Preview and images problem

Hi, everybody, I am new to these topics. I recently upgraded my wife`s MacBook to a 160 Gb HD and 2Gb Memory (one 2 Gb in one slot). Everything worked great till the moment she received a pen drive with some photos. Since then, Preview stoped working. It opens in the dock but it does not open any pictures nor pdf´s nor anything (It does fast preview). Even when one tries to attach a picture to a mail then Safari (4.0) crashes. I tried many things: repair disk permisions; repair disk; Safe boot; but nothing works. Then also tried to reboot from its Install disk; to Archive and Install (it did not); but now, it is not mounting any DVD nor Cd´s. It is a very difficult situation if anybody can help, we would appreciate. Thanks in advance.

Looks like you were doing the right thing. Acrobat.com had some issue yesterday afternoon and I encountered similar problem then. However the problem was solved and I was able to upload images fine in the evening. When did you encounter the problem? If it was about the same time frame, could you try again and see if it is better now?

Preview and image capture don't save imported scanned image

Hi. Both preview and image capture aquire the scanner and displays the image overview. But when proceeding
to scan, the application simply hangs and no image is saved.
Maybe some prefs file is corrupted. Tried removing the com.apple.Preview from ~/Library/Containers, but didn't help....
What to do???

Not sure if this is relevant:
1) TWAIN-BRIDGE is installed otherwise mavericks won't talk to the scanner.
2) recently added an HP printer (no scanner). Shouldn't conflict with the scanner driver, but then again.....

Preview and Image Capture Not Recognising Scanner

Preview and Image capture have stopped recognising my networked Canon MX350 scanner. It seemed to occur after I used PhotoScore to scan some sheet music but that could be coincidence. I deleted the scanner driver and reinstalled it from the Canon website together with the MP Navigator software, and I am now able to scan from MP Navigator but not Image Capture or Preview. I have run Software Update but no updates are available.

Apple's official documentation only provides an information about printing by using this device - scanner is not listed. I would suggest to look for specific drivers on Canon's official webpage.

Passwords and images problem

Firefox image problem. In Firefox 3.6.12, every time I save an image that's already displayed on my screen, I see "one active download" appear in the bottom right of Firefox's window and the same image is also listed in downloads. The problem is that Firefox doing that uses more bandwidth. How do I set Firefox so that when I save an image, instead of that image getting re-downloaded from where it's stored on the internet, it's copied from wherever Firefox has it stored to display it so Firefox doesn't use as much bandwidth? Tools/options/advanced/network/offline storage is set to 50mb.
Firefox password problem. Tools/options/security/passwords has "remember passwords for sites" checked and there is nothing in my exceptions list. But Firefox keeps forgetting passwords, usually after restarting Firefox and or my whole system and on some sites, I don't even get asked "do you want to remember..." How do I fix this?
I do have CCleaner and it's set to run at startup, but all the boxes for Firefox are unchecked, so it's not the cause of either problem.

@cor-el
OK, I'll give that extension a try and see what happens, thanx! :-)
@venemovil
I right click and either select "save image as" or if I want to save an image to more than one location, I select "view image" and then use ctrl+s. Both results in Firefox re-downloading the image as I described above. It happens on every site I visit.
The password problem never happened before, but I will try disabling my extensions one at a time and see if it happens only whan a particular extension is turned on.
This is a screenshot of the extensions I do have installed.

I've also noticed that Firefox is forgetting what sites I've visited recently (I type in part of the url of sites I've visited sometimes as recently as a few hours ago and the entire url isn't in the suggested list) and I keep having to put the Fire FTP Button back in the toolbar (next to the home/stop/reload/back-forward buttons). That may be related to the pasword problem. I don't know.

Dark green previews and images

i've seen alot of comments about this, but can't get any of the previously mentioned fixes to work
i import RAW and JPG files from the card placed in the card slot of my iMac. images captured on Lumix GX1.
all images prior to 10.7.4 update have normal preview and full view image. images since update have dark green preview and full view in aperture. in other applications, images display normally.
have tried the terminal script idea and no luck (yes, removed the space). any ideas?
dan

dan,
what is your Aperture version? Have you upgraded to the latest version?
Maybe your raw decode presets file is corrupted.
Try to move the presets from your user library to the desktop, after quitting Aperture and logging off and on again. The presets file is located here:
Your home folder > Library > Application Support > Aperture > Raw Decode Presets.plist
To reveal your user library in the Finder use the Finder's "Go" menu from the main menu bar: select "Go" and hold down the alt/options key, until the library appears in the drop down menu, then select and open it.
Then navigate to the subfolder "Application Support > Aperture" and drag the Raw Decode Presets.plist to the Desktop; launch Aperture and try again.

