Previews not loading in grid view (stacks) 10.6.3

Hi, I am having a rather odd bug with stacks: everything works just dandy (previews load) unless I look at a certain folder. If I navigate to the folder (in stack view) it will load maybe 80% of the item previews and then just stop (it loads different ones each time). After I have done this, no preview for anything will load other than folder icons (in stacks, that is), unless I log-out log-in or restart. I have tested this many times, and it is consistent. Cover flow still works, even after stack previews have stopped appearing. An annoyance really, but I still would like to fix it if possible, so thanks in advance for any ideas.

That's the point to where I was getting - without icon previews, the default icon for .m4v files should be the following:
(This was just taken from my wife's MacBook Pro, still on iTunes 10.6.2 but running Snow Leopard 10.6.8)
Under Lion (10.7.4) and iTunes 10.6.3, the default icon (no previews) is empty white, which I do not believe should be - I had the above generic icon for .m4v files in Lion under 10.6.2.
Yet iTunes-associated audio files are fine: (from my iMac)
Strange, isn't it??

Movie thumbnail previews in Coverflow and Grid view...not there

I'm using Snow Leopard and have both QT-X and QT 7 Pro on my MacBook Pro.
In Finder, I have a folder containing several movie types including mpeg, avi, mov, qt, m4v, mp4, flv and wmv
I've noticed that I don't see thumbnail previews for any of these movies and wondered if anybody else can see their thumbnails, either in Grid View or Coverflow
In 3-column view, the thumbail appears once the file is highlighted.
In iTunes, the thumbnail also appears (for those that can be added to the Library)
I also have the latest Perian and Flip4Mac apps installed.
I've tried re-launching Finder after deleting the com.apple.quicklook.plist file
Thanks

I also tried this (deleting the Quicklook cache) and no luck, still the same issue.
I did a clean installation and this works
However, I did again the installation and imported my USER profile in FULL via the assistant when you first configured Snow Leopard (using an FULL BACKUP copy and/or Time Machine Backup) and then problem reappears
I have reinstalled DivX, Desinstalled RealPlayer deinstalled Perian and still the same issue. I cannot see the Thumbnails or the Cover Flow of the video/movie file such MPG, MPG, AVI, WMV but it works for MP4 I have for my IPod
I finally gave up and left this last installation and I did not have the energy to migrate my data, emails, settngs, etc manually.
By the way, the upgrade from Leopard 10.5.8 towards Snow Leopard 10.6 was smooth but the performance was awful specially after installing 10.6.1. With the upgrade I had the same issue with my USER account or with any, NO THUMBSNAILs for most of my videos enough though they are played correctly in Quicktime and Quicklook....
Any help????

File name not showing in grid view

I just upgraded to LR 5.4 and I noticed that now when I am in grid view, only the capture date and dimensions show on the image when I run my cursor over it. I used to get a quick pop-up with the file name, capture date & dimensions, so I can quickly see where I am in my numbering system. I have looked at the preferences and also in view, but it is not apparent to me where it went, plus I know I didn't change anything, intentionally.
BTW, I also upgraded to Mavericks OS on my iMac, but I hope that is not what is wrong. I know Adobe put out a bunch of "patches" for Bridge, etc. but I have already downloaded and updated all that.

When you are in Library module/Grid mode, the text that appears in the hovering action is controlled by the Info Overlay. The Info Overlay has three states: Off, Info 1 and Info 2.
Go to View>Loupe Overlay and put a check mark next to the Overlay you wish to be active and your hovering enabled text will change to match that text.

My site will not load in design view?

I can not figure this out for the life of me but I am hoping someone here can give me a simple solution. I have spent endless hours trying to figure out why my site will not load when attempting to open any of the template or html files of my local site in design view. They open fine in Code view but when I click on design view, I get an hour glass that only goes away if I close dreamweaver using ctrl + alt + delete and use the task manager to close the process. My web address is www.thebluedot.net if that helps...
Any web pages outside of my actual site open fine so I am not sure what is causing the issue with my site itself? I have opened the template and have deleted all the code from it and attempted to view the file in design view and still get the same problem. Is there perhaps something simple that I am overlooking? My site worked fine in design view several days ago and I can not think of any changes that I made that may be causing the problem. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the entire adobe suite and I am still having the issue.
I am running on Windows Vista and have 4 gigs of ram and a 2.6 Core Duo processor if that helps.
Please help me out here. Really would appreciate any help you can provide!

