Document Images won't show up when opened by Windows Users

When using Pages or Microsoft Office 2004 for MAC to create documents that have .giff, .jpeg or.jpg images in them my Windows based recipients can not view the images.  This was also an issue with HTML pages I created in TextEdit.  The recipient can see everything in the document or page except the images which have a red "x" or a blank screen with a message that states "quicktime and a decompressor are needed to view this file".  It even happens when the recipient has the same update of quicktime that I do and when I use MAC's Grab utility....Please help, this issue is adversly affecting my grade in technology class and since the instructor is not a MAC user they have offered no help or sympathy. What's really frustrating was there was no issues viewing images in documents before the end of March.

All documents have a .doc extension and again I have to ask why one picture on the same document might show but not the other and why this only started at the end of March?  This was not an issue I had before then.  I could try saving as a PDF but the assignments must be turned in as a .doc or .rtf so a PDF format would not help me. I have the same issue whether I use .rtf or .doc.  I assume it is a Quicktime issue or a setting I have made or changed.  I read a few online forums where people had difficulting viewing images in PP or QT and they attributed it to a bug in the QT update that could onlybe fixed with a complete OS re-install and not reinstalling QT.  It makes sense in someways, given that this is a new issue, however why does it randomly select images?  I can't afford a complete OS install.  I guess I will have to take both my PC and MAC to the Apple store an hour from here and have someone look at what I'm experiencing.  Another hassel I was hoping to avoid, but I can't keep ignoring random loss of images for the rest of my life and I get the feeling this is an issue that doesn't have a forum answer.
Thanks for trying though....

    Do your images show, if you disable the option "Do not import duplicates"? If yes, then check, if the images have already been imported, eg. using Photo Stream, if you are using Aperture 3.3 or later.

  • Images won't show up when I try to upload online

    Hi
    I need help to figure out why my photos won't show up when I try to upload them online (e.g. Facebook, Pinterest, Google+). All of my photos are in iPhoto and it used to work fine until I updated to ver 9.3 a coupe of days ago. When I open iPhoto, it shows all the images but when I try to upload something, I couldn't find my photos so I end up copying them to my desktop first which is very inconvenient, especially if I am uploading severa photos. It works alright when I attach photos in Outlook though, so I'm not really sure what I'm doing wrong here. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks a lot!
    PS I did some screen shots if that would help explain things better. By the way, my OS version is 10.7.4, if that is relevant at all?
    This is my iPhoto right now.
    This is how it looks like when I open Photo Browser or attach an image to an email via Outlook.
    This is what it looks like when I try to upload images on to Facebook, Google+, Tumblr, etc.

    Where did you get the phone?
    If you see an ICCID unknown in Settings>General>About, that indicates a catastrophic failure. Very often this is caused by hacking or jailbreaking the phone. It can not be fixed. The phone will have to be replaced.

  • My new ipod device won't show up when opening itunes

    I just received a refurbished iPod due to a defective one under warranty, but the device will not appear when I go to iTunes. My Mac has only version 10.4.11, and does not offer any software updates. How can I get my previously purchased apps and music in itunes to download to my new device if my new device does not appear??

    - To sync with your computer you need to update the operating system on your computer to at least OSX 10.5.8. That is a paid update.
    - You can redownload you apps (and your music if you are in a country with iCloud) by the following directly on your iPod assuming that the iPod has iOS 4.3.3 or later.

    Nonsense, and very misleading advice.  I've updated iPhone 3G, 3Gs,and 4  through itunes many times, never had a problem once, not with one single update in nearly 5 years of iPhones.  Of course, I've never jailbroken my phones either.  Hack your phone and have update problems?  I've got news for you, the problems are not a result of iTunes or Apple's updates.

    Dude you have a jailbroken phone as stated in your first post, no need to do a second post.
    As per the forum term of service you can't get help here.  Use google.
    that's the downfall of jailbreaking your phone.

  • My phone number won't show up when I activate iMessage on my iPad 4.

    My phone number won't show up when I activate iMessage on my iPad 4. It works fine on my iphone 4s but when I active it only my emails show up and no phone number. I  tried turning iMessage on and off, rebooting, hard reboot, signing in and out of my Apple ID but nothing seems to work! Any suggestions?

    You are doing all of the right things. Just keep trying. I never owned an iPhone until last week, and I was having fits getting my phone number to appear in my settings. I signed out of Messages and FaceTime on my iPhone and my iPad and just kept trying the whole cycle over and over until it worked. It took about 4 or 5 tries before it finally worked.
    Sign out of both apps on the phone and the iPad, then start with the phone and sign in again on that device first, then try on the iPad again

  • Fading background when opening new window

    Fading background when opening new window. I would like to do a "lightbox" effect that on mouseclick opens a new window over the top of the other windows(s) that has a close button to take the user back to the previous page. I have viewed this in the past, but now cannot find examples. If you have URLS of examples, or better yet, code to make this happen, that would be helpful. Thoughts and opinions on why I shouldn't use this effect are also welcome!

