Gray image? cover? over images in slideshow

Trying to make a slide show from the Iphoto library. However, after selecting images and hitting "Play" there is a gray image with an exclamation point in the middle of it that blocks the photo. The slideshow won't play. What is this gray "box" and how to I get rid of it. Only about 20 images in the library seem infected with this gray box.

Docinatl:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are you able to see those problem images in the Edit mode? Here are a couple of things to try:
1 - locate one of the jpg files in the Originals folder, select it and bring up it's Info window (Command+I). Select Preview as the default application and click on the Apply to all... button (even if Preview is already showing).
2 - Download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.

Foreign image imposed over images in Facebook

A strange image is displaying over my Facebook page. Refers to Access denied and my not being permitted to access some strange URL.
Some form of virus,no doubt.
How do I get rid of it?

Error in Pages when exporting ePub with image cover: Other images dissapear

That's it, if I insert an image in the first page, and select use first page as cover when exporting ePub, some (not all) other images inside the book will dissappear. I checked everything many times, and all the images are placed ok (not floating)...
Any idea about this issue?
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the Apple forums
Exporting to ePub is new to Pages 4 with the 9.0.4 updaters. It appears that most Pages users don't have a need to export to ePub, so no replies. Sorry.
For Yvan,
The iPad Pages forum won't help in this situation. The iPad version of Pages can't export to ePub & Pages isn't involved in reading ePub files on the iPad.

Translucent gray over image in thumbnil (grid) view

See example image below:
one thumbnail looks OK (on left), but other, problem image (on right) has translucent gray layer over image!
The problem images are not in a stack.
If I click the problem image thumbnail it looks normal, but the gray overlay re-appears if I click on anther image.
It shows OK in develop module.
I know this is probably something stupid, but...can anyone help identify what is happening?
-Colin

Most probably you have flagged the image as "rejected" by pressing "X" on your keyboard.
When an image is flagged as rejected it gets that grey overlay that disappears when you select the image. You can still edit them in the Develop Module.
To delete the "Rejected" flag, select the images with the grey overlay and press "U" or "P" on your keyboard. "U" stands for "Unflagged". "P" stands for "Picked".

Repeating images and replacing images in a slideshow

does anyone happen to know if I can select a set of images and basically copy them so that they are duplicated within a slideshow? I have a rotation of an object and I would like the slideshow to show it rotating twice whereas right now it only rotates once. Is there a way to copy the 60 images and paste them within the slideshow (even though they will have similar names) so that I can put them at the end of the first 60? I have a front cover image and a end image so I can't just loop it.
Is it preferable for me to import the images into Aperture again by copying them into the slideshow?
Also, is it possible to alternatively /write-over/ images in the slideshow? RIght now I have some images at the front that I would like to redo and I am wondering if I can redo them outside of Aperture and simply copy them into the slideshow and have the old ones written over or if it necessary to delete the old ones and import the new ones...
thanks for any help with this.

Hi Gibbah,
You'd have to place the line with:
var imageLoader:Loader;
within the loop.
Now the same loader is told 5 times to load an image and to
report when done. Each time overwriting the previous commands.
With the variable declared inside the loop a new loader is
created each time.
In the eventhandler you'd have to point to:
Loader( e.target.loader ) instead of 'imageLoader'
apart from that i will aways trace 5 since it is declared
outside any function and thus reports the last value it was
assigned. This also means all images will end up at the same
position.
hth,
Manno

Roll over images in a slide show

I am trying to make a slide show of before and after images for a client.
Rather than just have them all one after the other, I want all the after images to display as normal, and the before to display on hover for each slide.
I can make this work in a basic slide show when rather than adding an image to the Hero Image box, I use the fill and states.
However this only allows me to do one, as I can't add any more empty Hero Image boxes (or I don't know how to do that, is it possible?)
When I add an image via the slide show menu it appears on top of any fills, and I can't seem to give images added this way a roll over state.
Can anyone tell me how to either add extra blank Hero Image boxes, or how to apply the effect I want to the images in the Hero Image boxes.
Thanks in advance, if there is any further info I can provide about my problem, please let me know!
M

Hi,
You cannot add multiple hero image boxes within the same Slideshow. Now , you can use different slideshows for your different images but that wont give you the slideshow effect but you will be able to see all your after images at once and then if you rollover them you would be able to see the before images.
Now, In order to create the effect that you want, what I would suggest you is to use a 'Composition widget'. In the composition widget, you can make the triggers as small thumbnails for your images and in the Target you can set the fill as your after image and in rollover state you can use the before image. After this you can use the Autoplay feature available in the composition widget and you will get the desired result.
Hope this helps

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.

