Grab picture of the day with Spry?

Hi,
I want to grab the picture of the day from:
nasa APOD site
and make that picture spry-fade in on my web page. Since I
don't know how big the picture will be I need the frame to auto
size or use spry shrink/grow to set pixel size??
Not sure how to proceed.

You can only request AJAX data from the same domain as your
Spry page.
Therefore, you will need to use a server side component to
get the APOD image and then use that for your data source.
You can use their RSS feed to get the URL, but they don't
provide the image height and width, so you will have to make it a
standard size, or let your CSS layout autosize for it.

NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day & iCal

I have set up an automator workflow to have NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) as my desktop image. It would automatically change each day via iCal. AWSOME PICTURES, by the way.
I have a snag . . . iCal isn't running the workflow . . . I had to use spotlight & click on the application to start the workflow today.
To originally set this up, I selected "iCal Alarm" from the plug-in list so that Automator can create an appointment for this workflow as a daily event. I chose 3:00 AM as the start time.
I checked iCal preferences, and found the "day" start & end times where 8 AM & 6 PM. Could this be the reason why the workflow didn't start when I turned my computer at 5 AM today?
Also, I'm Wireless, & connect to the internet manually each time . . . I'm wondering if the workflow gets snagged because I don't have an internet connection automatically with start-up?

The Automator, as plug in, and iCal works perfectly at the alotted time. The only snag is that I have to be internet connected at the time the program is sheduled to run. I am wireless, & opt to manually "click in" to the internet at each start up. So, if I start up the computer
ii after the scheduled workflow start
, the Automator kicks in immediately to play catch up, but quites as soon as it can't connect to the URL . I can't connect to the internet fast enough, manually, to accommodate the Automator workflow.
I'm wondering if I have my wireless connection
ii connect
at start up, Automator won't be interupted & the APOD will appear at start up, even if I start my computer a little
ii after
the iCal workflow start.

Bing Animated pictures of the day won't run on firefox, picture is different. Why?

After a Firefox update, somewhere in the last 3 to 4 months when it comes up on my home page, which is Bing, if the picture of the day is a short video loop, which occurs 3 to 5 times a month, the video will not play. I have activated the control that says if a picture is a video, play it but this makes no difference. I have checked this out by running Internet Explorer, which also has Bing as my home page, and the short video loops run. I have also noticed that if the picture of the day is a video loop, the picture on Firefox is a different view of the same photo that is on Internet Explorer besides also not animating. Why is this? The latest video loop on Bing was yesterday (February 11). It did not animate on Bing and is a different view of the scene.

Did you check the Bing settings for the home page?
*http://www.bing.com/account/homepage
Videos and panoramas:
*Choose what happens when the homepage image is a video or panorama.
**Play automatically
**Don't play automatically
**Show a still image

Picture of the Day

Does anyone know what happened to the app "Picture of the Day?" I believe it was a National Geographic app, but it disappeared from everywhere..thanks for the help!

It may have been removed by the creator or the Apple iTunes team for various reasons.

Random astronomy picture of the day

Not sure where to put this, I found a script on t'internet for downloading today's APOD and setting it as the gnome background. I then modified it to:
a) fix it to work with gif images as well as jpgs.
b) add xfce4 compatibility
c) get a random image instead of todays image

If you'd like to add it, the following works with feh:
# Uncomment ONE of the following for use with feh:
#feh --bg-tile "${APODWALLPAPER}/${FILENAME}.jpg"
#feh --bg-center "${APODWALLPAPER}/${FILENAME}.jpg"
#feh --bg-scale "${APODWALLPAPER}/${FILENAME}.jpg"
#feh --bg-seamless "${APODWALLPAPER}/${FILENAME}.jpg"
Also, line 26 should read rm -rf ${APODWALLPAPER} as ${APODWALLPAPER} is a dir, and most users would (probably) want to avoid confirming the removal of it every time.
I also get this error, even though everything seems to work:
./apodwallpaper.sh: line 15: jot: command not found
./apodwallpaper.sh: line 16: jot: command not found
./apodwallpaper.sh: line 17: jot: command not found
Jot isn't in the repos or AUR, is there an alternative?

My MacBook Pro got wet and I lost all of my childs photos from the day she was born. Is there anyway I could get these pictures back from my iCloud? I actually care more for getting the photos back than I do my laptop. Please help! Thank you!

Welcome to the Apple community khnkOliver.
I assume these photos, or at least not all of them weren't in photo stream.
You should be able to recover your photos from a back up.

Here's my Vent of the Day - How about one topic/thread per subject?

I see lots of topics/threads started that are exactly the same as ones already out there, and many of those could be answered if the OP would just search what's already been said, or read generally available information before posting. And then there are so many posts for which even the OP knows don't have an answer. It's just hard to wade through all these repetitive posts to find the ones that need answers or could be informative to all.
_For instance, how about a single thread for some of these_?
How do we get our free cases
When will Apple make a hardware change to iP4
Do you think I should buy now or wait
I'm happy with my phone, why aren't you
Let's all complain about Apple, Steve, whatever
Now what was it that was said in the Press Release? (like maybe go read it)
Face Proximity should be fixed
Antenna Problem should be fixed
So that's my vent for the day (everyone else is doing it). Come to think of it, I'm gonna change the topic of this post to "Here's my Vent of the Day"

Keep in mind that a lot of new or occasional Discussions users are not familiar with how the Discussions search engine works & that it is, to be kind about it, more than a little quirky. For instance, even many regular users don't know that the default search box scope is different depending on the category you use it from. And compared to "smart" search engine technology like say Google or bing uses, you often need to use the arcane, 1990's era syntax mentioned in Search Tips to get good results.
Plus, users not already familiar with an issue or its terminology often have no idea how to create a good search query that doesn't produce an overwhelming number of unrelated hits.
Besides, venting & ranting are close cousins & the ToU make it clear these forms of self-indulgence are not really acceptable topics for Discussions to begin with. I'm sure a huge number of Discussions users are frustrated by all the topics taken over by such things, but {ahem} venting that frustration is just adding more fuel to the fire, so to speak.
My point may have been more clear if I hadn't somehow posted this on the Discussions area instead of the iPhone4 one, where there are continual repeats of the same topics (most of which have no answer anyway)

Entire days of pictures are not loaded on iCloud, while most of the days are loaded. Weeks has passed, while I was connected to wireless, so I dont understand why still emtire days are missing...

