No Preview Available in Thumbnails

The past couple of times when I have tried to import pictures from my camera into Lightroom 3, when the thumbnails finally come up, it is just a gray box that says no preview available. I have a little over 28,000 pictures in my catalog and have had no problems importing until recently. I optimize and back up my catalog everytime I use Lightroom, but it is getting slower and slower at importing. Tonight when I tried to import, it just froze and even after waiting about 10 minutes even the gray thumbnails hadn't shown up in the previews. Before tonight, once I imported them, I could preview them. I am importing RAW pictures that average in size from 7 to 15mb, but this has not been a problem until the last 2 imports. Has anyone else had this problem and what can I do to make it where I can import my pictures again?

I am importing images straight from a Canon T1i using a USB port. I have had not problems importing this like this until the last 2 imports and it started giving the grey thumbnails after about 15 pictures had imported out of 167 pictures. The next import would only give the grey thumbnails saying no preview available and when I tried to import tonight it just froze up and still hadn't imported any pictures at all. I am using Windows 7 with a 6GB ram, 64 Bit OS with Intel core Duo CPU T6600 2.2GHz

Preview edit same thumbnail

I am not sure if this is a Finder issue, or Preview issue.
When I edit a jpg in Preview, the Finder thumbnail stays the same as before.
How can I make the thumbnails update?

I'm looking for some support on managing Iphoto 11. I'm trying to move photos off my HD onto a Time Capsule backup
If you are running Time Machine and using the TC as the backup volume for TM then you can not do this - TM need a dedicated volume for its backup - it will grow that backup until the volume is full and then start deleting older files (or archiving them is you have an archive drive attached) - this will keep dynamic files like the iPhoto library from working - the iPhoto library (and any other dynamic files) need to be in a separate partition from the TM backup
but when i look at Iphoto, Many of the images have the same thumbnail photo. when i click on them to expand, it may or may not provide me with an image. The expanded image is not the thumbnail image. It also appears that the expanded image, is often a copy of another image. No consistency either when i close and reopen i photo. this is an '11 issue it seems, never encountered by me before an upgrade anyway.
this sounds like a corrupted library - back it up and depress the command and option keys and launch iPhoto and repair the library - if that does not clear it rebuild the library

I'm using LR5.7 on a Mac Mini running Mavericks and when I attempt to import a folder of new RAW photos from my external drive into my catalog instead of seeing a preview of each thumbnail photo I see the following message displayed: "Preview Unavailable

I'm using LR5.7 on a Mac Mini running Mavericks and when I attempt to import a folder of new RAW photos from my external drive into my catalog instead of seeing a preview of each thumbnail photo I see the following message displayed: "Preview Unavailable for this file." If I highlight any other folder of photos the previews are all there. What is the likely reason for these previews being unavailable? JohnnyCam

What camera took these RAW photos?
Did you use any Nikon software to transfer the photos to your computer's hard disk?

No preview available

Running Windows XP where clicking on pdf documents to open them results in Windows Fax Viewer opening displaying the message "No Preview Available". Have tried removing the Acrobat program and re-downloading it, but to no avail.

Are you viewing your CF and SD cards with your camera directly connected to your computer or do you use a card reader?
And are you Mac or Windows?
By the way, Lr 1.0 supports the V-LUX 1. Is that the same as your camera?

CRM Sneck preview available for download and install

Hi,
I was wondering whether a sneak preview version is also available for CRM which can be installed in a PC or a simple server along with the Potal. Portal sneak preview is already available. This is to have a own copy of the CRM for different config etc experiment.
Has anybody done this on his own? Please let me know.
I also wonder whether the same is avilable for BW or not?
Thanks
Arunava

Hi,
You can check the available sneak previews in the sdn downloads section. There is no sneak preview available for CRM or BW as of now.
Thanks,

File preview in Finder not available, only thumbnails. How to fix?

