I can see my project in the movies folder but cannot open it, why?

I have been working on a project for three hours, the FCP quits unexpectedly and when I restart the prgram the project is gone as if I never started it. I can see the project in the Movies folder but it will not open. What am i doing wrong?

Can you provide us with a screen grab of the folder so we can see the current structure.

I can see my laptop on the local network, but cannot connect to it

I run my MacBook Pro on a couple of different local networks, at work and at home. When on another computer on the network, I can see the MacBook in the Shared section of the Finder, but when I try to connect to it, it just hangs. An external party who used to be able to connect to my computer for troubleshooting our business software (using a program called Timbuktu) can no longer connect to my laptop either. When on the MacBook however, I can see and connect to other Shared computers without a problem. I have File Sharing enabled. Is there a security preference I am missing somewhere?
Thanks!

I can see my guitar in the VU meter but I have no sound on my Ipad

Same problem. Created iMovie (version 9.0.9) project on 2.93 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Mac running 10.8.4. Closed down iMovie. When I reopen iMovie the project is not listed despite the fact it appears in Finder within the iMovie Project Folder. I've tried opening it direct from Finder but still it does not show up in iMovie. I've restored it from Time Machine and tried renaming it without luck. Never happened before. Would appreciate clues how to rescue the project so I don't have to create it again (with the risk that will disappear as well).

hello
The problem appeared two days ago is that I can't open my mail app. everything was fine and functional. Now I double click on the icon and it does not respond. it receives mail and I can see push notifications on the mail icon but when I try to open it is no use. OS Y 10.10.2 (14C1514)

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Restart the computer. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. Any custom stationery that you created may be lost. Ask for instructions if you want to preserve that data. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*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.

Try user folder/Movies.

Why can't I delete all incoming messages at once without having to select each one first. It can be done while in the "Trash" folder, but not the "IN" folder.

Well, what I see happing is this: Tapping edit and checking the first message brings up the “Delete” option. Holding it until the red message “Delete Message” appears, then letting go of the red button and tapping the checked button makes the “Delete Message” message go away. The checked message is still checked with an option to delete just that message. Tap the checked message again just cancels the whole process and I’m back to square one.
However, if I check a message that is part of a thread of messages and tap Delete, I have the option of deleting all messages in the thread.
Perhaps the fact that I’m using the 3rd generation of the iPad is the problem, but your suggestion isn’t working.

Nothing shows up on my Desktop. I can put a file into the Desktop folder but it will not appear on the DTop. The HarDrive is not on the DTop either.

Nothing appears on my Desktop. The Finder seems to work, so I can place a file into the DTop folder, but nothing appears on the DTop, not even the HarDrive.

You can temporarily hide the crap on your desktop. Edit the CreateDesktop key in com.apple.finder:
defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop -bool false && killall Finder
Then, to get my clutter back:
defaults write com.apple.finder CreateDesktop -bool true && killall Finder

I have downloaded the NUMBERS App, but cannot open it. Any ideas?

I bought an ipad2 yesterday and downloaded the NUMBERS App but cannot make it work. I cannot open it. Unfortunately I am not used to ipads so maybe I'm missing something.
HELP Please

Did you use the mac app store? If so, you downloaded it for a Mac.
If you downloaded from the iTunes application, or from the iPad itself, then on the iPad, go to the home page, and press the home button once to bring up search (you may have to press it again) Type in Numbers. Does anything come up?

HT3523 I can play an .mov file but cannot open it to move it to another drive/disc/etc. When we try to open it, we get a message that says "The movie file for "beanmine.mov" cannot be found. Without this file, the movie cannot play properly."

We can play a .mov file (a full-length film created in final cut pro) but cannot actually open it in QuickTime. We get the error message saying that a file is missing, and the movie can't play properly without the file. The thing is, we can play the film, we just can't open it to move it to another drive. Help?
Also, can the lost file (which was deleted) be recovered from a Mac HD or an external hard drive?
Help!

