HT201401 update and screen image issue

The screen only shows a negative image all the time. Like a photo negative. I also cannot update my iOs (ver 4.2.10), both my laptop and desktop timeout when trying to update iTunes and it fails.My internet connection is fine with my phone and all my other devices. Is there anything I can do that may fix these issues? Thanks.

There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
(Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico: http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie 6 as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast, for burning.
You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!

  • OS 10.4.4, iLife 6 and Background images issue

    I upgraded my Mac from 10.4.3 to 10.4.4 (with Automatic Updates) and the same day purchased and installed the iLife 6.0 package (that updated the 5.x version that came with my Mac).
    A day or 2 later I decided to change the background photos on my displays. I had been using photos from my iPhoto library and as I scrolled around looking for appropriate pictures and trying them out System Preferences quit on me. I had to restart in order to bring back the ability to alter the background images. Other programs and operations remained unaffected but I was unable to bring up the "Change Background Image" option on the contextaul menu until I restarted the computer. iPhoto was not running at the time. I restarted the computer and the same issue cropped up several more times, always after scrolling thru and trying several images.
    These problems never occurred with 10.4.3 or before or iPhoto 5 or before. I don't know if the problem is with iPhoto or not, but I assume that there is interaction between System Preferences and iPhoto, or at least that System Preferences uses the iPhoto database files.
    Any ideas?
    TIA!

    (I thought the hardware listing was posted with the thread...)
    Hardware:
    PM G5 Dual 2.7, 2.5GB RAM, ATI Radeon 9650 with 256 MB VRAM, and 2 LCD Cinema Displays (1 23 In and the other 20 Inch). Both Cinema Displays are set to the maximum resolution (1920x1200 and 1680x1050).

  • 10.5.6 Update and External Monitor issues

    I'm starting this new Thread in response to several people like myself who still cannot use an external monitor with a Macbook on this latest update. I did write to Steve Jobs about this issue and I received a call from Ireland assuring me that the graphics update would be incorporated into the new upgrade before Christmas. It clearly hasn't and, in the meantime, I replaced my hard-disk with a 320 Gb and installed Leopard up to 10.5.4 and was back in business. Now, I'm back to square one and can't use the monitor. So I will be writing to Mr Jobs again in the hope that someone takes notice that some of use Macs in a professional capacity. We're in a deep recession and the last thing we need right now are silly issues of this nature.

    I'm not sure what to make of this at this point. I ordered a CTO 2.8GHz with 4GB RAM and 320GB HD the day they were announced. First week or so, few if any problems. Then the "UHF" like bands of static began to appear randomly. I use my computer 90% of the time driving an external monitor. I use a separate set up at home and work with duplicates of all cables. The problem occurs on both. I spoke with Apple Care - they patched me over to support and moved me up to Tier one pretty quick, even had me send in my System Profiler information for every combination of screen and graphics card. Then they emailed me a program to capture my monitor info again with every combination of screen and graphics card. No solution. They finally asked to "capture" my computer for their labs and sent me a new one.
    Once again, about 2 1/2 weeks of smooth sailing and bam, same issues now occurring. If it's a driver issue, why is everything fine for so long? Also, 10.5.6 and the new firmware have failed to address. Given my above exchanges with Apple, they certainly can't claim they don't know about it.
    I've been using Apple Products for a long time. I've seen some real buggy stuff - like when File Vault first came out but this is the worst I've experienced. Seems like poor quality control. If it's a select few machines, I appear to have won the lottery as I've had two of them.
    I'm sure this issue is much more wide spread as it is a non-issue if you only use the internal display. Only people consistently driving an external display will even know there is a problem.

  • DVD Quality and Screen Image Size Issue

    When I export an iPhoto slide show to a QuickTime movie (.mov), the result is a beautiful, high quality full screen movie, when played on my iMac. When I use that same slide show in iDVD, and burn a DVD, the quality of the slide show is not as sharp and it is not full screen. Are there some settings I can use to correct this? Is there a later version of iDVD that would correct this? Or is there some non-Apple software that will do a better job? Thanks.

  • Purchased new camera nikon d7100 and camera raw will not open any nef files, talked to tech support and they assured me an update would fix issue, did update and have  same issue still

    I have photoshop cs5 and after purchasing a nikon d7100, photoshop will not open any of the nef files like it did with my nikon d90, I contacted support and they assured me after update that issue would be resolved...still not resolved, any suggestions?

    Good day!
    Please check this list to see which version of ACR supports the camera:
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Then please check your version (Photoshop > About Plug-In > Camera Raw).
    As you should see your version is not up to the task.
    You can either buy a license for a more current version of Photoshop (CS6 is still available) or switch to the … Cloud License model or use the free DNG Converter.

  • Mountain Lion, ARD Admin, and Screen Share Issue

    We recently upgraded one of our Labs to OSX 10.8.2.  The guy who teachs in that Lab then brought to my attention that he can no longer share his screen with computers in the Lab which are not logged in.  If the machine is sitting at the Login screen he cannot share to them until after the students login. Control works fine through ARD, but not sharing.  All clients have ARD version 3.6.2 installed.  ARD Admin is version 3.6.1 and I can replicate in other buildings/locations.
    Attempts to share with a 10.8.2 machine (one or many) which don't have anyone logged in will by all indications in ARD look like the sharing is happening on the Administrator machine, but you can visually see the screen is still sitting at the login prompt.  The display on the machine to be controlled flashes for a second when the Admin clicks Share and it flashes again when the Admin unshares their screen.  The same test run against a 10.6.8 client(still have a group in th next lab over) doesn't have the same problem.
    My initial thought was this may be some sort of feature, but I don't see any where to turn it off. I've searched around, but I don't think I'm searching with the right terms for this issue. Any thoughts?

