RAW Thumbnails don't show in Bridge

I am very new to using Photoshop and Bridge (complete novice); I just took my first Photoshop class this weekend. Have never used either program before the class.
Thumbnails of my .NEF files (Nikon Camera RAW) are not showing up in Bridge. The files are there, there's just no image---it's just a generic icon. JPEG files are fine. They display as thumbnails in the "thumbnail view" just like they're supposed to. Also, the camera Metadata doesn't seem to be working either. It's like bridge isn't recognizing the .NEF files. the I've loaded the appropriate plug-ins into Photoshop which made it so I could open the .NEF files in that program (at first I couldn't). I found a plug-in folder in the Bridge Application Folder and copied the same plug-ins but it's not making it work. I also tried adding the files in Bridge by creating a new batch and also by clicking a dragging. What can I do to fix this? I want to be able to see the thumbnail image.
I'm using CS2 (9.0) on a Macbook Pro with OSX (tiger) and 1 gig RAM.

Since I have to go, I suspect that it is not Photoshop, but Windows 7, whose dialog boxes Photoshop uses.
You can set up Windows to display raw thumbnails using the Microsoft Codec Pack which you get here:
How do I view RAW pictures in Windows 7? - Microsoft Windows Help
Then Photoshop should be able to display them as thumbnails.

After upgrade to 9.2 my thumbnails don't show up

After upgrade to 9.2, my thumbnails don't show up. I know the photo is there because I can click on the space where the outline is and get a picture. Anyone??

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails. This can take three or four goes.

IPhone pix thumbnails don't show in iPhoto

Just upgraded to Snow Leopard yesterday. Took some photos with my iPhone 3G. When I sync the phone with my iMac, it launches iPhoto but the thumbnails don't show in iPhoto, only the yellow dashed line indicating they are there.
The photos download fine so this isn't a huge issue, just odd. Anyone else run into this and have a fix?
Thanks!

I think what I have noticed is that the thumbnails for screenshots (which are .png format) don't show up before importing. The thumbnails for regular pix should.
I didn't worry about a fix.

Camera Raw Defaults & Presets not showing menus (BRIDGE)

Hi There
I just upgraded to a new version of PS CS3 & Bridge and the option to apply Presets, or to Apply Camera Raw Defaults is not showing when I right click a file in Bridge. It also doesnt show up in the menu. I need to be able to Batch process hundreds of photos at a time and then convert them to Tif formats. I used to be able to do this by applying my Adobe Camera Defaults to many images at once. How do I do this now????
I am running Bridge 2.0.0975 and PS 10. Help!! This is critical for me!!!
thanks so much!

Agreed. I have gigabytes of disk space packed full of iso's, dmgs, and zips for
(almost) all of the software I've installed on my computers. It's a pain to
manage sometimes, but I know I can go back and reinstall PS7 (for instance) if I
need to even though I have no clue where the CD is at. It's just one part of my
configuration management and backup strategy. I don't have a sysadmin to take
care of this kind of thing for me any more, unfortunately, so I have to do it
myself.
This plan also has the advantage that I don't have to be online to download
older versions from a vendors site (if it's even available) or go searching for
a seeded torrent (if it's not).
I'm not saying this approach is good for every one or even good for anyone but
me, but it is a perfectly valid way of doing things.

Some of my video thumbnails don't show

I triple back up my photos and videos on external hard drives.
Recently, I went back to look at some of my May 2012 home videos on my back ups. Three of the videos didn't seem to work. The thumbnails didn't show an image from the video. Went I went to play them, all that happened was a black screen with the timer at the bottom of the Quicktime player showing that the video was playing, but all that I could see of the video was a black screen and no audio. I went through searching through previous iPhoto libraries in time machine and eventually found the video footage in a 'masters' folder (they still didn't show up in the iPhoto library - I had to do a search on my Mac).
Having rescued all the missing videos, I thought the problem was over. Sadly, no. Another time I went back to look at the videos on my back ups, suddenly a whole load more videos were behaving similarly: no image from the video for a thumbnail like the working videos have; pressing space bar to play them in Finder led to the black screen I'd seen before. This time they played in Quicktime, though after taking ages to load up rather than the split second it normally takes. But still the missing thumbnail and the mysterious black screen when I try it in quick view in Finder.
The same thing happens on all 3 of my back up external drives, so it can't be a problem with them.
The same thing happens on my white, Snow Leopard Macbook AND my silver Lion Macbook Pro.
So I don't know what the problem is!
Another thing, (which may be related), recently when opening iPhoto it says "There is a problem accessing one or more files in your iPhoto library. Do you want iPhoto to repair permissions for this library for you?" to which I reply 'Repair'.
These videos are of great sentimental value, as you can imagine. I don't want this to keep happening. Any idea why this happens and how to stop it?
yours.

