Red Xs show up on images when viewing site in Windows

After adding some pages (from the standard templates) and content, the site (published to mac.com) displays on Windows XP and Vista with red Xs in the top-left corner of every image. The images do show, but that X is there on every one. Check it out at marrs-attacks.com. It also loads and/or renders very slowly (I can't tell since IE doesn't have a load progress indicator that I can see). Also notice the nearly invisible Made on Mac image at the bottom-center. Everything appears correctly and quickly on a Mac.
Other pages such as turnstyleband.com, also recently created and published by iWeb '09, don't show this problem (although one big difference is that the first site has background images and the second doesn't).
Any ideas, or is it just another iWeb bug that I need to report?

From the article I linked you to:
... if The image is displayed based on a script, an ActiveX control, a cookie, a Java program...
If you disable Java in Safari the pictures don't show up at all. iWeb is using Java to generate the photo albums. If the users allowed Java all would probably be golden. Security settings are all over the place on Windows machines. Some antivirus software will also disable what it thinks are security holes. Unfortunately, many websites use Java for their functionality.
This is why, on my main page of my site I avoid the nav bar. I created my own nav bar with links to avoid the Java problem. I let the nav bar show on other pages because I am less concerned with them. Some other programs other than iWeb can create photo pages in standard html which you link to instead of using the java-based page iWeb creates.
If you want to build a truly friendly site avoid java, and avoid effects on your photos which creates large png files and makes the site load slower. I have also found that using a page background and browser background slows down the site. Just use a browser background. You can also open the files on your iDisk and optimize the photos, using a photo editor like Adobe Photoshop Elements. You will lose little quality and drastically improve the load time.

How to stop the dock from showing all hidden images when hiding then showing applications

How to stop the dock from showing all hidden images when hiding then showing applications

It's not really something to snap a screen shot of. I believe it would need to be a video clip. For instance, when I am working on multiple images in Photoshop, I often need many images open at the same time, but I only have one image viewable and active. The hero image is active on screen while I hide the other images in the dock by hitting the yellow - button on the images. Then I "Hide" Photoshop to do something in the Finder. When I go back to Photoshop, every image that is hidden in the dock will pop open again in the active window, not just the image I was currently working on. I want these images to stay in the dock until I need them, no matter how many times I Hide the Show Photoshop.

No thumbnail images when viewing pictures folder via desktop & screensaver

When I go into system preferences and then Desktop & Screensaver I chose the pictures folder. It does not show any thumbnail images of any of the contents of my Pictures Folder, yet clicking on a blank area of space applies a desktop???? I have never seen this before anyone have any ideas?

There may be some minor issue or glitch in the system; and perhaps even
starting up in SafeBoot and using Disk Utility's repair disk permissions, then
quitting the utility, and restarting normally may help repair this situation.
Some file types, in some cases, may not appear in icon or thumbnail view;
and there are a few image editor applications whose custom icon thumb-
nail views actually appear as a generic icon w/o an image; but an original
import from a camera will have the correct thumbnail captured by Finder
and/or Preview (or iPhoto) by first-contact with the image from the camera;
but Photoshop or other third party shareware or freeware may not show one.
For a normal situation where a thumbnail image icon should be present:
Open up a finder window and do like this: from Finder=View=Show View Options
=Show Icon Preview. That will give you a thumbnail view of whatever document it is.
You can select to do this setting for all windows
Apparently your situation is different in that there may be a permissions or other
issue going on in the system; so try routine maintenance and also see if the images
are in the correct location for the system to see them. If the system is really messed
you may have to consider repairing it; try booting from the native disk utility in OS X
boot/installer disc, repair disk and repair disk permissions; then reboot using Startup
Disk in the boot disc's utilities menu (in installer menubar) and immediately press &
hold the Shift key on startup to engage SafeBoot; and re-repair disk permissions
from the System's hard drive located Disk Utility to re-correct these permissions, as
they will probably not be proper for the fully updated system running in the computer.
Then restart normally.
There may be file damage, so if that is discovered through additional troubleshooting,
you may have to consider a new system folder, as in "Archive & Install" then update.
Repair disk permissions between all update & install steps of system and other software.
If you have and use a utility interface tool such as OnyX (runs free, is donationware) from
Titanium Software, download from their site; and run all the checkbox items in Automation,
and then restart the computer - or set its preferences to do that also, automatically - this
may help general system health. It may not be able to fix something deeper in the system;
but a third party disk utility such as DiskWarrior or Drive Genius2 may help in other matters.
In some cases, depending on what images are involved and where they came from, be
they a chosen set of personal images you've directed the system to use as background
desktop images in Finder, or a set of Apple-supplied images, the results can be different.
I use a folder of camera created scenics as desktop backgrounds and use ToyViewer to
edit and rotate at a most basic level, since I try to make photos in the camera and not edit.
Sometimes, these will have generic non-image icons and not thumbnails; there is a way
to work around the issue should a whole folder of them go bad or change over w/o notice.
Hopefully someone who has fixed this problem will write a follow up; it is getting late in my
timezone and I am running on empty per this topic, among others... You may resort to an
Apple help or Apple Support documents search for a matching topic. That's a huge library.
Good luck & happy computing!