Really appreciate your response.
I am using Dreamweaver CS4 and I tried deleting the config folder. Still no luck...
Eerything opens fine except for files fom my site. I have deleted the site from Manage Sites and recreated it but still am having the same problem.
When I delete the Configuration folder do I have to reset it up some how? Why is dreamweaver rendering all my other files outside of my site folder successfully in desgn view and not giving any other files an issue? I really hope I can get this resolved soon.
Again, appreciate your help.

Some images not selectable in grid view

Have recently installed Lightroom 5.6 on my Mac after deciding to ditch Apple Aperture. I have an issue where certain images are not selectable or do not highlight when moving the mouse pointer over them in grid view in the library module. The images have been imported only once direct from the camera & there is no issue selecting them in the filmstrip or accessing them in the Finder. I've found other posts with users experiencing similar issues but no one has offered an answer

Um, I can't seem to find it on the server, which can't be a good sign ) - :
Have no idea why it's not appearing where it should but if I can get a link to work I'll send it to you.
Thanks for your help

Rating / Label "Buttons" active, although not shown in Grid View

While I was investigating the reason for JPEG images being written back with no obvious changes applied to them (see also How to filter on Metadata Status "Has been changed"?) I noticed something I think is a bug:
Becaus it sometimes happened to me that I unintentially changed the rating for a picture because I wanted to click into the frame of an image to select it as the only image, I have set my Library View Options as follows for Compact Cell Extras (for a better description also see Grid View: Flags, Rating, Color Label read only? / Mark Images Read only?):
Index Number checked
Top Label checked with File Name
Rotation unchecked
Bottom Label unchecked with Rating and Label
Now, if I click into the area, where rating or color label would show (if shown), the rating of the images changes. So I am clicking on an option I don't even see ...
This was one of the reasons, why metadata in pictures sometimes would get updated without me knowing why. Anybody else who has experienced this behaviour?

P.S: My workaround now is to have Common Photo Settings shown in the bottom label.

Yes it's a bug. I see it on Mac platform.

Scroll Bar not functioning in Grid View with All Photographs selected

LR 4.3 on Windows 7
I can scroll through a bunch of photos while in grid view with the right side slider when I am looking at a folder with 15,000 images or less, but when I click the All Photographs, there is no little slider button. The slider tray is visible, but no button to drag. The catalog has 180,000 images now. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I tried using a text search within my All Photographs which brought up 71,000 images. The slider showed up fine with that many images.
M. Jackson

Okay, I will answer my own question in case anyone else sees the problem.
When I am viewing my large catalog with only three thumbnails across in LR, I lose the little button to slide up and down. When I change Grid View to show four or more thumbnails, the button reappears. I'd suggest this is a bug needing fixing.

Graphics will not load for map view error: Could not find default.styleproto in framework

Hey there,
I am trying to load a mapview using Mapkit and everything was working a week ago. When I got the update for 4.5 for xcode all of a sudden the mapview would not load properly. It seems to pin point on my location properly but there is no graphics. I have made sure that my .mapType is set properly and I have looked at all the other settings. Also a project that uses mapview on another computer gets the same problem I am getting, it seems I have lost this file "default.styleproto" from somewhere.
If it helps, I had problems with my first download of xcode, I had two versions some how running on my computer so I ran a command line script to erase everything to do with xcode so I could download a new copy and start from fresh. It seemed to have deleted my "developer" folder for my apps.
Thanks in advance

I had the same problem and the map wouldn't work at all. The files should be in the folder
~/Library/Application Support/iPhone Simulator/[6.0 and above]/Library/Caches/GeoServices/Resources
In my case I had 3 styleproto files in there including [email protected] which I duplicated and renamed to default.styleproto. Now the map works but all the icons are @2x size, which is very annoying. I thought of using the default.styleproto file from a different computer but it didn't have it either.
Any real solution to this?

