A 1 pixel row in iPhoto

When I open iPhoto, (9 of 10) times) I see what appears to be a one pixel row (a line) in iPhoto. I have seen it so far in white, light blue, and today, in magenta. It starts from the side of the program, and usually runs across the program, usually not all the way. It appears in different areas of the program. It is very annoying. I don't see this line, or row in any other applications, AT ALL.
Does anyone have any idea how to get rid of this annoying line?

First try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. If that doesn't work log into another account and try iPhoto there. If you get the same lines there then a reinstall of iPhoto is indicated. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder beforehand. Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on and apply the latest updaters.

Auto copy one pixel row from image....

Can someone help me write a script that:
- from my selection (1 pixel row)
- auto copy selected area to next row into new layer (up or down)... and so on (into the same second layer)... until it reaches the end of the image
- the result is a photos with two layers; in the first is my image and in second is multicolored pattern

I don’t see a problem; naturally the Selection should be a vertical column.
One should include a check for this condition, I guess.

Front row using iphoto as core to display photos?

Hi all,
i have a question about leopard front row as i still have not got it yet in asia i wonder if someone could enlighten me about using front row and iphotos.
main thing is that i do not have iLife install in my Macbook at all, but after upgrading to leopard will front row still be using iphotos as its core photos display and slide shows? as i really do not need the use of iLife that's y i do not need that to be on my Macbook.
Would appreciate someone would enlighten me.

Front Row requires you to have iPhoto. The iPhoto library is the only place it looks for pictures. If you don't want to use iPhoto, which comes on your MacBook, you could use a third party utility like .

Odd/Even Fields - Removing Pixel Rows In PS

This is hard to explain, but I have a challenging task here in PS. There has to be a way to do this!
I have to make our video engineering dept. two separate files, one containing the EVEN rows of pixels, and one file with the ODD rows of pixels.
BUT, I have to collapse the space between each pixel row, truncating the file height in half.
I have produced two master PSD files now, 854x480 WVGA format. I created a grid of selections (saved as an alpha channel) for ODD rows and EVEN rows, and deleted the unnecessary rows. If you were to layer these two files together, the image would appear seamlessly.
OK, fine. I almost have what I want, but I'm not done yet.
What I have to do now is to remove the space between each pixel row (the transparent rows), truncating the file height to 240 pixels high.
Yes, I know the final image will appear "odd", but this is for technology development purposes.
Can anyone offer a procedure to remove the rows of transparent pixels, resulting in a shorter file height?
I could post a PSD, I suppose, if someone wanted to see what I'm starting with.
If each pixel row were on an individual layer, I could distribute the layers, one on top of the other. But moving each pixel row would mean 240 layers.
There has to be another way.
I'm thinking there might be a method of doing this in AE if I can't do this in PS.
Thanks so much.

Tom:
I would process one file at a time, creating even and odd files, as opposed to breaking out two files using masks (as you seem to describe) and then processing those. I'm 95% sure you can action this to a batchable action (serial numbered even/odd files, not filename-prefix, if that makes sense). When creating the 239 dupes: dupe one set, then select both sets, dupe both, then select four, dupe those and so on. Do this in a blank action to make it easy to determine what you're duping. I created an action with 1024 sets of steps this way, which is more than enough to process both even/odd files, link everything, copy merged, save out, etc. If you're using CS3 the linking is much more simple: link layers 1 through 240 selecting all, vs: select layer 1, layer 2, layer 3, ...
If you merge linked and copy to a new file called "odd," then when you batch the action you can create 001_odd.psd, 001_even.psd, 002_odd.psd, 002_even.psd, ... Get the receiver to sign off on receiving renamed files and then no handwork for you. Or bug the scripting folks in that forum and they might be able to help you with naming the resultant files based on original.

Unstable upper and lower pixel row

Hi there,
When I export I see an unstable upper and lower pixel row. It flickers. Doesn't matter which codec or which player I use (although it is worse in MPEG stream clip player)
I also see it (although somewhat less) in my viewer pane in FCP X environment.
When I watch troublesome video;s on my Macbook Pro It is stable. Nothing's wrong then.
Could it be because I am working on a so calles Hackintosh. Has it something to do with my videocard maybe ( NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 2048 MB)?
Thx!

