No longer able to view images saved on external HD

I have been using an external HD for about 9 months and it holds my iTunes and iPhoto libraries. In the past few months I have encountered a problem opening photos with iPhoto: I can see the photo rolls (thumbnails), but when I double click on the thumbnail, the image flashes up at full size but then disappears and is replaced by an error page (grey backgound, white dotted line around where the image would have been, and an exclamation mark in the middle). The curious thing is that I only have this problem with landscape photos - portrait photos open without any problems. This problem applies to new photos as well as photos that have previously been opened while on the external HD.
I can open the images in other applications (including Photoshop, safari, and firefox) without any problems. I also have no problems with the iTunes library.

The ! or ? turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
The most common cause of this is User Activity in the iPhoto Library Folder in the Finder.
Have you altered, moved or renamed anything in the iPhoto Library Folder?
If you haven't, then try rebuilding the database. Hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose the top three options.
If that fails, also try Download BatchMod from
http://macchampion.com/arbysoft/
And apply it to the iPhoto Library Folder using the settings found here:

How do you do this? By surfing the iPhoto Library Folder with these apps? This is not recommended and could be the cause of your issue.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

In IPhoto '08, Photos under Library, I'm no longer able to view a screen of thumbnails. I'm only able to view a single photo at one time. This was not true in the past.

Note the slider lower right of the iPhoto Window. Drag it left.

I used a partitioned HDD for time machine, using a partition already containing other data files. I am now no longer able to view that partition in Finder. Disk Utility shows it in grey and "not mounted". Any suggestions of how to access the files?

Yes, sharing a TM disk is a bad idea, and disks are cheap enough so that you don't need to.

Have you tried to repair the disk yet

Why am I longer able to view video tutorials

I have PSE9. When I first got the software I was able to view video tutorials. It seems that since PSE10 came out I am not longer able to view them. Once the tutorial loads in, the screen for viewing remains black. What is the solution to be able to view again these video tutorials?

Nothing has changed since I purchased PSE9. My browser is Firefox.The only
thing that I can think of is that PSE10 came out and now I can no longer
view the tutorial videos I used to be able to watch.
I am worried that if I try to uninstall PSE9 that I will not be able to
reinstall it. I have the disk for the program but I worry about the
re-registration. I bought this on Amazon just prior to the release of PSE10. It was
selling at a very discounted price, that is why I bought it. Everything
worked fine till a few weeks ago.

Links no longer open when viewing images in search results, why?

When viewing the results from an image search, you used to be able to click and open a link, at the bottom left of the viewed image, which took you to the origin page of the image you are viewing. When clicking those links now, it simply opens up the same image results window, but not the origin page.

Are you using Google image search?
It sounds like you have the older results style instead of the new one (where a large black section zooms into the page, with new separate buttons for the image and the site).
So that we could see what you're seeing, could you copy the URL of the results page from the address bar and paste it into a reply? For the example, please do a search for something general like puppies to avoid posting any confidential information.
More generally:
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
In case one of your extensions is involved, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

No longer able to edit images inside the blog module? Has BC removed this function?

When inserting images into a blog post I used to be able to resize images, add margins, etc. I tried to do this recently but those tools were no longer there. Is this no longer available? Below is a screenshot of what it used to look like.
Since there is no featured image for blog posts I've been inserting images into the first paragraph as a work around. Not being able to edit those images directly in the blog module is going to make that more difficult.
I've been able to resize the image through code, but this is not exactly user friendly for clients.

Hi Beth, Liam answered this for me on another post.
Go into site settings / beta features/ untick active beta feature untick "enable for everybody". That should do the trick.
Check this link to see the conversation I am having with liam as I think we are on the same page....or maybe you can help with my questions...
is it possible to truncate the blog so 2 paragraphs show up?
cheers,

Not able to view images in gallery, when they are ...

Hi,
The file explorer was showing two default images folder and I was unable to delete one of them as I was unable to view images via gallery. Then i installed X-plore and deleted one of the images folder. Now, when I click images and select memory card as storage space, I cannot view them via gallery and view them only via X-plore. Please suggest how can I correct this issue.

Maybe I am stupid but if you delete the imagefolder, it will be gone. You can set your default imagefolder: goto Media-> Camera-> Settings-> Use Memory-> Card. You can also backup your card to PC, reformat the card in your phone, because it makes default maps for images, video, audio,.........and then copy your images back to the specific folder.

What is the best way to view images on an External Hard Drive?

I have a Macbook Pro with the latest OS X Yosemite
Can anyone tell me the best way to easily view thumbnail images on the external hard drive because at present I am having to open each folder and would ideally like to see all thumbnail images in similarity to what Adobe Bridge has! (I have not got Adobe Bridge).
Any pointers or advice please?

