Poor black box for multimedia widget with video

Hi,
When adding a multimedia widget to play video in my book, I can play the video properly however I cannot make the presentation nice.
1) I've a black box (instead of the first image of the video) and cannot select the slider in the inspector to select the first picture to show before video is started. It does not move.
2) I cannot select whether video is full screen or in a smaller box (Full Screen checkbox is not selected and greyed out)
3) The black box itself is fixed size and too small; I would like to extend it a bit.
4) Repeat and Controls are also greyed out
5) I cannot center the black box or put it where I want in the page.
Any point where you could help?
Thanks in advance.

I had a problem with imac screen going black. apple store diagnosed prob with video card which they replaced. Brought it home, turned it on (have done this 4 times) it starts up, wheel turns, there is a long bar at bottom which fills up, then it turns off

Apple guarantees their work, take it back.

Black box for Rating Stars

This is annoying to say the least.
Since iTunes 8.0 there is a black rectangle covering the stars in the ratings information when viewing the details of a song or playlist. The rating in the main browsing window are fine as well as when I right or Control click on a song. Only in the information window. With the rectangle up, I can click the Stars locations to change a rating I just can not see what I have picked. It dose not happen all the time, and I have not seen a pattern to what causes it to happen. Once it happens, I will have to restart my computer to clear the fault. Restarting iTunes only will not help. As it is a glitch in a shared property window I am guessing it could be memory or video driver related related.
I have read through a simular posting http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7947881&#7947881 that did not help. So I will share that I have an AGP ATI Radeon video card with the current drivers from AMD/ATI and I have even gone as far as to reinstall the video drivers and iTunes.
Ideas? Anyone else notice this?

So I finally upgraded to 8.0 as well, and I'm now up to repairing Quicktime four times in the last 48 hours. The repair works for a short time, but then it goes right back to the black box. I have significantly more songs than I do have space on my ipod, and the star rating is the only way to filter the songs that I actually want to listen to (on my ipod) versus the the songs that I already own.
Is there any other fix for this - surely more than three people have experienced this issue? How is it that I've yet to see a benefit from upgrading to new versions of itunes? I think 3.x is where I began losing confidence. The post holiday lull would be a great time for apple developers release a patch for this.... I'm just saying...

Can't fix black box on dock app with evilwm

I'm currently running evilwm and trying to get a dock app to work with it. Right now I am stuck with a black box on the bottom 1/5th of the screen where the dock application is located.
I have tried the following combinations, to no avail:
xcompmgr + cairo-dock
xcompmgr + docky
cairo-compmgr + docky
I have managed to get the dock to work in each combination, and the visual effects from the composite managers are working, but I can't get any of them to remove this black box.
I tried cairo-dock with both OpenGL and Cairo arguments, and neither worked. I'm confident that my drivers are functional, because I've been running TF2 with no issues.
I suspect that there are some compatibility issues where transparent backgrounds are not supported by evilwm, or some such, but for all my searching I can't find any documentation of this. I also cannot find any instances of people with this same issue.
Any ideas?

Oh. That is quite a different matter. An MMS message requires a download of data, which cannot be done while on a call. SMS, yes, data no unless your device has WiFi, which the 8330 does not.
Your earlier post stated you could receive a "txt", which is SMS.
Good luck.

Which cable should I have for my ipod with video

Hi I have ipod with video and bought the ipod fw power adapter gen, so I could charge my ipod away from my computer. I bought the wrong cable and sent it back and have received the wrong cable again. Can anyone help me and tell me which cable I should have, the cables I previously bought from apple are thin firewire cable 6-6 pin o.5m gen, and then ipod dock connector to usb 2.0.

Hi the firewire cable you mention is the one that i bought originally and it does not work with ipod video, the conection to my ipod with this cable is fine but the conection to the other end of the cable does not fit the charger, I checked the link that you both mention and it actually says that it is not compatable. The charger I bought says it works with ipod video thats why I am so confused to know what cable to buy and have made to mistakes already. If you can help me Id be delighted because its driving me nuts.

Do you need adobe photoshop or elements for the ipod with video?

I am so very frustrated. It took me three days to get quicktime and itunes installed. Finally figured that out. I go to hook up my ipod and it is not working. Ipod has not shown up at all. Instead I get the Windows Hardware finder trying to find the hardware/drivers for it. I have gone thru the 5 r's twice. I have tried different USBS. So this is what I need to know.
Do I have 5th generation. I cannot find it anywhere on the box. I got it for xmas and says that it plays video and slide shows. It says version 1.0 and model MA146LL.
On the box it list requirements. My computer meets the box requirements. But according to the website, 5th generation ipods need adobe photoshop or elements? Is this so? I don't have either would that be why it is not working?
The 5 R's. I have tried twice. With no success. Do I have to go thru my entire computer and delete every little file that holds ipods and Itunes? (I had to do this to finally get quicktime installed.) Do I need to delete Quicktime?
I have tried 3 usb ports none have worked. Why do they say try a different one?

