Quicklook thumbnail generation without folded corner

If you look at the thumbnail icon in List or Column view in Finder, a JPEG image is not shown with a folded corner. However when I write a quicklook plugin using the XCode 3 wizard, I get folded corners on the icons.
Can anyone assist me in suppressing the corners, and making it just a plain image?
It might be a start if I could locate the PLIST for the plugin that actually provides thumbnails for JPEGs, but I can't seem to find it.
I have found somewhere that this can be done by adding QLDisableIconCorners = on to the QL plugin's PLIST, but this doesn't seem to help me.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Neil

Thought I better clarify that I'm using QLThumbnailRequestSetImageWithData to generate the thumbnail, and passing it an JPEG or an ICNS file. Same results for both.

PDF thumbnail generation has stopped working

Hello Together,
formerly I was using Adobe Reader X at an actual Patch Level on a 64 Bit Windows 7 system. At that time PDF thumbnails were no subject for me. Now I've upgraded to Adobe Acrobat X Pro and uninstalled Adobe Reader X. Then I wanted to use the thumbnails. That was no problem as I found a link to a tool which fixed my issue: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/305220
Everything worked fine for me, until I noticed that one of my applications needed an installed Adobe Reader to work properly. So I reinstalled the Adobe Reader on my system again. This caused to stop the thumbnail generation: PDF files which existed prior to the Adobe Reader installation still have a thumbmail icon preview, but those who were generated after the installation still appear as a PDF icon.
Before installation the fix from thread 305220 my workaround was to open Acrobat X, the navigate to the open dialog, moving to the folder with the PDFs within and wait that Acrobat finished the thumbnail generation. But this workaround now is out of service, too. So my assumption is, that reinstalling Adobe Reader screwed up something in my Adobe installation which I cannot find at the moment which has nothing to do with the initial problem with displaying thumbnails.
Performing some repair installation didn't help:
   (1) repair Adobe Reader, then repair Adobe Acrobat --> no change
   (2) repair Adobe Acrobat, then repair Adobe Reader --> no change
   (3) repair Adobe Reader only --> no change
   (4) repair Adobe Acrobat only --> no change
   (1), then apply fix from thread 305220 --> no change
   (2), then apply fix from thread 305220 --> no change
   (3), then apply fix from thread 305220 --> no change
   (4), then apply fix from thread 305220 --> no change
   apply fix from thread 305220, then (1) --> no change
   apply fix from thread 305220, then (2) --> no change
   apply fix from thread 305220, then (3) --> no change
   apply fix from thread 305220, then (4) --> no change
I hope, that I'm not the only one who got this problem and, hopefully, someone found a solution for this.

Why not?
Did you at least download & read the user manual?
You can always call Apple Care if you are still under warranty. Otherwise, take your iPod to an Apple Store or an AASP.

Aperture thumbnail generation forever

Hello
I like to have all my pictures in one place to share them with apple tv, so I decided to give aperture a try.
I imported all images (about 36000 from 12 years) into one aperture library.
Before importing I switched off face detection and preview generation.
After finishing I had a 236 GB library, but aperture starts to generate some thumbnails.
Problem is, it freezes on generating them.
I used the activity window to hunt down what is happeing and found out that it stops when it comes to a specific picture.
So I managed to
1) start aperture
2) open activity window
3) stop the thumbnail generation when it starts
4) delete the picture where the aperture have problems
This way I managed to get from about 5700 thumbanisl to do to a number of 3500 thumbnails to do, but aperture keeps freezing at a single pic (the bad one)
But now, aperture starts thumbnail generation so quickly that I cannot open activity window and stop the progress before it reaches the bad one.
@Apple: could we have an option like "safe start" that won't schedule any processes for thumbnails before the user wants it?
So, any ideas out there? I tried everything I found like repairing, rebuilding, no help.
Is there any kind of log to look into? I am a newbie in mac os and aperture.
Regards
Klaus

