VBA no longer loads an image

When I upgraded to Excel 2013 from 2003, the following code now gives me Run-time error 1004: Unable to get the Object property of the OLEObject class. The intent is to simply load a file image into an Image object in a spreadsheet. The Image objects exist,
the file exists, and code to alter their position, width, etc works fine. For some reason the .object.picture or even .object.autosize give this error after the upgrade.
Set ole = Config_Sheet.OLEObjects(myimage)
    With ole
        .Object.Picture = LoadPicture(image_filename)
    End With

There is nothing wrong with the code, it should work fine in Excel 2013 assuming the sheet and object are referenced as expected, and the filename exists.
Can you insert a new image control OK, is so try with the new object. If not, search your system for all MSForms.exd, delete all or rename say *.exd.old and try again. Might need to close and restart Excel.

Disk image no longer loading...

have a disc image on a ext. drive, whilst watching a video the firewire cable popped out and lost the connection to the ext. drive. Now when ever i try and load the image, the following message pops up...
'The following disk images failed to mount,
No mountable file systems.'
any suggestions on getting in back? have tried running 'repair' using the first aid facility on disc utility...

I really think you're out of luck.
There's one tiny chance I can think of... there used to be some 3rd party APP that allowed you to mount disk images without the checking of them, it really speeded up mounting them, but it's been to long to remember what it was.
Might try searching on MacUpdate or Version Tracker.
You can do this with Disk Utility. Open the preferences and look under the mounting tab for options. Don't forget to reset the preferences when you're done.
I believe that Data Rescue may be able to help if the image was neither compressed nor encrypted. The demo would tell you whether it could or not.

Loading an image from CameraRoll - how long should it take ?

Hi All
I'm loading an image from the CameraRoll using this method http://www.flashandmath.com/mobile/cameraroll/
Now on my iPad2 the image loads pretty instantaneously
However on my iPhone4 it takes approx 8 seconds for the image to load.
( The time is taken after calling loader.loadFilePromise waiting for Event.COMPLETE ... i.e. the image to load )
function onImgSelect(event:MediaEvent):void {
var promise:MediaPromise = event.data as MediaPromise;
removeBrowseListeners();
loader = new Loader();
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onImageLoaded);
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(ErrorEvent.ERROR, onError);
loader.loadFilePromise(promise);
The code base is the same. There are (at least) 2 differences :-
1) The hardware (iPad vs phone)
2) The number of images on the camera roll (approx 60 on iPad vs almost 900 on the phone)
Has anyone else noticed such a difference in speed between devices / number of files ?
Is there a better/quicker way to load an image from CameraRoll ?
Is 8 seconds normal/acceptable (I show a busy indicator)
Any help / suggestions/ observations most appreciated !

If you opted for the Secure Erase and the account has a lot of data in it, then it could take days to complete.

Long Load Times on Graphic Intensive Games

I'm experiencing some absurdly long load times (1-3 hours) with many games (SPORE, Portal, X:3, etc...) that I believe may be related to how graphically intensive they are. Older games with lower graphics quality (WoW, Civ 4, etc...) load up fine.
When I load any newer game the icon appears in the tray and the computer does nothing else for at least an hour, whereupon the program loads and begins playing immediately--often without any further delays or issues.
I also use Boot Camp to run Windows Vista (Ultimate 32) and experience no delays when running SPORE on Windows.

That's old info for the HDD space--I've purchased an external, so my main drive stays plenty free, now.

I have upgraded to Mountain Lion and have found that some of my software no longer works, notably Image Browser and also the Epson Scanner Perfection 3490 software. Is there a 'patch' or way to allow me to use these programmes especially the scanner.

I have upgraded to Mountain Lion and have found that some of my software no longer works, notably Image Browser and also the Epson Scanner Perfection 3490 software. Is there a 'patch' or way to allow me to use these programmes especially the scanner.

Apple discontinued support for PowerPC apps with Lion, I think, so you're out of luck there. No patch coming, unfortunately. Best to upgrade whatever old applications you have or, since it seems like you're using some relatively old software, scout around for replacements that give you the functionality you need.
Go to Apple menu > System Preferences > Print & Scan and select your scanner from the list--if it's not there you'll need to add it (start with the little plus icon). Once you have it in the list you can click on the Open Scanner button and a pretty barebones scanner driver will load for you. But Image Capture (as mentioned previously), found in your Applications folder, will probably do the job as adequately, or better, than your old scanner software.

