Having picture problems
Hi all, wondered if someone could help me. I have an iPod nano and have desperately been trying to get pictures on to it. I use microsoft xp for PC and can't run iphoto. I have read all of the user guides but nothing seems to work. I have made sure my nano is showing in devises on itunes, there is enough disc space, the pictures aren't too big, that they are in the right format, that the sync option is enabled etc but it still wont upload the pictures onto my nano.
I keep getting the error message "The iPod cannot be updated. An unknown error has occured." then another message saying "the disc cannot be read from or written to" however if i then try to upload a song, it does this happily so I know that my nano does work.
Any help would be gratefully appreciated as I'm a little stuck!
Does iPhoto work on Windows XP? I thought it was for Mac, but I don't know.

I am having the problem when trying to take a panorama picture.
It may only take the first frame or doesn't even start at all when I press the shutter button.
even though when i hold the phone straight up and down, so that camera is at the top on the back and the home button is on the bottom on the front.
This problem is irritating me....?To take panorama
- ensure that the panorama option is on
- press the shutter button once
- you will see a line with an arrow
- move around in a circle ( I keep the camera steady and turn myself around in a circle)
- as you do this you will see the arrow moving across the screen as it captures pictures
- at the end of the capture, you will be able to see your panorama picture
I hope that this helps, do report back. -

3G isnt working and I cannot receive or send picture messages...Anyone else having this problem?
When I try to connect to the web on my Droid 2 it says its not connected and there is no 3G symbol at the top of my phone. I also cannot receive or send picture messages from my phone...Is anyone else having this problem or knows how to fix this?
I do apologize about the issues you are experiencing with your device and I will be more than happy to assist you with resolving those issues. First step will will take in resolve the issues will be by updating your device.
On your phone, dial *228
Select option 2 when prompted
Listen to be advised that the update was successful
The device will power off and on (if this is not completed automatically, complete is manually)
Once the device is power back, go ahead and check to see if you are able to send and receive picture messages and that your 3G is working properly. If not, here is a link to additional troubleshooting information:

I have an imac and am using iphoto. Currently I am having a problem with one particular album which shows in the main part of the window a triangle with an exclamation point. The two photos are at the bottom of the main window in the same area where the "info" "edit" "create" area is. I can see the two photos but I can not get them back into the main part of the window. I can't drag them anywhere either. I can't double click or right click on either of the two photos either. All I can do is click on either one and they get a little bigger. Before I saw the exclamation point in the main body of the window all I get is two squares with nothing in them and the entire border is made up of dashes. Can someone help me?
Make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Screenshot is for iPhoto 9
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
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. -
Having a problem saving the graphics on a canvas.
I'm having a problem saving graphics on a canvas. It draws on the canvas but when another window comes up the graphics disappear. I put in a method to take the graphics on the canvas and repaint it with the graphics. But this comes up blank. So I don't know why this is happening. It is probably the paint method but I don't know why. If anyone has any ideas could you please respond because I have had this problem for ages now and it's driving me mad and I have to get this finished or I'm going to be a lot of trouble. I'll show you the code for the class I am concerned with. It is long but most of it can be disregarded. The only parts which are relevent are the paint method and where the drawline e.t.c are called which is in the mouse release

Have anyone been having messaging problems since updating to iOS 6?
Since updating my iPhone 4 to iOS 6 i could no longer send pictures to those who did not have an iPhone. Also I can only send pictures to other iPhone users thru iMessage. Another thing, when my iMessage is turned on it send iMessage text from my email address (Apple ID) instead of from my phone number.
Apple are working on it, many people have been having this probleme mainly on 4 an 4s. All you can do is wait for an upgrade, check this link for better battery life http://www.apple.com/batteries/iphone.html or pick up a mophie juice pack.

Removing Background From Picture Problem
I'm not an expert with Photoshop and am having a problem removing the background from the picture below. The Selected area doesn't stay within the circular cream colored area but always goes outside and fills up the whole square except for the middle hole area. How can I remove the background?
It sounds like you are trying to use something like Quick Select and maybe Refine edge. The problem is that you don't have enough contrast for the work well. You can temporarily increase contrast with a Levels adjustment layer using setting like below
Having made the selection, go back to the original layer to apply the selection.
But that is still not the best way to select with your image. The Pen tool would make a better job, but there is a learning curve in using that. You could just use the elliptical Marquee tool for the center hole. Remember you don't need to do the entire selection in one go.
lastly, you'd have made life easier if you took the photograph with the flange hanging from fishing line against a bright white BG. That's what we call the 'Shoot it Again filter'
Good luck. It soon gets easier

I am having a problem with my facebook widget on my n97. There are pictures that when I click on, a big red X shows on my screen. I then try the web based version on the n97 and the pictures load right up no problem.
I have removed and reinstalled the widget to no help.
It happens to most pictures, but not all.
Any ideas? It is really annoying to want to see the pictures in a gallery that have been posted and not be able to flip through them.
Thanks in advance...I had the same issue.
Removed the app, the installer, upgraded to v20, went into the OVI store and downloaded it again.
You will note in the OVI store there are exactly three (3) Facebook applications. Why? I don't know, someone dropped the ball.
Search 'facebook' and choose the first one 'Facebook for Nokia'.
Since I did that I no longer see the red X.
Hope the works for you.

#Go to Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box).
#Then reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
This will retain your bookmarks, customizations etc., so that if you reinstall Firefox at a later date, these will become available to you again. If you don't want to retain that data, checkmark the box mentioned in step #1 -
My daughter's older Ipod Touch is having a problem with images becoming pixilated when taken from an e-mail and placed into her camera roll. ( She wants to put on Instagram ) Any help?
I think that may be a consequence of the email provider she is using. Some services (AOL is one example) inspect and modify email attachments, particularly photos, resulting in reduced resolution compared to the email that was sent.
The iPod does not do this. The resolution of the picture in the email she receives will be identical to what is imported. -
Firefox upon opening an image in a new tab, centers the image from top and bottom and surrounds the image with a grey frame. Just started having the problem today, searched Google to no avail.
Oh wow, looks like a new feature.
The "page" links in a stylesheet with the address "resource://gre/res/TopLevelImageDocument.css". If you remove that reference, then the image displays in the old style.
'''''Edit: Please skip the rest of this post and check out the next one.'''''
There might be a more elegant solution than that, but you could use a bookmarklet to strip out that link when you want to view the page in its old style. A bookmarklet is a snippet of JavaScript you save on the Bookmarks toolbar for quick access.
First, copy the following code to the clipboard (it's all one long line):
<br>javascript:var ssheet=document.querySelector('link[href="resource://gre/res/TopLevelImageDocument.css"]'); if(ssheet)ssheet.parentNode.removeChild(ssheet); void 0;
Next, if you are not displaying the Bookmarks Toolbar, use View > Toolbars > Bookmarks Toolbar to display it. (If you aren't using the classic Menu bar, press Alt+v to call up the old View menu. Right-clicking the gray area just below the page address also allows you to display the Bookmarks Toolbar.)
Right-click on the Bookmarks Toolbar (or Mac equivalent of right-click!) and choose New Bookmark.
Paste the code into the Location box (the second box).
Then type a useful name in the Name box (e.g., Oldstyle Picture) and click Add.
Now, when you want to tweak the image display, click the button to run the script.
Manual clicking is a hassle, so it might make sense to look into other solutions. (Greasemonkey didn't seem to work; I think it might not run on .jpg files.)
