IPhoto 6.0.5 Thumbnails pics over the top of other photos

I have just returned to my Macbook Pro after a break and in viewing recent photos noticed some were distorted, squashed in shape , and even superimposed over the top of other pics. In other words when viewing in the Library source you see a thumbnail size pic which is not the photo that has been recently imported -
dbl click on it and you get the grey square with an ! mark in the centre.
2/. when selecting an album I get photos mixed with other photos that have no connection with the album. Some of those photos are equally squashed in shape. In fact I have just gone thru all my albums and see they have all been intermingled with photos from other albums.
3/. The roll numbers have also jumped numerically from say 289, 290, 291, to numbers starting 816,817, etc.!!!
Are my problems major in that I should move to trash and start again hopefully importing from my iPod or is there a simple!!! explanation and cure.
All help will be appreciated.

To TD,
Thanks for your helpful reply. I have now rebuilt my iPhoto library as you suggested.
However, I have not found out why my film rolls are being numbered so inconsistently. As I mentioned they were going along fine in a numerical sequence when they started jumping from 3xxs to 8xxs for no apparent reason. In fact having removed some dud pics in the 8xxs range and re-importing from my digital camera (fortunately I hadn't removed them from the flash card) I see my film roll Nos. are going from the 3xxs and jumping to 12xxs & 13xxs !!
Are there any answers to this problem? and can I re-number the rolls or is there some underlying danger in trying to do that?
All help will be appreciated

Is it possible to use the drawing dynamic content to erase an image rather than draw over the top?

I'm trying to create a cover for my magazine that has a chalk board with writing on. I want the user to be able to erase the writing with their finger but can't figure out how to do it. All i can do is draw a solid colour over the top. What i want is for the finger swipe to erase the .png image instead. wondered if it can be done using a mask but I can only get a mask to reveal solid colour not an image.

If the images are exactly the same size then make sure the layer with the mask
is the active layer and in the other documents go to Select>Load Selection and choose
your document with the layer mask under Source document and under channel choose the layer mask.
After the selection loads press the layer mask icon at the bottom of the layers panel.

I backed up my broken ipad, returned it to Apple got it replaced and have now accidently backup'd on my computer over the top of my original Ipad Back up. how do I get previous copy of my back up??

i backed up my broken ipad to my computer yesterday, returned it to Apple & got it replaced today and have now accidently backup'd on my computer over the top of my original Ipad Back up from yesterday. Can anyone advise how do I get previous copy of my back up??

Look at this knowledge base article on iOS backups to iTunes, note where the backups are kept for your type of computer, Windows or Mac, go to that Library location and see if there are any other files with the same name as the current backup but with a different extension and date/time stamp. If so you can edit the extension of the current backup and then change the extension of the previous backup so it looks like what was on the current and the do a restore. iTunes will think the older backup is now new and use it to restore.
If there are no such files then you over-wrote the backup and it is gone.

Can I install ID6 over the top of 5.5 or do I need to uninstall 5.5 first

Field is expanding over the top of the following fields

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but the expanding field expands just fine, but over the top of the next fields. I have two hidden subforms that are displayed when the user clicks a radio button. The subform is flowed. Each of the fields is in a flowed subform with Multiple lines, page breaks and expand to fit checked. The subform for the page is set to flowed as well. Document is saved as dynamic.
Thanks,
MDawn

Hi!
Do you have checked the "Auto fit" checkbox at the Layout tab for the floating subform?

Changing The Speed Dial Icon [Custom Pic For The Top Sites]

how do i change the pic for the top sites on the speed dial. can i use a custom images like on chrome or opera??

You can use virtually any image or link as an email button, the sky is the limit. To do this just insert your image into iweb and click on the inspector button, from here you go to the very last button called the link inspector, enable as a hyperlink and chose an email message. You can then put the url of the email address you wish to link it too. As far as customizing the look I would start with one of the blank page choices. Again to specifically customize the look of your menu or anything else on the page use the inspector. If you want to create your own menu there is an option not to display navigation on your page, and this allows you to have complete control of how your page looks. Create a simple page, open up the inspector, and have some fun creating your own pages. Hope this helps.

Mountain Lion Notes App missing (IT installed Lotus Notes over the top)

My IT department installed Lotus Notes and it installed over the top of the Mountain Lion Notes application and thus deleted it. I renamed the Lotus Notes application (originally just called Notes). How do I get the original OSX notes application back?

Ok, found the solution, download mountain lion from the app store once more, then use Pacifist to extract the notes appllication again.

Is it possible to create a 'layer' over the top of a PDF in Captivate?

