ITunes Image Optimization

Is there a purpose for image optimization? Why won't Apple let it's users decide to optimize photos or not?

Optimization probably means that the iPhone is creating a thumbnail and reducing the original image size if needed. With up to 12 Mpixel cameras on the market, there is no need for the iPhone to store an image at full resolution. This would needlessly fill the iPhone's 8GB storage quickly. Instead, the iPhone reduces image size to somewhat larger than the 640x480 screen (and 640x480 TV out) so you can still zoom if needed. Thumbnails are created for quick album viewing.
Apple's simplicity of having this iPhone process happen automatically is the right solution in my opinion. There is no benefit of user's deciding to store photos with greater file sizes than needed or not to create thumbnails. (For reference, I like to tinker as I use both Aperture and Photoshop.)

  • How do i move my itunes image to a new PC? Without losing my Data

    How do i move my itunes image to a new PC? Without losing my Data

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have failed to move contacts and calendar items across you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

    You do not. You have to restore the iPod. You can then restoe from backup and get to where you were when the the last backups was made.

    Hi, I was backing up my iPad 2 and it gave me an error message. Since then, my iPad has been dead or should I say, STUCK. The screen shows the iTunes image with an image of a USB cable under it with an arrow pointing towards the iTunes icon. I haven't been able to get it to unfreeze and when I connect it to iTunes, iTunes doesn't give me the option to Sync or Restore. It actually just goes into the iTunes Store section and I can't access the part I need. Please help! Thank You!!!!!

    You may need to put the iPad in recovery mode to restore it.

  • Movie files saved as iTunes image

    When I save movie files on my computer now they are saved as .mov but they have the iTunes image. They now open in iTunes when double clicked. My permissions are fine and the disk utility finds nothing wrong with the system or hard drives. The only way I can fix the problem is to get info and change the file to open with Quicktime. Anyone have a solution for this? I do not want my movies files to play in iTunes. I want then to play in Quicktime.

    Depends on where they originated or something new set in QT 7.1+. Launch QT Player and note that the movie trailers point to the music store and not to http://www.apple.com/trailers/. I guess they're looking to get your nickels.

  • ITunes does not display my feed image as defined in the itunes:image tag

    I set up a feed using a custom PHP script I wrote. This script creates an rss file that I will submit to apple once I have everything ironed out. right now the only thing left to fix is the missing feed image. I checked the xml and for the image I have:
    *<itunes:image href="http://www.roaringbrookbaptistchurch.org/podcasts/feed/images/feedIcon.jp g" />*
    I checked the image in a browser and it indeed exists and displays as expected, this is a test image not the final one. It is a 600x600 jpg. I am previewing my podcast in itunes using a direct link to this rss file.
    Why is my image not showing up? I get some other image, not sure where it comes from, instead.

    When you subscribe to a podcast feed, either from the Store or - as I assume you have done - from the 'Advanced' menu, the image referred to in that tag is not displayed. The images which are seen on selecting each episode have to be embedded in the actual media file: please see this page -
    http://homepage.mac.com/rfwilmut/notes/faq.html#coverart
    You will not see the image referenced in the feed until the podcast is actually accepted and shows in the Store.

    This feed is generated by Quick Blogcast.
    I am not sure exactly when or why but at some point the iTS stopped displaying the image.
    I tried changing the image (300x300 .JPG) with different file name in the podcast feed source.
    Waited a few days.

  • Any way to repair iPad that has USB -- iTunes image without a computer?

    My parents‘ iPad won't boot and just shows a USB--> iTunes image.  They are using the iPad as their sole computer for a few months and are currently traveling, so they really need it. Is there any way to fix their iPad without hooking it up to another computer, or do they need to wait until they can get to an Apple store?

    Sorry, but there is no way activate the iPad, update the software, restore, etc. without connecting to iTunes on a computer.

  • Image Optimization for POD

    Attempting to optimize a few images for a POD book, but consistency in image quality is the perrenial problem with POD. Received the first proof copy containing 24 black and white 7cm x 7cm images, all from the original publisher (we're doing a licensed translation) and seemingly of consistent qualitiy. 4 images turned out brilliant, and the rest, beyond mediocre, just inferior.
    The photo files are EPS. All are showing as grayscale except for 2 which are color space RGB (Adobe RGB profile). Of those two, one is terrible like the majority (flat, washed out, looks almost solarized) and the other is brilliant. The other 3 images printing well, are in grayscale, so RGB doesn't seem to be conclusively part of the answer or problem.
    All the rest are grayscale, and in ID the profiles show as NA.
    Other than abandoning POD (impossible now, and past projects with similar images have turned out well), what can be done, what are the fundamentals of image optimization for this printing process?
    Thank you for the input.
    Luca

    I assume that by POD you are referring to Print On Demand?
    Quite frankly, the “problems” would seem to be more an issue of GIGO – Garbage In, Garbage Out – than anything to do directly with the file format of the images, especially if those images are monochrome.
    I would strongly agree with Bob Levine in terms of EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) being an archaic file format. That having been said, a properly prepared photographic image with proper exposure, contrast, and resolution saved as EPS from Photoshop and placed in InDesign should render no differently than a TIFF, JPEG, or PDF (depending upon the compression used in the EPS) image without any ICC profiles placed into an InDesign document. I seriously doubt that simply converting your EPS files to TIFF would help in any way whatsoever, although in the process of simply opening the images in Photoshop, you might see what the real quality (or lack thereof) of the images is.
    Many problems associated modern day monochrome images today is the fact that most such images were shot digitally as color images as opposed to being shot on black and white film. Unfortunately, there is no single conversion of color to monochrome that is optimal for all images. Much depends upon the exposure, light contrast, and especially the color contrasts within the original color image. In the days of analog film photography, professional photographers often used color filters with black and white film to deal with the issues of color contrast (for example, yellow and orange filters for outdoor scenic shots to provide for a darker sky with deeper contrast with the clouds, the “big sky” effect). Converting color digital images to monochrome by using the simplest Photoshop tools without regards to image content will definitely yield many suboptimal, washed-out looking images.
    Also, after applying one or another of the Photoshop conversions to monochrome, the image usually is still RGB. One needs to then convert the image that looks grayscale to actual grayscale. Otherwise, you end up with an RGB image for which for every pixel R=G=B, a situation which could lead to some “interesting” and likely undesirable printed output, especially if printed on a color device.
    Another issue to consider is one of color management. Whether one wants it or understands it, color management is really always on in Adobe applications. If you don't use profiles and the wrong assumption is made with regards to the color space of content, you can get suboptimal results, in grayscale such results being muddiness, poor contrast, etc. And to get back to the file format issue, EPS doesn't support ICC color management directly.
