Frequent loading of thumbnails or large icons

I have a problem with a computer, but not with each other, so I suspect there is some "setting" that is the cause.

Every other day or so when I open my pictures or my videos, the thumbnails are dependant, a line at a time. When each file is opened, the same thing.

Any suggestions as to why - and how to fix?

Thank you

Try to clear the cache of thumbnails.

1. click on the button 'Start '.

2. Select 'all programs '.

3. Select "Accessories".

4. Select 'system tools '.

5. Select "Disk Cleanup".

6. Select your boot (C: Usuially) drive in the drop-down list and click 'OK '.

7. once the analysis is complete, scroll to the bottom and place a check in the box of "thumbnails".

8. remove the check marks from all of the other boxes.

9. nothing shall be verified at this point, with the exception of the "Thumbnails" box

10. click on the OK"" button.

11. When you are prompted, click on the button 'delete files '.

On your first attempt, it may take a few moments to recreate the cache but then tiles

should load quickly.

  • Lost the ability to display thumbnails in WIN 7 (large icons)

    I have seen this posted several months ago, and there was no real solution.  I looked everywhere on the web, and I still have to find a solution.  I can't believe that nobody has a solution, but... I'm starting to think that I'm stuck with the problem I have.

    BACKGROUND: WIN7 PRO, ACROBAT 9 STD (LAST PLAYER IF INSTALLED)

    PROBLEM: I have thousands of. PDF in hundreds of cases.  When I go to a particular file, I chose view to large icons.  The "thumbnail" is more fills and all I see is an icon of WIN.  That I have updated various. PDF, I have change some colors on the homepage - it allows me to look at a file and know what components are updated, and what items should be updated.

    TROUBLESHOOTING:

    1. Open Acrobat and selected the file > Open (in this dialog choose extra large, medium or large icons and wait) - this worked last year when I had this same problem with a system running Vista - NO CHANCE
    2. Tools > folder options > view tab (always show icons, never thumbnails is disabled)
    3. Restored the default folder settings and unchecked always shows icons - NO CHANCE
    4. played "Repair Installation of Acrobat" - NO CHANCE
    5. Uninstalled and installed just Adobe Reader - NO CHANCE
    6. Uninstalled Reader and performed a clean install of Acrobat - NO CHANCE
    7. Register 'edit' for ShellEx under class .pdf (seen it out there for the same problem with .gif and .jpeg so thought maybe? grasping at straws but worth it)- NO CHANCE
    8. Restore the system to 'before' issue started happening - No. L KLA

    Short of reformatting my system and starting over, I'm out of ideas and found nothing new on this out there (the last post was in 2009?!).  Would not really solve the problem but rather to subordinate the issue disappear until it pops up again.  I find the reason that what is happening 'out of the blue"and a solution.  I have not tried all the options "third party" and would like to stick with the help of all that worked up until this last week - ACROBAT.

    Thanks for any help there - sorry to duplicate a thread, but I've not seen this recent when I did a search here.

    Windows Explorer.  Using large icons, I can't see a picture.   The picture flashes for a second then appears the default icon (a lake and mountain). I can only view a photo in the photo library.  This just started happening.  What has gone wrong?

    Miniatures,

    Open your my pictures location, click on organize in the upper left corner, click folder and search options, click the view tab and uncheck the top option, always display icons and never thumbnails, select apply and save.

    Return to your location of my pictures, change the display of the page on the top of the right side next to the question mark symbol, there is another symbol with a menu drop-down symbol, click it and select the medium or large icons options specified.

  • Large icons problem

    I have my files set to large icons, so the small image shows me what is the file (in particular for jpeg files, as I have a lot I would never find otherwise). It works well at the start, but whenever I go on the net, after about 10 minutes or so something weird happens. Images stop loading on all the web pages I visit, and all the large ceases to display icons at the same time.

    Can someone tell me what can happen here, and how can I solve the problem?

  • How can I change the height of the menu bar to allow my large icons/buttons maintain their size?

    I've recently updated to FF31 FF28. Totally different user interface, I get that. I waited to update until I psych myself to try something different. I have the default theme Australis and Noia Fox Theme, which is designed with the larger icons/buttons for those with Visual needs. On my screen at this moment, I have the title bar, menu bar, tab bar and toolbar url/addon with the menu "Burger" on the right. I placed icons in the bar of menus, kept the House icon in the bar of the addon, and then there are the default icons in the menu popup. When I activate the Noia Fox Theme, look great icons in the addon/url bar, even in the popup menu; clear, large, easy to see. However, the icons in the menu bar (not the menu popup) are less than half their size origin/destination. So I'm going to default Australis theme, reboot and same problem, but not quite as dramatic as the default theme is smaller at first.

    My thought then, is that there is a setting in the menu bar which resizes the icons/buttons for a small default size. This setting can be changed to allow icons to keep their size original (or near it) and if so, how? I like the location of the menu bar on my screen, underneath the title bar above the tabs bar. Works very well with the new Fox only better addon that attaches to the tab bar and mask the url bar, a 'new' for me and I love him. I know that I can get the CTR with an additional bar and I tried that. The question, then, is that the extra bar appears below the tab bar and that it is not moveable to above the bar below the title bar and tabs.

