Icons display as dotted line box

My first post to the community. Please be gentle.
When I access my Documents or Downloads folder from the dock, the individual files are displayed as a dotted line box rather than the icon preview of the file. If I access the Documents or Downloads folder using Finder, the icons display as expected (miniature version of the picture, .pdf, document, etc). For the life of me, I can't figure out why this is or how to correct it.
Not a big issue, but it is really bugging me that I can't figure it out. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi
Once you define the relation ship goto ppos_old and see the structure. After you got the structure of the org unit then click on the staff assignments and look for the position to which you have specified the relation. And go for the reporting structure under the main menu-> Goto-> Reporting structure then you can see the relation ship between the persons but you wont see it as a dotted line its normal line which you can see.

I can't see my photos! They appear as dotted lines in a square shape.

when i click on my library or any of the subfolders, most of my photos aren't showing up. i know the image is still there, but i can't see it. instead of a thumbnail pix, there is just a white dotted line in the shape of a square where the pix should be and it's title displayed under it.
when i double click on the dotted line box, and it brings it up big in the 'edit' box, there is an ! in the middle of the dotted line square. i tried updating the iphoto version to 6 and that seemed to work fine, but still most of my pix aren't showing up.
maybe 5% of my pix are still showing up, inner mixed with the 95% that have become dotted lines.
help!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
The ! or ? turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
If this fails then it is likely that you have a damaged database file.
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
Regards
TD
The most common cause of this is User Activity in the iPhoto Library Folder in the Finder.
Have you altered, moved or renamed anything in the iPhoto Library Folder?

IPhoto 6-photo are gone, just dotted lines. info is still there.

I was working on macbook pro on airplane with an external HD where my iPhoto library is kept. My battery ran out so I closed the laptop and disconnected the ext. HD until I got home. After turning on the laptop at home, the computer opened up to iPhoto still open and images showing. Only I had forgotten to connect the ext. HD yet. I believe I closed the program and connected the ext. HD and reopened iPhoto. This time all the photo images were not displayed, only dotted lines where they would have been. This was true for the thumbnail and the large image. The info box still showed the correct file name and size etc. but no image. What happened and how do I fix this? I did go to the finder and iphoto library and found that I could see the images there, so they shouldn't be gone. Just need to know what to do so iphoto can see them all. Thanks
Jon

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
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.

I've got dotted lines round my flash objects

Hello - if anyone could help me with something, I'd be
eternally grateful!
I'm building a website with Dreamweaver, and it's got several
flash elements, like buttons and pictures.
When I preview the site on my BT browser, everything looks
great - but when I preview it on my IE browser, it's a mess.
When I hover over a flash element, a box of dotted lines
appears around the flash object, and the words "click to activate
and use the control" appear.
When I then click on the object, the box disappears, and I
can then use the buttons etc.
My dreamweaver site is made with tables. The dotted-line box
surrounds the CELL that the flash object is in, rather than the
flash object itself.
I've no idea what this is, or why it only happens in my IE
browser and not my BT one. If anyone can give me some pointers, I'd
be very grateful. At this rate, I'm going to be at my PC all
Christmas Day!
Thanks in advance

From an identical question in this forum about 12 hours
ago...
It's IE-only behaviour as a result of changes Microsoft made
earlier this
year to their browser, regarding how Active Content (Flash,
Quicktime etc)
is handled, after losing a high profile court case.
http://blog.deconcept.com/2005/12/15/internet-explorer-eolas-changes-and-the-flash-plugin/
Background:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eolas
See also
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/activecontent/
If you're running Dreamweaver 8.0.2, the fix is already built
into DW's
interface.
If not, try
http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/
Using the <embed> tag in the HTML code to "embed" the
Flash file in the page
(which used to be the normal way of doing it) triggers the
new IE behaviour.
The 8.0.2 updater calls the same Flash file via Javascript
instead so the
new IE behaviour is not triggered..
Once the updater has been applied you upload the changed HTML
page PLUS the
new Scripts folder, containing a Javascript file, which has
just been
created by the 8.0.2 updater.
Note: DW 8.0.2 does not tell you anything about the existence
of, and need
to upload, the new Scripts folder that it has just created.
You're just
expected to know (or find out). Lazy programming by Adobe.

