Deleted render files in Finder, now video won't preview or render

I deleted some render files in the Finder (not in Render Manager) with FCP running, and now the m2v video won't preview or render properly. The frames are all black or solid pastels. I've imported in a back up copy and the result is the same, no frame readout. Quicktime plays the video fine until the point the scrubber was in the timeline when I deleted the render files, then it reads only black until the end of the movie. Adobe AfterEffects reads the video fine, and Final Cut imports and reads other video files fine. How can I restore this video's functionality in QT and FCP?
Thanks,
Dan

Go here: http://www.squared5.com and get yourself a free copy of MPEG Streamclip. Install it.
Copy the VIDEO_TS folder from the DVD to your hard drive.
Open VOB1.1 found inside the TS folder with Streamclip (you don't usually need VOB1.0). You might be asked if timecode errors should be fixed and if you want the other files too (you do). This will take a minute or two.
Go to File > Export >Export as QuickTime. Click the button at the top that is currently showing "Motion JPEG A", change it to DV. Move the quality slider to 100%. Click "Make Movie" and run through the save dialog.
In Final Cut Pro, go to the menu bar: Final Cut Pro > Easy Setup. Choose DV NTSC (or PAL as appropriate). Go to Sequence > Settings > Load Sequence Preset.
Import the files you made with Streamclip and edit them.
Export as a QuickTime Movie using Current Settings - as a Reference Movie or Self contained -this part is up to you, I prefer Self Contained, because it is independant of the original source material.
This file will be the basis for whatever you want to deliver the project as.

Upgraded to the latest Keynote (5.3 1170) and now videos won't play in presentation mode, only audio

Upgraded Keynote on my home and work computers to the latest version in the AppStore and now videos won't play in presentation mode. In edit mode you can double click and it will play in the editor. This happens on both computers running the latest version of ML (10.8.4).
Any help here? Alread tried a reinstall of ML on one machine with no luck.
Was previously running Keynote 08 (non AppStore version). Tried creating brand new presentations in 09, no luck.

I had the same problem today in front of an audience with 300 people (MacbookPro OSX 10.10, Thunderbolt-VGA adapter, PPT 14.4.6).
Here what I figured out so far:
1. It happens when you have PPT open and connect to beamer afterwards
2. You can resolve it (in my case) by quitting PPT and launching it WHEN connected to beamer
3. Yet, make sure Mac does not go into sleep mode or you get a lock-screen in the waiting time. if you do so, you get back to square 1. quit PPT again 2. restart it.
4. Also.... in one case I had to hit the volume control once to get the sound back even though movie was playing
So in short: Connect to beamer first, then launch PPT
I know it is only a symptom fix but it worked for me

Does anyone know what may be causing this problem?
Thank you

Unless you held down the Command key when dragging the iPhoto Library package to the flash drive you only copied the library. How is the flash drive formatted? If it was not OS X Extended (journaled) the integrity of the library's internal structure was probably compromised.
If you don't have a current backup of your library do the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

I deleted something off finder now itunes won't recognize device

i deleted a file off itunes and now itunes won't recognize them what should i do??

Without you telling ua the name of the file you delete there isn't much we can do to help you.
If you don't know the name of the file, your only alternative would be to take it to the Apple Store and ask them to fix,

Deselecting images in camera raw before opening the rest is deleting the files from finder!

Hi, as the title suggests, im having an issue with of our machines. There are 6 running camera raw and it is the only one to do this (version 6.6).
Example situation:
10 RAW files are dragged into photoshop,
they open in camera raw.
all are selected and a white balance taken from the 'grey card' image that has been shot specifically.
the grey card image is then deselected (with backspace button or otherwise) because i don't need it to be opened in photoshop for further editing with the rest.
the problem:
after clicking 'open images' the deselected grey card image is dissapearing from my finder window. the delay in opening in photoshop means i can actually watch it go.
this doesnt happen on any other of my machines in the studio and that action should simply tell camera raw that i dont want to open that particular image in photoshop.
can anyone tell me why it is doing that??
we're working off our server (as we normally do), so the files arent being sent to the trash. if raws are worked on from the dekstop, the same thing happens and they obviously go straight to the trash then
why is camera raw deleting my files? are they recovereable? how do i stop it?
any help would be great. its a fast working studio and the grey card shots are not something we can afford to be losing.
thanks,
dom.

