Thumbnails Loading

I use Aperture with the library on a networked-harddrive. When opening a project I wait for Aperture to finish loading the thumbnails because the app is very sluggish when it's processing thumbnails. Once the thumbnails are loaded I begin viewing, and adjusting the RAW images. During this Aperture will randomly reload thumbnails from time to time. This causes performance degradation, and I'm wondering if anyone know of techniques to either force Aperture to cache thumbnails, or cancel thumbnail loading? Basically any suggestions that might improve the workflow are appreciated, thanks.

I've been working in Aperture for about a year with a networked library, prior to that I worked with a local library. The issue I am now experiencing arose post Snow-Leopard, otherwise I'd have suspected the same.
There have also been several others reporting this behavior.

Why won't thumbnails load in google news while i'm using safari?

I've searched for an answer to this question for the past month. Display images is checked under the appearance tab in prefrences, and my linksys router and OSX arecompletely reset and restored but the problem still persists... I've also tested google news in firefox and the thumbnails load just fine. SInce they work in other browsers I turned on the error console in safari and i notieced an error appears for every thumbnail it fails to open in the google news feed. It reads:
Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)news.google.com//nt0.ggpht.com/news/tbn/2P8tlc6h9PrPsM/6.jpg
Can anyone guess as to what i can do to correct this?

Check Safari > Preferences - Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that OFF, quit then relaunch Safari to test.
If it's not an extension issue, use OpenDNS for better speed, more security, it's free, and may help the 404 error.
Quit Safari.
Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.

Problem with thumbnails loading on LR Gallery.

Hi everyone.
I am having difficulty getting galleries to upload properly, and show the jpg files after running them through Lightroom.
I use the web gallery in LR, but then when I go to view a gallery online (it looks fine my the example given in LR), random photos are not uploaded.
I have tried uploading in LR, and also FileZilla.
The error I get in File Zilla is " 550 The process can not access the file because it is being used by another process.
Critical File Transfer Error."
The thumbnails that are being left out are COMPLETELY random! The number of the image left out varies from gallery to gallery.
I have called my host, as well as my internet provider, and there is no problem on their end.
I am working on horse show photos, and need to get these galleries uploaded correctly asap.
Can anyone help please??

Please anyone help in this regard. Thanks in advance.

Facebook Profile Pics & Thumbnail Loading Problem

I am facing a weird problem with web browsers for Macbook Pro Retina running OSX 10.9.2.
When I try to open Facebook with Safari or Google Chrome, the browsers do not load the thumbnails and profile pictures of people and pages.
But it works perfectly fine if I connect through some VPN like Tunnel Bear. I do not understand the problem with my browsers.
I have already tried clearing cache and deleting all website data but to no use. The problem still prevails.
Please help me out.

From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences... ▹ Network ▹ Advanced... ▹ DNS
Under DNS Servers you should have one or more numerical addresses, such as “192.168.1.1” or “10.0.0.1”. What are those addresses?

Why do my thumbnails not all load on a page like they used to before the last Firefox update?

I used to love firefox and used it exclusively as my web browser. But ever since the last update to version 3.6.15 the thumbnails on the websites I ALWAYS visit no longer all load!
Some of the thumbnails load and some don't. If I close firefox and go back to the same page I may get some of the thumbnails to load that didn't before but others that DID load before don't this time.
This same problem happens at other sites as well.
So, I gave up using firefox and switched back to IE because it works properly at least though I don't like it as much as firefox.
I wish they hadn't tried to fix something that wasn't broken because now it is broken!

See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

Thumbnails on MySpace and Facebook will not load on Safari

I just got a MacBook Pro a couple of months ago and I love it! I am having a minor problem getting pictures (normally thumbnails) on websites like facebook and myspace will not load. When I am logged on to the wireless internet at school these thumbnails load fine, the problem occurs only when I am at home and try to access these websites. I am connected wirelessly to a 2Wire DSL router. Any help with this annoyance would be greatly appreciated!

Just did a forced reboot, seems to have fixed the problem.

Photoshop Elements 11's Organizer slow to load Nikon NEF file thumbnails

PSE 11's Organizer app is loading Nikon NEF file thumbnails very slowly in their thumbnail browser. Has anyone noticed this? Anyone has a fix?
It's not my PC since thumbnails load quickly using Nikon's ViewNX 2 app.
Thanks,
Michael

The Nikon software uses the embedded jpeg thumbnail in the raw NEF file. The organizer creates the thumbnail from a converted version of your raw file; that way the thumbnail reflects the ACR default edits instead of that of your camera setting. The thumbnails in the organizer are updated if you do any edit to the raw files.
You can select a few images and run the 'update thumbnail' option to have their thumbnails created in priority.

The optimised imagery content loads OK but the actual Thumbnails feature stalls when loading the page.

