About viewing images that are not the same dimensions as the iPod screen

I sent some images to my iPod via email. I saved them to my photo library. When I went to look at them, I noticed something odd was happening: my iPod is sort of 'stretching' the images so they fit the entire screen of my iPod, even if that means a) cutting off parts of the image (either top and bottom or the two sides), or b) is stretching the dimensions of the image to fit the screen--I can't tell which is happening, though I think the former.
I can view the image correctly by pinching it a bit, but if I move to another image and come back, it's back to being stretched.
I know that in Photoshop I can add a black boarder (either top and bottom or on the sides), so the image with the border matches the dimensions of the screen, but that seems like a pain in the rear to do with each image. This seems like an odd quirk of the iPod, given that they are trying to use the camera and image viewing as a selling point.
Is there any setting on the iPod so I can keep it from doing this (I noticed that it does this even with photos I take with the iPod camera, because they have slightly different dimensions than the screen)? And if not, does anyone know the ratio (side to top) or resolution (in pixels) of the screen so I can match it.
Thanks, David

So generous people; thank you for your time.
I visited the camera store and we discovered that my camera lcd was set to the maximum brightness level which completely distorted any understanding of my exposure. What I now see on the lcd in terms of ligt and shadow is very similar to what I see on my computer screen.
Maybe you can shed light on this:
I also may need to just upgrade my imac. On the camera store's late model imac my images were tac sharp but on my imac they look quite soft and still have less light.
There is also still some difference in terms of color settings. My camera's colors have a brighter pinkish tone and on the camera store's imac and mine the tone is yellowish orange.
I will try DPReview and Nikoncafe. My first step is to reset my cameras to factory defaults and then upload and compare.
Thank you both for your help

I can not perform software updates or download any programs. They appear in the download box as images that are not recognized. How can I fix this?

I can not perform software updates or download any programs. They appear in the download box as images that are "not recognized". I thought maybe my antivirus software was setting up a firewall, but I have disabled it, so that's not the case. Any suggestions as to how I can fix this?

If the downloads are gone, it's possible that Windows is removing the downloads based on security policies set in IE. I realize that sounds strange, but it's related to Firefox's feature of submitting downloads to your virus scanner and marking them as having come from the internet.
To test this theory, you could try disabling the scan feature. I assume you have good "real time" antivirus protection which checks every file saved to your hard drive. (If not, you really should get that, and you can use Microsoft's free [http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/security-essentials Microsoft Security Essentials] for now until you have time to review all the available choices.)
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''scan''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Double-click '''browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone''' to toggle its value.
Firefox now should ignore Windows' download security. Does it change how Windows handles the file?

Features that are not supported by Excel in the browser and interactive reports will be removed from the saved copy

I Created a power view in Excel 2013 and uploaded to my Power BI for o365 site.
But when i click on my excel file it opens in browser,After that i click on File tab its showing me two option
1. Save a Copy
2.Download a copy
When i click on save a copy its showing me an warning below
Features that are not supported by Excel in the browser and interactive reports will be removed from the saved copy.
Continue with Save?
If i continue saving it only saves an excel files with data only not the power view which i want to save with applied filters.
Please help me for this

Just to clarify, when you hit the option of Save As Copy, the whole experience goes into a "read-write" mode in Excel services, which currently doesn't support authoring, just consumption of PowerView sheets.
Two mitigations that come to mind:
1. Download the copy (as Brad suggests), rename the file and upload.
2. Use the send to option of SharePoint online, give the file the right target document library (can be the same as source) and rename the file:

How can I display images that are not included in any collection?

How can I display images that are not included in any collection (some filter or smart collection)? A smart collection with parameters "Collection - contains - empty field" does not work. Lightroom 5.

Thank you! Good idea! I ordered letters of the alphabet (space separated), and it works.

False returns - search brings back images that are not tagged

If I search on, for example, "Bag", I get all the images that I have tagged with "Bag", but then get a whole load more that do not have that word in their keywords (not even as part of another word) - where is the search engine finding the word "Bag"? I have had this with some other words too... Any ideas?

The search has many options, some loose some tight. Seems like if you have "contains" and "all criteria met" it should exclude all images that are not tagged "bag". If you have "any criteria met" then you could get other files, but still seems like "bag" would have to be in there someplace.

How to view songs that are not in any playlist

I am using iTunes 6.04.
I want to be able to view songs in my Library that are not associated with ANY playlist. How can this be done? Please don't suggest to me upgrading to iTunes 7.02. (with every iTunes update, Apple makes is more difficult to do the things Apple doesn't want you to be able to do).
Thanks
Ben

Please be patient. If you don't get a reply within a few hours, obviously nobody passed by who knew the answer to your question.
After all we're just fellow users trying to help as these are user-to-user forums.
I have an answer.
Run one of these scripts:
Not In Any Playlist will create a text listing of songs that are not in any playlist.
Not In Any Playlist To Playlist will put songs that are not in any playlist into a new playlist.
Hope this helps.

