Theme Rendering picks up desktop image & open windows?

When I 'apply' a theme in iMovie (like the Open - Road Trip theme,)something very odd happens - the rendered result flickers between the expected theme video output and a garbled version of my desktop background and any other windows I may have open. It happens every time. I've tried deleting preferences and reinstalling iM but no good. Working solely off of the internal HD, have ample space (@50% free.) Not seeing any issues in any other application. Has anybody seen this or have any suggestions?

I haven't tried burning a DVD but have exported to different file types (.mov & .mpg). The weird video I'm seeing in the timeline is what shows up in the output. i.e. Down to the frame, I can see the same distorted background image.

Desktop image been gimped in leopard?

I just upgraded to 10.5 from 10.3 in the last couple of days. Just a question:
In 10.3 when selecting an image to use as your desktop image the selector would show all the pictures in the selected file, and the folders, letting you click through to navigate to many different folders in the directory.
It seems that in 10.5 it now only shows the images in a selected folder, and not the folders therein, which makes picking new desktop images far more time consuming.
Is there some hidden option somewhere, or is this part of 10.5 just a bit gimped compared to the earlier version?

I'm not talking about adding a single folder. I'm talking about once a folder has been added (such as the pictures folder), you can no longer just browse through all the folders within the selection window.
In 10.3 if you had a folder selected it would show all the pictures & folders within, then, without having to choose 'add folder' you could search through the full contents of a folder, which it seems you can't now.
Being able to just search all you pictures at one time was far more user friendly than having to add every bloody folder with a picture in it to the list.

Mission Control: Application Does Not Switch To Assigned Desktop Once Open

I have Adobe Photoshop CS5 assigned to DESKTOP 2 in Mission Control. If Photoshop is closed, and I launch it from the dock or Launchpad, Lion switches to DESKTOP 2 to launch Photoshop. This is what I want.
However, if Photoshop is already open and I click on an image file in Adobe Bridge, or Finder, Lion does not switch to DESKTOP 2. Photoshop will launch on whatever desktop I am on, in front of Finder or Adobe Bridge.
I have experienced this when I have "Automatically rearrange spaces based on most recent use" and "When switching to an application, switch to a desktop with open windows for this application" on or off. Both settings seem to have the same problem.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Any suggestions? I used this feature extensively with Spaces, and Lion is killing my workflow unless I can get this figured out.
Thanks!!

Wait DONT reinstall yet!!! there is a switch for this:
I bet yours is toggled the wrong way.

Desktop images changer question

I'm relatively new to using a Mac, so bear with me on this one: I have a MacBook Pro with the most recent version of OS X Leopard on it. I downloaded some wallpaper/desktop images off the Internet, created a separate folder for them inside the Library - Desktop Images folder, but I want to have the system change them at intervals, in random order, which is easy enough to do. I'd also like the system to cycle through all the desktop images in the desktop images folder, and not just the newly created Downloaded Images folder. Will Leopard do that automatically (or can it)? If not, is there a way to implement this?
Thank you, ahead of time.

you need to put all images in the same folder if you want the system to cycle through them It can't cycle through images in two different folders at once.

"I plugged the external into the Mac and moved a folder of images onto the desktop. It looks like it went from read only to not locked. Is this possible?"
Yes, that's exactly what happened. If you buy another drive, you could copy from your existing drive to the new and your files will be read/write. The new drive will have to be formatted as an HFS drive (that's the Mac's format). If you need to format it, you use Disk Utility which is in the Utilities folder on your Mac. Be careful with that -- it wipes out whatever is currently on the drive. Make sure you format the right drive.
I keep all my images on an external drive, too. In fact, I have two matching drives and sync them so I always have a backup.

On my Mac desktop I must have changed a setting so that now when I move the mouse the open windows fly off to the sides and I can't see them. They come back when I move the mouse, but it is so annoying. How can I make the windows not disappear like that?

Click on the Hot Corners.. button and look at the four definitions. In the picture below, if you moved the cursor to the right top of the screen, it would slide all the applications off the screen as you describe and show the desktop. Set it to "-" to deactivate.

