Unable to watch or create slideshows.

When I open a previously created slideshow in iPhoto, I can see the photos across the top in a strip, but cannot see them underneath.  Also, the slideshow is blank, but plays the music.  Any help would be appreciated.   I think I have stumped the Apple Agents.

I can see the pics fine.  I have 3 previously created slideshows that I have watched a million times.  Now, all I see is the pics in a strip across the top and a white/blank screen where the photo should be.  If I try to create a new slideshow, I cannot see any pics in the strip across the top and the screen where the photo should be is black.  I have uninstalled iPhoto and reinstalled, and reinstalled Lion.

    There has been a change in where Firefox searches for plugins and the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder is no longer scanned for plugins, so Firefox won't find them anymore if they are installed in the plugins folder instead of the "browser\plugins" folder that Firefox now scans.
    You can set the plugins.load_appdir_plugins pref to true on the about:config page to make Firefox scan the "<install>/plugins/" directory for plugins like the WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll).
    You can alternatively move plugins from "<install directory>\plugins\" to "<install directory>\browser\plugins\" (create this folder when missing) to make Firefox find them again.

  • Creating slideshows with FCE

    Hello everybody
    In this thread I'm not really seeking resolve to a problem but, more to the tune of,
    " What is lacking or missing ? " , Please let me explain, For over a year now I have been creating slideshows from stills. I cant really recall the very first app I used but, I graduated to Photo to Movie before to long. PTM did a good job but, yet something was missing to satisfy my taste so. I ran out and bought FCE and, have now been creating exclusively with FCE.
    Now I'm creating all my shows using PSD files coupled with motion graphics, overlays, lower thirds so forth and so on... I have create some rather impressive shows that have amazed those who have seen them to this point. Yet, I feel I have not fully satisfied my creativity.
    I have googled slideshows till I'm blue in the face, seeking examples and or direction that may satisfy
    my creativity. Every site I have seen that creates these shows, create them in my opinion, a very generic way....
    I have yet to use any form of plug-ins, I have only been using the filters and effects in FCE, maybe that is what I'm lacking but, plug-ins really pertain to actual video , not stills ...
    The direction I'm taking this thread and, the questions I have are.
    What have some of you done for dressing up slideshows ?
    What other apps may you have used in creating ?
    What plug-ins if any have you used ?
    If you know of a site that has awesome examples could you please post a link ?
    Thank you all in advance for any and all help you may offer ....

    _Currently I’m working on a project where 9 stills are dropped onto the screen like cards thrown across the table, each still has an independent pan._
    Thats an awesome idea really, I just created a title similar to yours . I used it to introduce the family
    I'm creating the slideshow for.
    _Photo To Movie type apps will do anything like that._
    PTM is a good app, it's really geared up for simplicity. When I first started with PTM , I bought it with the intension of importing into FCE. However, after learning how to work with stills in FCE, there really wasn't a need for PTM. If PTM was capable of adding motion graphics as backgrounds, I would have a lot more use for it. The lack of this capability forces you to export in an animation .mov , rather than .DV NTSC , this is a big drawback. Even if I wanted to use PTM just to set my stills and, add my motion, the rendering and, re-rendering in FCE just is not worth the haste.
    _I have found my best slide shows are a combination of music that really fits the theme and a good Ken Burns effect. Music moves the soul._
    This is very true, I have taken it a step above this and, have started adding sound effects to my transitions, not to all of them, but to a selected few. I personally feel that adding sound effect to al of them, would be to much. The hard part for me on this is , finding just the right sound effect. I need to start toying more with Garage Band and, see if I can just create the needed sounds.
    _I think the main problem is one of all artists. While I am creating it, it is my best work ever. When it is viewed by other people, they are always floored. But if I watch it a day later, it looks like a piece of poo, there was always something I could have done better or a certain something was missing._
    This is all very true, I face that problem with everything I have created. Seems everyone I create I learn yet another trick of the trade and saying , " This is going to be awesome, my best yet ". Completion day comes I burn to DVD, then I nit pick it to death.
    I'm very artistic and creative by nature, I know I have always been my own worst critic. If one was to ask me today how I feel, about my progress in my work. I would have to say I feel I'm about 10% of where I would like to be.

