Graphics Place holders - instead of images

Hi Guys
I am using ID4 and have set up various items that I repeatedly use in a library.
Every time I drag over a library item that includes an image or two, the result is that I get the images as Gray Placeholder boxes with diagonal lines through.
How can I get the images to show instead of the placeholder boxes.
Thanks

Hello Peter.
You have just reminded me the I moved my images folder since creating the library.
Many thanks for the fix.

When using private browsing to view image results in Safari 5.1.3, only the first two rows of results are visible, the following four or so rows display greyed out place holders, and the safe search button is inoperable. Suggestions?

When using private browsing to view image results in Safari 5.1.3, only the first two rows of results are visible, the following four or so rows display greyed out place holders, the remainder of the results page is blank, and the safe search button is inoperable. When I turn off private browsing and refresh the page, everything works again.
Anyone else having this problem?

I have got the same behaviour after the last Safari Update to 5.1.3. It seems that Safari now handles some scripts in a new way. If you debug the Google Website, you will see, that there is some Javascript Error, that seems to prevent to write into local cache. After some searching I wasn't able to finde a solution for this problem, other then disabling Javascript while private browsing to prevent the script loading. You then are able to use Google with the old layout. The option to disable JavaScript can be found in the Menu "Developer", wich has to be enabled in Safari in the options first.
In my opinion this is a bug that is now occuring, because Apple changed something in private browsing and that has to be fixed by Google now, to run again. Or we will have to wait for 5.1.4, as you can read online Apple will change and bugfix the javascript engine in that version, perhaps this fixes the problem as well. I hope so!
If anyone is in the developer program perhaps you could test this with the beta of 5.1.4 and tell us if it works.

EPUB - GRAY BOXES Instead of Images

When exporting my epub book, I get gray boxes instead of images. Has anyone else run into this or know what to do to resolve this issue?
All the images are linked properly and InDesign is saying I don't have any errors. The only way I can get images to show up is ONLY if I select "Use Existing Image for Graphic Objects". But if I select this, I lose the cropping and orientation adjustments I've made in my inDesign file. I've even tried just copy and pasting an image into the document itself.
Needless to say I've spent way too long trying to figure this out and haven't made any progress...

If other people can export it fine but you can't, then I would suggest some troubleshooting of your InDesign install.
Have you tried rebuilding your preferences and then re-exporting?
Have you made sure you're not using any third-party plugins that automatically load with InDesign?
Assuming you've done those two tests and are still having a problem, then try it on a test account on your computer. Package the InDesign file and put it on a thumbdrive (or I guess you could just download the files from the link above) and then log out of your account on your computer, and log in again to a fresh new account with admin privileges. (If you haven't created one yet, you should do that first before logging out ... lol)
When you log in to the new account, all the apps are available to you but none of your other account's files or user settings. So open InDesign, download/copy over the packaged file, and open the layout and export. See if that makes any difference.
I have a short course on lynda.com on troubleshooting InDesign (just 10 short videos) that goes over these and other steps.

White mark instead of Image

Hi.
I try to place an image at a panel.
Here is the whole program:
public class Frame1 extends JFrame {
JPanel contentPane;
JPanel jPanel1 = new JPanel();
JLabel jLabel1 = new JLabel();
public Frame1() {
contentPane = (JPanel) this.getContentPane();
contentPane.setLayout(null);
this.setSize(new Dimension(400, 300));
jPanel1.setBounds(new Rectangle(46, 50, 303, 193));
jPanel1.setLayout(null);
jLabel1.setBounds(new Rectangle(110, 39, 83, 74));
contentPane.add(jPanel1, null);
jLabel1.setIcon(new ImageIcon("logo.jpg"));
jPanel1.add(jLabel1, null);
But instead of image I got a white mark.
Can someone help me?
I broke the head!