Non-appearance of Dotted borders aroundthe dotted line positionorgchart box

Dear Experts
Non-appearance of Dotted borders around the dotted line position orgchart box
In the Nakisa 3.0u2019s Org Chart main view, Dotted borders around the org chart box to identify positions with dotted-line relationships is not appearing. In the Position Hierarchy also, the Dotted line u2013 Org units details are not appearing even though the std. ZNG relationship data has been maintained.
Whereas, The position to position dotted line reporting details are appearing in the structure tab under u2018Dotted Line - Reports Tou2019 block as the 005 relationship data are maintained.
Configurations done in the Admin Console:
In the Admin console under u2018General Settingsu2019 configuration of Organization structure, in the u2018Dotted Relationship Filteru2019 we have configured as u201C IsDotted = 'TRUE' u201C. Whereas the fields u2013 u2018Child Exists Filteru2019, u2018Parent Description Fieldu2019, u2018Assistant Filteru2019 are all left BLANK. All other fields are respective default values.
Similarly, In the Admin console under u2018General Settingsu2019 configuration of Position under the Organization structure, in the u2018Dotted Relationship Filteru2019 we have configured as u201C IsDotted = 'TRUE' u201C. u2018Hierarchy Parent Fieldu2019 = ISDOTTEDORGUNIT. All other fields are respective default values.
Kindly suggest the solution for displaying the Dotted borders around the org chart box to identify positions with dotted-line relationships. (Note:- relevant ZNG relationship data is already maintained).

How do I get rid of the dotted line on right side of bounding box

Ever since I upgraded to CS5, I seem to have a broken dotted line along the right side of the bounding box of the png logo that was created for my company. It wasn't there before. I've gone back to my original back up of the logo and this broken line is in all the versions now.
Whenever I use the artwork a single dash/dotted line is left on the far right, where the right vertical line of the bounding box would have been. You can see it in the image below on the right. Its a faint white line but when printed on a banner its stark white. The line falls just above the last "A" in Alberta.
I can use Illustrator and Photoshop basics and but have trouble when I get into problems like this.
Can anyone help me figure out why its there and how to get rid of it?
I would appreciate any help!
Thanks.

Wade and Monica,
Thanks for your help.
Wade, it hit me when you asked "why is it a png" file and I realized that I was using the wrong file. Sometimes its hard to see the forest for the trees! Problem for banner artwork fixed and I have now used the correct logo file so no more dotted line.
The dotted line only appears on the the png version of the logo. There's no coloured background on the logo file. She gave me the file as both an eps and a png file. I'm pretty sure she created the logo in Illustrator. I've been using the png file for the website, which is what I thought it worked well for. And the eps one for my print materials.
I have no clue why I grabbed the png instead of the eps logo file I usually use, but thanks for pointing out the obvious since I wasted time trying to fix it and was getting very frustrated at what had suddenly gone "wrong".
I still have that dotted line on the png file of the logo but I'll have to figure that out another day.
Thanks again!
Hasmi

Horizontal black/dotted lines on Apple Studio Display

As of about six hours ago, my screen is suddenly showing several horizontal 1px thick lines at the top of the screen; they are usually black but sometimes change to alternating black and white dotted line when a window is moved around in the area they're covering. They were not there this morning when I used the computer, they just showed up without warning. I've restarted the system to no avail; any suggestions on next steps or ideas of what might be going on here?

Hi bogisan
To clarify, I mentioned in my original post that I'd tested with DV and got the same problem...
dewshi wrote:
Actually, it shows the same issue displaying DV-PAL!
Although I'm working with ProRes, I have already experimented with playing out DV on a DV timeline, which should be less demanding than ProRes, as you're suggesting.
It doesn't look to me like the familiar cheese-grater artefact associated with interlacing issue as there's only one break in the image, rather than mismatching alternative lines when there is horizontal motion. I've tried different sequence settings for the field order, with no difference.
I'm wondering if the display is out of sync? It literally looks like the screen has been sliced by a razor 1/3 of the way down, and the bottom part is a different frame to the top. It happens when I scrub through the timeline too, but stabilises once parked on single frame.
By the way, I've also checked that the MBP has switched to the NVIDIA card rather than the slower, less energy consuming Intel video card.
Will check out the MBP forum too...
Thanks

Thumbnails appear as a white box with dotted line -WHY?

My library is still intact, however, my thumbnails are appearing as a white box with a gray dotted line. If I click on the box to open them, then they are there. I took my computer into an Apple store 2 days ago, they reset the computer and it was working fine. however, once again, I am having the same problem. How do I reset the computer to fix this problem and why does this keep happening?

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose the top three options.

How would you read in each line of data and display them to message box?

