Previews missing

I have LR 5.7.
Some weeks ago it stopped creating previews upon import It will not let me build them either. All I get is grey boxes in the Library middle. In Develop it will only show 3 previews in any one folder at a time
I have tried re-installing, deleting cache. Deleting lr.cat preview file and many other things.
Any advice would be welcome.

What do you mean with "In Develop it will only show 3 previews ..."? Develop shows only one photo. Do you see a photo in develop to work on?
What is ypour OS?
If you see only gray boxes, your moitor profile could be corrupt. For the purpose of checking this, select the default sRGB System profile and see if this helps.

  • Previews missing from Canon Raw Files

    On the last few imports from both Nikon D800 .nef files and Canon .cr2 files the previews are missing.  The machine is a
    Mac Pro Tower
    2.66Ghz with 8gig Ram Plenty of HD space  Running 10.6.8   Adobe Photoshop CS6 All updates for both adobe products and Mac OS have been installed.   Camera Raw is upto date.
    So when using the camera downloader in bridge the files down load fine.  Then when you navigate to the folder to look at the files all you have is the white icon of the file type not the Jpeg preview.   I   have reset Bridge, emptyed it folder as well as main cach and this still happens.    So my question is how do I fix this?  
    Thanks

  • Previews missing at catalog and drive level.  Unable to use filters at this level.  Missing folders.

    Using LR4 (not 4.1) and Win7 Home Premium. 
    Catalog had been upgraded from LR3 and  LR4 catalog was working fine until now. I've been using LR since the begining.
    Two problems, probably related.  106K photos over two drives, almost 3Tb.
    At the catalog level, there are no previews.  Normally previews of all 106K photos would be displayed. Message is "Click the "import" button to begin."  Filter function does not work Message:  "No photos match the filter"
    At the drive level, there are no previews.  Message is "No photos in selected folder" Filter function does not work Message:  "No photos match the filter"
    At the folder level, everything is fine, except two folders give the same message "No photos in selected folder"  Filter function does not work in these two folders: Message:  "No photos match the filter"  14K photos between the two bad folders 
    Dozens, hundreds, of other folders and subfolders are fine. Filter function works fine at folder and subfolder level.
    Collections are fine, including photos in the two folders giving the mesage "No photos in selected folder"
    What I've done:
    uninstalled and reinstalled LR4 twice. 
    Downloaded and installed clean LR4.
    Same problems
    Tried to import the missing folders.  Won't import because they're already in the catalog.  Won't import even if I uncheck "Don't import suspected duplicates"
    Exported as a catalog one of the "No photos in selected folder" folders.  It appeared to create a viable catalog with previews, search filters, etc.  I edited a few photos with no problems.  Although it did give a message saying several hundred previews were missing.  But they seem to be there anyway.
    Deleted the folder from the catalog and imported from catalog the working folder catalog that I just created.
    Same problems.
    Exported as a catalog  the other "No photos in selected folder" folder.  Same result as the first bad folder.  I.e. It appeared to create a viable catalog with previews, search filters, etc.  Although it did give a message saying several hundred previews were missing.  But they seem to be there anyway.
    Haven't done anything with this second folder catalog.  Intriguing, the same message about missing previews.
    The actual files and *.xmp files are in the bad folders.
    Now what?

    Discovered a thread in this forum.  Known problem solved by 4.1 beta.  Upgraded to LR4.1 and problem solved. 

  • Some Aperture Previews Missing in Mail Chooser

    I am running Aperture 3.2.3 with the current version of Lion. Tonight I wanted to e-mail some pictures via the Mail app. In the photo chooser in the Mail app, however, not all of the Aperture previews show up. For the particular project from which I wanted choose the pictures to send, some, but not all previews appear in the chooser. The missing previews were neither the first, nor the last, pictures added to the project. In Aperture preferences, "always" share with iLife and iWork is checked. Any idea why some pictures, but not all, would show up in the mail photo chooser?

    I have the same problem, failing to receive pdf attachments intermittently using Mail 5.2 running OS X 10.7.3 (Lion), and not being counted among the attachments
    Two times where I'm aware it happened, the sender had replied and included the attachments I had sent in my original message, and I'm wondering if those attachments somehow led to their own attachments not displaying and not even being counted in the e-mail window.  "3 Attachments, 317 KB" displayed, but those were my three; clicking the "Save" drop-down menu listed only those 3 attachments of mine.  In one case, I had them resend their attachments as a new e-mail, and that worked.  Their 2 attachments totalled 941 KB, so Mail missed rather a lot by displaying just 317 KB.