I am trying to integrate a 3dpdf within captivate 8 for a software training program, for this it is important to retain functionality to the pdf menu, Captivate handles this well : ) HOWEVER on importing the pdf it becomes clear that the pdf 'trumps' other objects such as clickable areas or text, which therefore don't seem to appear when published. I also wish to provide 'blocked' areas by putting transparent objects over the top of the pdf so as to control the learning process, which also doesn't seem possible on initial inspection.
Does the PDF exist outside the timeline?
Does anyone know how to layer objects over a pdf object that will remain there when published?
Many thanks!
Sam the Giraffe

How/where do you want to accomplish it?
Within the document? Using Acrobat? Using another application?
Using Acrobat within the document would be possible using Acrobat JavaScript. You can access the annotation objects of your document, and you then can evaluate the properties of each of these objects. Have a closer look at the Annotation Object section in the Acrobat JavaScript documentation.
You will look for the contents property, and evaluate its content. When you have found something looking like a URL, you can create a link (using the rect property of the annotation), and you have what you want; you might then think to destroy the annotation, as it may overlay the link.
Hope this can help.

I need some help taking my site over the top.

“Do only what is necessary to convey what is essential. Carefully eliminate elements that distract from the essential whole, elements that obstruct and obscure....Clutter, bulk, and erudition confuse perception and stifle comprehension, whereas simplicity allows clear and direct attention." — Richard Powell, in his book +Wabi Sabi Simple+.
"One of the biggest mistakes typical business people make with documents is going out of their way to seemingly use every centimeter of space on a page, filling it up with text, boxes, clip art, charts, footers, etc. Space, often called "white space," is good. Embrace it. Use it. Often, the more space you don't use on a page, the clearer your message becomes.
Empty space is beautiful, yes. But empty space also implies importance, elegance, professionalism. This is true with graphic design, but you can see the importance of space (both visual and physical) in the context of interior design. Think of the retail space, for example. Target is dedicated to design although they are a discounter. They know about space. Target stores are well designed. They have more empty space than other discounters, Walmart, for example."

Trying to place one item over the top of another

I am using DW CS3 and I am trying to create a banner (of pictures) and over the top of that I want text-only logo to appear above and drop down to overlap the top of the pictures. I'm sure there is some easy way to do this, but everything I try doesn't work. I can get the text behind the pictures but not in front of them. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I have attached a .gif image so you can see what I want it to look like.

Gary,
I do understand that it is easier if I send a link to what I'm trying to do; however, I am just beginning the designing so it is pretty much a blank slate. Here is what I have in mind:
I have The Nook Cafe as a logo image .gif that I want to place over a banner of pictures I have that are individual pictures placed within a container, this is what I am thinking:
#header
this would contain text for the upper right corner
#headerlogo
this would contain The Nook Text image
#photos
this div would contain the photos
#photo1
#photo2
etc...
So this is what i have tried:
<div id="header">
<div id="headerlogo">
<div id="photos"> <div id="photo1"></div><div id="photo2"></div><div id="photo3"></div>
</div></div></div>
then I played with the z value and the margin settings.....all to no avail.
Does this make more sense? As you can see I am lost as to how to accomplish the overall look I am going after.

I'm trying to multi-track using an m-audio device, I can record my guitar fine. However, I want to create a new track so I can record an acoustic tambourine over the top. Instead it records the original guitar as well as tambourine? its really annoying

I'm trying to multi-track using an m-audio device, I can record my guitar fine. However, I want to create a new track so I can record an acoustic tambourine over the top. Instead it records the original guitar as well as the tambourine coming out with a really distorted sound. I've managed to record over the top of a guitar before and add diferent riffs and sounds but I've tried all of the settings but its still not working. Basically I want to record different tracks without it recording my previous guitar riffs as well. Help would really be appreciated.

Ah that was it, thanks a lot common sense really but thanks for the help

Can I load OSX 10.6.8 over the top of my old OSX 10.5.8?

If you mean can you upgrade your Leopard system to Snow Leopard? See:
Snow Leopard General requirements
Mac computer with an Intel processor
1GB of memory
5GB of available disk space
DVD drive for installation
Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
If your computer meets the requirements, then you can upgrade to Snow Leopard.

Arrrghhh saved over the top - autorecovery??

Something I've not done for YEARS! But had an action that creats a duplicate file which was spitting the dummy on saving - so had to stop creating a dupe, and then forgot that I'd done that. So I've just saved a low res flat version over the top of my high res layered work file. Theres an several hours rectouching there I'd rather not do. Now theres no autorecovery file in the usual location:
my question is is it possible the autorecovery file is still there on the disk and could be recovered? Any other suggestions?

Please tell me you still have Photoshop with the recently saved file 'Open' with no further changes made. If that is the case, a simple 'Undo' will work!
If not, I doubt there is a way.
AFAIK, Autorecovery is recreated and reset everytime you manually 'save' the file.
Well, unless you had a Time Machine drive or some similar real-time backup enabled, I don't think there is a possibility to recover.
There are disk recovery tools that recover data for you - as when you save over a file you don't delete old data - you're just creating incremental data to your file partition. But, this is a 50:50 probability. Depends on what activity your disk has gone through since the last save and lot of other aspects.
Sorry, tough luck.

In iphoto, when I go to events on the top bar, all the options come up in grey so I can't create a new event. I did one a while ago but ever since, have had this problem. Anyone got a solution or know why this happened?