Problems with dark Artifacts on images when viewed on PC screens???

I have a very urgent problem concerning Adobe Photoshop CS3, my Apple Cinema 20 inch Display and my SpyderPro2 on my Mac Pro Intel Dual Core Xeon 2x 2.66GHz.
I have been using the Spyder for some years now, but recently I have been having big problems with the results. I only use Photoshop CS3 to enhance digital products images.
I have a major contract with a jewellery company in London, where I clean up digital photos. Images that I have lightened up to look great on my Cinema Display have been reported by my client to look pretty dark on their PC's in their offices.
Some of these images show lines and grubby patches??? To check this I opened files in Photoshop and moved the levels 'black' slider down quite some way, and did see evidence of what the client could see at their end? It seems that when I have used a faded eraser brush it leaves a light patch in between the shadows of the jewellery. This shouldn't be visible to the naked eye though?
I must point out that when I use the eyedropper tool on images, to read the amount of grey or colour in the white areas around the peices, I am shown values of 1,2 or 4 maximum in the CMYK values. 4 percent out of 100 is nothing and should not be visible to the naked eye?
How is it that my clients PC's can see dark shadows and where my eraser brush has rubbed out???
I have tried many re-calibrations and also tested all of my older calibrations dating back a few years. I have also tested the same faulty images on Intel iMac's, an eMac, and a few PC's. On the iMac's I can just about make out the artefacts that my client can see, but nothing that I would deem as unacceptable.
I am at a loss as to the fault, but It may be the Spyder2 Pro's inability to calibrate my Apple Cinema display properly? I may lose my contract which I cannot afford to do, and I simply have to find the cause ASAP.
I have my Mac's in my office apartment next to two bay windows. I have vertical blinds there. When calibrating I have always turned off all the lights and pulled the blinds right back so that only the light from the two large window doors is coming in.
For graphic design the calibrations seemed to be okay for quite some time, but recently it is getting harder to achieve good results with the Spyder? This could affect all of my workflow which is very serious. But I must stress that overall the Spyder results are not terrible. I can see good colours and dark levels and in general across all of my calibrated profiles, the jewellery looks acceptable on my Cinema Display?
I did say to my clients that they should calibrate their PC screen properly but their offices have many Screens and they all show the same artefacts (some much worse than others)? I know that PC Screens are darker than Mac's but a 4% grey should not be visible????
As these are a web company the images will be seen by PC users around the world and most of these will have no calibration on their screens. What can be done to prevent this and what is the cause of this? I can't possible please everyone, but as a creative professional I have to be 100% certain that my workflow is at its best.
I need urgent help to solve this or loose valuable business? I hope that you are able to help solve this mystery. Could this possibly be something with Photoshop?
I have just purchased the new Spyder3 Pro which I hope will give perfect results but I have to find out what the cause of this is. If some of the fault lies with the client, I can charge these for all the testing and calibrating I have done.
Kind regards,
Jason Conway
ideo-sync - inspired design.