How to adjust the position of an image in a full screen slideshow

Hi I'am using a full screen slideshow composition on my page and muse is not letting me adjust the position of the image to the top, middle or bottom of the frame under the fill option when the image is selected in the slideshow.
I also find it very buggy when previewing the page in a browser, some time it re-sizes the image only larger but never scales down proportionately, only on rare occasions. Why does this happen?
Can someone please help ASAP I need to get this site done by tomorrow.
Thanks,
Gary

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The effect you're looking for is 'Scale'
In Keynote '09, 5.1.1 select the graphic.
Click Inspector in the tool bar, Build Inspector (3rd icon from the left), (Build In and Build Out are both set to None for this step) Effect, Action, and then Scale.
It rescales ('zooms') the selected item (image) up or down from 0% to 200%
Clicking on the More Options button at the bottom opens a drawer to the left, and gives you more control over how the build occurs, whether they happen automatically, timed, or when you click, and re-order build steps.
At 200%, double the original size, resolution could be a problem. There is a workaround, because it also scales smaller, down to 0%. So I would scale the graphic down 'small' as the first step to fit at the bottom, (even hide it behind a background-colored box) as you scale it down, and then at the end, scale up to full size to fill the screen at 'normal' resolution.
In the attached example, I use a 'scale' up to go from 100% to 130% on a map, and use arrows and a flashing line to point out the road where a specific business is located with 12 steps. Some elements in my slides have been intentionally obscured. For simplicity, I've eliminated showing any steps but the initial title and the scale.

Float roll over image on top help

Its looking quite messy.I have an image that is circular, 6
points and each point has a rollover effect where a paragraph of
text is to be displayed in middle of circle. I created the points
to buttons, F6 on each button state, created a new layer and on
rollover here I added my paragraph text with gray background so the
text stands out.
Problem Im having is the points of circle are 6 images along
outside of circle. Some paragraphs of text are over some images,
and some images are hiding parts of paragraph and gray backing. ???
I think I need a float on top command for each paragraph
symbol.
My main timeline has only one line and one frame. I thought
there may be an issue with the way the images are ordered in
library, but tried moving some up and down and it didnt seem to
help.
Any suggestions on this? Im about brain dead over trying to
get this to work.

put all the paragraphs on the topmost layers. or convert them
to movieclips and use the swapDepths() method.

Setting the order of a roll over image in a quiz

Hi,
I'm using captivate 4 and having issues in setting a quiz for my students.
I want to have an icon to roll-over so the students can access information relating to the question, eg, diagrams, tables, graphs etc.
I have done all this yet when the roll over image appears its order is set behind the question and answers, I need it in front. when trying to change the order, eg bring to front, all the options are grayed out and not available. Is there a way to fix this as I know I cannot use a slidelet in a question slide.
I have also tried to re-order the question and answer text, but is is also grayed out.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Cheers
Andrew

Hello,
You cannot insert interactive objects on any default question slide from pool or not. You will have to change the action to be executed on Success/Failure. There it is possible to jump to a slide.
Beware: you can never jump to a slide that is outside of the quiz 'scope'. This scope starts with the slide where you have the first scoreable object, which can be a question slide but also a button/click box/TEB with a score. The scope typically ends with the score slide. So be sure that the slide you want to jump to are in that scope. Eventually you can add a scoreable object (with a low score perhaps of 1pt) like a button or click box to the first slide of your project. If you keep the score slide as the last slide you will not have to worry anymore about the scope.
Hope this makes sense,
Lilybiri

Image all over the button

Hi guys,
Wonder if it is possible to place an image all over the button (as if it is "center" borderLayout).
login = new JButton(new ImageIcon("images/login.gif"));
in this case the image is in the center and i want to eliminate all the gray area.
thanks
peter

button.setInserts(0,0,0,0);
button.setBorder(null);
button.setBorderPainted(false);think that might work!! try one of those all all of them hope that it helps

