Urgent help needed with iPhoto/pdf preview for book order - mysterious pixelated areas show on PDF but not in iPhoto

Hello. I ordered an iPhoto book last week to give to my parents for their 50th wedding anniversary. Tonight, I just checked on the order status and found that my book is cancelled. I received no notification about it, and all I could do was fill out the online form, so customer service will get back to me on Monday via email (if I'm lucky...). There is no telephone number for me to call about this. I decided I'd best do some searching to try to figure out what had happened.
I had thought that the preview I saw in iPhoto was the preview of the book. I found out I was wrong. So I created a PDF preview of the book and found some craziness that I don't understand. In iPhoto (and any other program, i.e. PhotoShop), my photos are fine. They are mostly TIFF format and high resolution with a few high res JPEGs. However, when I view the PDF, there is a band of black and white pixelation about 1/2-inch across the bottom of some pages - not all. The photos in that area are messed up in that band zone. The other photos are totally unaffected. This affects both TIFF and JPEG photos, and both black and white and color.
Has anyone else had this problem, and what was your solution? I would be extremely grateful to anyone for advice or information about this! The anniversary party is less than a week away and I'm beyond my limit of stress right now...

Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new library. Import enough photos for a book (use some of those in the current book) create a new book and preview as a PDF. If you don't see the problem then it's limited to your library which may be damaged. If that's the case make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Fix #2
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot and the option to rebuild the small thumbnails.
Click to view full size
If you get the same problem in the test library then log into another user account on your Mac, create a test library and try it there. If the problem shows up there a reinstall of iPhoto is indicated. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder,

If you don't encounter the problem in the other user account then it's something in your account that's the culprit. Post back with the results.

Urgent help needed with un-removable junk mail that froze Mail!!

Urgent help needed with un-removable junk mail that froze Mail?
I had 7 junk mails come in this morning, 5 went straight to junk and 2 more I junked.
When I clicked on the Junk folder to empty it, it froze Mail and I can't click on anything, I had to force quit Mail and re-open it. When it re-opens the Junk folder is selected and it is froze, I can't do anything.
I repaired permissions, it did nothing.
I re-booted my computer, on opening Mail the In folder was selected, when I selected Junk, again, it locks up Mail and I can't select them to delete them?
Anyone know how I can delete these Junk mails from my Junk folder without having to open Mail to do it as it would appear this will be the only solution to the problem.

Hi Nigel
If you hold the Shift key when opening the mail app, it will start up without any folders selected & no emails showing. Hopefully this will enable you to start Mail ok.
Then from the Mail menus - choose Mailbox-Erase Junk Mail . The problem mail should now be in the trash. If there's nothing you want to retain from the Trash, you should now choose Mailbox- Erase Deleted Messages....
If you need to double-check the Trash for anything you might want to retain, then view the Trash folder first, before using Erase Junk Mail & move anything you wish to keep to another folder.
The shift key starts Mail in a sort of Safe mode.

Some urgent help needed with MobileMe suddenly saying my password is wrong

Hi
First of all I want to say sorry if this is in the wrong forum, but I needed some urgent help and I couldn't find a forum other than this that might relate to this issue.
The issue that I am having is with my MobileMe Account. I was on my Mac, when when my MobileMe Account suddenly dropped its connection and told me that I had entered the wrong username or password (I know I hadn't) I tried to re-enter them but every time I try I just get a message that says I have entered the wrong username or password. I no longer have access to my Mail, I can not sing-in to MobileMe to access my online account and it wont let me change the password because it keeps saying that safari can not open the page.
I can not sign-in to my MobileMe folders on my Mac and it wont sync. I was signed in perfectly fine before this happened so I know its nothing to-do with my password or user name.
I am now locked out of MobileMe and need some help as to what might have went wrong
Can someone please give me some quick help as this is really worrying me as I am afraid my MobileMe account might of been hacked (that is the kind of behaviour that I am seeing - saying that my username and password are wrong, when they are not, and not letting me sign in to change them)
Huge thanks

Ughhh,
it seems my panic was for nothing. I just ran apple 24 hour support and they put it right for me it cost me but I'd rather be safe and pay then loose all the information I have on MobileMe. This has taught me a lesson anyway, I need to keep a backup of everything and not just rely on time machine

Please help me with the two issues:
1) In ECC 6.0, When I go to SE12 , table V-FAGL_ACTIVEC (New GL Activation) to make the table display and maintenance allowed, I am asked for the access key. What is the access key that I am supposed to put here. When I go to DEVACCESS table and put my username, I still dont get the access key.
2) Also I need to know what should be maintained under SU01 to give a user all authorizations. I have SAP_ALL and SAP_NEW. Is there anyother profile need to be given here. Also do I need to give anything under roles tab in order for the user to have all accesses??

