Background image vertically distorted -appears ok when paused and restarted

using 768 x 576 .jpg images as background for a PAL standard idvd:
- when burned with "PAL"Standard (4:3)" / "professional quality" (movie length is 55 min,)
- & watching on a laptop/a mac g5 / a windows pc
the images appeared vertically distorted
but:
when pausing and restarting the dvd again the image
changes to the desired size
even when i used a quicktime as background movie
the same problem occurs
whereas:
the display on a TV* was fine
(given that a 4:3 ratio was set for a widescreen tv or using a 4:3 ratio TV)
when i did not use any image (burning just the movie)
nothing appeared to be distorted (the movie is not distorted
neither are the no-images-no-backgrounds-at-all menu screens)
Is there any specific colour depth or other technical information
i need to consider to solve this problem?
... I noticed that the colour of the image looks significantly different
on a TV compared to laptop/mac/windows pc
whereas the movie's colour appears to be quite similar
on TV/laptop/mac/windows pc ....

Thank you for trying to help, I really appreciate it.
It does not matter which option you use. As you know, one would want the background image on each page of a site to be the same size and location to provide a seamless transition from page to page. When using the blank template, the page can have an image put in (using fit, fill, stretch, orig) and be contiguous from page to page. However, when using the Photo template, after clicking on an album image to view larger, the background image unexplicably shifts/distorts downward on the page, and stays that way even upon returning to the album.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Itunes contstantly pausing and restarting

My iPhone 3g is constantly pausing and restarting when used in my car connected to an auxiliary input. I am running a simple wire 3.5mm (headphone port) wire from the iphone to another 3.5mm (headphone port) I have built into my car. For whatever reason when using this setup the itunes app in iphone will constantly freeze not allowing me to listen to music. I've tried replacing the cable which allowed it to work briefly but the problem has started again, any thoughts? Does apple offer a standard cable for something like this?

Hello j0dy77, limeylove88,
If the issue is present with multiple systems, then it is likely that there is something going on with the iPhone iteslf. The iPod starting up automatically should not happen unless you quit the iPod function by disconnecting the audio cable previously.
You may want to try restoring the iPhone and setting it up as a new phone per this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Before you restore the iPhone, you will want to follow these steps to preserve the data on your iPhone:
Open Preferences from the Edit Menu.
Select the Devices tab.
Put a check in the "Disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods" box.
Connect your iPhone and sync (this will create a fresh backup file in iTunes for later).
Once the sync is complete, follow the restore section of the article.
At the end of the restore process, you are presented with two options - restore from backup or setup as a new phone - choose the new phone option.
One of the setup screens gives you a list of options regarding what content you want to sync to the "new" iPhone - sync you contacts, calendars and music (leave Applications out for now to eliminate possible issues caused by third party applications).
Once the sync is complete, test the iPhone with the stereo(s) and headphones.
If the issue persist, you will want to arrange for service either by calling tech support 1-800-my-iphone, or by making a reservation at your local Apple Retail Store via this link:

My Imac is showing gray screen with red line when booting and restarts again

My Imac is showing gray screen with red line when booting and restart again, I can load it in windows 7 safe mode with red lines across the display, pls help

The graphic card is damaged. You can't do anything more than taking your computer to an Apple Store or reseller and getting your graphic card replaced.
Sometimes, when the graphic card is damaged, operating systems can't start. That's caused because the drivers that make the graphic card work detect an error, telling the operating system that the graphic card is unusable, so the operating system can't start and it restarts. However, you can start in safe mode because operating systems use a basic driver in this startup mode

How to get slideshow to Pause and restart with auto play enabled? all slideshow do not restart!

How to get slideshow to Pause and restart with auto play enabled? Happening in all slideshow do not restart once one photo is selected

I agree cwclark, I was going to ask the exact same thing, and yes, the only way to 'restart' the auto play is to reload the page which is frustrating to say the least. Every other site I've seen with this kind of 'auto-play' slide show still auto-plays even after clicking the 'next' or 'previous' buttons. Adobe, you need to get a fix for this ASAP

The firefox theme(Lava V1-purple) I installed does not show permanently its background image because it quickly disappears when I click a new tab.. how can i fix this???

When i click a new tab button the background image appears but quickly disappears... I know that this shouldn't happen but it always happen no matter what i try... Can anyone help me??? Please??? I want my background, that is provided by the theme, to stay pemanently when i click the new tab button because the white background for a new tab is totally not my style..

If you go to [www.zigboom.com ZigBoom] there is a customization tab that will explain how to set your about:blank (New Tab) background image using the Firefox Add-On Stylish. Hope this helps.

Wrapper div background image won't appear in browser...

