Thumbnail for Photo Attachment
Wondering how to attach photos to mail? I want to view the photos via thumbnails in order to view/pick and choose the photos I want to send.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
What are you using to organise your photos? The Finder? iPhoto? Something else?
If it's the Finder, then use the view options: View Menu -> Show Icon Preview which works in icon view. If you're using iPhoto, you can email from with in the app itself. SO give us more details, maybe we can help.

I'm not sure what to post in? So here goes. I'm a photographer and had 4950 pics edited and store on my mac. My daughter was setting up photo shop and she took iphoto and put it in the trash by accident. We tried retrieving it and nothing! It shows that all of the pics all still in iphoto and the thumbnails are there but no pics? Anyone know how to put these back? It took me over a year to edit these! I'm really freaking out! HELP PLEASE!!!!! THX
First locate the file with the name: iPhoto Library
Search on your Mac for it if need be using the Find command in the File menu.
When you find this file, hold down the control key and click on it, select Show Package Contents.
Look for a folder called Originals or Masters. That folder has the original photos.
The folder called Previews has the edited photos.
If your iPhoto database is damaged, you might in the worst case have to manually re-import these photos into a new library, but that's only a last resort. Don't move or change anything in the iPhoto Library for now.
If you found this iPhoto Library file, then you still have your actual photos. Now don't touch those photos or move anything. Close up the iPhoto Library window. Put the iPhoto Library back in your Pictures folder. Run iPhoto and hold down the option key. Select that iPhoto Library when requested to select the iPhoto Library. If that doesn't work, select "other" and navigate to that iPhoto Library and select it.
Let follks here know which of the above steps worked and which (if any) did not. -
Preview / Thumbnails for videos not showing
Hello Guys,
I was hoping someone can help me.
I usually import photos from my Canon 400d and iPhone 4 and 3GS and it's been working fine for a long time. A couple of weeks ago, it stopped showing the thumbnails for photos and videos.
My settings for import are to render previews with minimal size (and has always worked great like that). If I try to render standard sized thumbs after import, sometimes it works, and sometimes it hangs with some photos. I can quickly fix that going into "Develop" mode where it creates the preview correctly.
But for videos, because you can't go into develop mode, it just hangs trying to build the previews.
Note that all videos previous to 07-22-2011 show the thumb correctly.
Some more info on my system and the things I've tried.
My system is a Macbook Pro 2.66 i7 with 8Gb DDR3
Lightroom 3.4.1 - 64 bits
Cameras Canon 400d, iPhone 4 & 3GS
I'm running Lion OS X now but I can see in my catalogue that the blank thumbnails start appearing a week before I upgraded.
My catalog is not too big, around 3K photos
I tried getting rid discarding all the 1:1 previews and rebulding them again. I works OK for the photos but the rendering hangs when the get to the videos that have been imported after 07-22-2011.
I checked the video properties and they are all the same as old videos (nothing changed in my iphone) they are .mov files h264 with ACC audio (same as all the previous ones that show the thumbnail correctly)
I tried deleting the .lrdata preview file, and recreating all the previews in standard-size and nothing, then tried with 1:1 preview, but again it hangs when it gets to the videos
I created a new catalog and imported 2 new videos. getting the same result.
Can anyone help?Thanks Geoff.
I used an app called app zapper to completely delete 3.4 and then installed 3.5 RC and the general speed seems to be a 'little' bit better.
But video seem to screw up everything. Previews are still not rendering for videos and as soon as I get into a mixed folder (videos & images) Lightroom starts to lag badly... -
I can see my thumbnails for my events in iphoto, but when I click to open the folder, no photos show up. However, when I hover over the thumbnail, it shows the flicker of images
that should be inside the folder, as well as # of images in each folder. It also occasionally says the following when I try to even open iphoto: "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete." So, I am scared to hit "upgrade" for fear I will never recover any of the images as the wording in this quote seems odd. The photos are not in the trash. Did I lose them all? Do you know if/how I can retrieve them?iPhoto 08?
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
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 (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event 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. -
I recently updated my mid-2010 Macbook Pro 15 inch to 10.10.3 Yosemite and I am now using the new Photos app. My Photostream shows missing thumbnails for more of the recent photos, I let it sit for an hour and they still don't show. Any tips to make the thumbnails show quickly? I have tried disabling photostream and reactivating it which didn't work. The thumbnails do eventually show only if I view each specific photo, but it would take forever to select each one to make the thumbnail show
Hi,
Thanks for that tip and I got as far as that as well with Apple Support but for me the subsequent syncing doesn't work.
I have just returned from another visit at the Apple Store where their top level Genius (if such a thing exists) wanted to see it for himself. Rather worryingly, neither he nor Apple head office has an answer for why this isn't working.
To summarise, I connect my iPhone 6 (all up to date) with my MBA/iTunes via USB cable. The sync tab under the iPhone allows me to sync my photos via USB and I get a dropdown menu to chose from iPhoto or Photos Sync. Both libraries in same location but iPhoto works, but Photos says there are 0 pictures and won't sync...
The Apple genius was going to try it himself tonight at home. He has my number and has promised to phone. In the meantime my question remains. For those of you who do not use the Cloud for storing pictures could you please confirm the sync is working for you as described above. Thanks -
In the photo bin, what is the brush icon within the thumbnail for?

