Apple TV: Problems displaying photos properly

I have sync'd the Apple TV to my "My Pictures" folder. For some reason when viewing a slideshow of these photos some of them that are shown in "portrait" on my computer are displaying in "landscape" on the tv. I'm stumped on how this happened and what to do to correct it. It doesn't turn all photos to landscape so I don't know what is unique about the ones it has done that to. Any ideas for me? It's driving me nuts!
Thanks!

These are probably JPGs.
Photos are either truly portrait i.e. they're saved from an editor with data organised in this orientation, or have their orientation set by various flags.
Many cameras will set a 'flag' to indicate the camera was held portrait during shooting but not all do.
Resaving JPGs as portrait will usually recompress them losing quality due to reordering rows and columns, but there is a flag in the JPEG header that can control orientation without affecting the data and is referred to as lossless rotation, and some software can change this setting.
If an image is truly Portrait then it should show ok on AppleTV.
The potential problem lies with the other 2 methods.
Sometimes only the manufacturer's display/editing software knows that a shot was portrait (due to a manyfacturer's flag in the EXIF data) - consequently it shows it ok, but other apps or devices still think it's a landscape image.
I can't remember if AppleTv handles lossless JPEG rotation or not.
Windows XP's image preview rotation function isn't lossless (last time I used it anyway), so any photos rotated with that should show as portrait.
Can you remember how you rotated images to portrait, or if the viewing software on XP just knew they were?
A portrait image could also have a rotation flag set that makes it show landcsape even when it isn't.

Problems displaying photos

My new VAIO doesn’t display photographs properly. For example, there are color changes in the shadowed portions of portraits, so that the shadowed side of the face looks pink instead of skin color. The same problem appears in landscape pictures – the colors of the shadowed portions are not correct. The problem occurs in Photoshop CS5, Firefox, and Windows Photo Viewer but not in Paint, for some reason. Does anyone have a solution? I work a lot with photo processing so it is really important for me to fix this problem ASAP. Thanks in advance!

In addition to changing the monitor profile to sRGB as suggested, check your display imaging at this website:
http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/
Pay particular attention to the Contrast, Gamma Calibration, Black Level, White Saturation, and Gradient (banding) tests. You can use this site as a "poor man's" monitor calibrator, but it won't help you to set accurate screen color temperature or luminance level. Any hardware monitor calibrator will do that for you and adjust your screen for more accurate colors. I wouldn't use Lightroom without one, since you are making your “visual" image adjustments with an unknown frame of reference!
You have severe posterization in the shadow area of the posted screen capture. This might be due to a bad monitor profile, graphics driver, Windows Display Setup issue, or simply a problem with these pictures. The Langom website tests will tell you more.

Photo viewer not displaying photos properly

when i go to photos viewer n open any pic,d pic open wit a blur image n a ring on top of it keeps rotating keepin d pic in blur state. When zoom the pic shows properly but d ring still keep rotating. However not able to view d pics in small size. Its just keep it blur state.

Haven't figured it out yet, but will post if I find a solution.
The problem is, I'm trying to find a solution to a whole host of other problems on my N97, e.g. The problems I'm having with GPS (Maps 2 and 3 are both currently unusable), the problems I'm having getting my widgets, email etc to detect which connection I need using etc, the problems I'm having with reception, the problems I'm having with my ringtone etc. So this photo viewer problem is just another issue to add to the list.
As for the Facebook App, if I take a picture using the camera link within the application, it won't let me upload anyway, so I've stopped using it. I just use the standard Facebook Mobile site as the Nokia Facebook App is so slow, it's borders on useless.

