No preview for imported photos any more (just an hour-glass?) Elements 9 Org

up until last month my photos showed up as normal thumbnails but I must have changed something?? Anything I import into PS Elements 9 Organizer is blank, only shows an hourglass. Can someone please help??
Thanks,
Jeff.

Hi,
First of all, this is a user-user forum and although some employess do pop in from time to time, Adobe don't monitor this one.
It could be that your problem is not that common which is why you haven't had any other replies.
It is possible that your thumbnail cache has become corrupted. Here are some suggestions for fixing the problem: http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#_Recrea te_Organizer_thumbnails
Can I assume you are using Windows?
Have you tried right clicking on one of the hour glasses and selecting Update Thumbnail to see if that one gets generated?
Good luck
Brian

TS3195 My mac mini (Snow Leopard, v10.6.8) does not acknowledge my iphone 4, iphone 4s or ipad2 in iPhoto, Image Capture, iSync or Preview but it does in iTunes. I am at a loss for importing photos, short of emailing them. Glitch with OS X 10.6.8 ?

My Mac Mini (v10.6.8) does not acknowledge my iphone as a device in iPhoto, Image Capture, iSync or Preview although, iTunes does. I am at a loss for importing photos other than emailing them to myself. Same problem with my iphone 4, iphone 4s, ipad2 and New iPad. Is this a problem with OS X 10.6.8 as I read some posts claim? Please help.

I was able to import photos in iPhoto and Image capture when I was running SL 10.6.8 on my older MacBook.
Did you try quitting everything, restart the Mac and then try again?
Are there any updates at all for the Mac? I was helping one user not all that long ago and there were updates for her Mac software that had nothing to do with the OS and when she downloaded the updates - the iPad was then recognized in iTunes.

IPhoto9.3.2 on 10.7.4 will not let me delete photos any more

iPhoto9.3.2 on a iMac i7 2.93 GHz with 12GB running MacOS 10.7.4 will not let me delete photos any more, neither delete, comman delete or even emptying the trash works since i updated it a week ago.
anyone else have the same problem or a solution?

Same issue, but it's more involved... I don't use iphoto much, just to store photos, but I first noticed the problem about 2 months ago when trying to delete a photo.   It would not delete, and afterwards iphoto would hang on close, and trying to delete caused a crash entry in the log.    here's some details:
OS X 10.7.4, and 10.7.3. Possibly earlier.
iphoto 9.3.2, and one of the version 8's as well. Recently updated it.
If you try to delete a photo, here is the subsquent syslog:

Technical informations:
PC with Windows 7 64-bit, Lightroom 5.7.1 64-bit installed.
What I have done:
I downloaded the newest LR 5.71 and installed it again - mode repair; without success
I checked my PC with Norton 360: full scanning and optimizing registry
I restarted the PC and than I installed the LR 5.7 again - repair
Trouble 1:
Two days ago I could work with my LR 5 and to import pictures from a SD was no problem. Now I can start LR 5 and I can watch/modify pictures, but as soon as I try to import new pictures LR 5 stops and gives the message "your LR 5 64-bit does not work correctly - searching for solution". I have not changed anything in my computer since lasttime LR 5 worked properly, only the registry was optimized by Norton 360.
Trouble 2:
I live in Switzerland and my language ist German. I dit not find a place where I can present my problem in German, e.g. a phone number oder email-address oder german-chat. My English is to week for a discussion for computer problems and do understand it.

I have some suggestions. But first, you realize that you have some redundant indexes, right? You have an index on account(account_name) and also account(account_name, account_id), and also account_history(invoice_id) and account_history(invoice_id, adjustment_id). No matter, I will suggest some new composite indexes.
Also, you do not need two lines for these conditions:
and round(a.account_balance, 2) > 0
AND a.account_balance > 0
You can just use: and a.account_balance >= 0.005
So the formatted query isselect a.account_id,
       round(a.account_balance, 2) account_balance,
       nvl(ah.invoice_id, ah.adjustment_id) transaction_id,
       to_char(ah.effective_start_date, 'DD-MON-YYYY') transaction_date,
       to_char(nvl(i.payment_due_date, to_date('30-12-9999', 'dd-mm-yyyy')),
               'DD-MON-YYYY') due_date,
       ah.current_balance - ah.previous_balance amount,
       decode(ah.invoice_id, null, 'A', 'I') transaction_type
from account a, account_history ah, invoice i
where a.account_id = ah.account_id
   and a.account_type_id = 1000002
   and (ah.invoice_id is not null or ah.adjustment_id is not null)
   and ah.CURRENT_BALANCE > ah.previous_balance
   and ah.invoice_id = i.invoice_id(+)
   AND a.account_balance >= .005
order by a.account_id, ah.effective_start_date desc;You will probably want to select:
1. From ACCOUNT first (your smaller table), for which you supply a literal on account_type_id. That should limit the accounts retrieved from ACCOUNT_HISTORY
2. From ACCOUNT_HISTORY. We want to limit the records as much as possible on this table because of the outer join.
3. INVOICE we want to access last because it seems to be least restricted, it is the biggest, and it has the outer join condition so it will manufacture rows to match as many rows as come back from account_history.
Try the query above after creating the following composite indexes. The order of the columns is important:create index account_composite_i on account(account_type_id, account_balance, account_id);
create index acct_history_comp_i on account_history(account_id, invoice_id, adjustment_id, current_balance, previous_balance, effective_start_date);
create index invoice_composite_i on invoice(invoice_id, payment_due_date);All the columns used in the where clause will be indexed, in a logical order suited to the needs of the query. Plus each selected column is indexed as well so that we should not need to touch the tables at all to satisfy the query.
Try the query after creating these indexes.
A final suggestion is to try larger sort and hash area sizes and a manual workarea policy.alter session set workarea_size_policy = manual;
alter session set sort_area_size = 2147483647;
alter session set hash_area_size = 2147483647;