Urgent help need with Spry Submenu Bar

Am new to Dreamweaver and do not use code. Am trying to align spry submenus directly below their respective spry menu bars. Please advise as to what CSS style I need to modify and what I should necessarily modify within that style.
Thank you.

Am new to Dreamweaver and do not use code.
Welcome to Dreamweaver. If you don't use code, now is the time to start learning. Otherwise, everything you do in Dreamweaver is going to be an uphill struggle. Dreamweaver is a professional web development tool that requires at least a basic knowledge of both HTML and CSS. You can find a lot of CSS tutorials in the Adobe Developer Connection at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/css.html.
Spry submenus automatically line up with the main menu items, so it sounds as though you have done something to knock them out of alignment. The only way that anyone can help with design issues is for you to upload the problem page to a site, and post the URL here. Since you're new to both Dreamweaver and the forum, take a few moments to check out How to get help quickly and the Dreamweaver FAQ. Both should save you some time.

URGENT HELP NEEDED with exporting avi

I have the following problem: I am using Flash 8 Professional
to produce a series of avi files showing the motion of a dot along
different paths. Whenever I use the drawing tools to draw the path
everything is all right: I can export both a swf and an avi file
showing the motion. The problems start when I use action acript to
specify the path: then a swf can be exported, but not an avi file
(Flash acts as if it is exporting but the avi file produced shows
only a stationary dot). Can anybody help me?

I need help ASAP, edits are showing in PS, but not in other programs

I hope someone can give me an answer. In only one folder, I have edited JPEGs that show edits in Bridge, Camera Raw and Photoshop, but not in Windows Explorer. I discovered this when trying to burn them on a disk. Is this something related to a setting in Bridge and is tehre a way to fix it so it accepts all the changes. Thank you!
P.S. I am using CS4

Uh huh...that's to be expected unless you actually opened and processed the images through Camera Raw and Photoshop. All you've done to this point is edit the metadata settings, not the actual pixels. To see the final edits in other apps, you'll need to process the files and resave them as completely edited files. Bridge will properly diaply the metadata edits...but nothing else can.

Urgent help needed with Lucida Grande

I have to use this font for a project, I can't get away with Lucida sans, it HAS to be Lucida Grande.
I don't quite know what is going on but I have some text in Lucida Grande Regular which is all fine, I tried creating another text box but it's showing up as Lucida Grande Bold? I tried to change it to Regular but there's no option for it? When there is regular font right next to it?
If this is something really simple I'm sorry! This is my first time using indesign, if it was my choice I would of used something I was more familiar with. The deadline is on Friday so it's urgent I get help so it doesn't get presented half bold half not.
Using CS5, on Windows Vista

Yes that's fine. Unfortunately is doens't show something obviously out of the ordinary.
I gues the next ting is to see if the font is available in a new document. If it is, try this on the one giving you trouble: Remove minor corruption by exporting
If not, you should look at: Replace Your Preferences

Urgent help need with 8i/9iAS install

Hello,
I need some help, preferably a summarized point list of how to install Oracle 8i and Oracle 9iAS to run WebDB (Portal). Is it required that I need some patches from Oracle?
I am having a tough time trying to make the Portal work on my machine: (Win2000 pro/128 MB/P III ~866MHz
Any help would be appreciated very much.
Thanks in advance

Hi! Here are some of the things that you need to do, in order to Install Portal.
Questions you should ask yourself before installing Portal:
1: Do you already have a Database to Start with. Oracle Portal Successfully installs on only Supports Enterprise Editions of Oracle 8.1.6 Edition and 8.1.7 (Both Standard and Enterprise Editions)
2. If you already have a Oracle 8i Database, remember your sys password, as this is needed to install Oracle Portal. The database Listener(TNS Listener) should be up and running before installing Oracle Portal.
3. If your Oracle 8i HTTP Listener( Which is Apache Server Listener which comes by default with every Oracle 8i installation) is Running, PLEASE SHUT THAT OFF OR CHANGE THE SETTING TO MANUAL MODE, or Remove that from the Services Directory, Since, this is just a Basic Apache Server which does not have any of the Pl/sql gateway's and/or other Gateway settings that are required for Installing Oracle Portal.
4. If you have Oracle 8i Database, Increase the Following Settings to the below mentioned limits in your ini<SID>.ora file
large_pool_size =60000000
java_pool_size = 5000000
shared_pool_size=6000000
Space of "USERS" Table Space =200MB
Space of "TEMP" Table Space =200MB
Space of "SYSTEM" Table Space="600MB"
Shut Down the Instance and Restart the instance in a Normal mode.
5: Install Oracle IAS on a seperate Directory or Home than the Oracle 8i Home.
6. Now you are ready to use Portal30 Configuration Assistent.
Start the Configuration Assistent, Follow through the Steps and you should be able to install successfully.
A Couple of Hints.
Make sure the Computer Name you are installing Oracle Portal on is in Lower Case.
Usually the installation takes a Couple of Hours depending upon your processor Speed and Memory available.
Please check to See if there are any Errors in the Installation Logs.
Check on Technet.oracle.com to see any Installation White Papers Out there.
I hope this Helps