SSounds like you're looking at an interlaced format on a computer screen. Interlacing is designed solely for television playback. Don't know where you're trying to go but some formats will deinterlace on export. Otherwise you should edit in a progressive project if you want to remove the interlacing.

"pixelated photos in iPhoto gallery

When I try to edit a photo, the photo gets all pixelated (like a checkerboard pattern) and the same thing happens if I try t edit and switch photo to B&W. I have been using iPhoto for years and this is a new occurrence......

Thanks for trying to work me through this..... Before I follow your latest suggestions, I guess I need some clarification... When I said "do I need a backup?" I meant do I need to burn all my iPhoto library to CDs to keep from losing them.... Your comment was to always backup. I don't do any backing up now that I am aware of. Do I need to purchase an external hard drive to back up my entire iMac to? Obviously, this is what happens when your computer-savvy son hightails it off to college......Please advise about backing up.... and, one more comment on the iPhoto problem.....I just noticed this a.m., that the "checkerboard" pixelatingo f my photos only occurs in the lowest (furthest left) range of my size slider. That is, if I click on a photo to edit, and the size slider is all the way to the left, it pixelates the photo. If I move the slider to the right either 1/3 or 1/2 way, the pixelating checkerboard disappears. Of course, then I have a huge zoomed in version of the photo - larger than I want in most cases. Hmmm, it's a poser, as we say....
Thanks....

Pixelated images from iPhoto for iPad

iPhoto for iPad is a fantastic application, but very often although the images I edit look ok within the application, when I look at them in any other application (including apple's own built in photo browser) they are heavily pixelated, or some parts of them are missing altogether. The same thing happens when I beam or email said photos to my Mac.
I tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the app, I even went so far as to restore my iPad (non jail broken iPad 2, 64Gb, WiFi+3G, running iOS 5,1,1) from a backup, but the problem persists.
Any suggestions would be welcome.

Dah.veed
In the Photo app on the iPad in the Photos tab > Edit I can select pix, but the red Delete button is greyed out??? Puzzled.
Is there any other way to delete a range of pictures or an Album in the Photo app (or in the iPhoto for iPad app)???
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Front Row with iPhoto '08

Hello everyone, I recently purchased a Macbook and am trying to figure out how to use all the iLife features. One quirk I have ran into into with Front Row is the fact I can't get it to sync with my music playlist I set in iPhoto. If I play the slideshow using iPhoto, the music playlist plays just fine, but as soon as I get to Front Row, my music does not play. If I put a single song though, it works :S
I have tried googling everything and cannot figure out what to do
Currently I have my music running off of my Windows XP Partition (NTFS), so I can't change the ID tags as someone else suggested.
Thanks all
(Btw im loving OSX lol)

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
There is currently another active topic about this exact subject going on here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1561425
It doesn't work for me either right now. I think we're going to have to wait for an iTunes/iPhoto/QuickTime/Front Row or Mac OS X update.

Showing photos with Front Row without iPhoto

I love Apple, but frankly I cannot stand iPhoto. With the 2011 release, I tried another time to use it but trashed it a couple hours after.
I have all my picture simply into the Finder, inside a Dropbox folder which keeps them in sync amongst several macs of mine.
So I would like to know whether there is a way to use Front Row to show pictures without using iPhoto.
The best way for me would be to access directly the Finder or the file system. But I could also evalueate using other software, as long as they automatically sync their library with the content of the file system.
Any hint / idea / help?
I had thought of making a movie with the pictures, but that would be too unconfortable...
Thank you.

Hi,
I have got the same problem, i used to see the my pictures from all the events in the iphoto, but i think after some SL update i can only hear the slideshow music but no pictures.
I don't exactly remember when front row broke down because i do not use it regularly to watch pictures, i only use it to watch movie trailers, which still works fine.
Hope someone can help.
Cheers

Grainy (pixels) photos in iPhoto

I recently transferred and combined 2 iPhoto libraries. I copied the library from iPhoto 6 and imported it into iPhoto 9. I now have 40,000+ photos in the library. Here is the problem: The photos from the older iPhoto library are grainy and have a lot of pixelation in them. The pictures are grainy on the screen and when I print them. What could I have done to cause this? The pictures were fine before the transfer.

