Ghosted images and bars on image edges

Hoping someone can help. I have an issue where my exported video (H.264) has many frames where the edges of the images look like a bunch of horizontal bars and the iamges are ghosted. Guessing this is an interlacing issue. It is happening when there is motion or the camera is panning. I do not see this durring the editing process only after it is exported as a Quicktime Movie H.264 format. I have attached some images that show the issue. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

The top image was shot with an iPhone 4s (1920 x 1080 .mov file, H.264, Linear PCM, Timecode). The middle image was shot with a Sony Camcorder (1440 x 1080 .mov file, H.264, Linear PCM, Timecode) and the bottom image was shot with a RED Scarlet @ 4k. So it would be safe to assume it is not the source that creates the issue.
The imported files are edited using original or optimized media. Export is set to H.264, Resolution: Same as Source, Audio file Format: QT (AAC), Include Chapter Markers is checked.

I need to create a ghost image of my G4 iBook (OSX 10.3.9) and replace the OS9 on my G4 tower with the created iBook ghost image. How do you do this?

I need to create a ghost image of my G4 iBook (OSX 10.3.9) and replace OS9 on a G4 tower with the Ghost image. How do you do this? Will my applications still work?
The iBook is running Pather, i have tons of programs i use on it, project files, etc... and my G4 Mac tower is more powerful, faster, and more reliable than the iBook. I basiclly just want to take the entire OS, programs and files... create an image, and drop the image on the G4 Tower so it basically will function just like the iBook. Like a mirror image of everything that is on the iBook. I know that you can create image files in the Disk Utility on Panther, but will that back up the entire OS with settings, programs, files and all? ive never done anything like this before, so i wanted to post this up to see if i would get an answer. In the meantime, im reading "Mac OS X, Help Desk Essentials By Owen Linzmayer" to see if i can find the steps to do this.
Any help would be greatly apprciated. Much thanks!

Can't be done as an exact copy from one Mac to the other. The operating systems are system specific. First make sure your system doesn't need a firmware update to get 10.2 or later on it. You'll need to install 9 on it if it does, direct from a 9 retail CD that is compatible with it *. This disc can't say Upgrade, Dropin, or OEM. To determine compatibility, identify your G4 tower:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3082
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42739
Then look at the OS 9 compatibility:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25517
Then apply the correct update
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117
The last Mac OS 9 to come retail is 9.2.1, and that's newer than 9.0.4, 9.0.2, and 9.1.
Your ghost image can be done using cloning software, but then you'll have to use a retail 10.3 installer and 10.3.9 combo update on the G4 tower. Then use the Migration Assistant to import the data from the clone of the iBook. The 10.3 retail disc looks like * and does not say upgrade, dropin, or OEM. The 10.3.9 combo update is here:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosxcombinedupdate1039.html
The clone to an external hard drive can be done with these instructions*:

My iPhone 5 claims to have 1.81GB(211 photos) of storage taken by "Photo Library". How do I locate and delete these ghost images to free up my storage space?

Hello. I've had my iPhone 5 for just over a year now. I just did a factory reset on it for the first time. When I look at storage usage in my iPhone settings, or when I connect my phone to iTunes, it claims that I have 211 Photos taking up 1.81GB of my storage. I'm very confused why because I've deleted every single image I can find. I deleted Twitter, Instagram, Vine, Facebook, etc., assuming that one of these apps was storing these images somewhere. After doing a full factory reset and iCloud backup(excluding photos), I still have the 1.81GB of photos that I just cannot find. I've already tried to delete them through iTunes, unfortunately to no avail. It specifically states there is 211 photos taking up the space. Can anybody help me find these ghost images before I lose my mind??

Copying files works OK, but not moving. It seems like recently(iOS8?), when you try to delete photos from an iPhone that has been mounted you will get a 'permission denied' error. I haven't found a way around this.
I've resorted do manually deleting using one-by-one selections on the iPhone itself. Dropbox carousel is great for this but I don't use Dropbox yet. They other way is to do an iTunes sync and then delete the synced folder contents but that just feels 'weird'. Maybe there's a good App out there for photo management.

