Select a Photo for Background, Looks Great, after Applying, Blurry

I created my own photo for a backdrop, it looks very sharp, is 1024x768, looks great in Photoshop, in Photos on the iPad, is the correct aspect ratio & everything, and then after applying to the background, it is slightly blurry.
At first i thought it was a scaling issue, but I verified it was 1024x768. Actually, what is stranger, I'm actually modifying one of the default backdrops that come with the thing, adding a logo, and the rest of the photo looks great, except the logo is blurry. But again - the photo & logo both look very sharp in the iPad's Photos app when I preview it prior to applying it.
Format is PNG.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I noticed this too when I took a much higher resolution graphic and re-sized it as a 1024x768 file. The iPad pixelated it and washed it out somewhat when I used it as the background. But when I went back and just tried it at its much higher original resolution/size, it was inserted perfectly and looks great as the background. Not sure why though.

My iphoto library won't show when trying to select a photo for other programs?

I am having a problem when I try to select a photo or itunes song in Imovie or other programs. I get a window with grey lettering that says: "Open Itunes to populate this list" or "Open iphoto to see photos from your iPhoto library in this list. I have tried relaunching programs and nothing appears. Seemed to start happening a while back after one of my system upgrades.

What version of iPhoto?
What version of the OS?
Sounds like an issue with the iLife integration, rather than the apps.

Control key not working when selecting multiple photos for email

Okay, I can't seem to send more than one photo through email no matter how I try to "select them." I am able to select the photos from the photo library. I see the little scrolling screen at the top of the page and then use the control key to select the photos which appear in the larger screen beneath. The problem is, is that I can't send all of the pictures through email, it thinks I am only trying to send one. When I look at the big screen with the pictures I have selected it looks like only one is highlighted and no matter what I try (the control key, shift key) it won't select them, it pops up with an picture editing function. Is my iphoto screwed up? Help!

Okay, I tried both. I clicked <done> at the bottom of the screen and the scroll bar at the top disappeared and then I just see one large photo. The only thing that happens when I double click on the large photo is that it comes back to the scroll bar at the top again, or vice versa. Does that make sense? I'm seriously wondering if my software is screwed up. My husband finally was able to send multiple pictures via email by creating a slideshow and selecting the pictures that way. (iphoto help says you are not able to select pictures to send through email through a slide show....go figure.) I still need to get out of this mode and don't know what to do! Any other suggestions?

Why is the item count in Photos for Mac significantly higher after upgrading from iPhoto?

Since upgrading to Photos for Mac from iPhoto, I've noticed the number of photos and videos in my library is higher than what I had before. Granted I imported some photos into the new app since then but taking that into account there's still a big discrepancy.
In iPhoto 9.6.1, the item count is 13,394 and I have since imported 95 new items into Photos for Mac. The total then should be 13,489 but Photos for Mac lists the item count at 13,626. That's a difference of 137 items.
Even taking into consideration that Photos for Mac might be including the 32 photos and videos that were in iPhoto's Trash (now Recently Deleted) folder, it still wouldn't account for 105 mystery items.
Does anyone have any insight into this difference in the number of items?

Authorizations for the users lost after applying SP15

Hi,
Is it possible that after applying any support package, authorizations of the users gets lost?
Because when we imported SP15, authorizations of the users are affected...
If yes, what are the precautions to be taken before importing any support package to avoid this....
The problem is that as a user of the system who does not have full access,
when they try to run a report either through the Analyzer or through the
web all they get is "No Authorisation". Prior to SP15 being applied they
did have access to the system.
Now how to restore the authorizations....
Thanking you,
Tarun Brijwani

Tarun,
This is a normal occurence with SAP support packs and I suggest you to open up an SAP note with SAP support and see if they respond to it. I exactly don't remember the note number but I think there is a comprehensive note that describes in detail about what you are getting in SP and what might be affected. Try installing Service pack stacks and I think SAP releases these once in a quarter and these are more error proof. ( from my experience that's what I gathered). Anyways, hope this helps.
Thanks,
Bobby

Select key photo for iOS albums synced with iPhoto on Mac

In iOS 7, if a user was syncing photos from iPhoto on a Mac to an iOS device, it was possible to choose what key photo would be displayed for each synced album in the Photos app on the iOS device. In iOS 8, this seems to have been removed, and when syncing, a random photo is now selected for each album instead, which doesn't seem possible to change.
Has anyone been able to find a solution/workaround to this?
I'm guessing/hoping control will be restored to the user when the new Photos app is released for Mac OS X Yosemite, but any feedback will be useful.
Thank you.