I originally copied the DATA folder
So you didn't copy the whole library? Just the data folder - which is the one with the Thumbnails...
Anyway:
To move an iPhoto Library to a new machine:
Link the two Macs together: there are several ways to do this: Wireless Network, Firewire Target Disk Mode, Ethernet, or even just copy the Library to an external HD and then on to the new machine...
But however you do choose to link the two machines...
Simply copy the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder on the old Machine to the Pictures Folder on the new Machine.
Then launch iPhoto. That's it.
This moves photos, events, albums, books, keywords, slideshows and everything else.
Then use iPhoto Library Manager to merge the two libraries.

Front Row combining iPhoto albums when it shouldn't

So my iPhoto library is organised with plenty of albums, smart albums and folder trees.
I have a folder tree for pictures of my art and another for pictures of other people's art.
When I have iPhoto display a slideshow there's no problems (so far). Yet when I have Front Row display the 'Lego' album in my friend Lucy's art folder, it displays every image in every album titled 'Lego', regardless of which folder tree those albums live in.
I believe I have Front Row 1.3.1; I'm running Tiger and haven't declined any updates. I've tried repairing permissions to no avail.

Yet when I have Front Row display the 'Lego' album in my friend Lucy's art folder, it displays every image in every album titled 'Lego', regardless of which folder tree those albums live in.
Is the "Lego" album in Lucy's folder a "smart" album? If so, I would be curious to know what happens if you change the rules for that folder, run Front Row to test and then change the rules back. It sounds like a smart albums that isn't following the settings correctly.

Front Row show iPhoto Movies?

As you know, iPhoto stores not only your photos, but any movies you've taken with your digital camera. Front Row shows all these photos, but it doesn't show the movies. Why is that?
You could of course import your digital camera movies into iTunes, but that gets a bit weird, because then you've got them stored twice, once in your iPhoto Library, and once in your iTunes Library. And with these AVI movies being mostly uncompressed, it can really eat up your hard drive storing them once, let alone twice!

If your movies play with the QuickTime Player program outside of iPhoto, then Front Row will be able to show them. The "Movies" section of Front Row only looks inside your "Movies" folder in your home folder for files. If you make an alias from the iPhoto library of your movie file into the "Movies" folder, then Front Row should be able to see them and play them. Remember, if you drag an item (or some items) while holding down on the Apple and "option" keys (it may be "alt" on a non-North American keyboard), you will create an alias where you drop the items instead of moving them. That might help you move several of them or even the folder they're in to your "Movies" folder.

Can't play music from shared slideshow using Front Row (or iPhoto)

Can anyone play a shared slideshow and have the music from that shared slideshow play in Front Row?
I can't get the sound to come through either in iPhoto or Front Row.
It seems to me that you should be able to do this.
1. We can play shared music.
2. We can play shared photos and slideshows
3. But I can't play shared slideshows with the selected music from that shared slideshow..........
Anyone.... ?
I don't think this is possible at this time but would like to know for sure if anyone else can do this?

Heya Joseph,
Yes you can play shared music in front row.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh1655.html
Now as far as a slideshow I would think so as well as the authorization for that music comes from iTunes to iPhoto.
Heya Justin,
Remove the following files to the trash (do not empty until you test for function):
~/library/caches
~/library/preferences/com.apple.itunes.plist
~/library/preferences/com.apple.frontrow.plist
~/library/preferences/com.apple.iphoto.plist
- Open iPhoto - then quit
- Open iTunes - then quit
- Repair your permissions - > http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=DiskUtility/10.5/en/duh17.html
- Restart your computer again
- Test and see how its working
Hope that helps!

Lumia 720 pixel row problem and warranty

Hello,
I have a 6 month Lumia 720 that has developed a problem in which a complete vertical row of pixels doesn't work in blue, green, yelloow, and other background colors.
I took it for warranty and they told me that they must exchange it for a new unit but they don't have 720's in stock.
THEY WANT TO GIVE ME SOMETHING LOWER THAN EVEN A LUMIA 630, I consider that totally unfair, given that even the 630 is a total downgrade.
How can that be possible? What can I do?

This is a user to user forum so we cannot help you directly in any way. You need to take it up further with Microsoft Mobile support in your country.
