Imessage doesn't display picture on mac

Hello, basically this little issue really bothers me.
On my macbook air, on Imessage I can see picture of person who i'm chatting with but on my mac mini, i cannot.
I attach two screenshots, and the fact that macbook is not updated on the screenshot doesn't affect this.
Can someone explain me why, and how Can i make picture display also in the conversation like it is already set in my macbook?

N82, Gallery doesn't display pictures stored in th...

Hi!
Suddenly the gallery function doesn't display pictures stored on the memorycard. Well, not any files in the memory card.., doesn't recognize musicfiles either.
Is there a way to set the gallery function to display files in the memory card? It did automatically before.
New pictures are stored in the memorycard and also not displayed.
I can browse and open the pictures using the filemanager. If i copy them to the phonememory it also displays correctly..
I've upgraded the firmware but the problem remains..
Help much appreciated
Solved!

IMessage doesn't work on my Mac Pro or MB Air

I just upgraded to Mountain Lion and both my Mac Pro and MB Air don't work with iMessage, although my new MBPro had it already on the dock when I got the computer. All my systems are now 10.8.2. Is it just that these machines are too old to work with iMessage? Thanks, Katherine

Hi,
When you start up Messages for the first time you should have been asked for an Apple ID.
This would have set up an iMessage Account in the Message Menu > Preferences > Accounts.
This list at this point should have at least the Bonjour Option (Even if not Enabled) as well as the iMessages "Account"
You may also have any AIM Names or Jabber IDs that were on your Machine in Lion (iChat 6)
See also System Preferences > Mail, Contacts and Calendars.
These accounts in Messages may or may not be Enabled depending on the Mail, Contacts an Calendars settings or those in Messages - basically they can be turned On and Off outside the app.
If you had not AIM (or AIM Valid) Name or Jabber ID set up and you wished to then you would need to press the + icon/Button at the lower left of the list of Accounts.
This lesads to a new Pane where you an add AIM or Google or Jabber or Yahoo Account details.
Certain Apple IDs (@Mac.com and @me.com) are Valid AIM names and can be entered here in full.
This last bit does mean that some Apple IDs may well be set up for the iMessages part and as a Valid AIM name for the AIM Service. (i.e Messages shows two Accounts for the same "Name")
However if your Apple ID that is valid with AIM has a password longer then 16 characters then you may have issues as the AIM servers can only cope with passwords Up to 16 characters.
If you have an AIM account in the Messages Preferences you can either Disable it (Untick the "Enable this account" box) or highlight it and use the - (minus) button.

Mac Mini Doesn't Display through Philips Tube HDTV

I have a Philips tube HDTV with a VGA connector in the back, and used the DVI-VGA connector that came with my new Mac Mini to connect. I don't have a computer monitor at home. The TV doesn't display anything.
So then I took the Mac Mini over to a friend's. He has a VGA monitor, and so he ran the Mac Mini through setup and set it to the lowest possible display settings. I came back here, rebooted and plugged it back in; still no display.
Then I tried this:
"First thing to try is to boot the mini into safe mode by holding down the shift key as it boots up. This should allow it to boot, and then give you access to the display preference pane to adjust the settings back to those that worked.
If that doesn't work, try disconnecting the TV, and rebooting the Mac with no display attached. Once it has fully booted and enough time has passed to allow the desktop to be displayed, reconnected the TV. This should force the mini to boot into a low-res mode that works with just about anything, then when you reconnect the display, either cause it to auto-sense the correct resolutions, or give you access to display preferences."
This didn't work either. Any suggestions?

Hi Alan,
Check your TV manual to see what resolutions your VGA/RGB connector on your TV will accept. Being a HDTV it is likely to be from 480p to at least 1080i.
You then set the resolution in your Display preference pane to 640x480 and you should get a picture on your TV. The trick is to set it when you can't see anything! Attaching to another device may not help because the Mac detects that device when you set the Display and will know its not that when attached again to your TV. When attached to your TV it is setting another resolution it thinks will work. It is clearly guessing the wrong screen resolution when you do connect it.
I overcame this situation myself using a VNC client. That requires you to have another computer you can use to control your Mac Mini via VNC. You can then access the Display pane via VNC and set the 640x480 resolution which will work.
For setting 1080i (and the VNC process) please see:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20060319073027371&query=1080i%2BMac %2BMini
I am guessing you can also use an S Video adapter - available from Apple - to connect to an S Video port your TV may also have. That won't help with the VGA connection though.
Hope this helps.

XMP doesn't display proper info in Photoshop CS2 for Mac.