How would you read in each line of data from the _.txt file_ and display the whole data using an information-type message box?
I know how to display each line of the .txt file data, but I do not know how to display the whole thing.
Here is how I did to display each line of data using the message box:
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;          // Needed for the JOptionPane class
import java.io.*;                         // Needed for file classes
public class problem3
     public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
          String filename;          // Needed to read the file
          String categories;          // Needed to read the categories
          // Get the filename.
          filename = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter the filname.");
          // Open the file.
          FileReader freader = new FileReader(filename);
          BufferedReader inputFile = new BufferedReader(freader);
          // Read the categories from the file.
          categories = inputFile.readLine();
          // If a category was read, display it and
          // read the remainig categories.
          while(categories != null)
               // Display the last category read.
               JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(categories);
               // Read the next category.
               categories = inputFile.readLine();
          // Close the file.
          inputFile.close();
}I think I need to change here:
// If a category was read, display it and
          // read the remainig categories.
          while(categories != null)
               // Display the last category read.
               JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(categories);
               // Read the next category.
               categories = inputFile.readLine();
          }but I don't know how to.
Could you please help me?
Thank you.

First thing's first though: You do recognize that "read a bunch of lines and display them in a textbox" has a few distinct and completely independent parts, right?I'm sorry. I'm not good at English, so I do not understand what you said...
What I was trying to say is "How to display the whole lines of .txt file in single dialog box."We know that.
Do you understand that any problem can be broken down into smaller pieces?
Do you understand that your problem has the following pieces?
1. Read lines from the file.
2. Put the lines together into one String.
3. Put the String into the message box.
and maybe
4. Make sure the message box contents are split into lines exactly as the file was.
(You didn't make it clear if that last one is a requirement.)
Do you understand that 1-4 are completely independent problems and can be solved separately from each other?
Do you understand that you have stated that you already know how to do 1 and 3?
Therefore, you are NOT asking "How to display the whole lines of .txt file in single dialog box." Rather, you ARE asking either #2 or #4 or both.
If you say once more "display all the lines of the file in one dialog box," then it is clear that we are unable to communicate with you and we cannot help you.

Running iphoto 6.06 some of my images have been replaced by a grey box with a dotted line? How can I rectify this?

Hi I have about 2% of my library replaced by a grey background with a dotted lined box where the image should be?
Any ideas why or how to return my images?

I too have no use for the new Photos. Trying to sort through 6,000+ photos by dates (some that are incorrect) was very time consuming. I was looking for a way to reinstall iPhoto from my Time Capsule because I thought that Apple had done away with iPhoto on my computer. I found this bit of information. I now have iPhoto back and am not wasting time trying to find photos anymore. (No I did not have them sorted into albums because I found the Event sort to be perfect for me and those were my 'albums'.) I don't know anything about the $3.99 a month. However, I do not put my photos in iCloud and did not transfer my library to iCloud when it asked me. Hope this helps.
Using iPhoto and Aperture after you migrate to Photos
iPhoto — and Aperture, if you downloaded it — remains on your system in the Applications folder, and you can continue to use it. If you open iPhoto or Aperture after you upgrade to Photos, you’ll be asked if you want to open your library there or in Photos.
Any changes or edits you make in iPhoto or Aperture aren't reflected in Photos. And any changes or edits you make in Photos will not be reflected in iPhoto or Aperture.

Make the highlight bold when tabbing through items on page instead of tiny faint dotted line

When you tab around within a page (i.e. with the Tab key) and things such as links get highlighted they are only indicated with an extremely thin faint dotted line. Is there a way to make the highlighting more prominent such as a thicker line or light shading of the boxed-in area?
I don't even know what words to use for this in order to search for an add-on. What do you call it when you click on Tab to move the selection from one item on a page to the next? Highlighting? I don't think it's the cursor because the cursor is for typing words, right? I'm not talking about switching from one page or FF tab to another. I'm talking about when you move the selection (??) from one link to the next within a single page and then you can hit Enter which is like clicking on the highlighted link.

You can set the browser.display.focus_ring_width pref to a higher value (default is 1) on the <b>about:config</b> page.

Can I create dotted lines in smartforms

Dear All,
I want to create dotted lines for tables in msartforms.
Is it possible.?
Thanks,
Aneel

Hi aneel,
i don't think dotted lines are possible in smartforms.you can use text box draw underscore's(_) or dots(.) but this should be the last to be displayed in adjustable form or another way is using syuline ,dots and syvline in your code in the table...
hope this solves ur query.