30" HD Apple Monitor leaving ghost images and vertical lines

I have a Mac Pro Gen 1 with ati 5770 HD video card runing Snow Leopard. My 30" HD Apple Monitor will flicker and leave verticle lines and perstent ghost images from closed windows, even during shut down. Some times it will flicker back to normal, but then it will flicker back to leaving verticle lines and ghost images. I have tried using a different video card, same issue, nothing changes. I have tried instaling new video drivers and using old ones. I have been using the ati 5770 HD for months now without any issues. How do I fix this?

If two different cards produce the same results then I would think its your 30" display which is failing.
Update:
I just noticed in your sig you are using 10.6.8. There are some threads about video problems (flickering, not sure about vertical lines) with 10.6.8 (google "10.6.8 flickering site:discussions.apple.com"). So if you boot from your installer dvd which presumably has an older version of OSX (10.6.4 maybe?) do you still see the display problems?
Another thought - would an smc and pram reset affect anything? You might give it a try too.

Have PS Element 12 using it with new MacBook pro. When I edit and save a photo in jpeg format, and try to e-mail it, it has a duplicate but ghost image underneath, and I don't want this second image. How do I get rid of it?

Unwanted ghost image underneath edited file. Need to solve!!! Have not experienced this with my old CS2. Please help.

Hi Panamark,
The problem has been resolved for me. I am a little fuzzy on how it got fixed.
I only have 3G, so I think I went to the library to use wi-fi.
I think I just deleted the stuck apps, and the downloaded them again. You do not have to pay again when you download a previously purchased app.
It is now August, and fortunately I have not had any stuck apps lately.
As you may already know, you cannot download an app over 20 MB via 3G.
I have the Kindle app also. No new updates lately. I only bought one thing using Kindle. It was a guide to iPad that was only $1.99 or so, but it did not really have anything that cannot be found in normal free Apple guide.
I have borrowed an ebook from the library using Overdrive app. You can choose the ebook version from Kindle.
I don't have any weather apps.
Let me know what happened when you get the chance.

Ghost image on top of screen in the menu bar...

I've use an alternative black and white screensaver to try to get rid of that ghost image or look like "ink" going down on the upper right of my screen but it's still comming back and getting worst every week...., there is also a "grey" line all the way horizontaly also on top ... and even worst, i see my user name ghost image even when the screen is black ! i don,t think i'll be able to get rid of that and my question is , does applecare cover that kind of weird thing ? ... i didn't buy the applecare yet my computer is just 6 month old ... is that problem cover by the warranty

Continued from above post:
And, you can search for the term: "Image Persistence" to find more.
Basically, the information from Apple says that to make a burned-in image disappear, you need to leave the computer off for a period of time equal to (or greater than) the time the image was displayed on the screen. But, that may not be possible when you consider that some images are on the screen the whole time the computer is off. So, it might mean turning a computer off for days in some cases.
I've made them go away temporarily by turning off the computer for 24-hours. And, also by displaying a pure white image on the screen for 6 or 8 hours. But, the second method was less effective.
The solution of turning it off was effective until the machine got hot again. Once it got really hot, the previous images re-appeared (further indicating that temperature impacts this problem).
My personal lesson from all of this is to not buy another computer from Apple that has a built-in screen.
My old LCD panel from Best Buy only cost me around $200 and it's still perfect after around 3 years.
Too bad the problems with both of my iMac G5's prevented me from owning them beyond 6 months each. I've never gotten rid of any computer I've ever owned that fast before (or since).
Between 2 iMac G5 computers (both different revisions), I've been through:
3 LCD panels
1 Logic-Board (would have been 2, got rid of the other as it was failing)
1 Mouse
1 Keyboard
1 Power Supply
1 Front Bezel
Neither Logic board was replaced for fan noise. They were both actual failures.
All 3 LCD panels were having burn-in issues
the mouse button was sticking (the very day it arrived)
The keyboard actually cracked on it's own
The power supply smoked
The front bezel was broken when it arrived.
And, there's probably a few items I can't think of at the moment.
The unfortunate thing, is that I have probably owned 100 computers or more in my time (used to be really heavy into them), and I don't think I ever had that many parts fail among the entire lot of them (except for the 2 iMac G5 systems).
Before my iMac G5's, I had never left a computer with a service tech. But, thanks to my iMac G5's, I got to know the local service guy very, very, very well. He knows who I am immediately when I call.
I hope to never have that sort of problem again. Here's hoping for a good Power Mac replacement (please Apple, no more systems with built-in monitors).

