'Broken' iMac new lift as picture frame?

My iMac G5 wont boot. I think something terminal might have happened to it inside.
Is there any way I could make it into a digital picture frame?
Andy

Sorry no, those units don't have any kind of video input, and even if they did, the system would need to be in some minimally functional state. Even then, you'd spend quite a bit more in electricity to run that thing as a digital picture frame than you would an actual digital picture frame, so you wouldn't be saving any money long term.
You could probably turn it into a non-digital picture frame though.

I have a new ipad mini purchased in Dec 2013. I can not Picture Frame app to display my photos when the ipad screen is locked. was this feature removed? if not, how do I turn it on?

I have a new ipad mini purhased in December 2013 for my father. I want play the streamed photos on the ipad when the screen is locked. Similar to what the ipad 2 using Picture Frame. Unfortunately I can not find the picture frame app on this ioad mini. Was this feature removed? If yes, are there alternative options?

I can't personally as I never really liked nor used the picture frame feature in iPad. Just search in the App Store and read customer reviews and you'll likely find something you'll like.

It's likely that your graphics card/GPU does not support the new feature. If you are using an older video card or an integrated graphics card that is not new like the Intel Iris or Iris pro than that is likely the reason.

Apple iOS designers did away with the Picture Frame slide show app and the lock screen icon that used to activate it.
If you are looking for a replacement, look in the iOS App Store app and search for Picmatic.
This is a pretty good replacement for that function.

Images with Picture Frame stroke not printing?

Does anyone have a known solution to an issue in which an image with a stroke of "Picture Frame" applied will not print?
More details...
- Created pages document (originally in '08 version of Pages, then upgraded to Pages '09 to see if that fixed it -- it did not)
- Printed document in both both Pages version. All assets within document printed correctly with exception of photos that have stroke of "Picture Frame" applied.
- Printed to PDF. Opened and printed from Preview. Again, all assets within document printed correctly with exception of photos with stroke of "Picture Frame."
- Tried modifying print settings to "fit in page" as well as color correction. Same symptoms applied.
- One solution (that's not the desired behavior but should be acknowledged) -- removing stroke allows images to print.
Other:
- Problem is reproducible across both versions of pages.
- Problem may be same as seen in other searches found here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3005994?start=0&tstart=0 & here: http://forums.cnet.com/7723-21571_102-378574/pages-09-printing-problem/ & here: http://www.mac-forums.com/forums/images-graphic-design-digital-photography/23980 6-framed-pictures-wont-print-iwork-pages.html
Set-up:
- iMac running 10.7.3
- Started with iWork '08, updated to Pages '09
- HP LaserJet CP1025nw
Any advice much appreciated!

Thanks for all your help, fruhulda.
Tried:
deleting plist
uninstalling Pages
trying a different account
updating firmware
trying a different printer
The only thing that works -- which also worked for you -- was something other than this printer. And even with a firmware update, it's not working.
I'd say this is an HP CP1025nw problem, which kind of hurts given it's a newer printer for us.
Suppose it's best to consider this closed and unsolved.

How to change "Object Causes Wrap" and a "Picture Frame" as a default properties when importing images in Autor

When I place images in iBook Author, they are automatically assigned these properties: "Object Causes Wrap" and a "Picture Frame" stroke.
I don't want that and couldn't find where can I change it in the Preferences. Anyone has an idea?

I've sent a feature request for a new version of Author:
When I place images in iBook Author, they are automatically assigned these properties: "Object Causes Wrap" and a "Picture Frame" stroke.
It would be great if I could be able to change it in the Preferences to "No wrap" and "No Frame" so I don't have to manually adjust every single image of my book - there are lots of them.
It would be really nice if Author implements "Layer's" concept like almost all graphic programs like Photoshop, Flash, Illustrator, etc.

Special characters & picture frames do not appear when site is loaded

When I publish my "new" site to a folder and open it everything looks fine; however, when I upload the site to my server, all special characters (bullets, apostrophes, quotes, tabs, etc. along with picture frames show up as ??? or squares. Checked in Foxfire and Safari; no difference between browsers. Note: used iWeb SEO.
Any ideas what's going wrong and how to fix it?

What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand? I've no experience with either of those apps. I use Web Site Maestro for optimizing and uploading my sites. It works very well.
Roddy, iWeb for Musicians, uses the sitemap automator. He has a page or two on tips at SEO.

Error in Preferences.app - picture frame

I got a strange problem in my iPad 3rd gen. Since a couple of days the preferences settings page for picture frame is totally empty. At the lockscreen the picture frame button is still there but without any function.
Any ideas?

Ummm,
The Preferences of iChat or Messages can start up the camera you have if the Preferences were left on the Video and Audio pane. It takes the title of the pane.
If the Preferences window shows the Video and Audio pane it has a Preview of what the camera sees.
Under this is a green response bar for the audio (your In Audio).
It has drop downs for the Mic selection, the camera if you have two cameras, a BlueTooth headset option and the Bandwidth Limit.

