Windows explorer is not displaying thumbnails ( as it was earlier) instead it is showing default program icon

Hi have been reading the blog for two hours now and I am no closer to a "fix" for this for  our network users. All users on the SOE build now cannot view  or preview image files in windows explorer it is showing just the default icon for
all images files in a folder in Windows Explorer. Is ther a permanent fix to this problem that we can add to out SOE build or to the a windows update that Mircosoft has released?

Hi,
Here're two settings we need to check:
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Folder Options, under "View" tab, untick "Always show icons, never thumbnails "
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\System, in the left panel, click "Advanced System Settings", then under "Performance" tab, click "Settings", under "Visual Effects" tab\Custom, find "Show thumbnails instead of icons", tick it.

  • Windows explorer no longer displays devices after ios 8 update

    I recently purchased an IPhone 6 and IPhone 6 plus and noticed that they do not show up in Windows Explorer when connected to a Windows Desktop.
    I recently updated 2 iPhone 5s and 2 iPhone 5, and noticed that prior to performing the IOS8 update, the devices appear in Windows Explorer as a storage device and I was able to copy all the photos from each of the device onto the Windows Desktop. After updating all of them to IOS8, none of them or the IPhone 6 show up as a storage device. Can anyone tell me if this is intentional or if this has something to do with the fact that the CAMERA ROLL was removed? I did read in other forums/news indicating that there are efforts to put CAMERAL ROLL back. In light of this, does anyone know if this will allow the devices to display in Windows Explorer again?
    I don't have a major problem since I copied all the contents from the Iphone5 phones for backup prior to updating to IOS8, but kind of annoying if I have tons of photos on the phone and don't want to waste my time deleting them on the phone. I find it faster when using Windows Explorer to delete unwanted photos or add photos I want.

    I was having this problem too, even after updating to iOS 8.1
    iPhone 6 plus was recognized by iTunes but not Windows Explorer.
    Unplugged USB, unlocked phone (lock screen pin code or fingerprint) and reconnected to USB.
    When prompted press Trust this computer and yippee the phone pops up in Windows.
    The bit I had overlooked was unlocking the pin code on the phone.

  • IPhoto6 - after a full reistall of Snow Leopard, iphoto does not display thumbnails. I've restored from time machine, rebuilt the library and run through the rebuild thumbnails function with no success. The files are there, I just get a dotted outline.

    iPhoto6 on iMac running SL - after a full reistall of Snow Leopard, iphoto does not display thumbnails. I've restored the library from time machine, rebuilt the library from iPhoto and run through the rebuild thumbnails function with no success. The files are there, I just get a dotted outline instead of the thumbnails. Does anyone have any other ideas on how to restore the thumbnails?

    Try the following:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    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
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    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 left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • 7th Gen iPod Classic was unplugged during sync, now it pops up in Windows Explorer, but not iTunes. How can I fix this?

    Okay.
    I have a Windows 7 x32 OS, and an 80gb Silver 7th Gen iPod Classic.
    So, I bought an iPod used off of eBay and I recently decided that 80gb was a bit too much, so I was going to resell it on eBay and buy a smaller iPod.
    While I was restoring it to set it back to factory settings, my computer shut off due to a power problem.
    Now when I plug it in, I get a message from windows saying "You need to format the disk in drive :M before you can use it. Do you want to format it?"
    It shows up in windows explorer as a Removable Disk, and it isn't being detected by iTunes. I plug it in the iPod says "Connected. Eject before disconnecting." with a symbol that it makes when it is syncing.
    I've tried putting it in disk mode, and it still will not detect it.
    Can somebody help me? I really don't want to be stuck with a broken iPod.
    If anyone needs or wants any more information before they can advise, please feel free to tell me what you need to know and I will post it!
    Thanks, and have a blessed day.

  • Folder appears in Windows Explorer, but not in the Open File dialog

    Hello,
    I hope this is the right place to post this. If not, please let me know where is.
    A friend just showed me a weird problem he is having with his computer. He is using Windows 7 pro, and has a folder under My Documents, in which he keeps his work files. He emails these files using Gmail, which he accesses via Internet Explorer.
    All worked fine until a few days ago, when he noticed that when he clicked the link in Gmail to attach a file, his folder wasn't listed in the Open File dialog. He looked in Windows Explorer, and could see the folder OK. I tried opening Word and using the Open
    File dialog there, and the folder wasn't visible.
    If he clicks in the address bar, and adds the folder name to the path, it opens the folder, but shows it as empty. I actually has two subfolders. If he adds the name of a subfolder, then the Open File dialog shows the files in that folder.
    I checked the permissions on the folder, and couldn't see anything odd. What I don't understand is how the folder can be visible in Windows Explorer, and not in the Open File dialog.
    Anyone any ideas? Thanks