Portege M200 - Boot and restore ghost image trough USB Portable Hard disk

Hi,
I work in a company with several M200.
I want to boot from a USB portable hard disk, and run a ghost image.
How to recognize the usb hard disk and boot from it?

Hello
Im not sure but as far as I know its not possible to boot from USB HDD
According the user manual you can boot from:
-Built-in HDD
-CD-ROM
-FDD (or SD memory card)
-Network (LAN)
-PCA (ATA) card boot

Text input ghost image

I created several text input fields in a presentation.
A ghost image of the shortcut character displays when a user
highlights the text field.
Any insight??

I'm just taking a shot at this because there's not much to go
on.
I am aware of a similar complaint regarding invisible buttons
with a shortcut key assigned to them. When an invisible button is
triggered via a keyboard shortcut, that invisible button ends up
getting a yellow rectangle on it -- something to do with
Captivate's "focus manager," or some such.
Could it be that you have a single slide with multiple text
input fields on that slide?
If so, I can imagine a variety of problems (including the
yellow box or "ghost characters") being exhibited.
The most effective way to build interactions in Captivate is
to use only one interaction per slide. If you have one screenshot
on which you need to simulate the entry of text in multiple fields,
you'll be better off using a separate slide for each field:
1) On slide "a", have the student enter the text in field 1.
2) On slide "b", display the correct answer in field 1, and
have them enter text in field 2.
3) On slide "c", display the correct answers in fields 1 and
2, and have them enter text in field 3.
Repeat this "build up" of entries until they've made all the
necessary entries.
I suspect if you build your interaction in this manner, the
"ghost" issue you're seeing won't show up at all. If this doesn't
work for you, maybe you can describe your situation better or
provide an online sample we can look at.

Help, ghost image appearing in composition background

Hello
I have an issue of a ghost image appearing in the composition background. I can't figure out how it got there or how to remove it. It's really annoyong as the image also appears in rendered videos.
This only seems to appear when my composition settings is set at 1024 x 576 px, which I must use for projects. If I increase the composition size by 1 pixel, the image disappears, change it back and it reappears.
Please note, that there is no files in my project and the image still appears.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Update your graphics driver and flush the disk cache. This is an artifact that relates to that - eitehr the buffer reappears when you set it back to the old resolution or an invalid cache is pulled in. It only disappears when you change the resolution because naturally there is no previously stored data...

Ghost image

Hi All,
I have developed a application in Director in which i have
used both and flash and jpeg images. In my Main screen i have a
Jpeg image as background and above that i have a Flash navigation
menu.
The Problem is when i leave the application idle for some
time and working on other application like word or any other
application. When i resume to our applictio i could not see any
background image, its black and the flash navigation buttons or
visible. Why this Ghost image happens.
Can some one help me on this. Looking forward to Yout reply
thanking you all.
Rgds,
P.Suresh kumar

Are you using Direct To Stage on your Flash?
Try this code in a movie script (pre-MX2004 syntax), it will
foce the stage to redraw when your app comes to the front
on activateApplication
(the stage).bgcolor = (the stage).bgcolor

Ghost Images - Pages to PDF, Kinko's Printing

I could really use some help here. I am trying to print about 8 pages of images & text in the Extreme Template. When I export the file to PDF everything looks fine, I then took it to kinko's to be printed on card stock and binded and when they did that the entire document had ghost images all over the place and really ruins the document. If anyone can help, that would be great!

