IMessage no longer accepts images to be dragged into the message box
My iMessage iMac app no longer accepts images to be dragged into the message box since upgrading to Mavericks. I used to be able to just drag in .jpg images and they would appear in the text field to be sent to another persons iPhone/iPad/iMac. This no longer happens and just ignores that I have dragged it. Not even a "not accepted" icon appears.
Is this just me? Or a bug in Mavericks?
James
Its working again now after a restart so must be a bug.

My iMessages don't work since updating. It says the Messages database is being upgraded, please wait while it finishes or Quit Messages and relaunch it later. How do I get them working again?
Back up all data.
Quit Messages if it’s running. Force quit if necessary. Relaunch it and test after each of the following steps. If the problem isn't resolved, quit again and go on to the next step.
Step 1
Make sure you know the ID and password you use with iMessage. Launch the Keychain Access 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 and start typing the name.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select
Change Settings for Keychain "login"
In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked
Keep login keychain unlocked
is not checked, check it.
Select
Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain.
From the Category list in the lower left corner of the window, select My Certificates. Look carefully at the list of certificates in the right side of the window. If any of them is marked with a red "X" as expired or invalid, delete it. Also delete all items with "iMessage" or "com.apple.idms" in the name, whether valid or not.
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences... ▹ Certificates
There are three menus in the window. Change the selection in the top two to Best attempt, and in the bottom one to CRL.
Log out and log back in.
Step 2
Hold down the option key and select
Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. Move the following items from the Library folder to the Trash (some may not exist):
Containers/com.apple.corerecents.recentsd
Caches/com.apple.Messages
Caches/com.apple.imfoundation.IMRemoteURLConnectionAgent
Containers/com.apple.iChat
Containers/com.apple.soagent
IdentityServices
Leave the Library folder open. Log out and log back in.
Step 3
Go back to the Finder and move the following item from the open Library folder to the Desktop:
Messages
Note: you are not moving the Messages application. You’re moving a folder named “Messages.”
If Messages now works, delete the Messages folder on the Desktop. Otherwise, quit Messages again. Put back the folder you moved, overwriting the newer one that may have been created in its place.
Step 4
In the Preferences subfolder, there may be several files having names that begin with any of the following strings:
com.apple.iChat
com.apple.ids
com.apple.imdsmsrecordstore
com.apple.imessage
com.apple.imservice
Move them all to the Desktop. There may also be a file with the name "com.apple.imagent.plist". Move that to the Trash.
Also in the Preferences folder, there's a subfolder named "ByHost". Open it and do the same thing.
Log out and log back in. Test again. This time Messages should perform normally, but your settings will be lost. You may be able to put back some of the files you moved to the Desktop in this step. Relaunch and test after each one. Eventually you should find one or more that causes Messages to malfunction. Delete those files and recreate whatever settings they contained.
If the issue is still not resolved, quit Messages again and put all the items you moved to the Desktop back where they were. You don’t need to replace the items you moved to the Trash. Stop here and post your results.
If you later decide that you don’t like the results of Steps 3 and 4, you can undo them completely by quitting Messages and restoring the items you deleted in those steps from your backup. -
Images fail to load into the browser
Hello,
Sometimes images fail to load into the browser (they show up as a red "X"). Does anyone know why? Refreshing often loads them correctly, but then a different image will not load (and show a red "X").
Thanks very much,
AndyHi Vikas,
Thank you very much for your help on this. I am now using a faster computer and the problem no longer happens. I did understand your suggestion - I was brainstorming ideas to make changes to APEX to account for slow computers, or computers without enough memory. To somehow guarantee a level of service for APEX applications at the end user's browser. Similar to how Oracle Enterprise manager can help guarantee certain SLAs for J2EE web applications, by monitoring performance from the browser all the way back to the disk. (I'm not sure if it 100% can do this today, but I believe this is the direct it is headed).
Well, I suppose if everyone uses fast computers this is no longer an issue. But, sometimes fast computers are hard to come by.
Thanks again for your help,
Andy -
I downloaded the most recent version of Firefox as requested. No Firefox icon appears
to drag into the Applications folder. I tried twice with no luck. The old version remains.
I am on a new Mac. I will, when this works, be updating my older Mac as well.The thing in your download folder is a "disk image." You have to double-click it and it will place a white "disk" on your desktop. It should also open a window with a Firefox icon and your applications folder. Then you can drag it to the applications folder. When you are done drag that disk to the trash. More details in this article - [[Installing Firefox on Mac]]

