Thumbnail and image issues iPhoto 'o8 & Leopard

I installed iLife '08 a few weeks ago and then installed Leopard on the day it was released. I have recently imported a few high-res images (adjusted in Photoshop CS2) and some of them are listed in my iPhoto library but I can not see the photos. I simply get a black thumbnail and when I double click the image it does not appear in the separate window. I can see the image when I go to make a slideshow, but I can see the image when viewing it in the folder or event. Any idea what the issues are?
Thanks,
Mark

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

  • Continuing font encoding and tag issues with snow leopard and CS4oI

    I am looking for help with a font handling issue with snow leopard and cs4 Indesign. Despite numerous calls and hours on the phone neither Apple nor Adobe has been helpful. I have had this issue open with Adobe since oct 5 but they remain totally unresponsive to date. I need to be able to use Type 1 fonts and do the following , export a pdf from Indesign with the following attributes: 1) xml tags for stories and objects. 2) have the fonts encoded as ansi and embedded.
    Some additional information  - exporting to ps is not an option as it destroys the xml tags. and doesn't guarantee that the fonts won't become CID or some other odd encoding.
    As it stands now,
    Leopard (10.5.8) and CS3 creates ansi encoded fonts with xml tags.
    Leopard (10.5.8) and CS4 creates ansi encoded fonts with xml tags.
    Snow leopard and CS3 creates ansi encoded fonts and xml tags
    Snow leopard and CS4 creates custom subsetted fonts and some xml tags.
    If any one has any advice on how to force specific font encodings from CS4 pdf exports so that i can preserve the tags and get the correct fonts I would be grateful.

    The font encoding is not a function of the OS version, but rather of how a font is internally encoded and the content you are representing with the font.
    If you are seeing a difference between MacOS 10.5 and 10.6 with the same Adobe software, it probably has something to do with use of a system font that is somehow different from one version of the OS to another. InDesign does not use any of the OS' font handling software.
    Assuming that the fonts are embedded, subset or not, what is your issue with whether a font is ANSI-encoded, custom-encoded, or CID-encoded? It should make no difference for purposes of workflow beyond InDesign for software that adheres to the PDF specification (including all versions of PDF from 1.3 and up to 1.7 plus ISO 32000-1 PDF and all versions of PDF/X and PDF/A).
    Neither InDesign or any other Adobe application provides user choices for the encoding since it shouldn't make a difference. The encodings chosen by Adobe's core technology components are for a combination of optimization and to support proper text search, copy, etc.

  • Help with adjusting spacing between thumbnails and image in slideshow

    How can I adjust the spacing on the slideshow page?
    Customer wants more space between the thumbnails at the top and the image(s). Can I move the image & navigation tool or adjust the image size relative to the thumbnails and navigation tool at the bottom?
    Although I'm familiar with html source code and working on simple stuff at that level, I have yet to locate it in iWeb and make any adjustments.
    If anyone has step-wise instructions, I'd appreciate it. Thanks much.

    Although I'm familiar with html source code and working on simple stuff at that level, I have yet to locate it in iWeb and make any adjustments.
    iweb photos page's elements: header controls, detail view and footer controls are generated by ajax widgets, so there is nothing to in page source for you to find.
    If anyone has step-wise instructions, I'd appreciate it. Thanks much.
    that would be the instruction on how ajax widgets build photos page... there is none.
    you can send feedback to apple and ask for details on iweb widgets and tools to build widgets.
    that said, it can be done... check out with safari: http://temp.cyclosaurus.com/DetailView_Rearranged/Photos.html
    code is linked to my example, i don't do tutorial.

  • Thumbnails and image viewer

    I need to make a page with a bunch of thumbnails, where
    clicking on any of the thumb nails makes that image appear bigger
    in a different part of the screen. I know this can be done but I
    cant remember that the terminology is. Could someone tell me what
    this is called so I can google a tutorial on this?
    thanks
    james

    Hi.
    It´s easy. I will try, with my bad english, explain you
    how to do it. Only
    as trainer.
    1. Create a table with 2 cells and 2 rows.
    2. Now in the first left cell insert one of the thumbnail.
    3. In the second left cell insert another thumbnail.
    4. Now select the two right rows, while click right and
    select table-combine
    cells. Insert here one of your big image. This will be the
    image wich will
    be seen when the page loads.
    5. Select the images, one to one, and down in the Properties
    Inspector you
    will see a small image. Give a name to every image in the
    small white box.
    6. Select the first thumbnail and click the Tag Inspector
    menu. Click the +
    in Behaviors and select Swap Image.
    7. In the new Swap image box select the name of your big
    image and in the
    Source image click browse and select the big image wich
    correspond to the
    thumbnail you select in point 6.
    Repeat the process.
    For default the swap image is set on mouse over, click over
    "on mouse over"
    and change it for on click.
    I hope that you understand this steps.