    If you need a lightbox effect, use one the freely available "lightbox" or modal window scripts.
    Fancy Box is well documented and works with images, text, iframes, Google Maps, media, etc..

  • Recently when opening a window a spining multicolored pinwheel replaces the cursor. what's going on?

    Reccently when opening a window a spining multicolored pinwheel replaces the cursor. what is going on?

    I'm not an expert on this, but it could indicate different problems. I assume that the pinwheel goes away after a while. If not, then seems that the activity in the window is locked up.
    You might look at the memory usage on your computer. Open Activity Monitor in your Utilities folder and look at the memory usage on your computer. You may not have enough ram.
    If you hadn't shut down and restarted your computer lately, you may try doing that to see if it clears up temp files and free up some memory. If you don't have enough memory, try closing other applications to see if it helps any.
    You can also look at the CPU usage in Activity Monitor to see what's using up any high percentage of the CPU.

  • Images won't show up after export

    I have exported a document to .pdf, it will open on the computer that created it and the images are intact in preview. but once I open the .pdf on a PC (taking it to get printed) in acrobat the images are not showing up. The mask and text show up but he images will not. I placed the images using the media browser within Pages. Any idea why this wont work.

    I don't really know why Acrobat (is it 'Acrobat Reader'?)would fail to show images since Adobe is The Image House. I do know that when I put images into text boxes and export the document to PDF, it looks fine on my iBook but looks like trash in Windows Acrobat Reader. Everything seems to be disconnected and both images and text may move to new positions. In my limited experience I have found that Quark XPress exported by Adobe Distiller will give predictable results more often than anything else. With Pages and even sometimes with MS Word, the results are variable.
    You have several options for creating a PDF file from a Pages file. Export from Pages, choose "Save as PDF" or similar wording from the print dialog window, use a third party application such as Adobe Distiller or Jaws PDF Creator. The results will vary not only in positioning of the objects (images, text boxes) but also in the function of links.
    We might like to think PDF is like a picture but it is really more like a composit of text and object layers that can be printed with fairly predictable results. Depending on the document, the results are not always precisely what you want. If the various 'layers' appear out of position, you have to go back to the original and reposition them or change fonts and re-export the document.
    Are your images JPG? I have also found that most Windows applications have trouble with PNG images and may not see them at all. Try converting every image to JPG so Windows doesn't freak out. Also, be sure the Windows computer is using Adobe Reader 8.1.1 not only for best results but also because a security flaw was addressed by the update.

  • Document "tiles" into lower right corner when opened

    If this is a duplicate post, I apologize . . .I've not read all the posts in the forum, but I'm in a time crunch. 
    My document looks as though it will open normally, page comes up normally, and then it "tiles" down so that upper left corner of the page is in the lower right corner.  You can literally watch the page step down from a full page until only about a 1" x 2.5" section is visible.  It only prints that lower right corner, and that's all that is viewable.  Also, even though the document is multiple pages, it only shows what appears to be the last page, and says the document is "1 of 1 pages"  When it "tiles" down, it appears that there are multiple pages behind the page shown, but we cannot get to them.  I've tried opening it in Adobe 9.3 and Adobe 7.  I'm not a whiz at Adobe, but this is the first time I've seen this.  Any ideas??  Thanks in advance.

    I also noticed unified and unknown on the iPhone. How can I make these merge with the contact that is already there so there is only one entry?

    }i have no idea what exception means or how to fix it. the other graphics show on the screen without a problem. i also tried both jpg and png formats, none seem to work. did i get the image's destination wrong? the images showed up in the projects window so i assumed that i got it right. if not then which folder should i put the images in? or what am i doing wrong?

    line # 74 refers to the drawimage method, after editing the code drawimage is currently in line # 73
    ok i removed the constructor for the MIDlet class and moved everything to startApp()
    moved the image to the MIDlet class and initialized it in startApp() also
    the image did have transparent pictures so i changed it and put an image with no transparent or partially transparent pixels
    added repaint() method to the refresh command event cause i realized the first time paint is done the image isn't initialized yet so i get no errors sometimes and still don't see the image. (should i repaint in the MIDlet class instead?)
    created a res folder in the project's folder and added it to the resources in the project and copied the images folder from the src folder to there, so its in both folders
    commented the other draw functions as you suggested
    removed the anchor and put its integer value instead (Graphics.TOP = 16)
    here's what my code currently looks like:
    package hello;
    import javax.microedition.midlet.*;
    import javax.microedition.lcdui.*;

            filledRectangleExample.exitMIDlet();
        else if (command == refresh){
            repaint();
    }i debugged the program again, i put a break point at the draw image condition. the first time the paint function runs the image value is null so drawimage is never executed, when i press refresh and repaint is called, the image's value isn't null and drawimage is executed. at that point i get this exception :

    i've yet to try using a Form class and using image item, i'll let you know as soon as i do that. also i'm gonna try tinkering with the ready made example i have and see if i find out what i'm doing wrong.
    thanks i really appreciate your help

  • Images won't show up in edit mode

    Okay this one really has me baffled.