Slow loading of images

When I go to a web page with lots of images (basically, all of them) Safari loads the text portion of the page promptly, then hangs up and waits and after an excruciatingly long time will give up and load question marks for all the images. If I reload the page the images immediately load properly. Sometimes I'll stop the loading process while it's hung up, and reload the page, and again all images appear fairly promptly. Anyone else having this problem? It helps to empty the cache and clear the history, but I can't do that every time I load an image heavy page. Any ideas?
iMac Mac OS X (10.3.4)

Hi Elaine,
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Two areas to check:
Safari Preferences>Appearance panel. Make sure the "image load" selection is checked. If not, do so, then try a page load again.
Otherwise, go to your System Preferences>Network>TCP panel. There, enter 4.2.2.1 and 4.2.2.2 (separate lines) in the DNS servers box. Then select "apply".
Restart Safari and try the page load again.
I notice your tag says 10.3.4. Is this correct? Latest version of OS X Panther is 10.3.9, which would give you an upgraded version of Safari (v 1.3.2). You can upgrade via Software Update in System Preferences. If you do this, do not use the computer during the upgrade process. After finished, make sure you "repair permissions" using Disk Utility>First Aid Panel ini your Utilities folder.

Pre-loading external images for XML-based gallery

I'm working-on an XML-based photo gallery here:
http://www.unionandparkwood.com/demo/flash_gallery/
It works how I want it, except that the first time a
thumbnail is clicked for an image, it pauses long enough to skip
the fade. If you click-through the images a second time, you'll see
that it works smoothly. My guess is that the first time the
thumbnail is clicked, the image isn't cached, yet.
I tried to fix this by creating a JavaScript file for the
page to pre-load each image and thumbnail:
0003a = new Image;
0003a.src = "images/Down-Range.jpg";
0003b = new Image;
0003b.src = "thumbnails/Down-Range.jpg";
But that didn't work. What would be the best way to do this?
I included a link to "Download ZIP" of the FLA project on
this page, too, because it wouldn't be easy for me to describe
what's happening. In a nutshell, a thumbnail click launches a
function that loads the appropriate image into the main image
holder. What seems to be happening the first time is the image
isn't loaded before the fade is finished, so the image just appears
after a short pause the first time.

>>What seems to be happening the first time is the
image isn't loaded before

As has been said many times in thos forum - use the
MovieClipLoader class to
load images, and then use that class' onLoadInit method to do
things with
the loaded image. Loading is asynchronous - you _have_ to
wait until the
image is done loading before doing a fade.

Loader won't load large images

I have some pretty large PNG images stored in a database (example 1000x15000 px, 4.5MB). I am trying to load this using the Loader class...the problem I am having is when I call load(), nothing happens. No events, no errors.
I can take the same image and embed it. As long as as I set the height to less than 8000px it works fine. If I convert the same image to a ByteArray, and try to load that byte array nothing happens.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hmm, so at this point I am just trying to load the image into memory and not display it. I don't really need to display it at full size. Are you saying that I can't even load the image at all?
I haven't tried stitching. It seems like a lot of effort and I was hoping I wouldn't have to do that. Additionally, the data is already stored as a single PNG file in the database so I don't know how I am going to break it up. I was hoping since I can display the embedded image at 8000px high I could do the same thing with the ByteArray.
Flash isn't even throwing an error so I can't even tell the user why the image isn't loading. Since the Loader won't load it I can't determine the image height.

Top Down Loading of Images

Hi, I have a series of images that I want to load from the
top down. My page has a 3 column table with a menu, a long series
of images, and a shorter series of images. Link--->
L=Travel-Tees.com]http://travel-tees.com/index.htm[/L] I'd like the
page to load all the images on the top of the page first so the
user doesn't have to wait for ALL the images to load from column 2
before column 3 starts to load. Can I paste some javascript in the
page to tell it to load top down, or do i have to fix the page
layout and tables somehow? Any help is appreicated...Thanks!

That's how images are fetched from the server - top down. But
the size
(weight in bytes) of the images determines how rapidly the
images are
transmitted to the client browser, and will definitely affect
the order in
which you see them appear on the page. So, unless the images
have been
preloaded on some *earlier* page, you will not be able to do
this in any
practical sense.

