Camera wireframe icon missing in 3d  perspective view!!!

Dear Motion masters,
I cant solve this problem and find it very tricky:
I wanted to do some nice camera animation in 3d view, but after looking some tutorials I realized that my camera icon is missing which is really annoying as it gives real feel of how to frame the shot and move the camera... so after reading some of the forums I trashed the properties and I got it back in the new project, however when I open old project it disappears and even after saving the new project and restarting the motion it disappears... so I really don't know how to get it back.... the only time i can see it is after trashing the properties and starting motion for the first time... please help as I really need to finish one project and would like to use some 3d camera effects in it... thanx
p.s. yes I have all the 3d views ticked and am looking at it in perspective, also tried zooming out a lot... almost till the moon
thanx

Welcome to the discussions.
I would try opening the suspect project, creating a new project, then dragging all the groups from the "bad" project into the new one. Save the new project, quit Motion, trash your preferences, then open the new project and see if you maintain your camera view...

  • Can't see the camera wireframe / icon in views

    This might sound strange - and there probably is an easy answer to this question.
    I'm looking at all of the alternate views in Motion 3 (ie. top, right,..) and I cannot see the yellow camera wireframe in any of the views.
    I've made sure that all of the view options are checked and they are... but the camera still doesn't show.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks

    I did the typical "trash the preferences", and it worked. I would have sworn I had tried that before I wrote here, but I sometimes forget what machine I was having the troubles with.
    Unfortunately I lost my preferences, and this is just a kludge and not yet a fix.
    Hopefully my new 8 core showing up fixes everything. <snicker>

  • Camera swap icon missing on screen

    Hi, I wanted to use my tablet to skype and noticed that the icon to swap the camera is missing on the screen. I have tried updating the software but still the icon is not showing Also have checked in settings and any other place i could think of.
    Anyone any idea? i have the tablet about 2.5 months but not used the camera really yet hence only just noticed.
    Thanks

    Hi, I have tried taking my tablet to the shop, they can't help and gave me some support phone number. Calling them it keeps asking me for a case number which I dont have. 
    If honest this is very frustrating and the Sony customer care has not impressed so far.
    I have looked everywhere and tried everything to find this icon but it's nowhere. Even the people in the shop couldnt find it. 
    What more can I do to get this sorted?? 
    I am very close to writing a formal complaint.

  • IPhone 4 Camera Icon Missing, Facetime Unavailable after add Mail Exchange

    iPhone 4 running 4.0.1
    when my iPhone setup to MS Exchange email account (my company) I noticed that iPhone 4 Camera Icon Missing, Facetime Unavailable. I remove the account from "setting" - "Mail" and all feature came back to normal.
    This also happened to my colleague (iPhone 4 FM 4.0) connected to same MS Exchange server.
    However; I posted this issue on other forum and other iPhone 4 users don't have the same issue connected to Exchange.
    My Company running MS Exchange 2007

    Got it working now iOS support Exchange Policy!
    http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090617122000AAy6ZwS
    Exchange 2007 has active sync policies. One of the options is to disallow the camera.
    To resolve the problem do the following.
    1) Open Exchange Management Console
    2) Click "Organization Configuration"
    3) Click "Client Access"
    4) On the right you should see your active sync policies. Right click the policy and chose "Properties"
    5) Click the "Device" tab
    6) Check "Allow camera"
    And bingo it works!!!!

  • CS4 Extended - Some Icons missing

    Hi there,
    there are some icons missing regarding the control if the opened files ( see attached image link ).
    I tried reinstall but without success.
    http://img383.imageshack.us/my.php?image=iconsle0.jpg
    ANy ideas?
    regards,
    malojo

    I had the same problem. It also caused some issues in CS3 with the selection tools.
    Remove Nik software if it's present in your plugins folder. For me the specific folder that fixed it was named "penpalette." Once I deleted this the icons came back and the program worked much better and more smoothly.

  • Perspective View using orbit tool won't let me rotate in certain directions

    Is the perspective view able to view in all directions and angles? Often when I use it with the orbit tool I can rotate about the X and Y planes but not the Z. Or Z and Y but not X. I was under the impression that the perspective view and the orbit tool would allow you to get any angle/view you wanted. Or perhaps I may be using the orbit tool wrong. But I tried to click and drag in all directions, but is not orbiting in the direction I want.

    Thanks Mark,
    The orbit tool at the top right is not letting me view about an axis. Are you suggesting I hold the command while using the orbit tool as well?
    Also, when you say hold the command and click and drag within the bands in the Canvas, wouldn't this change the orientation of the object or camera? All I want to do is change my perspective view to the angle I want so I can edit 3d motion paths with more precision.

  • Camera Position Icons Disappear after installing FCP on new iMac...

    Anybody have an idea? Just bought a new iMac with an Intel Core i7 processor and maxed out the RAM at 16 GB. Now, when launching Motion, the camera position icons in the top right corner of the viewer, and the camera view menu on the top left of the viewer have mostly disappeared - just leaving some weird colored blocks.
    Thanks!