Hi All,
Here's a link to the test site:
http://www.davidcoshdesign.com/test/tee
If you go to 'About' – top right nav, there should be two vertical 'lines' running all the way down the page(s), either side of the main body copy.
All the pages are created from the same template.
It's a repeating background image in the #wrapper div. I can see it DW, but not in any browsers.
I guess it's not linking somehow... but can't figurte it out.
Also, the layouts on the 'Partners and 'Philosophy' pages 'jump' when you go to them. Again, I guess there's an error in the code somewhere...
Any help with these two things would be very much appreciated.
RP

Change this -
#wrapper {
    background-repeat: repeat;
    background-image: url(assets/images/columnedge.jpg);
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 14px;
    font-style: normal;
    line-height: 19px;
    font-weight: normal;
    color: #999;
    text-decoration: none;
    width: 980px;
    margin-top: 0px;
    margin-right: auto;
    margin-bottom: 0px;
    margin-left: auto;
    height: auto;
to this -
#wrapper {
    background-repeat: repeat;
    background-image: url(assets/images/columnedge.jpg);
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 14px;
    font-style: normal;
    line-height: 19px;
    font-weight: normal;
    color: #999;
    text-decoration: none;
    width: 980px;
    margin-top: 0px;
    margin-right: auto;
    margin-bottom: 0px;
    margin-left: auto;
    height: auto;
   overflow:hidden;
You need to clear the floats so that div#wrapper will contain the contents. To fix the jumping, add this to your CSS -
html { overflow-y:scroll; }

Since updated to CC 2014.1 - 6k Red .R3D files appear black when paused

I have a project that was started in the previous version of CC and now we've updated to CC 2014.1 (latest version). I noticed that since the update, when there is a Red .R3D file in the source monitor, it will go black after a few seconds (when the full resolution image would have appeared). I'm viewing the quality in 1/16th. When I scrub or play I can see the footage fine. It is only when I pause that the window soon turns black. If the playhead is over a red .r3d file in the sequence, the same thing will happen. Also, I can't play full resolution either - it will remain totally black.
When I turn off Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration and choose Software Only in the project settings, this problem goes away. However I don't prefer to work that way because other things seem significantly slower.
The video card in this machine is the ATI Radeon HD 5770 - EFI Driver Version: 01.00.436
Any ideas? This is on a Mac Pro (Mid 2010) with latest version of Mavericks.

"This kind of issue…" refers to what? File based camera formats like AVCHD, etc.? As Neil says, there are lots of things that can go wrong with these kinds of formats. Chief among them is not ingesting them correctly, via the Media Browser not File > Import.

Hello! i downloaded OS X Mavericks on my mac .since then my computer didn't restart properly.My desktop image doesn't appear after logging in and i'm unable to shut it down.

Hello! I downloaded OS X Mavericks on my Mac and my pc didn't restart properly.my desktop image doesn't appear and i can't shut down my pc. what can i do ?

These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
For this step, the title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
In the top right corner of the Console window, there's a search box labeled Filter. Initially the words "String Matching" are shown in that box. Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes.)
Each message in the log begins with the date and time when it was entered. Note the timestamps of the BOOT_TIME log messages, which refer to the times when the system was started. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged before the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
For example, if the system was unresponsive or was failing to shut down for three minutes before you forced a restart, post the messages timestamped within three minutes before the boot time, not after. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the end of the log extract—not at the beginning.
If there are long runs of repeated messages, please post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
☞ When posting a log extract, be selective. A few dozen lines are almost always more than enough.
☞ Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Please don't indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Please don't post screenshots of log messages—post the text.
Step 2
In the Console window, select
DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
(not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A crash report has a name that begins with the name of the crashed process and ends in ".crash". A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent of each. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.
☞ If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a crash or panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
☞ Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report—they're very long and rarely helpful.

Is there a way I can add be background image to my sharepoint site with look and feel?

Whenever i add any background image with "look and feel" it stretches the image. I've tried modifying the CSS file (in body and tried .ms-backgroundImage setting "background-size:inherit !important;") to fix it, but it doesn't seem to
have any effect. I there anyway i can add a background image to the master html or css code and get it to not stretch?
Thanks
James T.F

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you wanted to add background image to sharepoint site with look and feel.
We can define the Image Url in the Composed looks (Site Settings > Web Designer Galleries > Composed looks) to add background.
However, the image will be stretched to fill the viewport at 100%.
Though we can override the CSS attributes which would allow the image to repeat, but instead I recommend to go the no CSS route and switched the background to a much larger one that would fill the viewport nicely without looking pixelated.

New bookmarks added don't appear anymore when Firefox is restarted

Hello everybody,
I have a Mac OS X Lion server which runs an OpenDirectory as master.
About 50 clients connect to this server, also with Mac OS X Lion installed on each client.
Each User has his Homedir on the server, and Firefox is installed on each client.
The problem is : if a client adds a bookmark in Firefox, when Firefox is restarted, the new bookmark is not there anymore.
Firefox can retreive its bookmarks when the client logs in with a local user on the client.
So, I thought it was a problem with rights on Homedir, but they are the same on the local user as on the Opendirectory user.
So I looked farther in fireFox sqlite databases, and I saw this after installing Sqlite Manager Firefox extension :
I opened Firefox and Sqlite Manager and saw that :
when a bookmark is added, moz_bookmarks table from places.sqlite database receives a new record ; but when Firefox is stopped, either modification are not committed, or table reverts in its preceeding state, because, when Firefox is restarted, the new bookmark is not there.
So, I retried to add a new bookmark, and from Sqlite Manager, i forced changes committing through 'commit;' command ; and yet, when I stopped and restarted Firefox, The new bookmark was here !