I noticed an entire series of its always sunny in philadelphia is missing from my apple tv "purchased" section where i can stream it directly from itunes...I just purchased the new season and not showing at all

TS4436 how do I find out the day I took a picture

how do I find out the day I took a picture?

If you mean the metadata embedded to a phone, many photo applications support this, such as iPhoto, Adobe Lightroom.

TS2755 Earlier in the day I could send pictures via iMessage and now I can't. Why?

I don't understand what is going on with my imessage. I sent a picture on my iphone and ipad mini earlier in the afternoon. Now here it is hours later and I can't send a picture on either device. What the heck is going on and why can I only send texts. I had to log off wifi on my phone just to send a freaking photo. HELP!

I think that explains it.
Either you're on a different WiFi setup or if you're on the same one, it has lost some of the quality (speed and/or clarity) it had earlier in the day.
Something about your WiFi setup is now different.

HT4528 I recently got the iPhone 5s and I transferred all of my music, pictures, etc. over from my iPhone 5. My music was playing fine the day I got it (2 days ago) and now my music skips, stops in the middle of the songs, or just stops playing and exits.

What can I do?

Not sure if this will help but a reset is the first thing to try. To reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

HT1688 I have pictures on my camera roll that when I try to click on them the only thing I get is a white screen. I took about 10 pictures on the same day and in the middle of all the pictures it has about 5 that come up white when I try to click on them.

I recently took pictures at a family outing and all the pictures appear on my camera roll but when I click on about 5 of the pictures they all pull up as a white screen even though I can see the picture on the camera roll. How do I get these to pull up when clicked on ? I have completely shut the phone off twice thinking this would reset pictures but it has not made a difference. What can I DO??

My sister's 5s is having the same issue since yesterday.
Neither resetting via holding home+power buttons helped, nor the "reset all settings" in the settings. The only option left is erasing the iPhone and setting it up as a new phone ( or restoring from a backup?)

Question of the day: In which Thread context does the main method run ?

let's say, you create a JFrame in the main method:
public static void main(String[] args)
new MyJFrame();
let's suppose, you construct the whole JFrame
inside the constructor, which contains a lot
of other Swing components, like JTree's and more.
AND the JFrame calls setVisible(true) in its
constructor.
-> According to my knowledge, this won't work
properly - it will function, BUT you will get one
or two quite big exceptions (which usually start
with a nullpointer exception, produced by the
PLAF, but the whole stacktrace shows, that the
the exception was thrown AND catched inside
the Swing objects.
Reason for this would be, that all operations
after the "setVisible(true)" statement must be
carried out in the eventdispatch thread, according
to Swing rules.
Now, as you can see by running the source below,
the main() method always is processed in special thread,
NOT the event dispatch thread - which produces the above behaviour.
My Question:
Wouldn't it have been easier to let the JVM
process the main() methods right in the
event dispatch thread ?
Or:
Why is the JVM designed to process the
main() method in a special thread and not
the Swing event dispatch thread ?
opinions?

package Test1;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class Frame1 extends JFrame
public Frame1( final String title, int position )
this.setSize(400,300);
this.setLocation(position,position);
this.setVisible(true);
if( SwingUtilities.isEventDispatchThread() )
System.out.println("Constructor of "+title+" is processed IN the event dispatch thread.");
else
System.out.println("Constructor of "+title+" is processed in ANOTHER than the event dispatch thread.");
public static void main(String[] args)
// First creation just from the startup thread context :
new Frame1("first Frame", 60);
// Now we let the second creation be done in the
// eventdispatch thread context for sure :
SwingUtilities.invokeLater( new Runnable()
public void run()
new Frame1("second Frame",120);

Matt,
it's been so long, I don't have the full answer in my head.
This page on Adobe.com has an example that shows Flash 4
mouse stuff (I'm Mr
Vague today) when you scroll down. Your timelinme reference
will be
something like
TellTarget(_Root, gotoAndPlay(50))
Hopefully from that vagueness you can locate the right
answer.

IPhone now opening iPhoto when no pictures on the phone to upload

Not sure if this is a general issue or something related to me.
Since the iPhoto update a couple of days ago iPhoto opens every time I connect my iPhone and goes to the screen allowing me to download pictures. There are, however, no pictures available to select for download. There are also no pictures in the 'Camera Roll' on the iPhone so iPhoto shouldn't be being started anyway.

I hate to jump a thread, but this one seems the only remotely similar problem to the one I have. Since the recent iPhoto upgrade to 8.1.1, my iPhoto opens every time I reboot or start the computer. I do not have a camera attached. I do, however, have (1) a 500 GB Seagate back-up drive, and (2) a Kodak ESP9 All-in-one printer attached -- but nothing else, aside from a Bluetooth Razar Orochi mouse my daughter talked me into buying so she could use it for games, which I don't use in bluetooth mode but have hooked up by USB.
How do I get this iPhoto opening on start-up to cease?
I have reported the matter on Provide Feedback as a bug.
