Cheese won't save images

Hi. I really don't understand what's happening. I was using openbox and recently switched to XFCE to try it out, but in either one of those environments, Cheese doesn't seem to save the photos when it snaps them (the same goes with videos also). This is the output from the command line.
** (cheese:4389): WARNING **: Throbber animation not found
** (cheese:4389): WARNING **: Throbber fallback animation not found either
** (cheese:4389): WARNING **: Couldn't load icon: Icon 'image-loading' not present in theme
The first two appear when cheese loads from the terminal, the third only after the picture is snapped.
I already tried loading all the gstreamer packages that I could, if anyone has any ideas or has seen this before, pleease post. I really want to be able to use my webcam.
Thanks in advance,
Chuck

I had the same problem. After installing this package now everything works. It is kind of stupid that it didn't work because of missing icons, isn't it?
So probably the cheese package should have gnome-icon-theme as dependency.

  • Firefox won't save images or web pages, even after upgrading, reinstalling and resetting... How do I fix this?

    A couple upgrades ago, I noticed that Firefox wouldn't boot properly. According to "Task Mgr.", it would load partially with a "*32" after it's name in the listing, but not enough to display a window on screen. After ending the process, and restarting the program again it would usually boot fully. (not always, but usually) The "*32" confuses me as I run a 64bit Windows 7 system and during installation I was sure that I saw mention of a 64bit program being installed. Apparently, after the last upgrade, that issue was resolved; but Task Mgr. still lists the program with a "*32" after it.
    The issue now at hand is that Firefox won't save images online or save web pages. I'll right-click and select "save image as" or "save page as" and... nothing. No box appears prompting me to name a file or designate a location to save that file to. Nor does anything happen when I use the "File" menu for the same function either. This is, to say the least, is very frustrating. There may be other things not functioning that I'm not currently aware of, but I haven't been able to or had time to do a complete check of the functionality of the program. I've never had issues of any significance with Firefox in the past. It's always been very reliable for me, so I'm hoping there's a relatively quick fix that I simply haven't been made aware of yet...
    Thank you for your suggestions and time looking into this matter...

    It probably will take a little time to work through this troubleshooting article, but hopefully you will get a complete solution: [[What to do if you can't download or save files]].
    Regarding the *32, I see the same thing on Win 7 Pro x64. No worries. Firefox for Windows is compiled only as a 32-bit application.

  • Safari 6.0.5 Mac won't "SAVE IMAGE AS" jpegs from web pages

    Hi. Trying to figure out what has changed here.
    In the past, when I've located a specific graphic on a web page — say, a .png or .jpg file through a Google image search in Safari — I could right click and choose "SAVE IMAGE AS" and download the image to my desktop.
    No more.
    Now Safari insists on appending ".webarchive" to the end of the file (for example, "image.jpg.webarchive" or "image.png.webarchive"), but won't let me download it. I tried to "SAVE IMAGE AS" a file called 27.png from a web page, for example, and got this error message:
    If I try to remove the ".webarchive" extension, I get this error message:
    I used to be able to simply right click an image, select "SAVE IMAGE AS" and save .jpg and .png files to my desktop. It still works that way in Firefox.
    I am not looking for workarounds or other ways to do this, as I have spent many years doing it this way and it has become habit; I am trying to find out how I can get the old Safari behavior back. Any ideas on why this behavior changed in Safari and how I can revert?

    @andyBall_uk
    Inexplicably, it is now working as it should. I don't get it, but I am not going to question it. I tried to figure it out for an hour, then read your reply, did the duck search you linked to and had no trouble "SAVING PICTURE AS" in .jpg form. It now works on the original images I was trying to download as well. I did not close or open Safari, nor did I restart my computer.
    I'm just going to go ahead and say that you fixed whatever was wrong. Nice work!

