Issues with PhotoBooth Backgrounds

Hi:
If I go into photobooth and try to take a picture with the PARIS background or any of the new background, when I get in front of the camera I pixelate. It doesnt pick me up too in the photo, all u see is black pixelation, its not working right. Any idea on how to clear this up??
Thanks.

Practically everyone is having problems with these new backgrounds in iChat and Photo-booth.
No one has had a perfect picture, with pixelation and holes when you see an image of yourself.
The demo on Apple web-site has a clear picture with these new backgrounds, but everyone else is having an issue.
Different ones have tried light's in different positions and moving them around, including trying a green/blue/red screens which improve a little. Perhaps an Apple update might resolve this issue.

Issues with slide background. Help!

Okay I am updating a lesson on how to do a function in a program that the company i worked for developed. They changed some facets of the interface and this required me to update the background and some of the images in the software simulation. To try and expedite the process I tried to copy in screen shots of the backgrounds from the new simulation to the old lesson so that I wouldn't have to mess with the other objects in the lesson (narration, highlight boxes, captions, etc.) and now I have a problem.
The new backgrounds seem to behave perfectly normal except for during playthrough. At the very end of the slide parts of the old background come back up on screen even though they no longer exist in the library or presentation at all. I did merge the new screen shots in to the slide background so I know that isn't the issue.
I can't show very much of the background (privacy issues) but this is what it's supposed to look like and what it does look like until the very end.
Here is what it looks like when it "screws up". I think it might have something to do with some kind of recorded animation since the only parts of the old background that come back are parts of the background that the user had to interact with during the original lesson.

Hello,
Not easy to reply before having a good idea of the issues. Perhaps some suggestions:
about the changed background: do you have access to image edting software (such as Photoshop)? If yes, did you try the option to Edit the Background instead of copy a new background?
was it a training simulation, am asking this because you talk about interaction? Then you should see extra objects on the Timeline on top of the background. Do you have them? If yes can you check the timing, the transition of these objects?
about the 'typing objects', if that is what you pointing at; you cannot delete them, but you can replace them with a Text animation (right-click on the typing object in the Timeline). This animation can be changed and can also be deleted, perhaps to replace it by a Text Entry Box (where the user has to enter the text).
Hope this makes sense and perhaps could give you some extra ideas?

Why am I having issues with the background image here?

What this is supposed to do is show background image colBg2.png as a column extending from the top of the viewport to the bottom, whether there's enough text to fill it or not. If it doesn't, then it shouldn't produce a scrollbar. It uses 100% vertical height hacks, as demonstrated in the code above.
When there's more text than the viewport can handle, there's a scrollbar, and the colBg2 successfully scrolls along with the text contained in colText. HOWEVER... when that background scrolls upwards so we can go down the page, it stops tiling. It stops wherever the viewport ends.
If I stretch the window to reveal more of the column, no problem. It tiles just fine, and extends all the way to the end of the screen. But not if I scroll down.
Anyone know if I'm doing anything wrong with this code, or if there's an obvious fix that isn't occuring to me?

I was just about to prepare that for you guys when I had a quick flash to try applying the background image directly to the table instead
of a containing div. I'm sure there was a reason I used a containing div to begin with, but can't for the life of me remember why right now. I'm sure it'll hit me at some point and I'll probably be back here when it does, but so far eliminating the containing div altogether has produced the desired effect. =)

Trouble with css background

Hey guys, I am having trouble with some code. I have nested divs inside of a container dive for the body copy, but I am having trouble with the background of the container div going behind the nested divs. I only have this issue with the background when I go to float the nested divs.
Below is a copy of my html and a copy of my linked css style sheet.

Issue with desktop Opt/Click (right click) & 'Change Desktop Background'

I have an issue with the opt/click in the desktop in ML 10.8.2. The 'Change Desktop Background' using opt/click (right click) works after reboot, but fails to open (work correctly) thereafter. The 'System Preferences' icon bounces in the dock but nothing else happens, I have either click on the SP icon or re-opt/click (R click) again to get it working. All else seems to be in order but not this. I have tried this with 2 complete full installs & still doesn't work correctly (same issue. I have reported it to Apple, but I was wondering if anyone else experiencing this problem?

