IWeb Newbie Question: Removing "Drag Image Here" Placeholder

Hi,
I'm new to iWeb and creating my website for the first time. I've added an audio file to one of my pages, but I'm not sure how to remove the "Drag Image Here" placeholder from that file in the work area. I realize the placeholder doesn't show up on the actual website if I don't put any image in there, but the placeholder still clutters up the workspace where I'm designing the page.
Is there any way to remove that placeholder?
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.
Regards,
Keith

just try this simple method. it will not get rid of the placeholder - but it will hide it a make your iWeb building easier:
1. from the "forms" button choose a square
2. make it the background color or the color where the audio is placed, using the inspector!
3. Using the right-click or Ctrl-Left Mouse Click send the audio file to the very back.
4. make sure that the navigation bar is still at the very front and nothing covers it - because otherwise you cannot use it!
5. you might wanna check here for simple tutorials to help you:

Want to Remove "drag photo here" in background and have nothing

Hi there,
I am using idvd 4 and the "Transparent Black Theme". I don't want to drag a photo onto the background, but just have it grey. I burned my dvd and it had the words "drag photo or movie here" in the background still. How do I take those words off?
Thanks!

okay, so there is no option in idvd to remove
"drag photo..." ?
Sure there is...
It will just appear unless I drag
something into that space?
... and this is the option.

Newbie question about dragging

Hi there,
I'm trying to create an Apollo application where I can move
buttons around a canvas. When I try the code below, my entire
canvas/application ends up moving with the button:
<mx:Canvas width="100%" height="100%">
<mx:Button x="10" y="10" label="Test Button"
mouseDown="startDrag()" mouseUp="stopDrag()"/>
</mx:Canvas>
</mx:ApolloApplication>
I also tried the DragManager object, but it seems that it
only detects the current button as a valid drop target. How can I
reposition a button within a canvas?
Thanks,
Charles

Can't drag images into "album" on iWeb gallery

I use iWeb 08
I am able to drag individual images to the page but I cannot seem to drag albums, multiple images to the "drag albums here" section. I drag them and there is a green "plus" sign but the page/ "drag albums here" space doesn't accept the images. Am I able to drag albums from Aperture or do the albums have to be from iPhoto?
Can't figure out what Im doing wrong...

Hi Boogieon,
I'm having the same issue!
I have loads of Albums in iPhoto I wish to add to some Albums templates in an iWeb website.
I'm trying to drag and album (or individual picture) to the Album frame, I get the green "+" icon and the number of pics, I release it over the Album frame and...nothing, except the icon slides back to the Media browser. It's been driving me mad!
Gonna keep an eye out on this!

Total Newbie Question ... Sorry :-(

I know it's a windows thing, and I am now converted to Mac but I gotta know this because it's doing my head in. It's a complete stupid green gilled newbie question.
When installing new programs on a Mac can you create shortcuts to the programs on the Dock? I did what I THOUGHT it would be, i.e I made an Alias and stuck it in the dock, but on rebooting my Mac later on, in place of the shortcuts where 3 question marks which when clicked on did absolutely nothing???
Help?

You aren't installing something from a dmg file are you? The dmg is a disk image – kind of a virtual CD. So when you double click the dmg and then get the little disk/hardrive/custom icon on your desktop that is the same as if you had mounted a CD. You then need to drag the application off of that "CD" into your application folder. Then it is truly installed.
You can then "eject" the icon your your desktop. This is what happens when you shutdown and without remounting the image your dock shortcut can't find the original.
Just a thought.

Iweb/podcast question

I created a podcast using Audacity. i forgot to put the artist name in the id3 tag. now when i go to iTunes the artist name says UNKNOWN. Who do i change this?
i used iweb to make my website, and used the podcast page to post my podcast. the RSS feed was given to me by iweb.
that is the only thing wrong with my podcast. do i need to edit the RSS feed? if i do, how do i do this?
sorry for the newbie question.
thanx,
Mj Timothy Scott

No, unfortunately not. Not through iWeb, not by any means. If any kind of media can be displayed in a browser - be it audio, video, or still images - it can be downloaded or saved locally by the viewer.
It's the old adage...Where there's the will, there's a way.

How to remove selected image from a light table?

