Resize photos for online use
I have been trying all afternoon to resize photos for online use and can not follow directions given. I know it must be simple but I am stumped. I would like to speak to a real person and I'm sure my problem will be solved in less than five minutes. PLEASE do not tell me to follow guidelines; I have tried that.

Hi Kay,
As an example, let's say we're trying to prepare this 1000x664 pixel, 1MB image for online posting.
If the website you're posting to is giving you a maximum dimension, for example that the image has to be 600 pixels across or less, then follow these 4 steps:
1. Go to File -> Save for Web
2. In the Save for Web panel, look for the Image Size boxes.
3. Enter the desired dimension. For example, if the website you're trying to upload to requires that images be 600 pixels across, enter 600 in the Width box. The height should recalculate automatically.
4. Hit the Save button. You will now have an image saved to the required pixel dimensions!
If the requirement is for a maximum file size, rather than specific file dimensions, you would follow a different procedure. If we were trying to resize the same 1000x664 pixel, 1MB image to a size of 100KB or less, we would follow these steps:
1. Go to File -> Save for Web
2. In the upper right hand corner of the Save for Web panel, make sure the format is set to JPEG. Our original image was a PNG, which tends to have a larger file size. JPEG images tend to have a smaller file size.
3. In the Save for Web panel, look for the projected size of the file as saved with the current settings. This is below the lower left hand corner of the image. In this case, it is 170KB, which is higher than our desired maximum size of 100KB.
3. The easiest way to control the file size at a given pixel dimension is by reducing the image quality. The controls for image quality are in the upper right hand corner of the Save for Web panel. The default setting for JPEG exports is 60%.
4. You will need to determine how far you want to reduce the image quality in your particular case. In this example, we can reduce the quality from 60% to 40% without affecting the visible image quality too much. Setting the quality to 40% reduces the image size to 99KB, which is below our maximum of 100KB.
5. When you are satisfied with the quality settings, press Save to save your image.
Hope this helps!