So, here's what I've learned so far.
Fresh reboot. Works fine. Close and try again, doesn't work. This you already know.
Here's what I tried to see if it makes a difference:
I removed:
~/Library/Caches
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.*, com.apple.systempreferences.* and com.apple.desktop.*
That didn't help.
I tried it in safe mode. Same issue.
Here's something interesting I noticed. If you open terminal and killall Finder, that refreshes it and makes it work again... for 1 try.
This does, in fact, seem like a bug.
For reference, I'm currently on a mid 2012 macbook pro. Running fully updated on mt lion.

Issue with background job--taking more time

Hi,
We have a custom program which runs as the background job. It runs every 2 hours.
Itu2019s taking more time than expected on ECC6 SR2 & SR3 on Oracle 10.2.0.4. We found that it taking more time while executing native SQL on DBA_EXTENTS. When we tried to fetch less number of records from DBA_EXTENTS, it works fine.
But we need the program to fetch all the records.
But it works fine on ECC5 on 10.2.0.2 & 10.2.0.4.
Here is the SQL statement:
EXEC SQL PERFORMING SAP_GET_EXT_PERF.
SELECT OWNER, SEGMENT_NAME, PARTITION_NAME,
         SEGMENT_TYPE, TABLESPACE_NAME,
         EXTENT_ID, FILE_ID, BLOCK_ID, BYTES
   FROM SYS.DBA_EXTENTS
   WHERE OWNER LIKE 'SAP%'
   INTO
   : EXTENTS_TBL-OWNER, :EXTENTS_TBL-SEGMENT_NAME,
   :EXTENTS_TBL-PARTITION_NAME,
   :EXTENTS_TBL-SEGMENT_TYPE , :EXTENTS_TBL-TABLESPACE_NAME,
   :EXTENTS_TBL-EXTENT_ID, :EXTENTS_TBL-FILE_ID,
   :EXTENTS_TBL-BLOCK_ID, :EXTENTS_TBL-BYTES
ENDEXEC.
Can somebody suggest what has to be done?
Has something changed in SAP7 (wrt background job etc) or do we need to fine tune the SQL statement?
Regards,
Vivdha

Hi,
there was an issue with LMT's but that was fixed in 10.2.0.4
besides missing system statistics:
But WHY do you collect every 2 hours this information? The dba_extents view is based on really heavy used system tables.
Normally , you would start queries of this type against dba_extents ie. to identify corrupt blocks and such:
SELECT owner , segment_name , segment_type
        FROM dba_extents
       WHERE file_id = &AFN
         AND &BLOCKNO BETWEEN block_id AND block_id + blocks -1
Not sure what you want to achieve with it.
There are monitoring tools (OEM ?) around that may cover your needs.

Virsa CC 5.1: Issue with Background Job

Dear All,
I almost finished configuration of our new Compliance Calibrator dashboard (Java stack of NW'04). But, unfortunately, have an issue with SoD analysis now.
Using SAP Best Practice recommendations, we have uploaded all functions, business processes and risks into CC database, and then successfully generated new rules (there are about 190 active ones in our Analysis Engine).
I also configured JCo to R/3 backend and was able to extract the full list of our users, roles and profiles. But somehow background analysis job fails.
In job history table I see the following message: "Error while executing the Job:null", and in job log there is an entry, saying that "Daemon idle time longer than RFC time out, terminating daemon 0". But it's quite strange, as we use default values: RFC Time Out = 30 min, and daemons are invoked every 60 seconds.
Please, advise whether you had similar issues in your SAP environment and, if yes, how you resolved them.
Thanks,
Laziz

Hi Laziz
I am now just doing the first part of CC. May I know your details in how to configured Jco To R/3 Backend? Do you need to create any SM59 for connection T in R/3? If yes, I am lacking of the details to do that if you could help? Thank you.
Regards
Florence

Issues with PDF files having BLACK backgrounds

I am having issues with scans and pdf files opening with BLACK backgrounds and the files not being useable. Any hints on how to prevent this. I have Windows 8 and the latest version of Acrobat Reader.

the change was made in firefox 25 - that's why you're currently seeing this behaviour only in firefox beta. the general release for firefox 25 is scheduled for next week. <br>i originally also thought to recommend the pdf.js-addon as an alternative but i found it to be very slow on my android too. unfortunately i don't know of any other solution currently.

How to fix issue with saving flattened PNG32 with transparent background?

