Preview Thumbnails in Finder are suddenly not appearing, or very pixelated

OS X 10.4.11
We've had computer for 3 years, this issue appeared one day out of the blue, settings were never changed, updates are performed automatically, Adjusting view options did not work, I read that OnyX may fix it, tried finding OnyX for 10.4.11, can not find it. Could problem be associated with iPhoto?
I'm a photographer and this is disabling my workflow...please help!!!

For now at least, get GraphicConverter gives even more options for displaying icons in it's powerful Browse Folder feature...

I think you should get Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, (+s), then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.

  • HT2311 After waiting 27 minutes while the new iTunes supposedly downloaded onto my computer, the Finder window did not appear, and the iTunes.mpkg icon didn't appear on my desktop (where downloads usually go).  What do I do?

    After waiting 27 minutes while the new iTunes supposedly downloaded onto my computer, the Finder window did not appear, and the iTunes.mpkg icon didn't appear on my desktop (where downloads usually go).  I also looked for the new iTunes by clicking on my Hard Drive icon but didn't see it there either.  I only see the icon for the old iTunes.  What do I do?

    The exclamation mark means that the app has lost the link to the actual file.
    First step: try and make sure the iPhoto Library is working correctly:
    Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
    If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
    Install the App from the App Store.
    Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
    One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
    iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

  • Business area is not appearing in the FBL1N

    Hello Experts,
    Please give me your valuable suggestions for below issue.
    Business area is not appearing for few transactions for particular vendor in TC:  FBL1N, We are using Ecc 6.0. Please advice.
    Thanks,
    Ratnam V

    Please review note  549182  FAQ: Business Area Accounting
    in particular see point  3.
    3.         Question:
    With customer and vendor items, why can you not enter a business area?
    Answer:
    Open items are assigned to business areas depending on the expense and
    revenue items of the invoice.
    Because of this dependency, open items can be assigned to several
    business areas. Thus the assignment is no longer unique. There is a
    function available in the balance sheet adjustment that enables a
    subsequent assignment.
    With a unique dependency, the business area is copied into the open
    items not assigned to a business area during the posting of the
    document.
    Also consider SAP Note 41294 in this context.

  • Rules set in mail are suddenly not working?

    I had my rules set in mail and now they are suddenly not working, what to do to fix?

    I'm having the same problem, but not with all messages. Only a few slip through. However, when I right-click and Apply Rules to individual emails, the rule suddenly works.
    What I'd like to work (and it doesn't), is to be able to select-all emails in inbox and then right-click, Apply Rules. But this never works. AND it'd be must faster than doing it individually. Thx!

  • HT3819 I have turned Home Sharing on on two computers, but the "Shared" area is not appearing on either computer.  What does this mean?  What do I do?  THANKS!

    I have turned Home Sharing on for two computers, but the "Shared" area is not appearing on either computer.  What does this mean?  What do I do?  I am trying to get music from one library into another library to sync with my ipod so that I can have all songs on the ipod from both libraries. 
    Thank you for your help!

    If you have the horizontal menu bar showing (File, Edit, View,...), select View, then select Show Sidebar. 
    If the menu bar is not showing, dorp down the menu in the very upper left corner and select show menu bar, then follow steps above.
    Hope that helps.  Good luck.

  • Graphical Glitches: Objects appear not selected when they are, Symbols not appearing correctly

    I've been having a ton of graphical glitches with Adobe Flash CS6 and I can't for the life of me figure out for the life of me.
    Things that happen:
    Objects will not appear selected when using the Free Transform Tool.
    Symbols don't appar in scene when pasted, or dragged in until I leave the scene or symbol im in. They show up in the preview window though.
    Something else I've been noticing is that when I use the Pen tool my computer or speakers or something making this werid noise and it only happens when I'm using the Pen tool.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    No one has had these issues? I just got another one. My timeline disappeared, I don't mean the menu hid or thats it not there. It's there its just not actually displaying the Timeline or at least it didn't till I wen't back a few changes for some reason. It was still there though as I could click the eye and lock and the layers (which ones I have no idea) it was all grey. Also again the selection area doesn't show up, all movements of symbols are slow to update their postitions and when I turn on outlines it does nothing.
    Also everytime I close Flash I get an error from windows, no idea why.

  • Airport Network Suddenly Not Appearing

    I have 3 Macs and the airport network has suddenly stopped appearing for the eMac. I've turned airport on and off and I've restarted.
    My radio strenght is showing grayed out. It is not a distance issue either because nothing has moved and the eMac worked fine the day before yesterday. The other Macs in the house are fine and can see my network.
    Any suggestions anyone can offer would be most appreciated.

    Hal,
    There have been a number of reports about OS X 10.4.x and Airport connections being lost and/or difficult to reestablish after waking from system sleep, often fixable by turning Airport off and then back on via the menubar icon, but I don't recall any noting loss of connection during normal use. A few possibilities come to mind as starting points for further investigation. What is the WiFi signal strength at the eMac when it does establish a connection? Are there any devices like microwave ovens or 2.4GHz cordless phones located near the eMac? What is the DHCP lease time? When all computers are online, what IP numbers as assigned by the Belkin router do they show?

