No thumbnails in Theme Chooser for my created themes?

I just upgraded to a new MBPro with Snow Leopard. I moved my Keynote themes from the old PowerBook (running Tiger) to the new laptop, and they all seem to work... except that in the Theme Chooser, where I had been seeing thumbnail previews of my user-created themes, only their names appear. Original Keynote themes and third-party commercial themes appear normally.
It's not a HUGE deal, since I can still select my themes by name, but I'd like to understand the cause if I can, and perhaps do something about it...
Any ideas?
Charlie

Yes, I tried all of that. I had to delete everything but my Aperture libraries and re-install to get it to work. I think it was something wrong with something in the Application Support folder for Aperture. Whatever it was it works now. The first time I re-installed I left the Application Support folder for Aperture alone it still had the problem. There are some .plist files there and undoubtedly something was amiss.

Make custom theme available for the "Create new app" wizard

Hi all,
I have a general problem. Imagine you have created a theme for ApEx. The theme makes applications look as demanded by the design principles of a company. The company now wants everyone developing ApEx applications to use the developed theme.
But It seems to me that there is no easy way of doing this. When I create a new application, I can only see the standard themes defined in the repository. If I want a new application to use the developed theme, I have to exort the theme once, and import it for any application I create (after creating the application, of course :-( ). This is cumbersome. And maybe a point of discussion in many companies.
Is there a way to exchange a predefined theme in the repository through a custom theme? Or even better: Add a predefined theme to the repository? The important thing is to make the theme available for all applications in an instance without importing the theme again and again.
If there is no possibility to do this, this is an enhancement request. How about a possibility to import new themes globally for all applications (maybe from the INTERNAL workspace). Or how about putting a "Import Theme" Upload field on the "Select Theme" page in the application creation wizard?
Regards.
Stephan

Hello,
I'll put an enhancement request for that, there might even already be one. The way you are doing it right now is pretty much the easiest way.
One way I do it is I have a stub application that has just a couple blank pages and the proper themes and templates. Then all someone has to do is install the blank application and start working on that, it just takes a couple steps out of the theme switching issue.

Theme Chooser Not Working - No Themes?

Hi there,
I'm using iPhoto 11 - trying to make a photo book - and my theme chooser doesn't seem to be working. I don't get to choose any themes - they all look the same, see the screen shot below:
Can't choose any colours or background options either. Its like the software didn't properly install or something. Likewise when I ctrl-click on an event, I don't get the option to make a book, I only get this:
Can someone tell me what is going on?? Thanks!!

You need to reinstall the app.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

Page for jquery smartphone theme 50 just hangs

In my app, I am using theme 25 for desktop and theme 50 for jquery smartphone (iPhone in my testing). I am using APEX 4.2.2.00.11.
I thought that I could copy a few of the pages using theme 25 and as part of the copy process select theme 50 to create a page suitable for a smartphone. I tried this for a few pages.
The problem is when I attempt to bring up the new pages that are using theme 50 on the iphone, they just show a spinning circle. I've tried with a page that uses a calendar region, another that uses a report region (not IR), and one that uses a form region.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how to resolve this?
Thanks,
Reid

Creating your own theme-templates for printing?

Can I create my own theme-templates for printing?
/BonneSwe

No, iTunes printing is quite simple and only works off it's own templates. If you want to customise templates you'd be better advised to look at on of the specialised cover printing programs that are available. DiskLabel is one that springs to mind.

You should be able to call the iPad using your Apple ID from the iPhone. When calling from iPad use the iPhone's phone number to initiate the call.

HT5622 We are a family of 4, each with their own apple device. Is it best for us to set up individual apple ID's for things like ITunes? If we do can the same e-mail address be used for all of them or do we need to create e-mails for the kids? Thank-you

Thank-you

1. Yes, it is.
2. You may be able to use the same address by adding a plussed suffix to it, such as [email protected] If that doesn't work, create separate emails.

In Address Book, why does Apple let you create custom fields in the Template cards but not have them available for importing?