Dear List members:
I have just recently installed Creative Suite CS2 and begun to explore the functionality of XMP. After purchasing Bruce Fraser's book on Camera Raw for CS2, I downloaded Metalab (Pound Hill Software) and created my first custom XMP panel that can be seen under the file info in Photoshop when an image (digital photo) is open.
The problem is that I noticed a few odd things and began to question myself if there is some kind of bug or a problem with my installation of CS2.
1. The window that opens under the file info command has several categories of information on the left to be chosen from, in the following order:
(1)Description, (2)Camera Data 1, (3)Camera Data 2, (4)Categories, (5)History, (6)IPTC Contact, (7)IPTC Content, (8)IPTC Image, (9)IPTC Status, (10)Adobe Stock Photos, (11)Origin, (12)Advanced
The Camera Data 1 option when selected opens a panel in the file info window that seems to contain all the information it is supposed to contain. The Camera Data 2 panel, on the other hand, doesn't display any information at all. Although the fields are there, they are empty. The fields are:
(1)Pixel Dimension X and Y, (2)Orientation, (3)Resolution X and Y, (4)Resolution Unit, (5)Compressed Bits per Pixel, (6)Color Space, (7)Light Source, (8)File Source.
All these fields are empty but when looking at the same file under Bridge the information is there, displayed under the metadata menu.
This is something I noticed "before" installing Metalab so I know it is not a compatibility issue generated by the installation of the software.
After installing CS2 I noticed that CS1 remained installed in my system. The version I purchased of CS2 is the upgrade one. Since I have no use for CS1 as I am now totally converted to CS2, I would like to uninstall CS1. The following are some of the questions I have:
1. How can I uninstall CS1 without causing any problems to my installation of CS1 ? Is there an uninstall utility with the software or will I have to uninstall the entire package manually ?
2. My G5 came with only one internal 160 GB drive where I originally installed CS1. I then purchased another internal 400 GB HD and copied the original drive onto it. This week I am going to replace the original 160 GB drive with a second 400 GB drive so that I can do regular "mirror image" back-ups between the two drives. Shold I expect any problems as I remove the drive where I originally installed CS1 ? Since I used disk utility to "copy" the 160 GB drive onto the 400 GB drive, my understanding it that any Adobe software key or authorization was also transferred to the drive. Is this right ? In case it hasn't, how can I transfer this information so that after I remove the 160 GB drive I will not experience any problems when trying to run CS2 ?
3. How can I fix the problem with the Camera Data 2 panel under the file info window and command ? I noticed that the folder that is supposed to hold the Custom File Info Panels (HD>Library>Application Support>Adobe>XMP>Custom File Info Panels) has files for CS1 and CS2. Could this be a problem ? There many more files with .dat extenson than there are with the .txt extension. Bruce Fraser specifically says that the ones with the .txt extension are the ones that hold the XMP templates for information related to the image files. The files I have in this folder with the .txt are:
(1)Camera1_CS2.txt , (2)Camera1.txt , (3)Camera2_CS2.txt , (4)Camera2.txt , (5)Categories.txt , (6)History.txt , (7)IPTC_Contact.txt , (8)IPTC_Content.txt , (9)IPTC_Image.txt , (10)IPTC_Status.txt , (11)StockPhotoInfo.txt
The only ones that have two separate files one each for CS1 ad CS2 are Camera 1 and Camera 2. Camera 2 seems to be the only that is now non-functional. What should I expect to happen if I were to manually uninstall the ones that relate to CS1 ? Could that cause any problems ?
My apologies for the long post but I didn't really know how to make it shorter.

The Photoshop and/or Bridge forums would be more likely places to get answers to your questions. This forum is inhabited more by programmer types interested in implementing the XMP specification in applications we write.
I'd expect CS2 to ignore CS1 panels so I doubt that's the issue. Panels don't interfere with each other--they just offer different views of the data. In any case, move the extra panels to your desktop and see what happens.
As far as I know, all you need to do on the Mac is drag the CS1 application folder to the trash to uninstall it.

HDMI to TV as Display for New Mac Mini DOESN'T WORK

I bought a new Mac Mini and was told I could us HDMI to my TV as display.   I was using this TV as display for older Mac Mini (VGA) and for a Windows PC, and DVD via HDMI.     TV is one year old.
The Genius at the store who sold me the new mini said all I needed was an HDMI cable.   Which I purchased.
The screen comes up for the Setup Assistant but as soon I select continue is goes to gray, mixed color scanning garbage mode.    If I turn the TV off and back on, the screen returns (now at the next prompt in the setup assistant) but again it goes gray after hitting continue.    Unusable, CANNOT set up my new purchase.
Unfortunately, the DVI to VGA adapter on my old mini is different and doesn't mate to the HDMI to DVI adapter that ships with new MacMini, so I can't test VGA.   The old DVI to VGA has extra pins not on the new one.
My purchase is not usable and is extremely poor.   Buyer beware I guess.

