3 Questions: Docking Panels, Find doesn't work

Hello, I am relatively new to Prelude and I have three questions.
-First for some reason I no longer can move the panels to other positions and lock them in. That little hot spot tab is missing ??
-Secondly, The finder in the project panels isn't finding anything I enter (names of clips, subclass, comments. What am I doing wrong?
-Thirdly the Marker Type panel used to show five types of markers and now is only showing three (Subclip, Comment, and Speech Transcription.).
I have tried resetting the workspace, close and reopen the application and even reboot my computer.. Nothing helps.
I am currently using the latest version .. Prelude cc 2014.
I am on a mid 2010 iMac with OS X Yesomite..
Thanks
Ken

It works the same way. Just drag the main tab to a new location. You'll see the familiar "purple shapes."

Not sure. Seems to work OK for me. Try ingestion different media from another folder.

There were some pretty big changes there all related to custom tagging. See these resources:

Hope that helps.
Thanks,

2. Select Finder
3. Click on re-start
Then according to the above link, several people tried different things.
Try out what you find in above thread

Finder doesn`t work!

Hey,
first of all, sorry for my english...
I`ve got a problem: the finder doesn`t work! after every start and sleepingphase it takes a lot of time to work fluently. i use leopard, did already the pram-reset, watched out in the activity-display, but i could not find anything. Please help me
thx,

The Finder uses Spotlight for searches - a corrupt database can cause problems.
A couple of websites you can check for troubleshooting ideas:

Panel.setPreferredSize() doesn't work

I have a internal frame. In this internal frame, I need to dynamic generate panels and put labels data in each panel.
The panels and labels are generate correctly, but panel.setPreferredSize() doesn't work.
I hope each panel can have the same width. can someone take a look for me? Thanks a lot~~
Here is my code. When the internal frame is initialized, it will call addPanel() function.
public void addPanel(int[][] cluster, String[] labels, String[][] searchResult){
         JPanel mainPanel = new JPanel();
         mainPanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(mainPanel, BoxLayout.PAGE_AXIS));
        mainPanel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(5,5,5,5));
         //panel for clusters
         JPanel[] clusterPanel = new JPanel[cluster.length];
         docsLabel = new JLabel[searchResult[3].length];
         int docIndex, docsLabelIndex=0;
         for(int i=0;i<cluster.length;i++){
              //set up border for cluster panel
              clusterPanel=new JPanel();
               clusterPanel[i].setBorder(BorderFactory.createCompoundBorder(
BorderFactory.createTitledBorder(labels[i]),
BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(3,3,3,3)));
               clusterPanel[i].setLayout(new BoxLayout(clusterPanel[i],BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
          for(int j=0;j<cluster[i].length;j++){
               docIndex=cluster[i][j];
               labelsIndex[docIndex]=docsLabelIndex;
               docsLabel[docsLabelIndex]= new JLabel(url[docIndex]);
               docsLabel[docsLabelIndex].setToolTipText(searchResult[3][docIndex]);
               docsLabel[docsLabelIndex].setHorizontalTextPosition(JLabel.LEFT);
               docsLabel[docsLabelIndex].setOpaque(true);
               docsLabel[docsLabelIndex].addMouseListener(this);
               clusterPanel[i].add(docsLabel[docsLabelIndex]);
               clusterPanel[i].addMouseListener(this);
               clusterPanel[i].setName(Integer.toString(i));
               docsLabelIndex++;
               clusterPanel[i].setPreferredSize(new Dimension(200, 50)); ----------------->this doesn't work
          clusterPanel[i].setOpaque(true);
               mainPanel.setOpaque(true);
               mainPanel.add(clusterPanel[i]);
     ScrollPane sp = new ScrollPane(ScrollPane.SCROLLBARS_AS_NEEDED);
          sp.setBounds(2,2,2,2);
          sp.setVisible(true);
          sp.add(mainPanel);
     this.add(sp);

are you sure that the panels are the ones that are the wrong size? Maybe the contents of the panels sizes only make it look that way. Try setting different types of components to have different background colors to see what's what.
Keep in mind that preferred size only specifies the preferred size. It doesn't mean that a layout manager has to respect that. Although, I would expect BoxLayout to do so.

My Dock or Expose doesn't work on my MacBook Pro...

