my thumb nails have turned into a generic image

Hello, pictures of my images have changed to a generic GIF and I try to get the real image as the thumbnail view. I can't change the view when I open my pictures. I have run the checker system files and scanned, but there is no problem. This problem happened after I restored it this system for a period prior to the window help restore. Any ideas on how to get the thumbnails to display a JPEG file? Thank you

    I just upgraded to El Capitan, which automatically "upgraded" iPhoto in Photos.  Now when I open the pictures, my thumb nails is blurred with the exception of those that have been previously published in iPhotos.  When you click on a fuzzy thumbnail to select it, the picture is very good. The photos were initially imported into iPhoto via the camera memory card to JPEG.  Is there a way to fix this?  I take lots of photos for a local spca and this will really slow me down in the decision-making process on the pictures to use.  I'm not a very tech savvy person any help with this is greatly appreciated!

    Three things I can think of:

    Your document must be in RGB mode.

    Layer blending mode should be set to Normal

    Masks are grayscale. If you select the mask, you cannot apply a color.

    Always check your tab at the top to see if what you choose is RGB or grayscale.

    Hi Rugman304,

    Thank you for your question in Apple Support communities. I use my iPhone all the time and are based on the ability to send an iMessages. I will be happy to provide you with some information for you on this issue.

    The first thing I recommend is to restart your iPhone. A simple restart is very beneficial for the performance of the iPhone. Then, you do not want to follow the steps described in this article:

    my iPhone is in English, I once turned into french and I turned it in English but my Apple music is always in french, I want it in English, and I don't know how he turned back in it.

    Hello louis1322,

    Thank you for reaching out to the communities of Apple. I definitely want to have my Apple music in correct language so I want to know what I'm listening. You want to first try to reboot your device and to force the closure of the music app. If those who do not resolve the problem, you can try a few resets. If you do not already have a backup, please make a backup of all your data in iTunes or iCloud.

    Next, we want to reset all settings.

    Reset all settings: tap Settings > general > reset > reset all settings. This resets all settings including the Wi - Fi networks and passwords, cell settings, VPN and the parameters that you used before APN, Touch ID and a password, any installation of cards in Apple pay and removes the restrictions. This removes all personal data, such as music or photos.

    If the problem is still not resolved, you can try to restore the backup that was made before you, French language change initially.

    Finally, you can erase content and settings on your device and put in place nine. Be aware, this option will be everything, including music and pictures, delete and configure the device as if it was brand new.

    Restart your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch

  • Lost all my thumb nails - new tabs open only a blank page. How to make a comeback?

    The subject of support on this issue says look for a "PIN" icon in the upper left corner of the browser. I do not show one. Firefox used to just automatically populate my new tabs with thumbnails page, but is no longer doing this, and I don't know how to fix it.
    I downloaded some freeware that has changed a number of navigation options (browser by default, added Bing bar without my full knowledge, etc.). Who has had all removed but then Firefox did not work well, so I had to uninstall/reinstall the program. Now my thumb nails are gone and I can't recover them or create new ones.
    Help!
    Cheers, Dolly

    Hello

    You can reset the setting for the page tab by following these instructions:

    • In the URL bar, type about: config and press ENTER.
    • The subject: config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click on that I'll be careful, I promise! to keep the comments: config page.
    • In the search box, type "browser.newtab.url".
    • Click the browser.newtab.url preference, and then click Reset. He must then change back to the default which is ' on: newtab'.
    • Click OK and close all: config tab.

    You can see that it works for a while, but ultimately the problem comes. In this case then I think it is likely that some malware is hijacking your browser and make changes to the settings. That's why the change was made in the first place without your permission. You said that you had deleted the free software that you have installed, but sometimes they seem to have disappeared, but in fact to leave a trace.

    In this case, you can try these free programs to search for malicious software that work with your existing anti-virus software:

    I also suggest you do the following:

    • a comprehensive analysis with your current antivirus software.
    • Watch your Firefox Add-ons and remove any that you install yourself - disable or remove modules
    • Look at your list of applications from Windows startup and disable anything you think might be related or suspicious look.
    • Look at your list of installed Windows applications and uninstall anything that you think might be related or suspicious look.

    More information can be found in the article troubleshooting Firefox problems caused by malware .

    Hello

    Normally this has nothing to do with an empty battery in the CSW. In this case, you will only get an error message about low battery or something else, but the laptop should boot correctly.

    In your case I guess that it s a hardware problem. Have you ever tried to remove the battery and the AC adapter for a few hours or overnight? Sometimes this helps

    Otherwise, it would be nice to get a professional help form an authorized service provider. They can diagnose the laptop and Exchange parts of defective material.

    I have xp s3. I had trouble with my main drive lately. Previously, I had my shot raw c drive and I can either logon in safe mode. I used checkdisk by my slave hard drive someone to another disk and it comes back with a few interface problems.

I have avira for antivirus and Registry Mechanic only. Is there a way I can fix my windows without formatting evrything?

    Hi Windflash,

    I had a similar problem also and it turns out that the hard drive is dead. You can probably do is to connect the hard drive to a working another computer & use data recovery tools to recover files from it but usability will always be a question.

    Data recovery is an another stressful job as for me it took 3 days to recover data to a 500 GB drive.

    After which I tried to format it own it but has not as well so I poured the reader.
