My project won't display on tv

Hi, iMovieHD to iDVD 5. I am trying to create a photo project with Ken Burns effect and audio. It plays fine on my Mac, but won't play on the tv in my dvd player.
Consists of 10 photos, 4 titles and 2 audio tracks.
Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!
Patty

Hi Patty,
It seems like a very small project. Can you give more details of the exact proccess you used to create the DVD please? There can only be a couple of reasons why it won't play on your home player providing you have followed the correct proceedure from the beginning.
Check your NTSC/PAL settings to make sure you are using the compatible format for your machine. Most of the newer machines play both, as does your Mac, so this may not be your problem. Check it anyway.
Another reason is your choice of DVD discs. As a rule you should only use high quality brand name discs.
Another reason could be the burning speed of your DVD. Try creating a disc image in iDVD and burning it with Toast at a slower speed. eg, if you are using 8x media try burning at 4x and if you are using 4x try burning at 2x.
Here's the to the Mac iDVD support site. It may be worthwhile having a bit of a study here too.

PS. This is more of an iDVD related problem, so posting in the iDVD forum could give more responses.

SWF Won't Display in RoboHelp Project

Hi,
I have a RoboHelp 9 HTML project that has a number of SWF files embedded in a number of the pages. The problem is the SWF won't display on the HTML page. The SWF files are published to version 11.x. The HTML pages work fine on my computer but I have Robohelp and Flash Pro installed. When I take it to any other computer in my office, the HTML pages load with no problem but the SWF files will not load onto the pages. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

So you are saying that the SWF *WAS* actually displaying but was somehow unable to present the text?
For others that may wonder about what TLF is (as I did) I'll save you the Google step.

Project/Albums show as having pictures, but won't display the pictures.

I have a Project and it has two albums listed (indented) underneath it.
I have moved them around a bit to put them in different folders, and now the pictures won't display. By that I mean that if I mouse over the project, a popup (or flyover) says there are 129 versions, but no pictures show up in the browser window. Same thing for the album.
The files are referenced files and the files are still in the folder in the same location on my hard drive so I could delete and then re-import, but I'd lose my keywording, any other metadata tags (ratings), and my adjustments. I really don't want to lose those.
Any ideas?

Sometimes moving projects around can create invisible filters, check Frank Caggiano's User Tip: Images not appearing in browser, search filter is cleared
But your long loading time is suspicious: Have you imported any new images recently? Long loading times can be caused by a corrupted image or video in your library; then you need to identify the broken image and remove it.
Also can long loading result from a corrupted Aperture Library that needs fixing. DId you have a recent Aperture crash?
Have you already tried to repair or rebuild your Aperture Library? See:
Aperture 3 User Manual: Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library

TOC Won't Display in WinHelp

I am updating a WinHelp project that was previously developed
in X3 but which I am now trying to update and compile in RoboHelp 7
for Word. The TOC won't display (i.e., the TOC navigation panel at
the left doesn't display) when the help is launched. When viewing
the TOC in the single panel window by clicking the Help Topics
button, the links do work. There is a CNT file. I tried deleting
the GID file (as suggested by Adobe), and using the old CNT file
that worked in the previous version of the project. Anyone else
experience this with RoboHelp 7?

We're getting the same issue here. We compile - looks great. We copy the hlp and cnt files to another computer and the TOC disappears. We're using RoboHelp for Word and have been since v5. Can anyone help on this? All topics are there; links work, graphics great, but the Table of Contents has vanished.
If I run the AutoGenerate TOC function, the TOC disappears completely from the system. Bear in mind, this is the same file we've been working from for the last 3 years and up until now has been working. We recently updated to v7 and upgraded again to v8 today.
I really appreciate any guidance anyone can give.

Flash builder 4.7 as plugin won't display asdoc

Hi,
on windows 7 x64, I just installed Flash Builder 4.7 x64 on my existing eclipse 4.2 x64 (using "the Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 Plug-in Utility") and the asdoc popup won't display anything but the current element. If I start the standalone Flash Builder, using the same workspace and same project, it works fine. Do I need to configure something else so it works as a plugin?

My mistake...
There was a typo into the XML application descriptor, that prevented the app to install properly on the device.
Precisely, it wasn't a typo but raher a malformed <intent-filter> node. I launched adb tool from the console with adb install MyApp.apk command, and I saw this : Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_MANIFEST_MALFORMED] in the terminal. From here it was easy to find the culprit.
What would be cool is to have this feature inside the Flash Builder's Console panel.

