Mirrored pics

Hi,
got a problem. My stills taken with external iSight webcam in Photo Booth application are always mirrored (right side is left and vice versa) even though no effects are turned on. How to make pictures look right (real)? Can you solve this?
Thanx alot for any helpful info. Petr.

Finder menu > "Go" > applications > Photo Booth
Select "folder above" in the drop down menu, repeat till there is no "folder above" left.
Click on the Photo Booth video.
Photo Booth needs to be the front application for audio playback.
We'll get to the mirrored image when your sounds playing.
iMovie needs the input level for the mic active as well.

Mirrored pics (continued)

This mirroring problem also comes with video mode in Photo Booth. In addition, no sound is recorded. My iSight webcam does not pick up sound in iMovieHD either. Wrong camera??

When I take pictures with my iPod 4th gen it will flip my pictures right away, as if it's a mirror. How can I fix this?

Okay, so my iPod 4th gen has been acting up. Everytime I take a picture while facing the camera, it flips my picture. So if I take a picture of my right side, it'll show my left side. It's very annoying and I can only take mirror pics >.< someone please help me!

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Mac pro 2.66 Quad Core - boot drive mirrored, replace?

All,
I have a Mac Pro 2.66 Quad Core system.
I got all 'sexy' when I set it up - loaded four 1-TB drives in the 4 bays, Mirrored the boot set, also mirrored the secondary set for data.
I am getting ready to have these guys filled up (I do lots of video, pics, etc), and am thinking about 'growing' the drives to 2TB or even 3TB disks (mirrored of course, I'm paranoid).
So I am thinking about the 'how' of moving my data to the larger drive, getting things set up. I have not had any of the drives fail, so I haven't needed to do a swap out yet.
Can I simply take out one of the mirrored boot drives, put in a larger drive, and it will then rebuild the mirror?
or if anyone has some info they can point me to, I'd appreciate it.
thx

You cannot just add a larger drive and grow your RAID Volume size. You need to create an empty larger RAID Volume and COPY the data to the larger Volume, e.g., from your Backups.
Mirrored RAID is NOT Backup. It merely extends the time to repair to keep a drive failure from becoming a data disaster. RAID gives you no protection from human error, crazy software or file problems that happen "just because". You still need backup.
One of the best ways to get increased performance from a computer with the ability to support multiple Internal drives is to keep only System, Library, Applications, and the hidden unix files including paging/swap on the Boot Drive, and move everything else off. This dramatically reduces competition for the Boot Drive and everything speeds up. A Velociraptor is a little faster, and an SSD is incrementally faster still.
If that is all that is on the Boot Drive, you do not need to RAID it, since it can be reproduced from DVDs or downloads in short order. All your User files and Preferences are on other drives..
Implementing this would suggest a single small fast Boot Drive, typically with an offline clone as Backup for emergencies, and forget about RAID-ing the Boot Drive.

I just took a back up of the new iPad in iClouds, out of 5Gb 3.9Gb is available and remaining got used up by camera roll and apps. So now if i want to see those camera roll pics in iCloud on my iPad and Windows PC how can i do that ?

Hi All,
Please let me know how can i view the backed up content on iClouds like the camera roll pics, since i have the pics there on iCloud and i want to save on the space on my iPad i want to delete it from my iPad if i can see it over iCloud.

Even though iCloud can back up some content it is intended more to keep multiple iOS devices synced up rather than being a place to back up your content. The Camera Roll is included in the iPad's Backup however there is no way to access the back up's content without Restoring the iPad. If you wipe the photos from the iPad's Photo Roll the new back up file created will also have them removed.
Photo Stream, also a part of iCloud, is also intended to make your latest photos accessible on your other iOS devices such as iPhones, Apple TVs and Mac computers. It will only hold 1000 of the latest photos and is supposed to delete them after 30 days. This can give you the opportunity to view photos for awhile, back the photos up in a more conventional manner on your computer and share them with others. It is not a back up and is more of a temparary place to view them. Photos should be transferred to a computer which also has a good back up routine to external sources.
Even though iCloud can hold your iPad Backup file, the back up file does not contain most media files. The iOS backup file is more for quickly getting your devics settings restored if you have an issue with it or want to set up a new device. Your media files must also live else where in a more permanent back up such as on a computer and an external USB drive. For most actions, iCloud pretty much mirrors your iOS devices, delete something from one device it is gone from them all including iCloud.
If you want to remove photos then store and view them from an online source use services such as DropBox or other online photo services such as Flickr.