Load png image and save it

I am loading a png file and saving it again with following code. The newly created image file is smaller size and poorer quality. How can I retain size and quality of the image?
===========================================
File input = new File(imgFilePath+"img1.png");
BufferedImage im = ImageIO.read(input);
Graphics2D g = im.createGraphics();
File output = new File(imgFilePath+"out2.png");
ImageIO.write(im,"png",output);
===========================================

Would a moderator please change this topic back to not solved.
@Noel: I tried exactly what you said, copying the image to itself so the source and target would be the same size. It does not work. I do understand that you respond to many posts and can't actually try to reproduce every issue. However, in this case, if you did try it on the posted image you would see that the problem is as I described it.
@Acidiclnk: Thank you for reproducing the problem. Unfortunately, I checked your response as the correct answer, but now realize that it does not solve the problem. What you suggest shifts the position of the image from its as loaded position. Then, as you said, copied images do register with the original. The problem is, the shifted image no longer lines up with the other maps of my texture.
It took me awhile to find the commands you described, as they are a bit different in my CS4 ("Align Layers to Selection > Vertical Centers", etc). When I tried them, the pasted image was correctly registered with the original. Unfortunately, as I mentioned, the image is no longer aligned with the other maps of the texture.
For this particular case, since there were large, uniform areas in the image, I temporarily added fiducial marks to the problem image and one of the other maps. Then, after copy/paste, I moved the shifted copy until it's fiducial was aligned with the other map, then removed the fiducals. (I could not use MTSTUNER's Duplicate Layer suggestion, since duplicating it to a new image created a new image with the same problem as the original).
To summarize: PhotoShop loads this image in one position, but aligning the centers or copy/paste moves it to another position. I would be happy to know why this is so. I did verfy that it's unique to PhotoShop as copy/paste works without the shift in another graphic editor. Any insights would be welcome.

Long Loadtime of Image (internet) Previews

Ok, so I had a WRT150N router on the third floor of my house and the Apple TV on the first floor of the house and everything was going fine. The thing I noticed was the instant loading of the previews of iTunes top movies, top music, trailers, etc. Now, I just bought an Airport Extreme Base Station with firmware 7.2.1 at the same place where my old router was. The thing I'm noticing now is it takes a lot longer to load top music, movies, tv shows, youtube previews, etc on my Apple TV. The signal strength that appears on the Apple TV is either 4 or 5 bars (fluxuates), this was also the case with the Linksys router. I tried power-cycling my cable modem and the Airport Extreme Base Station. Does anyone think that this might have something to do with either the Airport Extreme or Apple TV or the position of the two devices? Is anyone having longer load times of image previews of youtube, top music, top movies, etc?

After disabling the printer sharing service on the Airport Extreme Base Station and plugging my Powerbook directly up to the Airport Extreme Base station, I've noticed the sluggish load time of image previews of iTunes top movies, music, tv shows, etc or significantly faster if not at normal load times. Could the printer sharing feature or the shared HD feature slow down the performance of the network? (This may be more of an Airport BS question than an Apple TV one)

Applet loading of images -- network or JAR approach faster?

hi all,
i'm stumped. my applet used to load images over the network. (it was actually designed by someone else.) yes, the applet used to load each image file independently over the network and incurred a network hit per image file.
to avoid the overhead of a separate network connection for each image file, i bundled all the images into the same JAR file that contains the applet. yet, the loading time for the applet is somehow slower now. i'm totally mystified.
i put the code for loading each image into a separate thread as well. here's the thread code:
BEGIN CODE
public class ImageLoaderThread extends Thread {
     private Hashtable images;
     private DesignApplet applet;
     public ImageLoaderThread(DesignApplet applet, Hashtable images, String imageFile) {
          super(imageFile);
          this.images = images;
          this.applet = applet;
     public void run() {
          try {
               System.out.println("Starting to load image ...");
               String imageFile = getName();
               InputStream is = applet.getClass().getResourceAsStream(imageFile);
               int arraySize = is.available() * 2; // CH: create extra space just in case
               System.out.println("Image Loader Thread: " + imageFile + "bytes available: " + arraySize);
               BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(is);
               byte[] byBuf = new byte[arraySize]; // a buffer large enough for our image
               int byteRead = bis.read(byBuf, 0, arraySize);
               Image buttonImage = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(byBuf);
               images.put(imageFile, buttonImage);
          catch(Exception e) {
               System.out.println("Exception while loading: " + getName());
               e.printStackTrace();
END CODE
imageFile is the name of an image file stored in the JAR file. it's not stored on the server anywhere, so i know the image is getting created from the JAR file. despite this, the speed of image creation seems tied to the network. in other words, when i attempt to load the applet over a slow link, it takes longer to load than over a fast link.
any ideas what i'm doing wrong? i'm seriously stumped and could use help. my goals are to minimize loading time of the applet while minimizing network hits for the server.
thanks!
p.s. if you want to play w/ the applet, click on the following link and click the "Customize" button: http://www.cengraving.com/s/z/Photo-plaques/PP024.jsp