Hi,
As far as i understand..the problem is you r not resizing your image and what you r seeing is only part of the image(which incidently is a white mark in logo.jpg), that is of your label size.
Try options like -
1. Increase the size of ur JLabel and u will see the bigger image.
2. choose a picture that exactly fits your label.
3. you can also resize your image by using the following code -
* Resize the image.
*@param original path of image file to be resized.
*@param wid width of the resized image.
*@param het height of the resized image.
*@return Image
public static Image resize(String original, int wid, int het) {
          Image resizedImage = null;
          try {
               File originalFile = new File(original);
               ImageIcon ii = new ImageIcon(originalFile.getCanonicalPath());
               Image i = ii.getImage();
               int iWidth = i.getWidth(null);
               int iHeight = i.getHeight(null);
               if ((wid > iWidth) && (het > iHeight)) {
                    return i;
               if (wid < iWidth && het > iHeight) {
                    resizedImage = i.getScaledInstance(wid, iHeight
                                        , Image.SCALE_DEFAULT);
               } else if (wid > iWidth && het < iHeight){
                    resizedImage = i.getScaledInstance(iWidth, het
                                        , Image.SCALE_DEFAULT);
               } else {
                    resizedImage = i.getScaledInstance(wid, het
                                        , Image.SCALE_DEFAULT);
          } catch (Exception e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
          return resizedImage;
     }use this then
Image selectedImage = Photo.resize(selectedFile,ICON_WIDTH, ICON_HEIGHT);
          JPanel jImagePane = new JPanel();
          jImagePane.add(
          new JLabel(new ImageIcon(selectedImage)));hope this helps,

Difference between place holders and formulas ?

hi all , i want to know what can i do with place holders , i can not do with formulas ?
when do i need to use place holders ??
thanks in advance

For a formula, you are only returning one value.
So... if a user sent in a parameter of :p_class_number = 101 and I wanted to build a title for my report then I could create a formula named :CF_Report_Title and set it to a Character Datatype with a width of 20 for example. I could then go into the formula and create the following:
function CF_Report_TitleFormula return Char is
begin
   return 'Class Number ' || :p_class_number;
end;
In the layout I would then create a Field named something like F_Report_Title and in the property pallete I would set the source to by formula :CF_Report_Title
For the second example, I could create three more formula's just like I did above to compute the number of people in that class, the average test scores for that class, and the number of people that were absent at any particular time for that class, but instead of having all of those formula's I would personally create three placeholder columns and name them something like:
:CP_class_count
:CP_avg_scores
:CP_absent_count
In the property palette I would probably leave all of these as NUMBER(10) because for this example I am returning numbers. I would then create a formula named :CF_class_info and set the Datatype to NUMBER(1). In the actual formula, I would create a function that looked something like this:
function CF_Class_InfoFormula return Number is
begin
-- Compute the class count
select count (*)
      into :CP_class_count
      from class_detail
    where class_number = :p_class_number;
        and ...;
-- Compute the Average Score
select average(class_score)
      into :CP_class_count
      from class_scores
    where class_number = :p_class_number;
        and ...;
-- Compute the Abscenses
select average(class_score)
      into :CP_class_count
      from class_abscence
    where class_number = :p_class_number;
        and ...;
-- Finished with this formula
   return 1;
end;
At this point, I have run the formula one time, but was able to populate three placeholders. I can then create fields in the layout and reference these placeholders instead of having to create three separate formulas. It works either way, it is just whatever you prefer to do because they would both work.

How do I remove all traces of 'album'? I do not want artwork, blank place holders, titles or artists sorted by album? I just want my music listed by title, artist or genre.

1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad

Blue icon with question mark instead of image in email

Sometimes I get a blue icon with question mark instead of image in email, when viewing in Apple Mail Program.
Does anyone know why?????

I'm asking your thread get redirected to the proper forum. Please read this tip on how to post on Discussions for future threads:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1574700
Is this issue with Tiger or Leopard? Your profile indicates you have a machine with Tiger, yet your signature of your post says you have Leopard.
Also, there is no such thing as a Powerbook Pro. Read the text under the screen to tell us exactly which model you have. MacBook Pro is the name given to Macs that are for the pro lineup of notebooks once Apple shifted to the Intel CPU.

How do I place a large format image into Illustrator

I am trying to place a large format image that I created in Photoshop into Illustrator. I have tried PSD, TIFF, and JPG. I have even cropped down the image into smaller portions to try to make it easier to work with. Every time I try to Place the image I get a dialogue box saying,"The file 'Water 1.jpg' is in an unknown format and cannot be opened.' Can anyone help with this?

I would guess the file is simply too big. Make sure the document is in RGB mode. If I were you, I would never submit a file that size at 300ppi for large format. Large or grand format printers only need around 100 to 144ppi at 100% final size. Also, set the Illustrator file up at 25% scale and place the image at 25% @ 300ppi ( image resolution ends up around 75ppi which is still plenty when enlarged 400% to final size ). Getting back to the original error message, it could be the system is running out of both RAM and scratch disk space and cannot deal with the preview required. Better to scale the file down for large format.

Is it possible to adjust the placement of a still image within a clip in iMovie?