IPod Touch Graphics Weirdness - Status Bar mirrored at bottom of screen!!!

Okay, this is VERY weird and I have no idea what's going on - This morning when I woke up, I grabbed my trusty iPod Touch (4th Gen, 32GB with iOS 5) to check my calendar and noticed that the Status Bar (if I'm calling it the right thing - the white bar at the very top of the screen that shows the time, battery charge, WiFi signal,etc) was not only at the top - but also at the BOTTOM of the screen too!
The mirrored Status Bar has the correct time and battery life as the top and the time updates just as it should. I can also see the lock icon when I first turn it on. However, to the extreme left the bottom bar is sort of "washed out" and is so white that I can't make out the word "iPod" that shows on the top bar. In fact, it's also sort of translucent as I can see the dock, icon name and part of my wallpaper behind/thru it! I also just realized something else weird - if I pull down the Notifications panel, I can see the notification panel sort of "scrolling" thru the bottom Status Bar!!! I hope I'm explaining this well enough - but it's like..I dunno, like the ideo memory for the top of the screen is being mirrored over the bottom of the screen too - I can see what should be there as well, it;s like it's overlayed or something. The Notification panel is especially weird since it totally obsured the top status bar as it's being pulled down - and this is exactly what the bottom status bar area shows me - what's in the section in the top bar is prescisely what is showing in the bottom bar section!!!!
It stays displayed along the bottom no matter what app I'm in, even a full screen video, game, lock screen, etc; nor does it disappear when rotating to landscape mode - it still stays in the exact same place (tho in landscape it's now on the right side as it were). I have soft reset, synched, etc but it wil not go away. As I said, I deleted all recently installed packages, but I didn't install anything the night before (remember I just found it this way this morning) - i.e. I wasn't doing anything weird or experimental or anything remotely like that with my beloved little iPod (never JailBroken it or any of that stuff - am happy as it is and never been tempted to do anything like that to it). I also have never used any of the AV Out cables or whatever they are called that allow you to mirror an iPod screen on a TV or monitor or whatever - never used anything but the sync cable (now at my sisters), my Belkin charge auto charge cable, and that's it (I'm mentioning all this since I see other people asking this sort of thing for other problems when I was trying to find anyone else experiencing/ed this issue).
I have not tried a factory restore yet, and wanted to post here before I go that route to see if this is maybe something Apple has seen before and can offer a quick and easy fix. Otherwise I'm guessing a hard/factory reset is the only way to go - I'm a bit worried about this since (of course) my sync cable is no longer here - gave it to my sister the last time she was in town and have just been using my charge cable (no sync capabilities, just power) since I don't really need it with iOS5's wonderful WiFi Sync. I do use iCloud - but if I hard reset/factory reset, will iCloud restore the synching info so I can sync all my apps and music & videos back via iTunes from my Laptop, or will I need to buy another sync cable? IF factory reset is the only way, please let me know (anyone that knows!) what I'm in for in regards to restoring from iCloud if anyone here is experienced with that. I know my non-iTunes music and videos are not backed up in the Cloud, but as long as it restores the ability to sync wirelessly with iTunes on my Laptop that's fine. Asuming, of course, that a factory reset will even fix this Status Bar oddity - I'm really afraid it means my little iPod's internal board is going fry-happy or something awful like that. :-(
I tried taking some screen snapshots (home + power off) to post, however the camera roll just displays a standard beautiful looking screen, no double bar - not sure what that indicates. However after some fiddling and emailng to myself, I do have a couple pics posted below. I apologize for the lack of quality - I took them - and don't laugh - with my Android Phone (yes, I have every intention of upgrading to an iPhone 4S as soon as I can - having a bit of enforced financial conservatism going on at the present unfortunately - which is one of the main reasons I'm so worried my beloved iPod Touch 4 is having issues as it's either very close to warranty expriration and can't afford another right now, and really don't want to have to rely on my Android Phone for everything I do on my iPod Touch - there truly is no comparison!).
If anyone has any ideas or has seen something similar please let me know! I did search the Apple forums prior to posting this, and even googled the web but could find nothing like this ever happening to anyone else. I absolutely love my iPod Touch and would be uterly lost without it, so I'm hoping with all my might that this isn't some sign of a bad board or something in my beloved little beautiful iPod Touch!
Thanks in advance for any assistance, suggestions, etc!!!