Centre aligning images within picture frame using XML file

Hi
I am using a flash file that uses an xml file to upload a
series of images one at a time into a picture holder.
There are two different widths of the images. The height is
always the same. Is it possible to set this up so every image that
the xml file calls is centre aligned within the picture frame.
At the moment when using the xml file to load the image it
always left aligns the image when it brings it into the picture
frame even if you change the alignment to centre align within in
the align panel.
Does anyone have a suggestion why this is happening or how to
fix it?
Thanks for the help

You're welcome. Pleased it worked.
All it does is use the MovieClipLoader class to load the
images into your holder_mc. Because loading takes time, and because
you can't check or adjust the size or position of images until they
have loaded, the MovieClipLoader class gives you a handy option to
run some code whenever its finished loading something you told it
to load.
That's what the addListener instruction does... it says
whenever myLoader has something new to tell me about the status of
the load requests I ask it to do... make it run some related code
in the listener object (which is called loadListener in this
code... it could equally be called something else). You 'listen'
for different events or updates of status. All I 'listened' for
here was the onLoadInit event.
The onLoadInit is the 'final' status update after loading. It
occurs when something has loaded and its properties are accessible
(_x, _width etc). The target_mc that is an argument for the
loadListener.onLoadInit is a reference to the clip that was loaded
into.
The best way to learn about this stuff is probably to read up
on MovieClipLoader in the livedocs and try google to see if there's
an online tutorial somewhere. Then give it a try yourself in
another new fla.

How do I Add a Picture Frame Around a Flash Video?

I tried searching for this but "frame" has too many meanings. I have flv videos inserted in several web pages, but they look dull without some sort of fancy border or frame around them. Maybe a picture frame. Maybe the image of a flat screen TV surrounding the image. But how do I add the image "behind" the video so that the video sits perfectly inside the image, regardless of the monitor viewing the image.

Do a google search for the IE PNG Fix javascript. Some work better than others. The one you had didn't work at all for PNG backgrounds in pre-IE7.
Copy and Paste the following document into a new blank page and see how it looks in all the major browsers. I changed your document type to XHTML transitional and replaced deprecated <div align> tags with inline CSS styles. I also ran your Flash code through http://validifyer.com to make it XHTML compliant.

I'm looking for a digital picture frame that is compatible with the iPhone 5 and 4S. I was looking at the Panasonic MW-20 but from what I can see I don't think it is. Any information would be great! Looking to buy a replacement frame for Christmas.

Hi - the new lightning connector on the iPhone 5 has an authentication chip so very few 3rd party manufacturers have come out with compatible devices - so I doubt that you will find a frame that works for both phones - however Apple has come out with 2 apapters - one is a cable and one is a direct 30 pin to lightning device - you would have to check out each frame to see if one of these might work - I looked at the Panasonic and it looks promising but I would check the return policy of anything that you buy in a case it doesn't work.

Question about image size, canvas size and Picture frame

Hi,
This has always been a little confusing so let me describe what my question is:
Assume I have a created a new PSD that is 8 1/2 x 11.
The canvas size is the same 8 1/2 x 11.
I want to put a border around the picture (say 1/2 of an inch all around), and put the finished picture in a Picture frame. After it is in the frame, you would be able to see the entire picture plus the border.
Q. Should I change (reduce image size) of the PSD to (for this example), 8 x 10 1/2. Then increase the canvas size to 8 1/2 x 11. After I increased the canvas size, do a Paint Bucket fill with white (to create the White border)? then print the changed size PSD on 8 1/2 x 11 paper so that it will fit into a 8 1/2 x 11 picture frame
I realize I could have just created the new PSD to be 8 x 10 1/2 in the first place.
Hope I made this somewhat clear.
Bob

1: Decrease the size as you describe.
2. Go to File>New or Ctrl N
3. Make the box 8.5x11. Make sure the other data conforms to your image.
4. Now,holding down Ctrl-Shift, Drag the image to the new box and release the mouse. Your image will be centered in the box.
Note: there may be a method to do this including any adjustment layers, but I usually only do this as a last step, flattening a copy of the working file.

Picture Frame Function in Fireworks 8

I recently upgraded to Fireworks 8 from version 4. I was
saddened to see that they had taken a user-friendly method of
creating a picture frame and turning it into a nightmare. Why?! I
can't get the picture frame to fill with anything but the limited
number of choices they now give AND there is no preview of the
fills.
I hate when they take a good thing and in an attempt to make
it better, they muck it up. Any advice?
Kath

Hi, I can't remember how the picture frame command worked in
FWs 4 so
I cannot compare the two.
However, from the Window drop down menu you should find an
item
Patterns and Textures which will open a panel displaying all
the
Patterns or Textures. You can also add your own Patterns fro
the
Property Inspector, but you need to unlock the Layer by
clicking the
tiny Padlock in the Layers panel.
There is a quick tutorial over at CMX that may help you as
well...

Adding color to a picture frame

I am brand new to Macs, and I have been checking out iworks. I am working on a blank page layout. I have added text boxes, and a photo from my gallery. I want to frame the photo, and have figured out how, using the inspector. What I can't figure out how to do is how to add color to the frame. Can anyone help me out?

Hi Farmer Matt
Welcome to the forum.
fruhulda has shown how to change the color of simple strokes, however there are some frames you can not color change. Only "line" strokes can be changed, pdf files, jpegs, Photoshop and Pages' Picture Frames can not be changed.
Check whether the frame/stroke you have in your file is a graphic or not by selecting it:
+Inspector > Metrics > File Info+

Help Making Text Picture Frames

I came across this neat design feature, and I am not too sure how to go about creating this element because I am new to Illustrator. Still, I figure this is either a PS or an Illustrator feature. Whatever the case, how can I go about making text that incorporates picture frames as seen in the words "Road Trip" (and if there are any videos out there that would be great).

I think what you are asking is how to make images appear through type.
If you want to make a single image appear through a word, all you need to do is to position the (live) type on top of the image, select type and image and hit Cmd/Ctrl+7. This makes the type into a clipping mask.
Alternatively, if you want each letter to contain a separate image, outline the type, ungroup (preferably) and make each letter into a clipping mask over its own image.
There are other ways but this is the easiest.
Here are two examples:
The top one is live type masking a single image.
The bottom one is outlined type masking two images. In this case you will need to make compound paths, one for each set of letters, WES and TMAN ISLANDS. Each compound path masks its own image.