Thanks for all your comments and so quickly.
To be clearer, I am not working in CMYK for image enhancing at all, but windows RGB in photoshop, which is darker than working CMYK or Monitor RGB. I just use the CMYK colour scale in the photoshop colour picker window to see what values are around the object.
its not 4 across all four but on average C4, M2, Y1, K0.
When saving in save for web the images look fine on my screen, pretty much the same as the photoshop tiff file.
Each image has adobe RGB 1998 embedded when saved as a tiff file.
The client looks on internet explorer 7 on their PC's and also within Photoshop.
Colour settings within photoshop are using MacUser magazine's recommended setting from 2006: RGB: Adobe RGB 1998, CMYK: Euroscale Coated V2, Grey: Generic Grey, SPOT: 20% dot gain. Engine: Apple CMM, Intent: Relative Colorimetric. Also Black point compensation and User Dither are checked.
Also the monitor calibration is set at 6500 at 2.2 gamma.
To be clearer about the dark shadowing and the artefacts. When using levels I click on a shadow point to remove all but a slight shadow. Then I sometimes need to use the faded eraser to clean up or lessen the shadow. The image looks fine on my screen, but in the levels window I drag the black pointer about a third of the was across the screen to simulate what the client is seeing on their screen. This is quite a long way to drag the slider. I can sometime see the edges of the image, or white holes where the eraser has been. The lines are areas around the object that have been rubbed out a bit.
I agree that colour values will show on a screen, but the effect of the shadow should be smooth and not clearly visible with an edge?

also p110741.tif
I have uploaded the layered tiff file and the web jpeg to my server, so you can hopefully see something odd?
If there is a problem with my cinema display at least its under warranty, and the new Spyder3 pro should help when it arrives in a few days time.
Hopefully I can pinpoint the exact cause to this and take steps to stop this ever happening again. I am very grateful for your advice and help.
Kind regards,
Jason.

Why does text show differently (vertical alignment) when viewed on a PC than on a Mac?

The text shows misaligned (different) when viewed on different platforms (Mac or PC)
The Menu section on this website ~> Menu
Is there a way around this or a fix it. I was trying to look at the code in Dreamweaver and I did see some weird (>Span<) tags, I'm wondering if it might have to do with it.
The goal is to align the right side (prices) perfectly. I even had to do the 'tracking' individually to every line. It does work, depending on what platform I'm working on, if I work and publish from a Mac, it would look fine no matter what browser I use, but when viewed on a PC the text gets misaligned. The same happens if I work and publish from a PC, it would show misaligned on a Mac.
Hope there is a reasonable explanation for this.
- Thank you,
Ricardo

The primary cause of the misalignment is the fact the text is using a "Web Safe" font. A "web safe" font is not a single font. Rather it's a list/stack of fonts for the site visitor's browser to try until it finds one that's available the visitor's computer. That means on one computer the text is in one font (i.e. Arial) and on another computer it's another (i.e. Helvetica) with the subsequent fallout caused by the varying character widths between the two fonts. The best way to reduce this variation between site viewers is to use a Web Font (either an Edge Web Font or a Self-Hosted Web Font).
The alignment still won't be entirely consistent across browsers (or even versions of browsers), because each browser has it's own text layout engine and the engines do sometime change, but the variation will be radically reduced.