    I can confirm - I'm having the exact same problem.
    When I try to lookup or save a file from an IE file dialog some folders do not show up. I can type the folder name into the directory field and it then goes there, but this assumes you know the directory name and it's a PITB.
    Firefox can browse to the directory directly.
    It would be interesting if anyone else found a fix for this - I'll post here again if I find out more somewhere else, but there are not too many threads out there as far as I have found for now.
    Found a solution over at answers at Microsoft dot com. (can post links here yet - will update once I can)
    In short: There's a fast fix for this issue by resetting a hidden flag that IE sets for some folders. I believe this part of the "protected mode" feature, though I can't confirm and also have no idea how this would protect me from any intruders,
    if only (unimportant) subfolders are protected ...
    Anyway - if you know the name of the missing folder (e.g. from browsing the directories form windows explorer): in the parent directory that has the folder missing do a Search (in box at top right) for the missing
    folder name. In my case the hidden folder shows up in the search - now right click -> Properties -> clear hidden flag. Note: this "hidden" flag is independent of the flags set in windows explorer - that's why you have trouble going there with IE and not
    the file explorer from the desktop.

  • FLVs created with ADOBE MEDIA ENCODER CS6 do not display thumbnails in ADOBE BRIDGE CS6

    Could you please attempt to shed some light on why FLVs created with ADOBE MEDIA ENCODER CS6 do not display thumbnails in ADOBE BRIDGE CS6, yet apple finder is able to display thumbnails for these same FLVs without issue?
    I'm running CS6 Production Premium with ALL updates installed on 10.6.8
    I appreciate any input and help provided the input is provided by someone who either
    A) knows the answer because they actually work for adobe
    B) actually tried this themselves before attempting to provide a solution
    If the conclusion is that it is a codec issue or a header issue with the FLVs You'd have to present a very strong case to back that claim up as it makes no sense whatsoever that CS6 is unable to generate thumbnails for media encoded using CS6, yet Apple finder can without issue. NOT to mention the FLVs in question are CREATED on the same machine with the same codecs installed that is trying to generate previews in Bridge.
    Apologies if my frustration is showing, I've gotten and seen several... incompetent replies on this forum regarding this issue and it has never been actually addressed properly as far as I can tell by Adobe support.

    We are all just incompetent users here.  As pointed out before this is just a user to user forum, Adobe rarely checks in.
    I was hoping by now you would have gotten to the bottom of this problem and were offering a solution.

  • .NRW files not displaying thumbnails in Bridge

    .NRW RAW files from Nikon P7800 do not display thumbnails or metadata in Bridge. PsCC, Bridge and CR 8.3 are all showing as up to date on CC Desktop App. Files display correctly in Lr 5.3. Any suggestions ?

    I have:
    PhotoshopCC>Edit>Preferences>CameraRaw>8.3.0.141
    BridgeCC>Edit>CameraRawPreferences>8.2.0.94
    The computer found  6 files  named Camera Raw.8bi.  They are in pairs , two in the CS5 folder and two in the CS6 folder, two in the CC folder. One of each pair has >Program Files(x86)> The other one has  >Program Files>.
    When I go to C:\ Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CC\File Formats\ only one (Camera Raw.8bi) file shows. This was created on 18 March 2013 and modified on 3 December 2013.
    If I go to C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CC\File Formats\ another (Camera Raw.8bi) file appears, created and modified same date and time as the first one.
    Is this making any sense ? Thanks for your help.
    It appears Bridge is using CR 8.2, the question is why and how do I persuade it to preference CR 8.3
    By the way, I failed to mention it previously CR is converting and editing the NRW files normally, I just can't see their thumbnails in Bridge.

  • Windows Fonts Will Not Display In Photoshop Elements 9

    Hi,
    I have a new Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit computer and have just installed Photoshop Elements 9. When I use the "Horizontal Text" tool and click on the fonts drop down list to select a font, it only lists a small number of fonts and does not display all the standard Windows fonts such as Arial, Times Roman, Verdana etc which all display perfectly fine in my other applications such as Word, Excel, Publisher, Notepad etc. Has any one got any ideas as to why all my Windows fonts are not displaying in the drop down list? Is there a special setting I need to configure for Photoshop 9 to see all my Windows fonts?
    Regards,
    Paul.

    Hi 99jon,
    Thanks very much for your reply. Yes I am using a Laptop and you were spot on. If I use the UP/DOWM cursor key's I can scroll through and see the list of all my fonts ok. I was originally trying this by using my scroll up/down wheel on my mouse and for some reason it will not scroll the list (I did not think to try the cursor keys) so thanks very much for your help!
    Paul.

  • [solved] Emacs in X windows - Characters are not displayed

    Emacs works fine when run with -nw.
    But when I run it without, in X Windows, emacs does not display characters properly. It just displays those whites boxes with the black borders. The ones you see when you're trying to view characters for which you don't have the right font.
    I installed XEmacs, and that worked fine. I don't understand why the normal Emacs doesn't.
    I'll post a screenshot when I'm home from work, but you should get the gist of the problem.
    Last edited by Weeks (2007-05-05 23:18:59)

    Yeah I figured that out when I got back home. It was my own fault for running emacs from Run Program in xfce instead of from the Terminal.
    However, I've installed that package along with the 75dpi one and it still doesn't work. I even ran fc-cache again just to be sure. Weird.
    The error is "Warning: Cannot convert string "-*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*" to type FontStruct" So perhaps it's a fontconfig problem. Both fontconfig and freetype2 as up-to-date. Hmm.
    [EDIT] I restared X and everything worked. Thanks. I've updated the wiki with the information. I'll send a diff to the maintainer at some point; the PKGBUILD should really tell the user that he/she needs to install these fonts if using X windows

  • Window borders are not displaying.