When selecting a file and clicking the space bar, I used to be able to get a preview of the file on the screen that allowed me to scroll through the file (I guess this uses a rendering engine of the application that supports the file format, e.g. MS Powerpoint or Word, so this is not an issue related to the Preview app). This is not available any more. When selecting a file in Finder in Mavericks and then hitting the space bar I only get a thumbnail of the file displayed, usually the first page of the file if it is a document. The preview facility as it was before is extremely useful.

I never knew of this feature with the space bar before. But I just tried it and it does open the selected document in a little preview window. Is this what you want to see?
When I pressed the space bar on this file, this window opened and I was able to scroll through the 3 or 4 pages worth. As you can see I have the option to open it in MS Word if I want to.
This is the same window that opens up when you click on "Quick Look". I don't recall if "Quick Look" is in the menu bar of the Finder Window by default. But if it's not, just right click on the menu bar of the Finder Window and add it to where ever you want it.
Also, see where it says View and gives me 4 options? I use the 3rd option as it gives me a smaller preview of the selected file.
Hope this helps.

Cant see images in Preview only as thumbnails

I recently had my PBG4 17" in for apple care service. A new(I think) HD was installed with an upgrade to OSX3.9 from previous 2.8, everything seems to be working fine except for Preview. They (Apple store) did have to re-install my backed up data and now all my images that preview usually displays come up gray screen except when I open thumbnails then I see them. Can anyone help or should I take my PB back to Apple? Oh yeah and can you help me change the language when I open "About this Mac" under more info the specs are in German.(Deustch)

Hey, i checked the box "Open in 32-bit mode", and it totally solved the prob!
Thank you SO much, this has been driving ,me NUTS!!!!!
Can i ask you- what "mode" was it opening images in if not 32, and why would that option not work?
thanks again! I love you!!!
Apple's programs default to 64bit mode in Snow Leopard. Mostly, this works pretty well, but there have been a few times where problems pop up. I'm sure that as the drivers, flash, and other programs mature, 64 bit will cause fewer problems.
I don't know why your version of Preview is having problems with 64bit because mine is not, but there may be other factors to consider that I'm not an expert on. I suppose you could experiment to see if the problem is with a preference (plist) file. They are located at ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.plist or com.apple.Preview.LSSharedFileList.plist
If you move those two files to the desktop, uncheck the 32bit mode and the program works, then you've found the real problem. Changing the program to run in 32bit mode won't hurt, but it may just be hiding the problem instead of fixing it.
Eiher way, 32 bit mode should be ok for a program like Preview as 64bit mode's advantages of extra ram availability or other advantages won't be missed by today's Macs. As a rule of thumb though, many users are trying to get their systems to run just 64bit applications with the theory that all 64 will help keep the system more stable. We've still got changes coming to improve the situation, including upgrades by almost all 3rd party programs like MS Office or Adobe products. SL is very much a work in progress.
Glad the info helped you get some work done. Thanks for the

Aperture 3.0 referenced masters of 16K photos/104GB on external HD. In library, previews are 21GB & thumbnails 13GB. Best way to make those smaller?

The more I read in the community, the more confused I get. I've got my masters backup'd to another HD & the cloud. Was going to backup the library expecting it to be pretty small and saw preview & thumbnail folders are relatively large. Have read a good way to do it is move both folders somewhere else (as a backup) then restart Aperture to rebuild. I've also read that they sometimes come back distorted. I know the gurus on here hate when you tinker inside the library. I've deleted a lot of pictures using file > delete original image and all versions to get them out of the masters, but I don't think they leave the previews or thumbnails. What is the best way to clean it up and/or reduce the size? Thanks in advance.

You can't shrink the thumbnails. But for the previews, you can reduce the size, and you can reduce the quality (both are options in Aperture settings). Then select all your photos and rebuild the thumbnails. You can probably knock 2/3 of the size out by reducing quality to 8 or so, and limiting the preview size to your screen size.

Preview - Set view Thumbnails as default

Is it possible to open a document in Preview and have it open to show thumbnails as the default instead of Content Only?

