Background TimeMachine Image Disappeared !!!

Hi there guys.
I recently upgraded to SL over the weekend... but I only came across this issue today when I went to restore an Adobe Acrobat 9.ppd file which seemed to have just disappeared after the upgrade also... I entered 'Timemachine' and was confronted by a blank white screen with what I could barley make out as a time line on the right hand side.... the functionality was sticky... but worked.... but without the background image of 'TimeMachine' it was very hard to go back in time and locate the necessary date I required.
Has anyone else had this problem...?? Is this something Apple Tech Desk could help me with.... as I don't want to waste time going back to Leopard.
Any thoughts or comments most welcome.
Yours sincerely,

Cheers for the reply Jeffrey...
I got in contact with the AppleCare support desk and a great techy named Mirak sorted my problem out.... looks like it was a corrupted com.apple.finder.plist file and now all is working as it should.... YIPPEEEE problem sorted..... with no need for a clean install... aahhh.... TODAY WAS A GOOD DAY!!
Thanks for your concern Jeffrey....
Yours sincerely,

  • Images disappearing in photoshop cs2...

    Hello Folks,
    I seem to have a problem brewing in Photoshop...Lately when I am working in Photoshop, if I have more than one image open at a time and I go to close one of them they all disappear from the screen but they are still open.  I have to go to Close All and start over.  Also, if I am using the polygon lasso tool, I will be carefully tracing a part of an image and suddenly the image disappears, while the window is still there, it turns grey and all I can see is the lasso tool traces I have made but I then have to start all over because I have to get the image back and the only way to do this is to end the lasso session and start over...The image will come back at some point after I reset the tool but I have to start all over again...I have updated everything, tried to optimize Photoshop performance but nothing seems to work...I am using windows media center edition sp 3 and have 1.87 gb of RAM.  I can't think of anything that corresponds to when this started happening, I didn't change much except I do always do windows updates but I choose which ones I want to install and what is junk...Unfortunately the scratch disk is the same drive as the program is on but at the moment I don't have an alternative, could this cause this situation?  Should I invest in a drive just for the scratch disk?  Or, if anyone has any other suggestions I am willing to try anything...This program is important to my work and I use it a lot...
    Thank you,
    Jennifer

    Off hand it sounds like video driver or low ram issue. Examples:Windows did an update that included a faulty video driver (which isn't very likely) or you install another program that wants to run in the background. The former usually require you to enable the download of hardware drivers for the update, the latter well even a virus could do that.
    Goto your video card makers website and get the latest driver that they recommend and then run msconfig (Start>run>msconfig) disable all the startup programs and see if that helps, when you are done, make sure you reenable the programs. Each time you use msconfig it will require a restart.
    If that don't help, next is check the hard drive making sure you have enough room, defraged and no errors.
    Next is to run a test on the ram. You should find one at downloads.com or take it to who ever services your system and let them do it. Mind you they will charge for time checking and cost of replacing the ram or HD is needed. This is definately a last step effort. Try to do as much as you can first to save some money, if if you are unconfortable doing this then the money is well spent.

  • Missing background icon image on wrapping text in IE

    I'm using css to add a background image to links in a
    paragraph (adding a pdf icon for a link that points to a pdf, an
    arrow to a link to an external site...etc). Using "background:
    url(/images/shared/icons/pdf-document.gif) no-repeat left 0.2em;
    padding-left: 18px;" works as long as the text in the link doesn't
    wrap. In IE, if the text wraps the background image disappears, but
    the space for it (because of the padding) is still there. If I
    resize the browser so the text does not wrap the image suddenly
    appears. Any other browser the image is there. The doctype is xhtml
    1.0 strict.
    Does anybody have any suggestions on how to handle
    this?

    The code i pasted is just from a sample page. My actual website has lot more stuff in it and still does
    not show up.
    Best if you upload your page to the web and provide a link so we can see it.
    Pardon my ignorance but how do I save the image as RGB
    What software do you use to create/edit your images?
    In Photoshop, it's Image > Mode > RGB then Save for Web
    Most browsers can handle RGB (web) or CMYK (print) images.
    However IE cannot read CMYK images. Thus it's best to ensure all images are RGB.

    Hi I have been having a problem with Bridge in CS4 recently. So uninstalled CS4 and Lightroom 4.4 and reinstalled them on my Desktop PC. When I turned on Bridge through CS4, My thumb nail images disappeared and a thumb nail icon with CR2 appeared. Now some of my images have disappeared from Light room 4.4, but I can find them in CS4 and Bridge now shows some thumb nails as images and some as an icon with CR2. I have spent two weeks going through preferences etc. to find how to resolve my problem. Please can you Help? Meany thanks in advance
      Derek Randall

    I don't use LR and rarely use the bridge so I can not answers about thumbnails in them,  However thumbnails in windows file explorer and windows dialog for CS2 files will only show if you have installed codec into windows that will produce them. Windows does not do CR2 thumbnails on its own. I use FastPictureViewer Codec package for RAW File and PSD files thunbmail support.

