Help my rushes have vanished!!!

Hi,
I'm two days into an urgent edit on FCP 4.5. I've saved all my work, no problem. When I try to re-open the project I get a message telling me that about 50% of my rushes have gone offline. I've checked the drive they're on, and sure enough they've vanished.
When I checked the directory that FCP is looking in, it says Trashes 501. I take this to mean that originally the rushes were in the trash, then when I emptied the trash, I wiped my rushes at the same time.
I'm positive that there no way I could have accidentally put stuff in the trash - so what on earth is going on?
Any ideas, anyone???!!!!! I have a deadline, and I really don't need this.....
Thanks,
stuart

Sometime in round tripping with collateral applications, FCP seems to get confused about what is a master clip and what is a render. Since render files are taken care of (aka deleted) all the time without your intervention, it is only when then this case of mistaken identity occurs do you become aware of all the hocus pokus going on behind the scenes.
So, as Bogie points out, the files are gone. Better to simply recapture and move forward. But, you might say, "Hey, I didn't round trip ANYTHING!" In that case, a sacrifice might be appropriate to appease the relevant computer daemons. While some may suggest a goat or other small furry animal, I suggest a good bottle of single malt scotch. Something over 12 yrs old so they (the FCP daemons) know you are serious.
cheers,

Help. I have a Google Hangout in 40mins and my sound seems to have vanished. I went to Sys Prefs and it came up with Digital Out....and the Internal Speakers option is no longer there. How do I reboot, or fix this please?

There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Some may not apply to your model. Back up all data before making any changes.
1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
2. Make sure you have a fully up-to-date installation of OS X.
3. If you've installed an application called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and restart. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
4. Other third-party software that has been reported to interfere with sound output includes "Boom" and "Samsung Kies." If applicable, uninstall according to the developer's instructions (not by dragging something to the Trash.)
5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select Built-in Output from the list on the left. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them.
7. If a red light is visible in the audio-out port when sound should be playing, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. If not, the machine needs to be serviced. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by the warranty.
If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Restart and test.
9. If you have a MacBook Air, turn off Bluetooth and restart.
10. Start up in safe mode. Don't log in; just restart as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
11. Reset the NVRAM.
12. Reset the SMC.
13. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Preferences/Audio
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item selected. Move the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password. Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Recreate your settings in the Sound preference pane.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
14. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data.
15. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

Is there a way to recover old emails? I moved a few folders around on the hard disk and now my emails have reverted to Factory settings and all my old emails and address book have vanished. I am still running on 10.4.11 and Apple can not help me.

Well, your profile info says 10.4.11, and you are posting your question in the iMac (PPC) category. If you are running Snow Leopard, it must be a fairly recent Intel iMac.
In that case, you should definitely post your question here
https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.6_snow_leopard
where other Snow Leopard users can see your question. Restate the problem, what error messages you get, and what you have tried already (for trouble-shooting).

Help my tool bars have vanished!

When I opened Illustrator CS5 today I notice all of my tool bars have vanished. I would like to know how to get them back. I'm using Windows.

Yay! it worked! The CTRL-AlT-Shift worked. I have to say when I contacted Adobe support they were no help whatsoever, just kept wanting me to buy a new program. I'm disappointed in the company's loyalty to their customers, especially for those of us who will use their products for a long time. While I don't intend to buy every updated version of the software that comes about I intend to buy them. If I'm going to spend $300+ for a program I better get lifetime support for that program.

My CS2 has worked fine for serval years. All of a suddend my user name, Alan Ford, and sereal number have vanished from my program. How do I correct this?

Hello,
Why do you need to use the regasm utility from the post-build action?
There is a difference between signing the assembly with a strong name and digital signature. The
How to: Sign an Assembly with a Strong Name article in MSDN explains how to sign an assembly with a strong name (.snk). See
How to digitally sign a strong named assembly for adding a digital signature.

PS CS6 Auto Recover??? Posted earlier but seems to have vanished

Hi... posted this earlier but the problem/question seems to have vanished... so, reposting.
Was asked to troubleshoot a Win 7 PS13 (CS6) crash today - first time to my knowledge PS has ever crashed! On restart, no Auto Recover option. All work lost. Did some checking.
Found two folders:
1. On the boot disk, found Users\xxxx...\....\AutoRecover
2. On the exclusive scratch disk - set on G: - found the folder G:\PSAutoRecover (as well as the PS temp file in the root of G:).
Both the AutoRecover folders were empty.
Set auto save time to 5 minutes... Rebooted. Restarted PS and created a new file - test01.psd. Saved it. Did some work, didn't save... kept checking... (played games for 15 mins). Checked. Both AutoRecover files remained empty.
Crashed the system (forced shutdown). Auto recover option and the test file was not showing up in the recent files list... opened the original test01.psd. No work subsequent to the original save showed up. Nor any recovery option. Did some more work on the file... just checked... both the AutoRecover folders are still empty.
(Just closed PS and saw that the PS temp file deleted itself. Both the AutoRecovery folders remain - empty.}
So, my questions are:
1. Is there a 'Permissions' attribute i need to set? Or...
2. Is the AutoRecover messed up? Or...
3. Is the installation messed up and should i advise a reinstallation?
TIA....