Hi folks I have a problem here with Muse. I have a Macbook Pro running on X.10.9.4
When I try to load my Thumbnails widget in a browser the feature stalls.
The full size imagery is optimized OK and will load fast directly on the page without any problem without the Thumbnail widget enabled. If I go to Preview with the widget enabled as a slideshow the whole thing slowly grinds to a halt, usually before all of the thumbnails load. When and if they do eventually load the preview window does not. I must be doing something wrong? That page will obviously not upload. @

What is the "thumbnail widget"?

TA21328 Only the first three or four lines load the preview thumbnails when I Google images

Why is this happening? See all the thumbnails that fail to load. It cannot be a connection problem because if I do the same with Firefox on this MacBook Air, all the thumbnails load seamlessly. I've tried Reset Safari. I've tried Refresh and Reload. I've tried even Clear Cache (heck knows why). GGGRRR please help!

Does it help if you disable "Google Instant" in the Google Search settings?

How to specify SWF instead of an image in loading

I hope it is not too much over my head as I would like to make it work. Some time ago I recieved help in constracting an interactive image thumb scroller using greensock features.
My biggest problem at the moment is that I can not figure out how to change the code so the thumbs would bring up the swf files and not jpg files. In other words my small thumbnails are small jpg files (as they were intended to be), but my bigger visuals (the ones which are being brought by clicking on the small thumbnails) I would like to change to an swf file (as it contains its separate animation and additional set of buttons)

[/CODE]
I could figure out that I have to change the line
[CODE]
new ImageLoader("assets/images/" + image.@name + ".jpg", {name:image.@name + "Image", width:_IMAGE_WIDTH, height:_IMAGE_HEIGHT, scaleMode:"proportionalInside", bgColor:0x000000, estimatedBytes:820000, onFail:_imageFailHandler}
[/CODE]
and instead of ".jpg" put ".swf" (making sure that the names of the files are identical except for their extensions)
The problem is that I get an error message in the output that flash could not convert my swf file to the bitmap.
I suspect that I have to change the hard coding to specify that Loader Max should treat loading bigger swf files as swf and not as image/jpg files.
I don't have enough expertise to decipher all the lines where this has to be changed.
It feels that I am close to accomplishing what I need. Is it possible to point out where this change has to take place?
Here is my thought process:
I don't need to specify SWFLoader as LoaderMax is already specified (line 5)
I don't need to change anything in lines 31-34 as "Sprite" and "Slide" could be an .swf file (line31-34)
I don't need to change anything in line 50 for the same reason (line 50)
I don't need to change lines 66 and 68 as image list may contain swf files (line 66 and 68)
I do need to change ".jpg" to ".swf" in line 72 (line 72)
No sure if there are any changes in line 82 (line 82)
LoaderMax has var as imagesQueue does that need to be changed into SFWLoader? (lines98-102)
I don't think anything need to be changed in lines 138-173 as " Slide" can incorporate an SWF file (lines 138-173)
Not sure if there has to be a change in lines 175-177 as it specifies that slide is an image (lines 175-177)
Not sure if there has to be a change in lines 182-200 from imageLoager to SWFLoader (lines 182-200)
Not sure if there has to be a change in lines 239-245 in specifying SWFLoader (lines 239-245)
I am attaching the .xml and .as documents as well

This was my very first step.
The problem is that I get an error message in the output that flash could not convert my swf file to the bitmap.
I suspect that I have to change the hard coding to specify that Loader Max should treat loading bigger swf files as swf and not as image/jpg files.

Thumbnail images do not show on Elements 9

I have just installed Premiere Elements 9 after using Elements 7 for the last couple of years. I find that when I obtain jpeg images via "Add Media" the thumbnails load without the image showing but when I drag them onto the sceneline the image shows. Also I find like in the previous version were I would get a "system low on memory" message when I had a hundred images this version has come with this error and I have only 10 images and no video loaded.Hope someone has some ideas.

Have you resized your photos to no larger than 1000x750 pixels, per the FAQs to the right of this forum?
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/431851?tstart=0
As I explain in my books, oversized photos (and photos from digital cameras can be 20-30 times that size!) can cause this kind of odd behavior and, more than almost any other media, can cause the program to overload.

IPhoto6 images taking forever to load

Hi,
I recently am having trouble loading images/movies from iPhoto6 library. I have about 3500 photos, and my library use to load within a few minutes. I am not sure what the problem is. I just backed up my photos, because I am afraid iPhoto is going to crash soon. Any advice?

Bare with me..I am not that tech savy...I have a Mac Book pro with 2.16 Ghz intel processor and 1 gb667 MHz Ram..And I actually don't know how to find how much free space is left. What I can tell you is that many of all my thumbnails load..But there are a select group of photos that won't open into a larger picture. I thought maybe there was a problem with how they uploaded from my camera, so I tried uploading again, but I clicked do not import duplicates, so maybe it didn't replace them. I will try to delete the photos that don't load and try uploading images from my camera again. I will let you know if that works...Can you tell me how to find out how much free space I have on my harddrive. I know I have looked b4, but I forget...Thank you very much!

