Images won't appear in Drop Zones

This has been bugging me for a while now. I am trying to create an easy to use/burn presentation platform for a recent group trip I went on. I'd like to eventually be able to burn copies to a DVD so that others may have a copy of our adventure. At first I was going to just create a slideshow using iDVD, when I came into these troubles I switched to using iMovie to create a slideshow with the music I want and the transitions I want. That still leaves the embellishment portion of it. I don't want the menus to look boring.
What I am finding to be troublesome is that I try to import images from iPhoto into iDVD and they some times, more often than not, will not appear in the drop zones on the larger screen. They will show in the editor but not above. I've tried changing themes, same thing. I have also tried to bypass iPhoto by importing the images I want into the drop zones by using the File>Import>Image... route.
Please, any help would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!
I'm running on a Mac OS X v10.6.8 with 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 8GB 1067 MHz DDR3.
The iDVD is version 7.1.1

hi there, I am confused when you stated you cant "import images from iPhoto into iDVD" .
The way I get photos into the drop zones is to drag the photos from the media browser on the right hand side of the screen. I don't "import" .. unless I'm misinterpreting the use of that term. here is my idvd project and note on the bottom right hand side I've clicked Media. Then I click Photos on the top and it shows me all my photos. Thats where I drag and drop FROM.
Note you can also drag and drop photos from a finder window. The only time I have issues is if my photo is a landscape and I'm trying to stick it into a box that is portrait and vice-versa.
does this help at all?

CDs, DVDs, disk images won't appear in Sidebar or on Desktop

Hello,
Brand new iMac 2.16, right out of the box.
CDs, DVDs, and Disk Images won't appear on the desktop or in the Sidebar. Nothing is shown over the horizontal gray line at the top of the sidebar, no Macintosh HD, Servers, etc. Disk Images are fully functional, ie Disk Utility recognizes and mounts them just fine.
I checked Mac Help and followed its instructions:
(1) In Finder preferences:Pane:General, all 'Show These Items on the Desktop' boxes are checked.
(2) In Finder preferences:Pane:Sidebar, I checked all boxes under "Show These Items in the Sidebar. BUT these changes are NOT retained. After I close the Preferences, the Sidebar does not change. If I re-open the Sidebar preferences, the relevant boxes are now unchecked, as if I'd never done a thing.
Restarting was the only way to fix the problem. Thereafter, the upper items in the Sidebar (Macintosh HD, external drives, iPod, CDs) sometimes SPONTANEOUSLY disappear. They still show up on the desktop, but tweaking the Sidebar preferences is again ineffective. Restarting is the only solution.
Thank you for your help,
Andy

Hi Andy, Welcome to Apple's Users Help Users Forums.
1] Everything elmac says is helpful and correct.
2] An upgrade to 10.4.8 with the 10.4.8 Combo from blue apple / Mac OS Updates might fix your hiccup. If you don't want .8 then .7 combo.
3] [OT] For some minor security issues, it is better to surf the internet in a standard account. If you are surfing in an admin account then here is how to switch and maintain prefs.
Set up a new account in System Preferences / Accounts / +
and make it have admin priviledges. Be sure to remember short name and password since you will be asked to "authenticate" when running in your standard account. This new account is often called "test" in these forums.
Once that is done convert your regular account to standard.
Good Luck, JP

Images won't appear in local preview

Hi. I have a page I laid out in dreamweaver. It looks good.
When I try to add new images, I can see them in the layout,
but they do not appear when I do an F12 preview.
My old images that do appear are in the same folder as the
new ones I'm trying to add that won't appear.
I tried to copy an existing image that appears and pasting it
--they both appear in the layout, but an F12 preview only shows the
old one even though it is the same image.
I even tried to open a dreamweaver tutorial, insert and image
and preview it, and it didn't work.
Can anyone help me please.
Thank you,
Melissa

This usually means that you are linking with root relative
links. Enable
Preview using Temp files in your Preferences, and then you
will see them.

Images won't appear!

This is a rather odd thing that is happening in Apex, I have never seen this before we have tried very many methods.
Here's the story ...
We have installed Apex on our Oracle App Server R3, and we have set up a load balancer. Everything works fine in the application except all of the images in the images/htmldb underlying subdirectories. We did a lot of debugging to see which images were appearing when logging onto Apex. For some ODD reason everything in the images/menu directory appears fine, actually all of the images directory under the images/htmldb do appear fine too ... EXCEPT for images in the underlying subdirectorys of htmldb/builder/, htmldb/icons/, htmldb/misc/ etc.
What is going on?
Here are the methods we have already attempted...
1) Check the dads.conf file, everything looked fine the aliases were set up file for /i/ and /c/, we restarted the server and everything, still no luck. If the images from the menu directory do appear, then the alias shouldn't even be the problem.
2) Manipulated the dads.conf, we manipulated the aliases for /i/ and /c/ and copied the entire htmldb/ directory into the menu directory, just to see if the images would appear and change the /i/ alias to look into the /menu/htmldb/, again no luck.
3) Recopied the entire images directory, we deleted the entire images directory from the server, and re-copied a fresh copy over from Oracle. Just in case the images were corrupt, again no luck.
4) We moved the images from the htmldb/builder directory to the htdocs directory, because this is a global directory, everything should be accessible by the browser, typed into the url, still image not found.
After every step, restarted the http server and cleared the cache from the browser, still no luck.
The only odd thing is that when we commented out ALL the aliases from the dads.conf file, the images from images/menu were still appearing, even after clearing the cache. These image files were being read from somewhere! We even looked at Apex after deleting the entire images directory, and everything did not work (that was expected). I am not familiar with the infrastructure, but something weird is going on here, is there some server cache that needs to be cleared each time or something?
We tried so many methods for hours, please let us know if anyone has come across this dilemma, it shouldn't be rocket science, the images are there ... typing in the direct URL to the images in the images/htmldb/builder directory should let the image appear in the browser, am I not right?
Is there something I am missing?
Any advice is appreciated.
Ann