Iphoto won't display photo library

I recently upgraded to iPhoto 9.3.2 and to Mountain Lion on my iMac 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
I'm not 100% sure when this problem occured, but now, when I open iPhoto, it won't display any photos. All it shows is a note saying "To get started with iPhoto...etc"
I've tried the following so far:
- repair permissions
- disk repair
- holding down option command when opening iPhoto and choosing repair database and rebuild database (nothing happened on either occasion)
- tried launching earlier versions of iPhoto from my Time Machine back-up: 9.3.1; 9.3; 9.2.3. Got the same problem with each
- tried to import photos. Tried several different ones but always, iPhoto would hang on 'finishing import'
- tried rebuild library in iPhoto Library Manager but I get an error: An error occurred trying to open the database at /Users/MichaelSasha/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Database/apdb/Library.apdb (14)
I also have a Mac Mini and have successfully upgraded to iPhoto 9.3.2 & Mountain Lion and have no problems with photos. I accessed the Mac Mini from the iMac and copied across a photo and tried to import it on the iMac but got the 'finishing import' hanging issue
This is really puzzling me! I've exhausted all the options I can think of. Hoping someone out there has any suggestions.

Did you try restoring an earlier version of you iPhoto Library and see if it would open with iPhoto? If you have with no success then try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If you can create and run a new library then the problem lies with your current library. And, since you've tried all of the repair fixes the only option left is:
Start over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window.
Click to view full size
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

Webhelp topics won't display on servername with multiple hyphens

Hi
I have several webhelp topics generate with RoboHelp 8 whose html topics won't display when launched from servers whose hostnames contain more than one hyphen. We have multiple servers in the test environment. The servers with zero or one hyphens can launch the help project or individual topics with not problem. The servers with two or more hyphens can launch the project and display the nav pane, but the topics show a File Not Found error. The topics also show this error when launched independent of the frameset. Can anyone help?

William,
I have gone thru my project now and, as I stated in my May 1 mail to you, I have made duplicates of all of the "bad" topics and all of these new topics are now displaying correctly.
Now I have a related, but different issue.
Only one topic is causing that same error msg to display (refer to my original April 27 post: IE script error/syntax error; Line 13, character 1).
The only topic that throws that error msg is the initial topic that displays when the .chm file is opened (i.e., the topic that is specified as the "Default Topic" in the HTML Help Options window when I click the Generate Layout button in the SSL pod.)
Furthermore, the topic that throws the error message will only do so if it is the one specified as the Default Topic.
As an example, if I have the topic Apple specified as the Default Topic, when the .chm file is opened the error msg window will display; when the user clicks either Yes or No to the "Do you want to continue running scripts?" query, the Apple topic will display normally. Each time that topic is selected it will throw the same error msg. window.
If I go back to my project in RH and change the Default Topic to the Pear topic, re-compile the project, when the .chm file is opened the error msg will display; when you click Yes/No the Pear topic will display normally (until it's selected again). The Apple topic now displays fine at all times.
This tells me that the problem seems not to be with the Apple topic, as I'd suspected, but with something that's going on with RH and how it displays the initial topic in a compiled project. I think.
Any ideas on how I can remedy this issue?
Thanks in advance.

RH7 compiled topics won't display and throw an IE (syntax) script error

Pundits,
I am using RH 7 to create projects of about 600 topics. My OS is Windows XP Pro 2002, SP-3. My problem is that approximately 10% of the topics in my .chm file prompt an IE script error msg when I, or anyone else, tries to open them.
Here's the error msg:
When this window displays, user can click on either Yes or No and topic will display normally; the next time a user attempts to open this topic, same error displays, with same Yes/No click behavior.
When I look at the html for any of the "bad" topics (i.e., topics that won't display), there is always this one extra line of code, referring to the ehlpdhtm.js file in my project folder:
<script language="javascript" src="ehlpdhtm.js"></script>
This line is never in the html of the "good" topics.
Can anyone shed any light on what's causing this, and what I can do to remedy the situation?
Thanks in advance.
Dennis

Text won't display

my text won't display properly (size and position) in premeire elements 7

dannyellis1
What computer operating system are you running the Premiere Elements 7 program?
Is this a "it worked before but not now" type of issue or "it never worked before"?
Where is the text not displaying correctly...in the opened Titler, in the disc menu window in the Create Menus section of the program, other, or everywhere?
Is your video card driver up to date according to the web site of the manufacturer of the video card?
You mention size and position. What about font type?
Also, please include:
a. computer resources description
b. properties of your source media
c. project preset
d. description of Timeline content and duration
Let us start here and then decide what next.
Thanks.