    Hi Experts,
    while testing Window borders are not displaying but in se71 T.Code,
    in menu option Utilities -> Printing Test it is printing the boarders.
    Please help me in this regard.

    Hi,
    In SE71, that is a print preview and it will show the window border to know which window is printing what value, but when you print the actuval one no window will give you the Borders,
    If you want the Border, then you need to mention the paragrapgh format, in the Paragrapgh format Press Outline tab there maintain the attributes, and assign this to the window

  • Bridge CC not displaying thumbnail/preview large PSD (win7)

    Hello!
    Latest Bridge CC, will not display thumbnail or preview of many of my large (1.5-3gb) PSD files.
    1) I have PURGED CACHE in Prefs
    2) I've individual cleared cache for individual PSDs.
    So, I just see the generic icon.
    My only reason for even using Bridge is to visually select from my large PSD/TIFFS without having to open them first.
    I'm pretty sure these same files previewd when I was running CS6 Bridge.  Lightroom 5's import will show the preview.
    Thanks

    It was strange since the thumbnails work in CS5.1 and 6
    Then you must have set them before to a larger amount, I believe the default is 1000 MB and has been so for as long as I can remember
    But I'm not sure about the generic icon because usually it shows a low quality thumb with black border, like the ones you get when using 'Prefer embedded' as quality.

  • The new iTunes 12 does not have a rent tab. I've downloaded two movies which appear in the Movies folder on my Windows Explorer but not in the actual iTunes programme itself. Completely frustrating!

    The new iTunes 12 does not have a rent tab. I've downloaded two movies which appear in the Movies folder on my Windows Explorer but not in the actual iTunes programme itself. Completely frustrating! Where can I find these two movies to watch? It asked me once it was downloaded if I wanted to watch it but I wasn't ready to and now can't find where to play these again.

    When iTunes/iPod sync process failed due to timeout, the iPod, has only the initilaised  filesytem structure at the start of the Sync.
    The timeout failure could be due to
    Bad hardisk - do the iPod disk diagnostic, refer to this excellent post by tt2
    Slow USB port or resource - Dont use any USB hub, disconnect all other USB devices while syncing
    Timeout due to Antivirus or other plugins - disconnect from Internet and stop the Antivirus or monitoribng software if you are syncing.
    Preferably stop doing other things while syncing this ancient device, which the latest iTunes designer, think will soon be extinct.
    Have a nice day!

  • Windows Explorer doesn't display some files until I play or get info for them in iTunes.

    Windows Explorer doesn't display some files until I play or get info for them in iTunes.
    How do I get them to all show up in Explorer without playing them all one by one?

    I think I solved the problem by going to File -> Library -> Organize Library

  • I accidentally cut instead of copied a folder of previously imported raw files. When I pasted the folder back I could see it in Windows Explore but not in the LR library. How can I work with these files again?

    HI,
    My daughter will often ask me to give her raw files I've taken at family events so that she can process them in her own copy of LR. (I work too slowly, apparently.) Recently I inadvertently cut instead of copied a folder. When I pasted it back I could see it in Windows Explorer but not in my LR library. I thought that re-importing the files might work, LR gave me a message that they were already imported. I expect there is a way to make the files available again in LR and would be grateful for some advice.
    thanks
    Ken

    The solutions is either of the following:
    Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders
    Copy the photos back into the exact same folder and folder location that they were in before
    I don't know what you actually did "when I pasted it back" ... but the bigger issue is that you shouldn't be working with these files in your operating system, period. Once you import them into Lightroom, you don't manage these files in your operating system.

  • Satellite A200-TH7 - Windows Explorer is not responding

    On random occasions (normally when I wake up the PC), and I click the volume control in the taskbar, nothing will pop up.
    Then I'll go to move the physical volume control slider and nothing will happen.
    However, at that point, I'll try to click anywhere on the taskbar, but it freezes and it says "Windows Explorer is not responding" and I have to restart the program. Once doing this, the volume control does not even appear on the taskbar. And if I slide the physical volume slider, Explorer freezes once more.
    I have Vista and its an Satellite A200-TH7.
    I have the volume on mute so I literally can't listen to anything now.
    If I restart the comp it'll work, but this problem occurs frequently.

    Hi
    Thats strange and I never heard about such an issue.
    Does the Explorer freezes in other ways too?
    Anyway, you should make sure that you have installed all Windows Updates and Service Packs.
    Furthermore update the AntiVirus software and search for Viruses.
    And follow the instructions posted by Jimi.
    Thats all I can say at the moment.