  • Mail and Gmail issues in Snow Leopard

    I've used Gmail with Mail for years, and it has suddenly stopped behaving. Mostly it takes *forever* for a message to be sent, but downloading messages can also take it's sweet time. I have several Gmail address I check, all are doing this. iPad and iPhone both work fine, so the issue seems to be isolated to the laptop.
    I'm running Snow Leopard on a MacBookPro from mid-2009.
    Many thanks for help.
    marie

    Yes.  I'm having a whole series of problems with Mail.app and GMail.  The problems are pretty well documented (links below), but I haven't seen any good fixes or heard any indication that Apple is taking them seriously.

    In addition to archived emails returning to the inbox, I'm seeing significant delays in new mail appearing in my inbox:  sometimes as long as hours after the mail appears on my iPhone and in the GMail web console.

  • Keyboard and mouse issues following Snow Leopard update

    I have a relatively ancient iMac--first aluminum bodied Intel-based model c. 2007. I was having issues updating my browsers (firefox, chrome) because I was on the old OS X (10.5.8 I think). So I did the Snow Leopard upgrade and since then have been having persistent keyboard (aluminum wireless) and mouse (mighty mouse connected via USB) issues.
    I have verified the keyboard is connected via Bluetooth. I have verified that the keyboard is responding by opening the keyboard viewer and watching each of the keys light up as I type. Also, the keyboard will wake the computer from sleep and sometimes allow me to toggle between programs with Command+Tab.
    Nevertheless, the keyboard will NOT type inside programs such as Word and Chrome. (It WILL type in the Post-it Note dashboard app, but I can't copy and paste into a browser from there.)
    The Mouse will work in Chrome but in Finder and iTunes, e.g., it will not work. I can't use the mouse to select a folder in the folder tree to the left or to select a song or file/folder in the main window. I CAN, however, use the mouse to minimize/maximize/close each window.
    Rebooting corrects the problem temporarily, but if I get up and walk away for a bit the keyboard and mouse re-freeze upon returning.
    I have reset the PRAM and SMC because I saw these fixes listed in other discussion threads. Neither has fixed my issue.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers,
    Steve

    Hi Steve,
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • Certificate and Image Issue

    Hi All,
    I have previously been a user of captivate 4 and have just downloaded the trial of captivate 6 at my new place of work with a view to investing in it for our e-learning going forward.
    I have written a small trial module and have a couple of issues - have googled etc but cannot find the answer so here goes....
    Certificate - in captivate 4 i was able to insert the certifcate widget and it would pull the name of the learner through from a variable V_Name. I have tried this in v6 and it does not bring the name onto the certificate - ive used V_Name and just tried User_Name as variables but still no name appears on the certifate.
    I have also tried to get it too display the name of my module in the 'has taken the course' section of the certifcate - in captivate 4 i manually entered that onto the widget in the cert slide which worked fine - in v6 that is not an option... i have added a variable with the name of the module but that has not worked. - any ideas would be welcome...
    Also,
    Images as Red Boxes
    I have a problem with some of my images showing as red boxes on the published scorm package when it is played back through moodle. We've run it on 2 pcs on the network with the same issue - flash player is v10 and im publishing it in flash player 10. These images work absolutely fine on my mac in preview mode. Very strange. Also, I have some of the images which are red boxes in the main slideshow but appear absolutely fine on a question slide?? Again any ideas would be much appreciated.

    Hi Lilybiri.
    Thanks for the reply.
    I tried the variable v_Name (lowercase v) and that has worked for the certifcate - still not too sure how to get the course name populated?
    The images are mainly jpegs and png's and bitmaps. I just checked the slide quality and it was on low 8 bit - so have changed that. Cant see an option for transparency...I'll try it with the slide quality changed and see what happens.
    Whilst you're about - can you help with a question about text entry boxes please? I've set up a TEB at the beginning for the learner to type in their learning objectives - the key things that they want to get from the module. I made 3 TEBs so that they could write a max of 3 objectives. I've associated the TEB with the following $$TTextEntryItem1Var$$ but it only displays around 13 characters of text?
    Thanks,
    Alex

  • Updating thumbnails and the disappearing iPhoto library

    i was greeted with a message asking if I wanted to updated my thumbnails in iPhoto 08 earlier today. When I selected "yes", every photo I had vanished. I can still find them on my hard drive, but, I recently spent a good amount of time creating events.
    When I click on my iPhoto library, iPhoto simply launches. If I search for the name of an event I created, say "vacation" for instance, the folder shows up in finder. Also, I backed up my home folder yesterday, and tried to restore the library without any luck. I do have an iLife backup from 2 weeks ago, however, I have spent a fair amount of time organizing and don't particularly want to do it again. Anyone know if there is a way to recover?

