No thumbnails in browser/no pictures either in some folders

I tried using the photos<regenerate thumbnails with no luck. I had recently transferrred the aperture library to this new iMac after updating to Aperture 3. I notice a small red flag in the upper right corner of the dashed outline where the thumbnail would be after I used the regenerate cmd.

Hello Rod,
Do you see the badge above or the little red flag?
The badge above means, "The referenced image’s master is offline", which would explain a lot.
If your master files are on a drive that is not connected to your iMac, then Aperture cannot render previews and thumbnails, for it would need the master files.
I had recently transferred the aperture library to this new iMac after updating to Aperture 3
Can you tell us more about how your Aperture Library was set up (referenced or managed) before you migrated to your new iMac and how you did migrate? Maybe you lost your master image files somewhere on the road during migration.

Léonie

Thumbnail in browser doesnot match the pic in the view for many of my photo

I have noticed today after having loaded my library and several project with photo's 2500 or so that several thumbnails when high lighted actual bring up a differnet image. ( i.e. the thumbnail image does not match the image in the work screen area.) what is happening? i take it is a file name problem but i cannot get the correct thumbnail to match work area and the thumbnail in browser will not appear in work area to work on.

I have had the same problem with A 1.5.3 and OS X 10.4.9 - the problem started when I moved some pictures from one project to another, then it suddenly switched thumbs on a series of pictures. They simply showed each others thumbs while the image was the opposite. I "fixed" it by making adjustments to each image and then undo. Then the thumbs were updated correctly. This has to be a bug in Aperture.

Recently, when I create a new album (untitled), it immediately fills with picture either from the album above it or, if I have a Faces collection open, with the pictures from that collection. Why and how do I fix it?

When a new album is created it will fill with whatever is in the right hand window, If you're in the Events or Photos mode it will contain all photos in the library. Yes, strange behavior.

Getting error message "Unable to Share" when trying to send pictures either by text or emai! Is there something in my security settings that I need to change?

I am unable to send pictures either by text or email. I will get an error message that states "Unable to Share". Just purchased the iPhone 6 plus. Never had this issue with the 5. Is there something that I need to change in my settings?

Adobe Illustrator CS5 does not show PDF thumbnails when browsing

When I am browsing through PDF files to open one of them in Adobe Illustrator CS5 it does not show the thumbnail. When I am browsing in Adobe Acrobat it does show the thumbnails. If I have Adobe Acrobat open and am browsing through files and the thumbnails are showing then if I open Adobe Illustrator and browse for a file the thumbnail does show up.
How can I get Illustrator to always show the PDF thumbnails. I have to frequently browse through thousands of PDF files and it is imperative that I can see the thumbnail for these PDF files. I primarily use Illustrator to edit PDF files.
The computer is Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit edition. Thumbnails barely work when browsing files through Explorer. Some thumbnails will show, but not very many of them and it is extremely slow to load the thumbnails that will display.

Bob,
So I am assuming you are talking about viewing the files using this method first:
To use the 32-bit version of Windows Explorer, follow these steps:
Click Start, click Run, type the following in the Open box, and then click OK:
Drive_Letter:\windows\syswow64\explorer.exe /separate
Note The placeholder Drive_Letter represents the drive where the x64-based version of Windows is installed.
Please let me know if I am missing what you are saying here.

Why I can't browse my pictures folder?

Hello,
I have this problem with latest iPhoto software 9.2.2, but I think I had it with previous versions too.
When I try to browse my Pictures folder from the finder (or when I try to browse it to upload something on the web), I can't see picctures but only the iPhoto library icon.
Please see the attached pic for better understanding.
Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Thanks

You can browse the Pictures Folder, in fact that's just what the screenshot is showing.
You can't browse the iPhoto Library from the Finder. It's not supported and never has been.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.    3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Running a presentation via VGA out with Firefox/Safari open. When I hit 'esc' to come out of slideshow, monitor stated resolution too low. Now Safari and Firefox browsers are still open, but I can't see the browser window on either. Ideas?

If you use Lion, go to Applications/ Mission Control and, if you have more Desktops, as attached, it means you have more, and you must select the one you need for a certain app. If default settings has not changed, this is Control with left / right arrow
If in Snow Leopard and earlier, you have these settings in System Preferences only. In Lion, you also have some settings in Sys Prefs.

The auto functions under Enhance all turn pictures either red or black. How Do I Fix These Auto commands?

The auto functions under the Enhance tool all turn the picture either all black or all red. How can I fix this so I can use the "Auto" functions under the Enhance tool.