It means you have made edits but not saved them. At least, that is what it's supposed to signify.

PSE 11 will not make thumbnails for newly imported photos
Running PSE 11 on Windows 7 64 bit. It was making and displaying thumbnails for imported photos fine until recently, but no longer does. Still displaying thumbnails for earlier photos. Windows displays thumbnails fine, and PSE shows the thumbnails during the import process but not in the organiser afterwards.
I have tried:
right click - update thumbnail
Repair catalog (which identified that there are problems in the thumbnail cache, but doesn't fix it)
Uninstall/reinstall
Still not working.
Any ideas?No, the orientation is not the issue, The first set of 4 imported videos were from a GoPro 3 camera, and the one that was lost doing an "update thumbnail" operation was also a GoPro3 fie.
Just now I did another experiment, I chose to update thumbnail from a video file created with my Pentax WG-3 and it worked.
I updated thumbnail on a horizontal and verticle video from my Galaxy S3, and now those are also gone with no thumbnail...
So far the only one that actually works for me is the Pentax video, which is a MOV file. , the GoPro 3 and Galaxy are mp4 files, so it's possible that the mp4 format has something to do with it. This is very frustrating losing my thumbnails like this.... Luckily I have not deleted ver11 yet.
I hope they repair this issue soon.
Thanks for the help so far, -

Is there a way to send a message with a photo attached using imessages. I am not able to send a photo to one of my contacts because I am sending the contact a message text messages. I don't want to send contacts text messages. I want to send them iMessages.
Kolyei, sorry for the late reply.
Have your brother create a contact in his phone for himself. Inside his own contact, have him add his phone number and his iCloud address.
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive Have your brother select both his phone number and email addresses where he would like to receive iMessages. -
I have a new Mac Pro. I want to use my old Mac Pro as a storage drive for photos and old documents, linked to my new Mac Pro. How do I set up the old computer? Both computers have OS X10.9.3. Currently they are connected by a Firewire 800 cable.
You certainly could keep the old Mac Pro in Firewire mode (hold down the T key on its keyboard as you boot) to show its drives on the new MP. This is basically as fast as putting the drives into a Firewire enclosure.
Or you could boot it normally and share its files over the network using the Sharing panel of System Preferences. If you turn on both File and Screen Sharing, you don't even need to have a monitor attached - you can do all administration using screen sharing. However, this method requires that you open all files over the network, which will be slower than the direct-connect method above, and may also not work with all applications.

PSE4 - No thumbnails for .TIF files (Fuzzy TIF problem?)
My PSE4 newly installed on my Win XP. But, I just catalogued the first 100 of my black-and-white photos into the PSE Organizer. These were all a standard format of 4x6" at 300 dpi gray scale files. But, while the .jpg files show thumbnails in the Organizer, the .tif thumbnails show up as black rectangles. Still these .tifs can be viewed in the PSE editor, and when I resave them as a .psd file, a thumbnail shows up in the Organizer for the .psd. (Oh, an attempt to resave the original file in PSE as .tif didn't help).
Post script -- I just tried to catalogue a few of my more recent 4x6" gray scale .tif files as I described above. I noted that the thumbnails for the .tif files showed up in PSE Organizer for just a second or two, and then promptly changed to black rectangles. Interesting
But I have hundreds of such .tif photos still to be catalogued: (1) Am I going to have to resave each file as .psd, and (2) is there any downside to .psd as long as I'm using Adobe software? I just noted that my online photo processor (Fuji) doesn't accept .psd files.
I saw in the forum about PSE4 encountering the "fuzzy .tiff" problem but couldn't find a full explanation anywhere. I had the impression that not all .tiffs are created equal! I think most of mine were created by Adobe Photoshop 7 that I once had access to. I'm really worried that PSE4 is not going to work out for me.Check out this thread:
Carol Baidinger, "Photos turn black" #12, 14 Dec 2005 5:55 pm
I don't use Windows, so I don't know if you'll find anything helpful, but I'm sure you'll at least get some comfort from knowing you're not the only person experiencing a problem with TIFF files in PSE 4.0. :( -
since update to 9.3, when I click thumbnails of photos i get an error message that original photo cannot be found. Didn't have this problem prior to upgrade to 9.3 and 9.3.1. Any thoughts?
This is the iPhoto for iOS forum. You should ask in the Mac iPhoto forum. iPhoto for is OS only on version 1.