"Some of my keyboard keys don't work"
So exactly which keys don't work?
So like Grant says, "external USB keyboard".
I have the identical machine and the "qwertyuiop[]" keys stopped working. I thought it was a problem with the connector. After using it with an BlueTooth keyboard for a year I bit the bullet and bought an entire upper case on eBay for $69 and installed it myself. I actually just bought the keyboard itself but there are ~70 tiny screws that hold it in and I didn't want to go through all that to have to put it in. Those upper cases are very cheap now so that was the way to go.

Thumbnails Don't show up

Ok folks, this has absolutley stumped me. I have 2 sites where I need them to share the same images and thumbnails. I set up on the server (linux/apache) all the pemissions and I'm actually aliasing all the directories. The thumbnails however refuse to appear on one of the site. All other images appear just fine.
Example: everything is ok on this site:
http://www.annapolismoves.com/featured.php
However, Thumbnail don't appear on this site:
http://www.dayweitzman.com/featured.php
All the thumnail are of course dynamic with ADDT so are the full size images that are not a problem under either domain, example:
http://www.annapolismoves.com/listing.php?propertyid=129
http://www.dayweitzman.com/listing.php?propertyid=129
If you can she any light on this. I'd really appreciate it

You’re database is damaged (by a crash, perhaps?) and the damage is such that it cannot be recovered with Library Manager.
Your only option now is to create and populate a new Library:
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Thumbnails aren't showing in Bridge

About a week ago, my Bridge changed and now doesn't show thumbnails and the file icons are all spread out and are taking up a lot of space. Did I perhaps accidently hit a hot button that changed the view? I have searched for a way to get it back, but don't see anything. Now I'm wondering if the installation might be corrupted.
Does anybody know if this senario resembles a window or view setup that might have gotten activated? Or, if it is likely that something has become corrupted, can I reinstall Bridge without reinstalling my entire CS3 suite?
I've attached a screen shot of what it looks like now. This view used to show about 8 folders toward the top of the area, with superimposed images of what was in them, and then thumbnails of a ton of image files below them in the same folder.

Well, I tried that earlier to no avail. However, twenty minutes after I posted my question I found another discussion that suggested something to try and just now got a chance to try it. I held down "control" as I booted Bridge and selected all the options presented for clearing preferences and returning to default settings. It now works again just fine. Some kind of preference corruption, I guess.

Raw thumbnails will not display in Bridge CS3

I am using Bridge CS3 and Photoshop Elements 7 (the OS is Vista). I can open raw files OK via Bridge, and PSE will launch correctly as well, but the thumbnails in Bridge are only the file icons for the raw files, never images. .jpg files are fine. I have loaded the latest converter, but the problem in Bridge continues. Any suggestions?

I am using CS4 and had the same problem in Windows 7. I ran a check for update, ran the update, opened Bridge and still got icons...then I refreshed and all is working fine now, I can see my CR.2 files.
Hope this solves your issue.

NEF Thumbnails do not show in Bridge CS4

I just installed Adobe CS4 Design Premium. I am using a NIKON camera and shoot in RAW. System is Windows XP.
I installed the Camera Raw plugin and can open the photos in PS but Bridge does not make thumbnails for these files. This was working with Bridge CS3.
Would appreciate any help.

In most cases problems with RAW files are one of 2 problems.
1. There is more than one version in the plug-in folder. Go to PS help/about plug-in/camera raw. Only one version should be listed.
2. The plug-in is in the wrong folder. It should be in program files/COMMON FILES/adobe/plug-ins/cs4/file formats.
Note: This based on CS3, not sure how CS4 does it with 64 and 32 bit version, but should be similar.

