Check the file and folder permissions, make sure your user has at least 'read' rights to those files.

permissions are alright.
Only recent .jpg files are the problem; older .jpg files can be manipulated without problem.

It sounds like an ownership issue? Try to change ownership on a file to your account and see if that lets you view them.

Yes permission was the problem . i had to change the permission to individual files for it to work.

Thank you all for the help. :thumbup
