PSE 11 Organiser wont display thumbnails only egg timer icons ?

I have been using PSE 11 for about 6 months with no problems, however, yesterday the prog froze and I had to switch off and re-boot. Now all new uploads are displayed in the organiser as egg timer icons. These will open, but only one at a time when double clicked on. I am on Windows 7. I have uninstalled PSE 11 and re-installed but the problem persists. I have uploaded a very small jpeg and got the same resuilts, which seems to rule out a RAW problem. Any ideas ?

Hi,
Please try right clicking the thumbnails and choosing Update Thumbnail?
If this doesn't help, please try refreshing thumbnail cache as explianed here-http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop-elements/kb/troubleshoot-catalog-issues-organizer-element s.html
If none of this works, please follow the answer of the thread-http://forums.adobe.com/message/4734171

Catalogue in PSE 5 wont show thumbnail

When importing a new photo into Organizer or editing
an existing photo, only the 'hourglass' icon shows
in the catalogue.
If I double click on the 'hourglass' in the catalogue
to view the image alone, the image does appear.
I think I have enough memory.
Is there a fix for this?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I suggest that you right click on one of those thumbnails and then choose UpdateThumbnail. then post back here with the results.
Now I am not sure if that Update Thumbnail will solve the problem immediately but even if it does not it will be useful troubleshooting.
Also suggest that you
-- identify what version of Windows you are running.
-- for the thumbnail on which you do the Update Thumbnail, post the pixel resolution of the photo file. If you select that photo and look in the Properties box yu will see a size and next to it will be additional numbers like 3333 x 4444 it is those numbers either side of that "x " that I want to see.
-- post how much RAM memory you do have.

How do I get the iMac to display thumbnails and not an icon of jpeg photos?

Hi folks,
I just purchased my first Mac, an Imac. I was browsing through a folder, using Finder, containing photos files from my latest trip.
Under Windows, I used to tell Windows Explorer to show thumbnails of the photos.
How do I get the iMac and Finder to show the thumbnails? It only wants to show a silly jpg icon which doesn't tell me much about what the photo looks like.
Thanks.

That was quick!
I have a folder of JPEG photos on my HD. This folder was created over a year ago when I was using Panther.
When I open it and select "Show View Options" I get a different window with options like "Date Created" and "Date Modified" etc.
There is no preview option or a slider to alter the icon sizes - merely a choice of large or small icons.

I just replaced the hard drive for my Mac Pro, and I am trying to restore what is on my Time Capsule, but it wont connect, and only is giving me the pinwheel of death. What do i do?

I just replaced the hard drive for my Mac Pro, and I am trying to restore what is on my Time Capsule, but it wont connect, and only is giving me the pinwheel of death. What do i do?

You will need to boot from some alternate boot device to accomplish this, if you did not initialize the drive before installing it.
If you have another Mac, you may be able to use FireWire target disk mode.
If your MacBook has a DVD reader and you have a Mac OS X Installer/Utilities DVD, such as the one that shipped with it, you can boot from that DVD, answer only the "what Language" question, and wait a quarter minute for the MenuBar to be drawn. Then examine the Utilities menu or the Installer menu and Find Disk Utility.

Why is PS 6 showing hourglass/egg timer rather than thumbnails in the organizer?

I have uploaded some pictures using Photoshop Elements 6 and they usually show up as thumbnails. They are showing as an hourglass/egg timer instead. All previously uploaded pictures are still showing as thumbnails. How do I correct this problem? BTW - in the lower left hand corner of the organizer - it does not say "generating" thumbnails. I have also tried right clicking the thumbnail, then update thumbnail, but this does not work. I can, however, view the pictures is full screen mode.

Value only one time displayed

Hello all,
one question: I have a report region. In one column a value is several times among each other. What can I do, the same values display only one time?
Thanks a lot!
Regards
Daniel

Daniel,
Not sure if I have exactly understood your question but are you talking about Break Formatting? So that a report will display like:
CATEGORY | PRODUCT
Computer - Monitor
- Keyboard
- Mouse
Car - Wheel
- Engine
- Gears
instead of:
Computer - Monitor
Computer - Keyboard
Computer - Mouse
Car - Wheel
Car - Engine
Car - Gears
If so, you'll want to investigate Break Formatting in your Report Attributes or look in the Help for more details on this.
Sorry if that's not what you meant...