    For the moment, I have just the two themes, security addons added and The Fox but better. I haven't added any other addons of appearance again in order to minimize potential conflicts/problems. I have not tinkered with internal FF by default not to follow the other parameters to tell me (I think that's what I did). To the best of my knowledge limited, I kept the changes and customizations to a minimum. And Yes, by your feature of conjecture to posted questions, I'm under Win 8.1 and 31 FF.

    I think I've offered sufficient detail so that others may try to reproduce the problem. Otherwise, let me know and I'll try to answer as soon as I can. Thank you very much for any help offered.

    You can also try code like this that I posted before on icons placed on the menu bar:

    #toolbar-menubar > toolbarbutton > .toolbarbutton-icon {
      height:24px!important; width:24px!important; margin:-3px!important;

  • Image capture does not load the thumbnails of all the photos detected

    MacBook Pro (retina, 15 inches, end of 2013), 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3,

    iPhone 6 s, iOS 9.0.2

    OSX using 10.11.5, running the Image Capture

    Connecting iPhone and started the image capture.

    Capturing images don't load picture thumbnails.

    Left the application here to give time for it to load, but still the same

    Exit and restart Capture of Image, some of the miniatures that failed to load previously managed to load, but a lot are all still not loaded.

    Exit and relaunch Image Capture, some of vignettes that has not charged the 1st time and instructed the 2nd time, failed to load now. seems to be back to square 1.

    Its a hit and Miss sort of thing.

    This has been hard for some time already, can't remember how far behind you.

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hey there, at0m87!

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. I understand from the information you provided, when you connect your iPhone and open picture Capture, there are missing thumbnails. I manage my own photos on my Mac, so I can understand wanting and needing these thumbnails to display correctly. I have a few things you can try to help him.

    1. Eject your iPhone from the computer and stop Capture of Image. Press in and hold the SHIFT key on your keyboard while reopening of Capture of Image again. Connect your iPhone and the test of the miniatures.
    2. Restart your Mac. Stop the Image Capture, eject your iPhone from the computer, and then click the menu  Apple in the upper left corner of your screen. In the menu, choose "restart". When you start the computer, open picture Capture and connect your iPhone. Test the thumbnails.
    3. Look for updates on Mac and your iPhone.

      The following article will help to check and install updates for your Mac.

      Update the software on your Mac

      The following article will help you to check and install updates for your iPhone.

      Update the software on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch iOS

    4. Check Image Capture thumbnails in safe mode. Eject your iPhone from the computer, and then follow the steps outlined in the article below the link to start in safe mode

      Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning

      Even if the title of the article is not specific to your question, safe mode is always a good step to take. It performs several checks of your system during the boot process, and disables some software that could cause a conflict.

    5. Try the Image Capture in a new user account. The article in the link below will give you instructions on the implementation of a new account, as well as some information as to why this may be useful.

  • After installing the latest updates, my screen on large icons, screen too big for my moniter

    the only way of difficulty was to uninstall updates.

    After installing the latest updates, my screen on large icons, screen too large for my moniter the only way of difficulty was to uninstall updates.

    Sounds like something in the update causes a conflict with your video driver or change the resolution settings.
     
    The first thing to do to solve the problem is to try to install each of the updates one at a time instead of let Windows Update do several updates together.  If you're lucky, the problem can not ride again.  If so, you'll know at least update is the cause of the problem.

    If the problem persists, try right click on an empty area of your desktop and select properties to open the display properties dialog box.  Select the settings tab.  Look to see if the screen is correctly identified and if the resolution seems correct.  If you spot something wrong, change to the correct setting.  If everything looks correct, you can try to change the resolution to see if that can solve the problem.

    You can also check the website of the manufacturer of your graphics card to see if they have an updated display driver.  Updates of the operating system only sometimes work correctly if you have the latest version of the drivers for the various components.

    If all else fails, you can uninstall the update one that is causing the problem and mark do not show you this update again in Windows updates.   Doing so will be considered a last resort - especially if the update in question is one of the security updates.

  • Recently changed the screen resolution. Said Yes when asked if I wanted larger icons on the new resolution. You want to return to the original settings.

    Sytem restore tells me that no changes.  Which is bullshit as when I went back to smaller resolution icons have been spaced more far and the gray area at the top of the screen did not return to small.  This means that I have to use the first symbol to minimize, and then right-click to get on the net.  The square and the cross are off the screen.

    Hello Elenoe,

    Thank you for visiting the Microsoft answers community.

    Not positive I understand exactly what you are trying to accomplish, however for the two questions you have with the larger icons and minimizing Internet Explorer I'll give you some steps to resolve.

    Large icons

    -Right-click Law Office > click Properties > click on settings tab > click on advanced > click on the general tab (if we by default)
    -Under view > compensates for the ppp settings.

    Internet Explorer minimizing

    From your description, it sounds like your Internet Explorer is beyond the edge of the screen.

    -Right click on the icon to the taskbar for Internet Explorer > click enlarge

    Maximize your screen to the right size?

    If the minimal State, you can't get the edges in order to size the window try:
      
    -Right click on the icon to the taskbar for Internet Explorer > click size > press your up, down, left, or right arrow key to select which edge you need to move.

    For example, if you move the right edge: press your right arrow button > by using the left and right arrow keys move the right edge of the window, and when finished press on enter

    Hope this helps
