Seeing JPEGS as THUMBS on desktop? Vista spoiling me? Fireworks too!

I don't really care for vista but do like that thumb images are shown on desktop. Anyway, is there a way to see all images as thumbs?
Also, sometimes if I open an image in FIREWORKS, and then save, it then has the FW ext instead of the thumbnail for the .png. What is the best way to REFRESH the whole OSX so all images show up as thumbnails or what files, "DO" show up as thumbs?
Thanks!

If you enable icon preview (in the View menu) then you will see image files. Vista offers icon previews for more file formats than Mac OS X, and Linux KDE more than either (including movie previews, font previews, SVGs, PDFs, PostScript files, text files, playing sounds when you mouse-over them, etc.).
I haven't checked, but I suspect that making a simple plugin for file previews in OS X is nearly as easy as doing it for KDE. I think the reason Vista has more than OS X is because it's kind of a pain to build a preview plug-in, and the reason KDE has more is some combination of the fact that it's user-designed and because it's been made very simple to do (once you know what you're doing, it's filling in a dozen lines in a template and you're good to go).

I would like to use time Machine to back up to a network SMB drive. I can see the drive on my desktop but it will not show in the time machine window to be able to select it

I currently have a mini server (OSX10.8.5, server 2.2.2) that I am using Time Machine to back up 4 external drives that are connected to the server via firewire 800. I would like to use Time Machine to back up to a windows network SMB drive. I can see the drive on my desktop but it will not show in the time machine window to be able to select it for use.
Can this be done
Thanks for any and all help

The supported targets for Time Machine backups are local (direct-connected) disks, and network targets include Time Capsule, a disk hanging off the current-generation AirPort (though not earlier AirPort devices), and OS X Server systems.
The Time Machine storage is based on the HFS+ file system, so I would not expect TM to work with SMB file services.
While there are hacks to allow Time Machine to access network drives, I would not consider those to be reliable. Skim the forum and the 'net for related details, and for previous discussions of setting this up and the related issues that can arise.
Remember to test the recovery with whatever you decide to use; whole point of backups is the ability to restore the data, after all.
If you want to learn more about Time Machine, Pondini is an excellent resource.

Hey GingCarv,
Great question. You'll want to download the movies from your purchase history. The following article explains how to do so:

I've installed three times with no luck. I downloaded the Creative Cloud Packager off the licensing site: https://licensing.adobe.com. I unpacked and choose my applications. The install seemed to be successful, but I don't so any of the applications anywhere.

Hi,
Creating package doesn't mean it will install the product,
You will need to install the package now. Please follow the instructions mentioned in the below articles

Please let me know if it doesn't help.

Can't see jpeg thumbnails

After 6 hours of reading the same solution, I still can't get this to work. I can't see jpeg thunbmails/icons. Just that stupid jpeg icon and I've done the cmd j preview icon thing and everything else mentioned. This is stupid.. os x mavericks 10.9.1
Is there a proper solution to fix this? It's absolutely maddening to not be able to view the image preview when looking at 100's of files in finder.
Thanks!

just found my answer elsewhere in the forum: "view options/view icon"
sorry!

Don't see LR in the CC desktop app that I just purchased.

I just purchased the creative cloud with photoshop and lightroom. I had previously installed the cc as a trial and had also used a trial of LR months ago. PS cc is fine, but now that I purchased the monthly membership, I am unable to download LR. LR is not even an option on the desktop app. I read other member's questions and tried uninstalling the trial of LR and rebooted, still don't see LR in the CC desktop app. Not sure what to do next. Thanks.

Ralpht5 it looks as if you found a resolution in Why can't I download LR in CC?

How do I transfer a jpeg image from my desktop to pages on my ipad2

How do I transfer a jpeg image from my desktop to pages on my ipad2 ? Need to prepare a document urgently !!

Well you actually need to provide some details to get assistance
Why will it "not allow it?"
If you have exported to a finder folder on the desk top then your issue is not an iPhoto issue but a system issue - but to resolve it exact details are needed including exact error messages

Is there any way to see full icon label on desktop or in folder?

Is there any way to see full icon label on desktop or in folder...like in windows...for example for "Macintosh HD" I see "Mac...HD", but I want to see "Macinto..."? Is there any way to change this? I have in many folder files with similar names, and I need to click twice on each file to see its full name and it can be really annoying...