PSE 8 on MAC 10.6.2 Resizing photos for web use
Please can anyone assist me. I cannot alter the sampling options when resizing my photos to create smaller files for uploading to web pages.
so at present Constrain proportions is ticked and I am unable to change it.
W,H and R are locked
Am unable to choose from list beginning:
Bicubic (best for smooth gradients) How do I unlock all these to enable me to change specific items.
thanks for any advice.
ScattyWomanThat is very strange as I had tried turning that on before and nothing had happened.
Now it has. Maybe when I closed my machine down it somehow triggered it back if there was a glitch.
thank you Barbara, you have made me happy again.
I am not sure I need to strip the exif if I am putting them up in my Picasa album but I will try one to see what , if any effect it has on the picture in the gallery.
You have helped me in the past under a different name BUt I couldn't seem to find my login details so I started again. :-) -
My Word files are corrupted. When I open 'Get Info' then 'More Info' I find 'Photos for Personal Use or Home Display' and 'Authors' : Technology. - Nothing to do with the file I'd just written. My most recent files can't be saved or opened.
Is this Malware or some other kind of attack? I grabbed photos yesterday from what seem to be freely available pictures online. I discovered Firevault and Firewall were both turned off. (I hadn't checked before.) Any suggestions?Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start
with Option #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: 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. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Why does 'User not registered for online use' show up when I try to import a cd into itunes? None of the cd info shows up either.
Well, the format I upload from the camera is "video clip" or "video for Windows"...sometimes I've converted them to avi format, too. But as I said, it never even lets me get that far...I never get to even select a clip. As soon as I tell the program to "import/clip" it freezes up before I can even go to the folder that the clips are in. It has only begun to do this recently, and I'd never had any problems like this before. Last night I tried it again, and I clicked "open composition", and it froze when I did that too.
I'm not sure how much more specific I can be about the details of the clips, since I'm positive it has nothing to do with the clips themselves...I'm running Windows XP, though...Home Edition Service Pack 2, Pentium 4 CPU 2.80GHz, with 504 MB of RAM. I have had the automatic updates turned on since I did my last reformat a couple of weeks ago. Could it have something to do with some kind of an update it may have done? -
I'm getting this error message: "User not registered for online use" when i'm trying to download music/ track names from a CD into ITunes on my Windows 8 PC. I'm registered and my itunes account/ appleID are all correct and working.
The ""not recognized for on-line use". error is associated with the Gracenote service that iTunes uses to look up and retrieve metadata for CDs. Some users have reported that this error occurs when trying to import from CD, subsequent to upgrading to version 12. A number of slightly different solutions have been reported (though all of a similar nature).
Try walking through the following steps - before starting you may have to enable hidden files and folders to be viewed - in Windows 7 / Windows Explorer select Organize > Folder and search options, then on the View tab make sure that Show hidden files, folders and drives is selected. Without this you won't see the AppData folder in C:\Users\username\
Exit iTunes
In Windows Explorer, go to the folder C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes
Delete the following files:
CD Info.cidb
com.apple.iTunes.Gracenote.plist
Restart iTunes
Insert a CD and see if details are now correctly retrieved from Gracenote
If this doesn't work:
In iTunes, select Edit > Preferences and make a note (or take a screenshot) of your preferences settings in all relevant tabs
Exit iTunes
In Windows Explorer, go to the folder C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes
Delete the following file:iTunesPrefs.xml
Restart iTunes
Insert a CD and see if details are now correctly retrieved from Gracenote
If this second procedure does work, you'll need to restore other iTunes preferences settings to those that you noted in step 1.
If this one didn't work:
Exit iTunes
Check the following folders:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes
C:\Users\username\AppData\LocalLow\Apple Computer\iTunes
Delete any copies of the following files:
CD Info.cidb
com.apple.iTunes.Gracenote.plist
iTunesPrefs.xml
Restart iTunes
Insert a CD and see if details are now correctly retrieved from Gracenote
Again, if this procedure does work, you'll need to restore other iTunes preferences settings to those that you noted in step 1 of the second procedure. If you're still not able to retrieve CD info:
Exit iTunes
In Windows, select Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features. Find the entry for iTunes, right-click and select Repair.
When this process has finished, restart iTunes
Insert a CD and see if details are now correctly retrieved from Gracenote
If none of these have worked (and almost everything I've seen suggests you should be OK by this point), you may have an issue with the installation and configuration of iTunes itself. If you have got this far, see turingtest2's notes on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for advice on how to remove and replace of all components of iTunes. -

Importing CDs into iTunes - User Not Registered For Online Use
I am on Windows 8.1 Pro using iTunes 12.0.1.26 and am trying import CDs into my iTunes library. When I insert a music CD in the album information and track names don't come in automatically. When I try to manually get the information, I get an "User not registered for online use" message.
Request if I can be provided with some assistance on this. Importing CDs was no problem until I updated to iTunes 12.0.1.26 yesterday morning.
Thanks.Same issue - windows 7. Worked fine yesterday - updated to iTunes 12 and now it is broken and I get the "user not registered for online use" ERROR. Seems like the latest "upgrade" broke GraceNote access.

Itunes 12 track names not found and user not registered for online use
I recently downloaded itunes 12, and now when I try to import a CD the track names or CD information is not found.... So when I click on options to Get Track Names....it tells me user is not registered for online use... I am running windows 7.
I have tried un-installing and re-installing - didn't work.
I have tried removing a file and then have it repaired... didn't work.
Any other ideas on how to solve this problem?You could try deleting the entire %appdata%/Apple Computer folder or look for parallel files/folders in the C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local or C:\Users\<User>\AppData\LocalLow folders in case a corrupt file is persisting there.
Or it might not be the preference files after all...
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

I can't download track names in iTunes for Mac and get a "User not registered for online use" error
I have a Macbook Pro 13, OS X 10.9.5, and iTunes 12. When I rip a CD it says it can’t find the track names online. When I tell it manually to fetch them it says "User not registered for online use."
On my other Macbook it works fine...You need to delete two preferences files in your user library. The full instructions can be compiled from various posts in this topic: user not registered for online use I use an older Mac with easy access to the user library before Apple did a mother-knows-best move and hid it in recent OS versions.