Hello,
I've been having issues with my MacBook Pro and I need some help immediately.
The current issues are:
- My Dock doesn't show up on desktop
- My Expose doesn't work
- When I tried to minimise opened page it freezes at weird shape (I can still force quit the programme)
- Some function of searching in finder is behaving funny
What I can think of I've done wrong in past hours:
- I tried to install Winebottler as I wanted to open Windows.exe file for my work
- I did install them and opened them, from Winebottoler I tried to install 'Windows Media Player 10'
- It automatically started to installing but during that computer started to behave funny
- So I tried to uninstall Wine and Winebottler from Application, deleted them and empty the trash
- Still having the same issues so I went Application folder to see if there's any Windows related app left that I just installed.
- When I scroll down to the bottom, the finder closes it self off and reopen Application folder!
- Also when I try to search 'windows media player' on the finder it closes itself and it doesn't let me serach it.
Is this some kind of bug? I thought Mac wouldn't get virus but maybe I was wrong.
Tried to turn the computer on and off again, or restart, or relaunch the finder, it just doesn't work.
I need to fix this ASAP so please give me any solutions if you think of any.
Thank you!

What about holding down the shift key? What about holding down the c key and booting to the OS installer disk?

ThinkPad USB 3.0 Dock - Firmware update doesn't work

Hello,
My company has bought over 200 ThinkPad USB 3.0 Docks to use with HP Folios to connect dual and single monitors. Some users have experience multiple issues with this product and I am trying to determine how to resolve these issues. I first want to update the firmware that is located here: http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/guides-and-manuals/detail.page?DocID=UM014961
ThinkPad USB 3.0 Dock - Firmware Update - Lenovo Docking FW Update Tool V1.0
I have the USB 3.0 dock connected to the 3.0 USB port on the Folio. The unit I am testing seems to be working fine as I have dual monitors up, external keyboard and mouse are working.
I ran the .exe, a command window comes up, and it attempted to look for the device. The text is as shown:
1. Initialzation<> Success
Start Search HUB
!!!No device found!
Press any key to continue . . .
This has been tried on several devices and it simply does not work. Does anybody have any suggestions? I have contacted support which was a complete waste of time because they have no idea what I am talking about.

I'm going to return my dock if possible. My main problem is that I cannot view Vmware virtual machine which is required for work. 2nd I can't view photos on my dual screens, it just hangs saying "Loading...", but I can view them on my W520 LCD Display. 3rd, I can't view a downloaded video, as in an .mp4. I disabled the hardware acceleration in Firefox, so I can see streaming video.
I have a Thinkpad W520 and an X1 Carbon and both exhibit the same problems with the dock.
I tried upgrading the DisplayLink Drivers to the 7.x version and that created a slew of problems. The Dock firmware driver link in the OP doesn't work either. As mentioned it couldn't find the device. Uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling the stock one cause lots of problems with my W520. The dock would try to connect but it kept connecting and disconnecting and the cycle would continue infinitly. It wasn't until I did a system restore that I could get it working again to where I can use the dock again.
I am extremely dissapointed with this dock.

Finder Doesn't Work At All!

Hello.
I have a Mac Pro (10.8.2). My finder isn't working at all. I click the icon on the dock, I click Command+N or even from the menu bar. It doesn't open at all. I can't even access the Library folder to delete the plst files.
I tried to login as a guest user, and it was working like a charm!
So could this be related to a third party application or something?

It could be.
Hold shift and boot the system. Keep shift held until you see the apple, gear, and a progress bar. Then, let it boot up. This will take you into safe mode, where login items are disabled. If everything works fine here, you can go to system preferences >> users and groups >> unlocked the lock in lower left >> click login items in the upper right-ish area. You could try removing any login items there.
Before you do that, though, if it does boot fine into safe mode and works there, you should be able to try removing the plist instead. In case you don't know, click the go menu >> hold option >> click library >> go to preference folder. You could remove the finder plist there, and may want to consider removing the sidebar plist along with desktop plist.

