TICKET ARCHIVE -> Image Capture

g3t - Sep 8, 2005 - 10:34 pm

I,M still have problem with that issue about Safari missing images on Apple site or even Apple email for news ..miss the images.
But by passing an web page hack it is come all ok....weird. !
But for now i want to know if you could help me for that issue : i want to take off the shadows of all window in any applications.
Some one told me that it is poss. to do it in the terminal by a kind of Script or something ealse....
It would help me in process photos in PS CS.
They says that it take double ram place like 20 mo. for a photo and double it for the back shadows one = 40 mo. it is that true ? And if you could tell me if i could delete it ?

Gerry,

open Terminal. For the Dock you can type

defaults delete com.apple.dock showshadow;killall Dock

and hit the return key.

Gerry,

as the message says:

There is no (showshadow) default for the (com.apple.dock) domain.
Defaults have not been changed.

This means the shadow is turned off already. If you want to turn the shadow on you need the command:

defaults write com.apple.dock showshadow -boolean true;killall Dock

You might not be able to see the effects on all desktop backgrounds, but if you choose a white background for your desktop (from the System Preferences' "Desktop & Screen Saver" preference pane) turning shadow off and on should be quite visible.

Thank for that view Allan,
... and i have another prob. about the panel of the screensavers and the image of the background i cann't change it , every time i try .it close after a few seconds ( 3 sec. ) and tell me to send to Apple the BUG. ...Is there something i can do about it to restore it ?
Thank for your help. :-)

tubajensen - Sep 12, 2005 - 5:17 am

Gerry,

first try and repair your disk permissions. To do this open Disk Utility (found in /Applications/Utilities) and highlight the drive or partition where your system software is installed. Then click on the "Repair Disk Permissions" button. Restart your computer and see if this solved the problem. If not please write again.

Allan

g3t - Sep 12, 2005 - 8:32 pm

hi, I did that without boot by CD and nothing change ...still the same prob.!

tubajensen - Sep 13, 2005 - 4:55 pm

Try to drag the following files and folders to the Trash:

/System/Library/Extensions.mkext and /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache

/System/Library/Caches/com.apple.kernelcaches

/Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS

and all the files in /Library/Caches whoose names begin with com.apple.LaunchServices

Then restart your computer. If files on your desktop don't show up correctly try and log out and login again.

Allan

g3t - Sep 13, 2005 - 5:30 pm

hi Allan,
I try all what you says. nothing change after the restart ...
One thing do i hav to trash the preffs. of those files /extentions ?
Thank again to help me about that. :-)

tubajensen - Sep 13, 2005 - 6:05 pm

Empty the files dragged to the Trash. Then restart. Any difference?

-------
Allan

g3t - Sep 13, 2005 - 7:18 pm

i did all that but not the preffs. of some extentions you say ( 2 ) .
And i hav nothing in library : and all the files in /Library/Caches whoose names begin with com.apple.LaunchServices.
ànothing at all.
What can i do now ? :-)

tubajensen - Sep 14, 2005 - 7:41 am

Gerry,

I have no more suggestions other than to reopen your question for someone else to look at. Please tell me if you want that. One last word though. In your case I would back up my data (at least the home folder and maybe /Library and /System also) and reinstall the system software.

-------
Allan

g3t - Sep 14, 2005 - 5:55 pm

HI,
I try something that somebody told me : Make a new account and with that every thing is alright on the dock ...i could to things on screensaver and ealse. :-)
But could i transfert easyly my account on that nwe account ?...without making a mess of it ?

tubajensen - Sep 14, 2005 - 6:26 pm

Gerry,

I think you would have problems with privileges. You could maybe somehow transfer things from the old account to the new one via the "Shared" folder found in /Users.
The question is: is this much less work than a backup and reinstall? Please judge for yourself.

-------
Allan

g3t - Sep 18, 2005 - 6:55 pm

Hi Allan, it is working with new user account but in shared folder in Users what is the way to transfert thing to take that account ..?
It is easy or very complicated ?
BTW i found the soft for making my G3 faster by killing the shadows/windows ...and it is work very well. :-) it is call : shadowkiller 12.
at that URL : h**p://www.unsanity.com/products/free
for your info and it's free :-)

tubajensen - Sep 19, 2005 - 5:32 am

Gerry,

thanks for the link. It really does speed things up a bit. Doesn't look very pretty though.
I suppose you could login to your "old" account (called gerardgill or something?) and then drag important stuff like Documents, Pictures, Music, Movies and Library into the Shared folder. Then log out and login to your "new" account (name?) and get the things you need from the Shared folder. For your information: the Shared folder is available to all users. If you don't follow the procedure above I suggest you backup your Documents, Pictures, Music, Movies and Library before you reinstall. You might need things from there on your new system.