Problems displaying photo

Hi All,
In the first place, I've already searched for this topic and I didn't find any suitable solution, maybe that's because I'm a newbie.
Windows XP
Oracle XE 11.2
APEX 4.0.2.00.09
It is a school application. 3 Pages.
Page 1: login
Page 2:
HTML Text with an automatic row fetch sowing pupils data, also there is an item DISPLAY IMAGE called P2_DISPLAY_FOTO that reference the actual database column containing the BLOB, everything works great.
I can see the pupils data with corresponding photo.
There is a button (named TEST) that will redirect to Page 3.
There is an After Region Computation that will store
the BLOB information into a hidden item called P3_DISPLAY_FOTO. This is a pl/sql Function Body, and this is what it does:
return '<img src="'||apex_util.get_blob_file_src('P2_DISPLAY_FOTO',:P2_ALUMNOS_DNI)||'" />';
P2_ALUMNOS_DNI is the primary key for the table containing the BLOB column.
Page 3:
This page will be used to perform some calculations for the chosen pupil from Page 2, and I need to show data from previous Page 2, such as Name, Last Name, and PHOTO.
The thing is, I DO NOT WANT TO ACCESS DATABASE AGAIN TO GET THE BLOB and name and last name, I'm trying to avoid unnecessary database queries.
There is no problem to show again pupil name and last name. But I cannot display the corresponding photo.
In order to display the photo again, this is what I did:
- I created a subregion as html text with shortcuts
- defined as region source = &P3_DISPLAY_FOTO.
wich has been set on Page 2 after region computations
Well, it does'n work, the sub region will show the following string:
<img src="apex_util.get_blob_file?a=103&s=326193120935733&p=2&d=7366714062123782&i=8726421562708554&p_pk1=20912349&p_pk2=&p_ck=0B5CD62FA1A56005CA6AB150510F60C3" />
The strange thing is:
I tried to replace the region source
&P3_DISPLAY_FOTO.
for
<img src="apex_util.get_blob_file?a=103&s=326193120935733&p=2&d=7366714062123782&i=8726421562708554&p_pk1=20912349&p_pk2=&p_ck=0B5CD62FA1A56005CA6AB150510F60C3" width = "200px" />
and it works.
I also tried to define the sub region with region source=
htp.p('<div class="sparepartImgContainer">');
htp.p('&P3_DISPLAY_FOTO.');
htp.p('</div>');
but it doesn't work either.
Hope my explanation is clear.
I'll try testing some other ideas in the meanwhile...
any ideas will be appreciated.
Thank you
Regards.
Found how to fix this.
On Page 2, I changed the P3_DISPLAY_FOTO computation
from
return '<img src="'||apex_util.get_blob_file_src('P2_DISPLAY_FOTO',:P2_ALUMNOS_DNI)||'" />';
to
return ' '||apex_util.get_blob_file_src('P2_DISPLAY_FOTO',:P2_ALUMNOS_DNI)||' ';
And I changed Page 3 sub region region source
from
&P3_DISPLAY_FOTO.
to
<img src=&P3_DISPLAY_FOTO. />
Now everything works great.
Sorry to disturb you all.
Regards

Hard drive noise & problem displaying photos

I have a 2 day old Ipod Video. I uploaded photos and when I try to display them, the hard drive vibrates slightly and makes noise. Plus, it takes forever for the Photo Library to load. I do not have this problem playing music or videos. Sounds like I may need to return it. Any input would be appreciated.
5th G Ipod Windows XP

It is normal for the library to take long to load sometimes, depending on how many photos you have. Happens to mine too once in awhile. Are pictures totally not loading or are they just taking awhile to load?

Problem displaying gauge properly

Hello.
I have an analysis where I am trying to display a percentage on a gauge, but it doesn't display properly. That gauge is on flash mode. When I configure Presentation Services to display only images, that gauge displays right.
This case happens only on my production server which has the same installation that on my development server, where that gauges displays right.
Does anyone have any idea what is going on?
I don't have special configuration on my instanceconfig.xml same as on development environment. I am running a 11.1.1.5 on red hat linux 5 for 64 bits.
I don't know what kind of information you need to help me out, but just ask.
Take a look at this image to see what I am taking about: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9758025/Clipboard01.jpg
Thank you in advance.

Problem Displaying Photos Attached to an Email

On my U530, I cannot display a photo that is sent to me as an attachment to an email. When I click on the photo, I am taken to Lenovo Photos and the photo is not displayed, not can I figure out how to display it. Is there a way that I can just display the photos in some other manner?

