DOTTED LINE in QT Player playbar... WHAT IS IT?

What does the fine dotted pattern in the QuickTime Player playbar indicate? Some movies display this, but some don't.

I'm running QT-7.1.3
PowerMac G5, dual 2ghz Mac OS X (10.4)

Actually your reply has helped!
The cause of my confusion is as follows:
On one of my G5's I had long ago selected the QT preference: HIDE SELECTION INDICATORS FOR EMPTY SELECTION. And, for some reason, this also eliminates the dotted line in the playbar even when the indicators are visible or there is a selected section of the movie. But on my other G5 I had not selected this preference... so that QT-7 was displaying the playbar differently. D'OH!
It had always bugged me that I couldn't see the location of the selection indicators unless the cursor was located over the playbar area... so I had unchecked this preference and this caused the dotted line to vanish.
Thanks for helping.

Over the years I have backed up my ifoto albums on discs. Now with the new ifoto in 10.7.5 I can't see the fotos from five year old discs--only a dotted line outline of the fotos, all black and white; no images. What gives? and how can I view them?

Over the years I have backed up my ifoto albums on discs. Now with the new ifoto I cannot see any fotos when I insert the 'old' discs, just dotted lines around where the foto should be. How can I view the fotos? They were backed up for security, but now they are so secure I can't view them! Help!

If you're running iPhoto 9.5 you'll need to follow these directions in order to view disk created by previous versions of iPhoto:
1 - Copy the library from the disk to the Desktop.
2 - Double click on the iPhoto Library Upgrader tool to launch it and select the library on the desktop to convert.
3 - Once that is done you can open it with iPhoto 9.5.

When browsing a new library that I created, the browser shows dotted lines around grey rectangles, no images. When I double click on a rectangle the image appears. How do I get images to appear in the browser rectangles?

When browsing a new library that I created and exported onto an external hard drive, the browser shows dotted lines around grey rectangles, no images. When I double click on a rectangle, the image appears, but all the other rectangles remain empty - no image. How do I get images to appear in the browser rectangles? I am viewing this on a second computer (an older intel duo iMac), not the one I created the library on (a MacBook Pro). Both computers have Aperture 3.2.4 installed. When I return the external to the MacBook, all images appear in browser rectangles. What's happening on the iMac?

You may have a problem with the permissions on your external volume. Probably you are not the owner of your library on the second mac.
If you have not already done so, set the "Ignore Ownership on this Volume" flag on your external volume. To do this, select the volume in the Finder and use the Finder command "File > Get Info" (or ⌘I).
In the "Get Info" panel disclose the "Sharing & Permissions" brick, open the padlock, and enable the "Ignore Ownership on this Volume" flag. You will have to authentificate as administrator to do this.
Then run the "Aperture Library First Aid Tools" on this library and repair the permissions. To launch the "First Aid Tools" hold down the ⌥⌘-key combination while you double click your Aperture Library. Select "Repair Permissions" and run the repair; then repeat with "Repair Database". Do this on the omputer where you created the library and where you can see the thumbnails.
Then check, if you now are able to read the library properly on your iMac.

How do I get rid of the dotted line on right side of bounding box

Ever since I upgraded to CS5, I seem to have a broken dotted line along the right side of the bounding box of the png logo that was created for my company. It wasn't there before. I've gone back to my original back up of the logo and this broken line is in all the versions now.
Whenever I use the artwork a single dash/dotted line is left on the far right, where the right vertical line of the bounding box would have been. You can see it in the image below on the right. Its a faint white line but when printed on a banner its stark white. The line falls just above the last "A" in Alberta.
I can use Illustrator and Photoshop basics and but have trouble when I get into problems like this.
Can anyone help me figure out why its there and how to get rid of it?
I would appreciate any help!
Thanks.

Wade and Monica,
Thanks for your help.
Wade, it hit me when you asked "why is it a png" file and I realized that I was using the wrong file. Sometimes its hard to see the forest for the trees! Problem for banner artwork fixed and I have now used the correct logo file so no more dotted line.
The dotted line only appears on the the png version of the logo. There's no coloured background on the logo file. She gave me the file as both an eps and a png file. I'm pretty sure she created the logo in Illustrator. I've been using the png file for the website, which is what I thought it worked well for. And the eps one for my print materials.
I have no clue why I grabbed the png instead of the eps logo file I usually use, but thanks for pointing out the obvious since I wasted time trying to fix it and was getting very frustrated at what had suddenly gone "wrong".
I still have that dotted line on the png file of the logo but I'll have to figure that out another day.
Thanks again!