I have been using MacMini's for commercial digital signage/video conferencing gateway usage for sometime now, they all have HDMI output, about one third are on Lion the others still on Snow Leopard, here's what I have found.
Toshiba & LG tv's are generally reliable, Samsung and Philips generally are not, Panasonic, Sony, Sharp & Viewsonic all work, somtimes with a bit of work from me.
Cables are important (always look for compatibility with HDMI revision 1.3 or greater (1.4 preferred), don't waste your money on exotic brands, adhere to the distance limitations, I generally send the HDMI signal wirelessly (cost of labor to add wiring to an existing space can be very high) so am limited to less than 50ft, same as with a wire.
READ THE TV MANUAL, find out what HDMI choices your tv possesses, is there a 'parallel' audio input available for the times when your signal origin is a MDP or DVI.
Some TV's just don't work well, cut your losses and get another when faced with this issue.

IPhoto 9.6 doesn´t display any pictures from library, upgraded

iPhoto 9.6 doesn´t display any pictures from library. I have upgraded from an old iPhoto. I upgraded the Library also.
Everything is inside the Library I can see but when I run iPhoto I get only a yellow note on the screen and no pictures?

Everything is inside the Library I can see
Do you mean by looking into the library using the Finder?
but when I run iPhoto I get only a yellow note on the screen and no pictures?
Then iPhoto has probably opened a new, empty library, because it could not find or access your iPhoto library. What happens, whiny double-click the Library to open it directly?
Where is your iPhoto library stored? Is it in the Pictures folder or on an external drive?

Firefix doesn't display some kind of pictures

Firefix doesn't display some kind of pictures in the google+. I've tried an advice from support but problem still exists (https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fix-problems-images-not-show).
Other internet browser shows these pictures correct. It seems to me the problem concerns .bmp files
as I unvestigated searching other browsers.

If you use extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) that can block content (e.g. Adblock Plus, NoScript, Flash Block, Ghostery) then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

My Media Browser in Garageband doesn't display anything except the very first song I have in this mac.

I have been always wanting to edit some songs and make a remix of it. However, the media browser in garageband in my macbook pro doesn't display any songs, except the very first song I added to my laptop. I have tried to do every suggestion from other forums (e.g. check the itunes library, etc) and none worked. One thing I realised is that I can still drag and drop the song directly from Finder to my Garageband timeline. Nevertheless, it annoys me whenever I open the media browser since this is not what my mac should do. I would be very grateful if someone could assist me with this matter.

Have you checked, if the search field at the bottom of the Media Browser is cleared? It should be set to "All", if you click the looking glass. Otherwise the list will be filtered.
And the drop-down menu should show "iTunes", if you want to see all songs.
If these simple measures do not help, try the fix for "oddball" problems and remove the User Preferences - see the FAQ:

Mac doesn't display correctly on a TV

My friend has this problem:
The postman brought a new lead to connect my Mac to the TV (having bought the wrong adapter in the first place and got the Mackuna one by accident), so we got everything linked up ready to go, found the right channel on the TV etc. etc. adjusted the display on the Mac to the right resolution, pressed play on the download ... and noticed that the TV only plays it if I move it off the right-hand side of the computer screen! How can that be? I mean it's watchable and the mouse pointer is there too, but how can that be right?! If you put the computer next to the TV the picture joins up like one long computer screen! So you can have it playing half on the TV and half on the computer!! You can move it around like that too! I mean it can't be designed to only play on the TV if you drag it right off your computer screen? Can it?
Any thoughts anyone? (I'm not sure which Mac she has)

Everything that you've mentioned sounds correct for Extended Mode viewing. Yes you can drag the application completely off the Mac screen to the TV and resize it to fit.
You could make the TV the primary screen by going to System Preferences/Displays/Arrangement and dragging the white bar from the small monitor to the larger monitor. This way, the opposite will occur... you drag applications from the TV to the MacBook when you want to.
Another option would be viewing in [Closed Clamshell Mode|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131?viewlocale=en_US] so that the TV becomes the only screen.

FF 4 (mac) doesn't display handcursor in all Flash websites. Also all html websites show strange behaviour with cursor. (blinking cursor in nearby div after clicking a button)

I'm running Mac OS 10.6
FF4 doesn't display the hand cursor or type cursor in '''all''' flash websites on links/textfieldss when it should. Highly annoying and disgracing all flashcontent.
Also with html websites I experienced strange cursor behaviour with FF4. Although it's hard to reproduce the problem. It's very inconsistent.
I have the feeling in general FF4 should look into it's cursor behaviour on all possible platforms. Mainly Flash.

I replicated the typing cursor problem on the popular FB. Just click e.g. "x people like this", you'll see you get a blinking type cursor in the "close" button.
