Thumbnail different to photo once opened??
Hi,
I re-arranged some of my photos a while back and some of my photos seem to be lost. About 20 photos appear correct on the thumbnail, however once I open them, they switch to another, different photo. I have tried to import them onto my Macbook but it wont save them as it says it does not understand the file. The 20 photos lost just so happen to be very important family photos and I would be so grateful if someone could help me out!
Thanks
Revelant and accurate details are critical to helping you as we ony know what you tell us and can not see your computer. what version of iPhoto and on the OS? Exactly how did you "rearrange" the photos?
I have tried to import them onto my Macbook but it wont save them as it says it does not understand the file.
Please explain this - are the photos currently in iPhoto or not? what exactlhy are you doing?
The general answer for photos that have been imported into iPhoto and have incorrect thumbnails is to Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your tumbnails which might take a few tries

The photos in my IPhoto have all become mini-thumbnails and I can't open or edit them. When I print the image it comes out normal size. How do I get the thumbnails back to the standard size and be able to work with the photo files?
What version of iPhoto and system are you running? On the guess that you're running the latest iPhoto, 9.4.2, Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the thumnails, Option #2.
2 - It may take 2-3 attempts so don't give up after only one attempt.

hello, i created 5 different books (photo album) and i would like to know if it's possible to make one single order (and pay the transportation fees only once...) i couldn't find how
Soory, no, it is not possible. You can only combine multiple copies of the same book into one order.

My images will not show in the Finder Pictures folders, but just display as jpeg thumbnails. I have to open each one to see what photo it is. This has just recently started to happen.
I made sure the 'Show Icon Preview' box was checked. This is about all I can do, really, Frank, as i don't know enough about the workings of these machines to start fiddling about.
Strangely the images show as previews in some folders, yet not in others, even though they come from the same sources (my camera and my phone). -
I've got a iPod classic 80g I've got loads of pictures on there and I want to get them off. I've tried something where the files I get off come up as thumbnails which I can't open. Is there any way of getting them off and viewing them as a normal photo?
Oh no... NOT THE 99-PAGER!!! Anything but THAT!!!

In Iphoto 11 all 7000 of my photos show the same thumbnail. I rebuilt the thumbnail using ctr alt and opening iPhoto. This worked and rebuilt the thumbnails correctly. Then when I reopened iPhoto the problem came back? Help please?
Where is your Library stored?

Thumbnails from deleted photos
The thumbnails from deleted photos are showing up instead of the correct thumbnails. When I click on the thumbnail, a completely different photo opens. I have emptied my trash.
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Sounds like you have a damaged database file in the library. Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard. -
Event stack thumbnail different to contents of event
I have had an iPad for about 4 months and have imported about 4000 photos to it using the camera connector kit.
Usually the events tab displays events as a little stack of thumbnail images which you can reverse pinch to peek into that event, the top most image being the first one in the event.
This use to be all great but recently about half of my events have an incorrect stack thumbnail image. For instance the stack looks like one event, but when you go into it, it is the wrong event. If you peek, the top most incorrect image immediately changes to a different correct image; once you let go the image changes back to the incorrect one.
Has anyone had this problem before?
Thanks.I guess that no one has an answer. I am experiencing the exact same problem as you. I just updated to 4.3.4 on my iPad, and most of my photo events folders, have the wrong thumbnail. Also, all my photo events have been renamed to something like 129IMPRT, 130IMPRT ect., instead of the date of the event. I am using a PC and iTunes.

I purged cache in bridge, and photoshop. NO photos will open when I double clik, or will not open again in ACR alone. When I double clik on raw file I get Sign In required Notice--We will now register your TRIAL to your Adobe ID-------I am alread a SUBSCRIBER-------------Yes I get this same issue in Creative Cloud and same issue. error: Camera Raw editing is not enabled-----Camera Raw editing requires that a qualifying product has been launched at least once to enable this feature. These errors are happening inside both CS6 Bridge and CCphotoshop Bridge------NOTE----I am ALREADY signed into Creative Cloud and still get those message errors.........Need to fix ASAP.
When you sign in to Adobe.com with the user ID and Password your using in the Creative Cloud and Photoshop does this link https://www.adobe.com/account/my-products-services.html show that the account has a subscription?
Also this is a user forum not a Adobe Customer Services web site. -
Why does mountain lion "bunch up" all my microsoft office documents that I have open when I hit f3? When I had snow leopard for example, if i had 4 or 5 different microsoft office documents open at the same time I could hit f3 and easily pick one of them.
Notice how in the photo, I can't identify which MS office document I would like to switch too. Perhaps since the Dashboard and Desktop windows are at the top of my screen now Apple doesn't let you have all the applications take up the full screen and be sized individually so that you can have a better idea on what to pick.
I like the idea of grouping to an extent... If you have a bunch of random things it was hard for me to decifer between what was safari, chrome, or word. But now that they grouped them like this, if you have multiple pages of one program running, you can't switch between those pages easily like before.If I wanted to open any of my Applework documents I had to open them one at a time and resave them with pages. This could take weeks.I have 1000s of apple work documents.
You don't have to open and re-save every AppleWorks document you have right now. Just wait till you need one, then do it. The documents aren't going anywhere.
Am I dealing with Microsoft? This was a BIG surprise to me that Apple would release an OS without testing all programs.
Frankly, it is not Apple's responsibility to ensure compatibiltiy with every piece of software available for OS X. That is the responsibility of the software vendor. Lion has been available to developers for several months before it's release, so Microtek had plenty of time to update their software. Yet they did not. How is that Apple's fault? I think Apple was very generous to give you a refund for Lion.
I'm not trying to belittle your frustration but I do think your ire is misplaced. -

