Thumbnails won't show in Organizer

I have loaded quite a few of my video clips into the organizer. I can see they are there, but they have not thumbnail image. So it's difficult for me to tell which video is which. I can click on them individually to see what the image is, but that is not efficient at all! I cannot tell quickly at a glance what video is what.
I have loaded the latest Quicktime on my computer.
Any other suggestions?

Your first try at "Update Thumbnail" gave great results. However, the results with the next other five was not so great. In trying to explore the why, do you see any difference in the files, that is, was the first file from one camera and the other from a different camera?
There are 2 ways to get thumbnails into the Elements Organizer.
a. Elements Organizer and its File Menu/Get Photos and Videos/from Files and Folders
and
b. Just import the file into Premiere Elements workspace with Premiere Elements Add Media/ and get the file to the Timeline. When you do that, automatically a copy is placed in the Elements Organizer as a thumbnail there.
Your iPhone5 and iPod Touch 4th generation videos should be going into your Elements Organizer (one way or the other). So, from the point of view of video formats causing the issue, the why is not obvious.
When you import video into a Premiere Elements project, automatically a copy of that video is included in the Elements Organizer. Have you tried that route to get the videos into the Elements Organizer rather than importing the videos into the Elements Organizer first?
So, when I wrote the above in a prior post, I wanted to see if "a" and "b" were giving you the same result when you wanted to view file thumbnail(s) in the Elements Organizer.
Let us be in sync on the above.
We could explore creating a new catalog. How much content do you have in the present one? But, we can go into detail on that at whatever level you feel comfortable with.
We will be watching for your results.
Thanks.

Video thumbnails won't display in organizer (win 7)

after importing jpegs & mpegs into premier 8 the pics display as thumbnails but the videos do not. Instead just a film strip icon with the name of the video. the video wont play in the organizer. However video thumbnails display & play if I open them in a project. strange???!

With your MPEGs, it depends on how your system is set up and if they are compatible.
But, with JPEGs, the thumbnails simply may not have been generated yet. It takes a while (depending on how much media you have on your computer and how fast your computer is) for the Organizer to build your initial catalog and generate all of the thumbnails. Be patient. Each time you turn your Organizer on, it's working. Eventually they'll show up -- and then they'll be there for as long as you keep your catalog.
NOTE: The exception is if you are running the 64-bit version of Windows 7, which is not yet fully compatible with this program.

Photoshop won't open my raw files and Bridge won't show thumbnails

Hi,
I'm having trouble with my Photoshop CS6 and Bridge CS6 on my Mac. It's been working fine until a few days ago, but now the image thumbnails won't load in Bridge, and I'm not able to open RAW-files in Photoshop (same thing happens when opening both from Bridge or in Finder).
When trying to open the files in Photoshop a pop up message shows up saying this:
"Photoshop cannot open this file.
If you are attempting to open a raw file from a digital camera, make sure you have the latest Camera Raw update installed via Help > Updates.
If the problem persists, visit the following link for more information:
http://www.adobe.com/go/kb407111"
I'm not able to click on updates, so that won't help me much. What can I do to get it back to normal again?

I do not use a Mac but Windows as delivered from Microsoft does not generate Thumbnails for RAW files or even Photoshop Files like PSD in order to seen the in Windows UI like Windows File Explore (Mac Finder) or in File Open and selection Dialog one needs to install some windows add on. I use FastPictureViered Codec Package, When installed on Windows I can have the thumbnails your looking for. Perhaps You need some Mac add on or Apple Update the see thumbnails for RAW files. I see things like this on the web Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 4.06

Bridge sometimes won't show jpg thumbnails

Sometimes when saving a photo from ACR as a JPG, Bridge won't show the thumbnail. It seems a random thing for some show and others don't. If I click on the thumbnail it will open in PSCC. Then save as a TIFF and it shows. If I change it back to a JPG, then it shows up. Anyone have any idea why this is happening?
Thanks,
Sue

It is a cache problem. If it happens again choose the thumb icon and with right mouse click menu choose 'purge cache for selection' then it will build a new thumb and it shows correctly.
If it happens in one folder choose the folder and in menu tool / cache choose 'purge cache for folder'.
If happening on multiple folders even a purge of central cache is needed either in preferences or on start up holding down option(Mac) or control (Win) key and choose this option from the menu that shows.

