Help! Event content disappears, but still remains in Finder package

Hi guys,
I'm totally stumped here. It seems FCP 10.1.1 has some sort of bug that makes content disappear. Here is what has been happening:
I upgraded back when 10.1 was released, and everything seemed fine. Around 10.1.1 I decided I wanted to move some things around. So I would click on an event inside of a Library, and I would drag it into another Library. Sometimes it would work great. Sometimes FCP would freeze, beachball, and fail. Sometimes I would leave it for 30 minutes or so just in case it was just doing something. I would eventually have to Force Quit.
The problem? The events that were to be moved didn't show up in the libraries they were supposed to go to. Not in FCP, and not in the Finder. Instead, they stayed where they were coming from. In FCP, these events no longer had any content in them. Also, they lost the purple star that would be next to events. If I went to that same event inside of the Library (Show Package Contents) ALL content was there. All the clips, the transcodes, the originals...everything. Yet, FCP wouldn't "see" it or display it.
I thought I had a workaround - copy the original files in those events to the desktop, then reimport them into a new event. Well, that does work IF it was an event that was waiting to be edited. But if it was mid-edit, of course, now all I have is the original clips, but no access to the project or edits.
And now, it seems to just "happen." I will quit FCP and then relaunch it again when I need it, and I will see another event or two in a library has lost its purple star and no longer has content in it! No idea why or what's causing it. I'm on a new Mac Pro, plenty of RAM (64GB), plenty of space, etc.
Additionally, when I quit FCP it's normally because the browser window stops updating. What I mean is, I am clicking around between events or libraries looking for clips to add to a project. Then, at some point (and this is random, haven't seen a patterns of it always occurring on any particular event) the browser gets "stuck" on an event. I can click on another event and it will be highlighted as active, but the browser window is still displaying the last event I was in. It isn't frozen, as I can still scroll, look at the clips, etc. At this point, no matter what other event I click on, I am "stuck" with the event browser displaying the contents of that event. So, then I have to quit the app and restart it...and I might find that another event has randomly lost all of its clips and projects.
Again - in the Finder if I go into the Library package and look in that event folder, EVERYTHING is still in there, nearly organized in the folder structure - yet there is nothing I can do (that I know of) to get FCP to see and display it.
Totally lost now, and scared to keep firing up FCP for fear or losing even more work...but yet, I have to because this is my job! Any help?

This kind of problem seems to indicate that somehow the changes you made were not correctly registered in the library's database. This is stored inside the library in a file with .flexolibrary extension.
A possible solution is to force FCP X to rebuild it. This method has worked on several occasions, but of course there is no guarantee. You may want to make a copy of the affected library before attempting the following.
Locate the library in the Finder (control-click, Reveal in Finder);
Quit FCP X;
(At this point, you may want to make a duplicate of the library, just in case)
Control-click the library and "Show Package Contents"
Locate the .flexolibrary file and drag it out of the library
Restart FCP X.
If all goes well, FCP X will reconstruct the database from the contents of the library package.

Hi Gary gar,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like the options at the bottom of the Music application may have been edited. You can click the More section on the far right, then choose Edit in the top right. You can then drag any options you want to that bottom bar and rearrange them.

Tired of tapping More? To rearrange the buttons, tap More, then tap Edit and drag a button onto the one you want to replace.
Have a great day,

I'm ready to help the FOSS community , but I can't find a proyect.

I've been working as a C# developer for the last 5 years and using linux for about the same time. One of my goals for the 2011 is to start developing FOSS in my spare time. Maybe in python, I find it interesting.
However , there are some problems that I am facing:
1) The proyect: every proyect I found is too big , or too complex , or too boring. Maybe I'm missing something , maybe I'm looking in the wrong place. I don't know , Exaile was the closest to a interesting proyect that I found , but after reviewing the code , I couldn't understand the gstreamer logic (I mean , that's the core of the app , right?).
2) My "coworkers": I'm used to work everyday in the same office and and have a close relationship with them. I don't know how to react to this change and how does the other developers could/would react to a new developer coming to the proyect (I mean , "hey guys , i fixed these bugs and added the 2 things for the next milestone. Btw , I'm Andres" seems wierd lol).
I think I'm not the first one having these problems , so any feedback would help me.
Thanks

How exciting! I love helping FOSS projects, but it can be difficult to decide what to do.