Line style of Word tables is ignored. Broken lines or dotted lines appear as uninterrupted lines

Bug in Adobe XI:
The line style of Word tables is ignored. Broken lines or dotted lines in Word tables are shown as normal uninterrupted lines in PDF file.
For example, in my Word document I choose the following line styles in tables: dotted line (.........................) or broken line ( - - - - - - - - - - - - ).
In the PDF file, all lines are shown as normal uninterrupted lines (__________________), even if I zoom in 800% or more.
Is there a solution for this problem? (In FreePDF, it works well, but FreePDF has other disadvantages and therfore is no solution for me.)

Ok 1st one. The warning restriction message relates to this line in main.cf:
smtpd_helo_restrictions = permit_sasl_authenticated permit_mynetworks check_helo_access hash:/etc/postfix/helo_access reject_non_fqdn_hostname reject_invalid_hostname permit reject_invalid_helo_hostname
The last reject occurs after the single word "permit" and is ignored.
However, that's not the problem.
I'm not exactly sure what's happening, but this might be a clue.
It would appear that either postfix is not being able to create the socket for private/policy or it's somehow created with the wrong permissions. You might need to ramp up the debug level to get a better idea.
You could check if it's being created by "netstat -a | grep private/policy" in terminal.
My guess is that it's not being created because there is no setup statement in your master.cf file, but I don't understand why postfix would be looking for it if it isn't set up. Private/policy I think relates to grey listing. Maybe gives you a hint.

Dotted lines in Indesign turn into thick bulky lines in PDF (Adobe Reader)

Hi there
Got a situation that is really confusing me, i have dotted lines in indesign that look perfect thin and in a light grey, however when i export this and view it in adobe reader/acrobat or when i upload my pdf online, the lines turn into thick black bulky lines? I have ensured that 'compression for line art and text' is unticked, can anyone help me understand this?
As my pdf is for viewing online I would really want the lines to not ruin the whole page
Many thanks
what line is supposed to look like and and what it looks like in adobe reader/ acrobat

I've been having the same problem.
After seeing Larry's comment it occurred to me that my Mac automatically opens all files that I export to pdf in 'Preview', and this is what I have been using to view the pdfs each time. I deliberately opened the same files using Adobe Reader, and the dots are fine.
So perhaps it's just a problem with 'Preview'? Unfortunately I think my printer is using Preview too, as 2 recent jobs have been printed with those awful clumsy dots

Horizontal black/dotted lines on Apple Studio Display

As of about six hours ago, my screen is suddenly showing several horizontal 1px thick lines at the top of the screen; they are usually black but sometimes change to alternating black and white dotted line when a window is moved around in the area they're covering. They were not there this morning when I used the computer, they just showed up without warning. I've restarted the system to no avail; any suggestions on next steps or ideas of what might be going on here?

Hi bogisan
To clarify, I mentioned in my original post that I'd tested with DV and got the same problem...
dewshi wrote:
Actually, it shows the same issue displaying DV-PAL!
Although I'm working with ProRes, I have already experimented with playing out DV on a DV timeline, which should be less demanding than ProRes, as you're suggesting.
It doesn't look to me like the familiar cheese-grater artefact associated with interlacing issue as there's only one break in the image, rather than mismatching alternative lines when there is horizontal motion. I've tried different sequence settings for the field order, with no difference.
I'm wondering if the display is out of sync? It literally looks like the screen has been sliced by a razor 1/3 of the way down, and the bottom part is a different frame to the top. It happens when I scrub through the timeline too, but stabilises once parked on single frame.
By the way, I've also checked that the MBP has switched to the NVIDIA card rather than the slower, less energy consuming Intel video card.
Will check out the MBP forum too...
Thanks

Create Dotted line reporting and direct reporting btwn org unit to org unit

Dotted Line Relationships

Hello HCM Experts,
I have been reading through all of the threads on this topic, and I have seen multiple ways of handling dotted line relationships - A/B005, A/B088, A/B742, or custom OM infotype to maintain this relationship.
Which of these is best practice? We have A/B005 active as an allowed relationship, however when I tested it I realized that we cannot currently visualized this relationship type in the OM - which can lead to maintenance issues/errors. The A/B088 relationship will need to be maintained if we are to use it, but I want to know what is best practice before I activate it...and will we be able to see this relationship in PPOME?
We are about to implement Nakisa and the business would like to begin visualizing dotted line relationships (something we do not do at this time). I need to know the best pracitce way for doing this.
Though/advise??