Same issue. Ever since upgrading to iPhoto on my retina MBP to 9.4.2. Problem seen with BOTH my iPhone 5 on iOS 6.0.1 AND iPhone 4S on 5.1.1, so not an iOS issue. For me, it impacts both albums and events. In fact, sometimes you can't even see the event under iTunes->device->photo tab, until you exit iPhoto & iTunes and restart both with phone plugged in. There is a workaround for the album's mis-order: by manually sorting photos through dragging a photo to a new location within the album and then placing it back. However, this doesn't work for mis-ordered photos under events. Right now, I just have to live with it.... I have even tried removing all photos, deleting iPod photo cache, and starting anew. Even 1 event with 30 photos have the same problem.....
Really annoying as I like to see my event photos sorted by date.
Somehow, such syncing problems always seem to occur EVERYTIME there's an iPhoto upgrade. Are apple's departments so siloed? Do they not work with one another to test a software before releasing it?
Apple, please investigate and fix the issue ASAP!

Lync for Mac 2011 crashing after applying v14.0.10 update

Hi,
Is there a hotfix for 14.0.10? I've seen a few threads about fixing the crashing issue for 14.0.7 but not 10.
Lync has crashed almost every hour. The MacBook is connected to a thunderbolt display. Another person is running 14.0.9 with no issues.
I've uninstalled version 14.0.10 and reinstalled 14.0.7, however 7 is completely missing the audio settings so we're unable to use it.
Can anyone please assist here?
Error below:

Hi AlyceChiodo,
With the error, you could refer to Terry Adams’ reply from
here .
“This crash seems to indicate an issue with delegates. If you have delegates, a workaround may be to move the delegate from the “Other” group to some other group.”
Also if possible, you could use 14.0.9 until
the next release comes out.

Shared albums not shown in Photos for Mac

I upgraded my iPhoto library to Photos yesterday and the main photo content migrated fine. I have two OS X devices - a MacBook Pro and a Mac Mini.
On my MacBook Pro, if I enable the sidebar in Photos, I see:
Photos
Shared
Activity
<Other shared albums - both my own and from another iCloud user>
Albums<Various Albums>
On my Mac Mini, I only see:
Photos
Albums<Various Albums>
So Photos on the Mac Mini is not picking up on existing shared albums. If I go to View | Shared it prompts me to "Start Sharing" (as if I haven't done this before). If I click Start Sharing and then create a test album the sharing dialog just vanishes after I select and email address to share with.
Anybody else seeing this? Any ideas?

Ok. I followed another suggestion and tried restarting the computer. It seemed to bring up the libraries. At first, I saw no pictures from the shared photos as they reported zero photos when they came up. However, leaving it open for a while seemed to bring back more and more of the libraries, and that was only after restarting the computer a 2nd time. I did get almost all my shared photos back, but each time it seems to stop and not bring all the photos back. I'll try restarting another time as it seems to be the big thing here.
The syncing activity in Yosemite seems to have some internal limit, where it stops attempting to grab photos from the stream and/or share, and then Photos only tries looking again after a computer restart, not a restart of the application.

Why can't I scale my photos for wallpaper?

When I select a photo for wallpaper I can't scale it.

I'd imagine you're trying to zoom out on a photo. I think there's a problem with scaling if the dimensions of the photo are not fit to wallpaper size.
The workaround is in the photo app itself, select the photo you wish to use. Resize it to what you want the wallpaper to look like. Take a screenshot (press the home button and sleep button at the same time).
Set the screenshot as wallpaper. That should fit nicely.

Organizing some photos for use on iPad

I have thousands of pictures in iPhoto. I have an iPad that I would like to display 200 - 300 of my favorite photos on. How can I select these photos for syncing in iTunes without moving the photos from their current event? I started to create an event called iPad Photos but quickly realized that when I flag a photo and add it to the iPad Photos event, it is removed from the original event.
Also this may be slightly off-topic but when large (above 1.5MB) photos from iPhoto are synced to an iPhone or iPad do they reside on the device at full resolution? I don't need full resolution on a smaller screen such as the iPad or iPhone and don't want to waste memory space. Do I need to take all the full resolution photos and resize before letting iTunes sync with that folder/event?