CS4 bridge displays jpegs thumbnails only

CS4 bridge displays jpegs thumbnails only
Can someone who may have seen this problem or experienced a silimilar issue explain what is happening to CS4 bridge. I just installed PC version of CS4 photophop. It appears that in bridge, only jpegs thumnails will display. Tiffs and PSD files only show up as icons. Also the file association menu seems to have disappeared. Now if I log in as administrator , everything works properly. All thumbnails display correctly, assoication menu appears and bridge will update fine. Does anyone have an idea of what is happening here??
Joel F

Did this happen recently, or has it always worked this way? If this is a new occurance some file may be corrupted and your best bet would be to reset Bridge. You can do that by holding down Crtl and starting Bridge. A reset window will appear, choose all 3 options.
One other point. If you are using Vista and an external drive there can be persissoning problems, but this does not seem like it should be one.

IPhoto6 - after a full reistall of Snow Leopard, iphoto does not display thumbnails. I've restored from time machine, rebuilt the library and run through the rebuild thumbnails function with no success. The files are there, I just get a dotted outline.

iPhoto6 on iMac running SL - after a full reistall of Snow Leopard, iphoto does not display thumbnails. I've restored the library from time machine, rebuilt the library from iPhoto and run through the rebuild thumbnails function with no success. The files are there, I just get a dotted outline instead of the thumbnails. Does anyone have any other ideas on how to restore the thumbnails?

Try the following:
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 but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Want to get PSE organiser 11 to recognise duplicates at import

I have recently acquired a macbook pro with mountain lion and bought photoshop elements because I am familiar with the windows version (older). (I want to keep the photos i download in folders i can see, not embedded in iPhoto).
The first batch of photos i downloaded from my iphone with iphoto and then imported into photoshop organiser without a problem.
But for subsequent batches i tried to download directly using import>from camera or card reader, and saving in a named folder within Pictures (and in subfolders according to date). This was fine the FIRST time I did it, but now it does not recognise any photos IMPORTED THROUGH ELEMENTS ORGANISER as duplicates. So every time I download photos from the iphone it duplicates them in my folders.....that is....all EXCEPT the ones that I originally imported from iPhoto.
It correctly recognises these as duplicates and allows me to deselect them before import. But NOT so, for the ones downloaded directly using Elements organiser.
I theorised that Elements organiser is changing the metadata files when it imports and subsequently not recognising the original ones it detects on my phone as the same image. So I experimented with choosing 'none' instead of 'basic metadata' as metadata template, and experimented with checking the option to 'preserve current name in XMP' but it did not make any difference and continued to not recognise duplicates (but ONLY those imported directly from the phone bypassing iphoto) no matter which Elements Organiser options were used when the image was downloaded for the first time. (The size of the file was 1-2kb bigger when 'none' instead of 'basic metadata' was used for the original, though.)
THE MAIN REASON I BOUGHT PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS INSTEAD OF USING IPHOTO WAS SO I COULD SAVE MY IMAGES IN MY OWN FOLDER STRUCTURE.
But if I cant do this without either duplicating everything each time i import, OR having to mentally keep track of all the previously imported photos and manually select only the new ones (and run the risk of missing some), then it is unwieldy and a waste of money.
And there seem to be a lot of people with this problem on other threads and not all using macs. this seems like a very basic problem and surely should be fixed by the developers?????
LATER....
I have just discovered the SAME THING HAPPENS with my Panasonic Lumix DMC-T27. Files that are already imported are not recognised as duplicates when I take another photo and then try to import just the last photo. PSE organiser wants to import the whole card again. So far I have only tried it once with the metadata options set for "preserve current name in XMP" and "none" for metadata template (as opposed to Basic Metadata template).
I did notice in the info section for the duplicated images that the duplicates have different times. The 'Date Created' under "file properties" for each of the duplicates (.JPG, -1.JPG, -2.JPG -3.JPG) increases by what looks like the time it was added by the organiser.
Does this mean that PSE organiser is modifying the 'Date Created' info to match the time imported and then at next import it is using the modified "date Created" time to check for duplicates?? Of course they are all seen as new files if this is the case!! Can this bug be fixed if it is a bug?? (This would fit with the iphoto ones being recognised correctly as duplicates because the original files for these are still stored in iphoto and haven't been downloaded or modified when saved via PSE organiser.)
I have taken screen shots of an example that was imported 4 times using different options as above and the 'Date created' increases for all of them regardless of the options i fiddled with as mentioned above. I can email them to anyone who thinks it would help solve the issue.
I may be barking up the wrong tree with all of this, but any help or hope of a future fix would be much appreciated,
Thanks
Kerrie