Hi Allan,
I will let it like that for now with that problem with the Apple site problem.! i don't mind now , i hav something ealse to do more important.
See you . :-)

g3t - Nov 25, 2006 - 10:39 am

Hi Allan,
Long time having not prob...
But there is one that i could not correct it my self..
It is about log-in at your site from a new Mac with the same info as usual .
It always say : thank you for log-in and nothing to do after coming back to the log-in window as i did not log-in !!!!
What can i do for making correcting my new Mac ?
:-)

Cheryl - Nov 25, 2006 - 11:24 am

Gerry,

I am not sure what you are trying to explain about logging into our web site. Do you mean that it shows you automatically logged in (you did not log in but it recognizes you) ? Or is the problem something else?

Cheryl

g3t - Nov 26, 2006 - 9:07 am

it is for Log-in with my name/password for your site on a new Mac G4 i have ...but it does not let me has a member like on my G3.
i hav the same email for both Macs but it is always say that i cann't register with my G4 because the emmail is already in use !!!!!
So what can i do to make it working on both with the same email ?
Thank in advance

Cheryl - Nov 26, 2006 - 10:14 am

Gerry,

You do not register computers, just you as a person. You should be able to log in using your user name and password.

On the new G4:
First, go to Safari's preferences and select Security. In the section that says Accept Cookies, select only from sites you navigate to.
Now click on the show cookies button.
A new window will appear.
scroll down and click on the file that has macosx.com or .macosx.com and then click on the Remove button.
Do this to all the files with macosx.com
Click on the done button and close Safari's preference window.

Next, go to the Safari Menu and select Empty Cache
A new window will appear asking if you are sure. Just click on the Empty button. (Make sure you select Empty Cache and not Reset).

Now give macosx.com a try and see if it will allow you to log in. Remember your password is case sensitive.

Keep me posted on how you do.

Cheryl

g3t - Nov 26, 2006 - 10:44 am

HI Cheryl,
It is working now , cool.. :-))))

Can i reinstall only the appl. from the receipts or ...?

Cheryl - Nov 26, 2006 - 12:04 pm

Gerry,

Image Capture is used when you connect a digital camera to your computer.

Let me see if I understand you correctly. You want to transfer a picture from a web site to your digital camera. Could it be that on your G3 you are using iPhoto?

Cheryl

g3t - Nov 26, 2006 - 12:53 pm

Not exactly,
I'm french user so my words in english some times it is not correspond of what i meanning.
So the thing is : the poss. to take a picture in the CaptureImage web link, like by default the link adress is 192.168.0.100:5100 in the preff. Share set-up window, when the digital camera is plug at that Mac. it could be my G3 or from outsite the home.
Is there a way that i could send to you a screen shot of the icon and so ?

Cheryl - Nov 26, 2006 - 2:54 pm

Gerry,

I think I understand what you want to do. You want to connect a camera on one machine and share the images on the camera to another computer.

If your computer is connected over a local network to any other computers using Mac OS X version 10.3 or later, you can share your digital cameras and scanners. The other computers must be on the same subnet as your computer. This means they are connected as local network - say your G4 and G3 connected to an ethernet router. Your modem connected to the router. Both machines can connect to the internet and you can share files.

Connect a digital camera or scanner to your computer and turn it on.
Choose Image Capture > Preferences, and click Sharing.
Select "Share my devices," and then select the device or devices you want to share.
If you like, type a name for your device (one is provided by default) and set a password.

You can also share the images on your camera over the web.

Connect a digital camera and turn it on.
Choose Image Capture > Preferences, and click Sharing.
Select "Share my devices," select the devices to share, and select Enable Web Sharing.
A URL appears under Enable Web Sharing. When you enter this URL into any browser, a webpage appears and displays the images on your shared devices.

If the computer is not on your subnet, or if you don't want to use Safari, you must get the web address of the computer sharing the images. On the computer that's connected to the camera or scanner, open Image Capture and choose Image Capture > Preferences. Then click Sharing. The web address appears under the Enable Web Sharing checkbox. Type the address into the address field of the web browser you're using to view the images. You would need to tell the person on the other computer of the URL for them to see the images you are sharing.

I hope this helps you.

Cheryl

g3t - Nov 26, 2006 - 3:46 pm

Hi Cheryl,
You gave me very good helps about Image Capture, thank.
Another question...
And so why it is diff. software between 10.3 and 10.4 about Image Capture ?
There is diff. options for the main bar icons for personalize.
On the 10.3 you have the camera option to take picture and on the 10.4 you don't have the same poss. of choice.
:-)

Cheryl - Nov 26, 2006 - 4:05 pm

Gerry,

10.3 and 10.4 are different OS versions. Even if they do look the same, the inside workings of each of them are different.
I think that when the developers optimized or gave one part of the OS more features, they had to change another part for the change to work.

Since I am not a code writer or developer I am only guessing.

Cheryl

g3t - Nov 26, 2006 - 4:19 pm

Ok i understand .
One thing a know by using it is that about the selections of images , we couldn't now select some pictures to u/p by holding Command key and select those we want like we use to do ...cause it select all of them and we have to click again on those we do not want instead of by always still holding command key :-( Weird new options !!!
Thank Cheryl for your help.

Cheryl - Nov 27, 2006 - 12:57 am

Gerry,

You are welcome. I will now close this ticket. If you have another question or problem in the future, just open a new question.