Try downloading the photo/photos and determine the type (that is png, jpeg, etc.). Try openning it with other program (you can use paint) by right clicking the photo file and choosing the other program if it can't be open by Lenovo Photo.

Apple TV problems viewing photo events

I have recently updated my second generation Apple TV. Since then the events when viewing the photos on the TV are in age order, oldest first. With over 13,000 images spanning a number of years I have a lot of events and so scrolling through all these to get to the ones I've just added is very annoying and time consuming. I have tried altering the order in iPhoto, restarted itunes and also have been all through the Apple TV menu settings. Does anyone have any ideas how I can get the order back to the original settings which was most recent first?
Also, not nearly as annoying but when listening to music with the screen saver on occasionally instead of a picture showing a album cover pops up, does anyone know how to stop this?
Both of these only started happening since updating the Apple TV to the latest software.
Thanks in advance

I have to unplug my skybox whenever I want to use it in order to be able to switch it on, then occasionally it will disappear in the middle of something and then I need to remove my card, wipe it, put it back in and restart again.
Time to get rid of it then.
I did in August and don't miss it one bit.

Self explanatory.
You could try creating an iPod version of the films.
Use CTRL and B to display the Menu bar shown above. Alternatively, use the ALT key, followed by the F key, the W key and finally the I (eye) key - that's (menu)/File/Create New Version/Create iPod or iPhone version.

Apple TV - No cigar for displaying photo's.

I am disappointed and frustrated by the new Apple TV facility to display photo's.
My photo's are stored on my computer in Nikon RAW format (NEF) I don't want to have to convert them to JPEG's just to do a photo session on the TV. I would also end up with two copies of every shot which is a real pain. If google picasa can display raw images why not apple TV and iTunes.
Also I can understand only having 720p for movies. (1080p/i would need to much broadband bandwidth.) But for displaying pictures which are only coming from a PC or MAC I would really want 1080p to make my photo's really shout at people.

With the old sync model I'd have to disagree - AppleTV would output to devices up to 1080p, so there was little point having video dimensions much beyond 1920x1080ish (non standard for any DSLR or digicam ) except to accomodate zooming/Ken Burns effects.
There was also little point sending 10-20MB files to AppleTV's limited storage when a JPEG would suffice.
With the new streaming model however this changes - itunes should be able to accomnodate RAW file streaming as nothing actually gets stored - it need not send the original RAW only a derivative. Th eonly problem is that for on the fly conversion, many RAW files would choke iTunes in the process, so what it needs is to pre-render the derivative file transparently to the user well in advance of needing to use it.
Personally I see no point in having true native RAW support on AppleTV.
AppleTV should really be used to show either the procesed RAW file content or an as shot derivative.
Assuming RAW display capability would give superior results is wrong.
The RAW file is the starting point, the digital negative, the derivative processed file is the final output.

Photo problem display

Anyone here encountered any problem uploading photos in your Nano?
Mine, after uploading the photos it did not displayed properly. It looks/shows like negative film.
I tried to sync it to my pc w/o Itunes (10) and was able to view the photos correctly. (full colors)
Any help will be very much appreciated. Thanks!

I'm also extremely disappointed with that feature. They may as well just called it "Inverted"

HT204291 Using Azul media player app on my ipad Apple tv will only display sound but not video from movies. Any ideas on a fix. I set mirroring to on but it still does not display video. It will display photos and video recorded from my iphone.

Using Azul media player app on my ipad Apple tv will only display sound but not video from movies. Any ideas on a fix. I set mirroring to on but it still does not display video. It will display photos and video recorded from my iphone.