I understand the various methods - I was just worried because I've never restored via iCloud - from the limited experience I've had thus far, I'm impressed! But of course if Apple does it, it's going to be the best experience possible! :-)
And as you may have guessed from my now having iCloud restore experience, it is due to me going ahead and trying a reset to factory settings/wiping it clean. And unfortunately - the bottom bar is STILL THERE! <much argghhing! and %^$#@*&^%$'ing loudly>
I did try wiping it a couple of times, but no joy. At this point, I'm guessing this means there's something majorly wrong with the graphics subsystem and/or main board? It's not a screen issue as it's working fine - in fact it's working double-time displaying two things at once - dimensional transcendentalists take note! <grin>
So unless anyone else has some fantastically bright ideas, I'm guessing this means I need to call Apple next? I'm guessing one of these pages has the appropriate contact info - I'm just not at all looking forward to being without my favorite gadget in the history of gadgetdom (and as you can tell from my username, I've been a fan of Apple Gadgets for quite awhile now!).
Anyone know if Apple offers any advanced replacement options? Or if there's anyway to tell if my Touch is stil under warranty? I can't remember the exact purchase date but probably coming up very soon - have they been out a year? Sorry if thee questions are silly, as I said, I'm a newbie to Apple Support - first Apple product I've ever owned that broke!
Thanks for any info for anyone coming in late to the fun, and/or for any tips on who/what to call and ask about.
Wish me luck! :-0

How can you get a mirror image of a photo on iPhoto?

How can you get a mirror image of a photo on iPhoto?

By using an external editor. Preview is already on your Mac. It's called 'Flip Horizontal'
In order of price here are some other suggestions:
Seashore (free)
The Gimp (free)
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
Pixelmator ($50 approx)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

How to delete pics from foto library? anybody

Hi all,
I deleted all my pics from the filmrol in the foto app, but now i am trying to delete the pics wich are in my fotolibrary but i cannot find a way how to do this, anybody?

This will help:

How do I remove the "mirror" image on the front camera?

After I take photos on the front camera to say a "selfie" the image is then flipped and saved. I research online and people say it's what the camera sees (like looking into a mirror) and that's how we really look in real life but I can prove this to not be true!! Here is why, I have a beauty mark on my face on the left side and when I take a selfie my iPhone saves it to show it on the right!! And when I look into an actual mirror it's obviously on left where it should be not on the right!! IS THERE a way to remove this on the new iPhone?!? All apple product seem to do this!! iPhone, iPads even my Mac! But this not true on regular cameras. HELPPP this issue is making me not get another iPhone for I travel for a living and take tons of pics.

iPhone 5 plain. iOS 7.1.2. Virgin Mobile. Had it about a month.
I noticed that all of the selfies I had taken with Instagram were reversed. This was odd to realize; I have had the phone for a month, and when I see a reversed selfie it looks normal to me ... I part my hair on the left, and I didn't notice that all of my avatars for things had my hair parted on the wrong side. I was reviewing some Facebook photos and it was very obvious that some of my pics have my hair parted on the wrong side. It was kind of weird figuring out that the ones that looked right were the wrong ones...
So I played around a bit. With the built in camera app, when I am framing a selfie, it sure would be awkward to try to center yourself in the picture if the image wasn't reversed. I've had devices with front-facing cameras where you could un-reverse the image, and it is quite disorienting to try to center yourself. So I get WHY the image is reversed (one of the reasons at least). I noticed too that when I snap the selfie with the built-in camera app, that the picture un-mirrors as it takes. There is a brief animation as the image flips side-to-side.
For me and my phone/situation, it is when I use Instagram to take pictures from the front-facing camera. Instagram just seems to grab the actual image from the screen, and not do the un-mirroring that the built in photo app uses. So, my solution is to not use the Instagram app to snap the actual selfie, but to use the built in phone app to take it, then afterwards I open the photo in instagram and do my tweaking. Just slightly less than elegant for now, I am hoping that a future Instagram update will give you control on whether to un-mirror the front-facing camera. But I see this as my phone working correctly, and the app itself being the thing that is buggy. In my case.

