Thumbnails gone, PLS help!

Hi,
I sold my old Mac Mini some weeks ago and copied my iPhoto library (iPhoto file) to my NAS, while I waited for my brand new Mac Mini to arrive.
Now it has arrived and I copied the iPhoto library file to /User/Pictures/ so now I have it set up as /User/Pictures/iPhoto.
Then I fired up the application and chose the iPhoto library file I just copied in to place from my NAS.
All 6000 photos are there but there are no thumbnails! Not in Events, Photos, Faces or any other place to tell the truth. When I double click the empty thumbnails the pictures is shown and everything works fine.
Here are some screenshots:

I have tried the CommandOption+Shiftdouble click the application and checked all the checkmarks, regarding rebuilding library and thumbnails etc., without any luck
The application always says "Rebuild thumbnail cache" right after starting up for a few seconds.
Please help me I would really HATE if my library is ruined!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That's one of the pitfalls of housing a library on a drive that isn't formatted for OS X Extended (journaled).
Control click on one of the blank thumbnails and select Show File from the contextual menu. You'll be taken to the folder (via the Finder) that contains the original file. If you find you have the original files try rebuilding the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - 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
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - 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 untouched for further attempts at fixing or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory .

  • All data gone pls help

    Hi, 
    I had massive problems with my applications on my Blackberry Z10 (STL 100-2) after I once used the flight mode. The battery was warm, some apps did not start. I decided to reboot the phone and it was just stuck on the blackberry logo (not the loading circle). I tried everything, pushing the power button for 10 seconds, battery pull, connecting to the PC with USB with and without the battery, loading on the wall charger for one hour, then taking out the battery for a millisecond, while the phone was charging and then putting the battery back, another battery from a properly working device and and and. The phone was stuck in the loop. If I tried to shut it off, the LED was red for couple of seconds and then it showed the BlackBerry Logo again, for hours. In the beginning of this catastrophe I just left it like that for hours but it got so warm that I did not want to risk the motherboard to melt. 
    I did not want to factory reset the divice (restore), since I did not have a backup of my stuff (I usually don't connect my phone to computers). The most important were my Remember app notes so the application data (or settings data?) 
    Finally I decided to do a software update as I actually thought it wouldn't do anything to my data. At least it was written on the official Blackberry website: "Data and settings on your device before you begin updating your software will be on your device when the software update is complete." I visited the BB website and after one hour my phone booted but all data was gone. 
    I updated the software using the BlackBerry website but it required to start BlackBerry Link. Today I have found an interesting folder: Application Loader (User-AppData (hidden folder)-Local-Research in Motion-Application Loader...). There are two big files, format .bar and .signed. According to the time it was saved at it was was BEFORE the update had been started. I read somewhere that by updating a BlackBerry with BB Link the phone system will be backuped automatically. So it could probably be the backup files. However it is not the usual file format .bbb or .ipd. and these are two files. 
    Any Ideas what these files are? How can I open them? 
    My files have to be somewhere. I really need my Remember App notes (they were not synched mit Evernote or something like that). I also never used an SD Card or "Backup pro" or "Password keeper".
    The new Software Version is 10.2.1.2977 (OS 10.2.1.3247). I have already tried it with couple of recovery tools like Recuva however it did not work since my phone is not recognized as a flash or physical mass storage device. In my computer it is shown as networkaddress so non of the recovery tools is able to access the internal memory. The mass storage mode is by the way only for the inserted sd cards... 
    Is there a possibily to recover the notes despite the update (or 10 seconds reset) with help of both .bar and .signed files? Or any other ideas? Please help!!!!
    Many prethanks!!!

    there is no way to get native access to the device like you can with a USB drive on a PC with recovery software
    if link did a backup, then you should be able to restore from that backup

    The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required.

    You need to return the Device for a refund, as you will not be able to re-activate it.

    Thanks

    I do not understand what "it says in the windows connect to itunes" means?
    What is "it" and what is "windows"?
    Maybe:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    Or
    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or                     
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    paying special attention to item #5
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

    I have a 2010 Macbook Pro and am a very new user to Mac community only started to use this PC a few weeks ago.
    My Mac is just hanging and I am unable to shut it down or do anything at all.  I left it for 2.5 days hoping the battery will run flat but it is not working. Pls help! I am desperate. Tx

    In order to resolve the issue if it occurs again, more info would be helpful as to what occurred prior to the "hang." One potential fix would be to try a Safe Boot:
    After the Mac is completely shut down, push the power button and immediately after the startup tone, hold down the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone but not before.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    There should be a message that says "SafeBoot." After the Mac is completely booted, try restarting and see if the issue is gone.