  • Keynote 6.0 Images Disappearing

    We do a lot of work within Keynote 6.0 and every time we add a new images to the presentation all other images disappear and we are left with a grey box with a cross and a question mark. It doesn't do this to all presentations but quite a lot, and also it seems to be when we add an image to an old presentation that already contains images. The new image we add appears ok, but any images that were previously in the presentation disappear.
    We have been having this issue for a few months but have never been able to find an answer.

    Opening Keynote version 5 files in version 6 will cause these problems, if thats what your doing, only open keynote 5 lies with Keynote version 5.

  • When exporting my Indesign Layout with Images, the images disappear ?

    When exporting my indesign layout the images disappear once exporting as a PDF print.
    I have had several information bubbles appear claiming I need to alter my blend space due or colour settings ?
    I have altered the blend space to rgb and still it does not work.
    I have also unlocked all the layers in attempt for this to work.
    My assignment is due in tomorrow and still I cannot get this feature to work
    any help would be great !

    When in preview mode they do not appear either.
    If you understood my question and the images also disappear in InDesign when switching the screen to Preview mode, or Overprint Preview, that means they are set to non-printing in some way. Either they are on a layer set to non-printing, or they're set to non-printing on an individual basis in the Attributes panel.
    >I am using the latest OS,
    Not really helpful. OS X? Windows? Probably not relevant, as it turns out, for this problem, but you should be specific.
    >The pdf appears in preview
    Does that mean you are trying to use Mac Preview to view the PDF? If so, it may give you bad results. Mac Preview is not a godd general-purpose PDF viewer and is incapable of rendering complex PDF.
    The first error dialog you show is what you would get when opening a file in ID that has different document color spaces than the default settings in your color settings file. That's not a problem, and to preserve the color appearances you would leave things as they are.
    The second warning dialog indicates you are making an interactive PDF, which is RGB. If you are using CMYK images I don't think you'll avoid color shifts no matter what you do if you have transparency, but I don't do interactive PDF, so I can't give good advice here. If you are using RGB images, by all means your transparency blend space should be set to RGB.
    Can you post a screen shot of the export dialog?

  • When I export to PDF, images disappear

    When I export my form to PDF, the images disappear.  I have tried inserting them in various formats, including .jpg and .gif with the same result.
    This is a scree grab, showing the form in FormsCentral and the exported .pdf.
    Please let me know what I need to do to remedy this issue.

  • Images "Disappear" When Moving a Project But Really They'r e Just Invisible

    Last night I imported 442 images into a new project. I rated them, and edited about 40-50. This morning I moved the project within the same library. When I did so, all the images disappeared, sort of. The project appeared empty. I let it sit a couple of minutes, and undid the move to no effect.
    I checked to see if a filter was blocking the images but it was not the problem. I checked the Project properties and it showed the images were all there (plus, I use referenced files and I hadn't deleted the CF card so worst case scenario I had all my originals). Also, when I displayed all the projects in a browser view window, the project showed up and I could sweep through all the thumbnails in the project browser. But again, if I selected the project and tried to see the images in either the browser, viewer, or split view, nothing showed up. No thumbnails, no file names, no empty thumbnails, nothing. The photos were sort of invisible.
    I "solved" the issue by moving an image - any image - from another project into the problem project. Suddenly that photo and all the other images, were visible. Removing the random image did not recreate the problem.
    Since I no longer have the problem I'm posting for 2 reasons: (1) to publish the problem and my fix in case anybody gets the same problem, and (2) to see if anybody knows what caused this and if there is a more direct fix than my weird indirect fix. Thanks.

    I have had the same thing happen consistently. I import images into a default project. Then when I move the project into an organizational folder... all the images disappear. After a couple of panics, I have now realized that if I stay calm, close Aperture, then open it again, the pictures are all present. Quite a pain in the butt, but at least there is a work around. Albeit a bit scary .
    Best,

  • Cd image disappear again!!

    Hi folks,
    Earlier, cd images disappeared when it tried mounting in finder/itunes, but it got solved when osx 10.6 updated to 10.6.3 or 2, cant remember. But anyway, after itunes came with the new update, Ive got the same problem. Anyone experiencing the same? Im ripping in my own cds to itunes, and I did 5 cds and the last disappeared. So if I restart my mac, it will show up and after 4/5 new cds, it disappears again. Same old stuff.
    By the way, I experience so much troubles with itunes 10.. If I scan artwork for the cds, it wont import using the cmd+i. Only one jpg will stay imported. And I cant go back to itunes 9, cause then it mess up my iphone sync. Apple please fix this issues with disappearing cd images and artwork bugs

