How do I access the images within a .chat or .ichat archive file?

Looks like Messages in Mavericks has lost the ability to view images within archived .chat and .ichat files. Does anyone have any idea how to view or extract the image from those files, either within Messages or via another program?

Hi,
I have found that if a chat is "Open" in the Messages window but is not the front chat then when selected the pics have become file markers.
Double Clicking them opens then in Quick Look.
I have opened one in TextEdit.
I can see where the pic is supposed to be:-

The bit at the end refers to a wrapper and the fact it seems to be a .png file
The section of chat looks like this
However as you know the pic does not show.
I have not been paying much attention to the Add-ons for Messages (or late iChat) that may help in some way.

  • How do I read the images I bundled into the jar file?

    I just wrote an applet that uses
         Toolkit tk = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
         tk.getImage("blah.gif");to load a bunch of image files. The class file and gif images were bundled into a jar file to minimize the number of connections the browser has to make to the server.
    The applet works fine in appletviewer but trips a java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.io.FilePermission select.gif read) when run in a browser. I know you normally use Applet.getImage(URL) to load images but wont that circumvent the JAR file and make a seperate connection to the server for each image? That would defeat the purpose of using a JAR file.
    How do I access the image files I bundled into the JAR file?

    From your Applet class, write the following:
    URL imgUrl = getClass().getResource("blah.gif");
    Image img = getImage(imgUrl);The returned URL will be from the Applet class ClassLoader, which will look into the specified archive (jar) file.

  • How do I resize an image within a drop zone (not the drop zone itself) in motion 5?

    How do I resize an image within a drop zone (not the drop zone itself) in motion 5?

    I think others would be able to help if you describe a little more why you'd like to do this. Given that drop zones are a way of passing images into Motion that you want to manipulate, resizing a drop zone is the equivalent of resizing the image.
    If you're having a problem with an image from Final Cut being too big or too small, select the Drop Zone in the inspector and make sure the Fit parameter is set to 'Fit' - 'Center' will result in images dropped not being scaled to fit the Drop Zone. 'Stretch' will force the dropped image to fill the space defined by the drop zone,
    If the image is already cropped and scaled up in Final Cut Pro, that is the information that Motion gets - you can't scale down the image to see more of the edges that have been cropped off.
    If you want more than one copy of the image passed via the drop zone, use Make Clone Layer from the Object menu.

  • If I own Photoshop Elements 5.0 on an old computer without internet access, how do I open the image

    If I have Photoshop Elements 5.0 on an old computer without internet access, how can I open the image I created so I can print it?  The new computer with internet is not the one I have registered the Photoshop product.
    Thanks.
    Eddie

    Hi eddie
      If you saved the image on the old computer as a project or a PSD file it will only open in Elements. The best thing to do is make another copy and then transfer it to the flash drive.
    If you open the saved collage in the PSE5 Editor you can click the top menu Layer à Flatten Image
    Then click File à Save As and choose jpeg.
    Copy the jpeg to the flash drive and then plug it into the new computer and drag the jpeg collage to Pictures or another folder.

  • How do I set the image size in PS touch to print to my Epson printer w ithout losing any of the picture. PS Touch appears to be showing pixels and not inches, how can I covert it toshow inches?

    I am using PS Touch from my tablet . I am importinga photo from an SD card . When all editing is completed I then send it wireless from the tablet  via Epson I print to the printer. It all works great except that part of the photo at each end is cut off and does not print. I am printing on 8.5 x11 paper.
    How do I convert the image size in PSTouch frm pixels to inches?

    Epson's iPrint has always been an oddball. It will always "zoom in" on an image to print even if you have the proper dimensions and resolution set for actual print size. I think other users have reported this, at least on Android.
    You can't have PS Touch show inches instead of pixels at this time but you can use an online website to find out what you need to fit within a particular resolution. (Google "pixels to inches calculator".)

  • How do I access the data saved on my time capsule?  for example, if i try to view my photos it tells me that i have 2.4gb of photos and gives me the option to "view with iPhoto"....but when i click on "view with iPhoto" nothing happens...  thanks!

    how do i access the data stored on my time capsule?  for example, if i try to view a photo, i get the option to "view with iphoto" but when i click on "view with iphoto" nothing happens.  i'm having similar trouble openning up movies, music, etc.  it appears as though the files exist / saved on the time capsule (because i can see how much storage they consume), but i can't open them.  thanks!