Without more info like version of photoshop or photoshop elements, operating system, color mode of the image, etc, i'd say to check the Auto Color Correction Options>Target Colors.
Make an Levels adjustment layer and in photoshop select Auto Options or in Photoshop Elements Alt or Option click on the Auto button
The default colors are
(click on the color chips to change)
Shadows RGB 0,0,0
Midtones RGB 128,128,128
Highlights RGB 255,255,255

Proplems syncing some folders of pictures to iPhone

I have several folders of pictures sync'd to my iPhone and all is good there but there are couple of folders that just will not sync. I check them and "apply" but after the sync some folders just do not show up on the phone. I have tried unchecking, syncing and repeating the process. I have plenty of space on the iphone so that is not an issue either. Any help would be much appreciated.

Selected Folders will only appear if you have sub-folders created under the folder that is selected to be synced.
e.g. You have a AAAA folder with sub-folders BBBB, CCCC, DDDD, EEEE within folder AAAA. So if you have selected AAAA folder to be synced then choose All Folders. All photos under AAAA, BBBB, CCCC, DDDD, EEEE will be synced over to your Device and you will have BBBB, CCCC, DDDD, EEEE appeared as albums on your Devices.
If you have chosen Selected Folders, then BBBB, CCCC, DDDD, EEEE will appear under it to allow you to select one or more of these folders to be synced.
There is no option for you to select folders all over your hard drive to be synced,
Hope the above explains.

Pictures from various event folders mistakenly merged to one event folder.

In trying to move 15 photos to iMovie, I did a sellect all and went to move the photos. When I realized I was dragging all 5,000+ photos, I moved the mouse back to iphoto. This action moved all 5,000+ photos from their made event pholders into one event folder. I saw the spinning wheel and forced a quit in hoping that would stop the merge. Upon reopening iphoto, all my photos were now in this one event. Is there a way to get my photos back to the individual events? Would Time Machine help? because I have backups, or do I have to accept the painsaking job of creating individual folder events and move all 5,000+ photos. Signed, What was I thinking to use a shortcut????

Were your events based on capture dates? Then you could use the "autosplit" command to split the event again.
From the main menu bar: Events > Autosplit Selected Events
This will split your merged events into smaller events again, based on the time time you set in the Preferences.
See: iPhoto '11: Merge or split Events - Support - Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2362?viewlocale=en_US
But if you invested a lot of time into naming your events and setting attributes for them, you might prefer to restore your iPhoto Library from the backups. If you have a TimeMachine backup, open TimeMachine, dive back into the TimeTunnel while browsing your "Pictures" folder, and then restore your iPhotoLibrary.

Did you perform a Firefox Reset either by clicking the button on the Help > Troubleshooting Information page or via the Safe mode start window?
You may have gotten the Safe Mode start window as the result of not being able to start Firefox more than once after crashes.

Firefox 15+ versions will move the old profile folder to an "Old Firefox Data-##" folder on the Desktop that gets a number appended if you use reset more than once, so you can no longer use the profile manager to revert to the old profile.

Hi. After loading a picture into Photoshop some of the menu tools are greyed out and I cannot use the keyboard short cuts, for instance I cannot use Ctrl + T for free transform, how do I resolve this problem. In addition the tool Icons are so small I have to get close to the screen to see them, is there anyway the Icons can be made bigger without reducing the resolution of the screen.
Thanks
Derek

Are you working on a background layer? If so, Ctrl + T will not work. Press Alt and double-click your background layer to convert to a normal layer (or right-click BG layer and select Layer from Background) and try again.
If you're working in Photoshop CC 2014 you can go to Preferences > Experimental Features and tick "Scale UI 200% for high-density displays" to make your buttons and icons larger.

picture size...in putting together a book I can move photos onto a page and enlarge the picture but is there a way to reduce the picture size? some cases I want a smaller picture and if I change the size of the picture box I only get a portion of the image. I want to reduce the image to fit the size of the box.

If you right click on the image on the page in the context menu select photo box alignment and then select one of scale to fit {centered, Left-aligned, Right-aligned}
That should do what you are loking for.

Color loss in thumbnails and browser

I'm running CS3 on my iMac and for some reason my pictures are very vibrant when opened w/ cs3 or Preview, but as a thumbnail and viewed through browser they are very flat and lose color. Originally these pictures were taken in RAW and edited w/ a 16 bit color depth; however, when I saved them for export (Adobe RGB 1998 - 8bit) I'm losing color somehow. They look great while in photoshop, but my intentions are to post them online which appears to be diff settings than they actually are. Are my embedded color setting wrong? Why would they look different in Preview then they would in Safari?
Sincerely,
So confused

>i never had this issue until i switched to mac and upgraded to cs3. >
Probably because your monitor was properly calibrated before to Gamma 2.2 and was close to sRGB?
Re calibrate your monitor; either use Save for Web or convert to sRGB before saving your JPEGs for web-use; and re-read the FAQ as well as the other threads on the same subject on this page so that you understand why what you are currently doing is wrong.
Also, study the advice here:
