Quicktime Thumbnail missing after publishing

I'm using iWeb '09 3.0.1. to build my website. I've got lots of quicktime videos. I used the Inspector to select a thumbnail for my Quicktime clips, but after publishing the clips just start in black. I've had this problem since I first built the site last year. I thought with the latest version of iWeb it would be resolved. No go. I'm having other issues like most of the videos not publishing, but I'm going to try a clean publish later tonight after I delete all the current files and folders from the host site. In the meantime, any suggestions on the thumbnails?
Thanks,
Erik

Erik:
As Roddy pointed out others have had problems with the poster frame feature in the Inspector/Quicktime pane. What's the URL of your site so we can see first hand what you're referring to.
There are alternative methods of adding a QT file to a page that might work for you. See this demo page: Opening Item in a New, Precisely Sized Window. This demo page has 8 videos on it using that method: PhotoPresenter Animated Slideshow Themes.

PDF thumbnails missing after optimization?

Hello. I have quite an urgent question. My business is sending out a PDF deck tomorrow and I am currently creating our PDF using 'Combine files into PDF' method in Acrobat Pro on Mac - default size compression.
When I finish creating the PDF (not optimized), all the pages are present. However, for the sake of sending the PDF in emails, I need to either Save As an Optimized PDF or Save As a Reduced Size PDF. I will be sending an Optimized PDF, but in both cases, as soon as Acrobat finishes creating the smaller PDF, I have page thumbnails missing/blank in the same places every time (pages 1, 5 and 33).
I have attached screenshots to this thread as an example. It's very odd, because the majority of people I've tested the PDF with say they have no issues with blank pages and that all pages appear fine in the PDF - both when viewing on computer and mobile devices, iPads etc. For me personally, the only issue with blank pages is when opening the PDF in 'View' mode - if I download the complete file there are no pages missing.
I was wondering if anyone can help me resolve this issue - I just don't want to risk sending this out to clients and some being unable unable to view certain pages in the PDF!!

After migrating, the iPhoto library appeared in the Library window in my left task pane of Aperture. I believe that the masters for the photos from iPhoto remained in iPhoto.
When I did the migration from my Time Capsule I pulled in my iPhoto Library and Aperture Library into my Pictures folder. Then I launched Aperture and everything looked great, except the thumbnails. The folder / project structure remained and both libraries were there. The pictures are actually there too. If I work on a single photo, the photo appears, but the thumbnails don't when viewing at a higher level such as a folder, project or all Photos.

Faces thumbnails missing after recovery from time machine

I got a new harddisk in my iMac via Apple's harddisk replacement program. I recovered all my data via a Time Machine backup (from a Time Capsule). All seemed fine after recovery of backup. When firing up iPhoto after the recovery iPhoto asks for updating all the thumbnails (don't know why). After a while everything seems fine - all photos are available with thumbnails in the events view. However all Faces thumbnails are missing - all persons in the faces view are black boxes. I can see that all the faces tagging are intact - when clicking a person I can see all the tagged images as black boxes. When switching the little "Faces - Photos" control to "Photos" I can see the photos containing all the tagged persons all right. I seems like it's only the face thumbnails that are missing.
So far I have tried the following without succes:
Repaired the iPhoto database with iPhotos own tool (holding Command and Option down when starting iPhoto)
Updating the entire library from an earlier backup
Updated the faces database files from an earlier backup as explained in this post
I'm out of good ideas now - can anyone help?

Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button,
and select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

RAW thumbnails missing after iPhoto library rebuild

iPhoto would not open for me shortly after upgrading to Lion. I rebuilt the library using command + option with all checkboxes checked. All JPEG thumbnails were present, but all RAW thumbnails just showed a black box with a dashed line. When I double click the missing thumbnail, the image does appear in iPhoto.
I then rebuilt the library a second time, but the problem is the same. The iPhoto library is in the normal place on the startup drive.
RAW photos were generated with a Canon Digital Rebel and Canon 40D cameras. I do have Aperture on the system as well.

As I say, I've seen it take 4 times to work.
Other than that:
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Quicktime Audio Disappears after Publishing

Hi -
I'm using iWeb 09; I have long been using iWeb to publish my website - part of that has been uploading mp3 files for people to listen to.
My problem is suddenly my files, which play perfectly in iWeb, don't even show up on the page after I publish it. Previously, when the page first loaded, the Quicktime symbol would appear under the image placeholder until the file loaded and then you could play it. Now, after waiting, there is nothing but the image placeholder.
For the life of me, I cannot figure this out. It is this way on Firefox; Safari 4 shows an Quicktime sybmol with a question mark (both on my Mac), and on a PC with IE7 it doesn't show up at all.
I've searched here and across the web and cannot find anyone else who has encountered this problem. Please help!
an example page is www.newlifelaurel.cc/podcasts_20090920am.html

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Is the podcase link right below this graphic or is the graphic?
Click to view full size
If so make sure the graphic is not overlapping the QT file.

