Thumbnails disappear before my eyes??

Hi
I've just upgraged to CS5, when I go in to a folder of images using Bridge I can see them all as previews then before my eyes random ones start to disappear and are replaced by the Mac Jpeg logo. What I can't understand is why it is only happening to some. The photos were taken at the same time and are of a similar size? If I purge the cache the same thing happens again, only some the jpegs remain as previews?
All help gratefully received - it's driving me crazy!
Just noticed something the ones that aren't appearing say 'Dot Gain 20%' in the info panel - the other ones say 'Adobe RGB'?
Many thanks

That is a strange problem, could you specify a bit more. Are they right out
of camera or are the developed using ACR?
Could you provide a screenshot?
And can you try to copy them to a new folder to rule out folder corruption.
And are all the files on your system or do you use a network?

IPhone 6 notes disappeared before my eyes

While accessing the notes on my iPhone 6, they disappeared before my eyes. I don't have a yahoo account and they weren't sent to my charter email - any clues as to where I should look next? I'm quite frustrated as there were some important notes there.

Had you every backed up your phone to iTunes or iCloud?

Please, please help! Photos in library disappearing before my eyes.

When I open up the iphoto library, my picture thumbnails disappear one after the next--from seemingly random places, though mostly on the right hand side)--before my eyes. My worry is that I am going to loose all my photos.
History: I have never had any problem with my iphoto program. I have never altered, moved, or renamed anything in the iPhoto library folder. I always work from within the program itself. A couple of days ago, I got a message saying I was running out of hard disk space and that I needed to eliminate some items in order to make more space. I clicked on the iPhoto trash and emptied about 2000 photos from it. After that when I scrolled in the library, the photos began to disappear and leave gray shapes with dotted outlines. No picture appears when they are clicked on.
I called the Apple Care support. The fellow I worked with suggested that I should try rebuilding iPhoto and sent me an article on how to do that. He also said that I will need to have as much free space on my hard disk as the size of the library is. The library is 16,000 MB. There are 6,000 MB still available to use. He said NOT to open up the iPhoto program until I had rebuilt the program and then he rang off.
I'm pretty innocent of how computers work and it wasn't until I realized that it's the photos and Quicktime movies from my camera themselves that are filling the disk space and that there isn't much else filling up the disk space (novels and poems and letters don't take up much space it turns out!) that I realized I am in a Catch-22 situation. How to eliminate things when I can't open the program for fear of losing all photos?
I have some but not all photos backed up on DVD. My husband has a selection on his computer but does not have the DVD burner capacity. He could burn the photos he has on a CD, but that would take forever. We do not own an external hard drive, but I am wondering whether I should see if I can find one--that's easier said than done since we live out on a headland in Ireland pretty far from everything. The closer Apple store in five hours away.
One other possibility I've come up with: we have an old PowerBookG4 which still has about 22,000 GB available on it. Could it be used in some way to hold the photos from my computer (The MacBook) as I try rebuilding the iPhoto program on my computer (the MacBook)? We have a firewire.
We are going to Paris next week, and I want to be able to take a ton of photos (my great joy!) without worrying that I'll have nowhere to put them. (Memory cards are expensive here.)
Any help would be very appreciated--thank you in advance. And I'd also be grateful if it were couched in the easiest to understand computer language possible (don't assume I know a whole lot.)

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
1. Go to your Pictures Folder. In their is a folder called the iPhoto Library Folder. Inside it is a folder called Originals, and that contains Roll Folders. Your pics should be inside there.
That's: Pictures / iPhoto Library Folder / Originals / Rolls
So, first off, confirm that your photos are there.
2. Yes you do need to clear off disk space, and yes, your iPhoto files and any music you have a good candidates for moving to an external disk. You can purchase an external disk from the online apple Store (http//:www.apple.com/iestore is the Irish AppleStore) Look for the 'Storage' link on the left hand side. They'll ship it to you in three or four days (in my experience)
3. In the meantime, rebuilding your library will require disk space. It's not difficult, and doesn't take very long. If you have Firewire on the old Powerbook then here's what you do:
1. Turn Off the Old Powerbook. Connect it to the Macbook using a FireWire cable
2. Hold down the 'T' key and start the Powerbook. A Firewire symbol will appear on the screen, and the PB will turn up on your MacBook desktop, as an external disk.
3. Copy the iPhoto Library Folder (from your Pictures Folder) to the PB - just drag and drop it to the icon on the desktop.
4. Confirm that your Pictures have crossed over safely. Then double check. And then check again, because...
5. Put the iPhoto Library Folder in the Pictures Folder of the MacBook into the trash and empty it. (Note: Be sure that your pics are on the old Powerbook!!!) (We have to trash the iPhoto Library Folder from the MacBook to make space for the rebuild.)
6. Launch iPhoto on the Macbook. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library Folder on the PB and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual rolls to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
Note this will give you a working library with the same film rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, books, calendars etc.
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.
This should give you a working iPhoto Library on your Macbook.
But you still have a space problem, and you should deal with it as a priority. Once you have got an external disk, post back and we'll go through how to put your library on to it.