Why are you using a thread to load each image why not just load the images in the gui thread?
Each thread you create takes a finite time to be started and stopped. This will surely have added to the load and startup time.
There is also blocking going on since using the Java Console I can see that each thread reports in sequence:
"Starting to load image ..."
And then after all threads have reported they are starting they then report in squence:
Image Loader Thread: " + imageFile + "bytes available: " + arraySize information.
This shows that there is at least some blocking going on with the threads.
I don't think using separate threads to do the loading is helping at all. Just load them one after another in the same thread (the thread all your threads are being started from).
The putting of the images into the images Hashtable will also be blocking since Hashtable is synchronized.

Poor performance when dragging item within a list loaded with images - Flex 4

Hi,
I have a custom built List component that is using a TileLayout. I am using a custom itemRenderer to load images into this list from our server (in this test, 44 images rae loaded). I have enabled dragEnabled and dragMove so that I can move items around within the list. The problem comes when I start dragging an item. The dragging operation is very slow and clunky.
When I move the mouse to drag the item, the dropIndicator does not get refreshed for a few seconds and the movement feels like my PC is lagging pretty badly. I've also noticed that during this time my CPU usage is spiking up to around 25-40%. The funny part is I can scroll the list just fine without any lag at all, but the minute I drag the application starts to lag really bad. I do have some custom dragOver code that I used to override the dragOverHandler of the list control, but the problem persists even if I take that code out. I've tried with useVirtualLayout set to both true and false and neither setting made a difference.
Any ideas as to what could be causing the poor performance and/or how I can go abouts fixing it?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Ahh, good call about the Performance profiler. I'm pretty new to the profiling thing with Flex (haven't used Builder Pro before
the Flex 4 beta) so please forgive me
I found some interesting things running the performance profiler but I'm not sure I understand what to make of it all. I cleared the Performance Profile data when right before I loaded the images into the list. I then moved some images around and then captured the Profiling Data (If I understand Adobe correctly, this is the correct way to capture performance information for a set of actions).
What I found is there is a [mouseEvent] item that took 3101ms with 1 "Calls" (!!!!). When I drill down into that item to see the Method Statistics, I actually see three different Callees and no callers. The sum of the time it took the Callees to execute does not even come close to adding up to the 3101 ms (about 40ms). I'm not sure what I can make of those numbers, or if they are even meaningful. Any insight into these?
The only other items that stand out to me are [pre-render] which has 863ms (Cumulative Time) / 639ms (Self Time), [enterFrameEvent] which has 746ms / 6ms (?!), and [tincan] (what the heck is tincan?) which has times of 521ms for both Cumulative and Self.
Can anyone offer some insight into these numbers and maybe make some more suggestions for me? I apologize for my ignorance on these numbers - as I said, I'm new to the whole Flex profiling thing.
Many thanks in advance!
Edit: I just did another check, this time profiling only from the start of my drag to the end of my drop, and I still see [mouseEvent] taking almost 1000ms of Cumulative Time. However, when I double click that item to see the Method Statistics, no Callers or Callees are listed. What's causing this [mouseEvent] and how come it's taking so long?

I import 1:1 previews, and I still get long "loading..." delays.

I import 1:1 previews, and I still get long "loading..." delays. Mac OSX.4.11 LR 2 G5 2.5
Even after I have just been to an image, this happens. Especially at 1:1.
Thanks for opinions.

Where do you see it? If it is going into Develop, you will always see that, as Develop does not use prerendered previews, but always renders from the RAW file. The 1:1 previews are used in Library where their presence should speed up browsing. If you see "loading from previews" often while browsing in the Library, it means your harddisk is not keeping up. It might actually help then to use lower-res previews.