  • 'Find' function does not appear to work in TextEdit on .txt documents

    Most of the time the 'Find' function on the TextEdit application does not appear to work on .txt documents.  I have verified this by using Find on words that I know are in a document, and it cannot find them.  I've tried different options on the 'Find' function without success.  This appears to have started with version 10.6.8.  Has anyone else had this problem since upgrading to 10.6.8?

    Thanks -- but I swear it worked fine prior to either the 10.6.7 or 10.6.8 updates and now it doesn't.  I'll just keep experimenting and playing around with it and see if I can get it to work.  Maybe the new Lion O.S. coming out will fix it, although I'm not going to rush -- I made the mistake of putting Snow Leopard on right after it came out and had problems with some programs not working properly anymore (like Pro Tools, for example).  Always a good idea to hold off until most of the bugs get fixed. 

  • Field functional area does not appear as an entry field into the document..

    Hi,
    We are using the functional area field in our system. In order to access this field, we proceeded
    to customize the system as follows:
    -  We already activate Cost of Sales Accounting for our Company Code.
    -  The field functional area was set optional through transaction OB41, for the posting keys required.
    -  The field functional area was set optional using transaction OB14, for the field status group assigned to the GL accounts.
    However, we cannot enter the area functional when we are posting documents related to customers and vendors. 
    Although the field functional area was set optional, it does not appear as an entry field into the document screen for the
    different transactions: fb70, fb60, f-02,fb01.  It is only happening when we areentering the document position for the vendor/customer.
    Regards,
    Efrain

    Hi,
    In FB70 or FB60 change the layout ........ select the line item layout configuration, you get a separate Table Settings screen pop up where in you need to select "Administrator"  button the system displays another pop up window where in you can check whether the Functional Area field is checked as invisible if so remove the check mark and active the settings.
    Kind Regards

  • Credit control area field not appearing in XD02

    Hi
    In my ZDOM customer account group, i have made credit control field as mandatory. Hence it appears in sales area data when i create customer (i.e. XD01).
    When i do XD02 (to change credit control area), credit control area is getting hidden. Its not appearing in XD02. Please help

    Hi Meenu,
    You will have to use T code OB20 here in order to make the Credit Control Area field visible in T code XD02.
    The only problem here is that when you make the field Credit Control Area visible in T code XD02 using T code OB20, it will be visible for all account groups, not only for account group ZDOM.
    Please check this out.
    Thanks and Regards,

  • Website suddenly not appearing correctly in Firefox under Windows 7

    I've had a website running for a couple of years now with no problems, but one of my clients sent me an email saying it's not appearing correctly on her system, Windows 7 runnning Firefox v. 15. I am on a MAC and have looked at the site on 4 different browsers and it looks fine, I also installed Firefox (v. 16) on a PC running Windows 7 and it looks fine there. Near as I recall I haven't made any changes to the site's structure, so I'm stumped. The website is http://www.horizonwings.org. Can anyone help? I've attached a couple of screen captures showing what she sees. Thank you.

    I see the same problem as your client in Firefox 16 on Windows 7. To fix the problem, add clear: left to the style for leftColMain
    #leftColMain {
        clear: left;     float: left;
        padding: 30px 0 0;
        position: relative;
        width: 210px;

  • I have over 4000 songs in my Itunes library.  I have 25-30 playlists det up.  I just did a sync on my daugthers itouch and 85% of my playlists dissappeared.  i rebooted my pc....playlists are still not there.  very strange.  advice appreciated

    I have over 4000 songs in my Itunes library.  I have 25-30 playlists set up.  I just did a sync on my daugthers itouch and 85% of my playlists dissappeared.  i rebooted my pc....playlists are still not there. The songs are still in my library.   Very strange.  Any Advice appreciated

    Thanks, Michael.  Itunes Match is not enabled on my daughter's Itouch.  I have subscribed to it and have used the service to back up my song purchases.  I merely did a sync via USB (as normal) to her Itouch.  The sync wiped out 85% of the playlists that were on my home computer for the last seveal years.  I have updated her itouch multiple times - both before and after I had subscribed to iTunes Match.  After the last sync to her iTouch, the playlists just disappeared.   My home computer is the main device I use to manage my Itunes library and my playlists.  I am not sure what happened?
    BTW - how are you affiliated with Apple?  Are you?  I feel like I have explained the issue pretty clearly, but your responses seem to focus on her iTouch and not my computer, where the playlists are managed.  I want to know how to get the playlists back on my computer.
    Thanks for your help.  Rob

  • My External Hard Drive is All of a Sudden Not Appearing in Finder. How Do I Fix This?

    How do I fix this with my LaCie Rugged 500GB external hard drive? I connect to my MacBook Air, via USB 2.0. I have tried other ports and computers, but it still is not recognized by Finder. The USB ports on my computer work, because the drive is recognized in Disk Utility. However, nearly all of the options are unavailable in Disk Utility (see screenshot), and I am unsure as to what I should do.
    Any help is much appreciated!