I open Address Book, go into Preferences, select Template and under the Names field (friend, assistant, father, etc) I add a custom field called "Principal".
I also add two more custom fields in the Email area.
Quit Address Book then relaunch. Add a new contact and the new custom fields, Principal, etc. are there. All good so far.
I have a Now Contact file with about 200 contacts in it. I export all fields as a Text file, Tab delimited. No problems there. With Address Book launched, select Import, pick the text file, leave Text Encoding on Automatic and click Open.
The window that shows the fields for Address Book and fields for the text file side by side opens. This is where you match up the correct fields for importing. If I go to one of the fields from the text file that I created a custom field for, click under the Address Book heading on the Do not import, scroll thru the Apple choices of fields, none of the custom fields show up. Only the original Apple ones are there. Why does Apple let you create them in the Template area but not have them available for importing? Does anyone have suggestions on getting around this?

While most likely not of interest to you, Spotlight can also tell you where the files it finds are located
Hover the mouse pointer over the name, and press Command-Option and the path to the file will be displayed.
As for opening a terminal session in the directory where a file is located, there is Applescripts that do just that as well as specific features in Lion/Mountain Lion terminal:

DVD Studio Pro - Why is it so easy to create stories, but you cannot group all them together for a simple PLAY all scenario, instead of going to scripts

- Why is it so easy to create stories, but you cannot group all them together for a simple PLAY all scenario, surely it can be done? I am about to give scripting a shot but seriously it looks way to confusing compared to stories, I have several sub menus and in each sub menu I have a play all story, however what I also want to do is create a PLAY ALL from the main menu, any suggestions
Erby60

Duplicate all your stories, have a menu item with duplicate story 1 as the target, and set the end jump of duplicate story 1 to duplicate story 2, etc. Shouldn't that work? There may be a simpler way, but
As far as adding documents, The simplest way is to build in dvdsp and then add a folder containing the docs to the project folder that dvdsp has created and use toast to burn it. There may be a rule for naming this folder, but can't remember it at the moment.
Hey, ya know there's something called the dvdsp manual. A quick search found this
In addition to the VIDEO_TS or HVDVD_TS folder, there are other items that can be part of the format process:
A folder specified by the DVD-ROM content setting
DVD@CCESS Installers
You can change or set the folder to use for DVD-ROM content either when specifying the preformat settings or while configuring the format process. The DVD@CCESS Installers are included if the project used DVD@CCESS links and the Embed Text Data checkbox in the Disc Inspector is selected. See DVD@CCESS for more information on DVD@CCESS.

Hello All:
What to thank everyone in advance for taking the time to respond to this post:
We just had a 600 laptop image delopoyment of macbook pro's and since we
were rushed to do this in one day…. i forgot to connect them to wireless before
creating an image. (worked from 5am ~ 5 am)
DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO create a login script, where to place it,
and how to push out wireless setting so when a user logs in, it would automatically
bind them to a certain wireless?
We want to strictly do this through our Mac os x server snow leopard.
Please help as I am going back this Sunday to resolve this. I will have to
manually open up 600 laptops and add them to the wireless if i don't
find out a solution.

THANKS A BUNCH!
BUT!!!
can you help me create a script with this information.
You led me to the right direction. I will be using mac os x server and doing login script.
here is what i typed up so far but i don't know how to make the file. I know the command to run throgh shell but do not know how to make the file run so when i put it in login script it will place this wireless setting on all computers.
They are ging to be using this information:
/usr/sbin/networksetup -addpreferredwirelessnetworkatindex Airport atams 0 WPA2 [F3fd+mi7yV]]
/usr/sbin/networksetup -setairportnetwork Airport atams F3fd+mi7yV
-removepreferredwirelessnetwork Airport heritage
I did this on terminal and it worked. so how can i know deploy this to all laptops that are directly plugged in.