Sounds like you created a "Reference" file here. I.e., a "Reference" file is a file that tells the player how to play the data contained in a "Resource" file. When you try to open the "Reference" file in the QT Player app, the first thing the player does is check to see if the "Resource" data file is is still available where it is supposed to be. (I.e., moving/deleting the resource file or moving reference file without moving the resource file to maintain the relative path between the two will generate the error message you mentioned.)
Also, can the lost file (which was deleted) be recovered from a Mac HD or an external hard drive?
That depends. Deleting a file does not actually erase the data immediately. Instead, the operating system just tells the system directory that the space containing the movie data is available for reuse if/when needed. As time passes, the chance that some of the data sectors will be re-written by other data continuously increases. To restore the file normally requires use of a special utility that both locates and restores all of the linked sectors containing the "deleted" movie data in their correct order. Other methods of restoring files would depend on the software you routinely have active on your system. For instance, do you use "TimeMachine?" or orther software that automatically backs up your data periodically? If so, then follow the instructions for your particular application to recover a deleted file.

HT203167 I can see my purchases in the ITunes store but when I try to down load them I get an Error Code 5105 and the download stops

I can see my purchases (movies specifically) in the ITunes Store when I filter to purchased but when I try to down load the movie it starts to down load and then says Unable to Download Error Code 5105. Can anyone help?

Hi, I had this problem when I first went to use iTunes with iCloud. using Windows 8 OS. Everytime I tried to download from iCloud error 5105 came up... not sure this will work for everyone, but pretty simple, I closed iTunes and restarted it and everything worked fine

I can see my photo in the events window but I can't see the actual photo

I can see the preview of the photo but when I try to open it I get a gray exclamation point. How do I find the original and or why is this happening?

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Is there a way to configure win 8 Laptop to airport express? I can see the connection to the wireless network, but troubleshooter suggests there's there is no gateway and of course no internet. The connection
shows limited. Any help you could provide would be most appreciated. Further, should I simply buy another router for the windows machine? If I did that, would it interfere with the airport?

The internal HDDs must be formatted in either EXT3 or EXT4 file system because NSS uses Linux OS. This is mainly because the RAM designed to fit with the customized Linux OS's size.
You can connect to an external HDD via a USB or eSATA port. The external HDD's file system can be NTFS, FAT32, AFT or EXT3/4 to be recognized for read/write. You can connect a 2TB USB/eSATA drive connec to the NSS via USB port to format your HDD for NTFS, AFT, FAT32, or EXT3/4 partition.
You can join the NSS to a Windows domainr so all domain users to access NSS. You cannot replace the NSS for the Windows 2003 SP2 server. They are two different products and do different jobs. Windows server is features sets server while the NSS is the files/data server.
Hope that helps!!

When I launch Firefox (both 3.6 and 4), I get the 'tab' on the task bar, but cannot open it! When I launch it a second time, it works fine, and continues to work when I close the first, non-working version!

I click on the firefox icon, a 'taskbar' tab appears, but nothing happens and I cannot open it. If I then click again on the icon or on the desktop icon, it works! Everything worked fine till this morning!
Running WinXP SP4.

A few general trouble shooting tips that may apply here:
1. If you used Software Update to do the OS update(s) to reach 10.6.7, go to http://support.apple.com/downloads/ and download and apply the Mac OS v10.6.7 Combo Updater. The Combo Updater contains some fixes that were not included in the incremental updaters used by Software Update.
1a. Check that you have the current version of Pages (and of the other iWork applications) installed. All three applications' current version numbers end in .0.5
2. A common cause of malfunctioning applications is a corrupted preferences file (.plist file). Your Pages '09's plist is at yourname > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iWork.pages.plist
Quit Pages, locate the file and Drag it to the Desktop (or to the Trash).
Restart Pages and attempt to open one of the files.
If all is well, Trash the plist file and empty the Trash.
If there's no change, AND you've made changes to the Preferences that you wish to keep, drag the file back to its previous location, replacing any new one that has been created.

Barry

Screen content image is too big. I can see very little of the screen content.I cannot enter my passcode.

iPhone 4s. 64GB. Recently installed iOS 8. The problem happened suddenly upon booting the phone. The screen content image is expanded way beyond the size of the screen. Therefore almost nothing is visible. It is possible to move different parts of the content into view, but this is very limited. Using fingers to try to shrink the screen content image does not work. I have tried booting by holding down the start button and the home button together. I still get the expanded screen content image. Finally, because of this problem I am unable to enter my passcode. Unfortunately I do not have a backup on my MacBook Air. iTunes will not recognize my iPhone because I have not entered the passcode.

Hi pm90,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like the Zoom feature may have been activated on your iPhone. I know the Zoom can be very frustrating when you cannot turn it off. Please follow the steps in the following article to disable the Zoom accessibility feature.
iOS: Home screen icons are magnified or large
Have a great day,
Joe