FLV takes half second to load in a SWF. Any way to eliminate the "white flash"?

I understand its not a perfect world and computers need to load things etc. But is there any trick to having an FLV play right away eliminating that half second of white?
The only thing I can think of is to export the first frame of the video as a jpg and have that in the background of the video. but other than that is there another fix?

The Flash Player only supports playback of FLV movie files.
It cannot
playback QuickTime movies or movies of any other format. If
you want to
play it within the Flash Player it will need to be converted
to FLV. You
could still offer a separate download of the MOV if you
wanted.

Using xml within thumbnail gallery

I'm creating a portfolio of websites I have designed.
I have it working with classic ASP & XML, but want a
Flash version too.
So far:
1) I have a sliding thumbnail gallery working in Flash MX
(using AS2) whereby clicking on thumbnails loads in a larger view
of the image. These images are screenshots of the websites.
2) I have loaded an xml file which contains locations of
thumbnails & larger images, as well as URL of each website, and
some text to describe each site's content. I am able to loop
through the xml to retrieve the data I need for each site.
I would now like to merge the 2.
i.e. click on thumbnail to slide in the larger image, and
dynamically add the URL and text descriptions for each site.
Can someone just point me in the right direction... I'll then
try to fill in the blanks, and post again with more specific
queries if needed.
Thanks.

Hi,
It would be helpful if you added a new unique identifier field to your collection to ensure that the correct record gets updated. In the discussion below, I am assuming you have a collection named Col1 with columns ID, ImageURL and Description.
ImageURL points to the images that get displayed in the gallery. The text in Description is bound to the input text box (named Text1) instances.
Now, set the Behavior > OnChange property of the input text box to: UpdateIf(Col1, ID=ThisItem!ID, {Description:Text1!Text}).
Whenever the input text is changed and you shift focus by clicking anywhere else on the canvas, the OnChange rule gets executed and your collection will be updated with the new text.
Thanks

Flash Image Gallery load problem

This a familiar problem that has been put up here a thousand
times I'm sure but as yet I haven't been able to find a solution
for it. I've put together a simple image gallery using Flash and an
XML file. It works perfectly on my system but there are issues with
the images loading properly when I put them onto my site. I know
very little Flash, I've been using a pre-made gallery that I
downloaded but since it works on my computer I assume I should be
able to get it to work online too. The thumbnails for the file seem
to work fine and the information from the XML file is obviously
being accessed, however the main images are not loading. I've
included all the code below (Actionscript, XML and the Web coding),
if someone could help me before I put my fist through a wall that
would be great:
Actionscript
stop();
//specify the url where folder is located below (if
applicable)
toadd="";
t = 0;
l = 0;
theside = 1;
galxml = new XML();
galxml.load(toadd+"flash/fashion/easy-xml-gallery-2.xml");
galxml.ignoreWhite = true;
galxml.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
maxnum = galxml.firstChild.childNodes.length;
for (n=0; n<maxnum; n++) {
specs = galxml.firstChild.childNodes[n];
//TEXT FOR SIDE NAV
duplicateMovieClip(side.thumbs.thumbsb, "thumbs"+n, n);
thumbclip = eval("side.thumbs.thumbs"+n);
thumbclip._x = n*100;
thumbclip.thetitle = specs.attributes.name;
thumbclip.theurl = specs.attributes.theurl;
thumbclip.thecaption = specs.attributes.caption;
thumbclip.thenum = n+1;
thumbclip._alpha = 100;
loadMovie(toadd+"/flash/fashion/images/"+(n+1)+"b.jpg",
thumbclip.thumbload.thumbload2);
play();
side.thumbs.thumbsb._visible = false;
mainperc.onEnterFrame = function() {
if (mainperc.perc<98) {
mainperc._alpha += 5;
mainperc.perc = Math.round(l/t*100);
mainperc.perctext = mainperc.perc+"%";
mainperc.ltext = "OF THUMBNAILS LOADED
("+Math.round(t/1024)+"kb)";
if (mainperc.perc>98) {
//mainperc._alpha -= 5;
if (mainperc._alpha<-50) {
delete mainperc.onEnterFrame;

Yep, these are the directions:
this is very easy to update. You only need to edit the simple
xml file and add images to the images folder.
step 1.
add as many images as you like at the size 536 x 403
step 2.
create thumbnails for the above images at size 100x75
step 3.
update the xml file with the name url and caption for each
image. (to take the url off just click through to the button on the
main picture and delete the script that says getURL(theurl)
step 4.
open flash file and change the 'toadd' variable to the folder
where the flash file and image folder is located on your site.
thats it done.
The frustrating thing now is that the files are finally being
found but the thumbnail function has decided to mess up.
