Adding Image from web or downloading linked images to iphoto

Has never worked for me and am wondering if anyone else having same problem. Have looked for any instance of this topic and not having much success here either.
All I've wanted to do is this:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/automator/example2.html
I've posted similar topic in automator but realize this is more likely an issue with iPhoto and not automator but who knows.
I follow the directions of Apples own design to download photos to a folder and then transfer them into an album in iPhoto. Each time I do so, I get the follow error message:
__Can't make «class impo» of application "iPhoto" into type boolean. (-1700)__
The script downloads to the folder.. it was the "pictures" folder at first but read somewhere that may not be a good idea to download into same folder as the library. Either way, still doesn't work.
I'm running iPhoto 7.0.2 now but this has happened on past versions as well.
Things I've tried:
1. Moved the current library to a new drive and deleted the original.
2. Created a new library in system drive.
3. Delete plist of iphoto
4. Delete plist of automator
5. Redid the automator script
6. Tried downloading pics into different folder.. one other than the user's Picture folder.
7. The script will write the new "album" in to iphoto but doesn't go any further...refer to above error message.
8. Just to see if it will import.. I run the import function from iphot itself and it works.. I now have the pics.
Not the way the web page says this should work.

Not sure I can help you with Automator but here's two options:
Hazel (http://www.noodlesoft.com/hazel.php) will watch a folder for you and import the pics to a specified album
Or
Right click on the iPhoto Package File in Pictures and go 'Show Package Contents' In the resulting window you'll see a folder called 'Auto Import'. Make an alias to the folder and drag it to the desktop. Pics dropped onto that folder will be imported the next time iPhoto launches.

  • Unable to export image from Webi to  excel.

    Hi,
    Can any one provide solution for export image from webi to excel( 3.1 & 4.0).
    Thanks,
    Praveen

    given link(https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1299111) is not working.
    the above link contain
    Symptom
    Unable to Export images from a Web Intelligence report to Microsoft Excel.
    A Web Intelligence report is created using images to denote alerts. The report works OK in Web Intelligence but when exported to Microsoft Excel, the images do not display.
      Environment  
    Business Objects Enterprise XI Release 2
    Business Objects Enterprise XI 3.1
      Reproducing the Issue  
    Create a simple Web Intelligence document.
    Add a blank cell and within that cell link it to an image. (Either set as background for the cell or Image URL.)
    Save and export to Excel. The image will not be displayed.
    Cause
    Web Intelligence export engine does not support the export of images to excel.
    Resolution
    In BI4.0, Web Intelligence export engine does support the export of images to excel.
    Workaround 1 :
    Most image formats are supported in PDF export. Users may be able to use that as an alternative.
    Workaround 2 :
    If images are required in the final Excel document, the user would need to recreate those image links manually in Excel.

  • Put a image from web on indesign with quality problem....

    Hello,
    sorry my english, but I'll try...
    I need use a lot of images from web, to make a document designed on indesign, and after try with all extension or formats, I mean, tif, png, pdf, jpg, psd, with different resolutions, 72, 150, 300, and different bit depths, 8, 16, 32, and no way... always the image when I put on indesign the image appear pixelate or with bad quality...
    can you help me with that?
    Is urgent, because is for my thesis work...
    thank you..

    ...Now, it seems strange that in word, the images work better than indesign... The subject is that I want work with indesign, because I thought that this software was designed for this theme... and then, you think that there is not a solution for this problem?
    pablovenegas,
    Please realize that Microsoft Word is specifically designed for word processing application, while Adobe InDesign is specifically designed for high-quality professional-grade layout application –where InDesign outputs highest-quality output. I don't use Word app for years.
    To place images onto InDesign document, it is recommended that you place HIGHEST QUALITY of image - at least 300ppi. If you place 72ppi on InDesign, it is HOW you place that specific web-quality image on InDesign. InDesign didn't do anything wrong, it is HOW you put the web image on.
    Word of advice, do you have a permission to use all of those web images captures off the Internet without website owner, or any copyright owner's written permission. If you haven't done so, just stop doing what you are doing (web screen captures off these webistes for your own benefit or pleasure, but cannot use any of these images for commerical use). Just free two-cent advice. In closing, all I can say, be cautious and careful.
    Best of luck!

  • Images from web path won't show in Crystal Reports XI R2

    Hi, I have a problem with my Crystal Report XI R2. I am trying to get images from web as well as static google map using OLE object. After setting the Graphic Location. No images are shown. I am using Windows XP SP3.
    Also, I tried to create a simple report using same program and version installed in my Windows 7 Laptop. I inserted OLE object with graphic location from web like http://www.domain.com/image.jpg and it appears... same as with google static map with given latitude and longitude. And it works!
    Is there any problem with my windows XP machine? any video card issue or dot net version issue or firewall issue?
    Please help. Thanks

    To add to Don's reply. Fiddler is a great HTTP sniffing utility that should be able to tell you what is happening as far as the permissions, etc., etc.