    Robert
    Sounds like you have a corrupted database file.
    Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file. If not, then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events UNcheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • Thumbnails and images

    Can anyone shed some light on this, the stress level trying

    The above will not validate in W3C, I've checked and checked
    and cannot find a problem.
    We are using the following DOCTYPE.

    If I had Fireworks an album could be created but I don't have
    it yet.
    Thank y'all.

    Whats this property added into the image tag?
    xthumbnail-orig-image="images/IMG_3849.JPG"
    I would guess if you remove that, you will validate.
    One other thing - you might want to add a title tag for
    accessibility.

  • H.264 .mov problem how can you fix thumbnail and sound issue in Imovie08

    Hi Experts,
    So I used Dvdxdv to rip my personal DVD's to my mac. Since the files were 1.69gb each for a small amount of video, I used quicktime to compress them to H.264 the codecs is Integer(little Endian),H.264 to be exact. An 8 minute video is now 1.09g vs 1.69gb. for the record it is a 2channel total bitrate of 19519. The problem I have is when I load these into Imovie the Thumbnails all show the same picture (sometimes just gray & some show different every once and a while but mainly as described). This may not be a problem to me if the video matched the sound but it does not. It will when you play outside of Imovie using just the file in quicktime but not within I movie. Any thoughts? Is it the size? Please advise as I have used DV files and had no problem. I thought .mov as long as it was H264 would work. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Ge

    Sorry Video size just incase this makes a difference is 720X480
    thanks

  • Tried to reinstall iPhoto library from external hard drive, it shows that the photos and events are there but there are no thumbnails and if you click on an image or video nothing comes up.

    My hard drive crashed recently and we took it to apple to get repaired. The apple employees said that they would have to replace the hard drive but they didn't have the equipment to get the data off my hard drive. So I took it to a computer store who had the right equipment after a month and a half of waiting they finally got all the data off my hard drive and put it on an external hard drive (Seagate Expansion Portable Drive). I then took it back to apple who replaced the hard drive. Now I'm in the process of reinstalling everything. I have never done a Time Machine back up or backed my laptop up to . Which I now will do very often once I've reinstalled everything. I have reinstalled all of my desktop images and folders as well as my iTunes library with no issues. However when i went to reinstall my iPhoto library it came up blank. I then Rebuilt the library several times and this was the result.
    It shows that the photos and events are there but there are no thumbnails and if you click on an image or video nothing comes up.
    Please help i have three years worth of images from holidays on here and would be devastated if i lost them.

    iPhoto cannot find the thumbnails or the original pictures.
    Go to your iPhoto Library in the Pictures Folder.
    Right-click on it and from the resulting menu, choose 'Show Package Contents'.
    This will bring you inside the iPhoto Library package. There you should see a Folder called Masters. Within that, there should be folder containing your actual photos.
    Are they there?

  • The photos in my IPhoto have all become mini-thumbnails and I can't open or edit them. When I print the image it comes out normal size.  How do I get the thumbnails back to the standard size and be able to work with them?

    The photos in my IPhoto have all become mini-thumbnails and I can't open or edit them. When I print the image it comes out normal size.  How do I get the thumbnails back to the standard size and be able to work with the photo files?

    What version of iPhoto and system are you running?  On the guess that you're running the latest iPhoto, 9.4.2, Try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the thumnails, Option #2.
    2 - It may take 2-3 attempts so don't give up after only one attempt.

    Art,
    I am trying to follow your very precise steps, and in my case (PSE11 also, Win7), the focus stays on the edited picture after I return from the editor to the Organizer. I am pretty sure that in the previous post describing your situation, I was able to reproduce the problem, but I don't remember on which version. I just tried in 'Folders' view mode to edit in a selected folder, then I clicked 'All media' so that no folder was selected. Same result in both cases.
    Even if you prefer to work in folders view, you could take advantage of the ability to use 'albums'. It's a misleading word to describe a selection, a 'collection' of pictures, which you can sort as you want. It's a kind of  'playlist' like with music items. In the organizer, you can select a folder and create an album (even a temporary one) just by choosing 'create instant album'. Suppose you have made an album from a folder or a selection of highlighted pictures to edit. You can order them in date order, import batch or 'custom' order'. Since PSE12 you can also sort them in filename order. You should never lose the 'focus' on your last edited picture when coming back from the editor to the organizer. If the purpose of that album is only to help in organizing an editing session, you simply delete the album (the playlist) if you don't want to keep the list afterward.
    I hope someone will be able to confirm how that can happen...
    Edit;
    I have just read Brian's post.
    That may be the difference...