Sounds like you're working over a network.
This is the boilerplate text often used in connection to saving to a network (please NOTE the part where it explains that normally, it does work, but that it is impossible to troubleshoot someone else's network remotely, and that's why it's not supported by Adobe):
If you are opening files over a network or saving them to a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the event you are currently experiencing problems with one or more files. Working across a network is not supported.
See:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/406/kb406793.html
Copy the CLOSED file from your server to your local hard disk, work on it, save it again to your local hard disk, close it, and copy the closed file back to the server.
Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support working across a network does not necessarily mean it won't work. It should.
Adobe's position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to guarantee that everything will work correctly in every network, especially given the fact that if something does not work properly, it's probably the network's fault, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting your network.
If you can't work locally, you are on your own, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you must work from a server, make sure your network administrator is a competent professional.
When problems arise, a lot of valuable work can be lost.

Deleted some files in finder - how do I clean up in Aperture?

I have deleted some files and folders in Finder and am wondering if there is a way to clean up in Aperture tooo????

This is true and was the first I thought of as well, but I would hesitate to recommend it in this particular case since the filtering also will show all files that are offline by other reasons (i.e. moved folder or images). Also, the folders he have deleted (showing up as projects or albums in Aperture) will not be deleted in the library so one have to go through all these anyway to find out where the empty ones are.
Hopefully there will not be a huge amount of images that were deleted so by looking into the different projects will give more control regarding what you are deleting from Aperture's library. Any file or project that are missing by other reasons would easily be recognized and could then be relocated first.

Migrated to new comp, now Air Won't Preview from Dreamweaver

Hi all,
I'm on a mac and have migrated over to a new computer. Air has decided it won't preview from dreamweaver.
I'm 99% sure this is due to a path issue /usrname vs /newusrname with dreamweaver exten finding the ADL or whatever the exten calls to preivew, but I'm not sure how to change it.
Any ideas?

Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
First, empty the Trash.
Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
find ~ $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl $ 2> /dev/null | wc -l
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "41." Please post it in a reply.

Updated to 2014.1.1 now animation won't preview

Hi,
I just updated to Edge 2014.1.1 and while it seems to have fixed some bugs I was experiencing (previously Edge was having trouble saving), it's now having trouble previewing my animation. It's a large and complicated file, but whereas before it played fine, now when I click "Preview In Browser" it loads up a choppy, slow-moving, more-or-less-static image. I've tried previewing it in both Chrome and Safari and it works in neither. I would like to keep using this updated version of Edge (it had been really frustrating to save before) but I need to be able to preview my animation as I work on.
Thanks for any help.
-Adam

Thanks very much for the response. However, it was working in Chrome just fine before I made the update to 2014.1.1, so I don't know what sort of restrictions would have come into effect all of a sudden. It was also previously working fine on Safari.
I've read some older threads about animations maxing out browsers and devices (here and here). My project is large, but again it was previewing without any problems on 2014.0.1, so I'm hoping that's not the issue.
It's really important that I be able to preview my project while working on it, so if there was a way to do that and use 2014.1.1 that would be ideal.

I deleted Octoshape and now videos won't stream

My MBP was running slower and slower so I went to the forums and it was suggested that Octoshape be deleted.
So I did that. Now I can't get videos to stream from youtube, hulu, news sites etc... I have downloaded and installed
Flash Player a couple of times but still can't get the stream working. UTube still gives me a message to update
Flash Player. ugh. Help!

Same problem here. I have 20Mb connection speeds. My wife's Iphone5 works fine. (Not upgraded from IOS 5 yet)
WiFi just drops off during stream. It's on 'connect automatically' but doesn't reconnect. I then manually connect and repeat this. However, it automatically connects and doesn't drop if web browsing. Only experienced during video streaming.
Same thing with Audio Podcasts.
Tried clearing history, forgetting network and restating.
I stupidly installed IOS6 on brand trust. Wish I'd waited and checked reviews first. iPhone gone from very useful device to painfully useless.