Hi Raghavendra,
We are also struggling with this issue. It is possible to set default values, but the question still is whether it is possible to check the Set to Null checkbox automatically?
Any idea?
Cheers,

Brush Cursor Rotation - Preview available?

The problem is well known:
If you are using a tablet that can detect rotation of the pen you can rotate the angle of your brush along with it. This is very useful in inking and painting. In CS5 you get a preview of the way the brush is rotated - but only with the bristle tip brushes. Normal brushes are completely static in preview. When starting the stroke the preview freezes completely however.
Is there any way to fix this? What reason is there it is not already happening?
This is annoying me no end, as I bought the a wacom art pan to that particular end and now I cannot properly use it. Please fix this, if possible.

"This is expected behavior. Unfortunately it would be too big of a performance hit to update the cursor during painting."
So I can only assume by that statement that this feature has actually been created but not implemented into CS6 do to performance issues? I honestly believe that the minds of Adobe can write this feature without having performance issues if Corel Painter can do it. Also looking at the new features and gpu enhancements, why would performance be an issue? This is a beta, at least have the option be available to use or not use for users .
" Is there an option that allows your Brush Cursor to stay active while you paint? If not, will this option be available?"
The first question was answered but not the second question.
Thanks for your quick responce M Shaw

Flash Catalyst "Panini" Preview available at Adobe Labs

I'm not sure how many of you have had time to keep up with what is going on at Adobe Max this year, but some of the keynote videos have demonstrated Flash Catalyst "Panini". There is a preview download of the future version of Flash Catalyst available at the Adobe Labs site here:
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashcatalyst_panini/
It's beta software, so all the usual caveats apply (you can learn more from the link above). Apart from the advances made in Flash Catalyst "Panini", the most immediate pieces are that this preview version can co-exist with a Flash Catalyst CS5 install (so no need to uninstall Fc CS5 to try it) and that this particular preview build doesn't open Fc CS5 projects.
Hopefully you find it to be an improvement and we welcome your feedback.
--Nate
Quality Engineer on Flash Catalyst

I found a bit of information about serial numbers on the Panini download page:
These downloads provide 30-day trial versions of Flash Catalyst "Panini" for Mac OS and Windows. You can extend the preview release by entering a valid Flash Catalyst CS5 serial number. If you own a copy of the Creative Suite 5 editions of Design Premium, Web Premium, Production Premium or Master Collection, you can also extend the use of Flash Catalyst "Panini" by requesting an extension serial number.
Though it looks like the extension serial number system isn't active until later this month.

THe channel is 1768
Hello,
At this time, one can stream about 75 live TV channels from the iPad, Xbox 360, LG Smart TV, and Samsung Smart TV.
From the iPad, this is through the 'FiOS Mobile' app from the App store.
For a list of channels available for Live TV on the aforementioned devices, you can go to either:
http://www22.verizon.com/home/livetv and select the link 'See available channels'
OR
http://www22.verizon.com/home/fiostv/features#connect and select the link 'your favorite TV channels'.
Keep in mind that you have to be subscribed to the selected TV channel in your FiOS TV package in order to watch that channel live.
Also, as PJL has mentioned, the live TV streaming would work only if connected to your residential home network.
Lastly, if you'd like to submit the suggestion to include international channels to live TV streaming on the iPad (and other devices), you can do so via Verizon Idea Exchange.
Suggestions for any Verizon service/product/offering on the internet, telephone or TV can be made in the 'Idea Exchange' section of the Verizon Community Forums where it'll be noticed more by other Verizon community members as well as Verizon employees who can bring up individual ideas to the appropriate teams.
Also, forum members can vote on the posted idea for greater emphasis.

No Preview available when importing pictures into lightroom

Using lightroom 1.0 and my Nikon d200 with a cf card I am able to see preview pictures when deciding what to import into lightroom. Using a new Leica V Lux with an SD card I am not able to see photos prior to importing into lightroom. Have searched for an answer to no avail. I must be missing something but can't figure our what. Can anyone help me?? ml
