My thumbnails are either missing or wrong. Any idea how to resolve this?

PDF thumbnails missing after optimization?

Hello. I have quite an urgent question. My business is sending out a PDF deck tomorrow and I am currently creating our PDF using 'Combine files into PDF' method in Acrobat Pro on Mac - default size compression.
When I finish creating the PDF (not optimized), all the pages are present. However, for the sake of sending the PDF in emails, I need to either Save As an Optimized PDF or Save As a Reduced Size PDF. I will be sending an Optimized PDF, but in both cases, as soon as Acrobat finishes creating the smaller PDF, I have page thumbnails missing/blank in the same places every time (pages 1, 5 and 33).
I have attached screenshots to this thread as an example. It's very odd, because the majority of people I've tested the PDF with say they have no issues with blank pages and that all pages appear fine in the PDF - both when viewing on computer and mobile devices, iPads etc. For me personally, the only issue with blank pages is when opening the PDF in 'View' mode - if I download the complete file there are no pages missing.
I was wondering if anyone can help me resolve this issue - I just don't want to risk sending this out to clients and some being unable unable to view certain pages in the PDF!!

After migrating, the iPhoto library appeared in the Library window in my left task pane of Aperture. I believe that the masters for the photos from iPhoto remained in iPhoto.
When I did the migration from my Time Capsule I pulled in my iPhoto Library and Aperture Library into my Pictures folder. Then I launched Aperture and everything looked great, except the thumbnails. The folder / project structure remained and both libraries were there. The pictures are actually there too. If I work on a single photo, the photo appears, but the thumbnails don't when viewing at a higher level such as a folder, project or all Photos.

Faces thumbnails missing after recovery from time machine

I got a new harddisk in my iMac via Apple's harddisk replacement program. I recovered all my data via a Time Machine backup (from a Time Capsule). All seemed fine after recovery of backup. When firing up iPhoto after the recovery iPhoto asks for updating all the thumbnails (don't know why). After a while everything seems fine - all photos are available with thumbnails in the events view. However all Faces thumbnails are missing - all persons in the faces view are black boxes. I can see that all the faces tagging are intact - when clicking a person I can see all the tagged images as black boxes. When switching the little "Faces - Photos" control to "Photos" I can see the photos containing all the tagged persons all right. I seems like it's only the face thumbnails that are missing.
So far I have tried the following without succes:
Repaired the iPhoto database with iPhotos own tool (holding Command and Option down when starting iPhoto)
Updating the entire library from an earlier backup
Updated the faces database files from an earlier backup as explained in this post
I'm out of good ideas now - can anyone help?

Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button,
and select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ 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 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

Web gallery thumbnails missing

when I publish a web gallery it seems to work. I can go to the gallery online and view photos.
When I go to another one of my computers to work in iPhoto the gallery shows up, but the thumbnails are showing up as question marks. What's up with that?
Am I missing something?
Thanks

I am having the same problem. On my second computer (ibook), when I go to iPhoto, I see the Web Galleries created through the first computer (imac), but I do not see all the thumbnails, only the dotted outlines. I have five galleries. One has all thumbnails, two have some of them (and outlines) and two have only the outlines.
I went to iphoto>Preferences>Web Gallery. Then I clicked the "Check Now" button to the right of Check for Updates (top row). Not sure if this is a program error, user error, or maybe even network error as I'm using my ibook on a different (and perhaps weaker) wireless network.

RAW thumbnails missing after iPhoto library rebuild

iPhoto would not open for me shortly after upgrading to Lion. I rebuilt the library using command + option with all checkboxes checked. All JPEG thumbnails were present, but all RAW thumbnails just showed a black box with a dashed line. When I double click the missing thumbnail, the image does appear in iPhoto.
I then rebuilt the library a second time, but the problem is the same. The iPhoto library is in the normal place on the startup drive.
RAW photos were generated with a Canon Digital Rebel and Canon 40D cameras. I do have Aperture on the system as well.

As I say, I've seen it take 4 times to work.
Other than that:
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.

Thunar avi Thumbnails Missing.

Hi, all.
I did a fresh install and imported my backed-up /home files. Photos and Flash files have thumbnails when I browse them in Thunar, but my avi files don't. As far as I'm aware, I've got the relevant thumnail packages installed, and Tumbler, too.
Any ideas why the avi ones are missing?
Many thanks,
Chris.

Hi, skunktrade.
I can report that I do have it installed. I had this problem a LONG time ago and I think it may be to do with the different file extension which are defined in /usr somewhere. This is where Thunar used to check for thinks it could generate thumnails for.
Thanks for trying.
Chris.

Thumbnails Missing in Vista Explorer Large & Extra Large View

I've noticed that thumbnail images are missing in the Vista explorer (View > Large/Extra Large Icon). I used to see a preview image in the explorer window without having to launch Acrobat Reader version 7.xxxx. I never use the preview pane, it was never necessary when the thumbnails provided a quick look inside the PDF document.
However, after installing version 8.1.1, these thumbnail images have disappeared and are now replaced by the generic Acrobat icon which came with the latest version. What's with that??? Do we HAVE TO upgrade from the free reader version to the pay version to get these previews?
This is not a Vista problem! This happened just after installing Reader 8. Images such as bitmaps, Photoshop psd files, png's, video mpg's, mpeg's and wmv's, for example, all display thumbnail images of the content in a Vista explorer folder window. But the PDF files only show the generic icon.