    Apple has a tech note about using hubs for itune sync.
    I'll post a link when I find it.
    If having a problem don't use it or try another hub.
    A powered hub should have an external power dongle- check it is working and plugged in. The hub can still work even if the dongle is not there but the USB cables will have less DC power.
    Remember the USB cables have power AND data lines and the problems is the DATA lines.
    Using longer cables or EXTENDER cables and a hub or even the supplied APPLE dock will cause data corruptions. EVERY connection in a USB line will cause a reduction of quality in high speed USB cable. A hub can add a lot of electrical noise.
    example : A 6 foot USB extender cable -- the Apple Ipad cable -- the Apple Ipad DOCK --- The Ipad = NO sync
    NOW remove the extended cable or the DOCK from this line and sync will work
    The Ipad might be a bit sensitive to USB noise or the supplied Apple cable could use some more shielding ( it does look thin ).

  • Embedded images disappear on column sorts when viewing SSRS via url in an iframe

    RE:   SQL Server - 2008 R2  Reporting Services
    We deliver an ASP.Net MVC (5) application and some of the views show/display SSRS report via url in an iframe (so the report is displayed vi the web viewer).   There are images in the header of some of these reports which display correctly on the initial
    view, but "disappear" when the user uses a report column sort and/or changes the report zoom (via the SSRS web viewer toolbar). There are other quirky behaviors as well (depending on the browser), but we are dealing with IE versions 8 thru 11.  I've
    already set the ReportViewer.aspx to use <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7">, and our application pages/views use <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">.
    Does anyone have a "fix" for this? I know it's related to the ReportViewer.aspx and displaying the report(s) in an iframe, but I can't seem to find any information on how to fix the issue.

    Hi,
    According to your description, when you preview report through url in an iframe, the embed images can be displayed, images can’t be displayed after users used sort and changed report zoom.
    To troubleshoot the problem, please refer to the following steps:
    Run the report in Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS) to make sure that the images can be displayed correctly.
    The issue may be relevant to compatibility of browser, please use different browser to check whether the issue persists.
    If you are using embedded image of jpg type, please change the extension of the image to png.
    Set the ReportViewer.aspx to use <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=8">.

  • Indesign to swf. Images disappear

    I created an interactive InDesign file. When I exported it to a swf file, several of my images disappeared. The images had been embedded in the InDesign file, but went away when I exported the file. There is a hyperlink, and that still works, but the image is gone. Does anyone know why this happened and/or how to fix it?

    I have tried that too and it didn´t work out. Attribute that controls where you open your hyperlink is called Target. And InDesign doesn´t let you define it. Let´s hope some improvement with this in future...

  • Backgrounds from images in database

    I've been working with images lately, and I'm trying to do the following:
    Users can upload images that adhere to my restrictions (ie, size, filetype, etc). What I would then like to do with those images is set the users profile background to be the image itself. I need this to be dynamic, ie, no hard coding of image ids or anything like that. Is it possible to dynamically determine the page background using images in the database? My theory is I may need to create a custom template for the profile page to do this but I'm not sure. Does anyone have experience with this?

    Welcome to the forum: please read the FAQ and forum sticky threads (if you haven't done so already), and update your profile with a real handle instead of "user12612539".
    When you have a problem you'll get a faster, more effective response by including as much relevant information as possible upfront. This should include:
    <li>Full APEX version
    <li>Full DB/version/edition/host OS
    <li>Web server architecture (EPG, OHS or APEX listener/host OS)
    <li>Browser(s) and version(s) used
    <li>Theme
    <li>Template(s)
    <li>Region/item type(s) (making particular distinction as to whether a "report" is a standard report, an interactive report, or in fact an "updateable report" (i.e. a tabular form)
    With APEX we're also fortunate to have a great resource in apex.oracle.com where we can reproduce and share problems. Reproducing things there is the best way to troubleshoot most issues, especially those relating to layout and visual formatting. If you expect a detailed answer then it's appropriate for you to take on a significant part of the effort by getting as far as possible with an example of the problem on apex.oracle.com before asking for assistance with specific issues, which we can then see at first hand.Thank you for the response, but you are right, I did leave some info out. Take two:
    I'm using the online Apex workspace, so the version is 4.2 Currently, I'm using the new theme throughout my application, Theme 26 (Which is actually really nice). The images are going to be displayed on the users profile page, which is composed of the following:

They will have no other use other than being used as backgrounds. Users can only have one image uploaded at a time. They are uploaded via the built in APEX item "File Browser".

    My theory is I may need to create a custom template for the profile page to do this but I'm not sure.That's possible, but probably more work than is necessary. Customized styling of individual pages can be applied using Page Attributes&mdash;precisely how is dependent on the APEX version used, hence the requirement for you to provide this information.Hopefully the above information clarifies my problem a little. In the meantime, I will look at the link you posted about page attributes. Thank you.
