Thumbnails display briefly, then disappear.

...Also full size images are replaced by gray triangle symbol.
iPhoto version is 9.6.1
Thumbnails show as I scroll, but disappear within a second or so. I'm left with:
Double-clicking on the blank thumbnail results in:
I have two iPhoto libraries; one on AirDisk and one local. Both have same problem.
All this seems to have begun after reinstalling Yosemite, which was apparently a very bad idea in this case.
Edit: Also, I've run all the iPhoto repair options. They reported success on repair, but problem persists.
Can anyone suggest a way out of this?
Many thanks,
Jerry

Terrence,
Thank you very much for your assistance. Here's what I find with Show Package Contents.
I also appreciate your suggestion on the AirDisk. It's a simple change to plug the outboard drive directly into the MBP as needed, so I'll definitely do that in the future.
The content on the external drive is the bulk of my photographs, and the internal drive I just use on the road for quick work on small projects.
Here is a screen shot of the Masters folder expansion on the local HD:
Here's the view before expanding Masters:
Those are my photos, and they appear full size and all there.
Thanks for helping.

    Hi NicoMan,
    According to your description ,we seem to suffer a performance issue here.
    Have you tried to open the task manager to check the system performance  ? Is there any specific process occupied many system resources ?Will the issue occur only with the specific applications ?
    We can try to restart the Windows Explorer process to have a check.
    If it only occurred with the spefcific two applications ,we can try to end the other application processes manually from the task manager to have a check .
    If this is caused by the specific application ,we may need to look for help from the third party support considering they are all the third party applications .
    Best regards

  • On ebay front page summary the 'ended' list title appears briefly, then disappears - only happens of Firefox on the imac.

    When I log onto ebay and go to the front page with a summary of my account, under the Watch List there are headings for all the items. As the page loads the heading for 'ended' appears in the bar, then disappears.
    I've tried deleting the tab; removing cookies, but it keeps happening. This is only on my Apple imac, using Firefox - on my Windows using Firefox it's fine.

    mixalis88,
    I appreciate the suggestion, but that did NOT fix the problem. I, however, HAVE fixed the problem...I now use Google Chrome as my browser.
    It may not be perfect, but it correctly displays the websites I visit most, and I dont get that Goddamn annoying re-direct page in Google like I do in FF.
    I use to LOVE FF...but until they work out the bugs, I'm done with it.

  • Captivate 6 does not launch - flashes briefly then disappears

    I just installed the subscription version of Captiavte 6. When I try to launch the app, the screen briefly flashes for a second or two, and then disappears. The app itself does not launch.
    I am on Windows 7, 64 bit. I have a prior version of Captiavte 5.5 (which for various reasons I have not uninstalled yet). Help!

    You can have any number of Captivate major versions installed on your PC and they don't usually interfere with one another.  (I happen to have versions 3, 4, 5.0, 5.5, 6.1 on my laptop.)
    Are you launching Cp6 using Run As Administrator?
    If you had previously installed a trial version of Cp6, did you delete the Preferences folder before upgrading or installing 6.1?  If not, then do so.
    Sometimes Captivate crashes due to corrupted fonts.  The usual debug process is to go to your Windows > Fonts folder and cut/paste all non-default fonts out to another folder so that you can check if this is in fact the issue.  If Captivate then launches successfully, you start re-installing fonts until you find the one/s responsible for the crash.

  • IPhone email appears briefly then disappears

    When not at my desktop, certain emails appear briefly on my iPhone, then disappear. When I get to my desktop computer, they are present. It seems that emails to or from that folder are the ones affected.
    I thought it might be related to a POP account seeing the email on one device and removing it from others, but I have archived my email accounts and created new IMAP accounts.

    Here is the fix that worked for me:
    If you are using FireFox (if you weren't using it you wouldn't be here) and look in your extensions for a Searchbar by Zugo. Uninstall it and you should be all set.
    Tools > Add Ons > Extensions
    Thanks to 7thSinger who posted the fix here:

  • Many of my photos appear briefly as I scroll down the page then disappear leaving a box outlined with a broken-line.  The menu bar says that I have 300 pictures hidden, but I am unable to get them unhidden.

    I am experiencing difficulty with iPhoto '11.  Some of more recent photos can not be accessed.  As I scroll down the page of photos, the most recent ones appear briefly, then disappear to be replaced with a box outlined by a broken-line.  The menu bar says that I have 317 photos hidden.  Hiding photos is not something that I normally do, can't imagine why these are hidden.  Anyway, when I try to unhide the photos, I can view them as an event, but if I click on a single photo, or try to move it into an album, the photo does not display.  Instead I get a dark exclamation point within a triangle.  Another problem with these same photos is on the event page there is no key photo for these events only a dark screen.  I can't find an answer to my problem.  Has anyone experienced this?  What is the problem and how can I correct it?  