Events and project thumbnails missing after moving to new computer

I just helped a friend to move to a new Mac. I have copied all her personal data to her new computer, so iMovie Events and Projects are present in her new Movie folder. However, after opening iMovie '08, all events and project thumbnails are missing. How could this be? Is there perhaps some library file that keeps track of all this that I need to copy as well? Is there a way to re-link iMovie with the events folder?

Try this:
First, make sure you've quit out of iMovie. Then go to your Movies Folder > iMovie Events > and then into the folder of the even that's giving you trouble. Drag the folder "iMovie Thumbnails" to your trash. Then open the folder "iMovie Cache" and drag the file "Cache.plist" to the trash. Restart iMovie. It should rebuild the thumbnails, and by regenerating the .plist file, it should have the data it needs to reed the new thumbnails into iMovie.
It worked for me. Hopefully it will work for you too.

Quicktime not playing after publishing page

I have a 13MB .mov quicktime which plays fine not only in iWeb and on its own, but plays when I put it loose in the Site folder and direct the browser to it, however when I add it to my site via iWeb and then publish, it shows up with a question mark over the quicktime. All my other movies with the same format play just fine, except for this one:
http://web.mac.com/jamin.duncan/iWeb/Site/BestBuy_Holiday4.html
if you remove the /BestBuy_Holiday4.html which is the iWeb html file and add /BBY_Pickup.mov it will play fine.
It's driving me crazy. Any ideas?
Thanks.

I think my problem may be related.
I have all the latest versions of everything.
I used iWeb to create and publish my site, took a week of trying with repetitive errors, finally successful.
However, some of the videos on my website only show a big blue "Q" with a question mark inside, and cannot play the video. The other videos show a "TV screen" with the beginning of the video displayed, I can click play and they play. But the problem of some videos just showing the "Q" confuses me. Thoughts?
I read the suggestion to look inside the Media folder to see if the movie file is there, but I don't know what this si or where to find it!

Help My site is missing after publishing changes

I created a site to replace a previously created one already on a server. I first deleted the existing one on the server. I published my new site to the desktop then used Fetch to upload it. Everything was fine, but some changes needed to be made. I fixed any problems in iweb, saved the site, then published to the same desktop folder and ftp-ed the files again only to find my site has disappeared only leaving me with a message of
The requested URL / was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
I first tried reuploading the files, next I got rid of the desktop folder and republished a new one then uploaded, then I deleted what was on the server and tried again. Nothing is working and i don't know where to begin to fix this.
the site is www.stairstepstosuccess.com. I notice when I get that error is only says stairstepstosuccess.com (without the www.) and wasn't sure if that was telling to someone more informed.
any help would be greatly appreciated- I'm losing sleep over this

wow! I didn't work for hours last night- which of those steps would you suspect did the job? Or, is there just a delay sometimes?
What a relief! I hope that doesn't happen again

Skin missing after published to LCMS

the progress bar that i see in captivate preview does not
appear once i publish the course. it also is being published as a
seprate swf. any addice on how to publish as one synched swf file??

Hi nerdy12 and welcome to our community
The fact you aren't seeing the progress indicator seems to
suggest you are possibly viewing the output incorrectly. To view it
incorrectly is to bypass the companion HTML page and double-click
just the .SWF. Using the companion HTML page is a good idea because
it properly sizes your Captivate movie.
To create single .SWF output in Captivate 2, click Project
> Skin... > Borders tab and DE-select the "Show borders"
check box.
Cheers... Rick

After publishing I can no longer see the poster frame on QuickTime

I cant figure out why after publishing to the web (MobileMe), I can no longer see the poster frame on the QuickTime movie that I made. When I publishing to a folder on the mac to check my results I can see the poster frame, so it is only happening when i am publishing to the web. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening or have a solution?
Thanks
Chris

You cannot delete this icon as its preinstalled on the iPhone. You may have inadvertently moved it to another page or into a folder. I would suggest you look on all the pages and in all folders or alternatively do a search on your iPhone. It will at least tell you if they are still there but unfortunately not where. You could also do a home screen layout reset settings>general>reset>reset home screen layout.

