I can't stop my photo thumbnails to switch to generic icons.
In my folder of pictures, all my photo files will briefly display a thumbnail of the photo but will immediately switch to a generic photo of the examples of Windows photo icon. I can't figure out how to get the thumbnail to stay as my photo and not switch to the generic. I have Windows Vista and it's never happened before. It just started to do on its own, and I can't stop it. It's a pain in the neck to find a photo in particular, when each photo in the folder has the same generic image and not a thumbnail of the photo. I have to click on the generic icon and open it to what is the photo. I do not use the Windows Vista Photo Gallery because I don't like. I don't like no way that it forces me to organize his way and not mine. I have my pictures in a subfolder in the folder my documents. Help! I lost interest in my photos because of this problem.
Hi MaQMartok,
Welcome!
This can happen if there is some system files corrupted on your computer. Suggest to run a SFC scan, which would be a search for system files corrupted on the computer and replace them.
How to run scan SFC
1. click on the Start button
2 from the Start Menu, click on all the programs of followed by accessories
3. in the menu Accessories , right-click on command prompt option
4. in the menu that appears, click on the option "Run as Administrator"
5 If you have user account control (UAC) enabled you will be asked to consent to the opening of the command line. You simply press the button continue if you are the administrator or insert password etc.
6. in the window prompt of commands , type: sfc/scannow , and then press enter
7. a message is displayed to indicate that "the analysis of the system will start.
8. be patient because the analysis may take some time
9. If all the files need replace SFC will replace them. You may be asked to insert your Vista DVD for this process to continue
10. If all goes although you should, after the analysis, see the following message "Windows resource protection not found any breach of integrity.
11. after the scan is finished, close the command prompt window reboot the computer and check.
The analysis may take some time, so be patient. Windows allows to fix corrupt or missing files it finds. If the information of the installation CD is required to fix the problem, you may be asked to insert your Windows Vista.

How can I stop my photos be deleted from all my devices when I remove my phone is off
How can I stop my photos be deleted from all my devices when I remove my phone is off
With no information can only guess
My guess is that you are using iCloud photo library and if that is correct, then this is the way ICPL works and why it exists - it synchronizes the libraries on mulciple devices by keeping anyway - any changes made on any device is performed on all including additions, deletions, and modifications
If this isn't what you want then you should not use ICPL
For devices with limited storage you put to use optimized photos keep the originals only on iCLoud photo library and any other device with large storage available

It appears randomly in private browsing mode. When I check the history when Firefox is opened, it will appear, but when I exit and restart the history is clear.

Hello
I am having some problems with muse. I use the latest version.
2015.2.1.21, CL 801520 File Format: 352
Mac Os 10.11.6
I can't exit the application.
I can open the app, works without problem with muse docs (create, edit, save and publish sites).
I can just stop it. Muse remains here, just the icon in the dock, using 50% of the cpu. Long as he wants, the only way to stop it, is Force Quit.
It is not like, a problem with the memory swap, cache or something like that, because if I just open and close the program, I'm having this problem.
Any advice or idea?
See you soon

How can I stop Photos to start when I plug my iPod nano?
How can I stop Photos to start when I plug my iPod nano? I use mac os x El Capitan 10.11.3 & iTunes 12.3.2.35.
It takes your iPod nano 5th generation. If so, this happens because he has a camera. After Photos opens when you connect iPod, near the top of the window, is there a checkbox to Open the Photos for this device (or words to that effect)? If you see this checkbox, uncheck. Photos should be open when the iPod is connected.

I deleted some photos from my iPhone 6 but I noticed that it was also deleted out of my IMac. How can I stop this
If you use iCloud photo library all the photos you delete a device will be deleted to iCloud and all other devices that are connected to this library to iCloud. The iCloud design library should synchronize all changes, including deletions, to all devices. You can reduce the storage space required on your phone by selecting settings > iCloud > Photos > optimize iPhone storage.

My iphone 5 iOs 9.2 my photos off wifi have tend to be blurry how can I stop this to keep download when I reconnect to wifi?
Hello Mikecici,
Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.
I understand that your photos will look blurry, whenever your iPhone is not connected to the Wi - Fi. This indicates that you probably iCloud library enabled with the option of storage optimize. If you have cellular data disabled for Photos, which would prevent photos life-size uploaded without a Wi - Fi. To learn more about iCloud photo library, please take a look at the information in the link below.
Can I use iCloud photo library to save space on my device?
iCloud photo library automatically keeps all of your photos and videos in the original version, in high resolution. Follow these steps to choose how you store your photos and videos on your device:
- On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, tap Settings > iCloud > pictures or settings > Photos & camera, then select a storage parameter.
- On your Mac, click on Photos > Preferences > iCloud, and select a storage parameter.
If you turn on [device] Optimize storage, iCloud photo library manages automatically the size of your library on your device, you can make the most of your device storage and access photos more than ever. All of your original photos, full resolution and the videos are stored in iCloud while unit size versions are stored on your device. You can download original photos and videos over Wi - Fi or cell phone when you need it.
If you turn on download original, iCloud photo library will keep your original, full resolution photos and videos on iCloud and on your device. Download the originals is the default setting for iOS devices with 5 GB free storage plan and all Mac devices.
You need an Internet connection to access a photo original or video that is stored only in iCloud.
See you soon.