Neil...
Think you can somehow help... Have done the following, again today:
1. Uninstalled the entire CS Suite. This includes registry and folders
2. Ran the Adobe CS6 Cleanup tool - twice. Once for the entire suite and a second time for PS
3. Ran a registry clean up program
4. Did a Disk defragment - not really important, but still
5. Rebooted between various stages...
6. Reinstalled CS6 Master Collection minus some programs which are not needed such as Flash, AI 32 bit, etc. But installed both versions of PS
7. Validated using PS
8. Started - separately - both versions of PS. Set scratch to E drive (primary partition - 100GB) and Autorecover to 5 mins
9. Ran both versions of PS and opened and modified a file
In each case, the 'PSAutoRecover' folder was created on the scratch drive - E:\ alongwith the PS temp file. But the 'PSAutoRecover' folder never got populated.
Must be something unique to this system but can't figure out what. It can't be a permissions issue because both the scratch file and the autorecover folder are being created.
BTW... all Adobe entries in the config.sys startup are disabled - except for the Adobe CS6 Service Manager. But can't be those either as they are all related to updates, Acrobat, etc.
Yet, putting the primary scratch on C;\ solves the problem. However, as both Curt and you have tested, that should not be an issue...
(Have not been able to check on any other system as this is the only one that has CS6.)
System specs: Intel i5 processor, 12gb RAM, 64bit Win 7, P-55 USB3 Motherboard
Grateful for any suggestions / ideas...
Cheers...

My Junk and Deleted Mailboxes have vanished.

When I upgraded to Yosemite, both my Junk Mail and Deleted Items mailboxes in Mail have vanished. I can neither find them or create new ones. If I delete something accidentally, or if a new sender gets tagged as Junk my mistake, I can't recover the emails.
HELP!

Regarding the Outbox mailbox with Tiger Mail, check
this link.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mail/2.0/
en/ml1105.html
No Junk icon/folder is available in the mailboxes
drawer when Junk Mail is set to Training. Is Junk
Mail set to Training or Automatic?
Okay, sort of solved!
I had Mail's junk preferences selected as perform custom actions. However, if I put it in training, will it 'learn' what I decide as junk insofar as, when I select automatic again, it'll 'know' what I've previously decided as junk?
Sorry for being a pain!

Mail in Inbox and Sent folders Have Within a Specificed Date Have Vanished

Friends,
For the second time in history, the mail in my inbox and sentbox have completely vanished, leaving an odd hole in my archives. Emails from the previous two months show up, but emails from before this date have vanished.
Likewise with my Sent folder. I have old email from 2006 but it jumps from August '06 to May 2007! Where did the emails inbetween go? I have always had the option to NEVER delete sent emails selected, but somehow they're gone nonetheless.
I can't even locate email from last week, let alone a few months ago. I was lucky when this happened before because I had just backed up my Mail folder and contents, but now it's happened again! I've rebuilt the mailbox several times, have tried to reaccess my server, but to no avail.
I can understand a size limit on the server for the inbox, but not for the sent folder.
I've read the discussions up and down, but frankly haven't been able to peg anyone else's issue as my own when it gets down to the details.
I'm running a POP.
Thanks in advance for ANY help.
Kelly

You’re welcome.
If the *.emlx files associated with those messages are gone from the filesystem, rebuilding mailboxes or re-creating the index cannot make them reappear.
There is no way to know what may have happened if you don’t know when it happened and what did you do that could have a bearing on it. What you mention about moving data between computers could certainly have a bearing on it when it happened the first time, but there is no way to know what the problem exactly was in that case either with the information you’ve provided...
If the messages are nowhere to be found and you don’t have a backup, you may try to salvage as many deleted *.emlx files as possible with a data recovery tool such as Data Rescue II, TechTool Pro, or FileSalvage. Of these, the only one I know for sure that can currently recover deleted *.emlx files is FileSalvage. Beware, however, that anything you’ve done with the computer since the messages were deleted may have caused them to be overwritten, which makes me believe your chances of recovering them now are pretty low...

