I am having an issue with \listoffigures and \listoftables. They are not generating.

Here is what I have so far: 

\documentclass[12pt]{report} 
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{subfig}
\linespread{1.6}
\graphicspath{{Images/}}
\usepackage[a4paper,left=1.5in,top=1in,bottom=1in, right=1in]{geometry}
\usepackage{gensymb}
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage[none]{hyphenat}
\usepackage{tocbibind} 
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage[toc,page]{appendix}
\usepackage{array}


\begin{document}


\pagenumbering{roman}

\input{abstract}

\chapter*{Dedication}

\chapter*{Acknowledgment}


\tableofcontents 

\listoffigures

\listoftables

\chapter{Introduction}
\pagenumbering{arabic}
\setcounter{page}{1}
%\input{Chapters/Chapter1}

\end{document}

and this is how I do my figures: 

\begin{figure}
\centering
\includegraphics[scale=0.4]{Images/P66614NCN2.jpg}
\caption[EAN sample]{EAN after some stuff.}
\label{fig:P66614NCN2}
\end{figure}

But for whatever reason, my list of figures and list of tables remains blank. Can't find anything about how to resolve this. Any help?

Here is my file long:

  • I guess technically I tried twice since I have ad issues with things not coming together after one compile. Will try now and report back. Thanks! ------ just checked and it did not work.

    Hm, your code works fine here. I removed \input{abstract} and the \includegraphics (as I don't have any of the files), but I get EAN sample in the list of figures, as expected. Silly question, but you're not by any chance somehow deleting/moving the auxiliary files (.lot,.lof) between compilation runs are you?

  • No I am not deleting any files. That's so weird that you are getting it to work. Is it possible it is because I am inputting the files that contain my figures and that's why it isn't listing them?

  • No, that shouldn't (doesn't) matter. Can you describe in more detail the steps you take to produce a PDF?

Because we do not have your used image and the other files you \inputed I changed your given code snippets to a compilable MWE. With my current version of MiKTeX 2.9 I can compile the MWE without errors. After the third compile run one will see the table of contents, the list of figures (but not list of tables, because I did not add one).

With the command \listfiles I added you get an list of used packages and version numbers at the end of the log file. Please compare this list with mine.

MWE:

\listfiles
\documentclass[12pt]{report} 

\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}
\usepackage{subfig}
\linespread{1.6}
%\graphicspath{{Images/}}
\usepackage[a4paper,left=1.5in,top=1in,bottom=1in, right=1in]{geometry}
%\usepackage{gensymb} % <========================= causes two warnings!
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage[none]{hyphenat} % <============================= Why?
\usepackage{tocbibind} 
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage[toc,page]{appendix}
\usepackage{array}


\begin{document}

\pagenumbering{roman}

\chapter*{Dedication}
\chapter*{Acknowledgment}

\tableofcontents 
\listoffigures
\listoftables

\chapter{Introduction}
\pagenumbering{arabic}
\setcounter{page}{1}
\begin{figure}
  \centering
  \includegraphics[scale=0.4]{Images/P66614NCN2.jpg}
  \caption[EAN sample]{EAN after some stuff.}
  \label{fig:P66614NCN2}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

with the result:

  • It seems like a few of my packages are an older version. You think that's enough to cause the issue? ... I also tried making a new latex document and copy and pasting the code with the graphix code and still nothing.

  • I copied your code and it worked. I thought maybe it was the gensymb package that was causing the issue, but commenting that out of my main file didn't generate a list of figures.

  • Also I use gensymb to allow me to use \degree to make a degree symbol

    Ok i finally figured out the one line that was messing everything up: \addtocontents{toc}{\protect\setcounter{tocdepth}{0}} As soon as I took that out things are working now.