.mov thumbnails don't show on vista system

Hi,
My Canon camera takes videos in .MOV format. Once they're on my windows vista computer the thumbnails (T.N.) do NOT show. I have tried to un-install/re-install quicktime and have tried many other things but still no thumbnails. I did do a clone of my old hard drive but the problem was on that drive before installing the new drive I currently am using. I have made sure the folder options are set properly to have thumbnails show. I'm not sure what changes I had made to my system when this became a problem, so I can't pinpoint what it might have been. I do know that I am having other system issues/errors that I will not discuss further as I don't know what is causing that as well. I thought the clone process was the culprit to the very slow computer but the T.N. issue was prior to that as I said.
I don't know if i need to re-install some sort of Codec or which one, and from where, so I haven't done that yet. I'm hoping someone can offer some resolutions for me with this as I would love to be able to determine which video I want to play. I have thousands of .MOV videos of my beautiful little girl and I want to "mark" some of them for future viewing.
I'm not sure what other info to offer so please respond with a resolution or other questions that you may need to help me with this.
Thanks apple people! You guys rock!

I am also experiencing the same issue where thumbnails will not load in icon view. This system is less than 2 wks old with little in the way of changes from the factory default settings. When working from the local HDD the system will get into a mode where it will either stop displaying thumbnails of png or jpg files or it will take minutes to load the thumbnails (when there are <30 files in the folder). If the system is rebooted the thumbnails will load correctly again. The need to reboot several times a day though for proper icon view thumbnails is a real irritation. After convincing my wife to convert to a Mac for superior reliability this is a real disappointment.
Any suggestions to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.

Thumbnails don't show in Finder or Stacks

I use a MacBook Pro running OS X Leopard 10.5.6, VMware Fusion 2.0.2, Skitch and Pixelmator.
As you can see, sometimes, OS X doesn't show thumbnails of pictures in Finder or Stacks.
Everytime this happens, *I have to re-boot my Mac.*
I have no idea why this happens and workaround but all I can do is just re-boot.
Anybody having the same or a similar issue?
Time Machine has nothing to do with this because I don't use it.
However, I have a doubt on VMware Fusion, I've got no proof though.

Thumbnails don't show changes

I am frustrated by the fact that my thumbnails do not reflect any changes I make to the image.
In addition everytime I view the image by clicking on the thumbnail...the image shows in the prview window but then 2 seconds later seems to zoom in and then reflect any changes I may have made to the image.
For example...I've changed a good number of images to b/w simply by desaturating the image.
The next time I look at this folder of images -the thumbnails that is...I see the original color image -pre-adjustment. Once I click on the thumbnail then I get the 2-3 second lagg then it appers with adjustments...seems to happens each and every time I view the folder -and every folder.
In CS 3 there was the possibility of setting preview preferences for bridge...but no more...any ideas anyone ?

Custom XMP panels don't show in Bridge CS4's Metadata palette

I've got a CS4 custom XMP panel working (using the "Generic" panel in the SDK) but I can't get it to display in the metadata palette of Bridge CS4 (the thing normally bottom right in the default Bridge "essentials" view).
In the old CS3 format, you could do this by adding an "fbname" attribute to fields of the custom panel. How do we now do this in the new SDK?
The Bridge metadata palette is mentioned on page 25 of the SDK programmer's guide, but the example given is merely of Dublin Core keywords (i.e. dc:subject) so shows in the Bridge metadata palette by default already.

Following on from this question, is it possible to build up a Metadata panel group of fields drawn from different namespaces? (by group I mean something like the IPTC Core label and arrow which expands into the IPTC fields).
One would have a heading such as "My data", which when expanded shows x fields from one namespace #1 and y fields from namespace #2. I've tried to do this by leaving the namespace blank and hardcoding it and the prefix into the properties' name argument - eg http://ns.adobe.com/photoshop/1.0/photoshop:Urgency
Hope this isn't a hijack!

Some thumbnails don't show?

In finder, (my pictures folder more specifically) some thumbnails do not ever show. There is simply the generic .jpeg file "picture" there, but when you click the picture, the appropriate picture displays in "Preview."
Does anyone know how to remedy this??

Hi
Have you tried this?
1 Go into Pictures Folder.
2  j (Show View Options).
3 Click on Show Icon Preview.