I agree, Python is very interesting. I made my first Python application a few months ago. It was easy to use, fun, and I think using Python helped me to become a better C programmer.
Keep it simple
nagel wrote:Every project I found is too big, or too complex, or too boring. Maybe I'm missing something, maybe I'm looking in the wrong place.
My suggestion: choose a project where you need to learn one thing at a time.
There are languages (examples: Python, C), libraries (examples: GTK, Qt), and programming paradigms. (examples: GUI programming, threaded programming) When you begin working on a project, you will probably need to learn something new. Try to learn only one thing at a time. For example, if you have to learn gstreamer and GTK (two libraries) at the same time then you might become frustrated. Or, if you have to C++ and Qt (a language and a library) at the same time then you might become frustrated.
So, try to learn one thing at a time.
Other FOSS developers

I love working online with FOSS developers! It feels like I'm talking to a celebrity. You know, like when Allan or Dusty posts a reply to me on the Arch Linux forums.
Of course, you should join the mailing list and bug tracker for the project you want to work on. I don't usually introduce myself. Instead, I just start helping, and people will know me soon.
My FOSS experience
Here are some examples from my FOSS experience.
Many years ago, I wanted to write a new FOSS application. I couldn't think of any new applications to make, so I decided to make a video game. There are NEVER too many video games.
I learned many things by making video games:
Languages: C, Objective-C, Java, Assembly, Ada
Libraries: Allegro, SDL, Java SWING
I've submitted many bug reports to many different projects, such as wxWidgets, Allegro, Udiskie, and Haiku. I really like submitting bug reports and working with the developers to fix the problem. It's easy to do and I get to use better software.
I maintain some AUR packages. (very easy, but it helps FOSS)
I helped write the documentation for some software from the Arch Linux community, such as Packer and Udiskie. I've contributed to the Arch Linux wiki.
Recently, my wife and I wanted a new application for budgetting. I decided to write one. I used Python and wxWidgets. It works pretty well. My next goal is to convert it to C++ and wxWidgets, and then make a version for Haiku using C++ and the Haiku API.
Interesting things
You should definiteley work on something that you think is interesting. To me, that's Arch Linux, Haiku, bug reports, and documentation. Try to find things that are interesting to you!
Lastly, don't make your goal too big and don't try to do too much. There are many many people helping in FOSS. If everyone does a little bit, then we can make something great.

I have checked around the internet, but still can't find any answers. How can I prevent incoming mail from interrupting the music I am listening to on my iPhone? That 1-second muting function drives me insane, especially when a lot of mail is coming in.

IPhone 4s keyboard shortcuts disappeared but still work ?

I use both french and English keyboards as I switch a lot. I've disabled auto-correction but not Spell check. I've created many useful keyboard shortcuts which now have disappeared from the shortcut list in the keyboard menu but they all still work when I type them in. I can add a new shortcut which then also works but the shortcut list still remains empty. Not the end of the world but still a weird glitch.

Here is my post from another thread:
The same thing happened to me and the Genius bar did a reset yesterday. The problem appear fixed... Until today. Back to the Genius bar this afternoon. I'm not going to let them do another reset this time if that's the only thing they have to offer.
Trial 2:
The Apple store tried all different things without success, so they gave me a new iPhone. They restored everything back via iCloud onto the new phone. Checked the shortcuts--the problem still exists! Blank.
Now I'm supposed to go back for a full hour appt so they can manually install everything onto my phone from my saved laptop. I may not do that and just live without the shortcuts until an update is available.
They said they've never encountered this problem before, but will submit it as a case to Apple.
My suggestion is that everyone having this issue to report it to a Genius Bar and make sure they submit it to Apple. Hopefully then Apple will fix this glitch on the next software update.

160 gb classic contents disappeared, music still showing up in itunes.