In Finder, just drag the divider bar further to the right while holding down the option key to see the full label (using the 'option' key will make the width preference stick).
On the desktop icon, hold down 'contro'l and click on the icon. Choose 'Show view options' then make the grid spacing larger.

A few months back I Dropped my iPhone 4 and I cracked my screen and now i cant unlock my phone due to touch screen not working plus there are blurred lines across the screen and I can't see anything that it displays.
Now when I try too connect my iPhone 4 to iTunes on my computer at home an error message comes up saying that I have to unlock my iPhone 4 for it to communicate to my device.
But the problem is that I can't unlock my iPhone 4 because I'm unable to see the key pad and my touch screen no longer responds when I touch it.
I just want to reset my iPhone 4 back to its Factory Settings & start all over from the beginning.
How can I unlock my iPhone 4 with iTunes on my computer or any other option you suggest me trying.
Thank you in advance,

If you have had a "local guy "repair your iphone you will not get any support from Apple for warranty OR post warranty
If Verizon return it to Apple it wil not be handled by Apple
If Verizon also use unauthorised repairers you may be lucky

I've send from Lightroom 5 photos in Jpeg format to my desktop that arrive as Archive and I'm unable to do anything with the photos. I want to put them in a folder but can't. It seems problem is in them being in 'archive'. Any suggestions?

I've exported photos from Lightroom 5 from my laptop to my wife's desktop. The photos arrive as Archive and she's unable to do anything with them, such as catalog them in an IPhoto folder with other photos. Is there an adjustment I need to make when exporting from Lightroom 5 so we can avoid this problem? Thank you.

Sorry - this is the iPhoto for Mac support forum - Your question does not involve iPhtoo for the Mac in any way - you need to contact Adobe or use an Adobe LR support forum for LR support
Afar as iPhoto is concerned it can import JPEGs and TIFFs - plus a few others - I have no idea what an archive format is and neither does iPhoto

Can't see Jpegs that are edited in Photoshop from RAW

Hi everyone,
I shot some pictures in RAW on my Nikon D70. I imported them to iphoto using a card-reader. I have iphoto set up to use Photoshop for editing. I double click on the photo in iphoto and it opens up in Photoshop...I edit as normal, change it to 8-bit, and then save as a Jpeg. In the past, my changes are reflected in iphoto.
Now, when I look at my photos in iphoto I still see the original RAW photos. Now if I edit the RAW photos in iphoto instead of Photoshop, the changes that I've made are reflected.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong here? I just want to be able to see the modified jpegs that I know are there.
Thanks,
Tom

Thank you so much for the reply...That sort of makes sense...so I guess that with Raw photos I have to edit them from my desktop folder and then after I am done, just import the jpegs into iphoto. That is bizarre!! I would have sworn that in the past I could import my raw photos into iphoto, edit them in photoshop (via iphoto) and then when I save them, the saved jpeg is what I saw in iphoto.
I guess not! So now the question is this...where are all of those jpegs that I already edited being stored???
Thank you very much for the answer to my question!

Palm Desktop Vista Loses Calendar Info and won't allow hotsync to replace it from Z22

For the second time in about a month, I have opened Palm Desktop on my Vista PC to find that the calendar is blank. All the information that was there is now gone. When I then attempt a hotsync with my Z22 (where that data is still intact), the hotsync hangs at step 2 of 12, which correlates to the second datebook sync in the log.
What I would like to know is: 1. What is the name of the data files that hold the sync info, and would trashing them allow a successfull hotsync? 2. Can .bak files be used in place of .dba files to replace the data? 3. What can I do in the future to avoid this issue?
Post relates to: Palm Z22

I too, opened Palm Desktop on my Vista ran computer only to have all my info gone ... my desktop was more up to date than my Palm TX by four weeks. Is there anyway I can get this info back without doing the hotsync ... seeing my desktop was the most up to date????
Any assistances would be most appreciated.