File preview thumbnails aren't working for Acrobat DC files in Windows Explorer

I just upgraded from Acrobat XI to Acrobat DC on Windows 7, and now any new PDFs I create display with a generic PDF icon rather than a thumbnail preview of the file. Files created in Acrobat XI are displaying correctly (see screenshot). Is anyone else experiencing this and is there a resolution?

jzawada wrote:
This is still not working.
I have uninstalled Acrobat Pro DC, but when I go to the linked download page, select Acrobat XI Pro, and click the button which says "Download Acrobat XI Pro," it begins to download Acrobat Pro DC.
Does a link need to be updated or something...?
Previous versions of Acrobat can be found on Adobe's FTP website. Acrobat XI Pro for Windows is at ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/win/11.x/11.0.10/ (latest version)
Acrobat Reader XI for Windows is at ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/11.x/11.0.10/
Choose your language from the appropriate subdirectory.
Other platforms are available higher up in the directory structure.
If running Windows, it helps to reboot your computer after removing Acrobat DC to remove any remaining files.
After reinstalling Adobe XI or Adobe Reader XI, you can restore your PDF thumbnails by going to File->Open and viewing the selected directory contents. Thumbnails will be recreated as you view them in the list. You don't actually have to open any file. To view the thumbnails in Explorer or on the Desktop, you may have to refresh the display (F5 or Ctrl-F5 or right-click, Refresh).

Did you import the old iPhoto library into the new one? That's not what you want to do because you will import all of the original, modified and thumbnail files as if they were original files. Lots of duplicates and useless small photos.
Do you have a backup copy of the library that you imported into to? If you do then bring it in and then use iPhoto Library Manager to merge the two libraries into a new, 3rd library.
If you don't then you'll have to try to fix the current one and then cull out the duplicates and small useless photos as follows: make a temporary, duplicate copy of your library and apply the three fixes in order as necessary.
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your HD/User/Home()/ Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your HD/User/Home()/Library /Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #3
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
If this doesn't fix the problem you'll have to start over from scratch and create a new library from the files inside the Originals folder of your current library. But first you should cull out the small photos that would be the thumbnails from the 2001 library.
Move the Originals folder to the Desktop, open and do a search for Kind=photo, File size is less than 10 KB. That should find all of the thumbnail files which you can then drag to the Trash. You might have to make that less than 50 KB. Then Import the remaining photos into a new iPhoto library.

I created documents in Word and when I email them the recipient cannot open them. Can you tell me why?

OK, I'm new at this so here goes.
I created some documents in Word and when I email them, the recipient canot open them. Does anyone know why? How do I fix that.

Make sure you have removed the tick for hide extensions in the save as panel and for best compatibilirty choose the format as Word 97-2004 (.DOC) or better still Rich text format (.RTF)
If the extension is not appended any one with a Windows PC will be unable to open the document.
Windows is dumb and without the extension doesn't know what programme is supposed to open the file !
That said they CAN add the extension themselves if they know what application created the document in the first place.
Also in the mail app click on the Edit menu at the top of the screen scroll down to attachments and in the pop out menu make sure Always send windows friendly attachments is ticked.

Some photos in iphoto are missing and there are blank thumbnails which when i try to open them show an exclamation sign

The exclamation make is an indication that iPhoto has broken the file path to the original photo.

Custom theme does not show up in theme chooser

Hi all,
I'm just trying to create a custom theme based on a presentation template I created. When I do this on my private iMac 2009 with Keynote 5.1.1 this works without any troubles and the theme shows up when selecting "New from Theme".
If I do this on my brandnew MBP (very late 2011) it won't show the theme in the theme chooser.
I looked it up, the theme file is located in the right folder.
Another strange thing that happened to me is that if I save the presentation as a theme on the desktop and open the file from there, Keynote opens a new file but with 800x600 pixels instead if the original 1920x1080 pixels and completely messes up the dimensions etc.
I did reboot, nothing changed.
Any ideas?
P.S.: I transferred my complete Mac from a 2009 MBP with all content and apps.

This is happening to me too. So, what can we do about this? I am trying to make a custom theme for a high profile business client and this stuation is making me look bad.