I just bought a used 160GB classic, using 50 GB of memory including 3 movies, 90 GB free.
Not realizing I need OS 10.4+ I plugged it in to my Powerbook, 10.3.9 and all the music content there, but no movies or command to them. Or anything in itunes that i recognized as a movie, figured I'm missing a software update, (but more than that)
While there changed the name of the ipod from the original owners to mine, After unplugging (and waiting till ok to), The ipod shows no contents, music or movies, but still has 50 gb used.
Plugged it back in to my laptop and tried changing the name back to the original owners to see if it somehow created a partition to no avail, also not finding anything on the ipod itself to indicate a new separate file as it might appear, having changed the name and still having the same amount of memory being used.
After an OS upgrade will it be possible to recover the music movies on the ipod. ?
Or I expect with an OS upgrade I can reset erase it entirely and start again.
Also wondering if the files on it were created in Windows that that might be a problem ? Figured the videos would initiate imovies somehow.
I not planning on listening to it much anyway and it no loss to lose the music on it, would replace it with my own eventually and get some kind of audio system for it, not big on earphones, might have liked to watch the movies before deleting them, Was hoping to use it for a backup hard drive. maybe some video, photo's, junk drawer mostly.

If it shows up in the Finder as an externally mounted drive, try doing a low level reformat of the iPod's hard disk. This has corrected this same issue for a handful of other users recently.
Use the instructions in this article to walk you through the process.

ICal content disappeared but shows up on MobileMe and iPhone

Hi!
I wanted to post a "question" and the "answer" because I've spent a couple of days on forums and testing and trying and restoring and ... well you get the picture. Here were my symptoms:
I have a MobileMe account. (ALL calendar data could be seen)
I have a personal iMac. (NO calendar data could be seen)
I have a work iMac. (NO calendar data could be seen)
I have an iPhone. (ALL calendar data could be seen)
I'm using MobileMe services and syncing all data between all four devices. (not to mention my wife's iphone)
*THE PROBLEM:*
The problem was that for some unknown reason both of my iCal applications at work and at home suddenly disappeared. No data could be seen in either one. I figured something went wrong with a sync and I would just check my iPhone and MobileMe site to make sure all data was still there. YES all data was there - WHEW! Now, I would just manually sync my data and transfer all data from cloud replacing computer iCal data. No problem. I received no errors, clicked on iCal - nothing. Again-all data on iPhone remained nothing showed up on my work or personal iMacs. Confused, I decided to call up Apple's support for iPhones. I spoke (texted) with Michael M somewhere in Canada (very nice gentleman - did a wonderful job walking me through over an hours worth of ideas) but to no avail. We finally decided that I needed to use my Time Machine backup to get iCal to a "working" condition and upload all data to the cloud replacing everything from that scenario. This also did not work. Something got corrupted somewhere.
*THE SOLUTION:*
I closed iCal and marched on over to Users/myuser/Library/Calendars/
and moved (didn't delete yet 'cause I was scared) EVERY folder into a "new folder" on my desktop. I then reopened iCal and WALLA - it began syncing immediately. Everything finally showed up. I sure hope this helps someone out there. If you would like a transcript of what me and the iPhone/iCal tech tried - I would be more than happy to forward that info on to you.

Hey Timothy,
So there is two Contacts icons on the iPhone?
The iPhone 2.0 software adds a Contacts application to the iPhone.
Try restoring the iPhone.

Desktop shortcuts and folders disappearing but still virtually available on SSD

Hi,
I've had a bit of an issue today where I loaded up my PC (Windows 7) and half my desktop has disappeared, At the moment as I run dual monitors, when I first attached my second monitor many months ago some of my desktop icons were chucked to the right and
some to the left but with this case they have disappeared.
When I shut down my PC last night everything was okay and nothing was missing (I did install a few game updates last night but that is the norm for me) Today, the shortcuts that are missing are still available on my SSD (:D) drive which is set as first boot
order. I can search to the desktop folder on the SSD and all shortcuts are intact. The desktop currently running is from my standard hard drive (:C) which was more of a backup and for space. On the "My Computer" screen i'm 100% sure my SSD was first
in the list (left in list) but it appears now to have switched with my regular hard drive
Can anyone tell me a way to reverse this? i've tried system restore but as it assumes my last restore point was the windows updates that installed today (As the only restore points it looks for is the hard drive and not SSD)
I would really appreciate any help.
Thanks

Hello Jason2710,
This can happen if the the System Maintenance troubleshooter detects the shortcuts as broken.

