How come the backgrounds don't work in photobooth?

I tried using the backgrounds for photo booth, and my picture always turns out really distorted, what should I do?

What exactly is happening? Does the background work, then disappears as soon as you get in frame or is removes the wrong parts of the image, or is it something else?
Because if it's that (which is a problem some people have had), I think it could be the auto exposure on the camera screwing up the background. All it's doing is comparing the pixels before and after, and if the exposure changes on the iSight camera (also if the background and foreground images are too similar), it will ruin the effect (which is why all the demos of backgrounds were done in professionally-lit environments).
If that's not what the problem was, I'm not really sure.

Impossible to even guess when all you say is "don't work". Provide full details - I'd suggest posting in the "Using iPad" rather than in this forum which is for people using iPads in large organizations - and then perhaps someone can offer suggestions.

How come querystring variables don't work with Flash Slide Presentations

How come querystring variables don't work with Flash Slide
Presentations
When I create a regular new Flash FLA and publish it I can
add a querystring to the file name in the object tag and get that
value back in the flash move like this:
myflashfile.swf?myname=andrew
But when I try the same thing using a new Flash Slide
Presentation with screen, it doesn't work.
Is there something I'm missing that I'm not aware of or does
the Flash Slide Presentation not support the use of querystrings?
I have tried this using a mix of PC and Mac with MX2004 Pro
and Flash 8 Pro.
Any reference links or ideas are much appreciated.
Thanks,
Andrew

How come the numeric keypad only works in log-in and not in normal progs?

I've searched this forum for all things numeric keypad related and come up blank on this problem so I'm putting this question out there for anyone else who knows the answer.
The numeric keypad on my iMacs only work it seems in typing in numbers in the password box at log-in, but in any other program, including Safari, I get nothing when I push those keys. Why is this and how can it be easily corrected with or preferably without the use of strange hacks if this is not some kind of missed setting? This one really bothers me. Why have a keypad at all if it isn't useful the majority of the time? I find the same problem on the Aluminum and plastic, wired, and wireless versions of the keyboard. If Apple didn't intend us to use the keypad in substitute for the number keys whenever we feel like it, wouldn't it make more sense to downsize the keyboards and sell them without one? The keypad only seems to work when set for use as a mouse-substitute, and nothing else.

It's strange that it doesn't work on my desktops, but it works fine on my MacBook (but of course I have to use the f(x) key to make it work on that because it isn't really a separate keypad).
Does anyone have any idea what settings under Tiger could cause the keypad not to function? It seems the problem is Tiger-related as the Leopard desktops don't exhibit the same problem.. Which keyboard is connected and by what method does not seem to make a difference.

How come the same script only works in one form?

I made a checkbox that when checked it makes another subform visible. The script works perfect in one pdf. When I used the same script in another pdf (except I changed the variables of course) it doesn't work??????
It's set the same in both scripts. The subform name is exactly "CR" in uppercase. In the Events its set to click*, javascript at the client. Here is the script. Please let me know what's wrong????
if (this.rawValue == 1)
CR.presence = "visible";
else
CR.presence = "hidden";

You have to have the object referenced correctly and that can include subform and section information.

Ned, thanks for responding. Internet access is not the problem, I will have a tower computer connected to Comcast.
Isolating the laptop from the internet is the issue.

I'm trying to get a public link to my pdf file? I tried the system's process and the links don't work

I'm trying to get a public link to my pdf file? I tried the system's process and the links don't work. I can't even copy the links I have to write them down and then enter them. Is anyone else having this problem. I've seen this question a couple times with no replies.

Hi mariondouglas,
Do I understand correctly that you've used Send to send a file that you've uploaded to Acrobat.com? What happens when you send to your own email address? Are you able to click the link in that email, and access the file that way?
If you're unable to copy the email in the browser window after you've generated a public link, please clear the browser cache, and try again. Or, use a different web browser (for a list of supported browsers, see System requirements | Acrobat.com).
Please let us know how it goes.

cc2014,
Have you selected an image?
Unless a good explanation appears, you may start onthe list below.
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

How does the Mac App Store work?!