If I place a portrait format image in iMovie and click "Allow black" the image is automatically centred. I would like to range the still image to the left or right to allow for text etc within the frame, but I can't seem to find anything relating to this.

Here's one way you could do it.
First, create a project with just the still images you wan to use in your final project. Basically a slide show of the images you'll being using with their durations adjusted to approximate what they'll be in the final project.
Now Share that slideshow using Export using QuickTime and the Movie to Quicktime setting. Import the resulting movie as a new event in iMovie.
Next, start your final project. You'll want to lay down a clip of black first. If you don't have one lying around you can create on by adding a title with a black background but no text in it.
Now, with Advanced Tools checkin in iMovie>Preference select on of the still images in the event you just created and place it over the black clip and drop it in as picture in picture. Using the picture in picture adjustment you can move the still around in the frame.

I can't view video on imported clips on FCPX, it shows blue instead of image

I can't view video on my imported clips on FCPX, it shows blue instead of image on the clip. I can hear sound but no video. What is the problem. I wish someone can help me on this issue? Thanks.

The camera is Sony Handycam HDR-CX550. I used the internal hard disc to record. I can's use MTS clips if it is recorded on the internal hard disc. I converted clips into MOV, MP4, and Final Cut formats, non of them worked on Final Cut Pro X. I tried to import the same clips on iMovie, it worked but super slow. MOV and MP4 formats used to work for FCPX, the only difference is I recorded the footage with HD 1920x1080.
The clip I imported showed as a blue thing with two rectagle shapes on it. I can hear the sound, but no video. I also imported my old clips with sam format, it worked. I tried a lot of things, no use.
By the way, what is spwecs?

Yosemite place psd or tif images in Illustrator CS4.

I have just upgraded to Yosemite and cannot place psd or tif images to Illustrator CS4. I need a high resolution image with a transparent background for print. Surely there is a fix for this.

In Illustrator CS2, the individual Spot Channels from Photoshop used to become Opacity masks when imported.
In Illustrator CS4, they are not converted to Opacity masks. Your spot colors are still there - look in the Swatches panel. There is a Spot channels image in the layers panel with 100% Multiply blend mode applied to it.
So it is not correct to say that it is no longer possible to bring spot channels from Photoshop into the Illustrator CS4. See the comparison snapshots below.
Hope this helps.

Place holders in a watch folder: can it wait?

Hi,
I'm wondering....is it possible to use a watch folder with a project-collect filesfolder in it that waits until the place holders in the folder are replaced with all of the right footage? when it get's the right footage it should render. Now it renders no matter what is in the project, resulting in an empty movie.
Thanks
Renevgag

Hi
sounds convincing. I will look into those network render programs. Thanks very much for your to the point answer.

When i Place a PSD in Indesign it comes in at 200+% while the image frame is considerably smaller. How do i place so that the image and image frame match?

When i Place a PSD in Indesign it comes in at 200+% while the image frame is considerably smaller. How do i place so that the image and image frame match?

Peter,
The screenshots tell you everything.
The second one tells you how the image frame is automatically set up after a one-click place. It's the blue stroked rectangle with the eight control points at each corner and mid-way along the line. This image frame is generated at a proportionally correct height and width for the image it contains.
Now, if you look at the third screenshot (click on it to see it at a larger size), you will see I've used the direct selection tool (white arrow) to click on the image within the image frame. This CLEARLY shows the image (within the image frame) is substantially larger than the frame generated to contain it. This is indicated by the yellow stroked rectangle with the eight control points at each corner and mid-way along the line.
Notice that the blue and yellow rectangles are vastly different sizes.
In InDesign CS5.5, when i clicked to place the image, the image would fit perfectly within its image frame. the blue and yellow rectangles would match.
I had no need to go click on the proportional fill and centre buttons like i need to do now in CC.
I have a keyboard shortcut to place. I can't do File > Place for the amount of images i need to place.
So to reiterate: How do i place an image so that the image and image frame match?

How to create place holders for serial numbers in billing document

Hey Guys,
I want to create place holders for serial numbers in the billing documents so that the serial number information along with the material number is copied from the delivery document into the billing document. Could you please suggest how to do this.

Hey friend,
We have a user exit for that however I dont remember it. It is known issue as it is essential in India for a telecom industry. They need to declare their invoice no. according to the area. So they are assigning there no ranges with plants. Here plants are nothing but different region.
So you try to find out that exit as you have the similar requirement. And your problem will be solved. If your ABAPer dont get the user-exit and its really urgent come back I will find it out for you.