Help! 40K pics & a monolithic library file == 2x the disk space usage

All,
I recently took the plunge (twice) and purchased my first Apple computer since a IIc. I bought an Intel based iMac (2GHz) and have moved all of my pics (about 40K) to an external 1TB drive array (mirrored 500GB).
I found iPhoto woefully inadequate to deal with this many photos and after talking to the folks at the Apple Store took the 2nd plunge and bought Aperture (off of eBay).
Now I come to find that Aperture wants to copy all the photos I have it index (ideally all of them) into a single library file. Is this correct? Is there any way to prevent it from doing this and just accessing them in the directory structure I have already painstakingly setup over the last 6 years (I realize I can sort of rebuild the structure in Aperture but don't want them stored in the lib file)?
I am asking for 2 main reasons:
1) I think a large monolithic fil is a bad design and more prone to problems if the drive starts to get corrupted, file is deleted, etc
2) I don't want use 2x the HD space as I need the individual files accessible to windows machines and other devices (set-top box) for viewing photos
iPhoto has this option as: Preferences -> Advanced -> (Uncheck) Copy files to iPhoto Library folder when adding to library
So - can Aperture do this, index and access the files in the existing dir structure, or am I going to need to resell Aperture on eBay?
Thanks!

Now I come to find that Aperture wants to copy all
the photos I have it index (ideally all of them) into
a single library file. Is this correct? Is there
any way to prevent it from doing this and just
accessing them in the directory structure I have

realize I can sort of rebuild the structure in
Aperture but don't want them stored in the lib
file)?
It's not a "lib file". It's a set of directories - just think of it like moving your same directory structure inside Aperture itself. Do just as you are now, have folders in folders in folders and then at the lowest levels in directories that hold pictures make projects for each and load the images from that directory into the project.
Then if you explore the Aperture library using Finder (right click on the aperture library and select "See Package Contents") you will see all of your directories there - the .approject files down inside these directories are also packages that you can look inside of, though it's a little different in there as your master files are inside import directories and each has it's own directory.
The most important thing is, your master files are always where Finder can reach them if you absolutely need to get them out.
I am asking for 2 main reasons:
1) I think a large monolithic fil is a bad design and
more prone to problems if the drive starts to get
corrupted, file is deleted, etc
It would be - but Aperture is actually safer than holding it inside a single library because:
a) The files are all just in normal directories, so they suffer no more risk of corruption than they would outside your library.
b) There is a database that holds all of your edits so if the files in (c) get corrupted you can recreate them.
c) There are sidecar files next to each master that describe all edits made to versions based on that master, so that if the database in (b) dies you can recreate it.
Aperture actually doubly-stores your edits! Of course on top of that you should at least use Vault or seek some other method of backup.
2) I don't want use 2x the HD space as I need the
individual files accessible to windows machines and
other devices (set-top box) for viewing photos
You can't use Aperture in that way. When using Aperture (or Lightroom) once you import an image there is only a "virtual image". It's not a real image until you export into some real format of your choice.
So for use with other programs, you need to choose a format and color space and DPI and export images.
There is actually one workaround to that whole process, someone made a program called ApertureToiLife which lets you use the large thumbnails (1024x680) as if they were in iPhoto.
You do not need 2x the space, because once imported you simply remove the masters - remember they are just sitting there inside the Aperture library directory. And Aperture will save space if you are using RAW files because it does not need to store a TIFF or PSD until you are actually ready to use the image, instead of having to create rendered files every time you edit.
So - can Aperture do this, index and access the files
in the existing dir structure, or am I going to need
to resell Aperture on eBay?
That really depends on if you can live with the exporting requirement, personally I find Aperture far more useful than iPhoto. Try out the comparison tools and look at some of the tutorials before you part with it. I have not found the exporting requirement to restrictive and it lets you choose any format you like at the point you need it, instead of having to decide formats before you've really even started editing.

Strange marks on iPod Classic back mirror.

