"preview" doesnt show gifs?

when i load a gif image that is an animation, "preview" app shows it as a picture i mean its supposed to show the animation . i mean its like the image is in pause mode or something cuz its supposed to be moving cuz its a gif file and its an animated picture and when i load it in preview its just as an jpg file(not moving) whys that?

It doesn't appear that Preview has the ability to "play" animated gifs. You can view each individual frame of the the animation.
From Preview Help in the Help menu;
Viewing animated GIFs
An animated GIF is a graphic file that shows a short animation. Preview lets you look at each frame in the animation as an individual still image.
1. Open the animated GIF file in Preview.
2. If the window's drawer isn't already visible, choose View > Drawer.
3. The drawer contains a thumbnail image for the animated GIF. The number of frames in the animation appears in the lower-right corner.
4. Click the triangle beside the thumbnail image.
5. Preview shows all the frames in the animated GIF. When you click a frame, the animation stops and Preview displays that frame.

    The second method will not work unless you have JDK 1.5.
    I simplified your code a bit to make it compilable.
    This solution should work:
    package applet;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.awt.*;
    public class backgammon_1 extends JApplet {
        public Icon puls_icon,bgicon,pulk_icon;
        private Image pul_s,background,pul_k;
        private JLabel bg;
        private JButton[] butonlar;
        public void init() {
            getContentPane().setLayout(null);
            this.setSize(744, 536);
            butonlar = new JButton[31];
            pul_s = getImage(getCodeBase(),"images/pul_sari.gif");
            pul_k = getImage(getCodeBase(),"images/pul_kahverengi.gif");
            background = getImage(getCodeBase(),"images/background.jpg");
            puls_icon = new ImageIcon(pul_s);
            pulk_icon = new ImageIcon(pul_k);
            butoninitialize();
            bgicon = new ImageIcon(background);
            bg=new JLabel(bgicon);
            bg.setBounds(0,0,getWidth(),getHeight());
            getContentPane().add(bg);
        public void butoninitialize() {
            for (int i=0;i<butonlar.length;i++) {
                if (i<16) {
                    butonlar[i] = new JButton(pulk_icon);
                    butonlar.setBounds(50*i,50,50,50);
    } else {
    butonlar[i] = new JButton(puls_icon);
    butonlar[i].setBounds(50*(i-16),100,50,50);
    butonlar[i].setContentAreaFilled(false);
    butonlar[i].setBorderPainted(false);

    With your iPod connected to your computer and iTunes running, select your iPod form the left pane, click the File menu in top bar, from there select "transfer purchases from iPod"

  • Illustrator document thumbnail previews not showing in finder window

    I am trying to find a way to view Illustrator document thumbnails (CS,CS2,CS3 and CS4) in Finder windows. Other documents such as .tiffs, jpgs, etc and Word and .pdfs show but not Illustrator.
    I used +show view options+ in the Finder, turning on and off show icon, show icon preview and show preview in column. The options seem to affect all other files but not Illustrator. All I get is the application icon but not the document thumbnail. Interestingly, I discovered if I manually delete the .ai extension the documents thumbnail appears, so I tried to turn off the +Show all file extensions+ in the Finder's Preferences. It changed other files but not Illustrator. Does anyone know how to accomplish this on a global basis without manually changing each files extension? It would allow me to the use of Quick Look on these files also. I did speak to Adobe and they thought it was an OS issue.

    This is a 'known' issue. Try SneakPeek Pro

    - If still problem, see it iTunes nows sees the iPod so you can restore the iPod.
    - Next see if placing the iPOd in recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovry mode:

    - Last, try DFU mode and restore.

    If you followed these instructions and you were unable to enter recovery mode, I'm still leaning toward a hardware problem.  Also, since you have IOS-7, read this.  It might help.

  • How can i show gif files through reports

    I have blob column in a table and i store text with some gif files there ...i made a report for that and i set the property of blob item like ..file format as "text" and containes html tags "yes" then i generate the report on html but when i see the on html i can see only text not any picture like .gif file ..
    if any body have the solutuion to show .gif files with text then tell me ...
    Thanx..

    hello,
    you say, you store text with gif images in a blob. the question would be, in what format. if you store HTML text there, the images are actually not stored in the document but only references to them. you might then check the src attributes of your IMG tags if they point to valid destinations.

  • I have a mac  book pro that i bought in late 2009. My current software is snow leopard version 10.5.8. I would like to get the new lion operating system but I cant without first getting the latest version of snow leopard. it doesnt show on software updat

    I have a mac book pro that i bought in late 2009. My current software is snow leopard version 10.5.8. I would like to get the new lion operating system but I cant without first getting the latest version of snow leopard. however when I go to update my software it doesnt show that any update is available.

    10.5.8 is Leopard, not Snow Leopard. You need the Snow Leopard DVD;
    You can get it only by phone now from Apple.
    In the US, call 1-800-MY-APPLE and ask for a sales assistant. Last quoted price was $19.99 for the single-user and $29.99 for the family licence.
    For other countries, check here; http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    Don't forget to ask for Sales; the tech support guys can't help.
    If you want Lion, rather than Mountain Lion, the same Sales team can give you a download code to use at the Mac AppStore.
    To get the App Store, you need to update your new Snow Leopard from 10.6.3 (which is the version on the installer) to 10.6.8 with the combo update; http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    Be warned that the upgrades will render a lot of older software unusable, and will need new drivers for printers and scanners in all likelihood.

  • Ipod shuffle 4th gen charges plays but doesnt show up in windows or itunes

    Ipod shuffle 4th gen charges plays but doesnt show up in windows or itunes tried to check usb driver but computer says it is working properly

    Just disconnecting it without ejecting should not cause permanent damage.  It may cause data corruption, if iTunes was in the process of syncing at the time.  But iTunes should still see the shuffle and (maybe) tell you to Restore it.
    Is it possible that the "accident" damaged the USB cable? 
    Make sure you have done this on the shuffle since the problem occurred
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1655
    And you should also shut down (power off) the computer, if you have not already.
    Have you tried more than one USB port on the computer (not a hub if you use one)?  You can also try it with all other USB devices disconnected, except for standard keyboard and mouse (if normally used).
    If those things do not help, what version of Windows do you use?
