Help! Actions and placing a pre-made frame on photos

Hi there,
I've made two frames (vertical and horizontal) in place of a watermark to add to my photos for my business. What I'd like to do is build an action that will allow me to place these frames over multiple images rather than having to manually place and align individually. A problem right off is that the photo frames are larger than the pictures themselves and weighted on the end where my name is.
Any help would be greatly apppreciated. Thanks!

Make sure:
1) None of your windows overlap
and
2) Your canvas is set to Fit To Window... you'll see it in the left of 3 pulldown buttons on top of the canvas.
Good luck,
CaptM

Grr... please someone help me and stop me going mad!!!

I've just got a 160gb apple tv and running a macbook so all is good in the apple household, that is until i try and sync my movies or anything thing in itunes over to the apple tv, stream works but as soon as i log out of computer poof everythings gone.
Even after it says it's synced the apple tv still shows as nothing used on the capacity used bit of itunes
all i wanted for christmas was to save my movies to apple tv!!! please someone post me an idiots guide i've try doing what it said in the manual and for me to have to use a manual was hard enough (being a man and all) so for it still not to work!!! Grrr!!!
Please help!!!

Two areas to look at:
Firstly if everything disappears from the tv when you turn off the mac or disconnect in some other way, this is because you are watching or trying to watch streamed content rather than synced content.
You watch streamed content by selecting 'my itunes library' from the source menu on your tv.
You watch synced content by selecting 'tv' from the same menu.
Once you have correctly identified whether you are watching streamed or synced content, you can then determine whether or not content is syncing as it should.
The fact that your capacity chart indicates your tv is empty suggests you have not synced anything, but the fact that itunes and or the tv tells you are syncing and appears to complete tends to contradict this.
One possible reason could be that it is syncing, but syncing nothing because you have not yet selected any content to sync.
With all this in mind, can you tell us how far into setting up syncing you have got.

I rebuilt the thumbnail cache and lost all the changes and editing I had made to 4000 photos every photo reverted back to the original

A tech rebuilt my iphoto thumbnail cache and afterwards all the changes and editing of all my 4000 photos was gone!
Every phot had reverted back to the original!!!!! WHAT HAPPENED???? Why were all my changes destroyed? Where are the photos that I edited?
Also a bunch of photos disappeared. HELP!!!!!

Of course there is no reason that rebuilding a thumbnail cache would cause a loss of all editing of my photos!!! But that's what happened.
I was there when the tech rebuilt the library and thumbnails. He held down shift & command and opened Iphoto and a window appeared with "Rebuild Photo Library" with 6 boxes to check such as
1) Repair Iphoto Library Database
2) Rebuild Iphoto Library Database from automatic backup
3) Rebuild the photos' small thumbnails
4) Rebuild all the photos'thumbnails (this may take a while)
5) Recover orphaned photos in the Iphoto Library Folder
6) Examine and repair IPhotoLibrary file permissions
The tech checked all boxes and after Iphoto has rebuilt everything all my editing was gone and all my photos had reverted back to their originals representing 5 years work.
There are no stuck keys on my keyboard of my computer.

Flash CC to canvas and spreading code over several frames

I know about the relationship between flash and CreateJS, and I know that I could step away from the flash interface for A LOT of what I'm after and simply use it to create a nifty library of assets and have all my javascript as external files. That's not what I'm after (although using a text editor with proper syntax highlighting would be wonderful!). I wish to keep as much of my workflow as possible inside of the Adobe Flash CC interface.
The question comes in two parts, the second being a followup question:
1) Where I before used to save code in external as files, since now the external javascript gets created (combined) when publishing the flash project, I thought I'd better keep all my code inside of flash. Is this a mistake? I'm after ease of use and keeping my projects structured.
2) If I keep my code inside of flash I'd never nest it in movieclips. I'd keep it all on the main timeline strictly. Back in the golden flash days for decent but smaller apps I'd put general helper functions and imports on the first frame, then maybe some preloading graphics on frame 2 with minimal code for that. Finally "the app" on frame 3 with more specific code to manage the interface. This made everything load quickly and I could spread the app functionality naturally over a few frames to make it easier to visualise and manage. But exporting for canvas/javascript I can't even get code on one layer to recognise the functions on another. Do I really need to scope main timeline functions on creation to get it to work?
I'm really after basic advice on workflow and project structuring.
Thanks!

1) that's a strange question considering you prefaced it by saying you want to keep everything in flash. so yes, given that requirement (ie, you want to put everything, if possible, in flash), put all your code inside flash.
2) you need to scope everything. there's no problem (from flash/exportJS) spreading code over different frames/layers, if that's what you want to do. you probably just need to be more careful with your scoping if think code in one layer won't recognize functions in another layer. ie, in your top layer, use:
var tl = this;
// and then use tl to reference the main timeline in your functions (and elsewhere).