Cap6 Missing slides after publishing

Hi. Captivate 6 (with latest patch) is failing to publish all slides in a course. With each republish, different slide are skipped. Note that this same course file published successfully about a month ago. The only difference then was that the project did NOT use a playbar - it had custom back and next buttons. Buttons have been removed and the default playbar is now in use.
There are only 15 slides. The number of slides that show up after publishing varies each time.
After one publish, I was able to back into the missing slide - then it disappeared again.
Project specifics:
publishing to SWF (tried both Flash 10 and 11)
no audio
no other imports (such as PowerPoint slides)
contains a few simple advanced actions (show/hide)
contains a name variable
uses animation effects
No slides are Hidden.
there is no branching.
...what else?
Assuming the file was corrupted - I started a new project from scratch, just copying the objects and master slides to the new project - exact same thing happened in the newly created project. I also tried using different playbar themes. Nothing is working. Help?

Are you working on project files stored locally on your hard drive?
Are you on a corporate network with roaming profiles or virtual My Documents folders?
Are you always using Force Republish All Slides when publishing?

After Publishing we have missing album art

Hello,
After publishing our iTunes U Public site last night, I came into the office this morning to find that about 90% of the album art on the Provider page is missing. The album art does appear on individual Collection pages.
I do all the work on a desktop but our video people upload videos to 9:00 pm. I had taken my laptop home and published it there at night. Would this have caused an issue?
I also now see that I no longer have access to the Public Site Manager. I am still listed as the Primary Administrator but do not have full access. There is a list of people who can do edits and my name is listed there but does not have a pencil icon.
How do I get my rights back as the Public Site Manager? How do I have the album art show up?
Regards,
DJ

I have found that scrolling through the album list (past albums without art) triggers the progress wheel next to the wifi symbol. You can scroll quickly through the whole collection and then wait! Artwork will appear gradually...
However, repeat visits to the Music App might initially show no artwork again, but it might spontaneously appear more quickly this time. The bad news is that the whole Music App is now sluggish as ****...

HTML Redirect is working in muse but not after publishing... HELP!

I am setting up a "Coupon code" for a website I work on. I have set up a basic HTML Redirect box. It works properly in Muse but after publish it does not work correctly anymore. I understand the "password/coupon code" is available to find in the page code, and that's OK, thats the way i designed it. Here is the link to the page Ticket Center the coupon code is GOLDEN (all caps). It should redirect to: GOLDEN PROMO CODE Please let me know what i am missing. If it is not possible to use this code with muse after its uploaded, any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!
Here is the promo code box code:
<div class="wrapper">
    <form class="form1" action="ticket-center.html">
        <div class="formtitle">
        </div>
        <div class="input nobottomborder">
            <div class="inputtext">
                Coupon Code:
            </div>
            <div class="inputcontent">
                <input type="password" id="password" /><br />
            </div>
        </div>
        <div class="buttons">
<input class="orangebutton" type="submit" value="Submit" onclick="if (document.getElementById('password').value == 'GOLDEN') location.href = 'promo-1sae452316ad.html'; else alert('Invalid Promo Code! Please try again. CASE MATTERS');" />
        </div>
    </form>
</div>

Presuming that I have 13 folders/directories that are
created by iWeb for each of the 13 'pages' in my
site, then I assume that to turn off the nav_bar, I
should paste 'the code' into each of the
[foldername].js files.
Is this correct?
I believe so, yes.
And to maintain this, I should be prepared to use
MassReplaceIt (+/-) to refresh this info after
Publishing to Folder any cosmetic and content
changes.
Yes
Before I do the 'paste', I would like verification
that:
1) it is in fact the [filename].js file that is my
correct choice/target.
Yes
2) when viewing the contents of the ...js file, it
seems like there would need to be some curly braces (
{ whatever ) stuff as well.
Hmm, I think it's ok just the way Cyclosaurus put it
document.getElementById('nav_layer').style.opacity = 0; // 0 = nav layer off, 1 = nav layer on.
But I could be wrong about that.
3) Does 'the Code' need to be inserted in any
particular place in the file?
Don't think so, no, but don't put it in the middle of something, if you know what I mean. The beginning or end would be best.
4) Today, I will work on moving the Content to the
Body instead of the NavBar area, but mo betta I could
just shut off the NavBar function entirely.
Well if you can do it without editing the js (move the content) then you won't have to keep re-editing after each publish.
5) Do you like Medium Roast or Dark roast - whole
bean or ground?
Hee hee... ALL OF THE ABOVE!!!

I'm using iweb 3.4 and trying to load audio files to my web page. Everything looks good in iweb but after publishing instead of having a control bar i have a "?". Does anyone know what to do?

Where are you hosting the site, how are you uploading the files and what's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand?
Adding audio files by dragging onto the web page forces the viewer to have Quicktime installed on their computer in order to be able to listen to them. Look at the audio player options on this page of Roddy's iWeb for Musicians site: Audio Players for your Music Website.