I have had this problem of duplicate imports and used the following work around.
In the photo downloader, do not select any option that will in any way change the photo's name or metadata when it is imported. If there is any difference between the previous import and the file still on the camera, the downloader will not recognize them as duplicates and will import the camera file, yet again. In short, select "Do not rename files." "Advanced Options" should all be blank except the leave-pictures-on-camera selection. "Apply Metadata" should have only "Basic Metadata" selected with all other options blank.
Of course, one still has the previously imported "altered" files on the PC or Mac even if future duplicate imports from the camera stop. Solving this is simply laborious and time consuming. Import the photos, yet again, using the settings described above. Then use PSE to identify duplicate photos and, one-by-one, delete all duplicates from the catalog and hard drive except for the most recent import, which should in all respects be identical to the file still on the camera.
This worked for me. Hope it helps you.

Under Snow Leopard my web browsers no longer display thumbnails.

Since installing Snow Leopard neither Safari not Firefox display thumbnails on certain web sites. The most notable being Google picture search. Everything works fine except the thumbnails are empty white rectangles. If I click on an empty thumbnail I will get taken to an image which displays fine. The problem is thumbnails and thumbnails only.
I downloaded Googles own Chrome and even it can't display thumbnails on a Google picture search. The problem exists also on many other picture sites such as Getty images, but not, for example, on Wikemedia. It happens in all browsers - all of which are completely up to date as is my OS X 10.6.2. My video cards and monitors are all Standard Mac issue from Apple and the drivers supplied by Apple as part of the OS.
In all this confusion the one thing that is absolutely 100% certain is that the problem started from the moment I first powered up Snow Leopard. Of that there is NO doubt. Before then there was never any problem. I am a graphics professional and constantly need to picture search. For the time being I have had to dust off my old G4 and use it as a picture search machine and then network the downloads across to the Mac Pro. That is hardly satisfactory.
Has anyone any suggestions for this bizarre problem? I have done a mass of web search and have found no reference to anything similar.
Getting rather desperate after months of this ...... :o((

Well lepkitty I can report success. My browser is now thumb-nailing faster than ever before.
Problem solved!! You get a gold star!!
In case others with the same problem stumble on this thread here is the solution. I am no techie so It will be simple .......
Problem:
Safari, or any other OS X browser doesn't thumbnail Google (and many other) picture searches but hangs forever loading the thumbnails leaving empty white rectangles on the screen. Google maps don't zoom, pan or update. The problem is unique to Snow Leopard.
Cause:
When OS X and Safari (or other OS X browsers) perform certain operations, of which picture searching is one, they speed things up my making multiple simultaneous connections to the host. Rather than loading the thumbnail images one by one they will make multiple connections, to say Google image, and pull down multiple thumbnails simultaneously. Leopard makes up to eight simultaneous connections at a time. Snow Leopard, however, can make as many as sixteen.
This where the trouble starts. Many router's firewalls interpret too many simultaneous requests as a "SYN flood" (This is a form of malicious attack using multiple simultaneous connections. If you really need to know - more here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SYN_flood) It seems quite a lot router's firewalls set the simultaneous connection threshold at 10. My Phillips did and Belkins do too. Any attempt to create more connections than this will be treated as malicious and will be blocked by the router.
Solution:
The solution is to change your router's firewall settings. Every router is different so these directions are rather generic. The precise menus, and wording will change from one to another but, trust me, I am no techie, it's really not difficult .... this isn't going to be rocket science ......
Here is what you do:
You access your router by entering "http://192.168.1.1" in your browsers address box. You will be asked for a user name and password. You should find the default setting for these in your router's manual. (On most it is "admin","admin")
Once in your router's menu you need to look for firewall settings. You may need to look for "Advanced" settings first and then look for "Firewall".
Once you have found the firewall menu you need to look for "SPI and Anti-DOS" (On my router it's inside a menu called "Intrusion Detection")
On the SPI Anti-Dos page you should find a list of options that you can set.
Among these should be the option to change the number of simultaneous connections. On my router it is called "Maximum incomplete TCP/UDP sessions number from same host". It will probably be set to 10. Raise this to 20 and then click OK, Save, Confirm or whatever your router's menu asks for, to confirm and save the new setting.
That's it! Done and dusted. This has not only fixed the problem on my browser but it has given a real and noticeable boost to all my browsing.
So let's hope the earth moves for you too ..... ;o))
... and a huge vote of thanks to lepkitty for pointing me at this.