How to use the same image map over and over

Sorry, I posted this a couple of years ago and got a good answer by Murray. I'm so rusty with it, I can understand how it works anymore.
Question:
I have a large jpeg image map for a hundred pages. The jpegs are all the same except I changed the city name for each one.
So for each corresponding htm page, the 4-5 links out are the same.
Waht is the trick to not have to create by hand hotspots? thanks.
I have previous notes, but I don't understand anymore, (too rusty) what they mean:
The good news is that you really don't need a template at all.
Just open one of your existing pages in DW, select that central image, browse to select the correct replacement image, and save the page with a new name. It will have all of the image maps already there, from the original image. One and done as they say."
My old interpretation of this:
select the large jpeg and then in link field drag over to the new city jpeg

Ok, Nancy, code copy/ paste did work fine.
what does this mean:
"Change the image in the properties panel to display your new image."
(the image is displaying ok)
NEverthesless, I think I got Murrays old notes.
Here is my new version of Murrays writing, easiest way I think:
You open up a pre-existing html, say Chicago. Then drag over with pointer to the new jpeg you want (Buffalo). It replaces Chicago with the buffalo jpeg, all links work perfectly. Then do a save as called Buffalo.

File Path Visible When I Hover Over Images

Hi,
I converted a PowerPoint document to a PDF. The PowerPoint document includes images (GIF, JPEG). When I hover my cursor over the image in the PDF I created I can see the file path C:\User\User Name\Photo\File Name.JPG.
Is there a setting in the PDF that I can 'unselect' so I don't see the file path when I hover over images?
Thanks,

Finder Cover Flow image preview size is small, cannot be adjusted and showing empty blank previews in Mavericks

When using Cover Flow the image preview in the main window (not the thumbnail list at the bottom) images appear but only use about 1/2 of the window space available. It is also showing black/blank preview images as I scroll through the files even though they are cached.
I enlarge the Finder to fill my 27 inch display, slide the size adjustment handle (three lines under the file name preview) all the way down as far as I can. The preview only enlarges to a certain point leaving the upper half of the window unused. I wish to enlarge the cover flow preview images to use this window space even if it affects the overlapping or number of cover flow images avaialble in the window. I am assuming this is becasue of the nature of cover flow showing the two previous and two following images to the left and right of the previewed image. As I scroll left and right occsionally one of the upcoming images will appear as and empty preview as well. It's all goofed up.
Hoping for any suggestions.
I have seen articles about using terminal to adjust "flow height" but never anything substainial that seemend like an informed solution.

I also would like to know if there is an answer to this. My landscape photos always display with a third of the cover flow window as blank empty space (matching your screenshot). This seems like such a waste. Is there any way to change the "padding" between the top of the finder bar and the cover flow preview?

Cover Flow images don't fill Finder window?

Hi everyone,
I like to use Finder in Cover Flow mode to browse through images. However, if I expand Finder to fill the whole screen, and I expand the Cover Flow pane to take up most of the screen, the Cover Flow images don't expand to fill up the Cover Flow pane. I have the High Res screen, so maybe it looks normal on a lower res screen but I think it's odd that Cover Flow doesn't try to expand the images to fil the space. Is this behaviour normal and is there a way to change it?
Cheers,
Jim

Solved the problem myself. I retyped the name of each folder (same name) under Pictures and added a space plus #1 after each folder name. Images appeared almost immediately on the content pane after that was done. Later I will then open up on my hard drive, under Cover Flow, two windows....one from the Pictures Folder and the other one from the Window Documents that contain the images transferred from an old hard drive. I will then select the images I want to keep and drag and drop the images from the Window Documents to the sub-folders in Pictures and that should do it. Attempting to do it from within Bridge will cause the images in Pictures to disappear so this other way is safer. Then I will trash my Window Document folder when I'm done. If anyone has experience this problem this might be a way to see if my solution might work for you. (I formerly had a window system and now have a iMac).

Help! Why do my images look overly sharp and appear to download?

I recently updated CC and now my images look overly sharp when I'm batching or working at a smaller size. When zoomed in at 50% they look fine. Is there any way to fix this? It's very difficult to work with everything looking so warped at a smaller scale. Also, when I open a file after batching and running an action it appears to "download" line by line instead of just opening. What is going on?

When I am batching multiple images and running actions, I don't want to view them at 100% they are huge files. 24 megapixels, on average 60.5M and 3925x5945 at 300 dpi. That's REALLY zoomed in. I was not having this issue with CC until I updated it and now everything looks warped at a smaller scale. I want to know why it changed and how to change it back.