Oam elements not loading upon initial viewing

I'm making a fun little intracompany website here: http://start-pacific.appspot.com.
I designed it in Muse, using buttons from Edge Animate.
When the page loads the first time after a completely clear cache, (a seemingly random) two or three buttons on the top will stay stuck at the preloader "down" stage, and will stay like that until the user refreshes the page. I don't want my users to have to figure out that they need to refresh the page to do this. Is there some page attribute I can enable to force the buttons to finish loading?
I put the .oam files on the page with the File> Place function.

Ok, so I have some developments. When the page loads, a successfully loaded element will look like the following in the HTML of Firebug:
<head>
<meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type">
<meta content="IE=Edge" http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible">
<title>Untitled</title>
<script src="edge_includes/jquery-1.7.1.min.js">
<script src="edge_includes/edge.2.0.0.min.js">
<script src="GmailAnimated_edge.js">
<script src="GmailAnimated_edgeActions.js">
<script src="GmailAnimated_edgePreload.js" charset="utf-8" type="text/javascript">
<style>
</head>
And here's what the unsuccessfully loaded code looks like:
<head>
<meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type">
<meta content="IE=Edge" http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible">
<title>Untitled</title>
<script src="edge_includes/jquery-1.7.1.min.js">
<script src="directoryAnimated_edgePreload.js" charset="utf-8" type="text/javascript">
<style>
</head>
They are configured the exact same way (except one is named "directoryAnimated" and one is named "gmailAnimated"). You'll notice that the second item just doesn't load a few lines of code, breaking the element.
Why is the site not loading all the code upon the initial visit?

Items visible in PDF Preview not visible in Design View

Hello-
I used the auto create function to turn an existing PDF info a fill-in able PDF. Auto create "auto detects" form fields, including in some areas of the form that are not fields at all (blank areas, etc.). I go into Design View and remove any extra fields. However, I've discovered there are some fill-inable fields visible in PDF Preview and in the actual PDF itself (once saved) that are not visible at all in Design View- thus I can't click on them and delete them- they just aren't visible in that view. I've read the forums and it seems the opposite problem is more common, in which something shows in Design View but does not show in PDF Preview or in the final PDF.
Any guidance on what's going on? Next steps? I'm not a coder, so the simpler the better. Thanks to anyone with suggestions.

All the fields on your form are listed in the Hierarchy which is generally on the left-hand side of your screen. In there you should be able to go through each field and delete the ones you don't need.

Previews not loading

I have pictures on an external hard drive that are imported into my catalogue. One folder ( out of many) when called up do not show previews when in Libary. If I choose develop, the pictures appears and so does the preview. When I try to backup , I get an error message that my preview cache is having a problem. All other folders have good previews.

WW's solution likely won't work. The Camera Raw Cache only affects what happens in the Develop Module.
Have you tried selecting all images in that folder (grid mode, Ctrl-A) and choosing the "Library->Previews->Render Standard-Sized Previews" menu item? I'd try that first.
If that doesn't work, you'll need to delete your previews.
In the same directory as your Lightroom catalogue, there is a folder whose name ends in ".lrdat". Rename this folder, go into Lightroom and select the "Library->Previews->Render Standard-Sized Previews" menu item. Tell it to render them for all photos. If you have a large library, this may take quite a while, but you should have your previews back at the end.

Photoshop files locking up Finder (preview not loading) and empty photoshop files... 18mb!

Hi all,
We've been having some problems with all of our Photoshop files recently. It seems to be a problem that's been duplicated throughout during the design progression.
When using finder to navigate through our design folders, it often locks up for 5 - 10 seconds per file while finder tries to load the preview thumbnails (and fails, showing just the psd icon). I checked compatibility was checked on save as. I also checked the colour profile was being embedded. On some files it wasn't so I checked this, but still having the same slowdown.
As a test I then deleted all the layers in the doc, saved it again - and even though the file only had one blank layer - it was 18mb in size!
I then made a new document of the same resolution, saved it - and boom. 120kb or so and preview works fine.
I then opened one of the problem PSD's with all the layers - dragged them over to a new document of the same size, saved it - and the file and preview in finder works fine.
Obviously there's something of around 18mb in weight in all of our old files that is causing a real issue with finder and previews. Other than layers (as there are none) - what could it be? We're using a mix of cs6 / cc and cc 2014.
Any help on this would be appreciated!