No Longer Able To Resize Images (PDF Attachments)

I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard and am now unable to resize my PDF attachments once they are within an email.
Maybe I'm missing something, but in the older version of Mail / Leopard I was able to easily resize my attached PDF's on the fly by simply adjusting their size from a drop-down menu in the lower-right corner of the email window by selecting: Image Size: "Small" "Medium" "Large" or "Actual Size."
To the best of my knowledge, this window no longer exists for PDF's, although it is still available for attached JPEG resizing.
I am deeply invested into using and resizing PDF's in my workflow and would like to regain this ability.
Any suggestions or solutions for this dilemma would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks,
John

Please check this further -- make sure you open the PDF with a PDF reader in a copy either sent to yourself or in the Sent mailbox. Do not base the resolution on what you see if it is a one page PDF, and Mail is displaying it in the message with View in Place. The View in Place is not the full story.

No longer able to view the device in iTunes client

All of a sudden, when syncing my iPod Nano, I can no longer click on the device name on the left hand pane to enter the view where I can control and change options while syncing. It still syncs, but when I click on the device name, nothing happens. This just started happening.

Very grateful for your response and time.
The Application I am talking about can be found when you open up a NEF file in Bridge and look at the Metadata tab on the right. Within that is the File Properties tab and the Application Ver. is the 3rd item from the top (after Filename and Document Type).
Yes, I do have only the one ACR file (Camera Raw.8bi.) in the program file/COMMON FILE/Adobe/plug ins/cs3/file formats.
I have also realized (brilliantly late in the game) that it is only the NEF files shot from my new D300s that do not work. No problem with the NEF files shot with my D100. So this leads me to conclude that my Bridge/Photoshop CS3 does not support the Camera Raw 5 that seems to be required for the D300s. Argh.
By upgrading my camera equipment, I have outmoded my requisite software.
I must say, that the recent post advisory on the forum site ("Raw files appear as icons") was supremely timely. While this does not solve my problem, it did help me understand the compatibility issues with the D300s and CS3. I have learned the following: D300s are supported by Camera Raw 5.5 which does not work with CS3. Is this correct?

I'm working on a MAC and my LR4 is no longer able to read images off my memory cards.

I've never had a problem before, this just started yesterday. I tried importing images off my SanDisk and my LR4 was unable to read the images. On the same Mac, I was able to import the same images into iPhoto. I tried taking pictures using another card and came across the same problem when trying to import. I was told from a professional photographer friend that this is a very shady way of getting one to upgrade. Please tell me that's not true.

When deleting the preferences file do I delete all the files? Specifically, I see:
com.adobe.Lightroom4.plist
com.adobe.Lightroom4.LSSharedFileList.plist.lockfile
com.adobe.Lightroom4.plist.lockfile
com.adobe.Lightroom4.LSSharedFileList.plist
Sorry for sounding like an idiot. This is all new to me, but I (think) I'm happy for the experience!
I tried initially to just delete the com.adobe.Lightroom4.plist and I'm still having difficulty importing. I'm working with 4.4.

No longer able to view virtual machine from Hyper-V Manager

From the Windows 2008 R2 host machine, I can run the Hyper-V Manager and 'connect' to the Virtual Machine. The window pops up with nothing but a gray background (clearly the same gray background of the log in screen), but no 'ctrl-alt-delete' prompt
and no ability to log in. This was previously working fine.
Note that I can still make a Remote Desktop connection to the Virtual Machine and it works fine.
Thanks.

Hi,
I never seen this issue before, base on my experience, it may cause by your AV soft block some critical components of Hyper-V host, please try the following exclude specific
directories or process with your AV soft.
•Default virtual machine configuration directory (C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Hyper-V)
•Custom virtual machine configuration directories
•Default virtual hard disk drive directory (C:\Users\Public\Documents\Hyper-V\Virtual Hard Disks)
•Custom virtual hard disk drive directories
•Custom replication data directories, if you are using Hyper-V Replica
•Snapshot directories
•Vmms.exe (Note: This file may have to be configured as a process exclusion within the antivirus software.)
•Vmwp.exe (Note: This file may have to be configured as a process exclusion within the antivirus software.)

No longer able to view NEF files in Bridge or edit in Camera Raw 4.6

I have found similar questions in various Adobe forums, but I have not located a solution to my problem.
Bridge CS3
Photoshop CS3 Extended
XP
Camera Raw version 4.6.0.30
Nikon D300s
Up until 2 weeks ago I have been copying my NEF files from my CF card via reader, opening Bridge, selecting thumbnail of NEF and opening it in Photoshop CS3. At which point I can process with Camera Raw 4.6.
Now, once new NEF files copied and Bridge opened, I only see NEF icons. When I double click the file, Photoshop opens and a box appears with the following text: Could not complete your request because it is not the right kind of document.
Upon inspecting the differences between NEF files that I can edit and the new NEF files that I cannot, I notice in the metadata file properties that the application of the successful files is ver. 2.00 and the duds is ver. 1.00.
What "application" is the metadata referring to? I think this may be a Nikon setting, but it would help me understand the problem better if I knew what "application" this is.
I can convert the new NEF files into jpgs using Adobe DNG Converter, but this GREATLY complicates a previously straightforward work flow process.
Thank you for any light that may be shed on vexing dilemma,
Kate