Well, I bought this iPod 2 months ago and since first second it always have been in a case.
The first case I had was _DLO Urban_ and the second one which I still have is _Crumpler made from leather_.
Both are original and the iPod has never been taken out without a case.
Here is a pic:
http://img240.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img4489on8.jpg
I tried to focus as much as possible.
The main noticeable marks are between the 80GB sign and the iPod(Apple logo) sign.
Please let me know if this is a known issue and/or there is anything I can do to fix these ugly marks.
Thnks you very much
Ido

UPDATE
Ok, While I was thinking this morning about this issue, I remembered that my sister ALSO has the same problem with her iPod Nano 1G. She used the have ALSO a leather case of Incase, but in her iPod it looks very bad cause she used this case for long time.
Another point is that the damaged area in my iPod (the pic that I showed here) is very couple to my Crumpler and the rest of the back mirror shouldn't touch the case, so it just makes me think that i know what the problem is.
So now I'm lost with my minds, what should I do it's new iPod and this looks abnormal for a new one.
I don't think Apple gonna help me with this issue,
I can't blame anyone, all I can say is be careful if you buy leather case.
The big question is: *Is that failure of Apple?*

Why does my camera on my macbook take pics backwards

why does my macbook pro take pics backwards ,i cant read the words

In which app?
If you're referring to Photo Booth, by default it mirrors the image. But under Edit in the menu bar you have two commands, "Flip Photo" (Command-F) and "Auto-Flip New Items" (Shift-Command-F), which should get your images "right".

No 'Mirror image' checkbox in Advance tab for c4680

Hi! I've just bought a new hp Photosmart c4680 printer for iron-on Transfers as my previous printer packed up. After some deliberating and research I settled on this one as it catered for the transfers and it was a make I haven't used before. I know what to do and how to do it, but, I can't cos what it tells me to do is not available ; cl 'Advance' tab, in the 'Features' area select the' Mirror Image' checkbox. There are 2 boxes, 1- 'Enable maximum DPI setting'. 2- 'Enable HP Real Life Technologies'. No MIRROR IMAGE ! Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks. Ako.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Sorry I been wrapped up in myself lately. WindowsXP. I've been to and froing emails with HP sevices and their final answer is below.
"Thank you for writing to HP Customer Care.
I would like to inform you that the printer supports iron on transfer however the driver does not have the feature of mirroring the image hence we suggested you to use third party software called Microsoft Office Picture Manager to mirror the image." Being an OAP that is not an option for me.
I've since had them ring me today from( India?)wherever and suggested I use Microsoft Word. I had previously rang Braintree HP Customer Care and spoke to a technician who, after deliberating with another Tech: told me " the Mirror Image is no longer necessary, just select Iron-onTransfer paper and print normally". Does'nt work. PICASA forum suggests :- highlight pic click >Ctrl-Shift-H to flip horizontal, and Ctrl-shift-V for vertical flip. Worked for some but not for me.
I've got over mine by visiting 'download.com' chose 'free downloads' 'mirror image' search and chose 'Easyimage' sorted.
Thanks for taking time out for me, hope this might help someone like me who's getting fed up with the problem. ako

IChat and Photo Booth mirror the video?

Video chatting with my parents I noticed, that their faces are mirrored, either in their video preview and on my computer. They have got an iMac 2Ghz Intel Core 2 duo and 10.5.6. Their built in camera does not take videos or photos in Photo Booth or iChat as regular cameras do, but they mirror the picture. I am now sitting at their computer, trying to solve the problem, but I could not find any settings to change this. In Photo Booth I can choose "Neue Fotos automatisch spiegeln", in english probably "automatically mirror new photos" (or something similar), but this does not help for iChat.
Has any of you have an idea?
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
Photobooth and iChat show the Pics as you would see them in a Mirror.
It is not a problem.
It is the way that are designed.
The Buddy at the other end in iChat see things correctly.
The effect is something like standing in front of a Drinking establishment with a mirror behind the Bar that you can see whilst your Buddy is facing you.
Hence you make a move to indicate to your right an the mirror image follows your action on the same side. Your Buddy see things as the friend at the bar would.
It is not a "Problem" so there is no "Fix"
However the add-on iGlasess can Flip the pic if you want amongst other things it can do.