I edited clips and then re uploaded the rendered versions into the organizer and now the thumbnails aren't showing up. how do i generate the thumbnails?

Thanks for the reply with the very helpful details.
Export from Premiere Elements 12/12.1 Publish+Share/Computer/MPEG with Presets = HDTV 1080p29.97 High Quality
I suspect that we are in a no win situation here - an Elements Organizer 12 issue.
With Elements Organizer 11, 10, and 9, I can bring your MPEG2.mpg into the Elements Organizer with thumbnail with
image. I cannot for Elements 12. And, I am working with the same MPEG2.mpg in Elements Organizer 9.0/9.0.1, 10, 11,
and 12 on the same computer. In the morning, I will look Elements Organizer 13 as well.
In my work with 12, this MPEG2.mpg consistently crashed the Elements Organizer 12.
It is difficult to explain these results by invoking a missing codec theory since all was done with the same sample on the
same computer.
More later.

Why doesn't a saved slide show in PSE-6.0 show in Organizer?

Two questions:
1-I've created a few slide shows in Photoshop Elements 6.0 (running Windows Vista-64) and until recently have been able to find and reopen/edit them in Organizer. For some reason none are showing at top of Organizer, even though I can find the file in folder Adobe:/PhotoshopElements/Catalogs/CIB Catalog/Projects. I've even reinstalled PSE6.0 and still won't show newly created slide show projects. Any ideas of what I need to do to be able to create, save and then go back to work on a slide show? My goal is to create a slide show to copy to a DVD for viewing on a TV and don't want to try and do this all in one session.
2-Why are the photos not linked to the correct folder when I try to open and edit it, even after I've just reinstalled PSE-6.0? I don't want to go thru the Browse option to relink up the thumbnail to the original photo.
Thanks very much in advance and I looked up previous discussions about "slide shows" but didn't see this discussed, so sorry if this question has already been covered.

For the slidehshow thumbnail --
I have always been able to find my slideshow thumbnail in the Thumbnail view as long as I had the Media Types to display set to include projects/creations. I would not expect to find the slideshow thumbnail using Folder Location and definitely not using Import Batch (because a slide show is not part of an import batch) . You did not post your current setting for Media Types, so I suggest that you investigate its setting.
However, your problem with the photos showing on the Z drive is probably more serious
One odd thing I've just noticed is that all files in PSE-6 show the
files being on the "Z" drive, but they are on the "C" drive in Windows
Explorer. I am using a cloud based storage service (Trend Micro's
SaveSync) and it designates the "Z" drive as the cloud drive, so this is
odd.
My second question is related to all my photos, not
just ones I've tried to organize into a Slide Show Project. I've tried
different photos in many different folders and all of them show the same
message of "Searching for Missing File". Since I just reloaded PSE-6
I'm very surprised by this error.
If by "reloaded" you mean reinstalled, then the relevant fact is that the reinstall does not modify the Elements Catalog (which is where those pointers to the photo file location on the Z drive reside). So a reinstall of the PSE software would not have an effect here.
Unfortunately, I can not predict or even guess how the Trend Micro SaveSync works and what it would do that would make the PSE Organizer think it should look on the Z drive to find your photo files. The Search for Missing File is most probably caused by that Z drive reference.
All I can suggest is
-- look in the Organizer Preferences for a preference about reconnecting files automatically and set that preference to NOT reconnect automatically so that you have better control of when and how the info about photo file locatin that is stored in the elements catalog is modified .
-- then use the thumbnail view within the Organizer and right click on the thumbnail for one photo and then choose the Reconnect of a single photo
-- can you reconnect that single photo successfully and have it show the C drive as its location ?
-- if yes try a few more photos
-- if you can reconnect several photos, then I suggest that you read the following for a suggestion on how to reconnect many photo files

Don't use reserved words in JS
var event = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("events.xml", "catalog/event", {sortOnLoad: "date", sortOrderOnLoad: "descending"});
event is such a reserved word. If you change this to event1 then all is well.
I hope this helps.