Urgent help need with WRE54G ver3

Hi, I need help with this range expander.
By some divine miracle I managed to connect my WRE54G to BT router successfully.
The main purpose for me buying this product is to get the range to use on my Playstation 3
So, I've got the WRE54G set up to extend my routers range, and it is working. My PS3 can detect it.
The problem is that if I try to connect to it, I cannot obtain the IP address.
This happens if anything tried to connect to the WRE54G, it does not seem to be giving out the IP address
Please help!

This means your WRE is not configured properly..When your WRE is connected to the Power Outlet, whats the Light status on the WRE, Is both the Link and Act Light on your WRE is Blue?
When your computer is connected to the Router, whats the IP address you computer is getting ? To find out the IP address click on Start - RUN - CMD and click Ok, now in the Command Prompt type "Ipconfig" and hit enter, and note down the IP address and the Default Gateway..
When you Configure your WRE, make you sure your WRE IP address is in the same segment of your Router. The Default IP address for the WRE is 192.168.1.240..
Make sure the Wireless Settings of your WRE and your Router is same..
Click Here and Follow the instructions how to configure your WRE.

Urgent help needed with reading data from Cube

Hi Gurus,
Can anyone tell me how to read a value from a record in the CUBE with a key (combination of fields).
Please provide if you have any custome Function Module or piece of code.
Any ideas are highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Regards,
aarthi

Due to the nature of the cube design, that would be difficult, that's why there are API's, FMs, and MDX capabilities - to eliminate the need to navigate the physical structure. Otherwise you would have to concern yourself with:
- that there are two fact tables E and F that would need to be read. The Factview could take of this one.
- you would want to be able to read aggregates if they were available.
- the fact table only as DIM IDs or SIDs (for line item dims) to identify the data, not characteristic values. A Dim ID represents a specific combination of characteristic values.

Urgent Help Needed with missing frames

Hi guys
I have a student with an urgent problem that I can't seem to fix.
The student is making a film having shot it on mini DV tape. He has been editing the film in Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5, editing sections in different sequences.
The problem he is having is when he moves a selection of clips on his timeline random frames or half frames disappear, leaving a very quick flash to black.
I cant work out why the frames are disappearing when moving clips up and down the timeline, any suggestions?
Thanks
SteveG

The settings for a sequence cannot be changed once it is created.
If source footage is being interpreted wrongly, right-click the source file on the project panel and choose Modify > Interpret Footage. You can now create a new sequence that matches the real properties of your footage.
Dragging one sequence into another won't cure the problem; you have to copy the footage from the timeline into the new sequence so it reverts to the new sequence frame rate (assuming the footage has been defined properly in the project panel it will then be correct).

Urgent help needed with installation of Logic!

Urgent help needed with CP5 on Windows 7 64 bit and 'old' CP 5 projects.....

Hi,
I have a serious problem, at least the sympthoms are very serious.
I have worked on a lot of projects with CP 5 on Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bit.
CP5 was installed on the default root C:\Programs....
These projects partially contained recordings (demos, assessments...) of applications running on a Windows XP 64 computer.
Projects stored on E:\.....
All was OK
THEN:
I upgraded my OS to Windows 7 64 bit a couple of days ago.
D: and E: partitions were untouched by the new OS install.
Intalled CP5 on D:\..... not on default path C:\Programs...as I want to keep C: as clean as possible out of performance reasons.
All is OK except that:
- MINOR ISSUE: the projects on in the browser do not show assosiation to CP5 graphically as they used to in front of project name, this is the same for all other MasterSuite CS5 (also installed on D:...) applications too:
- MAJOR ISSUE: the demonstrations run properly but the results of action are graphically misplaced after generating the project:
Recording new demo projects on my system and generating them is OK
Can you please help to clarify and find solution so that my projects run properly.
Thanks in advance for your FAST help!!!!!
Stephanie

Hi there
My gut tells me it's not so much an issue with Captivate as it may be an issue with the new Windows 7 setup. You might try right-clicking the Windows 7 desktop and choosing Personalize. Then in the lower left corner of the dialog, choose Display. See if you are configured for 100% or if it's something different. If it's something different, try choosing 100% and see if it helps.
Cheers... Rick