    Unfortunately, Apple removed the feature to "browse backups" in Time Machine backups of iPhoto a few years ago.
    You have to restore the entire iPhoto library to a separate location to be able to "see" it, and then choose the specific images that you want use.
    For complete details, see #15 in Pondini's excellent support document Time Machine -- FAQ.  Check the information in the pink box there.

    HI,
    Since webdynpros follows Model View Controller Architecture You can access EJBs in webdynpro(views/frontend) infact to connec to database uding JDBC you have to utilise EJB ( opening connection to database closing, and other Business functionality).See this link

  • How do I access the name of the file stored in a custom attribute?

    I have created a custom attribute based on a file type and am using it in a custom page type. However, the value stored in wwsbr_folder_attributes is a sequential number rather than the name of the jpg file entered into the attribute. How do I access the true filename, as this seems to be what I need in order to reference it in an <IMG SRC=> tag?

    Hi Francis -
    You should be able to use this relatively use this sequential number in an image tag in the following way:
    <img border="0" src="docs/1/211800.GIF" width="470" height="108">
    Hope this helps,

  • How does one access their images in their libraries in Desktop Adobe Photoshop that are connected to their Mobile Adobe Shape?

    So
    I have Adobe Shape on my iphone, and in my Creative Cloud on the web it can access the images ive made. BUT, these images wont show up in my library on Photoshop on my computer and i cant seem to save them from the creative cloud on the web.
    How does one get from A to B?
    Thankyou
    Victoria

    Hi Victoria and welcome to the forum.
    I had to Google Shape but it looks interesting, and dies use the CC Libraries.  I am a big fan of CC Libraries, but have only used them between apps on the same machine.  So it is just a matter of see how they work between different systems
    Illustrator Help | Creative Cloud libraries - collaborate, sync, and share assets
    In my experience, I simply drag an asset onto the Library in one app, and it is there in my other apps.  But I have to make sure I am looking at the same library name on both computers.  Now I have been confused over syncing before, but I suspect that if you open the Application Manager and click on the little Cog icon, and in the Files tab make sure Sync is checked.  Otherwise you might as well read the help files.

    Good luck

    I previously uploaded images onto my desktop to work on in Lightroom 5.2. I worked on a few of the images days ago and just now getting back to them. My problem is I can only access the images I previously worked on and all the rest it says images not available but all the images are still right on my desktop.

    ... and all the rest it says images not available
    Normally this happens because you moved, renamed or deleted these photos (or the folders that contain them) outside of Lightroom. This is how to fix the problem: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders

  • My macbook pro crashed after installing maverick. I lost all my photos however the iPhone iPhoto app still has these photos so how can i access the package contents to recover these photos?

    My macbook pro crashed after installing maverick. I lost all my photos however the iPhone iPhoto app still has these photos so how can i access the package contents to recover these photos?

    We'll need to know more to beable to help. Do you want to try to restore your photos from your iPhone to your Mac, or try to recover the photos from the old iPhoto Library on your Mac?
    What is the situation of your Mac now? In hat way did it crash? A hardware problem with the drive? Does the system not start properly? Does iPhoto not launch? Do you still have the iPhoto Library on your mac or a backup, so we could try to rescue the photos there?
    What versions of iPhoto are on your iPhone and your Mac?
    however the iPhone iPhoto app still has these photos so how can i access the package contents to recover these photos?
    On the iPhone you cannot access the "package contents" - IOS hides the file system from the users. To restore photos from your phone share all iPhoto photos to your Camera Roll, that are not already in the Camera Roll,  and then connect the iPhone via USB and import the Camera Roll to iPhoto or Image Capture. Or use any of the other sharing methods described on thos manual page: see:  Ways to share photos http://help.apple.com/iphoto/iphone/2.0/?handbuch#blnk7d8f763e
    To retrieve photos from a corruptrd iPhoto Library on your Mac we need to know the version number and more about the "crash" you experienced, the state of your mac, the system, the data. Please post back with more details.

  • ONCE i made a photo project how do I access the original photos?

    once we make a photo project  how do I access the original photos?

    Do you mean to upload or use in another app or some such?
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.    3.b.
    b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • How do I access the web utility with model cisco sf302-08p ?

    Hi,i have a problem with the model Cisco SB SF302-08PP Switch , i connect a cable rj45 to my pc and configure the adapter local area connection (ip address:192.168.1.252), the LEDs blink green, and go to the address bar and get the IP by default, which according to the manual is 192.168.1.254 and the result is: page not found.
