Why do thumbnails not match file

I just opened a large project and found thumbnails that are completely unrelated to the files they're supposedly representing. I'm re-creating them, and hope they get straightened out, but don't understand why this should happen.
I have pics on internal drive; nothing changed in a year or so. Why this all of a sudden?
Thanks

Yea that *** - I assume based on the timeframes you just mentioned you are using Aperture 2 - take a look at this:

Why are my thumbnails not matching photos?

Why are my thumbnails not matching the photos in my smart album?

I am rebuilding my thumbnails--a slow process I am learning. We'll see how that does. I believe I have the latest version of both iPhoto and OS. What happens is that the thumbnail does not match the photo. The photo in the thumbnail is in the same series, but not the same. Many of the thumbnails are the same photo from the series. I'll report back on the success of the thumbnail rebuilding process.

Why can I not open files saved on a server?

Why can I not open files saved on a server?

I think I figured it out. I set the compatibility mode to Windows Server 2008 (which is the OS on the server we are using) and it opened just fine. Whoop Whoop. Thanks for your help.

Why is Spotlight not finding files in Applications Support

Why is Spotlight not finding files in Users/UserName/Library/Applications Support ?
What needs to be configured to do that?
Thanks.

CMD+F, click on Kind, select Other, and enable additional criteria. See http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/stopspotlightindex.html and http://homepage.mac.com/francines/articles/Leopard/leospot.html for starters.

Thumbnails not matching photos

I was organizing photos in iPhoto '11 and noticed some thumbnails do not match their photos. Does anyone know how this could have happened or how to fix it?

Database corruption
Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your thumbnails - this may take a few attempts

Why is Thumbnail not the same picture as photo?

I just imported some pictures from my digital camera, but the thumbail photo is different from the actual picture. Any ideas how to get the thumbnail to match the photo?

I got it resolved. I had to Rebuild Thumbnails. If you need to do this it is easy. Quit IPhoto, Hold down Command and Option. Reopen IPhoto. When screen comes up choose Rebuild Thumbnails, then hit Repair. It will take awhile if you have lots of pictures. But it goes through two different processes and then Iphoto reopens and all is well again!

Thumbnails not matching underlying pictures

When I open an event in iPhoto '08 the thumbnails do not consistently reflect the underlying photo. When I double-click the thumbnail, a different picture come up, the one that matches the ID info.
I have a relatively large file (over 20K pix) stored on a USB drive attached to a Time Capsule so it can be accessed from various Macs, all running OS 10.5.5.
Is there a way to rebuild the thumbnails? I am running the most recent version of iPhoto so the option of waiting for the automatic rebuild with an update isn't in play.
Thoughts?
Thanks!

When I option-launch iPhoto,
What you’re missing is the apple key
*hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys* while launching iPhoto.
The Apple key is also called the Command ket, it’s located just left of the Space Bar.
Re other users, just me. I only access the Library from one machine at a time to prevent corruption.
But are you editing or organising over a Wireless connection?

Slideshows - Thumbnails not matching slides.

We've built a site using several slideshows. When publishing on our end, we are notified that the client has made changes to the slideshows - we accept the changes and publish. However, now most of the edited slideshows have mismatched thumbnails and slides. We've tried several times to remedy this with no success. Below is an example.
St. Croix Sensory | TRAINING
Everything looks fine when the client makes changes, but after publishing, things get whacky.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

I logged in as the client to edit the site, via in-browser editing.
I changed the thumbnail and slide image to match. Went back to Muse to publish the site, was notified of the changes made to the site, accepted the changes, and published. Checked the page and the thumbnail was correct, but the slide image was not.
What in the world?

Why is spotlight not finding files in a folder (I know the files are there)

I've been having trouble with spotlight. I've done all the possible means of resetting spotlight folders via pref pane and via command line. Either way I go about it spotlight is not working properly.
My test for this is to search in folder for a file I know is in there. But, spotlight in finder isn't finding the file. Why? What prevents SPotlight in FInder from seeing files that are there? None of my drives are in the privacy section of the spotlight preferences.
Leopard 10.5.6 Mac Pro

this is certainly not normal. it looks like spotlight indexing is choking on something. if this continues you should probably stop it. look in the console log. there may be a record of what it's choking on. you can try deleting the hidden spotlight folder at the top of the drive. this will restart indexing and delete all the current spotlight data. if it keeps doing this I don't really know what to suggest. you can try excluding various folders on the drive from spotlight to see if you can isolate where the problem is.