How can i save my importing photos in iPhoto but edit in photoshop elements 11?

how can i save my importing photos in iPhoto but edit in photoshop elements 11?

You have two options:
1. Set PSE as your external editor for iphoto and send the photos from iphoto. Save (not Save As) without changing the name or format and iPhoto will remember the original + the last edited version. (To get back to the original you will have to lose the edits, though.)
2. Export the photos from iphoto, work on the copies, make all the changes you want to name and format and then reimport the edited versions to iphoto as new files. This lets you save as many different versions as you like.

Incorrect rotation for imported photos

Greetings,
I just bought a new iMac from a retail Apple Store today, and I wanted to migrate all of my photos from my Windows 7 PC to the iMac. First, I updated all of the software on the iMac to the latest versions. I copied all of the photos (about 4,000) from the PC to a USB thumb drive. I inserted the thumb drive into the iMac. Then I opened iPhoto and imported all of the photos from the thumb drive.
The problem is that many of the imported photos display in iPhoto with the incorrect orientation. They all look correct on the PC.
I can't perceive a pattern as to which photos are rotated correctly and which are rotated incorrectly. My photo collection contains a mix of portrait and landscape photos, and I can find examples of both types which are rotated correct and incorrectly.
If I select one of the incorrectly rotated photos and click File->Reveal in Finder->Original File, interestingly, the thumbnail for the file appears correctly rotated in the folder. If I open the file, it appears incorrectly rotated in the preview. Clicking File->Reveal in Finder->Modified File produces a file with an incorrectly rotated thumbnail.
Because I'm dealing with over 4,000 files, the number of incorrectly rotated photos is in the hundreds, so I really don't want to go through my entire library and manually rotate the bad ones. Any help is much appreciated.

After some experimentation, I think I tracked down the cause:
Today on my PC, I tried running a lossless auto-rotater program on all of the photos. Sure enough, many of the photos that previously appeared to be rotated correctly were rotated incorrectly by the auto-rotater. These incorrectly rotated photos match the incorrectly rotated photos in iPhoto on the Mac. All of the incorrectly rotated photos seemed to be dated from 2007 or earlier. I vaguely recall using some third-party app on an older PC back then that would automatically extract photos from my camera and losslessly auto-rotate them. My suspicion is that this app would rotate the photos without correctly adjusting the orientation component of the EXIF data.
My solution was to browse through all of the photos caught by my auto-rotater and fix them manually. Since they were all from 2007 or older, it wasn't so bad to go through all of them.
Thanks to everyone for the help. You were clearly on the right track.

Advice needed for importing photos from Picasa

Hi, tomorrow I'm helping a friend migrate all his photos from his old Windows PC to his new iMac. I'm not very familiar with Picasa and was hoping someone here would know more about it than I do.
The photos are likely scattered all over his computer so it's not a simple matter of just grabbing a photo directory and moving it to the iMac. I read that Picasa lets you export photos but it also has a backup feature. Does anyone know what the best way would be to gather up all the photos and get them placed into a directory (or rather a series of nested directories) for importing?
Also, if they have entered any photo titles or descriptions in Picasa, will those just get lost? Same with albums, those will be lost too, right?
Thanks!