Actions and Input frame

I need some help on how I can implement the following:
I have a GUI with a toolbar and menu. The toolbar buttons and JMenuItems are implemented using Actions. I want one of these actions to pop up an internal frame in a desktop pane below the toolbar to collect data from the user (similar to a JFileChooser). I'm not sure how to have the frame appear. My problem is the event handling in the actions. I'm not sure how to get the action to recognize that it needs to put the frame in the desktop pane. Any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance

In the actionPerformed(ActionEvent) method of the Action, create your JInternalFrame, set it's bounds (i.e. size and position) by calling setBounds(int, int, int, int), add it to the desktop pane with the add(JInternalFrame) method and call setVisible(true) on the internal frame.

Importing pre-made menus- still frame or moving video?

I am new to DVD Studio Pro and I recently authored a DVD that required importing a pre-made menu. The file was a psd and as 640 X 480 in size and about 180 dpi. The menu showed up in my asset window as a Quicktime picture. My question is did DVD SPro somehow convert the still image menu into a moving video file? I ask this because of two reasons...1) the menu plays back as though it's "playing" -when you click the menu's play button, the menu looks for a split second as though it pauses in much the same way a moving video image would look when you "pause it. 2.) The menu does not appear sharp- the text is not crisp as you would expect a still frame to be.
Did I import the menu wrong? I imported it as an asset. I tried to import as a template but the file is "grey" in the import box and you cannot bring it in this way. Also why did it convert the psd (photoshop file) into a quicktime picture?
Thanks!

Menus (even still menus) are moving video. DVDSP will encode them to MPEG2 for the duration of your menu's loop.
Try importing a still of 720x534 (square) pixels, not the size you used, for a 4:3 NTSC menu. DVDSP will have less scaling to do, and this might result in a sharper picture.

Hello there Unicornbarf534,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you are unable to successfully install iTunes. I recommend the troubleshooting instructions in this article named:
Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926
Here is a general outline of where the troubleshooting will take you:
General installation troubleshooting
1. Empty your Temp directory and restart
2. Completely remove iTunes and related components
3. Install the latest version of iTunes
Additional troubleshooting
After performing each of the steps below, you will need to completely remove iTunes and related components and then install iTunes again to determine whether the issue is resolved.
1. Make sure you have administrator account access
2. Make sure your folder names don't contain strange characters
3. Get the latest Windows updates
4. Disable other conflicting software
Additional Information
If you only need to install QuickTime, or if iTunes installs but QuickTime installation did not complete
Try downloading and installing the standalone version of QuickTime from http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/. Be sure you download the version that does not include iTunes.
If the steps outlined in this article don't help, you may be able to find a solution to your issue by searching the Microsoft support website.
All the best,

It depends how you installed it.
If you installed from your iLife 11 DVD, then you can insert the DVD and install it again.
If you purchased it from the Mac App Store, you can open the Mac App Store, go to the Purchases tab, and reinstall from there.

Pre-Made Effects and Color Change

When I add a pre-made effect to type. How do I change the effects color? The effect Im trying to use is the underwater one. It always stays this ugly blue tint, and I need the effect to be green. Ive tried changing it in the attributes window, but it only effects the text minus the underwater effect.

Actually David, I did mean the Style tab.
You see, either way, you have to select each keyframe and then make the color change to make this fix. But instead of going to the Effects tab and having to select the ShadColor parameter each time you select a different keyframe (and then selecting a new color and confirming), you can just leave the Shadow tab open on the Style menu, select the color swatch there and pick the color you want for each key. Doing it in the Style tab saves you a few clicks each time.
About the only time I use the Effects panel is when entering parameters that don't have an interface component (such as Accelerate) or to get a quick view of what parameters are being animated.

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?

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.

Creating extensions Firefox 3.6.13: When dragging an XPI file (even pre-made), i'm always getting some error, which is not properly readable, but it says "not found" and an "ok" button.

Hi! I want to develop an extension for Firefox.
My problem is that none of the tutorials and sample which i find online work for Firefox 3.6.13 (on Mac).
When dragging an XPI file (even pre-made), i'm always getting some error, which is not properly readable, but it says "not found" and an "ok" button.
Please send me some info on how to make a "helloworld" extension installable in Firefox 3.6.13.
My email is [email protected] Thank you very much!

You can try to install the extension via File > Open File

IWeb will not Publish. The publish icon stays red and no changes are made. Please help.

The question says everything. When I click "publish site," the world icon at the top of the screen stays red (instead of whirling about and turning blue), and no changes are made. When I exit the program, it says, do you want to exit while changes are still being made?
This is confusing, since nothing seems to be uploading according to the icon. The website really needs to be updated and I welcome and appreciate any and all help. Thank you.

See this page for an axample of publishing settings...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/iWeb/Publish-Website.html
If this doesn't get things going try the second method - publishing to a local folder - to see if that works.