No Thumbnails with other photo apps (gorillacam, cppro, etc..) issue
When I use any app other than the included camera app to take a photo there is no thumbnail when I import them to my computer with Adobe Elements Uploader or open the folder to my iphone and view them in the folder. Older photo thumbnails are there but new images thumbnails taken with other apps are not. The thumbnail is a blank gray square. If you double click the blank thumbnail it will open in Windows Photo Viewer and you see the image fine but you can't tell what image you are opening because there is no thumbnail. This occurred after the OS 4 upgrade on my 3GS iphone. This is also occuring on my husband's iphone as well after the upgrade so it isn't just mine.
Same here.
Iphone 4, not jailbroken, with latest revision of iOS4 and I only can see the thumbnails of the photos that I take with the native camera app or the thumbnails of the videos (edited or not). If I use camera+ or try to edit any photo with any app I lost the thumbnails (so far I tested PhotoForge, PhotoGene, CropForFree, Photo Utility & ToonPaint). I tested it with iPhoto on my iMac and with the microsoft camera & scanner wizard on my PC.
This issue didn't happen with my iPad so I must agree with anilsudhakaran and conclude that with the last iOS update the way the metadata is stored changed and the apps dont or cant write it correctly thus the loss of the thumbnails.
I hope this is solved fast, is really a bother to import your photos without seeing what are you importing! -
IPhoto 09no thumbnails in exported photos
I just upgraded to iPhoto 09, and find that exported photos no longer have the thumbnail in their EXIF data. Help?!
I've just tried to duplicate the problem with the iPhoto 8.1.2 library and app and have been unable.
Try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If the problem persists in the test library do the following: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
If the new library preserves the thumbnail on exported photos then your current library is damaged. In that case make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
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. -
Iphoto photos not opening get black exclamation mark
iphoto photos not opening get black exclamation mark when open thumbnails
Not sure what you meant by "missing till" but all of the photos and movies are there. I concluded that searching for several photos by their file name and then opening them with Preview.
I'm pretty certain that I only used the Picasa desktop app to test using the Picasa web service for some family photos. I don't think I used it to edit any photos in the iPhoto library but I suppose it's possible that I did without really thinking about it.
Why to I have tiffs? - As far as I know I don't. They are all jpg or mov files. I can't imagine why that error dialog said I was missing a tiff.
I just noticed based upon your suggestion to review the package contents. I have folders for Modified and Originals which I've seen before. But I also have folders for Photos - Modified and Photos - Original. I haven't seen those last two before. Moreover, all but 6 of my latest photos are in those last two folders. iPhoto can show me their thumbnails but can't open them. iPhoto can open the 6 photos in the "Original" folder. I didn't notice that before because they represent a very small portion of my library and I didn't select the right photos.
iPhoto Library Manager could see only those 6 photos in the Original folder. There are none in "Modified". So iPLM obviously can't see the photos in Photos - Modified or in Photos - Original. Looking at the Info for these two folders, I see they were created on January 7, well more than a month before I downloaded Picasa. Somehow all but 6 of my photos got moved to these new folders. I must have done something to cause this but I have no clue what.
Sorry this is so long but usually details are important. Do you recommend that I use the Merge Libraries function in iPLM?
Thanks! -
How do I default my photos to open in Lightroom?
How do I default my photos to open in Lightroom?
Lightroom is not a file browser so there is no open function. To view files you first have to import (register) them into the Lightroom catalog. You can then work with them in the various modules, Library for photo management, tagging etc, Develop for editing (non-destructively) and making creative adjustments. Other modules for sharing, printing etc.
It completely different from image editing programs like Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro etc.