OK, that means that the Finder is having problems with that folder. That could be due to corrupt disk data structures, or you could be hitting some of the known (and not yet fixed) bugs in MacOS's Finder related to thumbnails and metadata parsing.
As for file size - other metadata (especially image history, and sometimes color profiles) can really add to the file size.

Previews not displaying in split view in Aperture

Recently Aperture has stopped displaying previews for a number of photos (but strangely not all) when in split view. If I switch to browser view the previews are all there, and if I then return to split view they are back to being displayed. But if I move to another project and then return to the first they are gone again. I have repaired the Aperture database with no change, but not yet rebuilt it. This change in behaviour was not concurrent with an Aperture update. However there have been lots of updates affecting 10.8.2 since the most recent version of Aperture. Any thoughts?
Thanks,

Preview/Crop Updates in Grid view

Due to the performance hit, I have the auto update XMP feature turned off.
I recently imported a batch of 400+ photos and made changes to white
balance, cropping and other settings. The images are DNG files. Every time I
switch back to the folder containing these images LR takes a while to read
and update the previews in grid mode to match the changes I have made. This
is slowing me down.
I have tried selecting all the photos and instructing LR to update the XMP
data, but it doesn't appear to work. Is there another setting or something
that I am missing?
Thanks

I have the same issue. I thought 1.2 had solved the slowww Grid mode preview creation until I went back to a folder of roughly 400 images and worked on them in Develop, cropping many and color balancing all. Now, back in Grid, my preview thumbnails are low, low res. I optimized the catalog, came back and selected all and told LR to render standard previews. That was roughly three minutes ago and the progress bar is about 1/10th complete. Even when the Rendering Standard Previews progess bar shows an image finished, the image thumbnail is not sharpened. Each image appears to be taking several minutes, but the progress bar may not be accurate. It has been 7 minutes so far and very little progress has occurred. This is on a Mac Pro with 8gigs of RAM and 4 internal hd's, none of which are overly full.
I left LR 1.1 because of this kind of behavior.
I really like LR but this slow behavior makes it unworkable.

Lion Mail preview not loading / showing emails

After upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion, the new Mail program is not working correctly.
It appears many of my messages (in the inbox, sent, drafts) only have the email address and header, and don't have any text in the actual email....so in the preview pane, it just says loading....and nothing loads. I have seen others postings similar problems online. I've tried some of the solutions, none worked.
I can send and received new emails - and they show up fine in the preview pane.
All the emails in mailboxes I've created On My Mac in mail are fine.
How do I get all my emails in the inbox, drafts and sent to show up correctly?
Any suggestions would be most appreciated. Thanks!

Hi DreamsPower:
I did not have any luck with the rebuild mailbox command, or other solutions posted online, so this is what I did to restore my missing mail:
1) run time machine so I have a backup of my current Lion Mail programs data.
2) deleted all the messages (inbox, drafts, sent, etc.) that would not show anything in preview window. Since I had sent and received a number of emails after installing Lion....and these new emails showed up fine in preview, so I did not delete them.
3) opened up time machine backup to a date just before I did the Lion upgrade, and then restored the Mail programs data folder (users>library>mail) to my desktop. This gives me a copy of the Mail program data files (all my emails) before the Lion System/Mail upgrade. Then opened the appropriate mailbox subfolder folder (from the restored mail folder on my desktop), such as the inbox, and then opened the messages folder or folders in the inbox (there may be several and they may be buried in numbered folders). The message folder(s) will have your emails (the emails will have numbers for names). Then I just option dragged (copied) the email messages and dropped them in my Lion Mail programs inbox, and now my inbox has all my missing messages. Did the same for the drafts and sent emails. So now I have all my mail and they show up when previewed. Since the messages in my other mailboxes were fine, I did not need to delete and replace them.
Hope this makes sense.....