Using CS6 on a 15 inch MacBook Pro. When I save a layer as a flattened PNG file, the transparency is not preserved and I see a white background. Tried using the export option with the same result.
I originally switched from CS5 to CS6 to address this issue itself. It worked the first time after fresh install. However has stopped working since then. Seems like a bug in the software.
Can anyone help find a way to address this?
Thanks

I have the same issue with CS6, Can't export transparent PNG 32 or transparent PNG 8, can't go back to CS5 because then I can't use the CSS generation tool... So I need to use CS5.x to create the transparent PNG and I need to use CS6 to create the CSS... Bah this is an awful workflow. I don't know why Adobe has never been able to get transparent PNG's correct. Between photoshop and fireworks there is so much confusion with the PNG 8, PNG 24, PNG 32, what is transparent, what isn't transparent.... It's a joke. Fireworks is such a better program for web design than Photoshop yet this is the one thing that has been holding Fireworks back and it's still doing it. GIANT PITA!

Having background issues with IOS 7.1

Hello I am having issues with the IOS 7.1 update for the iPhone 5 screen background. The issue is that the bottom 4 apps are lettered in black also the box that is surrounding the 4 bottom apps are grey and is not giving the blurred out background effect. I have tried restoring my iphone to factory settings and then restoring to a back up and this does not fix the issues. I have also changed the backround picture to something what should give me the white lettering (i.e. black) and this does not fix the issues. I have even set the background picuter to the advertised IOS 7 background and this still does not fix the issues. If there is anything else that I can do please let me know.

Look at Settings > General > Accessibility.
The first eleven settings there are under the "Vision" category. Check that at least the first ten of those eleven are "Off".

Issue with Compliance Calibrator 5.2 SP9 Background Jobs

Hello,
I'm having an issue with Compliance Calibrator 5.2 SP9 where If I run a role analysis as a background job that has the same parameters as a previously run role analysis background job, the second job that is run will display a failure message. It does not appear to matter if the similar background jobs were run by the same individual or separate individuals. As long as the job that was previously run is still in the background job history, than any job with the same parameters run by a user will fail.
Is this normal operation for CC?
Is there a configuration change that could allow a job to be rerun in the background multiple times?
Is there a fix for this issue in a later support pack or with upgrade to 5.3?
Thanks for the help it's much appreciated,

To better clarify what is occurring, the 1st job will run and complete successfully and return/display the appropriate results correctly. The 2nd job will than be subsequently kicked off and finish same as with the previous job except when you open the background results no data is displayed and the message at the bottom reads: Failed to display result. To make more sense of what Iu2019m doing, these are the logical steps Iu2019m following:
1. Select Role Level analysis
2. Enter parameters for analysis
3. Schedule background job to run immediately
4. View background job results (successful job and correct results)
5. Select Role Level analysis (with same or any other user)
6. Enter same parameters as step 2 for analysis
7. Schedule background job to run immediately
8. View background job results (successful job, but the error message: u2018Failed to display resultu2019, instead of seeing the CC reports)
I believe the error is somewhere in the running of a job with the same parameters (Same Role and same Report Type). If I delete the previous jobs from the background history that have the parameters Iu2019m using and try the analysis again, a third time, with the same parameters as before, it will run successfully and display the correct results.
Is this normal and acceptable operation for CC5.2 SP9?
Is there a configuration change that would allow a job to be run in the background multiple times with the correct CC results?
Is there a fix for this issue in a later support pack or with upgrade to 5.3?

Issue with Visibility Settings for Backgrounds and Layers

I am using Acrobat Pro XI 11.0.10 (Windows) and having an issue with visibility settings for layers and backgrounds. I am attempting to get backgrounds to appear while viewing in Adobe Reader and Acrobat Pro but not be printed and so far have had no success.
When using a background the Appearance Options dialogue has "Show when printing" unchecked, but "Show when displaying on screen" is checked. This results in the background not showing on the screen, and the background will only appear once the box for "Show when printing" is checked. It looks like the option for printing is dictating whether or not the background is able to appear.
Using layers has not worked either. The background layer is set to "Never Prints", but will still show up when printed.
I was wondering if anyone else has run into this and has a solution, or has any recommendations.
Thanks in advance.