  • Preview - missing TOC

    I apologize if this has been posted before, but I couldn't find anything with search.
    I downloaded a huge PDF file and, as is my habit, right clicked and selected "Open with Preview". Everything was great until I did a SAVE AS (with defaults). Then the Table of Contents disappeared; even the button to show it was gone. I tried quitting Preview and reopening the file. Same deal, no TOC. Acrobat was the same. Saving the page right from Safari and then using Preview to open it works ok; the TOC appears normally. What am I missing?
    Here's the URL, but be warned it's huge!
    http://www.unna.org/unna/apple/documentation/developer/ProgrammersGuideOS2.0.pdf
    iMac 17   Mac OS X (10.4.2)   Preview Version 3.0.8 (409)

    Let's cut the BS.
    ***THIS IS A BUG.****
    The reason very few people report it is that 99.99% of the victims never realised it happened. If you download a pdf it is stored in /tmp and opens by default in Preview. You then immediately do a 'Save as' if you want to keep it. That destroys the TOC if there is one. The user does not notice because they never knew there was a TOC! Hence no bug reports.
    I only noticed because I pulled down a 13MB 2500 page document which took a significant time to process and I watched the TOC vanish in front of my eyes.
    I have wondered for months why very few of my downloaded pdfs seemed to have TOCs. Now I know why.
    I have reproduced this on two different machines, a PowerMac G5 and a MacBook Pro Core Duo. It is a rock solid reproducible bug.

  • Preview missing -  no menubar clock - System Prefs won't open....help!

    Wow. Preview is missing (it shows up in the Application window as a zero K app, then when I click on it, it vanishes), all the Preview docs I had on my desktop are neutral icons ( just a white rectangle), and also my menubar clock is gone. System Preferences won't open. Help! I've tried repairing permissions but that's as far as I know what to do. Thanks, Chris

    Wow, I feel a tiny bit proud of myself. And actually, Disk Warrior eventually helped,in a circuitous way. I reloaded the Combo Update for 10.3.9, that seemed to rejuvenate Preview. But still no System Prefs, no menubar clock. I right-clicked on System Preferences ( that
    right-click or option-click is really useful sometimes, because it can open
    packages and other single-icon deals that you can't see into otherwise - I
    really recommend a 2-button mouse, I was resistant to it after 20 years of Mac-ing but the 2 buttons combined
    with a scroll wheel is way better than the Apple mouse and the Dell mouse
    is about 10 bucks on eBay)... once that was cracked, there was a Terminal
    icon which I clicked on... wwhich indicated that there was a
    pref file it couldn't find. When I searched for it with Find, there it was
    in the 'REscued Items" folder from DiskWarrior. Dropped it in where the
    Terminal readout indicated it was missing, and voila! A restart, and I
    have System Prefs again and a menubar clock. The only thing still FU is
    that shift-3 isn't working to get a snapshot of the screen so in order to
    generate a PDF from the screen I have to use Grab and finagle there. I
    have a feeling, though, that I'll find a way to fix it now. And as you
    know, sometimes these things weirdly self-correct after a while, a few
    dozen restarts, whatever. At any rate if that's all that I have to contend
    with it's not a big deal. So -= DW helped in the end! Thanks to the respondents on this issue- C

  • Adobe Content Viewer (desktop preview) Missing with latest update (v.8.0.9.23)

    InDesign CS6 just promted me to update my Folio software and now my Adobe Content Viwer is missing.
    When I try to preview a Folio, I get the following error message:
    Has anyone had this problem?

    I deleted the the file recommended by Matt:
    Try closing the app, deleting the following directory to clear the app's saved data, and then restarting:
    Mac:  /Users/{username}/Library/Preferences/com.adobe.dmp.contentviewer
    But the Problem seems rooted in the fact that the APP itself has disappeared from my Applications. I know it use to be there before. Can I download the APP again from Adobe?