    Update Motion to 4.0.3 - that was a bug that's been fixed...

  • Why are my desktop folder icons missing?

    why are my desktop folder icons missing?

    Yes I have tried a restart, a shut down and restart, a coling off period for 5 minutes anda restart, an examination of view options and I still get nothing, no destop folders icons, just the title of the folder.  The folders without icons will open and their contents are displayed, just not the icons.  The only icons I see are the hard drives, I have 4 in my old mac pro.  So what gives?

  • Dock Icons Missing after running Onyx

    Hello Folks,
    I just ran Onyx and did a restart. I now have about 12 of my dock icons missing, can anyone tell me what I need to do to restore them?
    Many thanks,
    Jim

    I tried just clicking on each icon that was gone, and as I did with each one, they came back to normal. In my case where each icon was there was a blank icon in its place, that I clicked on.

  • I have icons missing on OSX mavericks in Launchpad

    hi guys,

    this is ever since i updated OSX mavericks to the latest version. 10.9.1 i think.
    please help or if u are experiencing it too lemme know if theres anything we can do!
    i dont want to uninstall and then re-install these apps so that is not an option!
    thanks all

    If they were purchased from iTunes then connect the phone to your Mac's iTunes and the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases should copy them over. If they came from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) then you will need a third-party program on your Mac to copy them back - there are some listed half-way down this page : Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
    If by 'missing' you mean that you have them listed in the Music part of your iTunes library but get the 'would you like to locate' message when trying to play them then you will need to delete them from there for the Transfer Purchases to work - otherwise that will see those entries in your library and assume that you still have them somewhere and not copy them back.

  • Disk First Aid - Problem: Custom icon missing

    Hi
    Wonder if anyone can help me - my mac kept quitting out of printing photos to my Epson R300 and then froze. I didn't let it self repair once restarted but left it to do it today manually. I set Disk First Aid going and it came up with about 30 "Custom icon missing" alerts and when I asked it to repair it couldn't repair them.
    Anyone know what's happened there and how to fix it?
    I've noticed that the mac has been quitting out of programmes a lot lately but without the 'this spllication has unexpectedly quit' alert. I haven't added any new software or hardware lately either.
    Many thanks!

    Vicky,
    Welcome to Discussions.
    Fortunately, the Custom Icon issue will have no impact on the general reliability of your mac.
    As a bit of background, one of the special attributes that can be applied to a file or folder (like modification date, or label, or comments, or the FileType and Creator - so a document knows which app it is associated with when you double click it) is this "Custom Icon" setting.
    So you have 30 files / folders that have been marked as having a custom icon. But when it goes to get the custom icon to display the file / folder in the Finder, it can't find it. You usually just end up with a generic icon for the file / folder. It offers no extra functionality other than displaying a pretty icon in the Finder. Similarly, when it doesn't work, you lose no functionality, other than that.
    The applications quiting unexpectedly could be an issue, but issues with printing colour photos to a printer may be memory issues. Colour photos, perhaps .jpg, are compressed. As your printer doesn't have built-in decompression software, the pictures must be decompressed on the Mac before sending to the printer. And there is the issue, if this requires too much memory, your mac can do strange things.
    Is printing from OSX any better ? I would have thought a G4 iMac with Panther would be a dream to work on.

    • Only if your video camera supports it.  Depending on how your camera works, you may need to add preview software to your Mac to use this feature.
    • Alternatively, your camera may also be able to record directly into your Mac while you are monitoring the Mac's display.
    • If you are using a consumer camcorder that supports HDMI monitoring, a small HDTV might be an simpler solution than your Mac.  For an example of how this is done, see http://youtu.be/GVpSkZD6qE4.
    • The retailer who sold you your video camera may have other suggestions.
    • If you need more professional results, an external preview monitor will offer more capability on compatible cameras.

  • Airplay Icon missing from iTunes 11.0.2.26 (PC) and Genius Sidebar

    After upgrading to iTunes 11.0.2.26 my Airplay icon is missing. I've tried the simple fix that reportedly works where you switch to mini player, see the Airplay icon and then it stays when you switch to normal mode.
    Firstly the icon does appear but it is grayed out and only pops up a volume control. It does not detect, display, or allow you to select output devices, Second, it is still missing from the normal size window.
    This has been tried with and without restarting iTunes as well as reinstalling iTunes. I'd go for a downgrade but then it fails to work with the new iPads at all. I discovered that with my first iPad mini where it required an iTunes upgrade.
    Genious Sidebar
    I figured Id just downgrade to 10.6.3 to get the genius sidebar back afterwards. WRONG, it will not synch or do anything without the newer versions of the iTunes software. Genius sidebar was the best thing about the software and they kept taking it away, brought it back for a few versions, then took it away again. It was and remains my favorite way to shop for new music. The remaining so called genius functions are just plain lame.