Highly pixelated image when viewing at 100%

Dear Forum:
I'm using Aperture 3.0.1 on a MacBook Pro 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo; 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3. Using Mac OS 10.6.2.
I'm making a photobook, extra large size. I placed an image in a photo box that covers the entire page (in other words, the photo has no borders) When I look at it in 100% view. The image is startlingly pixellated as if it's a low res image (The image is not a super-cropped image of the original) Will the book print out that way or is it okay for the image to look low res when making the book?
Thanks,
Steve

Dear Thomas,
I don't see the yellow triangle on the image which is good. But the image is nevertheless low res when viewed at 100%. If I move the image in one or two directions, the image clears up and becomes sharp as it should be. But, when I come back to image after working on another page, and do 100%, the image is once again low res. I'm wondering if this is just a preview issue or if it will actually affect the PDF file that will eventually by generated for printing.
Thanks,
Steve

I have an applet which shows an image on the server and refreshes it with a defined time interval.
When I open the applet with appletviewer, the program works without any errors.
But, when I open applet in a web browser (IE , Firefox), applet always shows the first image. It doesn't update.>Java in browsers is notorious for image caching. One way around it is to read the byte[] of the image directly from the input stream of the image URL, then use [Toolkit.createImage(byte[])|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/awt/Toolkit.html#createImage(byte[])] to stamp out an Image instance.

I am not sure about suspend, resume, stop,etc methods of Thread. I wrote them in this way, because using them
as "myThread.suspend()" is depreciated. >I suspect it would be better to have the applet maintain a Runnable object as an attribute, rather than implement Runnable.

Capture window shows the same image with Viewer

Hi there,
I'm trying to capture a movie from HDCAM-SR via Sony SR-5500 deck.
Deck's settings look fine, It plays the tape very well, I can see it from it's original display screen.
I think somethings wrong with my FCP setting.
I use FCP 5.1. When I say CAPTURE, I see the same image in viewer and in capture windos. if the viewer is black, capture win. is black too. I tried to change my display settings, but it didn't work.
I'm capturing it via KONA 3 card and 10 Bit Uncompressed.
This happened before, but I don't remember how I get rid of that...
thanks in advance

scs...
Can you take another shot at explaining this? I'm confused.

Pdf doc showing lots of lines when viewed via tablet/ipad & mobile

I create a weekly newsletter for our local District Councillors. This is done in Word using tables, and then Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 to convert to a pdf. When viewed on our website, this is perfect. However, when viewed via a tablet or mobile, lots of lines have appeared in the document. This spoils the whole look of the newsletter. More of our Councillors are using tablets rather then desktop pcs now so this is becoming a real issue for me.
Can anyone advise if an upgrade to more recent version would solve this problem?
Thanks.

When viewed on ipads, its on the web browser - Safari, but some Councillors have Google Nexus, so via the Google browser. The lines appear on both types of tablets.
But the lines are also there when the pdf is opened as an attachment, so its something that's happening in the creation of the pdf....... stuck on this one... run out of ideas.

Error message when viewing site in IE on PC

I've designed a site for a client using Muse. The site works great in all the Mac browsers and Chrome and Firefox for PC. When viewing it using IE, I get an error message (attached) when going from the home button to a certain page. The rest of the site works fine and the page works with nothing missing once I hit the OK button.
Anyone have any idea what is causing the error and how to remedy the IE problem? Any help would be appreciated.
TIA

I had a quick look at your code and found;
The issue happens on page load and is not confined to the button.
When I copy| paste the page code into my browser I can load it without errors… this suggests a script error of some kind.
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/where-to-buy.css?459606632" id="pagesheet"/>


This comment is suspicious but I can't see that style sheet to test it… did you comment it out to test a font and forget to put it back?

No sound when viewing movie in Windows browser

Hi.
I posted a video on my website and it plays fine when viewed on any Mac browser but plays without sound when viewed with IE after booting Windows XP under Boot Camp. The following message appears under Windows when the video is selected:
"Additional software is required for QuickTime to play back this media. It may be available from the QuickTime Components page."
I couldn't see anything on the Components page that seemed suitable.
The video was taken with a DV-PAL camcorder, edited in iMovie HD and exported to QuickTime movie with Expert Settings using H.264 codec and MPEG 4 Low Delay AAC sound setting at 48 kHz (the only available rate option) and 160 kbps bit rate. As well as the original soundtrack (dialogue) the movie has an imported music soundtrack consisting of two files, one .mp4 format and one .m4a format. I assume it is these imported tracks that are causing the problem, since I have QT Pro on my Mac, but only the free QT on Windows. All the other movies I have posted only have a single soundtrack (either original camera soundtrack or imported music, not both), and all play fine on both Windows and Macs.
My question: what do I need to do to make my movie play without problem on any platform, without additional software being required by the viewer?
Thanks.