  • CS5 won't save images- help

    I just had photoshop cs5.1 installed, but when I tried to use it, I found that I can't save images using File>Save or Save As. I've tried using the short cut keys, and those don't work either. However, I can save images by closing an image and selecting 'yes' when the prompt for the image saving comes up. This is the only way I can save an image, but it is terribly inefficient. I can open images just fine, and everything else seems to work..
    I use photoshop on my acer aspireone netbook, which has windows 7 starter. The netbook itself is new as well. I don't know what might be causing this issue, but I really appreciate for some help!

    Other than [temporarily] using a higher resolution or using a larger virtual desktop or something that gives you more than 768 pixels, not that I know of. 
    It's possible you may be able to find a way to get your display driver to expose resolutions higher than 600 pixels vertically, though I can't guess how good or poor it will look on your display.
    It's always been a head shaker why Adobe's software fails in this way, rather than just putting the dialog on the screen and allowing you to use keystrokes to access buttons that may be off-screen.  For what it's worth, on my Windows 7 system, the smallest File - Save As dialog is 563 pixels width by 632 pixels height.
    Adobe really should put some effort into fixing this.

  • Scanner won't save images after Mac os 10.9 update OfficeJet J5780

    Have spent hours on this! Apple update and complete HP drivers offered through Apple do not fix the problem. CAn't find any fix on HP site, all lead back to apple, which appears to actually be the source of the problem. I can no longer save scanned images to my computer. This is crippling my ability to complete many important tasks. The Officejet has been flawless for years, don't want to buy a new one unless there is truly no fix. Thanks for any help offered.

    Hello ashley123,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
    When you try to scan with the Officejet J5780 on Mac 10.9 and try to save to image, what happens? If you have already installed the HP printer driver package from Apple, I have a very limited amount of suggestions.
    With the said, these are my suggestion;
    Reset the printing system, Mac OS X: How to reset the printing system.
    Repair disk permissions (ignore the mention of only working on 10.7)
    Add the print once again in the Printer and Scanners area from System Preferences.
    If this does not allow the scan to save, you would be best to speak with Apple regarding a possible TWAIN issue.
    Regards,
    JERENDS

  • I have used Image Capture to scan images/documents and then saved them as either PDFs or PNG files.  For some reason, just this past week Image Capture will no longer save the file.  It scans, and the Scan Results window pops up, but it won't save file.

    I have used Image Capture to scan images/documents and then saved them as either PDFs or PNG files.  For some reason, just this past week, Image Capture will no longer save the file.  It scans, and the Scan Results window pops up, but it won't save file.
    The file name has no special character in it, just letters and no spaces.
    I have done this in the past and it has worked, but now it will not.
    I have not upgraded any software, that I am aware of.
    After scanning, the Image Capture pops up the Scan Results with the file name in the window, but neither the Scan Results nor the Image Capture window responds to inputs.  The Image Capture window is frozen, with only the "Overview" and "Cancel" buttons active (but non-responsive).
    Is this a software issue or a scanner hardware issue?  I am using a HP Photosmart C6200 series printer/scanner on a network using a Time Capsule airport.
    Thanks.

    I had the same problem.
    Got a 90% fix.  Apparently the Mavericks preferences won't work with Yosemite, so I just deleted the Image Capture preferences.
    Unfortunately, the "Scan to" folder seems to be permanently set to the Pictures folder.
    1.  Quit Image Capture
    2.  Go to Finder > Go > Home, which opens up your home folder (named after your user name)
    3.  Open Library > Preferences > com.apple.ImageCapture.plist - Drag this file to the Trash
    4.  Start "Image Capture", click "Details" and change all your settings as you prefer
    5.  Quit and restart "Image Capture".   Notice it remembers all your settings except "Scan to" folder.  It insists on saving to "Pictures".
    That's as far as I was successful.  I tried changing the "Scan to" folder to "Desktop", but on launch, Image Capture always sets it back to "Pictures".
    This is what I tried:
    6.  Download and install "Pref Setter" from http://www.nightproductions.net/prefsetter.html
    7.  Quit "Image Capture".  Right-click on "com.apple.ImageCapture.plist" and open with Pref Setter.
    8.  Search for "Pictures", which finds "~/Pictures" (the tilde character at the start means your home directory).
    9.  Double-click on "~/Pictures" and change it to the folder you prefer.  I like "~/Desktop"
    10. Choose File > Save then Quit from Pref Setter.  Note that re-opening the plist file still shows "~/Desktop"
    11. Start up "Image Capture" -- on startup, "Image Capture" sets "Scan to" folder to "Pictures"
    I consider this a bug.

