IDVD won't create thumbnail images in slide shows

In a slide show, the window that used to show the photos in a slide show no longer renders thumbnails in the list or grid views. The status at the top of the window just sits there and spins forever, with the text "Creating thumbnail images...." Anyone know of a workaround?

Neither of these "fixes" has changed anything. I also cleared my cache, ran a diagnostic check, and a virus/trojan scan! Either way, firefox 4 is just not working up to my needs! Should, or can I go back to 3.6?

Open your iPhoto Library, go to that particular album and verify that you can view the full sized version of each image by double clicking on them. Report back with the results.

Import Images into slide show - Creating Thumbnail images -Hang

I am using iDVD 7. I imported my images into a slideshow. The pictures were not in iPhoto but just a folder that I created and edited in Photoshop. Once I import the images, the window shows all the file names as expected but all the Image Thumbnails are blank and the top of the window there is a message "+Creating thumbnail images... (32 remaining)+" with a spinning wheel next to the message. This message stays there forever. The 32 is the number of images in the slideshow. I can do most things in iDVD while this is going on, but I cannot add the audio I want.
What is causing this and can I get it to stop?

To add to this I decided to remove the slideshow and now import the pictures from iPhoto. I can only get ride of the message by closing iDVD down. When I relaunch iDVD the message is gone. When I now import the pictures from iPhoto the same thing happens where it hangs on creating thumbnail images.

Create Thumbnail Images

Hello, I currently use Automator on Mac OS 10.4 Tiger. I most often use this program to create thumbnail images for easy web upload. However, I plan to upgrade my operating system to Leopard soon, and I was wondering, will my Automator workflows that I've created in Tiger work on the Leopard OS? If not, is their an equivalent automation on Leopard that will output thumbnail images?

without knowing specifics it's hard to say anything definite but leopard automator includes everything Tiger automator had and a whole lot more. the action to create thumbnails is certainly present. you might have to remake the workflow from scratch but it will certainly work.

Create Thumbnail Image in JSP

I have JSP a page, were I want to show Thumbnail Image from specified path. The specified path contain one or more file. If anybody have the code or reference for doing this please replay. (For one image will also the helpfule for me)
Thank You

The following is what I use to create thumbnail images. It uses struts, is a bit of a haste work but never failed in creating thousands of thumbnails. I'd be glad if you suggest improvement.

OS X Mail High CPU "Creating Thumbnail Images"

I just upgraded to Yosemite and noticed that my computer has become quite sluggish. I noticed that Mail is running the CPU very high. I opened the Activity window in mail and notice that it's continually "Creating Thumbnail Images". Does anyone know what exactly it's doing? Is there any way to limit the amount of CPU it uses?

Hi, I have got some aditional information. I switched off all network connections and was able to remove the email from the outbox. Now I can use Mail again to fetch mail. To my surprise, the email that still resided in the outbox was sent. It was just not removed from the outbox.
I rebuilt all mailboxes, still no change, i. e. same crash when trying to send an email.
Any ideas?

Create Thumbnail Image in KM

Hello Everybody,
I can upload images to KM Folders. But I want to create thumbnail image while i am uploading original image. I found one library but i cant call the create function from "com.sapportals.wcm.repository.manager.thumbnail.ResourceImageThumbnailPlugIn" library.
Does anyone know how can i call this function from webdynpro?
Kind Regards.

Hello,
You are right john. But i am using KM api library from webdynpro. I dont use km upload tool. for that reason it cant create thumbnail automatically. I need one library for creating thumbnails.
Thanks satish for your link. But i dont understand what should i do with this link. My problem is if i uploaded jpg images, it cant created thumbnails automatically..

How do you add a new thumbnail to a slide show when using in-browser editing?

how do you add a new thumbnail to a slide show when using in-browser editing?

At this moment you can’t add pictures to a slideshow. You only can replace them.

Help Needed! I have created a 13 Min Slide Show in iPhoto (iMac Mavericks) but am having problem with adding music.

I created a 13 min Slide Show in iPhoto but have a question on adding music. I would like to add music clips that are set to change at the beginning of certian slides so that there is a varity of music during the show rather than a continuous theme clip. I know you can add multiple clips but can you pin them to change at a particular point in the program? Right now the music clips just run to their time limit and the next one starts. Isn't there a way to edit them the way it can be done in iMovie? Its frustrating to be able to create a nice slide show and not be able to manage the music background. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

No, you don't have that fine grained control of the soundtrack in iPhoto. It's designed for a quick job, not a complex one.
Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
iMovie is on every Mac sold.
Others, in order of price:
PhotoPresenter $29
PhotoToMovie $49.95
PulpMotion $129
FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
Final Cut Pro X $299
It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs. However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Pro X is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

Safari won't display thumbnail images

Hello everyone. I have encountered a small issue about thumnail images in Safari. At first I thought this is an issue of a specific website but I figured out that it's an issue with my Safari browser. So, as you can see the top screenshot is from Safari which doesn't show thumbnail images and the bottom one is from Chrome which shows thumbnails perfectly. I love to use Safari as my default web browser and I have no plan to change to another web browser. So, is there anyone who can help me address this issue? Thank you in advance!

