    1. Use these DNS: Google and Verizon DNS
    Primary DNS = 8.8.8.8 Secondary DNS = 4.2.2.1
    2. Then apply these instructions:
    Windows XP
    On the Start menu, click Run.
    In the Open field type cmd and click OK.
    In the resulting window, type ipconfig /flushdns and press Return(Enter) on the keyboard.
    You should see a message that the DNS Resolver Cache has been successfully flushed.
    Windows Vista and Windows 7
    On the Start menu, point to All Programs > Accessories and then right-click Command Prompt and choose Run as Administrator from the shortcut menu. If Windows needs your permission to continue, click Continue.
    In the resulting window, type ipconfig /flushdns and press Return(Enter) on the keyboard.

  • Why are previews in Bridge blurry (not rendering properly)?

    Why are previews in Bridge blurry (not rendering properly)?
    I found a simple answer to this question: control click on the thumbnail and select "purge cache for selection"
    After years of intermittently having this problem, this solved the issue. I had just finished a fresh install of main sys hd (new hd) and first time opening bridge encountered this issue again after not having the problem for a few years.
    Hope this helps others.

  • Hi why are my photos after downloading twice ,once in photo library and once in a file with the date why cant i delete a file its an iphone 4s please help

    why are my photos after downloadon twice one as photo library the other as a file with date how can i delete one file same pics

    Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
    It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
    1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
    2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
    I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
    I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
    Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
    If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
    If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
    1. Right click images you want to share.
    2. Select Export version.
    3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
    4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
    This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
    See how you go.

  • Ram Preview - Stopping after 40 frames

    Hi All,
    I've recently moved to After effects CC on my home computer, and for some reason whenever I try and RAM preview it stops after 40 frames or so...
    The animation is REALLY basic (full screen shape layers turning on and off to the music) and an mp3 file playing in the background.
    My computer spec is:
    21.5-inch iMac Mid 2011
    OSX 10.8.5
    2.8 Ghz Intel Core i7
    16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MB
    I have the following multiprocessing prefs:
    I would greatly appreciate any help on the matter... the project seems far too basic for it to be having genuine issues with playback...
    Dan

    Hi Rick,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I've changed the .mp3 file to a .wav file and that seemed to fix everything, for the time being...
    It previewed for 10 seconds fine, but after about 15mins of working on this the RAM preview area has started to shrink again and it's only previewing just over half (5 seconds).
    I changed my memory and allocated 4GB to other apps, also turning off rendering multiple frames... (by the way for some reason I can't get my 'actual cpu's that will be used' to change from 0? This seemed odd). Still no change.
    I've attached a screenshot of my comp details below, along with a shot of my screen when RAM previewing... (you can see the green bar does not go all the way). I'm not working with ANY footage which is why this is most peculiar, just the wav file so I can edit to the beat.
    Once again if there is anything else you can think of...

  • Why does preview stop playing a track?

  • Why Does Movie Stops After First Clip?

    I created an iMovie from about 20 clips but once saved the movie stops after the first clip. How do I get it to run full length without having to insert Transitions?

    BlueMovie,
    It sounds like you only have the first clip selected (highlighted in blue).
    Click somewhere above the timeline so that no clips are selected. Now your movie should play in its entirety.

  • Why are curves "inverted" after ACR grayscale conversion?

    I have Photoshop CS5 version 12.0.1.  If I make a grayscale conversion in Adobe Camera Raw and then open the image into Photoshop and add a curves adjustment layer, the curve is the "wrong" way round with the white point being on the left of the curves graph while the black point is on the right. However if I add a levels adjustment layer, the levels graph is as it usually is with the black point to the left and the white point to he right.
    If I open the image from ACR in color without making a grayscale conversion, the curves layer is also as expected - black point to left and white point to right.  Can anyone explain why it is inverted after a grayscale conversion in ACR?
    Thanks

    It's a good question; the default for grayscale images appears to be Pigment/Ink% instead of Light, leading to the "reversal" you describe.
    The good news is that the default is separate for black and white and color images, and sticky, so you can change it around by doing this:
    1.  Click the little menu button at the upper right of the Adjustments panel and choose Curves Display Options.
    2.  Change the Show Amount of: setting from Pigment/Ink % to Light (0-255).
    Hope this helps.