I'm not real familiar with how alot of the back end stuff works, but we had an issue where we added an image. It displayed OK in Internet Explorer but not FireFox. We had to upload the image into the SHARED COMPONENTS\FILES\IMAGES page. We then had to reference the image like this:
<img src="#APP_IMAGES#holly.png">

My Images won't appear & links won't when i export it

Ok, I am a rookie and new to this whole Dreamweaver thing.
But I am trying to put together a page and it works fine until I
try to zip the files and send them to someone. Then my links won't
work and my images appear as red x's. I am sure this is something
simple for many of you but I am pulling my hair out. Here is a copy
of the code, if anyone can dumb down their response to help me,
that would be grand! Thanks in advance.

Images Won't Appear in Simple Program

I am working on a small game project and I can't get Java to draw images to the screen. I started developing on a mac, and the code worked there. I switched to my new PC, and now everything in the program executes, but the images just don't show up. Even the sample imagetest.java program from Sun's Core Java 2 V.1 book doesn't work. I don't know if the source will help, but I will post it if somebody asks. I've reinstalled the JDK a couple of times, in different versions (I just got the latest). Most images in applets won't show up either, although I have seen it work once (no idea why). Any suggestions on how to get images to show up?

For myself, I have found that this occurs when the program couldn't find the image. Instead of giving an error, it just doesn't display anything. Maybe the path to your images changed when you changed platforms?

Please help - image won't appear in iTunes

Hi
I hope you can help as we seem to have followed all the rules but the image for our podcast still hasn't appeared after more than two weeks.
RSSFeed:
http://www.podooch.com/corporate/dirtydancing.php5?action=subscribe&chid=220&corpid=179
Format: jpg
Size: 300px x 300px

We have also changed the file name so that iTunes will recognise it as new (as suggested in another post).
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

After downloading Itunes, images won't appear and songs won't play

I have an issue that hasn't been fixed since I the itunes update about a month or so ago. All of a sudden, I cannot see any images in itunes nor can i play any music at all either in my playlist or from the music store. i tried to contact customer support, but they were not able to help me. i've even tried uninstalling and reinstalling itunes and that hasn't helped. can anyone help me with this issue so i can continue using my itunes? thanks.

those symptoms (arriving together like that) usually indicate a broken QuickTime. (itunes needs a fully functional QT in order to work properly.)
the first thing we'll try is a careful standalone QT 7.1 reinstall.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
if that install goes through okay, does your itunes behave properly again?
(if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

Wrapper div background image won't appear in browser...

Hi All,
Here's a link to the test site:
http://www.davidcoshdesign.com/test/tee
If you go to 'About' – top right nav, there should be two vertical 'lines' running all the way down the page(s), either side of the main body copy.
All the pages are created from the same template.
It's a repeating background image in the #wrapper div. I can see it DW, but not in any browsers.
I guess it's not linking somehow... but can't figurte it out.
Also, the layouts on the 'Partners and 'Philosophy' pages 'jump' when you go to them. Again, I guess there's an error in the code somewhere...
Any help with these two things would be very much appreciated.
RP

Change this -
#wrapper {
    background-repeat: repeat;
    background-image: url(assets/images/columnedge.jpg);
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 14px;
    font-style: normal;
    line-height: 19px;
    font-weight: normal;
    color: #999;
    text-decoration: none;
    width: 980px;
    margin-top: 0px;
    margin-right: auto;
    margin-bottom: 0px;
    margin-left: auto;
    height: auto;
to this -
#wrapper {
    background-repeat: repeat;
    background-image: url(assets/images/columnedge.jpg);
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 14px;
    font-style: normal;
    line-height: 19px;
    font-weight: normal;
    color: #999;
    text-decoration: none;
    width: 980px;
    margin-top: 0px;
    margin-right: auto;
    margin-bottom: 0px;
    margin-left: auto;
    height: auto;
   overflow:hidden;
You need to clear the floats so that div#wrapper will contain the contents. To fix the jumping, add this to your CSS -
html { overflow-y:scroll; }

