No picture with thumbnails

I've been having a problem with iPhoto and this is a new problem.
When I used to open iPhoto I saw all my pictures in thumbnail form, but for some reason I lost them all.
When I went to my Pictures folder in Finder I was able to get them back into iPhoto.
Now I see all the thumbnails back in iPhoto, but when I click on some of them I get an this !, an exclamation point instead of the picture I clicked on.
After I did this whole process I stupidly trashed all the original pictures thinking they were now back in iPhoto and that's probably why I get instead
of the picture.
I went into Time Machine and thought I restored at least some of the photos, but I'm still getting .
I thought reinstalling iPhoto would help, but don't know how to reinstall it.
Hope you can help. Thanks.
Peter

Well, I just got all my pictures back. If you look on the upper right of this page and click on "iPhoto '11 All Photos Lost" and follow Old Toad's directions you'll restore all you photo's. What a life saver.
You won't get all the data back, but at least you'll have your pictures.
Thanks Old Toad.

Can I share my iphoto pictures with AT

Can I share my iphoto pictures with my AT&T Uverse tv?

Yes, this is exactly how I use iPhoto on my system.
You do need to update the permissions on the iPhoto directory after it's moved to the Shared folder. the default permissions will only permit your account to fully access the files, your wife's account will get errors or not see thumbnails correctly when accessing the pictures from iPhoto in her account.
After moving the iPhoto Library into Shared (and with iPhoto closed), Get Info on the iPhoto Library folder and change the Others access to Read+Write. Let it apply to all enclosed folders, also. Then hold down the Option key while starting iPhoto and choose the Shared version of the folder as your Library. Repeat the iPhoto launch w/option key on the other account as well and each user will access the same set of pictures, albums, keywords, etc. Just make sure you don't open iPhoto from both accounts at the same time. Close iPhoto before walking away from the computer or letting the other person logon.

Bug in Elements 12 with Thumbnails.

Under PSE-10 I had an occassional bug with thumbnails in that sometimes they disappeared and were replaced with grey squares. Right-clicking "Update Thumbnail" got them back, even if sometimes not for long.
I had hoped that in PSE-12 the bug would have been fixed, but in fact it is much worse. PSE-12 gets into a state where if I scroll through my pictures (about 18'000) some of the thumbnails first appear and then very quickly they are overwritten in grey. Sometimes Update brings them back, but often it doesn't. Sometimes changing the magnification gets the images back, and sometimes it doesn't. Moreover, changing the magnification seems often simply to rescale an image by pixel replication without recalculating from scratch, leaving a badly out of focus image.
Has anyone else seen this effect and, if they have, found a remedy? (Well, it is not impossible, I suppose...)

I spoke too soon. After a short amount of playing with PSE-Organizer the thumb.5.cache file is back up to 663 MB and the thumbnails are quickly being replaced by grey boxes with a broken link icon.
I was going to tell you that 35.6 MB can't hold all your thumbnails. 663 MB seems the right size.
About files the thumbnails of which don't update : are they very big files ? are they raw files ?
Here is an old Adobe paper about similar symptoms in PSE6:

ZIndex issue with thumbnails in spry gallery

I am seeing problems with the z-index (zIndex) of the
thumbnails for the gallery demo in IE browsers (IE6 XP and IE7
Vista)... works fine in Firefox and others, of course. If you
reduce the margin around the thumbnails div... the image is "under"
the image to the right or below (when more than one line of
thumbs).
You can see this in your demo, but it's more pronounced if
you change the dimensions of the thumbs and/or reduce the margin in
the #thumbnails div rule.
Any solutions for fixing IE? If it's not possible to fix the
zIndex issue, is it possible to modify how the thumbnail images
are"grown"? so, rather than center out, perhaps grow them from the
bottom right corner, so that they never attempt to overlap other
thumbs to the right or below?
Help appreciated!

I'll try to find it.
In the meantime, I tweaked the script on this LSM example
page so that the
thumbnail rollovers are overlapping the little thumbnails.
That gives you a
clearer picture of them "not going under".

Aperture Star/reject ratings have disappeared from pictures and thumbnails.

After several trouble-free months my star ratings and/or reject crosses have disappeared from the pictures and thumbnails, however the stars can still be seen in the appropriate metadata display. I can still add or delete stars from the metadata. Have I accidentally blanked the display?
T5G5

do any adjustment badges display on the thumbs ??? chances are you accidentally turned off the display badges option ...
in the manual pages 231 and 243 may be of particular interest ... it deals with metadata overlays and badges ...
keyboard shortcuts 'Y' and 'U' will hide the metadata overlays for viewer and browser views ...
try those ...

Insert static picture between thumbnails and sliding pictures

Hello everybody,
I try to create a fullscreen slideshow behind a static picture with transparent areas in muse ... unsuccessfully!
In the fullscreen background should be the changing pictures.
Over these sliding pictures, one static picture with transparent areas, fullscreen (important!), so that you can see parts of slideshow.
And in the foreground has to be the thumbnails and buttons trigger to control slideshow.
How can I insert a static picture between thumbnails and sliding pictures?
Thank you!