Hi,
As per my understanding, the A/B742 relationship is only offered from EhP4 onwards under the talent management module. From a Nakisa stand point and how well it communicates within SAP specially Talent Management, you would think that they would recommend using A/B742.
I think the A/B088 is not offered in ECC6, A/B005 is there though but you have found out it lacking for your requirement. Let us see what other peers have to say.
Hope this helps.

Imported photos appear only as dotted line in the thumbnail view.

For the past year all of the photos that I have imported just show up as a "blank" with a dotted line around it. I can only view photos one at a time (after I click on it). What's up?

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to rebuild the thumbnails. It can take 3 or 4 goes for this to work

Dotted line not working on stroke with a 0pt dash

I'm having a problem created a dotted line in Illustrator CS5 using the technique of selecting a dashed stroke and setting the dash length to 0pt.
Instead of dots, I'm getting dashes with rounded ends as shown in the image below.
I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but, please, let me know what it is.

I can't remove the second 0pt for dash. Once anythiong has been entered into this field, I can then only set it to 0pt.
The second part of your answer works (as a work around I guess). Thanks very much for that, I just didn;t think of it.
Why is it that I can't delete the entry in the second dash field? I select it, delete, press enter, but when I open the stroke panel, it's there as 0pt. If I select it, delete it, then tab to the next field, it fills it in with 0pt.

Make the highlight bold when tabbing through items on page instead of tiny faint dotted line

When you tab around within a page (i.e. with the Tab key) and things such as links get highlighted they are only indicated with an extremely thin faint dotted line. Is there a way to make the highlighting more prominent such as a thicker line or light shading of the boxed-in area?
I don't even know what words to use for this in order to search for an add-on. What do you call it when you click on Tab to move the selection from one item on a page to the next? Highlighting? I don't think it's the cursor because the cursor is for typing words, right? I'm not talking about switching from one page or FF tab to another. I'm talking about when you move the selection (??) from one link to the next within a single page and then you can hit Enter which is like clicking on the highlighted link.

You can set the browser.display.focus_ring_width pref to a higher value (default is 1) on the <b>about:config</b> page.

IPhoto 6-photo are gone, just dotted lines. info is still there.

I was working on macbook pro on airplane with an external HD where my iPhoto library is kept. My battery ran out so I closed the laptop and disconnected the ext. HD until I got home. After turning on the laptop at home, the computer opened up to iPhoto still open and images showing. Only I had forgotten to connect the ext. HD yet. I believe I closed the program and connected the ext. HD and reopened iPhoto. This time all the photo images were not displayed, only dotted lines where they would have been. This was true for the thumbnail and the large image. The info box still showed the correct file name and size etc. but no image. What happened and how do I fix this? I did go to the finder and iphoto library and found that I could see the images there, so they shouldn't be gone. Just need to know what to do so iphoto can see them all. Thanks
Jon

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Red dotted line appear on the screen

There is a red dotted horizontal line will occasionally appear on the playbook's screen while I'm browse the web. It will stay there for from seconds to minutes. That only appear with the browser app and happen once on the Pictures app. Seems like a software problems? Or hardware( stuck pixies)?
Anyone gets clue about what is this thing about?
Updated: Just found out there are blue dotted line as well.

Hi Byron,
I am creating an application that could possibly identify and fix your issue. Based on the pictures, it could be one of three things
Dead Pixels
Misbehaving Pixels
Hardware/Screen defect
The app will try to solve 1 & 2 by cycling through all the pixels using an algorithm I made. Hopefully this will fix.
Cheers

Matix Org Mgmt & Dotted line reporting

you cannot craete a matrix org structure.
Matrix is only for maintanencepurpose of the org structure already created using other interfaces like simple maintanence,general structure,export mode, and organizing and staffing.