According to the Aperture User Manual, when I select an image on a light table, I should be able to remove it (while still leaving it in the light table browser). However, this seems to work only for the image I most recently added to the light table -- when I select an image I added just before the most recent, the button at the upper left for "Light Table Put Back Selected" is grayed out. (Also, the command-shift-P shortcut shown in the tooltip doesn't do anything.) Am I misunderstanding the use of this button? Doing something wrong? I added some images, and decided I wanted to put a few of them back, but can't figure out a way to do that. Makes the light table pretty useless except for layout of a set of images you are already committed to. Doesn't seem possible.

Hey, thanks -- everything worked as you described. It never would have occurred to me that the "put back" button refers to the browser selection not the layout selection, for reasons I give below.
I think Aperture exhibits some conceptual confusion here. First of all, a "light table" is created by the New > Light Table command, and you add images to the newly created light table just as you would add them to an album. But those images don't go on the light table layout until you drag them from the browser to the layout table. The "put back" button and "remove from light table" contextual menu command both mean remove from the layout. The phrasing of the contextual menu command make it sounds as if it will remove the clicked image from the light table's collection of images, like removing an image from an album -- it would have made more sense to name this command "put back". Furthermore, the "put back" button is above the layout display, not above the browser, which to me implies that it applies to selections in the layout display. To select an image in the browser, and click "put back selected" seems backwards -- if you just selected the image in the browser, your attention is focused on the browser, not the layout; from the browser's point of view, the button should read "bring back" not "put back".
The documentation didn't really help when I was trying to figure this out. Sometimes the Aperture documentation refers to just a "light table", as on the overview on page 732. On pages 733 and 734, though, it refers to a "light table album". On page 735 of the Aperture manual there is a very brief explanation of how "to add images to the light table" and "to remove an image from the light table". Here, "light table" refers to the layout not the album. The explanation of the "Put Back Selected" button says to select an image then click the button, and the picture shown is of an image selected in the layout, not in the browser.

RV042G Newbie Questions

I have the new Cisco RV042G router, and I have just a few "newbie questions" about it as I get started using it:
The firmware on board is v4.2.1.02. Since this is a brand new router, is that the latest firmware?
Under Time>DST Dates, what do I need to configure in there? I'm in the US, Central Time.
I want to use Back to My Mac from iCloud (formerly MobileMe). Under the iCloud preferances pane on my Mac, it's saying: "Back to My Mac may be slow because NAT Port Mapping (NAT-PMP) or Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is turned off on your router. Turn on NAT-PMP or UPnP." What should I enable on my router in order for Back to My Mac to better function?
I'm using a VOIP phone on the network (only 1 device with a couple phones). Are there any QoS settings I should tweak for better performance of my VOIP phone? I did change the port the VOIP phone is connected to to High (instead of Normal) under Port Settings. Will this help boost performance?
I also want to setup a VLAN on a port for guests to access the Internet, but not have any access to my personal network. Here's the steps I've done so far. Is this sufficient or is there anything else I need to do?
I went to Setup>Network, enabled Multiple Subnets.
I added 192.168.254.1/255.255.255.0 as a subnet.
I went to Port Management>Port Setup, set the port I wanted to use (Port 4) to VLAN2.
I went to Firewall>Access Rules, added two rules:
Deny All Traffic from 192.168.254.0 to 192.168.1.0.
Deny All Traffic from 192.168.1.0 to 192.168.1.0.
Thanks everyone for your help!