How do I fix my left shift key? Any open windows leave and make the desktop visible. I have tired to go into system preferences and reset all of the keyboard settings to default but the issue hasn't gone away.

You are not running as administrator, I think, which may be required and the only way to properly work and register. Also check for compatibility mode settings, UAC and DEP, all of which may require to be adjusted for a legacy app like PS CS2 to run properly. Also turn off Aero and switch to a conventional visual theme. The brush issue may be related to that or is a more generic problem with your graphics card and mouse config, but since you didn't provide any info on that, it will be hard for anyone to advise.

Photoshop 12.0.4 update - multiple open windows show wrong image

I recently updated all my CS5 apps to the latest version. Photoshop (12.0.4) is now showing odd behaviour with multiple open windows.
If I select View > Arrange > Float All in Windows (or drag a tabbed window into a separate floating window) the images displayed show the same image or they mirror each other at random. For instance, if I have two images showing an apple and an orange and float them in separate windows, sometimes both windows show an orange. If I click on the apple image, both images become apples. Click again, and the clicked image toggles (so apple.jpg shows an orange, and vica versa). This also affects new documents.
Things I have tried:
1. Deleting the Photoshop Settings File.
2. Running Disk Utility permissions and disk checks.
3. Booting from a backup clone on an external hard drive running Photoshop 12.0.2 – everything’s fine.
One possible cause of the problem is that I’m not running an up-to-date system. I’m still on 10.6.2 (for various reasons: I’d read too many reports of problems with updates, so I decided to stay put; if it ain’t broke don’t fix it, but that could be coming back to bite me). Before I take the plunge and update to 10.6.8, can anyone suggest some basic troubleshooting or repair procedures I could try.
Thanks
Jim

Yes! Switching it off and back on again seems to have fixed it.
Many thanks!
Incidentally, are there any major issues around CS5 and 10.6.8 that anyone knows of? I know that's a rather broad question but I wonder how many people are holding back on earlier OS versions.

[SOLVED] Gnome doesn't apply the theme to new opened windows

Hi,
I'm using Gnome as desktop environment, but encountered a really annoying issue .
I want to change the theme and therefore do the following "Right click on desktop -> "Change desktop background" -> Theme -> "Darklooks". All opened windows (as well as the panels) get now dark, just as expected. But as soon as I open up a new windows (or add something to a panel) it doesn't get affected by the theme, but it is display with the standard bright grey. After changing the theme again (I have to choose another first, and then go back to "Darklooks") all "new" windows get dark also.
As I'm not happy with this situation I ask you for help? What is wrong with my Gnome?

Can I save all open windows, and reload them later?

Hi,
I work on different projects using different applications.
Say I am working on recording, and editing an audio. I have Quicktime open, finder(showing files) and GarageBand. Is there anyway I can save the current open windows, so at a later date I can just resume where I left off, rather then having to reopen the finder window, and the applications. It's almost liek I want a snapshot of what's open.
Is there a 3rd party program that does this?
Thanks.

Thanks for the answer, but I would really like to close the apps. I may not return to the project for weeks. That's why I would love if a program could save the current open apps, so when I return to my project. I run this program and boom all of my Finders, and applications are restored the way I left them. It saves me time.

I have Firefox Home installed on my iPhone. It has all of my current open windows and bookmarks. I have a new desktop computer. How do i transfer?

I don't want to lose all of my open windows and bookmarks!

The Firefox Home uses Firefox Sync, and as I said, you can't transfer from iPhone to Desktop, it's 1-way. You can transfer your data from your old computer to your new one, but not from iPhone to Desktop. Firefox home isn't even developed or supported anymore.

Firefox asks (twice) to save and close tabs, on new open windows without tabs, when i close them.

About one month ago, i started to receive a message box from firefox, asking if i wanted to save and close tabs, on newly open windows (and pop-ups) without any tabs open on them.
And everytime i close the windows without tabs, firefox asks it twice...
I did not made any changes, so i don't know why it started doing this.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
