Rendering creates blank images

I teach music technology in a school lab. Just yesterday iMovie has given me some trouble. After rendering in Ken Burns the images go blank. I have checked the photos making sure they are jpegs, I have re-imported them into iPhoto, I have directly entered them into iMovie. No success, the images go blank after being entered onto the time-line. Today two more student workstations started having this problem ( iMovie is not networked and operates from within each computer, eMac, G4.
Help urgently needed. Thanks.

Disk Utility: Creating a new blank image receiving "file too large" error.

Hello All!
I'm trying to create a 10GB non-encrypted, non-compressed RW blank image via the disk utility. The DU runs for a few minutes then barfs out "file too large" error. I have over 30GB free on my HDD. I tried with a smaller size of 6GB to no avail. Also tried unsuccessfully to create from a file (about 4 GB). My ultimate goal is to create a case-insensitive image to run an extremely important program needed for high priority work productivity (i.e. WoW). Thanks in advance for any advice! You will be my new best friend if you help me resolve this. =D

Hi Hollie, and welcome to the forums!
Have you created images before successfully?
Is this to/on your boot drive, or an external drive?
Have you done any Disk/OS maintenance lately?
We might see if there are some big temp files left or such...
How much free space is on the HD, where has all the space gone?
OmniDiskSweeper is now free, and likely the best/easiest...

Creating blank tiff image

Hi,
I want to create a new blank tiff image and attach the existing tiff images to this blank image side by side or columnwise.
How can i do this using java/JAI ?

Create the image on the hard disk, compress it or use a tool such as this one to split it into two, and move the compressed or segmented file to the external drive.

LR4 export creates random blank images

Hi I'm experiencing a strange situation where I export a selection of photos, perhaps 150 of them, and will see random blank images with valid photo metadata but a blank (white) image. In this case 3 of 150 photos are "real" but export as blank. I can export the exact same selection of images using a slightly different export setting and the images are present (a different watermark PNG). What is wrong with LR 4 export ?

Hi
Please check the following :
--Export to .PDF and check if you are getting a correct page format. If you are getting then check word page header and page footer settings.
--Also check the default printer and page setup.
--Use no printer option in CR page setup and try to export to word. Also check RTF format.
--Also try to check this is happening only in your system and any other system.
Thanks,
Sastry

Can't create disk image of external disk

I just switched from a PowerBook G4 running OS 10.4, to a MacBook Pro running 10.5. I'm trying to create a disk image of the old machine's hard disk, as a backup. Before doing this, I ran Disk Utility to make sure none of my disks were in need of repair.
I started up the old machine in Target Disk mode and connected it to the new one. In Disk Utility, I selected the disk, and clicked Create Disk Image. I told it to save the disk image as uncompressed and writable, on a disk that has plenty of space. So it chugs along for about an hour, creating an 80GB image.
Then once the image is done, I try to mount it and get an error, saying that the disk image has no mountable file systems. I've done this four times already, each time with the same result. In addition, if I try to restart after creating the image, the system hangs.
Any ideas why this might be happening? Are there any known bugs with Disk Utility in Leopard? Interestingly, I tried to do the same thing with Carbon Copy Cloner, and ran into a different error (it thought that it couldn't mount the newly-created image).

Yesterday I bought a Maxtor Basic external harddrive for my mac.
Followed the instructions, using Disk Utility, formatted the hd, then I tried to create a 60 gb blank encrypted disk image but failed twice; after clicking 'Create', Disk Utility does not prompt to create a password.
First time Disk Utility just hangs; there's no respond for 30mins, so i force quit it and reformatted the drive, again.
Then I tried to create a 10mb encrypted disk image and the box appears to enter a password, so I presume it was working fine.
Again, I tired to create the 60gb blank image. This time, i left it overnight, thinking maybe it just takes a longer time. No prompt for passwords, and in the morning, the msg I got was 'No drive found' or something like that, because the drive has ejected itself. (???)
Anyone has any idea why? I could create the image on my mac and throw it in the external drive, but my mac onlyhas 15 gb of space.
Let me know if this sounds like a problem with the Maxtor so I could exchange it ASAP.

FF4 print to PDF (Acro Pro) renders text as image (FF3 did not)

When I create a PDF with Acro Pro using FF4 the text is rendered as an image. FF3 did not do this (other browsers render text as text as well). Win 7 Pro 64-bit, FF 4.0

Oh man, you really made my day!!
This nasty error has been torturing me for several weeks now.
I installed and reinstalled and again all Adobe software, with no effect, I checked and rechecked all settings with other pc's since they all made perfect PDF's.
But not this one!!
Unchecking the "hardware acceleration box" did the trick.
Who would have thought of that one!!
Just look at my happy face now.
Mozilla should really fix this weird bug.

IDVD won't create thumbnail images in slide shows

In a slide show, the window that used to show the photos in a slide show no longer renders thumbnails in the list or grid views. The status at the top of the window just sits there and spins forever, with the text "Creating thumbnail images...." Anyone know of a workaround?

Neither of these "fixes" has changed anything. I also cleared my cache, ran a diagnostic check, and a virus/trojan scan! Either way, firefox 4 is just not working up to my needs! Should, or can I go back to 3.6?

Rendering of embedded images

We are creating reports out of MS SQL. They contain besides tables and charts images that are showing maps. These images are created in MapInfo, saved to jpg and stored as BLOB in the database. On the maps are the results of cellular drive tests along routes. For each network operator we have one map. Before placing them into the DB they are all looking same (no tint). <img src="http://portal.lws-cna.com/temp/sample1.jpg" alt=" " title="sample1 http://portal.lws-cna.com/temp/sample1.jpg" width="400" height="257" /> <a href="http://portal.lws-cna.com/temp/sample1.jpg">http://portal.lws-cna.com/temp/sample1.jpg</a><img src="http://portal.lws-cna.com/temp/sample3.jpg" alt=" " title="sample 3 http://portal.lws-cna.com/temp/sample3.jpg" width="400" height="257" /> <a href="http://portal.lws-cna.com/temp/sample3.jpg">http://portal.lws-cna.com/temp/sample3.jpg</a>As you can see the maps are showing the same area but different results. When I include them into the report they are tinted. I could reproduce this in an image processing tool by decreasing the color depth using different methods.I wanted to understand how the rendering of embedded images works. Are there settings/measures to influence the rendering behavior?Thanks, Joerg

Please re-post if this is still an issue and search forums first.

Import Images into slide show - Creating Thumbnail images -Hang

I am using iDVD 7. I imported my images into a slideshow. The pictures were not in iPhoto but just a folder that I created and edited in Photoshop. Once I import the images, the window shows all the file names as expected but all the Image Thumbnails are blank and the top of the window there is a message "+Creating thumbnail images... (32 remaining)+" with a spinning wheel next to the message. This message stays there forever. The 32 is the number of images in the slideshow. I can do most things in iDVD while this is going on, but I cannot add the audio I want.
What is causing this and can I get it to stop?

To add to this I decided to remove the slideshow and now import the pictures from iPhoto. I can only get ride of the message by closing iDVD down. When I relaunch iDVD the message is gone. When I now import the pictures from iPhoto the same thing happens where it hangs on creating thumbnail images.

Creating Disk Images for viewing on a PC

I created a data dvd of information for work on my iMac by dragging the folders that I needed onto the DVD. I then burned it in my super drive. I put the completed DVD into a pc and navigated through the files.
I created an image file (dmg and cdr) of the DVD on my iMac for future use in case someone else wanted a copy of the information.
When I burn the dmg or cdr image to a DVD, I can navigate through it with my iMac without any problems but when I put DVD into a PC, the PC says that it is a blank disk.
I guess my question is, how do I create an image so that I can burn it and use it on either a mac or a pc?

I created the image from a disk. I put the DVD I wanted to image in the super drive, opened Disk Utility, selected the DVD from the left side of the Disk Utility window. I then went to the menu: File - New - Disk Image From <Name of the DVD>. I tried to use different image formats (Read/Write, DVD/CD Master).
When I went to copy the dmg file, I selected it and then Burned it. It is readable in my iMac but not on a PC.

Mistake creating an Image Map

Hello, I have a problem with my Image Map. Here are my steps:
1.Create areas for the Image Map
2.Create the Image Map with areas
3.upload the image
4.create the OTH file
5.Enable rendering information option
6.Create KM navigation iView and its layout set mode as default
All references for directories and for my pic are OK but it doesn´t show any Image Map. I need help please!
Thank you

