PDF icon images appear on desktop, but not in folders?

I just updated to Windows 7. Before the update I could only view pdf icons on the desktop and inside folders would be a screenshot pdf icon image of the file. This was very helpful when using a lot of pdf files.
NOW, after installing Windows 7, I have the exact opposite. I can see PDF image icons on my desktop, but when I go into a folder, I get the standard Adobe pdf red-white icon (no image).
Has anyone experienced this? Ive googled this and Im not the only one with this problem. Has anyone found a fix for this?
Thanks
Update: I forgot to add that PowerPoint files, jpegs and bmp files still work and you can still see the preview images. Just not PDFs.

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

What happens if you open an older PDF in Acrobat and do a "save as"? Does the icon come back?
graffiti - thanks for the reply. I did as you suggested but it didnt work. Now some icons are showing up but I dont know why nor do I know if this is a adobe issue or a windows 7 issues. While googling it looks like each side is blaming the other. Here is a screen shot. Some icons appear and one does not. I opened it and re-saved it but still doesnt show a thumbnail.

IPod appears on desktop but not in iTunes

When I connect my iPod clickwheel (via Firewire or USB) to my MacBook Pro (OS X 10.5.7) it mounts on the desktop and I can open it as a disk volume; but iTunes (8.2) doesn't see it at all. iTunes does see my iPhone. Restarting makes no difference. Disconnecting and reconnecting also makes no difference.
Any ideas?

Hey there,
Have you had a chance to look at this Apple support document relating to this issue? If not, check it out. Hope it helps.

Pod classic 160 appears on desktop but not in iTunes

My new iPod Classic 160 appears on my desktop but not in iTunes. I have the latest version of iTunes installed (and reinstalled (twice)). When I first launch iTunes I get the warning that my iPod is using (old) usb 1 port to connect to my G4 (my beloved G4). This is correct, it is, I can live with slow sync. Anyway, I want to restore my iPod but iTunes freezes (crashes) after giving me his error message:
'The iPod "Mark Carter's iPod" cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (-1302).'
Then I have to force quit iTunes,etc.
Also, I was listening t music on iPod but then it just seemed to disappear? Can still see albums/songs/artwork etc. but won't play track just skips through them.

Image Appears in Browser, but not DreamWeaver

I inserted an image into my HTML page, but a gray icon (that looks like a torn page) appears instead of the image in both Live View and Design View.
However, when I open the page in a browser, or I test it on a browser through DreamWeaver, the image appears as it should.
How can I fix this and have the image display normally in DreamWeaver? I need to see it in order to map hotspots on it for a roll-over map.
Thanks in advance!

First check to see if the image is saved as RGB and not CMYK color space. Check the images size as if its big Dreameaver may not show it. I mean is it 3mb or 300k Also check that the image has been inserted into the Dreamweaver page as 'document' relative rather than 'site root' relative which you can choose when inserting the image.
Failing that if it shows in the browser then link us into the page and I'm sure someone will be able to detemine why its not showing in Dreamwaever

6th gen nano appears on desktop but not in itunes

6th gen nano appears on desktop when I plug it in, but not in itunes. I've never set my ipod to disk mode. It never did this before, why all of a sudden? Having the same problem when I plug my girlfriends nano into my computer too. Any advice? Both my OS and iTunes are at the most up to date versions.
Thanks, Matt

Thanks for the response... that still didn't work for me but this latest iTunes update seems to have fixed the problem!

Scanned images appear in iPhoto but not in iMovie

Hi I’ve seen similar problems posted here but no resolution. Here is the issue. We have a lot of images that have been scanned into iPhoto with an HP all-in-one. They all are jpeg and all show up nice in iPhoto and move to iPhoto slide shows fine. However, none of the scanned images appear in iMovie. If I go to the HP folder they are initially scanned into, then open, and save as a TIFF, then move to iPhoto I can then see the image in iMovie. Is there another (less time consuming) way to do this? Could this an HP problem or is it iMovie (since iPhoto works fine).

I had this exact same issue, and for me the problem was that although the files were jpegs, when I scanned them in, they were missing the actual .jpg as a part of the file name extension. I went into the original files and added the .jpg extension and viola, they all appeared perfectly in iMovie. Test this on a few photos and see if it fixes your problem?

Ipod shuffle appearing on desktop but not in itunes?

Hi I have a second generation ipod shuffle, which when connected appears on my imac desktop. It automatically opens itunes but does not appear in itunes. I have used the disk utility to repair it, checked for updates, reset the shuffle yet to no avail... any suggestions please would be greatly appreciated

OK, I restarted the powerbook with the ipod plugged into the computer. Previously I had been plugging the iPod into an active computer. And lo and behold it is now recognized by iTunes. I'm not marking the Question as answered, because it may not work next time.

Shuffle appears on desktop but not in itunes

My shuffle appears on the desktop, it appears in system profile but it does not appear in itunes. I have done reset, retry, restart. I could not do reinstall or restore since both of those steps require itunes to recognize the shuffle.

Did you try the Reset Utility?

Images Appear On iWeb But Not In Published Website

As I'm working on a website page in iWeb 08, the images on one particular page are clearly visible yet when I publish the site, the images are gone and only appear on the page as little question marks. HELP!!!