Hi cor-el,
I already tried your two links from Mozilla support without success ;
I also to tried to delete places.sqlite and even entire profile : in these cases, curiously, it is possible to add a new bookmark, restart Firefox and retrieve the new bookmark, but only once !
If we try yet to add another bookmark, it is not here when Firefox is restarted.
Here is a copy of 'ls -l' in profile during the process of adding a new bookmark. (excuse me for editing format, but I guess you already know what file to look at)

Firefox not showing correct HP background image/video, but IE (all versions), Chrome and Safari are. How do I fix this ASAP?

Website www.bludot.com is not showing the proper BG image/video on all browsers (Safari, Chrome and all IE versions) but not on Firefox. The code is right, but FF is still pulling old images. The correct image/HTML5 video should be a cake, as displayed on all other browsers.

Firefox 9 is being withheld for Mac users due to unresolved crashing problems.
A test case would be nice and the URL for the website in question, so someone here can experience that problem first hand.
Or, try posting at the Web Development / Standards Evangelism forum at MozillaZine. The helpers over there are more knowledgeable about web page development issues with Firefox. <br />

Audiobooks skip backwards multiple chapters often when pausing and resuming

As the title states I am having an issue where if I pause and resume sometimes the book will skip back multiple hours.
This issue is very inconsistent sometimes it happens sometimes not. It is something I will experience on almost every book multiple times at some point.
I am having an issue that spans: OS 5-7 or more, iPhone 4, 4s, 5s, iPad 2 and other. I believe Ive had the issue show itself on iTunes but I rarely use iTunes but fairly certain it has happened.
I make most of my audiobooks from CDs that I purchase but I have had the problem on others as well. I also sometime download audiobooks that are in MP3 format and convert them.
I have used different programs with the same outcome but at the moment I am using chapter and verse to create my audiobooks. I usually break them into 2 or 3 files because of how horrible the reliability is to begin with.
The M4B format seems to be plagued with issues and I am hoping I can put my finger on this one because it is by far the most annoying.
If it matters I typically use voice setting, high efficiency setting, VBR setting, 64kbits if stereo setting but set it to mono so it is 32kbits, and I have the sample rate set to auto. It results in files around 160MB/10HRs and sound no worse than what audible publishes them as.
I doubt that matters though since I have experienced this issues with different settings.
I also am currently setting my chapters to every 10 minutes to make skipping easier because of how common this issue is. If they are longer finding my spot is very difficult using the slider on an iPhone. I might even go smaller on the next book and make smaller files as well.
Any insight would be great. I am most certainly NOT the only person with this issue since I have been able to recreate it hundreds of times with CD source, mp3 source, on my MacBook, on my PC, with several different programs, without using any special program at all (iTunes only)
Apple most def will not be resolving an issue that is several years old so I'd like to know how to format my books in a way to avoid this.

One thing you can look at is if in iTunes, you right click on the audiobook track, choose get info, and go to the options tab, remember playback position should be checked.

How to pause and restart a timed loop in Labview

I am trying to pause and then restart a timed process (series of stepd that happen at precise times), which is implemented using a timed loop.
I was wondering if anybody out there can give me a hint.
Thanks

Roxanne,
Well, it's not exactly a "pause", but here's a way to stop and re-start your Timed Loop.
See the attached example in LV2010.
A While Loop and a Queue are used to allow you to start and re-start the Timed Loop.
The "Stop Timed Structure" vi is used to stop the Timed Loop.
Releasing the Queue stops the While Loop when you end the program.
Note that the example is very similar to the NI template "Producer/Consumer Design Pattern (Events)". (File>>New)

Pause and restart while loop after defined time

Hello,
What I need is to find a way to run a while loop that is acquiring and analysing a movie, to pause this while loop for a time I specify, and re-run it after that time has passed.
I'm attaching a picture of the relevant parts of my VI. In the case structure of the "true" or "false", the program is checking, online, if the eye (my camera is focusing on the eye) is open above some threshold and for a certain duration of time. When "condition to start" is met, two things happen: one, the case structure changes to "false" and waits for some time; second, the loop of my state machine is triggered. Problem is, because I'm not really pausing my while loop (it's still running even when it's the "false" case), my state machine runs really slowly - for example, I have a part of video acquisition in my state machine, and saving the frames to avi takes forever.
Does anyone have any idea of how I could stop the while loop for x time?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I'm attaching (hopefully) better pics, if you still can't see let me know and I'll attach the code. About the frame saving and acquistion, I'm already doing that in a separate loop - you can't see my entire code in the pics, but what I have is a state machine that works as a producer loop and then a consumer loop, where video acquisition is happening. Now I'm working on a third loop (the one in the picture), that starts before the others and where I don't even want to save the movies - I just want it to check, online, if the condition is met (e g, the eye is open for a specified time) and if so, start the state machine and stop running, until the state machine has finished running. Then do the same, after waiting a specified time. I know that the problem is that the while loop keeps running after triggering the state machine, because if I remove that part and trigger it manually, the VI runs just fine and really fast. So how can I run, stop and restart the while loop?