  • Image won't save in my e-mail signature

    Hoping someone can help me, I have tried adding an image to my e-mail signature by going into mail preferences and then dragging and dropping and image into an existing mail signature that I have created previously.
    The thing is, every time I close mail and open it back up again the image never is saved to my e-mail signature.
    The account I have set-up is link hosted by GoDaddy with my own domain name.
    I have 5 accounts set-up and each account has it's own assigned mail signature.
    I don't know why the image won't save in my e-mail signature????

    I am having this same issue.  I am not using a pic or html.  Its just Text.   This is on my .ME Email Account.

  • Boot Camp Assistant Can't Move Files? Image won't save ('resource busy')

    I've been trying to set up boot camp and every time I go to partition the drive I get this message:
    Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again.Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again.
    My drive is already set up as an OS Extended (Journaled) volume. I went to try to save a disk image and it won't save b/c it always says resource is busy. Well obviously I need to use the computer to back up it's own hard drive so of course it's busy.
    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Are you sure you had enough free space on the drive for the Windows partition you tried to create? Have you tried repairing the drive?
    Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

  • Save image as won't save anything anywhere

    when I try to use "save image as" with Google Images nothing saves where I tell it to.
    The Library comes up but when I click on an item in the list nothing opens, "open containing folder " doesn't open either. I f I download a program same thing happens.
    I have the latest version of Firefox 23.0 and am using xp professional. I have reset Firefox with no improvement and have changed download folder location, still nothing saves.
    I have none of these problems using Internet Explorer.

    It is possible that anti-virus software is corrupting downloaded files or is interfering otherwise.
    Try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.

  • Save Image in ACR 5.6 vs. Open/Save from Photoshop CS4

    Apologies in advance if this turns out to be cockpit error. Recently started shooting again, after a long hiatus, and boy there have been some changes over the past few years. I feel like Rip Van Winkle.
    Was used to early versions of ACR with CS2 and thought I was doing just fine finding my way around a new PC using ACR 5.6 RC with Photoshop CS4, when I processed my first shoot using the two. Followed my old/usual raw workflow with Photomechanic selects -> Bridge -> batch processing with Photoshop, when I noticed the JPEGs PS was saving from my PS Action didn't reflect adjustments I had set in ACR/Bridge.
    The Action was pretty simple, just did an open, a few simple adjustments, profile/mode conversion, and a save as JPEG. I tried running the Action two different ways, once from Bridge and once directly in PS, and got the same result.
    Scratching my head (this stuff used to work fine), I opened all the images into ACR from Bridge, clicked Select All, then clicked Save Images, and saved them as JPEGs into a folder. This worked, where each JPEG written reflected the crop, WB, exposure/brightness, contrast/black settings I had made through ACR/Bridge.
    Any idea what I've overlooked? I tried this using both 32-bit and 64-bit PS. The PC is running Win7 RTM x64. The camera body is a Canon 7D, which is why I installed ACR 5.6 RC. I'm otherwise really tickled with everything. Nice to see the progress made by everyone in the industry while I was away. Thanks in advance...