    I've never been able to share my screen to computers that no one was logged in on; and i've been using ARD sense Mac OS X 10.4. I'm not saying it hasn't been possible; I've just never been able to get a computer to do that.
    My work around is use send unix command as user root. I have a unix script that basicaly triggures and applescript to type a user / pass to login of a generic account. it takes about a minute to run. and if some one is logged in, it dosen't do any thing to that computer.
    Heck it can even be set to be the default send unix command. so all the the user has to do is select all computers, click send unix, and click send.
    Some thing like this:
    if [[ "$(who | grep console)" == "" ]]; then osascript -e '
    tell application "System Events"
    keystroke return
    keystroke "a" using command down
    keystroke "PASSWORD"
    keystroke tab
    keystorke "a" using command down
    keystroke "USERNAME"
    keystroke return
    keystroke return
    keystroke return
    end tell';

  • Safari-Netflix-and Screen Saver Issues

    Finally Safari will allow me to watch Netflix, however, my screen saver is set to 5 minutes, and Safari does not know I am watching a movie. Oh yea you say, just change the screen saver, well, i get tired of that, and remember I have to set it back the next day or have my screen constantly burn in, and besides, Mozilla does NOT have this problem. If Safari programers are reading this, know, Safari has been lacking and behind advancements by about 3 years since its introduction, please spend the money and time and get it ahead of the ball, get it competitive. Make Skype numbers dial-able in Safari, Make a separate Refresh button so we can place it next to the navigation buttons where it belongs, Make my screensaver know that I am watching Netflix, all this is NOW available in Mozilla, and I am having to go back there, till Safari can grow up and compete.

    Hi ellaine,
    Lets check your energy saver settings:
    About Energy Saver sleep and idle modes in Mac OS X
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2412
    Regarding your second question, it may be that your display is set to sleep before the screen saver starts. That would cause the screen saver to never display.
    Thanks,

  • Maverick update and screen reflexions

    Hello,
    Since I bought my MacBook Pro Retina 15" (December 2012) I have never noticed problems with my screen as those that were reported it early with the update of Macbook pro related with LG or Samsung screen. Now that I update to Mavericks I notice the reflex of previous page just when I am about to turn off or when I load a new one. Do you notice that on you computer? or it is something that Apple have to fix later

  • Neo2 defaut FSB frequency , live update and core center issues

    Hi,
    This is the point : i bought a brand new 915P Neo2 last week,
    out of the box results : Windows XP SP2 install is OK right
    now, Graphics Card is working properly but the system is
    still unstable !
     --> I decided to install MSI core center but while running
      pc freezes !
    ---> tested MSI live update, packets download is working
     but the tool is still unstable and pc freezes .... while testing system...
    ---> tested a small utility (third party) from intel website
    to compute P4 target and actual frequency
    this tool reports that my p4 is running at 3.24 Ghz,
    I double checked and found that defaut FSB was set to 810 Mhz
    even after hardreset and bios safe mode, CPU is running at 203 Mhz * 16 = 3248 Mhz
    I really dont understand why reset value has been set to 203 Mhz ?? why not 200 Mhz
    so MSI 915 P  defaut setting is 1 % overclocking strategy ?
    the bios setup is not really taken into account ??
    have you ever pointed out this problem with defaut frequency ? is this a problem ?
    what is your opinion regarding MSI utilities ?
    I have a lot of random pc freezes, too many for this board !
    all advices are welcome !!

    I don't usually recommend bios updates, but you should seriously consider it if you can get the board to run stable.
    Test your ram with  Memtest86. This should give you an indication if you can do a flash from DOS, plus it will test the ram for you.
    Try setting your FSB to 201. On the 865/875 boards that will hold the setting. 203 is typical of MSI and other manufacturers, but it really isn't high enough to be considered overclocking, and certainly isn't high enough to cause problems. But it keeps them in the race with the others when the reviewer's determine which board is best by looking at the decimal places.
    You don't list your power supply data. Power and ram are the usual culprits, with heat being another.

  • Imac freezing up and screen dissolve issues

    Hi all,
    My imac intel keeps freezing up for no reason and then won't let you force quit anything.
    It still seems to do things in the background like import cds to itunes and download items.
    Sometimes it also freezes and then the screen slowly dissolves to bright white and then restarts itself.
    Has anyone come across this before.
    The imac is about 6 years old.
    Thanks in advance.

    If your Mac ame with an Install Sisc, AHT hw test should be on one of them.
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.

  • Updated to 7.0 Can't send print-screen image and o...

    after upgraded to 7.0, I can't send the print screen image by Ctrl-V into the message box.
    I can send only text by Ctrl-V now...

    2 issues
    1. ALT + PRT + SCR PTR to capture a screen print and the CTRL + V into the chatbox still works but the receiving party since 1 or 2 days seems to receive blurry images. These images are so blurry that they become unreadable. I understand that i can sent images with file transfer, but when you do this 100 times per day this requires me to first open an image editor, save the image, then click on file transfer, find the image and press send. So this blurry variant that is sent now is really an issue for me.
    2. from time to time, files that are sent simpy do not arrive on the other side. So i can be speaking to the other side but the image randomly simply doesn't arrive. This issue comes and goes and it affects file transfers and pasted images into the chat.