Hi,
 You can follow this example:
In KM, image maps are used for a graphical depiction of folder contents. These objects are displayed using graphics instead of in their normal text form.
Step 1 Determine the image you want to use for navigating. This can be any JPG or GIF file. In this example I will reference the file world.gif.
Step 2 Configuring an image map. Take your image file world.gif and place it in the system. For our example place the file in the path: ../knowledgemanagement/etc/public/graphics. The subdirectory graphics was created within the public folder.
Step 3 In the documents folder, create the following folders:
World
 Within the World folder, create the subfolders:
 North America
 South America
 Europe
 Asia
Note: you can create as many folders as you like. This structure will serve as the navigation structure for world.gif image map.
Step 4 Determine the navigation coordinates for the image world.gif. Any tool can be used, for this example the tool GeoHTML was used. It is a freeware tool that can be downloaded from http://www.fegi.ru/geohtml.
The following coordinates were determined for the folders:
 North America: 253, 255, 303, 285
 South America: 424, 171, 474,201
 Europe: 368, 43, 418, 73
 Asia: 276, 37, 326, 67
Step 5 Create new link-sensitive Areas for the image map. Menu path: Configuration -> Content Management -> User Interface -> Image Maps -> Areas
Please note, an area would need to be defined for each area on the image map that would be link-sensitive areas.
Step 6 Defining an Image Map. In this step the name of the image map will be defined as well as specifying the path of the image, the tooltip, and lastly assigning the areas.
Step 7 Configure an Object Type Handling (OTH) file for the image map. OTH files are located in the /oth subdirectory within the /etc repository. Copy an existing OTH file in this subdirectory and copy it to world.oth. In This OTH file, define the navigation path, collection renderer, layout controller, action and image map. The OTH file should look as follows:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ObjectTypeHandler Name="Image Map world"
Class="com.sapportals.wcm.service.objecttypehandler.GenericObjectTypeHandler">
<SelectionCriteria>
<Paths>
 <Path>/documents/World</Path>
</Paths>
</SelectionCriteria>
<Properties>
<Property Key="rndCollectionRenderer" Value="ImageMapRenderer"/>
<Property Key="LayoutController" Value="DefaultLayoutController"/>
<Property Key="rndShowActions" Value="false"/>
<Property Key="rndMap" Value="MapOfWorld"/>
</Properties>
<Actions/>
</ObjectTypeHandler>
Step 8 Display the image map. For the navigation iView that is being used, ensure that the iView property Layout Set Mode is set to default.
Step 9 Reload the object type handler in order for the system to read the new oth file world.oth. This can be done by within the Rendering Information link in any navigation iView for a user that is specified in the Debugging Settings (this is done in the user interface configuration).
Another option to reloading the object type handler would be restarting the J2EE engine.
Step 10 In the navigation iView for this mage map, navigate to the image map. In this example, the menu path would be documents/World
Patricio.
ps: If you want I can send you complete example.

IDVD 5 will not create an image,- why??? help please, i'm gettin' crazy!!!

hi everybody,
since 3 days i'm trying to create an image data from an idvd 5.0.1 project. i've choose "save as image" and everything is working fine: all menu's, all imageshows, all video's and audio-files are rendered as well. when it comes at the end to the point "burn" there comes the colored ball and NOTHING happens any more!!! it is a very complex project with 2 videofiles included (one of them is sended directly from imovie with (send item to idvd, the other one is saved as an qt-dv-file from imove and imported to idvd) and 4 image slideshows from iphoto.
doe's anyone of you have an answer to that problem??? i'm really getting crazy because i'm trying it since friday morning :-(((
thankful for all answers and greetungs from germany,
marcus.

Marcus,
I had the exact same problem a couple of weeks ago, when trying to create a disc image. Everything rendered, but when it reached the "burn" stage, it just stopped and I had to force quit in order to get out of iDVD. The problem was in how I had "named" my disc image. I had included a slash (/) in its name. I renamed it, taking out the slash and was then able to successfully create a disc image.

Is it possible to create an image from part of a png image???

i have an image and i want to create 4 indivdual image from it in which they could be combined to reform the image that i have

Its actually quite easy, first you create a new blank image the size of the section you need, then you draw the larger image onto the new image so that the section you want starts at the top left corner of the new image. I use the code below, which works fine.
Image image = Image.createImage("/myimage.png");
int width = [whatever the width of the new image is];
int height = [whatever the height of the new image is];
int x = [x position of where your image section starts];
int y = [y position of where your image section starts];
//Creates a new Blank Image where we will draw our
//section on to
Image imageSection = Image.createImage(width, height);
Graphics g = imageSection.getGraphics();
//set the clip
g.setClip(0,0, width, height);
//Draws our larger image onto our new image
g.drawImage(image, -x, -y, g.TOP|g.LEFT);

Error creating an image of Drive C:, rc =2

Hello, as mentioned in the subject line above, I get the following error when trying to capture an image of my reference computer:
Error creating an image of Drive C:, rc =2
ZTI Error - Non Zero return code by ZTIBackup, rc=2
ZTI ERROR - Non-zero return code by LiteTouch, rc = -2147467259
I've looked at other threads and tried suggestions such as adding the "Set Image Folder" / "Set Image Name" into the Task Sequence, but it solved nothing.
I am running Windows 7 Professional x64 and capturing from a server running MDT 2010.
Would there be anything else that would cause this?

I found out there was actually a second log! The one I posted previously was an old one...very strange. Here is the CURRENT ZTIBackup.log:
