Weird - Now you see them, now you don't.

I was organizing and browsing an iPhoto library recently when something really weird happened.
The photos (a handful) of one roll were "open" and visible in the Library (view by Roll, sort by date) and then, all of the sudden, all the images in that roll disappeared. I wasn't even doing anything with them. The thumbnail images of the photos were replaced by some generic-looking placeholder graphic, outlined by a dotted-line-border. When I tried double-clicking on individual photos in this roll, I would get the same placeholder graphic, just larger.
Even weirder was the fact that, while scrolling through the various rolls in the Library, the thumbnails for that roll would occasionally pop into view (where they should be, in their roll's row) for a split-second, only to disappear. That would suggest the photos are "there" somewhere.
Any clues as to what's going on?

This sounds like your database has been corrupted.
Some things to try: Rebuild the database. Hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys and launch iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose the top three options.
If that doesn't work 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 Folder 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 film rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library Folder to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library Folder on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual rolls 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 Folder 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.

I thought Dreamweaver was what you see is what you get... How do I eliminate the "gap"?

Someone. Please. Help. Me.
In one of my websites www.acsmechanical.net, the images aren't lining up with the background I created. It looks perfect in Dreamweaver itself, but when I upload it or preview it in a browser there is a "gap". I'm thinking it has something to do with the image alignment or positioning. But I really don't know. It's driving me crazy but it may be something simple.
Thanks, Maria

Nope. DW is not what you see is what you get. Never base your design on what you see in the preview window.

Since the latest up date ,I have been getting numerous popup ads with no way to close them. How do you remove them now?

After an automatic update numerous floating adds have appeared and migrate to other web pages that I go to. I can find no way to either close them out or stop them from appearing. Before when you right clicked on the add an x close button would appear and you could close the add. Now nothing. How do you either stop them or close them once they appear?

hello, this may be a problem possibly caused by adware/malware on your pc. please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and do a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

Now i see 'em, now i don't?

i imported some photos and as I am scrolling i can see the but if I stop the
thumbnails disappear - replaced by an empty square - the image number is
still there too. if I click full screen all the photos appear at the top in
thumbnail version but will not appear in the large viewing area.
ugh . . can you advise?
Thank you"

Don't be afraid to try the rebuild again. If it fails though, you probably have a damaged datbase file:
Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. 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.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums back.
3. If neither of these work 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.

Process Flow errors - how do you see them

Hi there
Created and deployed a process flow but when run it either comes up with warnings or errors. Really simple process flow to run two mappings which, individually run fine. when run the process flow in Conrol Cenetr has error or warning symbol, click job details but can't see what the error, warning message is.
Any ideas how to see them - this is the first process flow I've created?
Many Thanks

Hi
You can either;
* use the repository browser and view the audit trail there (must start the browser listener first).
* use the OWB SQL Developer reports that use the public views on the exchange, the error details are recorded in the public views.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/warehouse/htdocs/Experts/owb_sqldeveloper.zip
I created these for a quicker turnaround time in building/debugging process flows. The browser is the official mechanism.
This is fixed in 10.2.0.3 - you will see the errors in the control center manager, where you might have expected them in the first place!
Cheers

Now you see it, now you don't

This is one of the worst kind of problems to solve. I used a
program that
had a setting to create an SWF file as output.
This is the code it created for me. It works fine on most pcs
but on others
nothing happens!
Its baffled me for 2 weeks and I have witnessed the error but
cant find a
local browser or security setting to fix it. The first thing
to check is if
auto settings have turned off shockwave flash files or
failing plugins.
However, this week I reinstalled vista from scratch on a
laptop with all
updates and plugins and on this laptop even I can not view it
with any
tested browser, it just shows a single black line. However as
said, it seems
to work on most other pcs. I wonder if someone can point me
in the right
direction.. I did find a google tip to simplify the code and
that fixed it
for one person, but even this simplified code does not show
the file on the
laptop
This is the (somtimes) erroring code created by the program I
used.

