Safari - Animated GIF not Animating Issue

I am frequenting site and have noticed animated gifs not animating properly on this page. The site is http://www.woot.com
Problem Detail:
There are two "whirly lights" on each side of a progress bar under the item currently for sale. The left light starts to animate while the page is loading but stops while the right light continues its animation.
This particular site may usually only uses these images every once in a while so if no one checks this in the next couple days the images will no longer be there. I created a web archive the site which I could send if this page does go away. The issue does not happen in Firefox or Internet Explorer.

Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions
I get the same effect as you in Safari. Loaded with no problem in Firefox. Page does have coding errors, which can lead to inaccuracies in how the page is rendered. Safari is much more strict about correct coding than Firefox, adhering to web standards set out by Web Standards Project.

Animated GIF not animated

Hi,
I have searched and searched but can't find a solution.
I have an animated gif on my page but it only displays the first frame and does not animate.
Anyone know how to make it work??

if the gif is valid, it should animate without any help. Try opening the gif with a program like irfanview and see if it animates.

Why are animated gifs not displaying animations in the preview?

Why are animated gifs not displaying animations in the preview?
My coworkers and I are not seeing a animation in the preview pane in Adobe Bridge CS6 even when clicking the play button in the preview window. However, we do see a graphic of the first frame and one person sees 1 frame when clicking play and one other frame and then the animation stops, however, that is not the complete animation.
I'm using Windows 7 32 bit
My coworkers are using a mac.
One coworker has apple OS Mountain Lion with a Intel Quad-Core Xeon – 64 bit system.
Is this fixable or in the works as a patch? Otherwise we have to open these docs in a browser in order to view them properly.

I've just come to the realization that some animated gifs do play fine and others do not. A coworker of mine suggests that if it's an animation made via Adobe Photoshop, it'll work in bridge but will not if it's made using something else.

Why do animated GIFs stop animating

I just upgraded to Muse CC Prerelease July 29, 2013 Version 6, Build 717.
Some animated GIFs stopped animating. Should I go back to my May 31st version of Muse?
Is there a released version of Muse?
Animated GIFs have always had problems when an effect like a Shadow or a Glow is applied. Sometimes they animate, sometimes they don't.
Usually I can get animated GIFs to work if they are not placed as text objects but it makes it more difficult if things reflow.

Gif not animating when on the Internet

Hopefully some one can help as I have tried everything i can
think of
I have create a animation using Flash 8 I have exported this
as a Animated gif to my computer. I can open the file and it
animates fine on my pc. When i upload to myspace it does not
animate.
I have tried downloading a random gif from the net and
uploading it to myspace and this animates (Just wanted to check
Myspace works with gifs)
The problem only appears to be with animations I have made.
I have tried making a really small animation (about 110kb)
then uploading it to myspace but again it doesnt animate (so its
not a size issue)
Flash - I have tried exporting movie as a gif and publishing
as a gif. The Animation has been made using motion tweed and not an
action script and I have tried every combination of gif option i
can think of i.e loop animation, loop twice, changing the frame
rate, size , colours, transarency etc
Please help as im so confused as to why this doesnt work.

Perhaps Safari isn't quite what you require, too much work involved all the time making it easier to see
Take a look at my customized Firefox:
it always opens to the same size window (or full screen if you like)
it always zooms all web pages 160% (or whateve you like)
it always has large type on the menu bar area. (to whatever you like)
it's very highly customizable, (or use the plain default settings)
has more add-ons than anyone (a real plus when you need it)
has more themes and personas than anyone (make it YOUR browser)
Easier surfing option for hard of seeing users
Safari is about the absolute worst browser since Internet Explorer, it's because Apple has already got your money so there isn't any incentive for them to make a better browser.

Animated GIF not cycling frames in Tomcat

I have pages that use animated gif files to get across a point.
In the IDE, they cycle the images as they should
SunAppserver cycles them properly.
I only get the first frame in Tomcat (5.5.7)
Over on the java.net, I saw this on a page concerning JAI:
GIF
The decoder supports animated GIF files and GIF files with transparent background. Only the first frame of an animated GIF file may be loaded via JAI; subsequent frames must be obtained via direct use of the ancillary codec classes.
Um, am I missing something, or is this a Tomcat problem ?

