Why am I not getting icon previews? (Mac OS)

Mac OS 10.7.5. Photoshop CC.

MacOS has some bugs that sometimes prevent it from building thumbnails correctly.

Sometimes rebooting will solve it, sometimes clearing the OS directory caches, and sometimes doing a clean install of the OS.

We've notified Apple of the problem, but haven't heard any results from them yet.

Thanks Chris. Come to think of it.. not sure I've rebooted since installing Photoshop CC.
