Customize the browser login thumbnail image?

Is there a way to customize the thumbnail image on the initial login page that the browser shows before it launches iTunes software? It grabs the main Welcome page image for the icon right now but that does not make for a great icon, would like to be able to add another one. Is that even possible?

Two things:
The image you see isn't always your site's banner image. If you link directly to a track/group/division/section, you'll see the image that corresponds to the closest parent container that has an image.
For example, if you send someone an iTunes URL that links directly to a track, the image that's displayed is the image you provided for the course in which the track is contained (and not your site's banner image).
Second thing is this…most transfer CGI scripts simply retransmit the HTML Apple sends them in response to an end-user's iTunes U access request "as-is"…but, in principle, your transfer CGI could modify that HTML. There are no secrets contained within Apple's transfer HTML…it's just some JavaScript plus HTML (the JavaScript's main job is to check whether the end user has a browser capable of handling the embedded itmss: redirect). In fact, the very heart of Apple's HTML is the itmss: redirect. You could certainly modify that HTML at your discretion…so long as you pass along the itmss: redirect and its supporting code, the modified HTML would work. The link to the displayed image is contained within that HTML.
Two warnings though…if you modify Apple's HTML to point to a local image, you'll be making the transfer HTML dependent on a local resource. If you local resource (a HTML server) goes down, iTunes U would stop working even though there would be no issues on Apple's end. You would have to be mindful of that. Additionally, Apple could modify the transfer HTML it sends us. That might break any local modification code…you'd have to be mindful of that too. It is for these reasons that I wouldn't necessarily recommend making any changes to the HTML Apple sends (and Apple might even discourage me from suggesting it )…but you should know that (so long as you willing to make the necessary changes) it is, in principle, possible to do what you want to do.

  • Is there a way for java plug-in to get the browser login authentication

    I have an applet that is loaded from a password protected html page. I use java plug-in with the applet.
    When I try to read this page I get the browser window asking for password and username. So far so good.
    Then I log in successfully and starts using the applet.
    If the applet wants to access pages on the same PW protected area, I have to give the plug-in PW and UN.
    My question is then:
    Is there a way that java plug-in can get hold of the login information that the browser has obtained? (So that I wont have to give the same information twice)
    I thought the answer would be no, but then I started experimenting with https and found out that if I use the same scenario as above, except from that I give a certificate to the browser before the first login, then the plug-in will get certificate info from the browser, and it wont promt me for UN and PW either!
    When it is possible for the plug-in to obtain certificate info and login info from the browser then it should be possible just to get the login info with ordinarily http?

  • Can I customize the browser tab text - set to Project Title by default

    Hello there,
    I am using RH 7.03, generating WebHelp
    I am creating branded Help and would like to customize the name that displays on the browser tab. It is set via the Project Title property in Project Settings. Can this be changed dynamically via an ssl?
    Many thanks.
    Pat

    Hi Pat
    To expound on what Colum offered, that setting will only have any effect under one of a couple of conditions.
    You are working with Context Sensitive Help and are using Map IDs and the WebHelp API to establish the linking.
    You are working with WebHelp or FlashHelp Pro output.
    Aside from either of those conditions, the Window you were pointed to will be simply ignored.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Just 1 Background image to fill the browser & NOT tiled images

    After reading some of the suggestions given in this forum, I gather that I have to use CSS to get around this problem. What I did was:
    in a Notepad text editor, typed & saved as mystyle.css
    body
    background-image:url('gradient-3-max.jpg');
    background-repeat:no-repeat;
    (*note: fr the CSS tutorial > How to > external style sheet. I may not have understood it completely.
    Reads: ...... Each page must link to the style sheet using the <link> tag. The <link> tag goes inside the head section:)
    <head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystyle" />
    </head>
    I added this tag in my HTML document, however, the background is still tiled.
    Where did I go wrong? I am a newbie to flash, so kindly guide me thru each step
    Thank you!

    This works in modern CSS3 supporting browsers.  But not pre-IE9.

  • When I set the content settings to block images and try to navigate certain sites, the browser freezes.