  • Download linked images quickly (was: Downloading images)

    Hi everyone,
    I have a web page (on someone else's website) where I can click a link to a high-resolution image in order to download it. The page has about 50 links to high-res images on it so I would need to click once for every single link. I'm not able to access this page via FTP so downloading each of the images is going to be quite a slow process so I wondered if there was a way to speed the process up using dreamweaver or a DW plugin. Is there a way to download a whole lot of linked images on a page in a quicker way using Dreamweaver?
    Really appreciate any help.

    Oh boy. Years ago (many) I remember discussing a plugin that would crawl a site and download all linked resources, but I can't recall the name and a quick search turned up nothing. And of course if you did find it, no guarantee that it would work with current version. I did find this :http://www.tucows.com/article/1504
    and there are probably similar plugins for other browsers as well.

  • Resizing Images from Web

    I just purchased the iwork package (I usually get the Mac Office stuff) and am having trouble with web image files. When I attempt to drag an image from the web to my presentation and resize it it looks very pixelated and fuzzy. What am I doing wrong?

    It sounds like you are dragging a thumbnail from the web and when it is enlarged in keynote it is pixelated. Try to find images with a higher resolution. For my classroom presentation I use a lot of photos that I will use only once, and I usually trash them right away, I use flcker frequently for a source of images and I have had no problems, for clip art I use clipart.com but you must pay a membership fee to download the larger sizes.
    Hope this help

  • Safari is not showing some images from web properly

    Hi. Since last week some pictures from web are not showing properly on safari & mail apps.
    Whenever I go to websites with relatively many images, some of the images are only showing top halves and the bottom halves are solid black.
    This has never happened before.
    As it was so annoying, I've tried deleting safari history, cookies, and web data, and I also tried network reset.
    None of them worked.
    What's weird is that this issue doesn't happen when I'm using wifi, but happens when I use LTE.
    My signal dots are full 5, and LTE is still faster than my wifi.
    what can I try next?

    You can fix the issue temporarily by going to Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data.  Note that this will log out of any website you were logged in to, and will clear your browsing history (if you use suggested websites from your history when going to new pages), but it will reset the cache containing the incorrect images.
    Another way to fix this issue temporarily is to use Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website Data and swipe to delete only those domains that have incorrect images.  This does the equivalent of clearing website data, but only for the specific site removed.  Note that images are frequently served from different domains than the host site, so you must clear the domains where the images are stored.  Also, this page doesn't have a way to filter the list, so you must look through it manually, which is why I don't suggest it as the first option.
    BTW, the majority of posts reporting this issue appear to be AT&T customers.

  • Website image and zip file download links not working in Dreamweaver Air application

    Hi
    I have successfully created and AIR app for an existing business website using the Dreamweaver AIR Extension. The site works very well in all respects except for the part where we have high resolution images and zip files available for download. The download links refuse to do anything, and right-click (PC) / ctl-click (Mac) does nto work either.
    I suspect this may be an AIR sandbox/security issue but am I correct and what can I do to fix it?
    Thanks in advance for any assistance you may be able to give.

    I am now facing the same problem. I wrote a servlet .
    code like this
             response = (HttpServletResponse) faces.getExternalContext().getResponse();
             response.setContentType("application/x-download");
             String agent = request.getHeader("USER-AGENT");
             boolean isIE=false;            
            if (null != agent && agent.indexOf("MSIE")!=-1) { 
                isIE=true;
            if (isIE) {
                fileName = URLEncoder.encode(fileName, "UTF-8");
            } else {
                fileName = new String(fileName.getBytes("utf-8"), "ISO-8859-1");
            response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename="+fileName);
            ServletOutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
            byte b[]=new byte[1024];
            int n;
            while((n=in.read(b))!=-1){
                os.write(b,0,n);
           in.close();
           os.close();
    and i open a new window refer to above jsp ,also i set a breakPoint at os.close(),the program has passed through,but nothing happened in the window.
    If i use IE or FF ,the browser will open a small window to allow me select whether open or  save the file.So can anybody give me some advice.Is it because air using webkit engine and the engine does not do this kind of job?
            Thanks.

  • Photoshop CS5 - drag images from web into photoshop issue

    Has anyone had this happen or know a solution? Photoshop CS5 at work does this, but the one I bought for home doesn't... weird
    When I drag an image from the web directly into Photoshop, the program almost freezes, I can select tools, but cant use them, I can get the handles to display with Free Transform, but then cant scale it. I have to actually close the file, then re-open it to continue working.

              The exact same thing happens with my photoshop CS5! very irritating! My boyfriends photoshop CS5 works fine and does not have this problem either! HELP!

    Yeah originally I was like "oh it's not as good as I thought it was gonna be" bot once you get used to some of the intricacies its actually a really nice phone.. could just do with being a little faster especially when you go to widescreen and back.
    If you want some really nice themes, check out the ones by NCA such as Se7en blue.