This "bad" one is a video, some of the former bad ones were videos too, so does aperture have a problem in general with video files? Maybe its a good idea to just import all pictures and do the videos in a separate step afterwrds? Otherwise with 36000 pics (and about 300 videos between them) this is tedious...
Klaus,
Aperture may have a problem with videos, if you have a problematic video codec installed, if the video is corrupted, or incompatible with Aperture. What kind of videos did you import?
If you can, delete the whole project, so that you do not need to select the video and reimport only the image files.
Check, if you have the 3ivxVideoCodec installed - if yes, remove it,
see: Aperture 3: May be unresponsive or have slower performance with third-party video codec
This codec could have been installed for example by FlipForMac.
If you do not want to delete all of your last import, you could try to delete the bad video directly from the Aperture library package:
Quit Aperture. Ctrl-click the Aperture library and select "Show Package Content" from the pop-up menu. Open the "masters" folder and navigate to the Year-Month-day of your last import. If you can find the video there, remove it, but don't change anything else. Afterwards the video should show as missing. Delete the version from the library. The dates in the Library package are based on "Import session", not capture dates.
Before manipulating the Library, make sure you have a current backup.
Regards
Léonie

What is the procedure for a hard boot of my iPod touch 4th generation without itunes, and without computer, and without iPod data screen.?

What is the procedure for a hard boot of my iPod touch 4th generation
without iTunes, and without computer, and without iPod data screen?
6 months after purchase I updated my iPod touch as recommend by iTunes.
It has not worked since that day. It frozen (disabled) with a "connect to
iTunes" icon displayed...that is the only thing it does. itunes does not
recognize the iPod. My Windows7 computer recognizes an Apple device.
Other computers recognize the devise but if iTunes resided on that
computer it did not recognize the iPod
I suffered a setback with deep depression and am just now getting out of it enough to do something. The depression prohibited me from taking action.
I have done every procedure recommended from Apple help and external
sources. I did this thoroughly with help for other owners and IT experts,
Apple employees etc etc. I and associates have perform reboots utilizing a
number procedure using only button on the iPod. These were unsuccessful
also have performed.
Please do not ask me to do the usual.
Online I saw a process using the buttons on the iPod to completely
reformat
the iPod. It was NOT the hold buttons for 10 sec let go of one wait 8 sec
etc. I can not find the process now...a friend showed it to me in passing
I have lost contact with him. This is the procedure, I believe, that with
enable me to update and use the iPod.

You need an internet connection and likely a computer with iTunes but an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with the FindMy iPhone App may work by:
If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
Otherwise
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
Yo may have to go to an Apple store or a friend's house with an internet connection and iTunes.

HT201263 I have restored my iPad (first generation without retina display) and it finishes restoring software but will not stay on for me to restore the data and then shuts off whenever I try to turn it on. I don't believe that it is charging! HELP!

Long story about what happened but basically I was using the iPad (first generation without retina display) to watch TV at one point it had 20% battery so I plugged it in then it wasn't charging and I didn't realize so it got to 5% and shut off. I plugged it in to charge it but it just kept shutting down and showing the apple logo, then briefly showing me my home screen before shutting off again. I waited a while to see if it would charge, while it continued to turn off and on by itself. Finally, I unplugged it to see if it had gotten any charge but it just told me to plug it in again. I plugged it into a different charger, same thing. I decided to try connecting it to a computer and it stopped turning on but it did not seem to charge. I tried restoring it as it said in the article. It worked until it got to restoring the iPad from the backup that I had because it immediately shutdown before I could continue. I tried to restore it a second time but still it shut down! I'm so frusturated and I cannot afford to get a new iPad, I need it for school and there is no Apple store for 80 miles nor do I have any insurance or warranty on it! (Obviously considering it's the first iPad to ever come out.) I really don't know what to do! HELP

Thumbnail Generation Logic is weird?