Since updating my Itunes software some time ago, I've not been able to add my own artwork,ie album covers, to my own personal albums.Used to be able to go to "File," "Get Info" and drag/drop my photo into the artwork box, hit save/OK and Voila! No longer and it's Really frustrating. It will let me drag it there but it
won't save it or display it. (Why they go and break somethin' that was working fine?....just an aside) What must one do now to display their own artwork for albums that are non purchasable online?Winter 7 wrote:
Thanks again. Though I'm not really tech savy, I don't believe this issue has to do with Tags.
it has everyrhing to do with tags.
The artwork is stoed in the Artwork tag field.
Since WAV files do not have tags, there is no where to store the tags.
If you use iTunes to get artwork for WAV files, it puts themn into the AlbumArt folder adn links it to the correct files via the iTunes library.itl file.
All other formats (MP3, AAC, AIFF, Apple Lossless) have na artwork tag to store the artwork in the media file itself.
in the past, to add my own personal artwork,
Not to WAV files. You must have imported them as a different format. -
I have created two related Blurb books in Lightroom 5 (Volumes 1 and 2) but my balance of page numbers is off. So I'd like to take some pages out of one book (complete with images) and paste them into the other. Is this possible?
Can you zip up a few of your GoPro images, upload them to dropbox.com and post a share link, here, so others can experiment with them, or do you mean this issue is global to all camera models?

I am not able to use the ftp export in Muse. When I enter my host, name and password, I get a long interlude of rainbow wheel and finally the message that my ftp host cannot be found. I have verified the name and that it is port 21. I can export to html and use another ftp client to upload (to the same server) but this is tedious and making minor changes is painful. Have you encountered this and found a solution?
Hi Susan,
In that case I will recommend that you consult a local technician/IT team and see if there is some network connectivity issue with your machine.

I have a slow startup or login, with numerious spinning wheels. Sometimes after a long ti,e I can sign into the computer and sometimes it just fails to startup or login. I have a MacBookPro OS X 10.7.5 from 2011. It became more serious recently as I think I might have let my battery run out I also tried to download the operating system to reinstall it but it allways stops around 1.4 GB out of 1.7 then the whell starts again.
Keep the MBP attached to the power adapter.
First try SMC and PRAM resets:

Then try to boot the MBP in recovery (OPTION key down) and select the recover partition. Select Disk Utility>First Aid and verify and repair the HDD.

MY computer crashed and I had to reload the operating system. I had purchased the export PDF. However, I had not back up since my purchase and it is my understanding that this software is not stored on my computer. The export no longer works, it just keeps circling and the message acts like it is doing it but it circles and never completes. Msg says "uploading file to adobe exportPDF online"
Hi lisa99vano,
I'm sorry that your computer crashed. That's the worst. But, it shouldn't have affected ExportPDF, since that is an online service (provided you're using a supported web browser, and there's no firewall or proxy preventing ExportPDF from uploading). First, please make sure that you're using a supported web browser: http://www.adobe.com/acom/systemreqs/
Next, I think we should consider the file that you're trying to convert. How big is it? Had you tried converting it before the crash? Does it contain both text and graphics? Do other files convert without issue?
I look forward to hearing back from you with some specifics about the file.
Best,

Saved in my PC during sync with itunes, the PDFs DRAGGED TO THE FILES BOX
Saved in my PC during sync with itunes, the PDFs DRAGGED TO THE FILES BOX Of Aji iRead App or other pdf reader app, just below the list of Apps in itunes and the list in ipad show, in itunes sync screen?
If download wifi a pdf book, with pdf read app then after sync this would saved in PC?iRead PDF has a link in its description to its developers website (http://www.ajidev.com/iread/index.html). In iTunes, with your iPad connected, you need to select the document(s) that you want to copy from iRead PDF to your computer (http://www.ajidev.com/iannotate/support/itunes.html - the iRead help on their website links to iAnnotate as they are the basically the same except that iAnnotate allows you to make notes).