    The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
    Option 1
    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. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords 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. .

  • Ipod touch will no longer sync my songs, they show up for a few seconds then disappear help

    for some reason when I try to sync my songs to my ipod touch, they will all show up briefly, then disappear once I hit the sync button?  very frustrating, have never had this problem in the past, any suggestions would be great

    If you haven't tried it yet, I'd eliminate memory issues first.  Close all of the apps with the double tap on the home button method

  • TS5174 We have iPhotos in a shared folder. When my partner tries to view some photos(not all) they flash open, then disappear. This doesn't happen when I log in and open them. Any ideas would be welcome. Thanks.

    We have iPhotos in a shared folder so both my pertner and I can access the pictures.
    Recently, when my partner tries to open some of the more recent pictures, they open briefly, then disappear. This doesn't happen with all of them, and there doesn't seem to be any link between those that do, and those that don't.
    When I try to open them, they open with no problem, and remain open until I close them.
    Has anyone any solutions, please?
    Thanks.

    A shared folder is not sufficient to share an iPhoto library. When you open the library from your account, the ownership and permissions of library items changes.
    The safest way to share a library is to put it onto a separate disk or disk partition with the "Ignore Ownership on this volume" flag set. See this document on how to achieve this:
    iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1198

  • Photos uploaded by other users appear then disappear

    I have two separate accounts set up on my iMac for my wife and I plus a shared account where music and I thought photos were stored.  My wife and I both have administrator level access and shared read and write access to each others' pictures.  IPhoto itself shows that everyone has read and write access.  We each upload pictures to iPhoto.  When I'm logged in and iPhoto is lauched, when I click on a photo that my wife uploaded when logged into her account, the photo appears briefly, then disappears to a black screen.  When my wife is logged in, she similarly cannot see photos that I've uploaded when logged into my aacount.  Can anyone help with this?  Many thanks!

    What's a "Shared Account"?

  • On ebay, auction photos appear then disappear.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

    I have been using PE and PRE 9 for e few years, I just purchased the upgrade bundle PE and PRE 10. My problems are :-
    Having installed the PE 10 after falling into all the traps eg installing without Norton 360 running, Disabling Adobe Bridge, and learning to disable running programs without FEAR using the Task Manager.  I thought I had conquered all the install problems.  I then clicked on the ICON behold the organiser sprang into view, breifly about 2 sec then disappeared from the screen. The Task manager shows that the program is running.
    I spoke to Support by chatting with someone for about 1 hour but ended up being told that they could not help me and gave me a phone number to ring in Australia. I rang this number to be told to wait asIi was being transferred, this wait was for 2 hours, I tried again and waited for 1 hour no answer.
    I am waiting to see if any one can help befor trying to install PRE 10
    Thank all you good souls who rush to aid such as me

    Dear Ken I sent a long reply but I dont think I sent it correctly.
    Here is the abbreviated version
    1     Found and loaded the 2 shortcuts
    2     still unable to load the program   the organizer starts is visable for 2 seconds  then  minimises and flys into cyberspace    
    3     The Task Manager displays that the program is running.
    4     I have started receiving  The instruction atxxxxxxxxx ref memory at xxxx could not be read and Font capture photoshopserver.exe application error reports.
    5     I have uninstalled and reinstalled 3 times with no success
    6     As I am in the middle of movie making quite ok with PRE 9  and  PE9 with huge data files, I am not willing to risk losing any projects
    7     Thanks for your help and maybe ifyourself  any one else reading this (including Adobe Support) has any suggestions I would greatly appreciate it
    8      I have another computer almost identical which I installed the program on and it is working fine the I call this no 2 machine   the number 1 machine is giving me the trouble

    I fixed the issue. It was related to the DEP settings on my windows machine.

  • Firefox begins to start but then stops before loading any screen. Profile manager/safe mode appear then disappear. Task manager shows programs briefly in CPU then they disappear. Uninstall & reload makes no difference. Any ideas please ?

    When we clicked as usual on the firefox icon the egg-timer started then went off. Nothing started up.
    Checking the Task Manager showed firefox.exe briefly using the CPU then it dropped off the list.
    We tried to uninstall and reload from the mozilla site (http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/firefox/). Installation seemed to work ok, but the same problem recurred when we tried to start firefox.
    Did this again, this time removing bookmarks, etc. same result.
    Tried to use the profile manager - the screen came up but disappeared before we could use it.
    Same thing happened when we tried to start in safe mode - screen briefly appeared but then disappeared.
    Tried googling in IE to solve the problem but nothing seems to apply.
    Have run all security checks but no apparent bugs or problems.
    Have had to abandon firefox and use another browser. How do we get it back please ?

    Did you check your security software (firewall)?
    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.