IMac display issues: black icons and folders, doubled up files in finder windows, programs won't update

HELP!
I'm hoping someone can help with my iMac 27" purchased in 2010. From a previous discussion I started a year ago, I have had virtually nothing but trouble with it. After the internal hard drive crashing, I was able to install OS X on an external drive and used it for a good 8 months to drive my iMac and I took it to an expert who has replaced it with a 3tb HDD, but at some point the display has gone crazy. I am not certain if it is hardware, i.e. graphics card or video but I'll describe the symptoms and add some pics to see if anyone has seen this before and knows what the problem may be.
1.     90% of the screen was covered with white with just a portion of the desktop showing through.
        (This happened when I tried to reinstall OS X on the old HDD and the new one, but didn't happen when using OS X install disc)
2.     Files, folders, photos and some icons on the dock go black
3.     Files and photos double up when in Finder. When I'm viewing photos, it shows them but all the previous panes and the photos are jumbled behind the
        photos.
4.     Anything I open in Preview is completely black, but ColourSync Utility opens everything fine.
5.     Programs won't update. They will download onto my iMac but won't update. Some say, because I don't have OS X 10.6.8 others just won't open.
        Including Google Chrome, opens with two tabs open but when I open a third tab the rainbow wheel just turns. Skype won't open just gives a failure
        report.
6.     10.6.8 Update Combo downloads but when I restart the screen is covered in white - as in 1. and I have to reinstall OS X 10.6.2 to get the screen to               clear but then all the above problems continue.
7.     Sometimes videos don't display in Youtube, or the entire page other than the video player is covered in rainbow lines.
8.     Some buttons are blacked out on selection pages, i.e. system preferences, or saving screens
9.     Photos opened in FB go upside down and flicker all over the page as my mouse runs over them.
10.   Photos won't upload into internet editing programs.
I can't find anyone who has had the same issue in all of the discussions I've looked at, but it sounds like I have a video problem, but I wondered if it might be a software problem with flash or something. Or I have something malicious on my computer.
I also have an iphone 5 that faulted with the iTunes and USB icons and won't fix after trying one of those R-Sims, and I wondered if somewhere along the line it may have even had a virus/trojan/malware that has infected my external drive and then my internal drive. A reason I have thought that is because I have used my daughter's MacPro laptop and plugged in my external drive and I noticed the windows in hers were starting to do the same thing.
And on top of all that, my fans didn't work for over a year and I had to place an external fan at the back of the computer or it would overheat and shut down, but after resetting the SMU it started working again, but it is very noisy. I have tried to download SMC Fan Control and although it downloads to the HDD, it won't open.
Sorry its such a long post, I do hope with all of this information someone can help me.
Thanks so much.

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
*Soon after, I installed Quake Wars, L4D 1, 2, Mass Effect 2, Need For Speed: Undercover, Mozilla Firefox and *Sophos Enterprise AV*. Approximately a week after installation, I began to experience malfunctions varying greatly*
Macs get grumpy when running anti virus software. Disable or completely uninstall Sophos A/V and see if that makes a difference. A/V software on a Mac will slow the drive down more and more as time goes on.
Also, check the vendor sites for each 3rd party software you installed to make sure they are compatible with 10.6.x
The "hard reboots" are a result of the system freezing due to incompatible or outdated software.

IPhone 6 camera froze when I stopped taking video now video won't play

I have a 64 GB iPhone 6 with 32 GB of space still available iOS 8.1. I was using the camera app to record a video. The video recorded for about a minute. When I stopped recording the screen froze with the last frame of the video and I couldn't get the camera app to respond. I had to "quit" the app (I double tapped the home button and swiped up on the camera app). When I opened the camera app again I could use it. This happened 3 times. I now have 3 videos that show up in my camera roll as white thumbnails that say 0 seconds. When I try to play them it says "cannot open". When I look at the file using image capture or something else it shows the videos, but says the file size is only 600kb (etc.) and Quicktime doesn't recognize them.
Is it possible the videos are there but just corrupted? Is there any way to recover the videos?

hello, did you ever find a resolution?

How do i delete multiple files of the same video in the "all videos" folder?

i am running out of space on my computer so i went to the "all movies" folder to see if there were items there i could get rid of. when i went i discovered that there were many instances of the same video being there as many as 4 or 5 times. why is that? i tried to delete them but they still remain. how can i single it down to just one file?

try the script (version 3) in this post,

Thanks, here is the screenshot.
I am not able to highlight the 3 files starting with a folder named David Carstensen plus the 2 files 0211111 . . .
Apparantly they came from an email, Apple Mail, and were dropped by mistake.