One other little problem. On my other pc it works until I
have been using
the pc for a while and then it constantly reloads at the
second or third
frame, restarting the pc flushes out memory and it fires into
life again,
works perfect then. However, other swf files continue to work
without
constantly reloading even when my pc is low on resources. So
any tip about
use of cache to aid performace would come in handy.
Any help greatly appreciated

Are you sure the version info is correct in the HTML you
posted? That
is, which version of the Flash Player did you publish the swf
to?
Your question might be better asked on a Flash forum - this
one is for
Director Shockwave, not Shockwave Flash

Is there any way to use Bridge/ Bridge Raw in order to simultaneously apply templates to multiple images? I can do individual jpgs opened in PS CS4, but not batched in Bridge. Am I applying DNG templates that are stripped once they go into .psd or .jpg?
When I see and ok a template name after using Shift+Opt+Cmd+i, and after clicking OK, it doesn't actually apply what is shown as the template. You have to click the template again in the list to apply it. Is there a workaround?
Not sure how many images I have sent out devoid of copyright protection because of this.

How about asking in the Bridge Forum?

Jdeveloper/Business Rules exception: Now you see it, now you don't

Hi all,
odd thing happened to me yesterday. I'm doing a business rules proof of concept and came across a 'MultipleDefinitionException' when running unit a test function. I fixed the xml used to define my facts (or so I thought) but the problem persisted. I spent the afternoon reloading facts/JaxB, rebuilding the application, adding and deleting and readding the offending statement in my function, but admitted defeat and shut down my PC in disgust.
I came in this morning and - Lo and behold! - the problem has disappeared! I can't even post you a stack trace. But I don't think that the error per se is the problem here.
Has anyone seen this behavior before? Am I missing something fundamental?
Using Jdev 11.1.1.5.0
Thanks,
Rory

Glenn,
Glad that worked in your version. You probably can turn the date imprint off in the various cameras for the future but healing or cloning is the only way I know to get rid of it once it's there.

Adobe Fangsong Standard ... now you see it, now you don't

By way of relaxation, I'm using our favourite software to produce a translation of a book about the harmonium. Now, the convention for indicating registration (which stops to use) for a standard French harmonium uses letters and numbers in circles: so I was pleased to discover that Adobe Fangsong Standard (which arrived when I installed FM 9.0) includes these, and also pleased to discover that with a bit of persistence FM 9.0 can be persuaded to display Unicode characters such as U2460.
All the more disappointing, then, to create a .pdf (Acrobat Pro Extended) from my first source-file and find that it just gives me a placeholder "crossed-out box". Any hints or tips on how to get these characters all the way from screen to paper will be welcome!

Thanks for the tip, Michael; I've checked, and now observe the following. AdobeFangsongStd-Regular.otf is indeed in the folder E:\adobeCS\Adobe FrameMaker 9\fminit\fonts\adobe [same drive as Acrobat] My Distiller font setting already included E:\adobeCS\Adobe FrameMaker 9\fminit; adding the full path to the sub-folder \fonts\adobe in the Distiller settings has not, alas, resolved the problem :-{ What should I try next?

/CFIDE/componentutils/cfcexplorer.cfc - now you see it, now you don't.

I'm trying to use this amazingly useful facility, by putting the url of my CFC into my browser and watching it redirect to a page describing the CFC's contents. Usually, I get asked to enter my RDS password, do so, and get the documentation.
"Sometimes", I get "File not found: /CFIDE/componentutils/cfcexplorer.cfc"
No, I can't define "sometimes" beyond "when I least want it to do this"
This is a development server, not set up by me, and for some reason I don't understand /CFIDE is mapped to somewhere odd (C:\webspace\applications\betaApp01\www\CFIDE, which is in the depths of another app.)
The files really are there as far as I can see, and it usually works. Only, sometimes, it doesn't
Any ideas what I need to look for that might produce this "sometimes"?
In case it matters:
Server Details
Server Product
ColdFusion
Version
9,0,0,251028
Edition
Enterprise
Operating System
Windows Server 2008
OS Version
6.1
Adobe Driver Version
4.0 (Build 0005