Keywords Have Vanished

Using Lightroom 3; Windows 7 as OS.
When creating my catalogues, I made sure that under the Preferences / Presets I had removed the tick from the option to store keywords with a catalogue. My understanding being that the keywords would remain "within the programme" and so available for which ever catalogue one might be working with.
On opening the programme today, my keyword list was missing with some 30,000 images NOT being in the count I saw when I last used the programme earlier this week.
I can see a small number of keywords but not all that I had created.
Those that are there are not in the groupings I had put them.
I haven't hidden anything accidentally - have checked for that.
I haven't selected an alternative keyword list inadvertently.
Having backed up my files a little while ago, is there a way to export that keyword list and then import it into my current catalogue status?
Any suggestions please? All advice most gratefully received.
Cheers, Tony

Linda,
do you mean this thread: Disappearing keywords
I checked to see if the 2 keywords that have vanished were listed in the keyword HUD.
How did you check?
Sometimes it helps to enter the keyword, or a part of it, into the searchfield, and then to open all disclosure triangles. The keywords are hierarchical, and they may be hidden in subcategories of other keywords. This way, you can have duplicate keywords, that are not identical, if they are appearing at different levels in the hierarchy.
For example: In my library are two different keywords "family", one in the Stock categories personal section and one in my own custom keywords section of the HUD:

All items in my sidebar have vanished, except under "Devices."

All items in my sidebar have vanished, except those under "Devices." I have all sidebar items checked in preferences. It is maddening. Please help.

I can't remember if this works in 10.6.8, but hover the mouse on the top right side of the Sidebar across from Favorites and see if it reveals "Show". If so click Show
It works that way in ML

... the owner's permissions have vanish

We have at least 80 macs connected to various xserve's all running the latest OS (10.4.x) Server and (10.5.x) Client. When a network user logins in and recieves a home directory mounted through AFP (Share is not using ACLs) we find that in several cases when they perform a change permissions on a sharing files or folders shared, the owner's permissions have vanish.
It's very helpfully to use the "root" user to change this but we can't do that all day ? ... Help

See in mailing-list [email protected]
Date: Wed, 1 Oct 2008 17:40:29 -0400
From: "Morgan Aldridge" <[email protected]>
Subject: Re: Permission change issues on AFP volume
To: "David Haines" <[email protected]>
I would recommend avoiding collisions of "POSIX" and ACL permissions.
I can see why.
And I've generally avoided trying to make client-side changes to server-side
file-permissions via a mounted sharepoint.
See the section on AFP in
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Security/Conceptual/SecurityOverview/Concepts/chapter_3_section_9.html#//appleref/doc/uid/TP30000976-CH203-CHDJJGBF
I guess, in general, I'm just not understanding why straight POSIX permissions doesn't function properly. But, obviously it doesn't, at least with regard to allowing users to change permissions via AFP.
The reason users attempt to change permissions is because of the old,"I created it so the rest of the group only had r-x permissions and I need them to have rwx permission," case. Which with ACLs, because of inheritance, they shouldn't run into anymore.
So, I guess I just have to try to migrate over from POSIX permissions to ACLs with as few collisions as possible (to preserve sanity).
Thanks for everyone that humored me and actually helped me take troubleshooting steps to realize that I was just seeing broken POSIX permissions and that I need to dump them for ACLs (without seeing with my own eyes, it didn't make any sense as to why or exactly what I was butting up against).

Messages accounts have vanished

I installed Messages and set up my iCloud account. I also added my google talk and facebook account. Several hours later all my accounts have vanished and Preferences menu item was grayed out. Restarting the application didn't help.
The notification badge is also stuck at 2.

I think I had the same problem as you're describing. Restarting the Mac fixed it.

Songs have vanished

Hello all, Can anyone help me out with a problem that has surfaced over the past week. All of my songs in my liabrary have vanished i.e. Your Music > Your Songs. All of my downloaded playlists are still there and I can play those, but everything that was not in a playlist has disappeared and plus, I used to be able to shuffle through my entire catalogue without having to go into playlists. Does anyone know what might have happened? Thanks

I am having this same exact problem.Logging out than back in did not solve it, and reinstalling Spotify did not solve it.

Iphone crashed, restarted; contacts & email have VANISHED

So I was adding an event into my iPhone Calendar today when all of a sudden it just took the liberty upon itself to randomly restart. The screen blacked out, I saw the ring o'processing, my life flashed before my eyes, and then the apple icon appeared. When it had finished powering back up, the first thing I saw on my screen was the "Add Account" section of the "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" option in "Settings".
ALL of my contacts, my email accounts, and all the dates and appointments I had put into my calendar have VANISHED.
I am trying not to panic, but let me tell you, this is panic worthy. I backed my iPhone up with iTunes not too long ago, but do the backups automatically include contacts, calendars, and email information??
I can't find any mention of contacts, calendars, or email in itunes, and I don't even know how to restore my phone using the backup I made recently.
Can anybody help??
Please and thank you!

Apple is seriously losing my faith. My next phone may have to be an Android...
Why wait? Take a sledge hammer to your iPhone and get an Androgyny now!!
Whatever you do, don't read the Androgyny forums about their reliability to make an informed decision before going ahead....

Help my rushes have vanished!!!
