Placed jpgs are blank

I'm working in Indesign CS5 v7.0.3.
I'm working in multi page document, placing .jpg files into page layouts.
I'm coming across certain .jpg files that won't place into the file. They are jpg files. When I place them into the layout, everything seems to go fine - but the place image is only a tiny little box, and if I zoom in or enlarge the box, it is white/empty. If I drag/scale the image box, I see a ghosted version of the image I've tried to place. But, as soon I quit scaling/dragging, it goes back to being an empty/white box.
I am able to place other jpg images, only some of the jpgs aren't working. I've tried re-saving these jpg images under a new file name and re-saving them as .tifs, but they still won't properly place in the file.
Is there something wrong with the .jpg files? Or is there some sort of setting I'm overlooking when placing the file into indesign?

Sorry, I can't provide a file. I'm working professionally and the project is under a confidentiality agreement.
I would say I'd try to create a new file that demonstrates the same problem - but I can't recreate the problem. The placed jpgs are being provided to me by another designer…
If you can give me a few ideas, I can try to investigate.

  • All of my pics are blank, the outlines are there but the pics are blank. How do I get them to re appear?Ask your question.

    All of my pics are blank. There is an outline but the pics are blank. How can I get them to re appear? and more importantly how did this happen in the first place?

    Move the library back into your Pictures folder and open it.  Then close it and try rebuilding again. 
    Select the options checked in this screenshot:
    If that fails continue with this:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Some Photos are blank after conversion from Aperture

    Library contains 45K photos .. migrated from Aperture.  For some reason a large number of the photos have meta data but are blank.  Where have they gone?

    Partial CLUE ..
    Two photos .. appear to be dupes .. but the case of the file NAME is different.  The UPPERCASE JPG is blank .. the lowercase .jpg is not.
    Ok -- Apple Engineers .. here's a start .. go fix.

  • Some photos in iphoto are missing and there are blank thumbnails which when i try to open them show an exclamation sign

    some photos in iphoto are missing and there are blank thumbnails which when i try to open them show an exclamation sign

    The exclamation make is an indication that iPhoto has broken the file path to the original photo.
    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2

  • Keynote video thumbnails are blank.

    I have placed video clips into my slides, but the tiles are blank. How can I get a thumbnail scene to give me a visual representation of the video I'm about to play?  I've loaded the mp4 files into the library and then synced through the Photos tab in iTunes. I have inserted and sized them with the media option. They play fine, but there is no thumbnail visible on the slide, so I am shooting in the dark. Any suggestions?  Thanks

    Are you trying to view Silverlight or WMV content? If so, you need the appropriate internet plugin: Silverlight or something called "Flip4Mac."

  • Crystal 2008 - Selected table names are blank or end in 1

    I am creating a new report in Crystal 2008.  I am connecting to a database using ODBC.  The tables show up correctly in the available tables column of the Database Expert.  Once I select a table the table shows up in the selected tables list as an icon only - no name or as an icon with a table name ending in 1.  The table name that ends in 1 is not a duplicate.
    Furthermore, in the field explorer the fields all show but I can not add any to the report.
    Any ideas, this just started happening this week.

    Hi Russell
    Which database you are reporting off?
    You can try following workaround and create indirect ODBC connection.
    Create a report using OLEDB connection and select Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC drivers and then create a report .
    This will point to your existing ODBC connection through OLEDB provider.
    For the tables name that are blank do you have hyphen '-' in their names?
    As advised by Jayendra you can try with Service Pack 1for Crysatl Reports 2008.
    Hope this helps..
    Regards

    Do the events from your iPhone calendar appear on icloud.com?  If not, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar (in the Calendars section) and make sure you have selected an iCloud calendar as your default.  If you haven't, make this change, then add a new event on your iPhone calendar and see if appears on icloud.com and your Mac now.

    Yes, it doesn't work. I ran in safe mode. nothing changed. I uninstalled Mozilla firefox with only standard removal, no change. I finally uninstalled Mozilla with complete removal and reinstalled it, then it return to normal. Why does this happen? Thanks for your reply.

  • All text in all email are blank, can't view attachments.

    After last osx update 10.5.6 I noticed a problem with my email. I have 2 email accounts in mail 3.5 The 1st works fine, the 2nd account lost all text in all email in in-box. Also all attachments are blank. I've tried forwarding the email to another account and also printing email but all the text looks as if it has been deleted. I've tried the font color and encoding but no luck. What would cause 20 emails to delete all the message text and blank out the attachments in only one email account?

    update - I did a rebuild mailbox and all email in that problem account diapered. I can only guess that the email got corrupted and the rebuild purge the problem records. They are not in the delete folder either. What would cause one email box to become corrupt?