    If you are running an action during a Batch operation you need to be sure that either you DON'T record ad Open step and select Suppress File Open and Color Profile Warnings in which case the Camera Raw settings in play for a given image will be processed in or make sure you _DO_ record an open step making sure you select the correct workflow settings (color space, resolution, etc) but without making ANY adjustments while recording the open step and make sure you've selected the Override Action Open Command...
    It's confusing until you understand what it is your are or not recording...
    When you record a an open step while selecting the Workflow settings and NOT making any image adjustments all you are recording is the workflow settings. Then in Batch you tell the Batch to ignore the Open command and only use the Workflow settings...
    Otherwise you don't actually need to record an explicit open step...you won't have any absolute control over what Workflow setting are in play-but since the Workflow settings are sticky you can open an image to double check the settings and click Done and then you've set the Workflow settings manually (not in an action).
    The other oddity when recording an open action step in Photoshop is that the actual command to open must come from Photoshop...this may seem simple but it's not. I keep a spare raw file on the desktop so when recording an Open action I can start in Photoshop and turn on recording then drag & drop the raw file onto my Photoshop Icon to make sure Photoshop is opening the image then click to set the Workflow settings and specifically do NOT make any other image adjustment steps (they would also be recorded) and continue with the Open, then whatever other steps you need to add before recording the Save and Close steps (yeah, same tricky deal on the end with the Save As recorded and the Override Action Save As Commands...
    If all of the above makes your eye's glaze over (the best time to learn how to do this stuff is NOT when you are under the gun or a deadline) I suggest you try using Image Processor...easier to set up and learn, not nearly as powerful as a Batch Action though...

  • XY Graph Won't save to JPEG when Black and White...and run from TestStand.

    I am creating an XY graph and manipulating the colors of the plots, background, etc.  I am saving this graph to JPEG using the Write JPEG File vi and after it is saved I import it inot a test report.  This works fine in color, but when I create a B&W plot, it won't save to JPEG.  Let me clarify:  It won't save to JPEG when I run the VI from TestStand.  It does save to JPEG when I run the VI as a stand alone application in LabVIEW. 
    Problem:
    Run VI from LabVIEW ~ Saves the JPEG in both Color and B&W.
    Run VI from TestStand ~ Saves the JPEG in Color, but does not save the JPEG in B&W.    
    Here is how I am making all the plots and background B&W in my code:
    Change all Active Plots to Black using property node.
    Change all Active Cursors to Black using property node.
    Change the Plot BG colors (major/minor grids, etc) to lighter colors using property node. 
    Does anybody have any suggestions? 
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike

    A few questions: What version of LV are you using? How are you getting the control image that you are sending to the JPG? Third what exactly happens when you try to save the B/W image under TestStand? Error?

  • Watermark source file won't save in settings

    I have successfully created several watermark images that have source files (both in PDF format and JPG format). But there is one that I cannot get to save. I have tried the image in both JPG and PDF formats, but for whatever reason, when I try to save the settings, the source file is not saved and it just comes up as blank text when I select it for use. I have tried over and over again to save this watermark.
    As a result, whenever I want to apply this particular watermark, I have to go and browse for and find the file time and time again.
    ?? Any clue as to why this one won't save? Is there a maximum number of watermarks that can be saved?

    You can look at the place where the settings are saved.
    For Acrobat 8 and MS Vista the place is:
    X:\Users\{user}\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Acrobat\8.0\Preferences\Watermark

  • QT won't save movies, exported jpegs won't open.

    I am running the latest version of QT pro on my PC, windows XP. When editing a movie clip, I can edit to my heart's content, but when I go to save it, QT won't save it. It acts like it saves, but it doesn't.
    Also, when I export a movie to picture, the resulting image is useless. Photohop can't open it. Windows Picture and Fax Viewer can't open it...nothing works. In Windows Picure and Fax viewer (for the jpeg), I get the error message, "No review available." In photoshop (for the jpeg), the error message is: "Could not complete your request because an unknown or invalid jpeg marker is found." When I try to open the pct file in Photoshop, it says," Could not complete your request beause the PICT file is too complex to open on this computer. Photoahop Windows supports raster PICT files only." I have a GIG of ram and the PICT file is only 65 KB. I have tried using various joeg settings, exporting as a PNG file... nothing works. What's up?
    I bought Quicktime speciically for these two functions, and neither one of them works. I have Quicktime on a mac at home and it works fine.
    Any help would be hugely appreciated!