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a few minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test will take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

How do I create image pushing slide show in Flash?

Hi. I am wondering if anybody can tell me how to create a picture PUSH. I have three images that I wish to work with. By pushing I mean having an image come in from the left (or right) and place itself on top of the other (or pushing the other out of view). Like a slide show of three images scrolling along but one stops for a brief period before the other image comes into view.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!!

As Pat mentioned, this question might be best suited for the Flash Professional forum, I just happen to have the link handy
Thanks,
Chris

IDVD won't make disc image

Dear all, many thanks for all the advice on installing iDVD. The software is back on my computer but the origginal problem stays:
Whenever I attempt to "save as disk image" or click on "burn" the application "unexpctedly quits". Everything else goes well, the projects work - I watched all the movies and slideshows in iDVD Preview - but no DVD-burning is possible.
So far I have
- downloaded Mac OS X and iDVD upgrades from apple.com
- trashed idvd.plist files
- repaired permissions
- uninstalled, reinstalled iDVD and repaired permissions.
IDVD worked perfectly before I installed the Mac OS X upgrade from the disk that came with my computer.
I don't know what happened but it is very disturbing. All the other iLife applications also work perfectly. I did not change anything with my external Lacie Lightscribe.
I have 15 GB free space.
I have an iMAC G5 Combo, 512 MB RAM, 80 GB HD.

Thank you, I will try the new user tip.
Free space was not a problem before, I created disk images with even less free space but I will clean up a bit.

How to create thumbnail images on the fly from JSP or servlet?

Hi all,
Iam new to this forum. I need a solution for the problem iam facing in building my site. Ihave groups and briefcase section in my site. I allow users to upload files and pictures.
When they upload pictures i need to create thumbnail for them on the fly.
Is there any taglibs or java source to do this from JSP or servlets.
It would be very greatful if i can get an early answer.
Please let me know if there is any other forum where i can get better answer, if not here?
thnx.

Here is how you can create dynamic images:
http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/JDCTechTips/2001/tt0821.html#tip2
However, if you want to create gifs/jpegs and save them to the disk it depends from where you want to create the images. It is different if you are creating from another image or just drawing one from scratch etc.. But in the end you will probably need to use one of the imageencoder classes and write the result to the disk with the file io classes.

Creating thumbnail images and storing it as gif or jpg

Hi all,
Iam new to this forum. I need a solution for the problem iam facing in building my site. I have groups and briefcase section in my site. I allow users to upload files and pictures.

It would be very greatful if i can get an early answer.
Please let me know if there is any other forum where i can get better answer, if not here?

I found the following searching through the forum, under jpeg or thumbnail, a while back -- maybe you can use it:

* @param orig The name of image file.
* @param thumb The name of thumbnail file. Will be created if necessary.

public static void createThumbnail(String orig, String thumb, int maxDim) {
try {
// Get the image from a file.
Image inImage = new ImageIcon(orig).getImage();
// Determine the scale.
double scale = (double)maxDim/(double)inImage.getHeight(null);
if (inImage.getWidth(null) > inImage.getHeight(null)) {
scale = (double)maxDim/(double)inImage.getWidth(null);
// Determine size of new image. One of them
// should equal maxDim.
int scaledW = (int)(scale*inImage.getWidth(null));
int scaledH = (int)(scale*inImage.getHeight(null));
// Create an image buffer in which to paint on.
BufferedImage outImage = new BufferedImage(scaledW, scaledH,
BufferedImage.TYPE_INT_RGB);
// Set the scale.
AffineTransform tx = new AffineTransform();
// If the image is smaller than the desired image size,
// don't bother scaling.
if (scale < 1.0d) {
tx.scale(scale, scale);
// Paint image.
Graphics2D g2d = outImage.createGraphics();
g2d.drawImage(inImage, tx, null);
g2d.dispose();
// JPEG-encode the image and write to file.
OutputStream os = new FileOutputStream(thumb);
JPEGImageEncoder encoder = JPEGCodec.createJPEGEncoder(os);
encoder.encode(outImage);
os.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
System.exit(0);
V.V.