Hey guys i recently posted this quesiton in a different area of the community but instead of being helped was just ridiculed for posting in the wrong place... +1 for helpfulness guys :/ lol Anyways... ive been told to ask in the development section.. I have a $9.99 app and it was sitting at 10th place in the top grossing apps a few weeks ago on the UK app store, now I noticed in the morning that it was ahead of an app which was 49.99 so i presumed that I must have sold at least 5 or 6 to be ahead of him (my idea of top grossing is quantity x price) but when itunesconnect released their reports in the afternoon it turned out that i'd only sold 1 copy.. so what im asking is basically how does the top grossing section work? and how regularly does it update? is it live? daily? etc
Thanks in advance!

Your rank is better than the other app because you've made a sale while they've made none. When you make a sale, you jump in the charts, and after that you slowly go down if you don't make another sale. In other words, the bottom of the charts has many apps that didn't make any sale recently. I've also noticed that if you make some sales in other countries than the current chart, that'll very slightly improve your rank.

When I email a newsletter as a pdf, the links don't work

I am creating a newsletter that I want to email out and I have some text linking to webpages. However, when I send it as a pdf, the links don't work. Do I need to send it as a Word document? I don't want to have to send a document that large. Is there anyway to keep my file size small (ie pdf) and have the links work?
Thanks

Ah that is different.
It may be you are just seeing a preview of the pdf in the email, which is why the link is not working.
I would certainly not rely on people seeing even that. Most PC users do not see pdfs embedded in their email, just an attachment. Even Mac users see various results depending on how many pages the pdf contains.
I am working on newsletter emails for a client right now and the lack of standards and inconsistent results in email clients is extremely frustrating.

I have 10.3.1, how come the CD's I burn won't play in my vehicle?

I have itunes 10.3.1, how come the CD's I burn won't play in my vehicle?

I have been having issues with edited tracks from Toast/CD Spin Doctor that I send to my iTunes library, so that I might burn them onto a CD at a later date.
For example, when I try to hear my 3:42 edited track of a tune I had just sent over from Spin Doctor to iTunes, instead of hearing 3:42 of the "edited track", I only hear the first 3:42 of the raw "unedited" track. In other words, if my raw Spin Doctor file had 20 seconds of silence before the track started, I would hear that first 20 seconds in my iTunes file instead of the edited file.
Personally, I think Apple needs to allow us Mac users to have a "download previous version" option when serious bugs like this appear on the updates. Seems they give Windows users links to older versions, but for us Mac users, they make it hard for us to easily find older versions. I feel like I'm being held hostage waiting for the next version, or patch.
And when I try to report the issue to Apple, when I go to the "What version of iTunes are you using?", they still don't have version 10.3 listed in their pulldown menus (as of 7/7/11).
If you want me to plunk down money for Lion, then you better get my iTunes back to where I could use it again.
Sorry for the rant, I've been in a major vinyl transfer-to-CD groove in the last month, and this just ruins my momentum. Apple has really disappointed me.

How does the LCM rollback feature work in theory?

Hi
How does the LCM rollback feature work in theory?
Let's say
1. I've Webi report 'x' in QA system
2. I promote a modified version of webi report 'x' from DEV to QA using LCM. So now I've 'x1' in QA.
3. I "rollback" this promotion job in LCM. Which means I've get back 'x' in QA system.
So does this mean that LCM kept a "backup" copy of 'x' in QA (CMS+filestore file backup) before overwriting with the promoted 'x1' from DEV?
If yes, does it clear the 'x' anytime from QA? (maybe after second iteration of 'x2'?)
Thanks

I own the movies and I want them to stay in my iTunes library basically forever.
But in both cases the file name no longer shows in the movie list, so I don't know how to re-download it from the Cloud.
iTunes prefs > Store > Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.
This will show all your iTunes purchases in your library with a cloud icon down arrow. Click the icon to redownload or click on Play to stream without downloading.
Also see this , -> Download past purchases
and techncially, you don't "own" the movie, You simply have a license to use it.
Yet the first thing iTunes does when you hit the delete key is tell you that it will remove the movie forever from all devices and the library.
Actually, no it does not tell you that.
FYI: You should keep copies of all yoru iTnue spurahses as the labels/movie studios/copyright owners can pull their product at anytime and it won't be available to redownload.