I have been spending some time on Aperture for the last couple of days with Trial version 2.1. As you know, if thumbnail is not generated (and cached of course) for an image, Aperture will show a fuzzy/blurred image in Browser Mode, and that will get clear as Aperture generates the thumbnail. As far as I can see here is how thumbnails (rendering/generation/caching) work on Aperture:
1. Aperture has some kind of a "smart" algorithm (which really is not that smart at all, at least for me) to select candidates for thumbnail generation (will go into this a bit more below)
2. Menu option: Images -> Generate thumbnails is quite useless in that it does not care what images you select (almost none) if you select more than 5-10 images. For example, select 500 images and hit Images->Generate thumbnails, it ignores what you selected and goes with its own selection algorithm. Having said that, selected images might have some kind of an influence on this, but it definitely does not render it for all 500 images, e.g. it will render 10-20 images around the current window...
3. "Smart" selection algo is not that smart I said, because it tries to select images around what you are viewing, but keep failing to do so. For example, in brower only window, hit page down couple of times, and it starts generating thumbnails for a few items on the current window/view pane, but not all!... So, it ends up generating thumbnails for like 3-4 only out of 20, and you end up with a page that has 80% broken thumbnails, 20% properly generated ones.
4. For the 80% in (3), you click on one of the images, then it starts rendering/generating the thumbnail for that particular image. Sometimes it does this in batches, e.g. you click on one and it renders that one, the one on the left and right as well, but sometimes only the one you clicked.
5. Sometimes for the same 80% in (3), you select a few images and it renders these as you select them. Sometimes it just does not. If it does not, you can hit Generate Thumbnails and it will generate it for the few.
6. What is even weirder is that, for the 80% in (3), you select some images, and it does nothing. But, then you change the focus (e.g. alt+tab to a different window) and come back to Aperture, and it will start rendering...
All in all, it is quite annoying to have inconsistent behavior like this, and the fact that Generate Thumbnails is useless is something I find really stupid! If it is there, it should work, if it is not intended to what it does, you should remove it...
I am soo ready to buy Aperture, but this thumbnail generation stupidity and constant fight with Aperture to get proper thumbnails is driving me nuts...

I really need to use a program that allows call via command line as ImageMagick to use it in an application .Net, I can generate the thumbnails with Illustrator CS5 files, but can not generate from Illustrator CS6 files, this error only appears with files from CS6, as if you know help me thank you.
Already gratefully,
Miranda

Scaling objects without scaling corner effects

When I scaled an object with Command-> and Command-< in CS3 (Mac), the corner effects would not be scaled. If I had 4mm round corners, they would still be 4 mm after scaling the object. In CS4 however, the corner effects are scaled too. Is there a simple way to scale an object WITHOUT the corner effects? I'm sure it's possible, but I can't find the answer...

Thanks, but that only works when you click and drag to scale. I am talking about scaling with key's only: cmd-< and cmd->. I can't see an option or anything to use those keys and NOT scale corner effects. Okay, of course you could say 'Well, why don't you click and drag then!' but there is a specific document I have to work on every week that almost requires me to use the key commands for scaling.

Changing "Icon size" causes .ARW thumbnail image in folder to disappear and icon to appear

Is this a bug everyone is getting?
Have .ARW files in a folder and it shows thumbnail images of the .ARW files, but if I increase or decrease the slider to different sizes (to view better), a icon will appear instead of the . ARW preview image. Out of all the sizes on the slider only 2 or 3 sizes will show the .ARW thumbnail image.
Any ideas? known issue?
thanks

The method I use is to open the jpeg file Command+A (select all) then Command+c (copy) close the jpeg preview window. Select the small icon on the top left corner of the get info window for the perspective folder. Command+v (paste) puts the copied image in and it then becomes the icon. If you want to use the drag and drop method you will need to convert the image file to an icon which can be done with automator. The icon however is less clear when you do that.

Bridge Thumbnails Appear Without Their Names

I am wondering why my thumbnails in bridge appear without any file name below them. I've tried everything I can in the preferences to show the thumbnail names but I cannot figure it out. When one of the thumbnails is selected, the larger preview is shown with it's file name, just not any of the thumbnails. This is effecting my workflow please help!!
How can I make the thumbnails appear with their file names listed???