Problem with thumbnails not showing

I am having a problem with thumbnails of psd files showing up in the Organizer for PSE 9 for mac. I get a picture of a ripped file in place of the thumbnail. If i bring that file into the editor I can see it fine, it just won't show me a thumbnail in the Organizer.

Hi,
Select the images in which you are not getting the thumbnails, then EDIT>Update thumbnail.
It should update the thumbnails.
If the issue is still there
Go to the catalog location (to see the catalog location, Click HELP>SYSTEM info>Catalog location)
Here you will find a file called thumb.5.cache, rename it to thumb_OLD.5.cache or move it to desktop.
Relaunch the PSE it will recreate the thumb.5.cache and hopefully it resolve the issue.

Muse autoplay pictures in thumbnails slideshow

I have followed the tutorial on adding a thumbnails slideshow to my Muse site and enabled Auto play.
When in preview the Auto play initially works as advertiised advancing the pictures with a fade.
Great!
However, after clicking a few of the images, it doen't go back into auto play.
What am I doing wrong.
Thanks, your customer,
Mark

Hello friends, I was having this problem and I solved in the following way.
First, export your site. Open the file in the scripts folder and musewpslideshow.js
f._attachStopOnClickHandler(b,b.$stopBtn);f._attachStopOnClickHandler(b,b.$closeBtn);j&&g. contentLayout_runtime!=="lightbox"&&f._attachStopOnClickHandler(b,j.$element);
Save to wipe out the words. All this good work ...

Picture to thumbnail icon

For many years I've been using two apps to convert pictures into thumbnail icons for my desktop - Pic2Icon and Thumbnail Pro. Now I've switched to Leopard and they no longer work. They make an icon, but the drop shadow function and other functions don't work so the icons are just flat and not as nice.
Do you know of any software for Mac that can take a JPEG or PNG file and make a thumbnail icon with a drop shadow?
Thanks for your time,
Scott

Hi jsd2,
Thanks for that suggestion of CocoThumbX. I downloaded it and it did create a thumbnail picture, however when viewing it in 'Columns' view, the large area of 'border' around the image (in the form of a black film strip) means the image is scaled down so much that it is difficult to see what it is and I generally still have to click on it to force Preview to open in the next column to allow me to see which clip it is. I know I could use 'Icons' view, but I'm also converting some files to MPEG4 using iSquint, and when the 'Add' window opens in iSquint to allow me to select the file/s I want to convert I have the problem of the tiny images not being quite big enough for me to decipher what they are. The original thumbnail pictures (when it decides it will display a thumbnail picture!) are only marginally bigger but it is still better.
I've tried to get rid of the black border in the CocoThumbX thumbnails in the hope that the image can then fill the entire allocated space, but cannot find a way. Do you know if it can be removed, or possibly of another utility that has no border?
I would appreciate your further advice, thanks.
Cheers,
Lehla

Open the picture with photohsop from bridge

I forgot to set it up.
Open the picture from thumbnail (Bridge) with Photoshop.
i did set it up at work and couldn't remember now.
thanks for reading

In Bridge, use Ctrl K to bring up Preferences.
If you want to edit raw files in PS,under "General", uncheck "Double Click Edits Camera Raw Settings"
For other files:
Under "File Type Associations," set Photoshop CS4 for the files you want opened in PS.

Take picture with iPhone but it does not display it

I take pictures with iPhone but it does not display it

Take a picture. Tap on the thumbnail at the bottom left (portrait) or bottom right (landscape) of the screen to display it and access the rest of the camera roll. Why is everybody complicating this?

Pictures and thumbnails??

When I take pictures with the camera on my phone it save 2 copies of the picture. One is the full size version of the picture and one is a thumbnail size of the picture. When I go to download the pictures on to my PC it downloads both copies of the pic's onto my PC. This is quite annoying. Is there away to stop it from taking or saving the thumbnail size of the picture on the camera so it does download onto the PC?
thanks
Ken

Good afternoon Ken!
I can imagine how frustrating it can be to get and download duplicate pictures. Deleting the duplicates would be worse. From the forum, I see you have a Droid Charge, is this correct? Are you using default camera application, or 3rd party camera application? On default camera, open camera, select big square on the left, (Shooting Mode), then select Single Shot, and take picture. Let's see if helps. Please keep us posted.
Thank you,

Adding Pictures with iWeb

I have some high-quality digital camera pictures - .jpg's - I would like to add to my Web site. Of course the large size photos are too big for the Web, and so was wondering if iWeb somehow can help bring them to the proper size and even create some kind of automatic Web-page complete with thumbnails ... that type of thing?
Q: Can iWeb help with this part of the Web page?

Dave,
Yes, iWeb can do that. If you drag photos to a photo page template iWeb creates thumbnails that point to larger images and it also creates a slideshow.
I usually preprocess my photos before dragging them to the photo page but I think iWeb can resize them for you. You can also resize them easily in iPhoto and then use the iWeb media browser to bring them into the iWeb pages.

I have tried importing jpg's from a folder and a DVD, and results are always the same - thumbnails only, no originals to be found.
What am I doing wrong?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