Why do I receive the message on my Macintosh,"You can't open the (name of application) application because Power PC applications are no longer accepted"?" At one time the Mac software worked so I'm confused. Fore example I tried to open Concorder Pro snd it gave me the message.
From a recent post I answered for a similar question about the lack of PowerPC app support in Mt. Lion:
Unfortunately you got caught up in the minor miracle of Rosetta. Originally licensed by Apple when it migrated from the PowerPC CPU platform that it had used from the mid-1990's until the Intel CPU platform in 2006, Rosetta allowed Mac users to continue to use their library of PPC software transparently in emulation.
However, Apple's license to continue to use this technology expired with new releases of OS X commencing with Lion (and now Mountain Lion). While educational efforts have been made over the last 6 years, the fact is that Rosetta was SO successful that many users were caught unaware UNTIL they upgraded to Lion or Mountain Lion.
Workarounds:
1. If your Mac will support it, restore OS X Snow Leopard;
2. If your Mac will support it, partition your hard drive or add an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard into it and use the "dual-boot" method to choose between your PowerPC software or Lion/Mt. Lion;
3. Upgrade your software to Intel compatible versions if they are available, or find alternative software that will open your data files, modify them and save them;
4. Install Snow Leopard Server (with Rosetta) into Parallels or VMWare Fusion. Apple is now selling Snow Leopard Server for only $19.99 + sales tax & shipping; call 1.800.MYAPPLE (1.800.692.7753). This solution will give you concurrent use of your PowerPC applications and access to Lion or Mt. Lion.
[Concorder Pro running in Snow Leopard Server installed into Parallels for use in Lion and Mt. Lion]:

Can I import old iMessages into the Messages App on an iMac?
Howdy all:
I've been using iMessages on my iPhone for a long while now, but only recently set it up on my iMac.
I'm wondering if there is any way to get all my old iMessage threads to show up in the Messages App on the iMac.
Right now, I am only seeing the threads that I've intereacted with since setting up Messages on iMac, and they only go back as far as when I set it up.
Make sense?
Thanks for any advice!Hi,
The "sync" between and iPhone (or other iOS device) and a Mac only works from the time both devices have the same details.
Effectively this is the time that the iPhone has the Apple ID added to it's settings and the pop ups that appear on the Mac about the iPhone's details are accepted.
The Sync is then "Display on all devices" only.
There is no catch up on existing threads on either device on the other.
If you delete an iMessages or a conversation on one device the other is unaffected.

Images sent to and from the Message app show up Black.
When I am sent an image or I send an image in iMessage or as an MMS I can see the image when it's hits my phone or iPad but once I press it to open the image it's black. That's happening on my iPhone 4 and my iPad 2 (both running on 5.0.1 I have yet to update to 5.1). I cannot seem to get any image sent via iMessage or MMS to show up. I see them fine in emails and whatsapp but not the Message app.
Anyone able to advise on this?
Many thanksI guess I was expecting to talk to people that new what they were talking about. All I did was ask a simple question and got nothing back from you that would solve the problem. Sorry but your sugestions did not help me. I'll wait to see if I get any other feed back. Don't get me wrong as I do appreciate your input, but it's not solving my problem. Why is apple making it so hard to get into the memory of this one app? I have never had a phone that I could not access all data until I got an iphone.

Imported stills become pixellated once dragged into the timeline?
I have a frustrating problem. I have generated a 768x576 pixel image (PNG format) for a PAL project which I import into FCE. When the file is double-clicked in the Browser to view in the Viewer, it looks nice and sharp (Viewer window with 200% magnification):
But when I drag that image into the timeline and render it (all video render options are ticked), it looks pixellated and frankly terrible in comparison:
When exported as a movie it also comes out like this. How do I keep this image looking clear and sharp? What is going wrong?No, not yet, I'm trying to understand why the same image looks different in the Viewer compared to the Timeline. With a bit more digging and reading, part of the problem is the way image conversions are done between the square pixel computer world and rectangular pixel DV world (I'm sure you're familiar with http://lipas.uwasa.fi/~f76998/video/conversion/>this).
Following the pixel aspect and frame size conversion algorithm exactly in Photoshop, and using Quicktime to convert that to a DV frame, I now get a DV frame that matches the aspect ratio and size of the original PNG image. But the DV image still looks much softer and more pixellated than either the original PNG image or the Photoshop processed image.
To my simple brain, I don't see why the DV encoding algorithm should cause so much image degradation when applying the same algorithm in Photoshop produces a much crisper result. Do DV codecs use poor image resampling algorithms or something?
Is there any way to produce a crisper image in DV? -
HOW DO I STOP THE WHOLE IMESSAGE CONVERSATION FROM AUTOMATICALLY SHOWING WHEN I GO INTO IMESSAGE? I only want the contact bar on the left to show and not the whole conversation, until I pick one to see.
You can't. You can sign out of messages and turn it off, but you can't do what you would like to do. You can send feedback to Apple.