What OS? What
exact
version of Bridge? Have you already purged the cache for each offending folder trough the Tools Menu in Bridge? (
DO NOT
use the purge cache command in Bridge preferences!)

Camera RAW and Elements Hang during Thumbnail Generation...

Ever since I upgraded to the newest version of Camera Raw, I have been having issues with Photoshop Elements hanging while automatically generating thumbnails, anyone else notice this issue?
Hang is not quite the right description... So I import a batch of pictures and PSE starts processing the files ("Generating Thumbnails" is in the tool bar at the bottom). After a few images are processed, it just stops. If I try to force an update of the thumbnail ("Update Thumbnail" option under the Edit menu), a broken image just come back. No mater what I do, it just sits there and will not resolve the thumbnail issue until I close out PSE and go into task manager and make sure that the task is killed.
On the other hand, while I can not get the thumbnails generated, I can go into the Editor with a raw image and it opens in Camera Raw without any problems.
Anyone else having similar issues? Know anything to try?
* Yes I have the most recent version of Camera Raw. When I downgrade to an older version of Camera Raw, the issue seems to go away.
* I can not use the old version all the time because I have a Nikon D300, which is only supported in the newest version. I confirmed the working of things with some of my D200 files.
* I am using Photoshop Elements 6.0, mainly for organization of all my images because I take a lot of them.
* I am doing this on a Windows XP x64 machine
* Based on a post someplace, I did check that my default printer on my machine is set to a printer that is always on the machine (PDF writer) and not a network printer/printer that has been disconnected.
Thank you for any help/suggestions that anyone can give me...
-Matt

Have you tried the Elements forum?
Not many visitors here have Elements, mostly PSCS and Bridge.
If you where using Bridge I would suggest to purge cache and or refresh the preferences but I have no clue if this is possible in Elements? :-(
Edit:
Do you have enough RAM installed, generating thumbnails from RAW can take a lot of energy from the OS...

3rd Generation ipod - Folder with exclamation icon

I have had a 3rd generation 20g ipod for a number of years. Recently I switched it on and it showed the folder and exclamation icon and the device was frozen. I have been on every site and carried out every listed procedure but the device remains frozen. I have removed the battery and hard disk but when reconnected the problem still remains. Under Mycomputer the computer is not seeing the ipod so I cannot reformat it. I recently took the hard disk to a specialist and his device could see and read and play music files from the hard disk. Even when the hard disk is disconnected the ipod shows the folder and exclamation mark. Have I a problem with the Firmware and if so can it be shocked out of its current seizure! Is there any point formatting the disk separately and then reconnecting in the ipod. Running out of options starting to get desparate
3rd generation 20g ipod Windows XP

I'm not sure that this will help, keego, but I'll give two links about this issue. The first one is an Apple article about it. And the other is a thread that I suggest checking out, since it has lots of info. Check out these links here:
iPod displays a folder icon with an exclamation point
Exclamation point and folder
That topic linked above that was posted here also includes some interesting advice: bang the right side of your iPod firmly against your hand or a desk. Try it out, because that worked for people on here!
Hope this helps, post back if it did or not!

Easy DMS - disable / control thumbnail generation

Hi,
I have set up DMS and everything works fine, except...
EasyDMS ist producing thumbnails from various files and I don't know where to control this behaviour. I have not set up anything according to thumbnails in SPRO. In EasyDMS preferences is nothing to change and the registry gives no solution, too.
It's generating bmp thumbnails even from jpg's, curious!
System is ECC 6.0 with EasyDMS 6.0 SP07.
TIA
Ralf Mörler
I'm out of office next week 20-24.08.07 it might take a while to read and answer, depends on availability of internet access.

Hi,
Please set the registry entry under this path. Create en REG_DWORD type entry - name it 'DisableThumbnails' (without qoutes) and set it to 1. Then restart easyDMS.
Registry path:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SAP\EasyDms\General