Hi setrev2012,
How are you adding the backgroud?
The only way I can think to accomplish this is via a watermark.
The basics...
Open PDF in Acrobat. Choose Pages > Watermark > Add Watermark.
Select a jpg or PDF of your background and adjust scaling options as desired.
Then click the Appearance Options.. and uncheck the Show When Printing option.
In this image the PDF is a blank page with the word "Test" on it. The watermark is the stamp and impression (a stock photo jpg).
If you want a solid color background, just create a flat image of the background color for use as the watermark.
If you have already followed the steps and still facing the issue then please share the file with me at [email protected] so that i can have a look.
Regards,
Rave

Photos with transparent background weird issue in album

There is something very strange happening
What I did
I saved two images that had transparent background
When I view it in my photo album the thumbnail shows the image but for the "background" it is some other random photo that isn't even in my camera roll! It just shows up only when I save these images with transparent background. This happened for two images and the photos showing up are different (from the same night because I can see who is in it).
When I view these images larger, the background photos do not appear , so it is very strange
I took a screen shot of this too and would like to send to apple support

I would not really expect AppleTv to handle transparency in an image, though maybe it does and this is some kind of bug.
I would regard transparency handling as a non-basic feature to be honest, one that the majority of users will not expect to use or use.
Does iPhoto handle transparency properly?
Send feedback to:

It may be something they can add fairly easily, but it may not either.
Don't expect a reply from that link.

How do I export an animation from Photoshop with no background, to use in after effects?

Its been a few years since I've used photoshop and after effects together so hoping you can remind me how to do this.
I'm trying to export an animation created in photohop, its frame by frame, no background. I've been exporting it as an image sequence, now I"ve coloured it I need to solve this transparency issue.
Is there a way to export it to use in after effects on top of a background layer.
So I just want to see the character, no background, animation on top of my background layer in after effects, does that make sense??
Please don't say I need to have an alpha channel on each frame, that will take ages, there must be another way.
Please help I need to sort this ASAP
Thanks in advance!

Thanks!
So this makes sense, I tried it, when I import into after effects (here is the psd.)
I get this window not sure what to be selecting, but I tried different things and it still isn't importanting as literally the animation with no background, have I missed something? whats strange is that when I import the psd, what does import is a strange monatage of snippets of the video I'm making in afterfx, not the completely separate animation i made in photoshop which I'm trying to work into the video.
very perplexing! any more help is much appreciated.
Thanks

Maddening issue with text... trapping?

I have recently taken over as acting editor for a PDF-only publication with a very small audience. My previous experience with InDesign has been with preparing files for CMYK printing, so this is my first opportunity to prepare a document specifically for on-screen display.
I am using a background image on several pages within the document. However, it would seem that no matter what I do, the resulting PDF does some funny things to the text.
I have trapping turned off throughout the document, all my text is created from the [black] swatch, and I've specified "overprint fill" in the attributes menu just for good measure. However, no matter how I export my PDF, I get one of two issues:
(1) With "convert to destination" selected and a CMYK colorspace as the destination, OR with "no color conversion" selected, I end up with trapped text on pages that have a background image, even though the background image only covers a portion of the page. Pages with no background image display text properly.
(2) with "convert to destination" selected and an RGB colorspace as the destination, I end up with trapped text on pages that have a background image, but only where the background image does NOT appear.
This is confusing because, in each instance, there's no valid reason for InDesign or Acrobat to display a trap. I've tried creating a trap setting with 0pt specified for the trap, and it doesn't help. See http://www.caves.org/grotto/lrg/images/indesign_frustrations.png for a screenshot of the issue.
What on earth is going on? I just want overprinting black text to display as untrapped black text, and none of my export options seem to allow the PDF to appear as it does when I have "overprint preview" selected within InDesign. It's imperative that the text be crisp and legible on-screen, and the bloated, messy trapped-looking text is much more difficult to read at "fit page" -level zooms of less than 100%.
I'm using InDesign CS3 on a Windows machine running Vista 64 with 6MB of RAM. I have not observed any other problems with the CS3 family of products. The font being utilized is Adobe Garamond Pro.
thanks in advance to anyone who can shed light on the issue.
on my last nerve,
jeff

I don't think you are seeing trapping I think you are seeing the results of flattening due to the use of transparency. Some text is either rasterized or converted to outlines. When outlined, text appears heavier because it does not benefit from hinting. You can reduce the use of transparency effects, export to a transparency-savvy version of PDF, or put the text above the transparency issues.
I suggest a combination. Make a layer for the text above other layers and put all the text there that you can without mucking up the layout. Export to Acrobat 5 (PDF 1.4) or higher to avoid flattening.