Easy. just goto the DHCP field and fill in the Static DHCP fields.
Assigning static IP addresses by adding devices from a list
Click Show unknown MAC addresses. The IP & MAC binding list appears. If the web browser displays a message about the pop-up window, allow the blocked content.
The devices are listed by the IP address and the MAC address. (Typically the MAC address appears on a label on the bottom panel or back panel of a device.) If needed, you can clickRefresh to update the data.To select a device, first enter a descriptive Name. Then check the Enable box. Alternatively, select all devices in the list by clicking the check box at the top of the Enable column.
Click OK to add the devices to the Static IP list, or click Close to close the pop-up window without adding the selected devices. After you click OK, a message appears. The message includes important information. Read it before clicking OK. Keep the browser open and wait until the selected MAC addresses appear in the Static IP list.
Modify or remove list entries, as needed:
To modify the settings: Click a device in the list. The information appears in the text fields. Make the changes, and then click Update. If you do not need to make changes, you can click Add New to de-select the entry and clear the text fields.
To delete an entry from the list: Click the entry that you want to delete, and then clickDelete. To select a block of entries, click the first entry, hold down the Shift key, and then click the final entry in the block. To select individual entries, press the Ctrl key while clicking each entry. To de-select an entry, press the Ctrl key while clicking the entry.
Assigning static IP addresses by entering devices manuallyIn the Static IP Address section, add or edit entries as needed. Remember that the settings are not saved until you click the Save button.
To add a new device to the list: Enter the following information, and then click Add to list.
Static IP Address: Enter the static IP address. You can enter 0.0.0.0 if you want the router to assign a static IP address to the device.
MAC Address: Enter the MAC address of the device. (Typically the MAC address appears on a label on the bottom panel or the back panel of a device.) Enter the address without punctuation.
Name: Enter a descriptive name for the device.
Enable: Check this box to assign the static IP address to this device.
To add another new entry: Enter the information, and then click Add to list.
To modify the settings: Click a device in the list. The information appears in the text fields. Make the changes, and then click Update. If you do not need to make changes, you can clickAdd New to de-select the entry and clear the text fields.
To delete an entry from the list: Click the entry that you want to delete, and then click Delete. To select a block of entries, click the first entry, hold down the Shift key, and then click the final entry in the block. To select individual entries, press the Ctrl key while clicking each entry. To de-select an entry, press the Ctrl key while clicking the entry.
Using the Static IP List to Block Devices
You can use the Static IP list to control access to your network. You can block access by devices that are not on the list or do not have the correct IP address.
Add devices to the Static IP list as described in Static IP Addresses.
Enable or disable the following features:
Block MAC address on the list with wrong IP address: Check this box to prevent a computer from accessing your network if its IP address has been changed. For example, if you previously assigned a static IP address of 192.168.1.100 and someone configures the device to use 192.168.149, the device will not be allowed to connect to your network. This feature discourages users from changing their device IP addresses without your permission. Uncheck the box to allow access regardless of the current IP address assignment.
Block MAC address not on the list: Check this box to block access from devices that are not included in the Static IP list. This feature prevents unknown devices from accessing your network. Uncheck the box to allow access by any connected device that is configured with an IP address in the correct range.
Hope that helps.

Remove embedded image

If I simply delete an image from the layout tab, it still remains embedded in the file. How do I permanently un-embed a previously embedded image that I no longer use in my report?

It looks like you may have asked the same question in the BIRT Developer Center.

How can I remove an image from its background and save it? (Photoshop cs6)

Hello,
I am very new to the photoshop world and am trying to remove an image from its background ( as a stand-alone) and save it. Is there a way to do this in Photoshop CS6? I have looked at tutorials but only found how to remove the image but not how to save the image as a stand alone with no background.
Any help would be appreciated
Erika

Hi Erika,
Are you trying to save a portion of an image with a transparent background? It may help to post a screenshot of the image that you're working with as well as your layers panel.
I've included a few tips below that may help you with your situation. If you need additional help, please feel free to post again
Deleting a background and saving an image with a transparent background
1. Here I am working with an image of a santa hat that I've cut out from a white background. I have two layers, the cut-out santa hat and the original file. I'm going to delete the background layer so that I have just one layer - the cut-out santa hat:
2. You'll see that a checkerboard pattern has appeared behind the santa hat. This means that the background is transparent.
3. You can then go to File > Save As... and select PNG, Photoshop PSD, or TIFF from the Format dropdown menu. These file formats will save the cut-out portion of your image on its own, while preserving the transparent background.

Newbie question

Hello
I have a lot of experience with iDVD and have used it to create many slide show/music DVDs but have never worked with iMovie. My son recently created a DVD from a VHS tape which had been created from old 8mm movies. I now want to edit that DVD and presume I need to do that with iMovie.
When I insert the DVD into the iMac it opens DVD Player and I can view the footage there but of course cannot edit in DVD player. If I open iMovie and click create a new project it opens and asks me to "Drag clips here to build your project" That is where I am stymied. How do I get the "clips" from my son's DVD into iMovie.
Sorry for this very basic (and lengthy) question. I need all the help I can get and will appreciate any suggestions
Thank you
john hendrie

Thank you Lenart for your suggestion but that is not an option as the original 8mm films were destroyed ages ago.
Oh, that's too bad.
I suggest you start with what you have, that is as close to the original as possible: The VHS tape.