Hello Matt,
this is a strange problem I have never heard before. Are you able to print the document by yourself or by a friend to verify the "printing only" problem? I am right to think you have looked at the document a couple of times yet, since you now the problem, and there is nothing you can see by turning the visibility of the layout guides and the invisibles on (with the menu "View/Show Layout" and "View/Show Invisibles") and zooming in and out? Select all with a frame select by dragging the mouse pointer from the print margin over the page and see if there are some unexpected objects, even if this is very improbable.
If you are willing and able to do, make a scan or a digital photo of a few pages of your printed document and send it to my e-mail address you can find by clicking onto my username above my avatar image. This was the most efficient way in the past to find reasons of such strange problems.
But I am not sure that this is really a fault of your document, because the PDF export has to be corrupted to produce such errors. Have you ever had similar problems before with printing any of your PDFs from Pages? You should try to view the PDF with as many viewers as you can. If there is no problem (and the same with prints of other printers) I would mention that it is a problem with the printer driver or other software at Kinko.
I am able to print with a good color laser here and if you have no possibilities to check that by yourself I will print a page here. But for that you have to send me the PDF. So try to verify this first by yourself.
Please inform us about the progression.

Ghost images in Browser windows

I now have may thousands of photos and iPhotos is struggling to cope. I am trying to use Aperture but find it very frustrating. Whenever I try and look at images on browser they are ghost images (just dotted lines around) and I can only see them if double click on ghost. This seems to happen whether or not I have imported the images into Aperture or left them where they are. Sometimes it says iPhoto original and shows nothing see attached screenshot
Any advice appreciated

I have also tried "Generating Thumbnails" and "Updating Preview" Neither had any effect.

Image edges bleeding to next page when exporting

Wondering if anyone can help me?
I've created a newsletter in Indesign and have placed images and coloured boxes to the edges of some of my pages. But when I export the newsletter to PDF the image edges are showing up on the adjacent page (even though they are only on one page in Indesign). How can I stop this?

>Should one add bleeds so that the imposer would be able to pull everything toward the edge of the page without leaving an unprinted strip in the gutter??
John, there are two ways of keeping the outer margins uniform while making the creep adjustment:
1. The inner pages of the signature are progressively moved toward the spine, with the inner margins becoming progressively smaller. This method needs no extra bleed image beyond the inside page edge.
2. The outer pages of the signature are progressively moved away from the spine, with the inner margins becoming progressively larger. This method does indeed need the source pages to have extra bleed image beyond the inside page edge.
High end imposition software have the flexibility to do it either way depending on the specific needs of the case at hand, and this is selectable by the pre press operator using the imposition software. Some times even a combination of the two methods can be used in the same signature so that half of the pages are shifted outwards, while half are shifted inwards.
So pages that are going to have an outward creep adjustment may need to be handled as Peter outlined in #6.
Peter please note from this example that spiral bound books are not the only case where bleed needs to be provided at the spine. In fact all signature work needs this consideration if a creep adjustment of the second kind is to be used. But lets keep it in perspective: this is a very fine point in imposition work and can generally be ignored.

Cannot export slow motion w/o ghost images

Hello everyone,
The home movies and video works in my computer look exactly as I want them to and they export to QuickTime perfectly in "DV Full Quality." My problem is that the movies export both to the camera and to the DVD burner with awful ghost imagery in the slow motion clips. With my earlier version of iMovie, the slow motion rendered just fine to the camera, so I could at least create VHS tapes to share with family and friends. Now the movies export with the jittery ghost images. Color and sound are fine, it's just the slow motion that creates a problem. I'm so frustrated cuz I upgraded to solve the problem and I feel like my works are "trapped" in my computer--I just want to send videos and DVDs to family! IF I upgrade (again) to a new computer (G5?) or the latest Toast, will this solve the problem? Is there anything that can be done? Please know that I am a novice in computer language and need to be spoken to like a small, small child... Sorry for the length of this complaint and THANK YOU for any help!
Katiefish1

Hello Bengt!
Well, as it turns out, I don't have iDVD (or whatever it is I need to activate iDVD in iMovie...), but, as I was trying to find it, up popped the prompt I was looking for and had tried to find in the iMovie "help" thingie -- "you have some slow motion clips that need to be rendered, ..." and my problems are now solved!
So, I couldn't follow your advice exactly, but, because I tried, the solution presented itself unexpectedly.
Thank you, thank you! I don't have to buy a new computer (today)