    I can stop the browser from displaying images from websites by clicking on the Firefox icon, then clicking on Options from the drop-down menu, then clicking on options from the new drop-down menu, then clicking on the Content tab, and finally un-exing the box next to "Display images." Now the browser won't display images. But when I visit certain sites while in this mode, such as Yahoo! or Goodsearch, and try to navigate within these sites, I find that the browser has frozen up. There seems no way to unfreeze it except to press Ctrl+Alt+Delete, log off, log on again, and unblock images before proceeding further. How do I prevent this freezing problem?

    Disable Addons like Adblock plus.

  • Safari Top Sites thumbnail images not updating automatically?

    is it happening just with me, or the automatic update of the Top Sites thumbnail images is not working anymore?

    It is intentional. When on the Top Sites view, hit Command+R to refresh the images. Supposedly this was done because the previews don't do a good enough job of detecting weird login pages and wifi password pages.
    Personally, I'd like it to have an option to go back to updating the images on its own again.

  • Why are keywords not being shown in the Browser Grid View

    Hi,
    All the tutorials and manuals seem to have screenshots showing the browser grid view images with keywords at the bottom of the image. Now matter what i try i cannot get them to show up. Here are some of the things I've tried/observed.
    - in the split view and viewer views the keywords show up as expected
    - used the "browser metadata overlays" option (bottom right) to switch the browser between "show metadata" and "switch to basic view"
    - used the "browser metadata overlays" edit option to confirm that both basic and standard overlays/views are configured to show keywords (ie. keyword is in the list on the right)
    - i can see labels (red, green etc) in the browser grid view
    - quit, deleted all my library preferences, restarted aperture
    Are you seeing keywords in the browser view? Any ideas what i'm doing wrong?
    Also note I imported my library from iPhoto.
    Cheers
    Oliver

    Hi i dont have primary checked heres what ive done
    Hi thank youve tried editing all the basic and extended metadata options and so far i have managed to get the key words to show up on one photo at a time with a colour label.
    To do this i have to go to the metadata tab on the left add a custom field to the general tab called it keywords to keep things simple lol.
    This is the only way of getting my keyword to appear below the photo
    However when i try and tag all the photos in the project with the same keyword and label it only tags the last one in the project ive held down cmd /option /ctrl nothing / some of these just tag one random picture with the metadata
    i thank you guys in advance for your help

  • Whilst using FF20.0.1 and now with FF21 the new tab thumbnails fail to open for each new session. Why?

    For a long time my chosen websites appeared as thumbnail images on the new tab page when I began a new session, maybe since about FF15, I don't recall for sure. Recently, however, whilst using FF20.0.1 this behaviour stopped and none of the thumbnail images for my selected websites opened up, although the links to them remained and this behaviour has continued to FF21, which I have been using since yesterday (19th May). This is not a serious issue, but I do like things to work properly and to understand why they don't. I don't know why there should be a relationship between the two events, but the problem began after having opened the new tab page and before the images opened up I clicked on one of the links - where the thumbnail image would normally be - to go to the website; thereafter FF failed to retain a memory of the thumbnail images from one session to the next. By the way, I never empty my history cache only my main web cache that has previously had no effect on my new tab thumbnails, not since about FF15 or so anyway.

    Cor-el, hi.
    When I opened FF about ten minutes ago I noticed that the new tab thumbnail image I had brought up from my previous session had been remembered, so I opened some of the other websites listed to bring back their images too; I then shut FF down, re-opened it and the new tab page to find all the images had been recalled. Next, I shut down the computer to determine whether or not the images were getting lost that way; on rebooting the computer and launching FF I again found the images were still there. Now I closed the new tab and emptied the main cache (43 MB); on opening the new tab the images were still opening (you will recall that when the new tab thumbnails first came out they disappeared on emptying the main cache). Bearing all this in mind I have not yet tried your suggestion of temporarily disabling the add-ons in safe mode because if the thumbnail images came up that would not currently tell me anything. Also, the problem I described in my first post does not remotely coincide with the installation of any add-ons, which have not been recent. Given then that my thumbnails are appearing after the cache has been cleared where does FF get them from now? I still don't understand this recent behaviour and why for the moment the problem is not occurring. Thanks again.