What happened to my previews and images?

Calling all Wizards,
Was working in Lightroom 3.3 (64bit) on Windows 7 yesterday when all my previews and the Images went missing. The files and the catalogue entries are all still there (i.e. Metadata, keywords etc).
The thumbnails are grey and when you click on the image or try working in the developer module or any other for that matter, the image is grey. Zip, Zilch nudder.... or in polite english, no image.
I tried loading other catalogues, same issue.
I tried repairing Lightroom (i.e. re-install option), no change.
The only time I can see a thumbnail is in the import screen during a new import and there after, once the image is imported. No preview or image.
No luck at all trying everything I know to fix it.
Any help is really welcome.

Your monitor calibration profile may be corrupt.
For testing, please reset the profile to the systems default sRGB. If this helps, recalibrate your display.

Preview and Publish Problems

When I only have a few slides in a Captivate file - it will
preview and publish fine. When I have more than a few slides in
Captivate it will only preview and publish the first few seconds of
each slide.
Help!

Welcome to our community, Allison
Can you give us more detail?
* How many slides total are we talking about?
* What are you seeing that is telling you that only a few
seconds are there?
* Do the slides show then disappear? Or do they pause and you
don't see the rest if you click somewhere?
* How did you record? (Demonstration, Simulation, Full
Motion)
Hopefully with more information we might offer suggestions...

Scanning, Preview and Image Capture Problems

I've now attempted to do this, using three different, new printer/scanner machines. I've been attempting to scan a document (Epson 7400 and Epson XP-400 and HP Photosmart 310c) using Lion and a MacBook Pro. The scanners hum and haw and do "their thing," but then only a scanned image appears in the Image Capture window. Preview never opens. If I force Preview to open, then I get only partial scans, of the very bottom or the very top of the page that was scanned.
I've re-installed software multiple times for the scanners, but have run out of ideas and patience.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Jay

Autosave and image problems in Pages 5

I opened a doc from previous Pages version in new Pages 5 and got repeated Autosave errors. They said the file could not be autosaved as it was created by another application and the location could not be found. I then I saved it as a new document with a new name and when I opened it had removed all the figures. Any ideas why? This is a huge disappointment as I have relied on Pages as the "Anti-Word" to be stable and reliable

UPDATE
Some problems solved
Notice : I use a the french version. I'll try to use the right terms to get me understanded.
About those functions : group, ungroup, align, distribute... They get available when :
     - you first select one or more objects
     - in the Format Window at right you choose the « Arrange » menu.
     - Then you select (I'm not shure about this one in english) « Stay on the page ». Don't select « With text ». SEE IMAGE INSERTED here.
Now, what about the vertical ruler? I guess it's all gone in this version.
Also, to easily select multiple et specific objects I didn't find any way better then the shift-click avery one of them. Bummer.

Excel Print Preview and printing problems

After upgrading to Leopard, I get a blank page (same when I print) and MS Excel spreadsheet. Anyone else have this issue and what is the solution? Microsoft web site indicates an issue but there updates this month didn't do anything (same results).
Thanks for any help,
Marty

Thanks for the advice here. I've had the same problem using Excel to print to a Brother MFC-440CN printer. Used the workaround described above, but also selected 'Options' in Page Setup and then selected 'Format for Brother MFC-440CN'. Changed the print resolution to 600 dpi and was then able to preview & print. However, the document had to be reformatted to print in landscape, not portrait. Glad to hear that MS are working on a fix as this could be a real pain if it continues too long!

RTL8101 and Imaging Problem

ZFD 7.0.1
We have some Toshiba laptops with RTL8101e lan.
The systems fails to go to load the imaging system due to failed DHCP requests. It looks like it's autodetected an older realtek card, but on the log screen in says the link is down.
How do I build new drivers for the 8101?
Cheers
Rob

OK, got mine working. The r1000 driver in the latest driver pack (Feb
09) is compiled against the wrong version of kernel and won't load on my
system. I installed SLED 10SP2 on a spare workstation to get the correct
kernel version (2.6.16.60-0.21-default) and compiled the Linux driver for
my chipset (r6186) from realtek.com site.
Then i opened the initrd file and copied my new module into the correct
folder. I also had to edit the linuxrc.config file to change the newid
line that matched my card from r1000 driver to r8168 driver. then I
repackaged the initrd file and copied it my pxe server. the driver loads
and I can image OK. the kernel complains about unsupported modules
causing U taint but it does work.
I used TID 3421576 and zen documentation to complete the process. look
there for further details.