Images won't appear when file is loaded

I currently have a PC at home and I started a project there with images imported from an illustrator file.
It worked fine at home until I brought it to school and loaded it on a Mac. All my images are blank, however there is still a bounding box around them but there's nothing inside. Even the files in the project panel don't show up when I drag it to another composition. I tried to import the illustrator file again and when I did, the images worked, but that would mean I would have to redo the whole project when I've already finished it.
When I took the file and loaded it at home again, it worked fine. It seems like I need to update my files for it to show, but I'm not exactly sure how. Does anyone know how I can fix this error and get the images loading? It would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Check whether the machine at school has correctly been updated to A§ 8.0.2. Several not so minor bugs were fixed with the updates. also check your files on Illustrator (Mac) and if necessary, re-save them from there.

Not scaling images in drop zone

Hi,
For some reason when I drop an image into a drop zone in iDVD 6, it will not scale the image so a large chunk of the image is cropped off. Since the image I need to use has some text on it, I'm trying t resize it to fit in an external editor, but no luck as of yet.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many, many thanks,
David

David,
I know I used to have the problem you described back in the iDVD 4 (or earlier) days, but I just did some more checking.
The article Selecting the portion of a movie or image that appears in the drop zone at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/5.0/en/258.html says (in part): When you drag a picture or movie into a drop zone, the aspect ratio of the image is preserved and it is scaled larger or smaller until the top, bottom, left, or right edge of the image meets the edge of the drop zone. You can move the image to choose which portion of the image is visible in the drop zone.
The article was written for iDVD 5 but when I 'fired up' iDVD 6 and tried some 5 megapixel images in the drop zones of several themes, everything worked as advertised in the article.
What theme are you having problems with?

Drop Zone Image Adjustment in iDVD '08

I use iDVD 6 for making slideshow DVDs of family functions to send out to my other family members. One of the features that I used in every one of my projects was the ability to drag around any image that you place in the Drop Zone that has been automatically cropped, so that you can pick which part of the image you want to be visible.
In iDVD '08, however, this feature has been removed. What's worse, some of the new themes (Modern, for instance) crop the majority of the images you place into the Drop Zone. I find virtually every new theme in iDVD '08 unusable because of the removal of this feature.
I tried using an old theme from iDVD 6, but I was also unable to adjust the location of my images in relation to the drop zone.
Am I just doing something wrong? In both the toturial vid and the manual, Apple makes no mention of adjusting an image once it's inside the Drop Zone.
In the meantime, I am reverting to iDVD 6. I don't understand why they would remove a feature that was so useful.

*Here's the whole explanation from iDVD Help:*
Repositioning an image or movie in a drop zone
When you drag a picture or movie into a drop zone, the aspect ratio of the image is preserved, but it is scaled larger or smaller to fill the drop zone. As a result, sometimes part of the image is cut off and does not appear in the drop zone. In this case, you can move the image to choose which portion is visible in the drop zone.
_To reposition an image or movie in a drop zone:_
1.) From the drop zone on the menu (not in the drop zone editor), click the image or movie and press Command.
2.) Drag the image until the part you want is visible in the drop zone.
Keep these things in mind as you position an image:
If you drag a narrow image to a drop zone, the image is scaled vertically, and you can move the image up or down only.
If you drag a wide image to a drop zone, the image is scaled horizontally, and you can move the image side to side only.
If you accidentally drag the image too far, you will remove it from the drop zone. (The cursor changes from a hand to a puff of smoke.) Choose Edit > Undo to restore the image to the drop zone.
Repositioning a movie in a drop zone is different from selecting which part of a movie shows in a drop zone (which allows you to select which frame of the movie is displayed in a drop zone). For more information, see Related Topics below.

Resizine image for drop zone

Hi. I have an image I want in a drop zone (Drive-in 2), but no matter how many times I scale it down, it still won't show the whole image on the drive-in screen. In fact, it seems to be showing the exact same portion of the image each time. Could anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks so much!
Chad

Chad, What I did with some success is duplicate the photo in iPhoto and play around with croping it, and enlarging and so on. It is kinda fun as well and I ended up with a decent photo that wasn't chopping of peoples heads when I put in DVD. But like OT said sometimes the photo just won't work!

Moving an image around in a drop zone in DVD studio

Hi there
I am pretty new to this DVD studio program, and I often am using templates to make my client DVDs. One major major problem I always come across is when I have to drop images in, they always dont fit properly, let me show you one for example
http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/8978/picture8vt.png
This always happens when I drop images in Final cut. Is there a way I can move my Image around that box?
Thanks in advance!
Message was edited by: blackout2008

if you click on a corner handle of the drop zone then press shift and drag the corner outwards, the drop zone will snap fit to match the format ratio of the image revealing the complete image
the reason you wont be able to move the image sideways is that there wont be any image to reveal-if the image is a different ratio to the drop zone, the image will fit inside the drop zone either by hieght or width
if the drope zones dont provide what you want-its very simple to create your own in a graphics application
