Preview Images Missing/All Images Missing

Hi - My understanding is that even if an image is offline - AP3 will still generate a preview of it. I have countless projects - whose file names, ratings and tags are intact, but the images and oreviews of those images are gone. Nothing there - just a black box.
How to I get them back?
Thanks

Hi - My understanding is that even if an image is offline - AP3 will still generate a preview of it.
Aperture will only create a preview if you enabled the generation of previews in the Aperture Preferences (in the "Previews" tab). And previews have to be generated, before the originals are taken offline - the originals are necessary to render the previews.
What happened, before your images went black? Did Aperture crash or something? Did you install new software?
What is your Aperture version, and where is your Aperture library stored?
If your Previews and original image files are still in the Aperture library, you should be seeing them inside your Aperture library package, if you select the Aperture library in the Finder and ctrl-click it. Then select "Show Package Contents". There should be folders "Masters" and "Previews" with the image files inside - organized in subfolders according to import date.

Can I delete all of the images in "All Images" without losing any originals?

Can I delete all of the images in "All Images" without losing any original photos? Thank you.

Simply: iPhoto is a database. Like all databases it requires that you manipulat the data via the tools provided and not through backdoors. If you delete matter managed by iPhoto (or for that matter, any database) through some other means then the database will be unaware of the deletions. The database will not reflect the changes and you'll have significant issues going forward with iPhoto.
So, to be really, really clear: if you delete Photos managed by iPhoto via the All Images search you will corrupt your Library.
It's your computer, your images and your iPhoto. You have the information, you decide how to use it.

Missing all images in Lightroom (deleted images showing)

Working in Lightroom and it was extremely slow.
I did a "force quit" (on my Mac) on Lightroom 2 (Guessing that wasn't the thing to do) All my current images in Lightroom are gone and and old version with photos that I've permanently deleted showed up...though there is a message on each photos that says that the image is "offline or missing" (which makes sense because they've long been deleted).
Any suggestions or ways to look for my current photos.
(Fortunately current images are backed up on my hard drive)
Thanks!

It sounds as if your LR is using an old catalog(ue). It's unlikely that you've lost your images, you are just seing the old images previews that are part of an old catalog(ue). Can you not find the later catalog(ue) and open that or, if not, restore from a LR backup.

IPhoto Missing All Images

Showing some pics to my family yesterday, IPhoto seemed to be working fine. There was a notice pop up something about refreshing my thumbnails or something like that. I choose not now, a poof all 5K images, including all events were gone. What the heck did I do? How can I recover all my photos?

Run the three fixes below in order as needed:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select all options.
2 - rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - 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
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos.
3 - start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your original library as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Open the library package like this.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open Photo window
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.

Help (LR3)! Catalog missing all image files

In LR3 (using Windows 7):
Suddenly, none of my image files are linked to the catalog; 14,000+ of them. The catalog is on an external hard drive, backed up on my internal hard drive. The catalog seems intact. The most recent image files are on my internal hard drive, but most are on an external hard drive. All drives are connected and I can navigate to any file that I want. But the catalog can't find the files, even though nothing has moved. When I click 'find missing files,' 14,000+ question-marked previews appear. None are linked to the image files.
Additionally, when I 'locate' a group of missing files on the proper drive, through the Library module, then suddenly those images vanish from the previews and the number of images in the catalog (the number in parentheses) is diminished by that number. I'm at a complete loss.
Background: I hadn't used LR for a few days. I recently installed Google Earth and apparently along with it a number of other applications that I didn't want. So I went to my Administrator tools and 'restored' my system to a previous state, from just three days ago. I've 'restored' before with no ill effects. It was after that, when I opened LR, the catalog/image disconnect was apparent. I don't know if that disconnect existed prior to my 'Restore' or if it might have been triggered by it.
Any ideas?

It turns out that -- somehow -- the letter assigned to the external hard drive got changed. Once I changed it back (as Administrator), all was well with the world again. (Just needed to do a little extra housekeeping.)
Aside: How the heck does something like that happen, that a drive changes letters?

Missing All Images

Phone lost battery... when fully recharged, all my pics, but one, were missing. any way to get them back? VCAST says it can't recognize the phone (always) primary computer is Mac OS 10.6.6 tried on Win XP at work too, but neither seem to recognize the Droid Incredible, so all pics have never been backed up. now are they gone for good?