Another BUG in Acrobat 9.4.5 -- Find doesn't work

I made the mistake of updating to the latest version Acrobat 9.4.5, and discovered that the Find feature doesn't work right. For example, I enter a word to search in the "Find" box, and click return. In past versions, the PDF would jump to the first instance of the term or phrase and highlight the word. Now, the PDF jumps to the page, but doesn't highlight the word! So... I'm stuck reading through text to find the word, which is a lot of extra work and time that I don't have. This is a critical problem because I search documents for terms all of the time in my job.
I've found one workaround that isn't very satisfactory, but it is better than nothing. Instead of using "Find Next in PDF", I use "Open Full Acrobat Search" which is a command off the Find pull-down menu. This command opens up a separate window, which is annoying because it disappears behind the document if you need to page through the PDF file. However, if I do the search, it shows all of the instances in a pane in the context of the sentence where it appears. Then, if I click on the instance of the word in this pane twice (Yes, TWICE), it will highlight the word in the PDF. You cannot use the Find Next button as you could in previous versions, because this function will not highlight the word. Anyway, given there are other bugs in this release that I've read about in this forum, I'll most likely just go back to the previous version and completely disable the automatic update feature in Acrobat. I wish going back was a quick process, but I don't think it is.
I'm also going to tell everyone in my circle of friends to avoid automatically updating Adobe Acrobat in the future. Adobe obviously doesn't test the software well. Wish I could charge Adobe for the time and frustration they've caused me!

Brianwrx,
     The Acrobat 9.4.5 update bugs where the first "hit" on each page is not highlighted when doing a Find/Search and no longer being able to use Shift & Ctrl on the Pages pane thumbnails to multi-select and move/delete pages are well reported by many to have been introduced coincident with the Acrobat 9.4.5 release and not a MS Windows update. I'm not sure what is going on with your 9.0.0 Pro Extended.
     For seasoned Adobe to break such commonly used features in Acrobat 9, never have regression tested these basic functions given the 3 month (or longer) release cycle, and not have broke it in Acrobat X doesn't reflect well on their development/test process. Then, there are web forum recommendations prodding to upgrade to Acrobat X -- which completely changed the User Interface and will result in significant loss of productivity while bridging the learning curve and dealing with new functional/compatibility problems. Furthermore, it is something how OCR Suspects are never found/flagged in Acrobat 9, and then were finally fixed in Acrobat X (forcing the need for a paid upgrade to get a bug fix and have to relearn the interface to boot).
     Adobe's poor quality 9.4.5 release update does me more harm than good when considering other settings to improve Acrobat security (turning off Java-Script, not automatically trusting sites from the Win OS security zones, and not allowing the opening of non-PDF file attachments with external applications under the Edit menu - Preferences). Adobe has made no official commitment to fix its bugs or provide a release date in the 10+ weeks since the awful 9.4.5 code was thrown over the fence to unsuspecting auto-update customers without any practical/simple way to back it off to 9.4.4 -- even though in all probability it will take the programmer one day each to fix the bugs with some additional time to test/release). It is interesting that there have been no critical Acrobat security issues (as evidenced by no Out-Of-Cycle releases since 9.4.5), which should mean their programmers have more time to fix these bugs and restore stable functionality in 9.4.6. As for "not being able to use Shift & Ctrl directly on the Pages pane thumbnails to move pages" (another 9.4.5 bug), the circumvention to drag a window around a group of pages, hold down Shift, and drag a window around a second group of pages should be further clarified with the following: Once your blue highlighted contiguous/non-contiguous pages selection is made, be sure to drag a thumbnail graphic directly to move the selection and don't try to drag the blue shaded perimeter area (which results in clearing the blue highlighting). This does provide a decent circumvention for that bug -- as compared to the cumbersome "Full Acrobat Search - Advanced Search Options - double-clicking each Result line" circumvention for the Find/Search first "hit" non-highlighting bug. I implore Adobe to listen to your customers and please take a "do no harm" conservative approach to updates/enhancements in the future.

Reveal in Finder, doesn't work anymore

Using iMac 27" 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7.
Since I have upgrade to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 and iPhoto 9.4.1 and 9.4.2, using menu «Reveal in Finder» (original or modified photo) doesn't work anymore.
This menu was working fine beforehand.
Could it be related with the last upgraded version of Java (version 7, upgrade 9) ?
Thanks for your advices.

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - 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 down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

Microsoft Exam Questions On Functionality That Doesn't Work!