Decktop 6.2, HotSync not see Bluetooth as Connections option, Vista 64-bit

I got a new Dell Studio XPS with Vista Home Premium 64-bit and discovered that I could not perform a USB sync with my Treo 755p (Verizon). Since bluetooth sync was recommended, I purchased an IOGear Bluetooth 2.0 USB Micro Adapter (GBU421) and allowed Windows to discover the device. When prompted by Windows to insert the disk to install the driver, I went to the IOGear website and downloaded the most recent software (WIDCOMM bluetooth software version 5.5.0.4400 released 03/11/09 for Windows XP & Vista, 32 & 64-bit). Prior to installing this software, I had done a "clean" uninstall of all Palm files as directed in these forums and did a restart of the computer. I installed the bluetooth software & configured it to be "discoverable" and did another restart. Finally, I downloaded Palm Desktop 6.2, installed it and restarted the computer again. However, HotSync Manager does not see Bluetooth as one of the Connection options. My Treo 755p does "see" the computer when configuring bluetooth. Is there any hope that I may be able to sync this computer with my 755p or am I forced to look for a different smartphone? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

This question was solved.
View Solution.

bonz1973: It worked! I am so relieved & happy after so many hours of frustration. I want to thank you so much for your reference to messages #353 & #354 on "Vista 64 Hotsync solution found!" I want to share some of my experience that may help someone else. My comments are in [ ] and take off of those from edwardek.
1. Installed Palm v4.2 [I found that I did not need to do this]
2. Installed Palm v6.2
3. Installed Palm Outlook 2007 [ didn't do this part either since I use Outlook 2003]
4. Installed Bluetooth apps
5. Inserted the ... dongle in the USB port #6
[edwardek claims that he needed to use USB port #6 but my computer does not have a USB port #6. Instead it divides the many USB ports into Hubs. What' more important is that some software sets up the Bluetooth to transmit on a COM port. Mine was COM3. To see how your adapter software installed your Bluetooth devise, check the Device Manager in the Control Panel. It does list "Bluetooth Devices" where you can find the Device, right click, choose Properties, and see which USB port the Bluetooth adapter is in. However Device Manager also listed my Bluetooth under "Network adapters" and "Ports (COM & LPT)" which is important because I had to configure HotSync using Serical port COM3. I think it depends on the Bluetooth software you get.]
6. In your PC tray (at the bottom of your PC display), Right Click Hotsync Manager and select "Settings" [Yes, you need to configure your computer's HotSync method.]
7. Wait a long time (2 minutes) and the Hotsynch Manager window will be displayed. In that window click "Connection" and when the window opens click "USB" (a checkmark will then appear), then click COM (a checkmark will appear), under this you'll see a pick list drop-down menu showing all the ports. Select COM6.
[I didn't have to wait at all for HotSync to display. Yes, check both USB and Serial connections and at this point a dialog box showed the Serial connection was COM3, matching what was in Device Manager. I suspect that some software actually creates a Bluetooth option that shows up in the Connections list like the instructions from PALM specify. My software didn't set up the Bluetooth device is this way and so I was totally frustrated by not finding Bluetooth on the Connections list.]
8. Next set up your Bluetooth application and make sure it is paired with your Treo (I'm assuming everyone knows how to do this but in essence you make sure the Bluetooth application sees your Treo (your name) and that your Treo sees your PC (the PC name). [Before this step you have to configure your Treo so Bluetooth is ON and VISIBLE and you can see your computer as a Device. I had a shortcut to my Bluetooth software in the PC Tray beside the HotSync icon. Once I had the Connections set for USB and Serial in step 7 and the Treo set up to be Visible, the computer saw my Treo using the name I had given the Treo.]
9. From your Treo start the HotSynch, then on your Bluetooth application (Bluesoleil) right click on the Treo device and select connect. You should then see that the 2 devices are connected and the exchange begins. [Yes, start the HotSynch from your Treo.]
It worked for me and hope this helps you sync your Treo and your Vista 64-bit. Thanks for everyone's input and help.

XP Desktop/Vista Laptop Network Blues

I've read all kinds of things in many different forums concerning this issue. I've tried most of what was suggested to no avail. I know it is something small and stupid that I, the networking novice, have yet to stumble across. Here's a list of pertinent information:
Desktop = XP SP3, same user accounts, connected via ethernet cable to router, workgroup name matches, full permissions granted, cannot see Vista Laptop in network, LLTD enabled, can ping Vista Laptop, using IPv4, windows firewall disabled, network name same as workgroup, no 3rd party firewalls
Router = WRT54G Version 1.0 (firmware upgrade pending)
Laptop = VISTA (current), same user accounts, wireless to router, workgroup matches, full permissions granted, network map shows XP desktop to Switch, Switch to Network, Laptop to Network, Network to Internet, network devices show Internet gateway device and Laptop as Specified, and Wireless-G Router as Unspecified, can ping XP Desktop, file/printer sharing enabled, windows firewall disabled, network name same as workgroup, no 3rd party firewalls
I implore your, Internets. Help me, please.