Weird photos (gifs. jpg.) appearing in images that are not mine

When I look in images on my desktop mac there are weird gifs and jpgs that are not mine. Where did they come from and how do I get rid of them?

They may belong to the system, or to applications. The "All Images" search shows you images all across your hard drive, not just in your personal pictures folder. When you scroll down and click on an image in that search list, the status bar at the bottom of the window will tell you the path for that image. That will tell you what application it belongs to. Most of the time, you don't want to delete images that belong to the system or apps, since it can prevent things from working correctly.

HT204406 One of my playlists is "ineligible" because it supposedly contains items that are not songs. I unchecked the boxes for those songs, and it's STILL unavailable. Is there a fix for this?

One of my playlists is marked "ineligible" because it supposedly contains items that are not music. I went through the playlist and unchecked anything of the sort, and it still says it's ineligible. Is there another way to fix this?

I have tried all those things I even updated the software to the new iOS system and it still did fix my problem.
What happened is that my garage band looks like it will open then it shuts down.
I have lot of important things on my garage band and I'm afraid that if I uninstall it deleting it then reinstalling it all my work on it will be gone and I can't have that happen.
Everyday I am hoping that when i go to open the app that is will work but it doesn't it gets ready to turn on then it shuts off , the app doesn't even open all the way and turns off.
I really hope I don't have to erase it.
It'll say it's ,lading my songs then it shuts down .
If I waited for the App Store to come up with an update for garage band should I wait till then to update my app so it doesn't get damaged . I don't want to erase it and all my data get erased . I figured if I wait for an update then my garage band will reset itself but won't delete my data. I'm not sure if that will help. Is there anything you or anyone else might know that can help me with this matter ?
Thank you

Can I upload images that are not photos?

Alright, so to start off I am new to macs. I want to make a website for a project I am currently working on and I want to include on a few of my pages some .jpg/.gif files that are not photos. I have tried looking through everywhere to figure out how to upload them. Can I do it? Or am I being an idiot and just missing something? Thanks

Ah ha, I had missed it at first but now I am enlightened. Just go to Insert and click on choose to add the file. Silly me.

What's the best way to merge, restore or reconstruct iPhoto and Aperture libraries to resolve images that are not found/offline?

Hey there, Apple Support Communities.
To start, I'm working on a MBP Retina 15" with a 2.3GHz i7 processor and 16 GB of RAM. 10GB free on a 256GB SS HD. Attached are two external HDs - one 1TB Western Digital portable drive from 2011, one 2TB Porsche LaCie non-portable drive from 2013; both connected via USB. All photo libraries in question are on the external drives.
I have Aperture 3.5.1 and iPhoto 9.5.1. I prefer to work in Aperture.
The Issue(s)
Over the years, I have accumulated a number of iPhoto libraries and Aperture libraries. At one point, I thought my WD drive was dying so I purchased the LaCie and copied all libraries over the the LaCie drive. (Turns out, there's probably an issue with my USB port reading drives, because I can once again see the WD drive and occasionally I can't see the LaCie drive.)
So now I have old version of some libraries on the WD drive, and new versions on the LaCie drive.
When I was moving things, I ran the software Gemini to de-dupe my iPhoto libraries. Not sure what effect that may have had on my issues.
In my main Aperture library and in some iPhoto libraries, I get the image-not-found badge or exclamation point. I've dug through the hidden Masters folders in various libraries to find the original image. In some cases, I have been able to find the original image, sometimes in a different version of the iPhoto library.
My Question(s)
1. For Aperture libraries that have missing originals, is there some magical way to find them, or have they just disappeared into the oblivion?
2. For iPhoto libraries that have missing originals and I have found the original in another iPhoto library, what is the best way to proceed?
3. Are there quirks to merging iPhoto and Aperture libraries (by using the Import->Library) feature that I should be aware of?
TL;DR: Too many iPhoto and Aperture libraries, and not all the original pictures can be found by the libraries anymore, though some originals still do exist in other libraries. Steps/process to fix?
Thank you! Let me know if you need add'l info to offer advice.
With appreciation,
Christie