Possible solution for no preview and capture problems

We are part-time, intermittent users of FCPro - so numerous upgrades of QT, system10, FCPro have taken place since last we captured or did any editing. Seems like all our presets from former use have disappeared, leaving us starting fom scratch. Not using a sophisticated set-up, still capturing through the ADVC-100 with a non-controllable camera. All I know is, last time I captured, everything worked, and I never have had the option of device control.
After my struggling with the no preview issue all day, my husband DID do some maintenance stuff (delete preferences, repair permissions, etc) but I don't think that was a factor. Try the following (keep in mind, the ADVC is a pass-through "thing"(?)):
Audio/Video Settings
Capture Presets
Edit
Name: DV NTSC 48 Khz
Quicktime Video Settings: Digitizer DV Video
Input: DV-VCR
Quicktime Audio Settings: Device DV Audio
Please bother to post back if this solves your problem - then others will know it works.
Still having audio sample rate problem, so I may be back....

Using FCP 5.1.4 During the quest, I'm fairly sure we tried that repeatedly. I think the setting that made the difference between "working" and "not working" was the Quicktime (vers.7.2) setting for Input to DV-VCR. But you are right, I did need to reset the other setting in "capture now" screen to non-controllable device. I did look over past posts on this subject, and before I got cross-eyed from trying to digest too much techno-talk, I did seem to see a correlation with QT in people's observations.
Oh, and BTW, I wouldn't say it works like a charm - I keep having to go back to easy setup and re-choosing my settings. Sounds to me like something that is supposed to get re-set as part of the preview/capture procedure is actually re-setting the wrong variable, and creating a domino effect after that. There's bad code somewhere.

Firefox hotspot and image problems

i have a major problem with hotspots on my images. the links on the hotspots do not work in firefox. also, the image align is completely messed up. It works fine in ie, i simply have 2 .gif images next to each other, and in firefox, the images appear on top of each other.
even worse! - all links do not work on firefox, they are simple links placed on images! only one image has a working link, all the other images dont work on firefox!

The answer lies in the code. Post a URL to the problem page, and someone can take a look. Otherwise it's simply guesswork.

MS ACCESS, ColdFusion and Image Problems

I have done this before using PHP and Mysql and it was pretty
simple. I now need to do this in ColdFusion and MS Access 2003.
I want to store logos in a database. After reading up on it,
I found that you store images in Access using the OLE Object
Datatype - done. Now the real fun part starts.
I am trying now to display these logos from the MS Access
2003 database onto a webpage using Coldfusion. I have looked into
it, and one article suggested using the BLOB type - which is what
you do in MySQL, but in MS Access that option is not available. So
I looked into it somemore, and it seems that there are three
functions that you need to use, and they are in Visual Basic -
provided in part by Microsoft, but it seems EXTREMELY way too
complicated for simply displaying an image staored in a Database.
Has anyone been able to store and display images using MS
Access and Coldfusion before? If so, could you guide me?

The reason for storing the image in the database is that our
company wants it that way for portability reasons. Filenames
change, directories get lost when moving from one system to
another. Databases are easier to backup and are more efficient when
it comes to searching metadata. We have over 300 logos we must
store for our different organizations - having a directory for each
is complicated.
Has anyone had issues like this with Coldfusion and MS
Access? If so could you guide me?
-Thanks

Preview and Image Capture

These two questions pertain to the same two documents:
*How do I, in Preview, select to save two specific pages out of an incoming fax attachment containing 17 pages? What I get saved is the first page no matter what page I choose to save-as.
*In the alternative I screen-shot saved the two pages, and faxed them. But, instead of being sent as the normal sized pages (as they appear before transmission), the are sent one-third-sized and not readable. My cover sheet went out regular sized. I am faxing using Fax.com.

Use "Print" from Preview's "File" menu, set the page range, then click "PDF" at the bottom left to save as a PDF file. If they are not adjacent pages, use Combine PDFs
<http://www.monkeybreadsoftware.info/Freeware/CombinePDFs.shtml>
to remove the intervening pages.