You just need transparency in your file. Not sure if it has to be pre-multiplied. In graphic converter you need to remove the backgrounds. Haven't used GC in years so can't say how you can be sure it's gone but in Photoshop, Illustrator and After Effects you can choose to have a checkerboard background to tell you when you are seeing 'thru' the image and by how much (the overall opacity or mask of the whole image if that doesn't confuse the issue).
If you are using PS images they will almost certainly generated with a set of rectangles including a perimeter cropping box and white background and these need to go either before it's bitmapped in a vector base app or the relevant pixels erased after it has been bit mapped in GC. As previously mentioned, if you have a unique bkgd colour, colour selecting/keying are some ways to do this). Much faster for >10 images to generate the plots without the bkgd but this may not be possible, what software is source material coming from?
I regularly bring in vector based moving art-work into keynote with alpha from Adobe AE, Apple Quartz and rendered .mov files. Some codecs (H.264) don't support a separate alpha channel (RGBA) but PNG (slow to render) and animation and a bunch of others do. Pre-multiplying removes the A channel in the RGBA (by multiplying the R/G/B by the A values) thereby speeding and making compatible with some GPUs/render pipelines.

Transparent Animated Gif not possible anymore in Keynote 09?

I have created an animated GIF (a series of transparent GIFs) with Adobe Image Ready, which was showing and playing OK on keynote 2.0.2. I have tried the same animated GIF on 5.0, and it seems the transparency of GIF is gone, it plays OK though. It would appear silly to lose this feature on later keynotes.
Any ideas why Keynote 5.0 does show the GIF without the transparency?
Any ideas are appreciated!

Animated gifs not working

I have created several animated gifs (using photos on a continuous loop) in photoshop on my mac, but they aren't working when we upload the gifs to our website. I've been creating these short animations for ages and all of the old ones are still working online. However I'm not doing anything differently, and am being careful to create them properly. The animations also play properly when I drop them into any old web browser. It's only when we upload them to a website that they stop working and display only the first frame.
Since a) I haven't changed the way I make these animated gifs, b) they work when dropped into a web browser, and c) the previously created animations are working online, does anyone have any idea why these recently created ones aren't working? Is it likely to be a photoshop problem?
Any ideas appreciated!

Can you share a sample web page?
Which browsers are you using to test the live web pages? Some browsers may have optionally disabled animated GIFs (although this would be unlikely if one GIF plays and another does not). ...and Safari has had a history of quirks with animated GIF play.

Animated .gif not moving

I've been intrigued by the new animated "postcards" or cinemagraphs (for example, see http://fromme-toyou.tumblr.com/tagged/gif). I found a great tutorial about how to do this using Photoshop Extended and the animation panel. I created my own, and then followed the instructions for saving the file:
1. "Save for Web and Devices"
2. make sure to save as GIF, looped "forever"
When I previewed the gif (from the "save for web and devices" dialog box), it worked great.
But when I save the gif, it doesn't move. It is just one frame of the animation, as a static photo. When I click the file, I get a "Preview" that shows all the frames, but I can't ever get it to move.
Is there a step I'm missing? Or is there some operating system setting I need to change? I've never created an animated gif before, but I can see other people's animated gifs in my email. (I'm attaching my gif in case you can figure it out from that.)
OKAY...I looked at the attachment, and it moves (my dog's eyes). This is the only time it has worked. I've tried to email it, post it on Tumblr, open it in my browser, but it never worked. Now, I post it here, and--at least as I look at the attachment--it works here. How can I get it to move when I post it online or try to send it via email?
I'm running Mac OSX 10.6, Photoshop CS 5.1.
Thank you!
Carol

Some email clients disable animated GIFs.
Web sites like Tumblr that have image upload functions may further process your file during upload by removing its animated features. You could control this by hosting images on your own web site.
In general, animated GIF files are not ideal for emails because of their large size. GIF is an inefficient format for photorealistic animation/video.

Why does animated .gif not work with windows?

I have created an animated .gif to place in a powerpoint presentation, but when I sent it to my client who used a windows computer, it does not work. When I try to open the .gif in my windows 98 virtual machine, it says it has errors.
I created it in photoshop CC using the timeline and saving it with "save for web".

