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??

Have you tried this?

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.

Some songs don't show up on iPod, but they are there

I have an 80GB iPod classic. I have all my songs in iTunes, and I have manually synced them to my iPod. When I view my iPod through iTunes, I can see all the songs and play them. However, when I look on my iPod directly, some songs don't show up when I browse by Artist, Song, etc.
The only way to play them on my iPod is to add them to a Playlist, and then they are accessible. However, if I want to listen to Eminem, for instance, I want to just browse to it in the Artist area.
The songs do have all of the appropriate info, and I have tried Restore and still nothing. These songs used to show up on my old, original iPod, so I am for a complete loss. Please help!

This isn't foolproof but there are usually two things that contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song has no album name associated with it or 2) the song is marked as part of a compilation.
If tracks are missing an Album name (as mentioned above) in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances but the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod
Also if the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they will not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. Compilations are stored in a separate folder in iTunes so the songs don't appear inside the normal Artist>Album folder which may be why this happens.

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.

Raw thumbnails don't show up in Photoshop they do in bridge

Raw thumbnails don't show up in Photoshop they do in bridge

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.

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?

"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.

Some photos don't show in LIbrary view--just the outlines of them

Tonight I tried to transfer a bunch of digital photos from a CD my daughter burned into my iPhoto library, into the 2006 year folder.
I opened the CD and in the icon view, the pictures looked fine--jpeg files.
After I transferred them, these pictures don't show in my initial iPhoto window (the one that opens first when you click on iPhoto in the Dock, and shows all the pictures in my Library sorted by (in my case) roll/date.
Then photo thumbnails from years prior to 2005 show up, fine, but for the most recent year of pictures, all I get are the outlines of where the thumbnails ought to show. When I click on one of the blank thumbnails, of course I get a blank ...but the frame in the lower left shows the ID info for the picture and the picture counts, etc.
I can open the folders from the Pictures file and see them...they just won't show up in the overall Library window.
So...I moved the transferred ones out of the iPhoto library and just put them in the Pictures folder for now.
But what did I do? And how do I "fix it" to make all the thumbnails show up again? This is probably some simple thing...but I can't figure it out. I tried showing just the last 12 months...and I get all the blank outlines.

Hi john,
First problem. You need to import photos into the iPhoto Library the correct way which is while iPhoto is open. Drag the photos out of where you put them (you already did) now you can import them into iPhoto from there.
Read on for more info....--First thing to know and remember is this...Do not drag any images, folder of images into the iPhoto Library in the Finder. Images have to be imported into iPhoto within the application. Do not scan images and save them into the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder. Save them to another location such as the Pictures folder or even the desktop. You can then import them into iPhoto.
If you have already put files/folders in the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder then you will also find out that if you try to import them into iPhoto you will get an error message. No worry, just drag them to the desktop and import from there.
--All images that you import are shown in the library view. You can choose how you want to view, by rolls, by date, by rating, etc. When you put images in an Album, slideshow, book, etc, you are actually just putting pointers to those images in the library. You are not adding more images. If you delete an image from the Album it will still be in the library. If you delete an image from the library it is deleted from iPhoto's database and your hard drive (unless you have it backed up somewhere else)
--You have a folder of images on your hard drive and want to import them into iPhoto. Drag the folder of images into an open iPhoto Library window and the folder of photos will be copied into the library, resulting in a new roll with the name of the folder. You now have two copies of those photos, the ones in iPhoto's database and the ones on your desktop. You can keep the ones on your desktop that you just imported as backup or you can delete that folder.
-- you scan a picture/pictures and save it in a folder. You cannot scan directly into iPhoto or the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder.
You want all your photos in iPhoto so you import them into iPhoto.
Now you have two copies of that picture/pictures, so you can delete the originals that were in the scanned folder and keep the one/ones that were imported into iPhoto.
-- You download pictures from your camera into iPhoto.
There is now one copy of each of the pictures. (DO NOT HAVE IPHOTO DELETE THE IMAGES FROM YOUR CAMERA! DELETE THEM MANUALLY WITH THE CAMERA-if something goes wrong with the import and they are never imported and then they are deleted from the camera you might end up losing those images)
You want to change something about a picture you imported, such as
cropping it or changing the size, or changing the orientation.
Once you do that to a picture, you now have two copies of the picture
in iPhoto, the original and the edited one. The edited one will be in the library organize view. The original is packed away in an Original folder in your iPhoto Library folder under the date of the roll. You can always revert to the original by control clicking on the photo and choose "revert to orginal" You will not have this choice if you used iPhoto Diet to get rid of the Originals.
(a quick note on cropping within iPhoto...when you are in edit mode, you automatically will be in the crop mode with cross hairs to highlight the crop area. To finish cropping you must click the crop button and then go back to library view and your cropped picture will be there.
3.You want to use Photoshop or another graphic program to edit a picture in your iPhoto library.
You can open up prefs for iPhoto and choose "when double clicking on
photo ..do" choose "other" and select Photoshop. Now you can edit all
pictures in your iPhoto library in PhotoShop by double clicking. If you save the photo with the same name and as a flattened file it will be saved right into iPhoto and you will see the changes. If you don't want to save it into iPhoto then do a "save as" and save to the desktop. You will then have the original photo still in iPhoto and your new edited photo on the desktop.
Or, with iPhoto open, you can drag a picture from the library window
to your desktop (you see a + sign on the pic you are dragging). You now
have two of the same picture, one in the iPhoto library and one on your desktop. You can open up the one on your desktop in any graphic program and work on it. The one in iPhoto stays the same. You can also share/export the picture/pictures to your desktop or folder to work on them or do batch processing, etc. You will still have the originals in your iPhoto Library.
Or, you can open up the ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library/folders and option drag any
picture out of the folder to your desktop. Notice that you will see a plus sign while dragging the photo. This is copying the file to your desktop
I would advise anyone not to do this as they might forget to use the option key and drag the photo out. Next time you open iPhoto the photo will be missing.
Two Apple kbs for you to read
Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto library folder
About the iPhoto Library folder
Don't forget that in Library view you can Control click on any picture and get a contextual menu with many options. One is to revert to original.
Now to get to your next problem...do a "get info" on your iPhoto Library folder.
Get info on the iPhoto Library folder
Make sure the owner is you and you have read/write" permission. If not, click the lock to unlock and change to you as the owner with Read/write. Click the button at the bottom.