  • Updated iPad 2 last night.  All movies (9) on my iPad can no longer be viewed.  The movie plays but the photos and scene selection are blank. How do I fix this

    Updated iPad 2 last night.  All movies (9) on my iPad can no longer be viewed.  The movie plays but the photos and scene selection are blank. How do I fix this

    Quit the app and restart the iPad.
    In order to quit or close apps - Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Try the videos app again.

  • PDF's are blank in Preview

    I hope this is an appropriate place to post this question...
    I have come across some PDF files that when opened in Preview are blank. The number of pages will be correct, but each page is blank. I can open these PDF's just fine using Adobe's Acrobat Reader, however I prefer to use Preview for its speed and simplicity. Does anyone have any idea why some PDF's are blank when opened using Preview? I want to note that one of the PDF's that I tried to open recently did not have anything special about (no forms, no extra JavaScript), it was just a plain old PDF. Any ideas?

    A form has to be saved in Preview in order for it to be corrupted, not merely opened. What OS is used when opening a corrupted PDF in Reader/Acrobat doesn't matter.

  • PDF documents are blank but epub documents are not

    Hello All;
    I have an install of ACS 4. Installed on the following.
    Linux version 2.6.28.1-xxxx-std-ipv4-32 ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.3.2 (Debian 4.3.2-1) ) #2 SMP Fri Jan 30 09:55:02 UTC 2009
    I have a production license and I am able to fulfill books - both epub and PDF.
    However, when I attempt to download/view the books in Adobe Digital Editions, the PDF files are blank. I should mention that the PDF files that are blank, are PDFs that I grabbed from public domain sites (archive.org). The epub documents that I grabbed from the same source, work find in Adobe Digital Editions.
    I would also add that the sample books that are included with Adobe Content Server work just fine. So, I am to assume that there is something 'wrong' with the PDFs that I have.
    Anyone see this before? Anyone know where I could look for answers?
    Thanks much.
    Glen

    Digital Editions supports essentially the PDF/A profile (plus some extras see the FAQ at http://www.adobe.com/products/digitaleditions/faq/ for the full list).   The most commonly noticed thing that is missing compared to the current PDF 1.7 spec is JPEG2000 support.
    What happens when you view these files in Digital Editions before your package them?

  • Allowed Pop Up Windows are Blank

    i've only recently encountered this problem in the past month. the sites i know are affected are fanfiction.net and scribophile.com.
    fanfiction.net is using a javascript;; for editing a link in one's profile.
    scribophile.com is using a php to send a private message: http://www.scribophile.com/dashboard/popups/addprivatemessage.php?userid=17380
    in both instances, a new-fangled looking white window pops up. (the fanfiction.net one even resizes itself and has a fancy top border). they are blank, utterly without content. they have a close X in the top corner that does close them. the php one is even blank when i choose to open it in a new tab like a regular page.
    i have adblock plus and noscript. although i have tried turning them off for these particular web sites, the pop up windows still come out blank.
    i have tried these solutions:
    1: disable adblock plus and tell noscript to allow everything on the page(s). this does not work.
    2: run firefox in safe mode. the popup windows then DO work.
    3: i have gone to the firefox options and created exceptions to pop-up blocking for both sites. no joy.
    4: i have gone into the add-on manager and disabled both adblock plus and noscript (but not other add-ons). no joy.
    5: i have, one at a time, disabled every other add-on i have. no joy.
    it appears to me that it is not actually the add-ons that are causing this behavior. although the windows work in firefox in safe mode, the same cannot be said of manually turning off the add-ons in "unsafe" mode.
    is anything else going on in firefox that might be causing this behavior? i don't think it's the pop-up blocker, since the pop-ups DO appear... but no content inside. ugh.

    # 1: disable adblock plus and tell noscript to allow everything on the page(s). this does not work.
    # 2: run firefox in safe mode. the popup windows then DO work.

  • In Illustrator CS4 in Mac OS 10.6.2 my windows are blank

    When I open Illustrator CS4, and open a new or older document, the windows (action, brushes, layers, pathfinder, etc) are blank. If I close and reopen Illustrator I have a 50/50 chance that they will appear. At times I have had to close and reopen numerous times. Any thoughts? No new hardware or programs added since installation of CS4.(I already uninstalled and re-installed)

    Dumping preferences was done. Restarting as you suggested has opened another symptom - I do not get a dialog box and most plugins don't load. I can use the program but with limited features. I have restarted normally for twenty times in a row and the windows are showing. So we shall see.
    Hopefully it will behave itself.
    Thanks,
    jm

  • Jpgs are greyed out in process multiple files.

    Are these photos in iphoto? You can't access the iphoto library directly. Writing into that library from outside iphoto is the fastest way to corrupt it and lose the photos. Export the photos from iphoto and work on the exports. If that's not it, where are these jpegs located?