Hello raison00,
Sorry to hear about your pictures. If the pictures weren't on a memory card prior to the battery drain, then they can't be recovered from the device memory.

How can I make Preview open to actual size for all images?

In Snow Leopard, Preview open all images actual size. In Mountain Lion, vertical images (and all images larger than the screen) fit to the screen and I have to use the keyboard command to see actual size. What happened, and is there any way to fix this?

Open a PDF in Preview. Now, right-click on the toolbar and select Customize Toolbar ...
Drag the circled items from the customize panel to your toolbar and release there.
Click the middle button in the Zoom panel. The Scale will report 100%.
Your future Preview documents will open at 100% now.

"Load All Images" appears on the bottom of the email and not on top

Why "This message contains unloaded images" "Load All Images" link appears on the bottom of the email in iOS Mail and not on top when opening email?
Is that a mistake or it was put there on purpose?
Does anybody know why?
To scroll down any email to turn on images is a hassle for those who keep images loading option off because of data usage airtime download and spam email.

If you have tried restart, reset, restore:

Then make an appointment at the Genius Bar. if it is defective, then they will replace.

I'm using FF 5 and tried using the block all images feature. It blocks all images, but also blocks all the images on sites I've specified NOT to block. Any way to fix this?

When I examine the page info it lists it as unblocked/allowed for images, but it's still not showing any. It's ignoring any exceptions I list.
Macbook Pro 3,1, Leopard 10.5.8

You do not specify whether to block or show a specific image.<br />
You specify a domain when you block an image and all images from that domain are blocked.<br />
You can't use this to block a specific image.
You can look at Adblock Plus.

You need to subscribe to a Filter list (e.g. the EasyList).

Missing "load all images" in Mail iOS6

Hello,
I missing the option "load all images" in Mail of iOS 6. I use iPod Touch 32 GB 4. generation.

Help, When I upload my website all image links are missing!

Hello, new dreamweaver cs5 user here. When I preview on firefox everything looks great! After uploading all image files are missing. www.cityrevealed.com

There are still plenty of images attempting to be loaded from a folder level above the Root:
<img src="../images/header2.jpg" width="960" height="226" border="0"
are you sure there is an "images" folder in the root?
http://www.cityrevealed.com/images/
Typically attempting to look at the index file of a folder level will return "Access Prohibited" or actually reveal the file and sub folder structure with that folder level... but trying to directly access the "images" folder returns page not found. While I realize there may not be any index page there... I would normally be getting "Access Prohibited".
You may have made changes but are you sure they have ALL been uploaded to the server?
Are you uploading via DreamWeaver or an FTP program?
How are you verifying that the server folder structure is exactly the same as your local machine?

AI file import/open all images missing

I'm using FW CS6 to build a mockup of a website for my university course. I've completed the first part by designing the idea in Illustrator CS6 and using Fireworks to turn it into the interactive PDF.
The preview file/opening the design in AI has all images and everything we want, so the images are holding their links properly.
When I open this file in Fireworks to build the web part of the design, none of the images are showing up.
How do I get the photos to be visible from the AI file?

Embedding is what I needed, now how do I link all of my pages together?
When I use slice or hotspot and link the pages accordingly, anything outside of home.html says "file does not exist"
How do I resolve that?

Illustrator CC opens file showing missing embedded images. Illustrator 5.1 opens same file fine with no missing images.

How do I get CC to open these files correctly? Is the client saving them incorrectly?
My work around has now become a pain & I need to know why Illustrator CC tells me most/all embedded images are missing in files received by clients.
Illustrator 5.1 opens the files ok & gives me no errors. It does a few funky things because ti says the file was produced with a new version. The file previews fine in the Finder window & shows all images. The issue with opening them in 5.1 is it wants to open 1 page at a time like the AI file is a PDF.
Why is CC failing to recognize the embedded images? Are the images not embedded correctly by the client? Is 5.1 pulling from some lower res version of the images? Files export from 5.1 as hires. Stumped.
Oh my gosh why arent they just using InDesign. : (

Please get informed about how Illustrator saves files and what exactly is in a file and how it is re-opened.
See: http://rwillustrator.blogspot.de/2006/11/whats-in-file.html
When in Illustrator CS5, Illustrator actually opens the PDF part of the file that contains all the images. Always.
When in Illustrator CC, Illustrator accesses the AI part of the file, which doesn't necessarily contain the images.
