my albums and slideshows I am not seeing the preview images to the left of the iPhoto titles. I tried rebuilding the iPhoto Thumbnails and database using the Cmd-Opt keys when starting iPhoto and that still did not do it. The odd thing is if I edit an image in iPhoto and it saves the new file then a preview shows up in Front Row. Then you can see that Front Row is trying to cycle throught the rest of the thumbnails since the preview area stutters a bit. The images in my iPhoto library are all JPEGs and when I look in the /users/me/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Data/YYYY/ ... There are thumbnails in those directories as I would expect. I am using a brand new iMac and I did a firewire transfer of my stuff from my powerbook al when I took the machine out of the box. I also deleted all my iPhoto pictures in my library (I have a backup) using iPhoto and started adding fresh jpegs...still the same behavior. I posted this problem on the Front Row forum and Doug feels this is an iPhoto problem. Is this a bug? Is there a preference setting that I am missing?
Thanks

TD,
Thanks, The photos appear in iPhoto in the expected manner. I looked for a front row cache and Doug in the Front Row forum seemed to think that Front Row is just dipping into the iPhoto Thumbnails instead of having its own "cache". Seems like I am in a stalemate hear. I am fairly new to the Mac community. My last Mac was an SE30, which went out of my life long ago. Is there any way to find out if this a bug or bring this to Apple's attention?
Thanks

Why aren't thumbnails of pages are not showing preview with master applied?

I was trying the basic tutorial, and noticed that when I click into the pages, the master is applied, but in the plan sitemap view, the master content is not showing up in their thumbnails. Meanwhile, the tutorial video shows the sitemap page thumbnails are including the master page content. Is there a view setting I don't know about?

As you can see, the master is applied to all child pages, and none of the master content is previewed in the thumbnails. I even tried checking and unchecking the thumbnail box. But when I click into the child pages, the master content is shown. It's just not appearing in this view.

Imported photos not showing thumbnails

I'm brand spankin' new to iMovie and can't seem to get my photo thumbnails to show.
I want to drag and drop folders into iMovie but when I do, all I get is a generic icon and no thumbnail of the image.,
They do show up when I preload them into iPhoto and then open iMovie, but I've got thousands of images and I'm not going to be loading them into iPhoto because iPhoto takes up so much space when you import images (about 2mb per image).
So, is there a way to get these thumbnails to show up? The images are jpg and CR2 and both worked with iPhoto, but not a direct import.
Thanks for any help!!
Brian

Check your camera date - typically this is due to the event sorting in to an expected place due to incorrect the incorrect dates

3gp thumbnails not showing in elements 10 - organizer

Hi, I have elements photo and video. I imported videos. was told to download and install quicktime. I did. but the 3gp videos preview (thumbnail) is not showing a picture. the files are all there, and I can see the name of the video. i can even play it, edit it, etc. But, no thumbnail preview as I see for my other format video files.
what to do ? can you help a guy out?

Thanks! I'll try it. But doesn't that import images from all files and folders on the drive being searched? How might I selectively import image files, i.e., from specific folders? I tried your suggestion, and it seems to work, however, one folder contains 119 JPEG images, and no matter what I've tried, shows only 13 images in the organizer. What might I try to correct the problem? Thanks!

Don't use folder view that way. Just got to File>Get Photos>From Files and Folders to import your images.