That's a very good suggestion, but no, I'm not using a different domain. I've got one url to my CFC folder saved, and I use it every time.
Indirectly, though, that leads me to another interesting symptom. "I could try out that localhost idea by remoting onto the server", I thought to myself. So I did, and found myself looking at the CFadmin session that I'd been successfully running at the same time as the cfcexplorer session on my own PC was failing.
http://127.0.0.1/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm
works, every time (touching wood, and with fingers crossed), and that's the same CFIDE (or should be)
Using a mapping for CFIDE is the default way CF is set up, the last few times I've installed it. I'd expect it to point at a slightly more normal place, though, like C:\inetpub\wwwroot\CFIDE (which exists)
I'm beginning to wonder if there's Something Odd (tm) down at the IIS level, and "sometimes" means "when someone else has been doing things to it".

Internet connection. Now you see it, now you don't, now you see it, now...

If I connect my G4 by cable to my D-Link ADSL2+ modem I have no problem in connecting to the internet.
If I connect both the modem and G4 by cable to my Airport Extreme 802.11n I have problems: Our MacBook connects to the resulting network for approx 60 seconds then a small window appears, example: 'IP Configuration. 88.107.203.224 in use by 00:1b:63:f1:21:d9, DCHP Server 192.168.1.1. OK' and the connection is dropped. I click OK and the window closes and connection is picked up again. 60 seconds later the window appears again, connection is dropped, I click OK, the window closes and connection is picked up again and so on, ad infinitum. And that's on a good day.
As the AE connection is dropped the G4 connection is dropped too. When it is connected Network Status in the Network Preference says, example: 'Built-in Ethernet is currently active and has the IP address 88.107.207.224. You are connected to the internet by built-in ethernet'. When it is not connected it says 'The cable for built-in Ethernet is connected but your computer does not have an IP address and cannot connect to the Ethernet'.
I have trawled though pages and pages of discussions regarding 'similar' problems and have found and tried umpteen 'solutions' all to no avail (if I tell you how long this has been going on for you won't believe me!). What have I missed, what am I doing wrong?

When I said that the modem is correctly connected when the problem occurs I did mean that it is connected to the AEBS WAN port.
Yes, I am certain that the modem is connected to the WAN port of the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS). It is shown clearly in the illustration on page 6 of the booklet Airport Extreme Setup Guide and is clearly marked on the product.
This is the most frustrating experience I've had in almost 20 years of using Macs - but I will overcome.
My new iMac arrives on Tuesday. This will have an appropriate Airport card fitted. Starting from scratch with it, and with the G4 out of the network, I should be able me to establish whether or not my Airport Extreme is functioning properly. I'll let you know how I get on.

Now you see it, Now you don't? Mystery unmounted drives require recovery.

My external Firewire 400 [seagate] drive is suddenly disappeared from the desktop after a reboot. When I go to use the Disk Utilities, it says it is an unformatted drive. I have "filesavage" and it sees the data but, ripping it does not save the file names nor dates of anything.
Is there any way to get the drive to re-recognized by OSX and remount. I know there is nothing wrong with the drive. I already tried Disk Utilities to re-mount. Not an option.
Please help.

WRT600N , USB Drive now you see it now you dont

hooked up my WD 1200 passport USB drive to my WRT600N. I could see it and i successfully completed a back up from my main machine to the drive. Pressed "safely disconnect drive" from the web UI and now when i reconnect the drive to the router it is no longer recognized. The drive works fine when i connect it directly to my PC but not the router. In addition i have tried several other USB devices including a SD card reader and even the SD card is recognized by the router. Any one have an idea of whats going on? Also I have flashed the router with the latest FW from the website.

if you have a cordles phone..check if it is giving out a 2.4 ghz signal output... if it does then i might be the one causing the issue... try connecting without the cordless phone then check if it works
if you dont have a cordless phone.. change the channel!