Hi Elizabeth,
I'm experiencing the same problem at the moment... However my hypothesis are:
The photos might have names that are causing the problem (not internet compatible, thus using special characters or whatever) you could try to rename with something like 123.jpg put them back in iWeb and republish. The names may also be too long.
Or the might be in a particular non-standard format... What's the extension of the files? .tiff? .jpg? other?
Other possibility would be that they aren't publishing to the server (which would be the biggest problem I think)
Regards,
Cédric

IPhoto images appear as thumbnails but not full images

Trying to e-mail images, using either drag-and-drop or copy/paste shows a warning triangle in iPhoto or an empty file in the e-mail.
Some images are OK.
Has there been a problem when iPhoto amends the library after an upgrade?
I'm running the latest version 9.5.1.
If I need to replace images using TimeMachine, how far do I need to go back please?
Thanks in anticipation...
g.

What happened directly before this problem occured? Was it directly after upgraded to iPhoto 9.5.1? Did you move your iPhoto library? Delete photos using the Finder? Where is your iPhoto library located?
warning triangle in iPhoto or an empty file in the e-mail.
This idicates that iPhoto has lost the connection between the thumbnails in the Browser and the original image files. The originals may be missing.
Too late Thry to rebuild your iPhoto library with the First Aid Tools, or, if even that will not succeed, with iPhoto Library Manager.
The procedure is described here by Old Toad:

It appears what happened is the installer though it was looking at a empty drive and just went ahead and installed.
I of course am assuming here you didn't use Disk Utility to format the drive first before installing, that would wipe out your files and programs for sure.
So what to do, what to do.
Well there is hope for you as long as the drive wasn't Filevaulted.
I'll explain. When a hard drive writes data for the first time to a drive, it starts at the very top and works it's way down.
When OS X was installed the first time, it was at the top of the drive, unless you upgraded then the upgraded OS X could have been written elsewhere.
Now when you just reinstalled OS X, the new OS went on the top of the drive, overwriting any data that was there previously, so what was there you have lost forever which is about 8GB or so. If it was the previous OS there, then your more in luck because only the old OS X was overwritten.
The remaining space on the drive still can have a copy of your files, provided it's not overwritten yet.
It's because when a hard drive deletes data or reformats, it doesn't remove the data off the drive or overwrites it immediately, it's just made so it's SPACE is available for new files to be written there.
So technically one can recover the deleted data off a non-encrypted/scrubbed hard drive with special software.
The way it does this is it reads the 1's and 0's of the files themselves, and through a lot of figuring out, can tell what that file is and what it belongs too.
So what you will have to do is this:
Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
or if you don't have the skills, then take it to a local PC/Mac tech and they can do a direct image of the drive and then you can run Data Rescue on it to rebuild your files.

Hard drives appear on desktop, but are inaccessible

Hi.
I recently bought a 17' macbook pro 2.6. I previously had a g4 with four hard drives in it, so I took a couple of them out and put them in external cases. I also have a few external hard drives that were always externals (never in the g4).
The problem I have is that I cannot access one of the formerly internal hard drives. It appears in disk utility and I verified it and there was a minor repair needed (I forget what), so I used the repair function and nothing has changed. The drive icon appears on the desktop, but not under "devices" in the finder window. When I double click on the drive on the desktop, any open finder windows disappear for a few seconds, then reappear, but the drive does not open.
The same thing happens about half of the time with another external drive that was always an external drive. The strange thing is that, even if I can't open the drive, iTunes can access the music files and library on that drive. These drives work fine on my wife's macbook (2.16, running 10.4).
And as if that weren't strange enough, about half of the times that I select "documents" from the "places" menu in the finder window, the same thing happens (finder windows disappear for a few seconds and the documents folder doesn't open), yet I can access my documents folder through my home folder.
The other drive I pulled from my g4 is currently my time machine drive and has no similar problems. Two other external drives also have no problems.
Does this ring any bells?
Thanks,
Bruce

Iso image playing in windows, but not in mac

torrent site for the iso image is:
http://isohunt.com/torrent_details/119383481/ccie?tab=summary#.UGby8mg1FFI
it's a cisco network concept tutorial, it is playing on a windows laptop on windows xp, vista or 7.
I understand that wmv player cannot be played in mac osx, there is a suggestion to run either wine or flip4mac
wine, i am so sorry to be a pain but I get keep getting error messages during installation and it is not successful.
flip4mac I was able to install but I can't seem to make the iso work,
it mounts perfectly displaying 3 files:
autorun.inf
files
index.hta
clicking index.hta will display the website with all the lessons on the left side, click on it and it will play the video on the website, it works on windows but I can't seem to make it work in Safari.
I tried Opera, the website seems to appear but not all of the words, when I click for the lessons on the left side, it only opens an opera browser on a black blank browser.
Please help since I have just shifted to Mac this month, I tried Mac because I believe I can run GNS3 better in it.
Pardon for my MAC ignorance,
from your MAC noob.

It reformatted itself? I've never heard of that before.
Like I said earlier, if the iPod is Windows formatted it should work on a Mac because Macs are capable of handling FAT32 files. If it's Mac formatted it won't work on Windows without the aid of 3rd party add on software.
I'm still puzzled as to whether or not you need to sync the iPod to iTunes on both Mac and Windows computers.
Have you seen these?
iPod doesn't appear in iTunes or on the Mac desktop.
iPod does not appear in iPod Updater or iTunes in Mac OS X.