  • Unable to change Date Created in Metadata

    Please help with my first post...
    Unable to change Date Created field in Metadata.
    I am a newspaper photographer sending .jpg pics with captions to my office from my iMac. They are viewed at the office on Windows PCs using SCC MediaGrid.
    When changing Date Created in Metadata Invalid Format warning appears "Format should be ISO 8601 XML compliant, that is YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm[:ss][tz] (eg 2006-07-11T13:14:30-07:00)"
    If 2009-09-26, for example, is entered then exported pictures opened up in Photoshop or shown on SCC MediaGrid do not display the date.
    To get dates to show up I first have to open a pic in Photoshop, go to File Info, enter 26/9/09 in Date Created and Save As.
    Next I have to Import this into Aperture where the Date Created shows as "20090926".
    Using Lift Metadata and Stamp Metadata the date can be transferred to other pics.
    Now when I export these pics the date does show up in Photoshop and SCC MediaGrid.
    Can Date Created be typed straight into field in Aperture?...Very important when pics go into archive on a server.
    Also if I hit Return key in a Metadata Caption, to type on the next line, both lines will appear as one with a small square in-between them when viewed on SCC MediaGrid on a Windows PC.
    Thanks in anticipation.

    Nick I don't generallt use the IPTC metadata, so I'm not sure I will be too much help.
    What version of Aperture are you using? I tried both things and I didn't have any problems with the latest version of Aperture on my Mac.
    I was able to enter a date into "Date Created" both with and without the time-zone adjustment. Can you tell us the exact string you tried to enter into the "Date Created" and exactly when you get the error? I tried to enter my time zone (eastern US) as "-5:00", but Aperture wouldn't let me enter the 5 and popped up the error message when I typed that key. I had to use "-05:00".
    As for the caption, when I hit return, Aperture ends my edit. I cannot reproduce your described behavior of actually getting a new-line into the field. I suspect your problem (although I don't know how you get to your problem) is one of the following:
    1) The IPTC standard doesn't tell if the software should use a Unix-style end-of-line (which is a line-feed), or a DOS/Windows style end-of-line (which is carriage-return followed by line-feed). Aperture may put in the Unix-style and your Windows programs don't know what to do with it.
    2) The IPTC standard does indicate the end-of-line style, but either Aperture or your other programs don't follow it.
    or
    3) IPTC Metadata doesn't actually support end-of-line, so Aperture should not allow you to enter multiple lines, but it has a bug so it does allow you to do that.
    Can you tell us where exactly you are editing the caption? I tried it in the inspector pane (on the left) in the "Metadata" tab, and then I hit the "IPTC" button at the bottom of the tab.

    I need your help with a decision to use iPhoto.  I have been a PC user since the mid 1980’s and more recently have used ACDSee to manage my photo images and Photoshop to edit them.  I have used ProShow Gold to create slideshows.  I am comfortable with my own folder and file naming conventions. I currently have over 23,000 images of which around 60% are scans going back 75 years.  Since I keep a copy of the originals, the storage requirements for over 46,000 images is huge.  180GB plus.
    I now have a Macbook Pro and will add an iMac when the new models arrive.  For my photos, I want to stay with Photoshop which also gives me the Bridge.  The only obvious reason to use iPhoto is to take advantage of Faces and the link to iMovie to make slideshows.  What am I missing and is using iPhoto worth the effort?
    If I choose to use iPhoto, I am not certain whether I need to load the originals and the edited versions. I suspect that just the latter is sufficient.  If I set PhotoShop as my external editor, I presume that iPhoto will keep track of all changes moving forward.  However, over 23,000 images in iPhoto makes me twitchy and they are appear hidden within iPhoto.  In the past, I have experienced syncing problems with, and database errors in, large databases.  If I break up the images into a number of projects, I loose the value of Faces reaching back over time.
    Some guidance and insight would be appreciated.  I have a number of Faces questions which I will save for later. 