AAAAAAAGGGGGGHHH! Stupid Powerpoint corrupted the files when it "packaged" them
Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.
It is very difficult to figure out what my client is doing on his end.
It won't let me mark you both as correct.

Animated gif not working

Hi All,
Animated gif seems to have an issue in flex.
seemingly a swf will solve the problems.
Does anyone have a swf corresponding to the progress indicator?
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi YKaura,
Yes the gif animated files doesn't work directly...
I think you want to add custom preloader to your application overriding the default gray preloader..If so then check out these links...

Animated .gif not reloading

Here's my problem:
I'm trying to run an animation whenever a certain button is pressed. The file is an animated .gif. It works... but only the first time. I'm trying to figure out how to work more than once. The image is being loaded in a JLabel. Suggestions? Any help is greatly appreciated.
some small parts of my code that may help:
private static ImageIcon sinkHoop = new ImageIcon("images/sinkhoop.gif");
private static JLabel hoopLabel = new JLabel(hoop);
public void animateSinkHoop()
hoopLabel.setIcon(sinkHoop);
}

I guess I've stumped everyone here.Today, everyone's stumped. But in the not so distant past:..

Progress GIF Not Animated.

Apex 4.2
Theme 21
Page Template; Application Defaut
I have some pages in my application that take a while to load, so I wanted to display something
to show the users while the page was loading.
So from my menu I first branch to a page that will just display the progress gif, then a branch takes the user
to the correct page.
This is all working fine, apart from the progess gif appears, but it is not animated
I have the following code on page zero
<style type="text/css">
#AjaxLoading{padding:5px;font-size:18px;width:250px;text-align:center;left:30%;top:30%;position:absolute;background-color:Lightgrey;}
span.reload{font-size:7pt;margin-left:200px;color:#bbbbbb;font-weight:normal;}
</style>
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
<div id="AjaxLoading" style="display:none;">..Retrieving Data From &P0_PROGRESS_TEXT...<br /><img src="/i/processing3.gif" id="wait" /></div>
Any ideas appreciated

I have set up an example on oracle.com
Workspace: guscrighton
User: [email protected]
Password: terminator
Application: 25851
Page 1
Click on Test at the top left of the screen.
It branches to P18 and it suppossed to show the animated gif and

If I just use a button with a submit dynamic action then it works fine.

Animated gif not moving, image.animation_mode already set to Normal

''dupe of - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/932846 - locking''
With image.animation_mode already set to Normal, animated gif are not moving, it seems only the first frame is downloaded. I tried downloading the image, it also seems that only the first frame is downloaded. Then I disabled all extensions, the problem persists. Then I use a whole new profile, there seems to be no problem.
The question is, is there another hidden settings in firefox which cause this trouble? I do not want to start a new profile just because of this. (It also happens in Firefox version 13)

Do you see the animation if you check the image in Tools > Page Info > Media or open the image directly in a tab?
Some security software (firewall) can block animated images and send a normal image instead, so can try to check the advanced settings for Firefox in the firewall if the problem isn't in Firefox.

Why is an animated GIF not appearing on my webpage?

I have succesfully built a site that is ready for publication. The client submitted an ad for one of his suppliers that he wants to promote. It is an animated GIF from AVG.
I placed it on the home page. It looks great. It shows up in previews. When I publish the site online, the GIF does not display. If I export the site as HTML and view the files locally, the file appears as it should.
When I view the online version on Firefox, there is no GIF file visible. When I use Chrome to view the site, the GIF is there. The client says for him it's vice versa. Firefox shows the GIF, but Chrome does not.
I did not apply ANY styling to the GIF. It is only placed on the page as is.
I cannot figure this one out. HELP.
The site is located at: http://72.29.127.6/~pcbasics/
I will submit the muse file upon request.

I was wrong, it is not NTFS. According to a 700 mHz eMac running 10.3.9, it is Format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled). And it mounts the desktop on the eMac as well as reading and writing. I can copy files to it and remove them on the eMac.
My powerbook 1.5 gHz on the other hand, still not mounting.
Given this error I will repost this problem under a new subject.
Why would a drive mount an eMac desktop but not a Powerbook?