  • GTK control previews missing

    I just installed a GTK theme from gnome-looks.org and now whenever I go to System>Preferences>Appearance the Bug Reporting tool pops up asking me to submit a bug report. Then if I try to customize a theme, I find that all the previews under Controls, Window Border, and Icons are missing.
    How might I go about fixing the problem / restoring those? I'd try to delete the theme I just installed, but I can't. Any time I highlight it the window refreshes and move my selection back to the first theme.
    [edit]
    I'd even just be happy to find the absolute path where the themes get stored so that I can manually remove the offending theme.

    Ah, it was ~/.themes.
    Finally, I can open "Appearances" without it complaining at me. Thanks.

  • Content previews missing....

    Hi
    we missing the previews of our content in iBA.
    Is there something we do wrong?
    After we export the iBook they are there.  ??????
    Thanx Andreas

    If you mean the thumbnails at the bottom of your TOC pages....  they do not show in iBA
    Preview in iBooks on your Mac and using the top menu...select "thumbnails" and your content pages show.
    Its all normal, don't worry.

  • Preview missing fonts

    I noticed that a lot of my fonts are missing from the font list in the tools set on preview for maveriks and yosemity? any body knows why is that? one in particular that i know is missing is a .ttf font, might this be the reason or is it the location of the font (/Users/username/Library/Fonts/Font.TTF)?
    It is quite frustrating.

    You could then try to reinstall Preview from the OS X disks. Download Pacifist. Put your OS X install disk in the drive and click the button in Pacifist to "Open Apple Install Disks". Once it's done reading it, or them in, find the Preview application by expanding the folders presented. You are of course looking for the one in the Applications folder.
    Highlight the Preview app and click on the Install button at the upper left. Pacifist will extract, verify and install Preview, replacing the old copy on the hard drive. Eject the OS X disk.
    Keep Pacifist open and do the same with the 10.5.4 Combo update file. If there's an update to Preview, you'll need to install that, too. It will also appear as Preview.app. When you click the Install button in Pacifist, it will tell you that Preview already exists and give you multiple choices. You want to click the "Update" button.
    You can of course get to the same point by performing an Archive and Install, but this will take far less time and only replace the one application.

  • Template preview missing

    When I go to create a new page using one of my templates we used to get a preview of the file in the dialogue box and since the upgrade to CC2014.1 there is no preview at all. There are previews for the Responsive starters - not a big issue but annoying. Is there a fix for this or have I missed something somewhere. Any one have a clue on this please.

    No problem under Windows 8.1

  • Adobe Bridge Image previews missing

    I have 2 digital cameras one is a Fujifilm Fine Pix Pro S3 and the other one is a Nikon D200. The Fuji photo files show image previews in Adobe Bridge (I use Photoshop CS2) but the nikon files only show an icon with NEF displayed. How do I get the image previews? Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    I am using an iMac 27" too and I've faced in with this situation as well as you are, I hve tried several different setting but it feels like it is normal. I've gone trough on Bridge, CC and CC2014 nut they are all the same. If you open on camera raw any raw files you might see similar softness. As soon as you convert to JPG,TIFF, PNG... it will be fine.

  • Icon previews missing on jpegs saved from Safari

    This did not happen in Tiger and Safari 2. I always saw the icon preview of any jpegs dragged from a safari window to, say, the desktop ... now, in Leopard, I get the generic Photoshop symbol (jpegs are pref'd to open in PS). I can only get the icon preview of the image if I resave it in PS.
    It's little thing but, it's frustrating as jpegs from the web usually have generic file names, so the preview comes in very handy for me. Yes, my view options are pref'd for icon preview. Thanks for your hep.

    Hi Tim
    I'm curious why dragging an image from the web to your desktop creates a jpg file with a Photoshop icon. OS X natively assigns this action to Preview. Either you previously changed the jpeg "open with" assignment in either in Leopard or prior to Photoshop, or a 3rd party application did it for you?
    As I posted, if I drag an image from Safari to the desktop, the image icon appears rather than a generic icon. Here's the image file appearing on my desktop:
    Here's a screenshot of that file on the desktop:
    If I open the info panel to that file, this is what I see:
    When you open the info panel, do you see an image in the Preview section or a generic icon?

  • B9180 print preview missing

    I have just upgraded Windows from XP to 7 using the HP downloaded driver. The Print Preview check box no longer appears on the Features or Color tabs. Is this a known bug? Or is there some other explanation? It was always present with the XP driver. OK, I can preview in Photoshop, however, the HP preview is more useful in my opinion.
    Thanks
    Phil