  • IDVD won't create thumbnail images in slide shows

    In a slide show, the window that used to show the photos in a slide show no longer renders thumbnails in the list or grid views. The status at the top of the window just sits there and spins forever, with the text "Creating thumbnail images...." Anyone know of a workaround?

    Neither of these "fixes" has changed anything. I also cleared my cache, ran a diagnostic check, and a virus/trojan scan! Either way, firefox 4 is just not working up to my needs! Should, or can I go back to 3.6?

  • Need some help trying to generate thumbnail images from large Jpegs

    Hello,
    I have some ActionScript 3.0 code, created with Flex that
    will load a large JPEG image (say 3000x2000 pixels) that I'm trying
    to create a 100 pixel thumbnail. I have the code working where I
    generate the thumbnail, but it's not maintaining the aspect ratio
    of the original image. It's making it square, filling in white for
    the part that doesn't fit.
    I've tried just setting the height or width of the new
    image, but that doesnt render well, either.
    To see what I'm talking about, I made a screen shot, showing
    the before image, and the rendered as thumbnail image:
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/taude/533544558/.
    Now, there's a few things important to note. I'm saving the
    thumbnail off as a JPEG. As you can see in my sample application,
    the original renders fine with the proper aspect ratio, it's when
    I'm copying the bytes off the bitmapdata object, where I need to
    specify a width and height, that the trouble starts. I've also
    tried using .contentHeight and .contentWidth and some division to
    manually specify a new bitmapdatasize, but these values seem to
    always have NaN.
    private function makeThumbnail():void{
    // create a thumbnail of 100x100 pixels of a large file
    // What I want to create is a a thumbnail with the longest
    size of the aspect
    // ratio to be 100 pixels.
    var img:Image = new Image();
    //Add this event listener because we cant copy the
    BitmapData from an
    /// image until it is loaded.
    img.addEventListener(FlexEvent.UPDATE_COMPLETE,
    imageLoaded);
    img.width=100;
    img.height=100;
    img.scaleContent=true;
    img.visible = true;
    // This is the image we want to make a thumbnail of.
    img.load("file:///C:/T5.jpg");
    img.id = "testImage";
    this.addChildAt(img, 0);
    private function imageLoaded(event:Event):void
    // Grab the bitmap image from the Input Image and
    var bmd:BitmapData =
    getBitmapDataFromUIComponent(UIComponent(event.target));
    //Render the new thumbnail in the UI to see what it looks
    theImage.source = new Bitmap(bmd); //new Bitmap(bmd);
    public static function
    getBitmapDataFromUIComponent(component:UIComponent):BitmapData
    var bmd:BitmapData = new
    BitmapData(component.width,component.height );
    bmd.draw(component);
    return bmd;

    Dev is 10gR2 and Prod is earlier version of Oracle, 10gR1.
    The schema (or table(s)) export file created by Oracle Database Control in Oracle 10gR2 is not importable into 10gR1, by default.
    Workaround.
    Use the Schema (table(s) export wizard of in the Maintenance section
    of the Oracle Database Control in ver 10R2,
    but when you get to the end of the wizard (I recall Step 5),
    show the data pump export source PL/SQL code, cut and past to editor,
    and find the variable where you can set the Oracle database version
    to your prod database version,
    then run the script from the SQL Plus prompt in 10gR2 dev,
    and this creates an Oracle 10gR1 compatible data export file.
    Then go to Prod and run the schema (table(s)) import data wizard,
    and import the export file. You will have to option to move the data
    to another schema or tablespace if required.
    Just to not run into troubles, I use the same schema and tablespace name
    in both dev and prod.
    the variable you must modify in the 10gR2 datapump export script looks like
    h1 := dbms_datapump.open (operation => 'EXPORT', job_mode => 'SCHEMA', job_name => 'ExportTableToProdJob', version => 'COMPATIBLE');
    and you must change manually to
    h1 := dbms_datapump.open (operation => 'EXPORT', job_mode => 'SCHEMA', job_name => 'ExportTableToProdJob', version => '10.1.0.1');
    This creates a 10g1.0.1 or later compatible export data file.
    You must have read/write privileges to the folder were the export data file will be created, and imported from. (Oracle Directory Object)