7d CR2 files won't show in Bridge CS4

I've run updates through Photoshop and Bridge trying to get my 7D photos to show as thumbnails in Bridge. They simply won't show and I can't find a way to make them show. When I try and open a CR2 file, the image opens in ACR 5.7, which i know isn't the latest version, but when I try to run updates again, it tells me there are no updates to install. Help!

clearyjohnp wrote:
…I found my CS4 had ACR v5.2...so I downloaded the v5.6 update…
You should be running ACR 5.7, not 5.6.
All updates to ACR contain unannounced, unpublished bug fixes and improvements, not just support for new cameras. You should always run the latest version of ACR your version of Photoshop supports.

IPhone 5s won't show up in iTunes

I bought an iPhone 5s today and after it was fully activated and working, tried to hook it up to my computer. It said my itunes had to update, however it wouldn't update so I uninstalled itunes and downloaded it off of apple's site. This time it downloaded and when I checked itunes for updates, it said it was at 11.1.5 and current. However, when I plug my phone in, it won't show up in itunes. It registers on the computer and the phone asks me if I want to trust this computer, to which I answer yes.
I've tried checking the apple mobile support and stopping and starting it again along with anything else to do with the mobile. I've tried reinstalling, restarting and pretty much everything I can think of.
My computer is a fully updated, windows 8.1 HP

And the other night while i was trying to sync my phone, it was working until "Error message (-50)" started coming up every time i tried to sync or update my phone's software through itunes on my computer. eventually, itunes quit and i unplugged my phone and updated it wirelessly. i have no idea why any of this is happenings.

Hello macr888,

iTunes never displays the iPod in the left pane?
iTunes is shipped with a "helper application" called the "iPod Service" that runs and is used by iTunes to communicate with the iPod device. This service may be disabled.
If your system is Microsoft Windows XP and you are logged in as an Administrator:
1. Quit iTunes and, if your iPod is currently connected to your computer, safely remove it using the system tray application to manage removable devices.
2. Right click on "My Computer"
3. Select "Manage"
4. In the "Computer Management" window, left pane (tree view), follow this path:
+Computer Management (local) > Services and Applications > Services+.
5. In the right pane, scroll down to "iPod Service" and double click it.
6. If the service is listed as "Disabled" and "Stopped," change to "Manual" and "Start" it. ("Manual" will cause it to start when iTunes starts and "Start" starts the service right now.)
7. Close "Computer Management"
8. Restart iTunes and wait for it to completely come up.
9. Reconnect your iPod.
Does your iPod show up in iTunes?

I have an audiobook that I purchased via iTunes and it won't show up on my iPad, but it's everywhere else, iPhone, iPod and computer?

IPod won't show up on itunes or mac, freezes, and doesn't play bought songs

Okay i have four issues with my iPod
1. It won't show up on iTunes or on Mac desktop
2. When i plug it into the USB port it freezes and say 'Do Not Disconnect'. It will not come out of this
3. Every single song i have bought won't play on my iPod. They transfer fine, but when i click on a bought song it simply skips over it
4. I authorized this computer but songs still need authorizing, and i have already authorized them
So we bought a new Mac and i plugged in my 30 GB video iPod for the first time. It showed up in iTunes then so i synced it to our new computer. Then i tried to listen to my bought songs and they simply wouldn't play. The iPod just skipped over them. I had one song out of three hundred or so that were bought actually play. Then i tried reauthorizing my new computer and getting rid of all the old computers that had been authorized. That didn't work, and the songs that actually needed to be authorized wouldn't be authorized even when i clicked on them.
So then i unplug and just listen to it as is for awhile but then i try plugging it in again and it just doesnt show up on my Mac desktop or iTunes. And the screen becomes frozen with the same message, 'Do Not Disconnect' I wait for a half an hour for it to show up and it never does. I have no choice to unplug it and then it is still frozen with that same message. Five hours pass, and it is still like that. It finally goes off and then it simply doesnt work. So i plug it in to my charger and its fine except the whole not playing bought songs business.
Please i beg if you have any answers to any of these problems HELP!!!!!