Here are the steps for AirPlay:
Before starting Azul from your (running iOS 5.x/6.x) home screen where have have all your apps we need to turn on mirroring
On your iPhone 4S/5 or iPad 2 or 3, double-click the Home Button to view your recently-used apps.
Swipe all the way to the right to until you see the icon.
Note: If the icon does not appear, go to the "If AirPlay Mirroring is not visible or available on your mobile iOS device" section.
Tap the icon to see the list of available AirPlay devices.
Enable AirPlay Mirroring in this menu by tapping on an available Apple TV, then sliding the Mirroring slider to ON.
Now you should be seeing your iPad/iPhone on your TV.
Start up Azul now and using the settings icon on the top right corner go to the option that say "TV out" ON.
When you do that you will see an Orange screen
Now click "Done" and play the video you want to watch and it will AirPlay

Problems viewing RAW photos properly in Photoshop/Lightroom/ACR

Hey folks. New here and looking to find some assistance with a problem I'm having in Photoshop CS4, Lightroom 2 and Adobe Camera Raw 5.7 when attemtping to view RAW photos straight from my Canon 450D. My computer is a Mac PowerPC G5 running OS X 10.5.8 with a single 1.8Ghz CPU and 3.5Gb of RAM. Photoshop CS4 is version 11.0.2. Lightroom is version 2.7. Adobe Camera Raw is version 5.7.
What I am having problems with is viewing RAW photos from my camera in all of these applications. No problems are encountered with any other file type such as PNG or jpg.
I have attached a screen capture of what I am seeing when I open a .CR2 RAW image in Camera RAW before opening in Photoshop. As you can see, the software seems to be having a difficult time rendering the photo properly. I can view these files on other computers using the Canon software that came with my camera. I get this same problem if I view the image in Lightroom.
As far as I know, I can't upgrade to PS CS5 or LR 3 because I am still running on the PPC architecture, so I need to find how to fix this without having to buy a Mac Pro and the newest software.
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot? If the screenshot is too small, I can provide the full-res version.

I'm well-versed in forum ettiquette, thank you. I do, however, see no problem why posting about this problem once in each forum covering the software involved in my problem would be an issue. If I posted about the problem in only one forum, let's say in the Lightroom forum, and the problem was experience by another person who did not use Lightroom and would not be browsing the Lightroom forum for help, how would they have come across this post? Unless they also looked in the Photoshop forum, they might not have seen this post. So where's the harm in having it viewed by a greater number of individuals?
With that aside, my problem is now resolved. After looking around a bit more on the forums here last night, I came across a thread started by a fellow who was experiencing the same issue as I, except he had newer versions of the software. Someone had replied to his post suggesting that it could have been faulty RAM modules and that they once experienced similar issues which were resovled by replacing the RAM. This was good news to me, since I had just purchased additional RAM for my Mac last week. It arrived today and I installed it and booted the Mac up. I purged any cache files used by these three software titles and then reattempted opening a RAW image in Photoshop. I took my latest RAW images from my camera, exported them to a USB thumb drive, and then from there exported them to my Mac. I tried to open on of the images in Photoshop and it opened successfully with ACR along with a complete and pristine preview of the image. Open the other RAW images in Lightroom, no problems.

13" MacBook Pro and Apple 27" LED Display Not Sleeping Properly

I recently purchased a new 13" MacBook Pro (MacBookPro8,1) and a 27" Apple LED Cinema Display. When they are connected the computer occasionally has a problem being put to sleep. When clicking sleep, the monitor will take a little while to shut off, but in about 10 seconds, it will turn back on. Immediately when turning on, the image on the screen is quite scrambled (it does correct itself). Usually, if I attempt to put it to sleep multiple times, it will end up working. When it does go to sleep (correctly), the screen will turn off much faster than the times where it doesn't sleep.
Anyone else have a similar issue they found a fix to? When speaking to Apple support, they thought it was part of an issue with 10.6.6, however, the update to 10.6.7 did not solve the issue.
PS - I keep my MacBook Pro lid closed when using the display.

By the way, please be aware of a scam - iyogi
Online Technical Support - Call (AU Toll Free) 1-800-029-076.
www.iyogi.com/Apple-Support
I saw Apple support and called the number, it ended when I was asked to pay to fix my problem.
I'm not aware of the company, but from what you said I don't see how that's a scam. The advert clearly only says the call is free, not the support. Why should they give free technical support?