Is there any way to display filenames or captions for photos?
is there any way to display filenames or captions for photos?
Thanks. There are so many it's very hard to see which one does what. Since I edit on the MacBook Pro using Photoshop Elements, all I really need is a way of seeing the filenames, and secondarily re-arranging thumbnails on the iPad screen manually.

Our company recently purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI for the purpose of using it for shared electronic reviews. We are using Send for Shared Review created in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI, and all the Comment tools work as expectedexcept the paperclip in Annotations.
When a Word or Excel or Image(png,jpeg) file is attached using the Annotations paperclip, the initiator can initially see and open it. But after Publish Comments is selected and the review file is closed, the file "Name" changes to "Unknown" (although the Description has the correct file name and extension). The Modified information is Unknown, as is the Size and Compressed Size.
When the review file is then re-opened, even the initiator cannot open the file, although:
The file location is marked with the paperclip within the document.
The file name is shown in the Comments List with the initiator's name.
In the Attachments list (the paperclip beneath the Thumbnails and Bookmarks) the Name appears as Unknown, Description shows the file name, Modified is Unknown, Size is Unknown, and Compressed Size is Unknown.
The file Name cannot be edited, although the file Description can be.
We have followed the procedure described in the tutorials but cannot figure out how to troubleshoot this situation. Since this feature was the reason for the purchase of Adobe Acrobat Pro IX, we would any help. Please don't leave out any basics since we are all new users.
We have several people with Adobe Acrobat Pro XI and the rest have Adobe Reader XI and it is a Windows platform. Can someone please give us some advice how to get this feature to work as described?FYI Rave,
There are some other forum entries with this exact same issue...:
Cannot Open Attachments in PDF
Why does the file Name for file attached with Annotations "Attach File" (paperclip) become Unknown when Comments are Published?
Can someone help us get the COMMENTS ATTACHMENT TOOL to work as described in Acrobat Pro XI? -
If I am making photo albums in iWeb, what is the ideal file size for the photo file?
My camera now is 7 megapixel, so the original file sizes are about 3 MB, obviously that'll be very slow to load.
To what file size should I save it to make it load at a reasonable speed and still have a reasonable quality? 500 KB? 200 KB?
In case this is a factor, the typical album I make would have about 40 - 50 photos.
Also, what are the best ways to batch converts -- making a group of photos 500 KB instead of 3 MB? I know a few time-consuming ways (ie. individually resaving the files) or using a thumbnail-making program (have used a program called Thumbs Up).
Any other suggestions? Thanks.If you are importing your photos directly from iPhoto to iWeb, they will be scaled down to a max dimension of 800x600. If you are using a photo template page or making a gallery page using the following method...
http://www.mac.com/web/en/Blog/013C4180-4787-4847-BAAB-319222AFC652.html
...iWeb will also make your thumbnails for you automatically.
For all your other freeform pages that you might make, it is always a good idea to size your photos down to their usage size. A good rule of thumb is to consider the width of your page, which by default is 700px. Then divide it out by how many photos across you expect to have roughly. So 3 photos across 700 pixels means that the photos should be scaled to roughly 233 pixels wide maximum. Just a rough approximation is fine.
The reason I recommend doing this is that if you drop in a 2500 pixel wide image into iWeb directly, and you only plan on using it as a 233 pixel wide image on the page... iWeb will do a fine job of scaling the photo down to size BUT it will also save the full resolution photo as part of your web page....not to use, but just for safe keeping. And if you ever discover the RSS feed on your website, you will see that iWeb makes all of these high resolution photos available for download, too! So beware if you value your original work! Don't feed them directly to iWeb.
