Images showing up invisible

Question

I am trying to format an art and literary magazine, but many of the images are not showing up in InDesign no matter how I place them. I have tried using frames, dragging them from my desktop or a specific folder, using "Place", relinking the images, turning them into .psd files, changing them from jpegs to pngs, and nothing is solving the issue. At first, I was able to resolve the issue by making the image file sizes smaller, but since I updated InDesign that fix has not been working. I am not sure if the files are somehow corrupt, but I do not know how to tell or fix this.

I have attached an example of how the images are showing up. When the images show up this way, they also say that they are linked to the Pasteboard rather than the page that they are on. Any help with this would be great, because the magazine needs to be finished sooner rather than later for printing.

Update: I spoke to someone else who suggested the file might have been corrupted (it is a template that has been used for a couple of years) and it seems that is the problem. I tried a new file and everything worked perfectly fine. I apologize for not trying that sooner, seems like a no-brainer after the fact. Thanks everyone for your help!

"they also say that they are linked to the Pasteboard rather than the page that they are on."This might be a cropping issue. You might have accidentally moved your image within the graphic frame using the direct select tool, so the contents of your graphic frame moved onto the PB, but the actual frame stayed on the page..What happens if you, say, use the center command on that frame/ (Fitting > Center Content)