Hi, I did some research and figured it out, and thought I'd post my results here in case it can help someone else someday.
There are two ways to get photos out of Picasa: Exporting and Backing Up.
If you export photos, they all show up flattened-out in one folder. While this would technically work, the downside is iPhoto will suddenly have thousands of photos added to it and I'm not really sure how it will figure out the events (I didn't try importing into iPhoto yet).
If you use Picasa's Backup feature (Tools->Back up pictures) then all the photos show up with their folder hierarchies preserved. So for example you could end up with a folder containing the following folders and photos.
Vacation Photos
Vacation Photos/Hawaii 2009/
Vacation Photos/Hawaii 2009/pic1.jpg
Vacation Photos/Hawaii 2009/pic2.jpg
Vacation Photos/New York 2008/
Vacation Photos/New York 2008/pic1.jpg
Vacation Photos/New York 2008/pic2.jpg
etc.
From what I've read, if the "Vacation Photos" folder is imported into iPhoto, the folder names will be used as events, so in this example you'll end up with a "Hawaii 2009" event and a "New York 2008" event, which is nice.
As far as Picasa's Backup tool goes, it will create one or more top-level folders with names starting with a dollar sign. These represent the top-level folders containing photos. On the computer I tested this on I ended up with $Desktop, $My Documents, and $My Pictures, because all the photos on this computer were inside of the Desktop, My Documents, and My Pictures folders (and their children).
So in a nutshell, if you want to migrate from Picasa on Windows to iPhoto, just use Picasa's "Back Up Pictures" menu item if you want to preserve the folder hierarchy of your photos. Oh, one last thing: this feature doesn't let you back up to the same hard drive as the photos, so just share a folder on either your Mac or your PC and then back up to that folder.
Hope somebody finds this information useful.

Background for imported photos...

Hello,
I am just curious to know if there is a way of changing the background color for an imported photo. I notice that when I import a photo, the default background color is black. Can this be changed? It would be cool to have a different color background or even better another picture to enchance the photo being shown.
Is this something iMovie is capable of or is it something that can be changed in iPhoto.
THanks

The short answer is no. Black is the default and it cannot be changed. To get rid of the black around your photos, you will need to crop the photos or zoom in enough to eliminate the black. I have found, though, that a lot of my photos need to be viewed as vertical in their entirety. I really don't notice the black because I am more interested in the content of the photo.
You can create color clips from black ones to use a spacers or titles. See iMovie help for the how-to for this.
And, as Bengt said, you could alter the color in Photoshop and then import your new photo with its 'cool' color background!

Using "Preview" for digital photos

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum for this question, but here goes: When I use Preview for viewing digital photos, it works fine for images taken with my Sony Cyber-Shot point-and-shoot, but on photos from my son's Olympus DSLR, I get this Error message: "Preview is unable to properly display this image. The file may be corrupt. Reason: Can't cache image". When I click on OK, the photo does load just fine. The Olympus is setup to take "Fine JPEG" images, not RAW. The photos load fine when using Photoshop Elements, and if I open and save the images in Elements and override the original image, then Preview does not have any problems opening the same JPEG. Is this just the way Preview works, or is there something I can do to prevent the error messages. Are the images from my son's camera too large for Preview to open? For simple viewing of digital photos, I like Preview because it creates a preview mode with thumbnails along the side, much like it does for PDF files. By the way, I'm using Preview on both my iMac and my wife's iBook, both running OSX 10.3.9. Both have 1gig RAM. I get the error message in Preview on both computers. Thank you for any input.

Hey Dan,
You might try going to preferences and in Images
Default image scale
Pick: Scale large images to fit display and nothing else
Then in PDF set to scale: 50%
After you do this QUIT Preview so the changes will take effect.
I use Preview a lot, but there are times when another image viewer is needed
and I suggest you take a look at ACDsee. This is Ver. 1.6 which is the one I use with my Panther and it works great.

How to set image size for importing photos from a digital camera

I'm using Iphoto 6 and am a novice user of my new digital camera. The camera is set to HQ image quality. Initially when I imported photos from the camera into IPhoto, the images were very large (over 1 meg) and produced good quality 4X6 prints. Now when I import photos from the same camera still set to HQ image quality, the photos are very small (less than 100 kb) after being imported into IPhoto. I think I must have changed some kind of setting in IPhoto that affects the size of an imported image, but I can't find where that is or how to change it back so that the size is not changed when imported. Can someone please help me with this? Thanks!

Dave, thanks for clarifying Toad's response for me - I was just too ignorant to connect the dots from his responses. As you said, there were 2 versions - 1 in the original folder and 1 in data; the original folder had the photos that were 1 mb. We must have pulled from that folder previously to print photos not realizing they existed in 2 places. So when we found these thumbnail photos, we just thought they were the real thing. Where can you go to learn about the struction and hierarchy of the photos in terms of what Iphoto does to an image when you import it? Is it in Iphoto help somewhere? Thanks so much for your help with this, and you too Toad for leading me down the path.
If you're getting the size from Finder, I think Old
Toad's question makes a lot of sense. Is the file
you're looking at, somewhere in a folder called
"Data" in iPhoto Library? That 56k sounds about the
right size for a thumbnail.
If you do a search for the image name, both the
actual photo and the small thumbnail are stored with
the same image, e.g. abc.jpg