That will not be an easy task, Christie.
I am afraid, your cleaning session with Gemini may have actually removed originals. I have never used this duplicate finder tool, but other posters here reported problems. Gemini seems to replace duplicate original files in photo libraries by links, and this way, deleting images can cause the references for other images to break. And Aperture does not follow symbolic links - at least, I could never get it to find original files this way, when I experimented with this.
1. For Aperture libraries that have missing originals, is there some magical way to find them, or have they just disappeared into the oblivion?
You have to find the originals yourself. If you can find them or restore them from a backup, Aperture can reconnect them. The reconnect panel can show you, where the originals are supposed to be, so youcan see the filename and make a Spotlight search.
For iPhoto libraries that have missing originals and I have found the original in another iPhoto library, what is the best way to proceed?
Make a copy of the missing original you found in a folder outside the iPhoto library. You can either open the iPhoto library in Aperture and use "File > Locate Referenced file" to reconnect the originals, or simply reimport them. Then Lift&Stamp all adjustments and metadata to the reimported version.
See this manual page on how to reconnect originals: Aperture 3 User Manual: Working with Referenced Images (the paragraph: Reconnecting Missing or Offline Referenced Images)
Are there quirks to merging iPhoto and Aperture libraries (by using the Import->Library) feature that I should be aware of?
References images will stay referenced, managed will remain managed. You need to unhide all hidden photos in iPhoto - this cannot be done in Aperture.
and not all the original pictures can be found by the libraries anymore, though some originals still do exist in other libraries. Steps/process to fix?
That is probably due to Gemini's replacing duplicate originals by links, and your best cause of action is to fix this before merging the libraries. Reconnecting can be done for your iPhoto libraries in Aperture.

MS publisher 2010 to PDF using Adobe Acrobat X Pro produces outlines on some of my images that are not there on the publisher file!

I am helping a client publish a book through Createspace. We are both using Windows 8 OS. She created her document in MS Publisher 2010. I made the necessary edits to her book, (111 pages) and saved it as a pdf for commercial printing. The resulting pdf puts lines on some of the images. (All the images are jpg format, but it only happens to some.) I have tried creating the pdf in several different ways including print to PDF, Save as PDF, and Save and Send Wizard for commercial printing. I have also tried deleting and reinserting the images. I don't know what else to try. Does anyone have any ideas.
The image below shows what I mean. On the left is the Publisher File, on the right is the PDF.

I agree with your statement; even for a particular document, if I choose to "Print on both sides" and then print again immediately after, "Print on both sides" will be deselected.
However, I'm not sure what you're implying by you're statement. I'm asking precisely why this setting isn't sticky. Acrobat uses a non-standard printer dialog; in the usual dialog I can easily set a defualt duplex setting. I almost always want to print duplex. Why can't I do this by default in Acrobat?

HT2486 TO MORE QUICKLY FIND CONTACT THAT ARE NOT FAMILIAR, CAN I DISPLAY THE ADDRESS BOOK IN A MORE OPEN FASHION, LIKE OUTLOOK "ADDRESS CARDS"

How many different views are there available in Address Book?
I can not find a way to display the raw alpha list or multiple cards within an alph letter
Thanks, I am new to Mac and learning the many limitations and some of the advantages.

Thanks very much for your reply.
I did see the ability to flip between the two levels of the data. However, that isn't the same thing as what could be done previously, and what I used to do/the functionality I'd like back.
Flipping back and forth between the two sets of pages makes it harder for how I worked because I make extensive notes about the contacts in the notes field. I need to see those notes to know if I want to move that contact to another group. So you would need to constantly flip back and forth when before it was just scrolling a list and dragging the contact when you saw one that needed to be added to a group.
Bottom line is without the third "window" or view to all three levels of the data open at the same time, much of what I need to do is very difficult now.
I don't have a small screen, and would like to be able to use it. I don't like the idea of having limits imposed and having to work around what used to be there. That is going backwards, not forward.

Photoshop to pdf creates text and images that are not sharp. Why?

I know that Photoshop is not the premier pdf creation software. I do have InDesign as well, but I'm much more familiar and comfortable with Photoshop (I have the CC versions of both) so I prefer to use it as my design and layout tool.
However, when I save as a pdf the resultant pdf file is blurry for images and text, not horribly so, but not sharp and clear as I would like. My pdf files are for the web and emailing so I need to keep the file size in check, but even when I up the PS resolution to 300psi it still is not as clear as I would like. Still blurry.
What do you Photoshop experts out there do to produce the sharpest pdf possible? Is it even possible using Photoshop only or do you have to use InDesign or Acrobat Pro to get the clarity and shapness?

This is kind of like saying "I know that a screwdriver is the correct tool for inserting screws, but I'm much more comfortable using a hammer, so I prefer to just hammer the screws in."
It works, sort of. But the results will never be as good. And you wouldn't want to use the screwdriver with nails, either. There are two different tool (programs) for a reason, and I think once you learn InDesign, you will find it to be a much better layout tool than Photoshop.

IPhoto 11, how do I view photos that are not assigned to any album?

I am trying to orginize my photo library (iPhoto 11) a bit better. I have 7,500 photos and I'm looking to find which ones are not in any album. I saw sugesstions for iPhoto 09 where you can make a smart folder for that very situation, however I don't see that ability in 11. Any suggestions? Thanks

File -> New Smart Album
Album -> Is not -> Any