Safari history disappeared before my eyes

I was viewing my history (first time since upgrading to Yosemite) and whilst doing so, and without touching anything, my history disappeared except for 2 sites for yesterday (I had viewed dozens yesterday and was in the middle of looking for one of them). Everything else vanished. Since then all my history for yesterday has disappeared too, so I only have history for today. I can't find a reason for this in my settings - I have my history set up to delete after a year and I definitely didn't click to delete history.

I just upgraded my MacBook Pro to Yosemite tonight. When I checked Safari Preferences, the previously-set History retention that had been two weeks had reverted to one day. I did not see that any other prefs had changed but that one was definitely different.
So I suspect it is an upgrade issue within Safari.

Messages disappear before my eyes!?!?!?!?

Don't know if this is a .mac issue or a Mail one.
I use Mail to collect mail from two .mac accounts and one POP account. Sometimes, when I collect mail, I literally see a message appear in the inbox, then disappear. It does not go into the junk folder, and there are no rules set up to immediately delete messages.
I saw a knowledge base article about this phenomenon (52339), but it talks about another mail app, not Apple's Mail app.
Any ideas?

Same problem here, some all day appointments are being changed to 1/1/2000. It seems that only the all day appointments that I have changed are doing this - when using iSync the conflict says that all day appointments cannot be changed on the phone - then the date is changed in iCal to 1/1/2000. It seems like a problem with the phone - but not sure. I have resorted to not using the all day event function on iCal and block the time.

My Photo's are disappearing before my eyes

Whoa! While looking at my sent msg it disappeared before my eyes!

I went back to another message I had just sent few minutes earlier and it was gone too!!
Could this be related to my recent system upgrade to 6.1.2?
I use iPhone 4
More importantly how do I fix it?

Thanks for the quick response. I'm not sure if I can answer your questions but I'll try:
Question 1:
Not quite sure what the "root level" is but here are the various account folders I can see in this directory: G5/Users/rmcanulty/Library/Mail/
[email protected]@imap.gmail.com (an active account)
And this strangely named folder:
Mac_mcAnulty/ containing
/INBOX.imapmbox
/Attachments/
/Info.plist
/Messages/
Also, within the Mail directory there is also a "Mailbox" folder containing the same three items as the Mac_macanulty folder (see above):
/INBOX.imapmbox
/Attachments/
/Info.plist
/Messages/
Question 2:
Yes, MobileMe='the cloud.' Both the gmail account and the .mac account are set up as IMAP accounts in my Mail.app Preferences. So I'm not aware of the the server (MobileMe?) having been accessed by a POP account.
My questions:
1. Is it possible that the messages are still on the server, but inaccessible to me for some reason?
2. Where should I drag the messages (.emix files) I was able to recover with DiskRescue?
Thanks again
Bob

1 GB Gone in 15m - Disk Space Ticking Away Before My Eyes

(I have searched the forums here and elsewhere to the best of my ability, and haven't found a discussion of rapid space loss like that here. Forgive me if I've overlooked, and thank you for pointing me in the right direction.)
My disk space is disappearing before my eyes. In the time it tooke me to right the sentence, the count went from 14.77 GB to 14.72. It's only that much because I've been moving things off the drive to create more space. Earlier it ticked all the way down to 65mb, and I couldn't start the computer anymore. I've looked at various threads about freeing space, and I'm applying those suggestions, but the problem is that the space is disappearing almost as fast as I can clear it. I used Whatsize (paid, non-appstore version), and didn't see any enormous strange folders. I did notice that, back when I was at 65mb, Disk Utility showed the disk as having 999 GB on it, while Whatsize said 984.
Any help would be very appreciated.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Thumbnails disappear in Grid