    It's unfortunate that your device has been stolen.  You can report this to the police, but as has been answered before, if the device is restored you CANNOT locate it. 
    It probably is technically possible to track your device by the SIM; law enforcement will not waste their time doing so.  Besides, the thieves have probably changed it anyway.
    While unfortunate your iPad is gone, you really need to move on.

  • N80 Problem. Pls Help!!!!

    My N80 has a big problem. After installing the latest firmware V5.0719.0.2 RM-92 through nokia updater, I cant hear sound from my ear piece. The keytone sound has gone eventhough is activited in the profile. I can only use the loudspeaker to hear sound and voice from call.
    Is it the firmware problem or my hardware????
    If it is the firmware problem, how can I reinstall the previous version?
    Pls help!!!

    Yes, that sounds just like a worn ribbon cable. Perhaps you should get it replaced. I am not sure where you are but supposedly it only costs RM50 (€12)to replace in Malaysia, so not too expensive.

    I finally bit the bullet this morning and set up my iPad as a new one after backing up. It didn't wipe out my stuff like I thought it would, but I did have to re-set all of my synch settings including apps which took a while to set up. My apps were still on the iPad with the 'sync apps' tab unchecked so I checked it and matched up all of my apps on the iPad screen using iTunes before I hit apply. Once that was done, there were a few apps that moved over to the second window, but was easily fixed. Everything's back to normal - assuming all of the videos and music you had on the iPad are in your iTunes so you don't loose anything. It kept my music, but deleted my videos. Other data was still in-tact. I never had to re-enter any passwords for Facebook or Netflix, but my email was all gone (not missing it since it's all online anyway). Hope that helps.

    1 - Select  the thumbnail of one of the problem photos and use the File ➙ Reveal in Finder ➙ Original menu option.  This will take you to the folder containing the original file with that file selected by the Finder. 
    You can also use Find Any File to search for that file (get the file name from the Info pane in iPhoto). You will find the thumbnail version and maybe an edited version also.  Made sure what is found is the large, original version and note were it's located.  Search all of your drives with FAF just in case.
    If you don't fine the full sized version then the only recourse is to use a file recovery application like   SubrosaSoft FileSalvage on your drives to see if any of your full sized photos can be recovered.   If you find enough files to make the purchase of the software worthwhile buy it and recover the files.  However, since it may have been quite a while since you discovered the missing originals it seems unlikely you'll be able to recover any due to being overwritten.
    2 - book projects are just entries in the library databases and can't be exported to another library. 

  • PLS HELP ive lost all my data during the upgrade!

    Wednesday night i upgraded to ios5 the upgrade seemed to take a long time and hung right at the end of the instalation.  A pop up screen appeared saying that i could complete instalation at a later data so i decided to do that.  I did back up before the instalation took place.
    Now however i cant retrieve any data, everytime i restore it will try for a few minutes then i get this 'itunes could not restore the iphone beacuse the backup was corrupt or not commapible with the iphone that is being restored' then the iphone is wiped and ive lost everything, 4 years of names, photos, contacts, texts everything gone.  I then restored the backup directory from a previous backup on time machine, about two days earlier and one from the previous month.  I have tried to restore the iphone again with these older backup and its doing the same thing error massage as above.
    Can someone pls help me i even went to apple yesterday and they couldnt help they were like 'well you'll just have to start the phone from new'.  Thats easier said than done.  I have multiple backups on time machine i cant believe they are all corrupt, or is this to do with iTunes?
    Help pls!!

    Sorry but I think all your current stuff is gone since you restored from an old backup.

    Um.....
    I'm not sure what you expect anyone out here to do about that. First off, make sure they're really gone. Check HD/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple. If they're there, you just need to reindex. If not, you need to reinstall them.
    There's no other way to reinstall them besides finding your DVD's, or going out and buying new ones. There's not some magical website where people who lost their DVD's can go and download all of the content.
    My suggestion: Keep track of valuable stuff, like expensive software, and keep other people off of your machine. You're lucky he didn't accidentally delete your System folder.

    No one here can do anything about it. If you can't locate it with Find my iPhone, then it's gone. Probably for good.
    Report it to your carrier and the police. If you did not have it locked with a passcode, change all of your passwords.