With iOS 5 you do not need a computer. The new iPod comes with iOS 5. However, you have XP so you can install iTunes and sync with the iPod. However, you computer /XPdoes not support the iCloud features.

Upgraded to Mountain Lion and CS3, I am no longer able to access the correct dialog box for fine printing with Epson Stylus Photo 1400.

I have recently upgraded my Mac OS to Mountain Lion, and am using Photoshop CS3 together with Lightroom 5. To my absolute horror, in either Adobe program I am no longer able to access the dialog box which allows me to choose paper type, size, and print quality when attempting to print on my Epson Stylus Photo 1400. An excruciating hour on the phone with largely unintelligible folks at Epson seemed to prove the problem lies with Adobe instead of Epson. I'd greatly appreciate whatever advice might be forthcoming from the Community.

Well, this seemed to work.. can't believe it! After a year of messing with this!
from Stevejones5
"I found a way around this problem. GO to HD/Library/Printers/Epson/InkjetPrinter/ICCProfiles and you will find a file labeled Pro38.profiles. This is a package file. Control click on it and reveal contents. Then you can copy all the profiles and paste them into your Colorsync folder either in the HD/Library folder or your own Home folder/Library. Then the profiles will show up in Photoshop and Lightroom."
Key, is to Control click on the printer to "Open contents". Then open Resource folder. Copy everything in it and then paste it into the "Colorsync" folder in your Library. (Remember, to get to Library you have to hold the command key down for it to appear in "Go" Menu for Finder.
Then I reinstalled printer driver from Apple, then rebooted computer, then plugged in printer. And VOILA-- I can now select Epson Premium Photo Paper Luster!

Why do I get a black screen and no sound with video in iTunes 8?

Just downloaded the new iTunes. I don't have any video playback when I click preview in the store. No video when I try to play anything that I've already downloaded. The play cursor moves but I have a black screen with no sound. I'm hoping this is just a temporary glitch.
Any recommendations? I'm using the latest version of Leopard 10.5.4 on an Intel iMac.
PS: This same question is posted in iTunes download category too.

Yeah! Problem solved: It's a QT issue.
Cause: Mac Update Software downloaded a faulty QT.
Solution: Download QT from Apple's QT site.
Great to have the Video back

Central place for Multimedia (Music, Photos, Videos)

Hello,
I currently have multiple devices accessing centrally managed storage (QNAP NAS). I want to be able to use the same storage on the NAS for different devices (iMac/Macbook Pro/iPhone), users and clients including iPhoto, iMovie and iTunes.
Does anybody have a 'best practice' to setup this? In short: from multiple devices and multiple users I want to be able to share music, photo's and videos.
Thank's for your time/reply in advance.
Regards,
Ploertje

A large "other" indicates a corrupt file.

How do I create a message box for a listbox, with a 'move item up' and a 'move item down' button?

In my listbox I want to create an error message for when I click the 'move item up' button and the item is already at the top of the list, but I am not sure how to do it.
Here is the code I have right now:
if (ListBox. )
MessageBox.Show("Item is already at the top of list.");
return;
I also want to know how I would do the same for a 'move item down' button (if it is at the bottom of the list and I click 'move item down' button).
Thanks.

Here is the code,
C#
public void button1_click(object sender, EventArgs e)
if (ListBox1.SelectedIndex == 0) {
//MSGBOX
return;
//'Your move up code
public void button2_click(object sender, EventArgs e)
if (ListBox1.SelectedIndex == ListBox1.Items.Count - 1) {
//MSGBOX
return;
//'Your move down code
Insert each code in their own buttons.
VB.net
Public Sub button1_click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles UpButton.click
If ListBox1.SelectedIndex = 0 Then
'MSGBOX
Exit Sub
End If
''Your move up code
End Sub
Public Sub button2_click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles DownButton.click
If ListBox1.SelectedIndex = ListBox1.Items.Count - 1 Then
'MSGBOX
Exit Sub
End If
''Your move down code
End Sub

A little bit about drive S.M.A.R.T. status:
"The most basic information that SMART provides is the SMART status. It provides only two values: "threshold not exceeded" and "threshold exceeded". Often these are represented as "drive OK" or "drive fail" respectively. A "threshold exceeded" value is intended to indicate that there is a relatively high probability that the drive will not be able to honor its specification in the future: that is, the drive is "about to fail". The predicted failure may be catastrophic or may be something as subtle as the inability to write to certain sectors, or perhaps slower performance than the manufacturer's declared minimum."

Why there is a small black blinking dot got on FLV video??

I have 11 FLV videos in my captivate file and when i published it there is a small black blinking dot on all my videos. Does anybody have the same problem? I checked the original videos and the dot is not there.

I don't have experience with FLV doing that, but that sounds similar to what happens when the slide quality is not high enough to support the graphic objects on a slide.
Have you tried increasing the image quality for the slides with video to 'high' or 'optimized?'