I have used LR since v1.0 with every single update in between and never had any major issues with LR including out-of-memory erros, upside-down red text on pics, adj. brush performance, now ahve run into this problem.
Thumbnails disappear just before the final high-quality pass. Scrolling out and into view make them redraw, just to disappear again together with the three dots. The neweste thread on the topic I was able to find was dated Sep, 2007: Grid thumbnails disappear after 1/2 second . It didn't solve my problem.
Some observations:
The problem only affects JPEG images, all other work fine.
Filmstrip is not affected, only grid view.
It's only when the thumbnail info includes the file extension, both in compact and extended mode. (see screenshot 1 and 2)
Metadata panel info is not shown for affected images. Keywording panel is fine.
Synchronize folder fails (does nothing) if the folder has at least one JPEG.
Exporting to a new catalog doesn't cure the problem.
Importing images into a fresh catalog does solve the problem.
Trashing prefs, TranslatedStrings.txt doesn't help.
Since the only thing that helps is a fresh catalog, my conclusion is catalog corruption. Unfortunately this is not an option for me: too many collections, VCs, flags and stacks lost. I need to cure the catalog. Binary, the catalog seems to be fine — it's been optimized and it passes the integrity test. Also I have opened it with 3rd party utilities (SQLiteSpy).
I attached a small catalog (change extension from .txt to .zip, sorry) with 1 image that exhibits the problem. It was exported form my main catalog.

That's what I did and, voila, my catalog is healty again! :-)
For the record, Daniel found that this behaviour was caused by a null value in the sidecarExtensions field of the AgLibraryFile table in the catalog. It has to be an empty string ("") rather than null, otherwise Lightroom goes nuts. Why was is null? Because I did it myself, stupid me. Too much fooling around with my own catalog.

I am using iCloud email and my emails are randomly disappearing before I can read them. They are not in any folders on my iPhone and I am having to call apple to have the last 7 days of email sent to me in order to retrieve what is being lost.

I am using an apple email account and my emails are randomly disappearing before I get a chance to read them. They are not anywhere on my device, not trash, junk etc. The only solution from apple has been to resend me the past 7 days of email in order for me to retrieve the missing emails. This has taken me hours on the phone with apple support with no solution. I just don't know what to do. They have gone over the settings with me and nothing has solved the problem. I don't know where to start since it is happening on all my devices.

Control-click on the background of the view all pages window and select "Preview Calendar" from the contextual menu.
You can also save the pdf as a file to compare to the printed calendar. If the two names are visible in the pdf file then the printed copy should show them. Contact Apple for a refund. Apple Print Products - Apple Store (U.S.)

     Hi Frank.
     I have just had jb Atlanta's problem while adjusting the contrast on a photo. I was creating a slideshow at the time. After a lot of reading up I was about to give up when I tried restoring the file to its original settings as you suggested. Bingo!
     However, that would only work for me, if I restored the settings while in the slideshow. All data had 'disappeared' when I attempted to open the photo in its original project folder.
     Hope this is of help. Many thanks.

TS4002 Having upgraded to 10.8 some emails are disappearing before I can read them.

Having upgraded to 10.8 some emails are disappearing before I can read them.
They are present for about a second, display as notified, but are not going to junk or Trash.
The problem doesn't affect all emails and seems to be restricted to some senders.

What ype of account is this (IMAP / POP)?
Perhaps it's setup on another system (computer, mobile, etc.) and downloading there, while removing from the server. You may also have email rules moving it automatically or marking as SPAM.
Changing your password may seem drastic but will ensure your current setup is the only one with access to downloading/archival of the email, and you can then eliminate other possibilities as mentioned above.

Thumbnails disappear

why do the thumbnails disappear in iphoto for the iphone 4 when you put the privacy mode on sometimes is it a glitch or its a way to do it

The thumbnails have not disappeared. In the first screen you have displayed the apps for which there are privacy settings on your phone. You have then tapped on PHOTO and the second screen gives you details of settings of apps on your phone for which you have not allowed access to your photos. I do not see a problem here

Thumbnails disappear before my eyes??