How to resize photos for web pages
Can photos be resized within iPhoto to be used on a web site? If not what is the best program to do this to keep good quality photos but have a fast reloading time.
I need to edit photos for print and then create a second version for the web.
You can resize photos as you export from iPhoto - use a custom size and set what you need and upload the exported photos
This is how you do that - you can not "resize" within iPhoto - you resize (and make another copy) when you export.
As to your saving photos form PS into the iPhoto library and wondering why it does not work - it is becaus you must NEVER make any changes of any sor tto the structure or content of the iPhoto library using any program other than iPhoto - saving a photo into the iPhoto libray is not supported and will not work - you set PS as the external editor and when you finish editing you save and iPhoto handles the new image

iOS 7: How to reduce screen motion
You can reduce screen motion in iOS 7. iOS 7 uses a parallax effect to create the perception of depth on your Home screen and elsewhere.
To reduce the effect, you can turn on Reduce Motion in Settings > General > Accessibility. When you turn on Reduce Motion, Home screen transitions will fade instead of zoom.
When the parallax effect is on, you may notice the following:
Wallpaper, icons, and alerts shift slightly as you move your phone.
When you set a wallpaper in Settings > Wallpapers & Brightness, the photo or image will be slightly zoomed and can't be scaled to fit the screen.
If you zoom in, you will need to rescale your wallpaper to fit to the screen. You can't rescale certain photo formats, including landscape or square images.
To learn more about iOS 7, refer to the user manual.

Hi All,
I use PSE3 for Mac and have been putting together a lot of slide shows and then burning them to DVD in iDVD. My problem is that all the portrait photos leave a black margin on either side of the photo when viewing the DVD on the television. I read that to eliminate that you are to use an imaging software and resize to 640 x 480. However, that isn't possible--when I do that the picture is all squished. Is there any way to work around getting that black margin on portrait photos for slide shows? The problem is eliminated when using landscape photos. That also brings up the problem with wide-screen viewing now that it looks like the industry is leading us by the nose into that format whether we like it or not! Does anyone have a solution or a way to work around this?
Thanks!
DebbieYou could try making a blank canvas of the correct dimensions, then copy your photo onto it. Now you can crop, resize, reposition, add text, graphics, or color blocks to fill the blank space etc.
This method would give you more control over what is seen in the final slide show. -
Hello,
Symbian Anna allows me to choose the size of pics I want to send via MMS.
Unfortunately, when I chose mail, I get the full picture attached to it.
Is there a way or an app that could do it automatically ? (I know I can edit and resize but it takes too much time).
If not, it would be very good to think about it in future development.
Thank you in advance for any useful answerIf you don't check the option to allow users to download files, then only 800x600 sized photos are uploaded to .Mac. If you are allowing downloads, the photos are limited to roughly 6MP (I can't narrow down the exact size) when uploaded. If neither option works for you, you might have to export them. I don't know what size iWeb uses.
If your photos are 8-10MB each I'm assuming they're RAW format. RAW always gets converted to JPG so even before being shrunk to within 6MP, they'll be 1-3MB JPG's. Hope this helps. -
Resizing photos for drop zones
When I drop a photo into a drop zone in iDVD '08 it stays huge and only a small part of the photo can be seen. I have resized to 768x576 as the HELP suggested but it made no difference. No matter how small I made the photo, it got blown up to a large size. I know you can move the photo a little using the command button and the mouse, but unfortunately that doesn't help much when the image is so big.
Any ideas? I'm just about ready to pull the last couple of hairs out of my head! This has never been a problem in iDVD '06
Many thanksChanging the dpi won't help - iDVD and iMovie don't care about it. The theme displays the entire image from top to bottom (more or less), but since the window is portrait mode on a landscape image, you loose about 1/4 of the image on each side. There doesn't seem to be much you can do with it (other than not use it).
What I would do is create a 640 x480 image with a 120 pixel wide black band on either side and insert a 400 pixel wide by 480 pixel high image in the middle between the black bands. The theme should show you just about all of the image you have inserted when you place the 640x480 image in the drop zone window. I wish there were an easier way, but I've had to use such trial and error methods since I started working with iDVD back in iDVD 2 days.