I solved the problem by re-exporting my movie with IMA 4:1 format sound. This doesn't compress as much as MPEG 4 Low Delay AAC but at least IE8 can handle multi-track sound with it. IE8 can handle MPEG 4 Low Delay AAC encoded SINGLE-TRACK sound fine, just not (apparently) multi-track. So if your movie only uses the original video soundtrack, or if it only uses a music track (with a slideshow, for example), it'll work fine. But if you have both, for example fading dialogue and music in and out, you might want to check that it plays as expected in the Windows IE world. If your movie plays without sound in IE, try another sound format. I didn't experiment with all the iMovie sound export options as I struck lucky first time with IMA 4:1.
I learned about and recommend the free program IE Tester (http://www.my-debugbar.com/wiki/IETester/HomePage) from another poster here. It allows you to test web pages with IE all the way back to version 5. If 80% of internet surfers use IE (as some claim), we Mac-users really need to test our sites using this browser. My problematic movie now works fine with all tested versions of IE.

Reduced images when viewing a forum with safari

Hello all,
I was trying to view an image that had been posted on a forum that I am subscribed to, using safari on my iPhone. I know that the image is 800x600 because I saw it full size with my office computer BUT when I try to view the same image on the same forum it only shows a tiny little image that fill a tenth of the screen even if I zoom in.
Is there something that prevents safari on iPhone to display the image in full size? Maybe a setting that needs to be turn on/off?
Thank you

Thanks but it did not open in a new window. It's directly inside the forum posts.
I would have noticed if it was a new window.
Funny thing is that I see the image in full size when the page first loads up then it shrinks to a pityful size which, BTW, is not a clickable thumbnail.

Trouble saving images when viewing directly

I've noticed recently that, when trying to save an image I am looking at after using "View Image," what tends to happen is that the download "starts," but no progress is made and the image won't be downloaded unless I were to close Firefox and restart it, at which point the image would then download and be saved to my computer.
Canceling the download does not work-that is, it can be canceled, but Firefox will still think it is downloading, as indicated by the prompt that appears if I attempt to close Firefox in this fashion.
I thought this was limited to Tumblr, but it seems to happen on other sites such as Pixiv and typically when I choose to view the image directly and then attempt to save it-saving an image loaded onto an existing page produces no problems, it seems. This does not affect all such images, however, but I am unsure what the criteria are for reproducing this.
Another issue related to this is that sometimes, if I restart Firefox to download any images I "queue" in this manner, they end up producing 162-byte image files that Windows Image Viewer naturally can't quite read.

I do not have any plugins or anything for saving images outside of Firefox's native "Save Image As" feature.
As for those articles:
* Download history size doesn't seem to matter
* The folders should be fine, no need to switch to a different folder
*Don't think I should try a reset just yet...
*Changing file type settings might work, but I think that's only for if I'm downloading an image from, say, a link versus the Save-As I tend to use.
*As mentioned above, no plugins are being used to my knowledge
*Haven't checked my anti-virus, but I doubt that's the issue
I think my problem seems to be highly unique.

IPhoto 8 - sloooow rendering of images when viewing in full page mode

When I try to view photos using the next and previous arrows in full screen mode, each new image takes several seconds to render (or sharpen, whichever is the correct usage). This is completely unacceptable and was not a problem in '06. What might be gong on here?
Also, I'd like to be able to click through a series of photos in magnified view without having to go to full screen, but can't seem to find those handy little arrows. Is that no longer an option?
Thanks for any help.
marion

Marion:
How much RAM do you have and how much free space on the boot drive.
In regards to the magnified view the arrow keys work as well as the two arrow button in the lower right hand corner. Is that the view you're referring to? The one similar to the edit view?
I see you're still at 10.4.3. You should update to 10.4.10 and Quicktime 7.2.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