    Bridge and Photoshop is a common file-based management system. (Not sure why you'd have used ACDSEE as well as Bridge.) In any event, it's on the way out. You won't be using it in 5 years time.
    Up to this the lack of processing power on your computer left no choice but to organise this way. But file based organisation is as sensible as organising a Shoe Warehouse based on the colour of the boxes. It's also ultimately data-destructive.
    Modern systems are Database driven. Files are managed, Images imported, virtual versions, lossless processing and unlimited editing are the way forward.
    For a Photographer Photoshop is overkill. It's an enormously powerful app, a staple of the Graphic Designers' trade. A Photographer uses maybe 15% to 20% of its capability.
    Apps like iPhoto, Lightroom, Aperture are the way forward - for photographers. There's the 20% of Photoshop that shooters actually use, coupled with management and lossless processing. Pop over to the Aperture or Lightroom forums (on the Adobe site) and one comment shows up over and over again... "Since I started using Aperture/ Lightroom I hardly ever use Photoshop any more..." and if there is a job that these apps can do, then the (much) cheaper Elements will do it.
    The change is not easy though, especially if you have a long-standing and well thought out filing system of your own. The first thing I would strongly advise is that you experiment before making any decisions. So I would create a Library, import 300 or 400 shots and play. You might as well do this in iPhoto to begin with - though if you’re a serious hobbyist or a Pro then you'll find yourself looking further afield pretty soon. iPhoto is good for the family snapper, taking shots at birthdays and sharing them with friends and family.
    Next: If you're going to successfully use these apps you need to make a leap: Your files are not your Photos.
    The illustration I use is as follows: In my iTunes Library I have a file called 'Let_it_Be_The_Beatles.mp3'. So what is that, exactly? It's not the song. The Beatles never wrote an mp3. They wrote a tune and lyrics. They recorded it and a copy of that recording is stored in the mp3 file. So the file is just a container for the recording. That container is designed in a specific way attuned to the characteristics and requirements of the data. Hence, mp3.
    Similarly, that Jpeg is not your photo, it's a container designed to hold that kind of data. iPhoto is all about the data and not about the container. So, regardless of where you choose to store the file, iPhoto will manage the photo, edit the photo, add metadata to the Photo but never touch the file. If you choose to export - unless you specifically choose to export the original - iPhoto will export the Photo into a new container - a new file containing the photo.
    When you process an image in iPhoto the file is never touched, instead your decisions are recorded in the database. When you view the image then the Master is presented with these decisions applied to it. That's why it's lossless. You can also have multiple versions and waste no disk space because they are all just listings in the database.
    These apps replace the Finder (File Browser) for managing your Photos. They become the Go-To app for anything to do with your photos. They replace Bridge too as they become a front-end for Photoshop.
    So, want to use a photo for something - Export it. Choose the format, size and quality you want and there it is. If you're emailing, uploading to websites then these apps have a "good enough for most things" version called the Preview - this will be missing some metadata.
    So it's a big change from a file-based to Photo-based management, from editing files to processing Photos and it's worth thinking it through before you decide.

  • I am unable to watch Netflix on my computer; my Silverlight plugin crashes every time I attempt to watch a video.

    The Silverlight plugin crashes whenever I try and watch a video on Netflix. I'm using Vista 64-bit, and I'm running the most recent update of Silverlight. This is a persistent problem for me (i.e. I've been unable to watch Netflix in Firefox, including the most recent stable releases).

    I was getting this error and tried everything. The only thing that worked was uninstalling Silverlight 4.0 and going back to 3.0, which I got from oldapps(dot)com

  • Unable to view pdf created in Live Cycle Designer ES2-initially thought to be a user/OS issue

    Unable to view pdf created in Live Cycle Designer ES2.  I initially thought this was a user / OS issue when I created a document for someone who is new to a MAC laptop.  She could not view the document through email.  Unfortunately, I began seeing the same error in my own document folders when searching for another document showing as icons instead of a list.  I can open the file without a problem although I see the error she sees only while viewing the icons in my folder.  I am using a Windows 7 PC. Now, I also know that if the document is downloaded, it can be viewed.
    Other notes:
    If trying to access the form via the internet, the same error is seen through Chrome, Firefox, and Mozilla but NOT through IE
    Everyone seems to have the latest or a very recent READER
    The form is compatible with Reader versions 7 and up
    Again, downloading from the internet to the computer appears to allow the file to open properly
    Document cannot be viewed on the Galaxy Tab 2 via Chrome or the pre-installed Internet Browser, nor can it be viewed through the Reader after download to tablet. I did not try on an Apple iPad.
    All parties involved are up-to-date with virus protection.
    Below is a link to the exact message received when trying to open the document.

    You're on to something KJ!  Yes the form was created in LiveCycle Designer ES2 which came bundled with my Adobe X Pro.  I began creating a new form yesterday and found that I could not preview the form, rendering this same "error" instead.  I ran a repair on my Adobe and at first it seemed to fix the issue but after making some changes to the form I tried to preview again and couldn't.  Here is what I get when I try to preview my forms in Designer ES2: 
    When I click the OK button, it then gives me that single static page as mentioned above in previous posts.
    I searched Adobe yesterday trying to figure out how I could repair the LiveCycle Designer or if there was some sort of patch that I haven't gotten but was not able to find anything.

  • Unable To Watch Flash From Hulu

    I noticed that I am unable to watch anything from Hulu.com only on my Arch Linux machine. It's a 64bit PC running Firefox and I can watch Youtube or any other video site that has embedded flash players except www.hulu.com. I attempt to pull up any video from that site and I get a message that says:
    I am sorry be we're unable to stream videos to your system. This may be due to an Adobe software limitation on 64-bit Linux systems.
    Does anyone else have the same issue and know how to resolve this?

    it seems like it's a pretty common problem.