File Name of Image Displayed in PSE 8 does not match File Path Name in Windows 7

I recently got a new computer .I upgraded on my Windows XP computer from PSE 5.0 to PSE 8.0. I then moved my files to the new computer running Windows 7 following the instructions I received on an earlier post. I copied the catalog folder and the picture folders on the C drive from the old to the new computer (catalog folder to location specified in System Info; images to My Pictures).   Everything appears to have worked beautifully without having to go through a big Reconnect struggle. The organzer appears to have found all of the images and I can bring them up in Editor as well. However, when I look at the properties of a given image the full file name displayed is what it was on XP, i.e., C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\My Pictures\<folder name>\<file name> rather than the path as it is in Windows 7, i.e., C:\Users\<user name>\My Pictures\<folder name>\<file name>. I am new to Windows 7 so maybe I am missing something unique to Windows 7 but I would appreciate any information.

You're observing the special folder aliases that Vista and Windows 7 create to preserve backward compatibility (Microsoft keeps changing how and where users' documents are stored).   On Windows 7:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\My Pictures
is a special kind of alias to the folder:
C:\Users\<user name>\Pictures
(And C:\Users<user name>\My Pictures is yet another kind of Windows 7 special alias, a "library", that includes the folder C:\Users<user name>\Pictures.)
Whenever an application like PSE refers to the old location, C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\My Pictures, Windows automatically translates that under the covers to C:\Users\<user name>\Pictures.   But Windows Explorer is configured to prevent you from accessing C:\Documents and Settings\ interactively -- only programs like PSE are able to do that. Microsoft wants users of Windows Explorer to always use the "new" name, C:\Users\<user name>\Pictures.
In your case, your catalog contained the old XP folder paths, and Windows is automatically translating them on the fly to the new paths, unbeknownst to PSE.
Like most such backward-compatibility hacks, this does not work perfectly. PSE thinks that the old path and the new path refer to two completely different folders. I'm not positive, but I think there are opportunities for PSE to get confused by that.   When you import new photos, they will get recorded in the catalog under the new folder paths.
In my previous recommendation for how to move to the new computer, I had assumed that you would most likely be changing user names and photo locations, and thus you would be forced to do a Reconnect, and you wouldn't have encountered this. If I had thought you weren't going to need a Reconnect, I would have recommended not using this method but rather using Backup/Restore (my first recommended method) -- my bad.
It may well be that your current catalog and PSE will work well enough.   But there is at least a small risk that down the road PSE will get confused by the old and new folder names. The easiest way to avoid that risk would be to start over and use the Backup/Restore method for moving your catalog, whch is more effort on your part. But because I don't fully understand the risk, I can't tell you whether you should be worried about it.   Definitely do some testing: editing, importing and editing new photos, use Display > Folder Location view, try renaming and moving old photos to new folders, try the Photo Downloader, etc.

Why am I not seeing file.encoding option in file sender/receiver communicat

Good Morning Everyone,,
I am not able to find file.encoding option in both sender/receiver communication channels on my XI system. Is it something to do with Java Runtime character sets installed on the XI system?
Do we need to setup something to make it available? thanks in advance...

Hi,
Please specify File Type parameter as Text (By default it is Binary)
For File type parameter Text the file encoding will be displayed, UTF-8 is by default encoding used.
Please see below links also

Why can I not open file?

While always "error opening file-file cannot be found." When buying tickets for shows that are deliverred through internet, often the file cannot be found or there's error opening file? Seems to me that Adobe shoold have solved that problem by now?

Files downloaded from the internet are frequently located in a temp folder. If you then try to open the file in Reader it may not be there because the temporary file may now be gone. You need to ensure the pdf you are trying to view is saved in some more permanent location.

Why can I not attach files

When I try to attach a file on a web site my only option is to open file.

I also cannot attach files on websites. For instance, I am job searching and I can't attach my resume to the website www.Barr.com. This is not the only website that I seem to have this problem. In fact, each time I apply to a job, my iPad does not allow me to attach a file. I have to copy and paste my resume. So frustrated..... This needs to be fixed ASAP..... Slightly disappointed.

HT5527 Why can I not share files anymore now that MobileMe is gone?

Previously, I could send large files to clients via links with MobileMe. I cannot find how to do this anymore. Is this option still available?

No, iCloud does not provide such a service. Look inti Dropbox or Sugarsync for iDisk-like features. Basic accounts are free.

Why can I not export files as epub in Pages '09 4.0.3 Lion?

I was wondering why there is no option to export files as an epub format in Pages '09. Any ideas?

You need at least Pages ´09 v. 4.0.4, If you don't want Auto Save in Pages stay away from 4.1.
This page will let you choose which update to download (look at the right column)