Flash .swc won't display

I've got a head-scratcher here.
We're updating an older Flex 3 project (3.6 SDK) and have (mostly) succussfully migrated the project to FB4.5 but we're sticking with the 3.6 SDK.
One particular element of this project is a masthead which we publish as a .swc from Flash 5.5 after using the "Convert Symbol to Flex Component" command. I've also written a simple class for this masthead component so we can get at some interal properties.
The .swc isn't visible at all. It's there, I've confirmed that using the debugger but it won't display. I've even tried pulling it into a bare-bones project file using both the old 3.6 SDK and the 4.5 SDK. Nothing.
Maybe I'm follow an old workflow for bringing Flash elements into Flash Builder?
I noticed there are two Flex Component kits, but I'm pretty sure Flash 5.5 already has the Flex Component kit built-in. Yes?
Toughts?

Hi,
You mentioned that this was a project you migrated over to FB 4.6,
correct? Chances are that even though you have the swc in your lib
folder, the project properties are pointing to a version of the swc in a
different location.
Choose Project > Properties > Flex Build Path >Library Path and then
click the swc that's having problems, click "Edit" on the right, and
confirm that it's pointing to the correct location.

Director mx 2004 won't display Flash 8 swf files & other Flash media

I have created a Flash 8 Project which has audio, video (which are converted to swf files fom flvs), flashpaper. This application is driven by XML.
However this application works fine outside director, but when I import the main swf file into director mx 2004 and RUN it, director won't display the videos (but I can hear the audio from the videos), Director wont show graphic images(eg menu icon movie buttons, and flash buttons). Also I can launch external files (eg text file) from flash, but again it won't work via director.
ANY SUGGESTIONS PLEASE

ANY SUGGESTIONS PLEASE
I suggest there's no need to shout.
Try linking the Director cast member to the external swf file instead of fully importing it. You also should have the 10.1.1 update in place - this is particularly important.

Closed captioning won't display in html/swf

I have embedded a swf file in html. The closed captioning displays when I view the .swf file and when I view the Flash published html. However, when I view the fully created Web page, the closed captioning won't display. Does anyone have any ideas?
Specs:
The video was created with Captivate 4, published as an .avi and then as an .f4v with Adobe Media Encoder CS4
The .f4v is imported into a Flash CS4 framework.
The closed captioning file was created with MAGpie and exported to a dfxp file.
The .swf file containing all of the necessary files above is embedded in a Web site created with Macromedia Dreamweaver 8.

Oddly enough, I played with the placement of the captioning file to get this to work. While all the other resource files associated with this project needed to remain in the original locations when I embedded my Flash within the html, this file needed to be in the same folder as the base html code for some reason. I hope this helps someone else down the road.

Twistie image won't display

RH 9 / WebHelp output
I added twisties to my project a couple of weeks ago and they worked fine.
Recently I re-organized my images and the twistie graphics were not displaying so I went into the css and updated the path.
The collpage icon displays fine, but the expand will not. I even tried using the collapse icon for the open icon and it still won't display. I put the images back at the root and re-did path, and nothing changed.
Attached pictures of the 2 outputs, and the code.
Have a release going out tomorrow so any help much appreciated.

Hi there
For starters, the CSS seems that you are referencing the same exact file. So your Expand and Collapse should be identical. But in your screen capture, it appears that the collapse isn't showing?
If you are really wanting the same image, perhaps make a copy and name the copy slightly differently. Then specify it in the CSS editor or code.
Another thing to try is to right-click and add both images to your project as Baggage files.
Cheers... Rick

Manage Views - newly created view won't display

Hi All,
I was recently asked to create a portfolio view for a new senior project manager. I've done this before so I thought it would be fine. However, once I create the view and I go back in to the Poject Centre, the view won't display. It just shows
a grey page. I then deleted the view I created and duplicated an existing view (but just changed the filter so it showed the projects managed by the senior's directs) but even that won't display.
I don't understand why this has worked every time previously and not now. Any idea what it could be?
Thanks in advance for any help/advice.
Clair.

Hi Clair,
What does exactly happen? Can you see the view name in the view drop down menu?
In case you don't, there are 2 main things to validate:
Which type of view did you select? In order to be accessible from the project center, it has to be a project center view and not for example a project view. See screenshot below (unfortunately in french).
Did you correctly associated the appropriate security category with the view? Indeed, if project manager are in the default project manager security group that is associated to the "my projects" category, you need to associate the newly created
view with the "my projects" category.
In case you see the view in the dropdown list but when selecting it, nothing is diplayed, check for filters in the project center page or directly in the view configuration. Check also if the account you're connecting with has proper rights to access the
list of projects displayed by the view.
Hope this helps.

My iPhone 5 won't display smart text options.

My iPhone 5 won't display smart text. It did when I initially downloaded the new OS, now those options don't appear at all. Did I click something to make them disappear?

Thoughts please.....
Thanks much