  • Previews stop after 9 Seconds

    Hi,
    This problem has only appeared on my new iMac
    When I preview a song it stops playing after just 9 seconds, if I preview again then click past the 9 seconds it continues to play, but I cannot hear the whole thing.
    It is not my net connection (i have 8mb) and I already tried selecting buffer whole song in advance and that doesn't work, all my software is upto date.
    Any Ideas?
    Thanks

    The following post from wunbadapple fixed my preview issue. May want to try it.
    Re: itunes store song previews now less than 10 seconds
    created by wunbadapple in iTunes for Windows - View the full discussion
    Well I think I fixed it, but with Apple you can never be sure. Just previewed 5 songs and all previewed ok. I reviewed the thread above and some other related threads and all seemed to reference DNS at some point. So I changed my DNs provider in Windows
    Network connections->properties->IPV4->properties-> Primary DNS = 8.8.8.8 and secondary DNS = 4.2.2.1 .
    Primary is the Google DNS server, secondary is the old old old VZ DNS (used to be GTE I think). My default was Verizon's Fios DNS. 8.8.4.4 and 4.2.2.2 are other google and VZ servers if you want the same provider for primary and secondary. I split them in case one has issues.
    Then DOS CMD: ipconfig /flushdns
    This seemed to resolve the issue, but can't be sure something in Apple servers, etc didn't change. I am wondering if there is something evil in the iTunes Store VZ FIOS DNS interaction, but can't be sure. At least worth a shot if you still have the issue. Ironic the google DNS servers fixed an issue with Apple.

  • Why are previews in Adobe RGB (1998) ?

    In experimenting with emailing previews from Aperture I noticed they were washed out when displayed on the Windows PC that received them.
    I dragged a preview to the Mac desktop and choose “get info” to see that the Profile Name is Adobe RGB (1998)
    If I export (using the export function) the same file it’s profile name is sRGB Profile.
    Why is this, and is there anyway to have previews use the sRGB Profile?

    First - Yes, if you view a photo saved in the Adobe RGB color space and open it in a program (or computer) that is expecting a photo in the sRGB color space, the colors will looked washed out or pastel and not show the vibrant colors you original intended.
    Adobe RGB is most commonly used by professionals submitting to publications. Unless your client says otherwise, I would submit your photos to them in the Adobe RGB color space.
    Corbis, for example, asks their photographers to use the Adobe RGB color space because that's what most of their clients ask for.
    I use sRGB for my family photos, emailing photos to friends, and the web.
    Second - If I understand your question right,
    You can set your email export preset in Aperture's preference window. From there you set your file format, size, compression, AND your color space.

  • Why are contacts stopped backing up ?

    I backed-up my contact on my Iphone to both Gmail and Icloud. Contacts are already seen in Icloud and Gmail. Now, when I open contact on the phone, there is an Icon "Group" in the top left corner. And when I open this Icon, this shows that my contacts are backed up in both Gmail and Icloud. Then I can choose contacts in which back-up are displayed in contact list. I also set the back up to icloud automatically.
    However, my problem is when I create a new contact, it could not be backed-up to both Gmail and Icloud. I also realize that the pattern of the backed up contacts and the new added contact is something different. If I open one backed - up contact from the contact list, it show linked contact in in 2 bottom line as follows:
      Linked contacts:
    - Icloud: xxx (name of contact)
    - CardDAV: yyy (name of contact)
    But in the case of new added contact, linked contacts are not shown as above.
    My question is: why is new added contact not backed up ? Pls help

    Since a few days I have exactly the same problem.
    "Time Machine stopped backing up the application, library, private and system folders and only back up the users folder."
    I did all the checks without success. Thereafter I deleted the backup disk and started a new copy on a new formatted disk.
    Same result.

  • Why are previews different in CS3 and CS6

    I can't see a separation between process colors and the black on pdfs in CS6. The black plate appears to be printing on all 4 plates. In CS3, the black doesn't appear on all plates. We're using OS 10.8.
    CS3 is the first image; CS6 is the second image

    The 2 samples I originally attached show the difference between Output Preview in Acrobat 8 and Acrobat 11. Acrobat 8 shows how the image prints - nothing but black on the horse image. Acrobat 11 is not how our image prints. Here is the sample in a smaller size. Of course, we're working with pdfs, not jpgs.

  • Expanded node and children are seen only after second expansion

    Hi,
    I am using a simple JTree control. I am populating children of nodes dynamically when the node is expanded. For this, I first add a "dummy" item for each node under the root, so that the "+" sign appears next to the node. When a node is expanded, I delete the "dummy" node and add children to it. However, the first time I expand the node, the node actually doesn't expand, though treeExpanded() gets called and all children are added correctly (I verified by debugging). When I expand the tree the second time, I can see the expanded node.
    I am using TreeModel's removeNodeFromParent(childNode) and insertNodeInto(childNode, parentNode, childIndex) method to remove and add children respectively.I believe we don't have to explicitly call TreeModel's nodeChanged(), nodesWereInserted() etc?
    Could you please let me know if I am missing something fundamental here?
    Thanks in advance,
    Praneeth