It you don't have a DV converter or a DV camera with analog in:
Have the VHS tape professionally transferred to data DVDs with DV (DV stream) on the discs. You can fit about 20 minutes of DV on a DVD disc. Do NOT have them create a video-DVD. As you have discovered, they are troublesome to work with.

Newbie question - XML version, searching by artist

Probably quite a common problems - apologies for newbie questions.
I've changed the URL of my MP3s in my XML to a new location and refreshed my feed. Is there a way of seeing what version of the XML iTunes is using? (it takes around 24 housr to refresh, right?)
Also, when I'm searching for my podcast by author it's not coming up (<channel><itunes:author>) - is there a reason for this or a way to get it to show up when people search for the artist, other than doubling it in the title? (This works by the way, but I'd prefer not to!)
Thanks.

you can do it in just one loop, going through all the image
tags in index_content and for each tag fill the values of all four
arrays
for (i...) {
get the appropriate child of index_content
first_array[ i ] = value of first tag
second_array[ i ] = value of second tag
no need for multiple loops.

Lightroom color cast question of JPEG image

Lightroom color cast question of JPEG image
Camera Canon MKII Color Matrix Adobe RGB
Photoshop CS Color Setting Adobe RGB (1998)
Lightroom 1.2 as new lightroom user I did not think that I needed to choose a color setting or color profile until I am ready to print my photos. I have not done any preset camera calibration.
Link to my website with example photo http://www.basecampphotos.com/color.jpg
My question is why is Lightroom displaying the images with a yellow color cast ? The image is a print screen from Lightroom on the left and Photoshop on the right The color cast problem can be seen in the white walls of the stairway. Also when viewing the image with Windows Picture and Fax viewer the walls are white as expected.
Any ideas or suggestions as to why Lightroom is displaying the images with the yellow color cast or what I need to do to correct the issue ?
Thanks
Jim

Almost definitely a corrupt monitor profile. Time and again this turns out to be the cause of such differences between PS and LR. You need to recalibrate the monitor or if you do not have a hardware calibrator, delete the profile from windows' monitor properties pane to test and then get a hardware calibrator.
P.S since you are using adobeRGB jpegs, Windows picture and Fax viewers cannot give you the correct colors even on a calibrated monitor. Those are not color managed programs (I believe picture viewer finally is in Vista but definitely not in XP which you appear to be using). Also, PS has to be correctly set up to always preserve embedded profiles and to ask when you have profile mismatches, otherwise even PS will give incorrect color. Make sure to set this up in Edit>Color settings.
P.S.2: Make sure you are not applying defaults in Lightroom to your images either on import or elsewhere. Sometimes people by accident define develop defaults that in this case might contain a white balance shift. Go to LR preferences and open the Presets tab. Here click on "Reset all default Develop settings" and make sure that only the auto grayscale checkbox is ticked. For images that it might have already happened to, make sure to hit the reset button.

Newbie question: ""dynamic"" casting

Hello all,
 
I have a quite newbie question. I have this class hierarcy:
 
A
|_A1
|_A2
|_A3
|_A4
|_A5
|_.....
 
in some part of my code I have this:
 
if (object1 instanceof A){
if (object1 instanceof A1) {A1 object2 = (A1) e;}
 if (object1 instanceof A2) {A2 object2 = (A2) e;}
 if (object1 instanceof A3) {A3 object2 = (A3) e;}
 if (object1 instanceof A4) {A4 object2 = (A4) e;}
 if (object1 instanceof A5) {A5 object2 = (A5) e;}
object2.callMethod();
 
Is there any way to do this type of casting just in one line? I mean, I just want to cast object1 to the class it is instanceof. If it is instance of A1, I want to be casted to A1, if it is A2 to A2, etc...
 
Thanks you in advance.

In fact I know what object1 is on execution time,Which doesn't help your compiler at all, when it's task to link and verify method calls.
because the code posted at the top is working well, i just want to avoid repeating that if's for all the new classes Ax I will create. Big "code smell" here.
In other words if i had from A1 to A200 i dont want to have 200 if's to cast it to the class it is and then execute it's method.You could call the method "doMagic()" and make it abstract in A. Then you can implement it in all Ax classes and would never have to worry about casting in the first place, because A.doMagic() would automagically do the right thing. Polymorphism.