When I try to delete events on my iPhone calendar, the event momentarily disappears, but comes back within a second.

The title says it all.
I'm having my iphone calendar sync with my google calendar. I had a repeating event that I tried to delete - I tried deleting both just this event, as well as trying to delete all future events, but either way, the event is only temporarily deleted. It disappears for a bit, but reappears almost instantaneously.
Any ideas?
- will

To make sure that this is not software related, set it back to factory settings, without using any backup data afterwards. Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test the camera. If it still does not work, this is a hardware issue and the phone has to be serviced by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:

Iphone 4s, camera roll photos disappeared but still seem to be there is a usage

hello my photos in the camera roll have disappeared and i cant find them aywhere, but when i look at my usage on photos and videos in settings it has a high usage like all my photos and videos are there,my background on the homepage still has my photo and my contact photos are still there but they just seem not to be in camera roll where they use to be, it was the old ios 5 when i noticed, i have just updated to 6 today and it is still the same can anybody help me with this please? very furstrating
thank you

If a restore does not bring them back, then they are gone.
You should never rely on the iphone backup for your camera roll.
Camera roll is temporary storage. You should import these pics to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera. Once on your computer, you can include them in your regular backup of your computer.

FLVplayback window disappears but sound remains

I'm using Flash CS5 and Actionscript 2. I'm created a multi page training document with some pages containing videos.
I have a set of XML program generated videos that work great until I use removeMovieClip(); when exiting the page. I use this to kill the video before I get the the next page.
When I come back to the page the code I have regenerates the list. But when I play the videos I only get sound and no video.
Sometimes the video black window appears and then immediately disappears or nothing appears but the sound starts playing.
I can't figure out what is worng - any help is appreciated!
Here are the relevant pieces of code:
import mx.video.*;
//Creating the mc which will contain the FLVPlayback
var video_mc:MovieClip = _root.createEmptyMovieClip('video_mc', _root.getNextHighestDepth());
//screen location
video_mc._x = 215;
video_mc._y = 100
function createPlayer()
{           my_flp = video_mc.attachMovie('FLVPlayback', 'my_flp', video_mc.getNextHighestDepth());
my_flp.autoSize = true;
my_flp.skinAutoHide = true;
my_flp.skin = "ClearOverPlaySeekMute.swf";      }
createPlayer();
my_flp.contentPath = this.vid;
my_flp.play();

Thanks for the reply. I tried this but I'm still getting the problem.
function removePlayer()
my_flp.close();
my_flp.dispose();
my_flp.removeMovieClip();

Email in Mail Disappeared but Still in Library Mail

Hey, my email messages in Mail are gone... or that is when opening Mail it acts as if it were the first time I started it only giving me the option to add an account or close Mail. But hopefully good news... all of my different mailboxes are in the Library>Mail folder.
I think this is due to me leaving the MacBook on and the battery dying (battery totally lost it's stamina and can't stay on for long).
I am using an IMAP Gmail account so not a dire situation but is there an nice an easy way to just maybe point Mail or restore these folders that have all my messages and settings within them?

Hi , and a warm welcome to the forum!
First I'd backup your whole Mail folder, by right clicking on it in the Finder, then choose Archive/Compress.
Right click on that Mail folder, choose archive, you'll get everything in the folder, and the folder itself in a file called Mail.zip, move it to a safe place... only the plist is separate.
Try dragging this file to the desktop in case we need to put it back later, then logout/in...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist
(May or may not require you to setup your account(s) again.)
Quit Mail, then In your home folder, try moving this +folder & file+ to the Desktop then reboot...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail
Move to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
You can always move them back if it doesn't help.

When I import pictures from my Nikon some of the photos appear on their side and blurred. When I click on them they load fine but still remain incorrect in the preview at the bottom.

In addition if I create a book, when I drag the picture they do not correct and remain as the distorted picture. Normal pictures also appear blurred when dragged into the book box.

Have you tried to rebuild the previews?
Select all images, then ctrl-click and select "Update previews" from the pop-up menu?
On my notebook I did not notice such an import problem, but my notebook is running Lion.
Regards
Léonie