.NRW files not displaying thumbnails in Bridge

.NRW RAW files from Nikon P7800 do not display thumbnails or metadata in Bridge. PsCC, Bridge and CR 8.3 are all showing as up to date on CC Desktop App. Files display correctly in Lr 5.3. Any suggestions ?

I have:
PhotoshopCC>Edit>Preferences>CameraRaw>8.3.0.141
BridgeCC>Edit>CameraRawPreferences>8.2.0.94
The computer found 6 files named Camera Raw.8bi. They are in pairs , two in the CS5 folder and two in the CS6 folder, two in the CC folder. One of each pair has >Program Files(x86)> The other one has >Program Files>.
When I go to C:\ Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CC\File Formats\ only one (Camera Raw.8bi) file shows. This was created on 18 March 2013 and modified on 3 December 2013.
If I go to C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CC\File Formats\ another (Camera Raw.8bi) file appears, created and modified same date and time as the first one.
Is this making any sense ? Thanks for your help.
It appears Bridge is using CR 8.2, the question is why and how do I persuade it to preference CR 8.3
By the way, I failed to mention it previously CR is converting and editing the NRW files normally, I just can't see their thumbnails in Bridge.

Bridge CS3 won't display thumbnails and locks up

Running a Mac G5 Dual 2gHz processors with OS 10.4.11 and 4GB ram...
I started today working with images on an internal drive and all was well until I selected an older external drive. Bridge vers. 2.0.0.975 would not display thumbnails on the older drives and stopped functioning altogether when selecting a different folder or any menu item.
Reinstalled Photoshop and Bridge and folders/thumbs from internal drive still displayed just fine, but still would not display on external drives. Ever since I tried holding down the option key when restarting Bridge, the the problem has spread to the internal drive and now those images will not display.
And yes, I did try upgrading to Bridge 2.1.1.9, but that update never worked at all for me.
I gotta vent here. Bridge CS3 has been a consistent headache from the first day of purchase. Since Bridge CS3 has never worked properly, how can I justify the purchase of Photoshop CS4 upgrade?

Hey Jim
Good it worked, seem to remember that there have been problems with some users and the auto update feature from Adobe?
Whenever I used Bridge CS3 for a week or 6 to 8 (I also work with it a lot and and also large amount of files) trouble was coming up and I just delete the plist and cache file and restarted with option to refresh prefs. I don't use the cache for archive purpose and usual work with one main folder. After finished I move the files to specific folders without caching those so after deleting cache I only need to recache a few folders and was able to work flawlessly for a certain period.
I must say that Bridge CS4 is more stable and is working also very nice and again better compared to the prior version.
For system maintenance I use Disk Warrior every now and then but Cocktail on a daily basis, scheduled automatically after an also time scheduled auto start up of system and some apps. Cocktail is cheap and easy, :-)

Is there some secret to getting Pentax K-3 .dng files to display thumbnails when importing to an iPad (mini w/retina)? Files import fine, but no thumbnail. Mac OS has compatability with those files.

Is there some secret to getting Pentax K-3 .dng files to display thumbnails when importing to an iPad (mini w/retina)? Files import fine, but no thumbnail. Mac OS had compatibility with those files added long ago. Am I missing something?

I agree Terrance. However, I was able to copy other large batches of other files (my music for example) without any issues. The issue only showed up when copying iPhoto's library and/or the photos themselves. This was repeated 3 times; I copied all my other files to the drive then it unmounted on iPhoto. And, as I said, again when I started with a fresh reformat and just iPhoto. That does not seem like hardware to me if it is only happening with one set of files.
I have managed to get the iPhoto library to work on my other external drive. It wanted a rebuild twice and a thumbnail rebuild once. I am now attempting to copy it over to the new HGST internal drive.
Anyone have a suggestion for alternatives to iPhoto? I have aperture, maybe I will try that. But from what I understand, it just shares the same library as iPhoto.