What does a student do if they are tested, in a Microsoft exam, on functionality that's known not to work?!
It seems absurd that Microsoft is doing this.

Assume it does work when you take the exam.
How can functionality that doesn't work outside of the exam suddenly and mysteriously work in the exam? that doesn't make sense!
Turn a blind eye toward "real world" experiences in these types of cases.
Turning a blind eye to functionality that doesn't work isn't the correct solution: fixing the software or removing the question
from the exam is.
Be sure to mark the exam questions that you disagree with.
- and what happens if the student concerned did not think to do this at this time but only after she had time
to think about it afterwards?
Thank you for your contribution but I feel that it does not really address the problem I have highlighted.

ICloud Control panel absolutely doesn't work

So I downloaded iCloud Control Panel on my PC with Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and it doesn't work. It doesn't recognize that I have Microsoft Outlook, even though it's Outlook 2007, It doesn't merge the bookmarks and I can't activate Photo stream because this option on iCloud Control Panel is all grayed out. Here is a screenshot: http://img64.imageshack.us/img64/3097/icloude.png
So what can be blocking iCloud Control Panel? I don't use any antivirus software, so that's not a problem. I also tried to use the iCloud control panel in my sisters notebook and it works perfectly.

Finder doesn't work properly after waking up from sleep?

I have a brand new MacBook Pro with Lion installed on it. It travels back and forth from home to work with me, and at work I plug it in to an Apple Display. When I leave work, I put the laptop to sleep and take it home. At home, when it wakes up from sleep, the finder does not work properly. Often, I cannot see any finder windows, and mission control does not show my various desktops, and only shows open applications. I have already tried throwing away the com.apple.finder.plist file, and it did not help.
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Yes, change your display / colour profile to a different (or the default) profile. Has worked for myself, and many others on other forums.
Hope that helps...

"open in finder" doesn't work (mountain lion)

I had a strange problem pop up recently in Mac OS X Mountain Lion where operations to reveal a file in the Finder would not work. I noticed it first in Chrome where I would try and open a downloaded file and could not get to it. Then I tried to reveal a download in Safari and got the same thing (confirming it was not a bug in Chrome).
I have a MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012)

For those of you who have the problem, I discovered that you need atleast one Web Widget in your Widgets folder.
I copy one over from our MBP, and the functionality returned.

Dock gone, minimize doesn't work, computer won't respond to "shut down"....

First of all, I'm surely not a computer expert by any means, but one morning when I turned on my computer (iBook) trouble erupted as follows:
Once I logged on, the desktop picture was changing pictures every 2 seconds. I changed it to not switch pictures anymore.
I have my dock on hide at the bottom of the screen and when I went to retrieve it with my mouse, it would not pop up. I figured a restart was in order, but when I clicked on the apple and hit "restart", nothing happened. I clicked on "shut down", but again nothing happened. I also noticed that none of my windows would "minimize" when I hit the minimize button at the top left of the windows. I double-clicked the top of the window and the minimize tab would flash, but the window did not change.
I then noticed that none of my hot corners worked, so I opened up system preferences/dashboard & expose and noticed all my hot corner settings were blank. When I tried to reset them, it would show for a second and then disappeared, but would not take the setting.
One or two things on the fritz would be allright, but all these things tell me something must be seriously wrong?
I've read and read, but still haven't seen anything like this. Do I have to do a backup and re-install of Tiger or does anyone have any ideas that I could try before I go through all that? Any help would be appreciated!

First of all, you should be able to force it to shut down by holding the power button until the screen goes black and it is not in sleep (takes ~5 seconds).
When you boot up again, try checking your library (YOUR USER NAME>Library>Preferences>com.apple.systempreferences.plist
It's hard to interpret, but it might have gotten deleted.
Also check the finder preferences (Library>Preferences>com.apple.finder.plist.
If the library doesn't have much in it, it's possible it was deleted.
Unless you had a backup, you can't recover it.
If the library is still full, and your preferences for other applications are still the same, it's possible that you need to take your mac in for a checkup.
This probably won't help with your specific issue, but it is a good app to have to manage Finder/System. It is called OnyX, and you can get it here.
If you have an AppleCare warranty, try calling them at 1-800-275-2273
(Canadians, call 1-800-263-3394, other countries, look here)
Hope I helped!