Some Events Don't Show Up in List View on Calendar

I love using Calendar on my iPhone 4S. I like the List View, where I can everything I have for that day. However, I've noticed a glitch: some events which are on my calendar for that day when you view the day by tapping on the day of the month, don't show up when you tap on "List". I don't get it. I can't figure it out for the life of me.
Does anyone know why that happens?

Are the events missing subscription events?
I recently took the big leap into the total wireless syncing thing. And unfortunately I have found that anything that is subscription won't sync from iCal on my macbook pro to MM or my iPhone 3G. And when I say subscription, if there are any calendars that you have subscribed to in iCal that show up on a separate list, in 10.5, they will not be included in the syncing. However, there is one subscription of moon phases that ended up in the regular part of the list and it is syncing to my phone and MM just fine.
This is upsetting to me because I would like very much to subscribe to my wife's calendar to have on my iPhone and on MM and they won't be showing up because they are not supported. I checked with AppleCare on this and they told me that Apple is not allowing subscriptions because of the possibility of date redundancies mucking up the servers.
Anyway, I hope this helps.

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.

Some Thumbnail images not showing up in folders? just a icon

Just bought a Brand new Mac with i7 processor. It did not come with Lion installed though. So before doing anything I upgraded to the free Lion update. So here is the issue.
For some reason i cant view preview thumbnail images of some .ARW and .jpg files in some folders, while others I can. I made sure all the "view options" were set and everything. Also moved files to new folders. So here is what I did.
1. Reformated and Reinstalled Snow Leopard and put my .ARW files and the preview thumbnails show up in all folders with no issues. Then I updated to Lion again and now some show and some don't. The funny thing is that now files that did not show thumbnails the first time now does, and some that shown thumbnails now don't. Its different each time I install Lion OS
2. I removed the hidden .DS_Store files in these folders just to make sure those where not effecting it as well, but it did not do anything after a new one appeared.
Whats up with Lion? known bug? I did a search and did not hear about this issue yet? Am I the first lucky one?

I am having similar problems with viewing jpgs in preview / finder in 10.7... but only those that were create by either lightroom or photoshop ( LR 3 / PS CS4) after installing Lion... they preview fine in bridge and every other app.... Just not in Finder etc....
Very annoying!
If anyone has any suggestions, I am all ears.

.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.

Some songs don't show up on the playlist after syncing

All of the songs on the playlist show up on my iPhone. But they just aren't in the playlists. It seems like it's the older songs I had before I transfered everything onto my new computer that are getting left off. All the songs are checked and play fine on the computer.

This isn't foolproof but there are usually two things that contribute to songs not appearing under Artist on the iPod, both due to information either in or missing from the Get Info>Info tab against the song in iTunes. 1) the song has no album name associated with it or 2) the song is marked as part of a compilation.
If tracks are missing an Album name (as mentioned above) in the Info tab, this information needs to be filled in. The no album one is a bit quirky as the songs will appear under certain circumstances but the simplest remedy is just add None or Miscellaneous in place of a title. See this link for more detail: I don't see some of my songs when browsing by artist on my iPod
Also if the tracks are ticked in the Get Info>Info tab as part of a compilation, they will not appear under Artist on the iPod. Highlight a song in iTunes that you know is not appearing correctly on your iPod. Right click on it and choose Get Info and click the Info tab (alternatively choose Get Info from the File menu), if "Part of a Compilation" is marked untick it and afterwards update your iPod, you should find it now appears as normal. Compilations are stored in a separate folder in iTunes so the songs don't appear inside the normal Artist>Album folder which may be why this happens.

Some songs don't show up on my iPod at all.

And other songs show up, but only in the song section, not the artist section...I'm thinking this MAY have something to do with faulty id3 tags, but I'm stumped as to how to fix it. Please help shed some light on my problem, thanks.

Some thumbnails do not show up in organizer

I have created a catalog with all my photos. There is a folder listing at the left of the screen. Some of the files in those folders do not appear in the thumbnails. They are all jpg files. If i try to import the files that are missing I am told they are already in the catalog. Still cant see them. I am also having trouble navigating the forums. New to this.

If I understand this correctly, you are reporting that you have images in your Featured News' target frames and some of those photos do not show up in the published site.
If so, I would like you to confirm if the widget works fine in Preview within Muse? Are the images missing in all browsers, even after clearing the browser cache? Can you provide a link to a published site? If required I may also request your source Muse file to investigate further.
Thanks,
Vikas