Create an iPhoto album with the photos you want to sync to your iPad. Connect the iPad to your Mac and launch iTunes. Click on the iPad icon and go to the Photos tab. Select iPhoto in the *+Sync Photos from...+* drop down menu. There select the radio button titled Selected albums, events, ......
In the Albums section select the album with the photos you want to sync and sync.
If you want to reduce the file size of those photos you'll have to export them out of iPhoto with the JPEG Quality level set at Medium or Low. Put those photos in a folder on your hard drive. In iTunes select Choose folder in that drop down menu, navigate to the folder with the reduced sized image files and select that folder. Then sync.

Why do my photos and text disinigrate quality (appear fuzzy / blurry / lo res) in premier pro cs6?

Premier Pro CS6 Question.....
Why do my photos and text disinigrate quality when imported to premier pro cs6?
I have still shots that have text and they look clean and crisp when I view them in photoshop. Why does the photo and text look so fuzzy or blurry and not crisp when I import the still files into premier pro cs6?
Is there a setting in premier that I am setting incorrectly? That is possibly blurring my photos and text? The problem appears in both my PR file and my final exported work.
Is there a way to retain the quality of the image and text that I see in my photoshop file?
Note: I am not enlarging anything after import, I am reducing though, but I would think this would only make images and text sharper????
Any help would be greatly appreciated, Im getting tired of doing all my work and delivering blurry / fuzzy / what appears to be low resolution images and text when I complete my project.
Thanks in advance for any help offered.

Hi Jim, thanks so much again for chiming in to my questions.
Specs of Stills - Photoshop file - 677 x 1014px, 150dpi, 1.96M file size, 150dpi, this is the size of the file I originally imported and reduced to approx. 65%, the one sized properly in photoshop imported fuzzier.
Sequence Settings -
Export Settings, FLV, attached are settings.
1. EXPORT FILTER SETTINGS...
2. EXPORT FORMAT SETTINGS
3. EXPORT VIDEO SETTINGS
FINAL PROJECT IS DELIVERY OF FLV FILE TO EMBED IN INTERACTIVE FILE. Ive tried different settings for different jobs, just feel all text and photos fall apart when pulled into and exported to FLV for embedding final.
Ive done several slideshow and video's in premier pro, have so much to learn still, Im thinking I keep diving into my projects and possibly making a total mess out of my settings for the desired final destination? is this possible?

Report painter report does not exist after applying support pack

Hi,
I have created report with the help of report painter for FI.
Also created transaction code for the same.
After applying the support pack, while testing I got the error that
program in the transaction code does not exists.
How to search that program and where or I need to create the same program again?
Thanx in advance.
-Umesh

The reason could be having (1) invalid characteristics value or (2) have not properly defined the General Data Section, most likely (1) in this case.
Either way, go to t-code GRR2 to change the report.
In the report row or column, is there an Element (the labels in red color) that does not make sense?
It could still have the correct label names, but double-click and go into "Record Types (from your error message)". Be sure to have the correctly define values attached to each Characteristics.
If all above seems okay, try (From top bar, select) Edit --> General Data Section. Think of this section as the "header data" of the report.
Good luck

Why does iMovie for iPad shorten the background song length after adding a photo?

Why does iMovie for iPad shorten the background song length after adding a photo?
I created a project a few months ago, and iMovie worked as it always had. I would create a project, add a background song, then add photos to fill up the song.
When I created a project today, I added the background song (4m9s), then added a single photo, and the background song length was shortened to 6 seconds. I have never seen the app work this way. I know I can extend the photo to the length of the background song, but it used to be so much easier to add photos and sync them with the music as I desi
I'm using iPad2 with iMovie v1.4.1.
Thoughts?

When I've added photos to a project they are added to a default time to appear. Honestly I've never looked at the time but 6 seconds sounds close. I'm guessing that since you added the photo after you add the music that its thinking you want the two to match in time length so it tunicates the music. Try adding the photo first then add the music. Good luck!