Why are my open tab thumbnails missing?

Samsung Galaxy S3. Until today I could see a "stack" of thumbnails representing my open tabs when I click the "page" icon in the upper right corner of the browser window. This would allow me to easily jump from one tab to another. Now when I click on the "page" icon I see only the thumbnail representing the currently open page. If I scroll up in the thumbnail area I will scroll through the open tabs. Scrolling down closes the selected tab. I can not get Firefox back to its original settings. Please help or I will have to uninstall Firefox and install another browser.

Hmm, my tabs screen looks the same as other recent versions. Could you double check both the non-private and private tabs (the two icons at the upper left of the tabs screen) in case your missing tabs are in the other category?

Photo Stream Thumbnail Missing

iPhoto '11 (9.2.3)
Recentely retrieved iPhoto library from Time Machine backup and found issues with photo stream pictrues.
Photo Stream Mar 2012, Feb 2012, etc. thumbnails are missing in events. When you click/select the even it opens to a list of empty thumbnails. When you select the empty thumbnail it opens and shows the picture.
In some cases in "photos" it shows an entire list of the same randam image. Again, when you select the photo it shows the correct photo.
How can this be fixed??
Many thanks in advance.

Did some searching and came across this solution:

One thumbnail missing from a photo album on iPad 2

Hi,
I have an iPad2 (iOS5) and have a few photo albums on it. In one album, while the actual photo is there and visible, the thumbnail is missing. In its place is a gray box with a ? in it. Tap on that and the full image appears. Film strip also has the box with the ?. I'd like to get the thumbnail back. I've tried rebooting but that did nothing. Ideas? thanks!

You can only copy photos into albums that you've created directly on the iPad. If the albums were synced from your computer then the only way to add photos to them is to copy them into the folders on your computer and re-sync them - you can't add photos to synced albums directly on the iPad

Cs6 photoshop layer thumbnail missing

The cs6 photoshop layer thumbnail is missing when I work with layers. The background layer shows, but when I use duplicate or new adjustment layer it's a white blank. This just started. Help?

This feature will available to you on June 17th when Photoshop CC launches along with the rest of the new CC apps.
Sorry to get you all excited about these new features, only to leave you hanging with a month-long wait.

Ipod touch photo thumbnails missing

I transferred my iphoto library from a macbook pro to a new flat panel mac, both running 10.5.8. After syncing the photos, the names of the albums show up on my ipod touch, but the icons are scrambled or missing. If I touch one of the blank placeholders (where a photo should be) the photo appears. So, I am missing the thumbnails on the ipod touch. iPhoto works fine on the new machine.
In other posts, mention was made about the ipod photo cache in the "package contents" of iphoto. When I look in there, no ipod photo cache on either machine.
Have tried resetting the ipod, removing all photos from ipod and resynching ... but the same issue. Am guessing it is a cache file, but I can't find it. Any suggestions before I take the ipod back to factory settings? Not sure that will even do it if the computer is copying a goofy cache file.

Well over a hundred views and no ideas .... guess I will have to give them a call ... yuck.

Events and project thumbnails missing after moving to new computer

I just helped a friend to move to a new Mac. I have copied all her personal data to her new computer, so iMovie Events and Projects are present in her new Movie folder. However, after opening iMovie '08, all events and project thumbnails are missing. How could this be? Is there perhaps some library file that keeps track of all this that I need to copy as well? Is there a way to re-link iMovie with the events folder?

Try this:
First, make sure you've quit out of iMovie. Then go to your Movies Folder > iMovie Events > and then into the folder of the even that's giving you trouble. Drag the folder "iMovie Thumbnails" to your trash. Then open the folder "iMovie Cache" and drag the file "Cache.plist" to the trash. Restart iMovie. It should rebuild the thumbnails, and by regenerating the .plist file, it should have the data it needs to reed the new thumbnails into iMovie.
It worked for me. Hopefully it will work for you too.

Thumbnails missing from a keepsake

I have created two keepsakes from the same event as I wish to create two books of a particular trip. Each keepsake and the event show 1803 photos. However, on one of the keepsakes, the first as it happens, a number of thumbnails are missing (5 consecutive photos that I know about, but I haven't checked all 18903 photos in each keepsake so there may be others. However, those specific 5 thumbnails are displayed in the second keepsake). I am using an up-to-date version of iPhoto '09 (8.1.2) on an intel iMac under OS X 10.6.8.
Apart from starting a new keepsake and re-making it (and I am up to 100 pages, so would like to avoid this if possible), is there any way of either correcting the problem (that is, making the thumbnails appear) or adding them to the existing keepsake?

This is a self-answer.
After much experimenting, I have found that if I duplicate the photos in the Photos Library, then drag both the originals and the duplicate to the keepsake, then the duplicates appear (and are usable) at the end of the list of thumbnails. Not perfect, perhaps, but it works.

IPhoto event/album thumbnails missing

Since updating
iPhoto '11 ver. 9.2.3 (629.52)
the event key photos are missing (Picture 1) and the thumbnails for the actual photos are missing as well (Picture 2). I have not reinstalled iPhoto nor have i taken any other actions to solve this issue. the image files are still present and within the iPhoto library (Picture 3) however this issue is purely cosmetic.
note: I have rudimentary technical literacy and i have tried troubleshooting through the support web-site/several forums.
please advise.

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.
