IMovie shows up in Mission Control, but doesn't open when clicked.

Can't open iMovie. iMovie shows up in Mission Control, but doesn't open when clicked. It just disappears up in the top left corner of the screen. The controls on the top of the screen (like; iMovie, File, Edit, View, Text, Share, etc) are al there, and they seem to work, but the window just won't show up.
It happened after installing Mountain Lion on my Macbook Pro.
Any ideas?

Disable screen saver. Restart.

Hello,
I have a user who has problems opening Adobe XI. I have searched the forums for answers and tried a number of things. I was hoping someone had a clear explanation for this issue or any additional suggestions.

Solutions attempted:
Repair the installation
Reinstalled the software
Adjusted registry settings
Solutions to try:
Delete the user profile
Change the Enable Protect Mode at startup settings
End all task related to Adobe and try to open
Thanks,

Apps show in mission control but won't open after it has gone to screen saver

I have three desk tops open on Mission Control, plus dash board. If I leave the computer and come back later and go to the desk top there is nothing there. When I click on the app it shows it is open, but just flashes and then it is gone. I have set the app, under options, to be on a particular desktop. I have to close out the app and reopen it to see it.

Disable screen saver. Restart.

Documents visible in mission control but won't open

I am having difficulty accessing open files.
When I attempt to open a power point presentation from the Finder, power point opens, and I can see the file opening but then nothing appears.
When I then go to mission control I can see the images of all the power point presentations I've been working on, but when I try to click on any of them my desktop opens but none of the powerpoint files are there.
Does anyone have any idea how or where I have hidden them?
They are completely inaccessible right now, even though they are all visible in the mission control window.
Thanks for any help!
I'm using a Macbook Air, Lion 10.7 and Office for Mac 2011

Try this:
Right-click the Powerpoint icon in the dock and choose:
Options > Assign to Desktop > None

PSD shows small view in bridge but doesn`t open in photoshop..help?

Hydro shuut off and PC too and I can see just the small view in bridge and not full screen but it won`t open in photoshop cs3. Any help would be great. I tried illurstator, and infaview..nothing helped so far. File is 183 mb

I'm sorry to hear of your loss of data.
I'm also sorry to have to say that people can almost never recover damaged PSD files. This is one reason Photoshop CS6 is coming out with an Auto Save function.
Did you save your master file in several different locations, or do you have a backup? Make sure you protect any backed-up files ASAP, before they're overwritten by the corrupted one.
What do you see when you right-click the PSD file, and choose Previous Versions (assuming you have Vista or Win7)?
Under some conditions there's a possibility of recovering a flattened version from a truncated PSD file, depending on how you have your settings (maximize compatibility causes a flattened preview to be saved at the front of the file).

Mail doesn't open when clicking on hyperlinked email addresses on websites

I have never had a problem with Mail opening automatically if I click on a hyperlinked email address. Suddenly instead of launching Mail, clicking on the hyperlinked address opens an invalid Google page.
I've tried doing this in both Safari and Firefox and the same thing happens. I also have a Gmail account and this has only started happening since my Google Notifier stopped working. If I click on that it also takes me to an invalid Google page.
Is my Mac Mini possessed?

Thanx, Ernie. Mail is selected and now everything seems to be working, including the Google notifier. I deleted a bunch of cookies and emptied the cache so maybe that did something. Plus I rebooted after downloading the latest software updates from Apple.
Do you have any suggestions of routine maintenance I can do on a regular basis to make sure my hard drive doesn't get too cluttered with junk?

I downloaded Firefox 4.0 beta but can't open when clicked on icon or programs list

I downloaded firefox 4.0 beta on my Dell computer ( Vista ) on 2-23-11. I have internet explorer but cannot get into my blackboard learning system at Salt Lake Community college with that. Apparently, firefox is the preferred. My class is online, so this creates a real problem. Help, please, and quickly if possible. Thanks, Sally

After saving the file which is likely called "Firefox Setup 4.0.1.exe" you need to run it to install Firefox 4.
If you do not clear the downloads from the download manager, you can run the installer from the downloads manager. Open the download manager, then right-click on the Firefox setup file and select Open. As soon as you start running the setup file, close Firefox. You need to do this so that the setup file can replace the files in the Firefox installation directory.

Why does the Safari PDF viewer plugin show up in mission control?

Whenever I swipe to activate mission control the PDF viewer plugin of Safari shows. This obviously doesn't happen if I do not have a tab with a PDF active in the browser, but why does it show anyway? I have tested Firefox and Chrome and their PDF plugins do not show in the mission control view, so why does Safari's? How can I get rid of this? It makes loading expose' view a little choppy (compared to when I dont have to use a PDF in Safari) and looks weird. I have attached an image of how this looks.

It's almost certainly too late.
The time to create a backup is before a catastrophe. After a catastrophe, it's too late.

Project launches iMovie HD, but doesn't open

I have an edit on iMovie HD, which for some reason launches iMovie, but doesn't open. Has anyone got any suggestions?

Try deleting the imovie preference file.
Close Imovie.
Then locate a file named com.apple.imovie.plist and get rid of it. Then empty the trash, run a permissions repair with disk utility and restart. That should do it. The files you need to delete are found in:
/Users/YourName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.imovie.plist

My battery drained. Screen shows battery with red line but doesn't seem to be recharding after 20 min. Should I wait or do a hard restart? I haven't backedup in ages and don't want to lose pics, contacts etc.

My battery drained. Pluged in to wall but screen shows battery with red line but doesn't seem to be recharding after 20 min. Should I wait longer or do a hard restart? I haven't backedup in ages and don't want to lose pics, contacts etc. Will a hard restart wipe all that out?

Agree with Richard:
-Your device needs both the CR and LF. To accomplish this:
option 1: Concatenate the "end of line" string constant (this is a combination of CR and LF, located in the string pallete) to all your outgoing commands. Make sure in the "Visa configure serial port" the "Termination character enable" flag is false.
option 2: Concatenate only a CR to your command's strings. Make sure in the "Visa configure serial port" the "Termination character enable" flag is TRUE AND that the termination character is set to 10 (meaning LF) which I think is the default.
Details can be seen in this link:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/862567530005F09C862565BE005AB500
"Adding Termination Characters to VISA Serial Writes in LabVIEW"
Interesting would be to configure the serial port to accept not one but two termination characters. The above links refers to the document "Developer Zone Tutorial: Termination Characters in NI-VISA.", where this is supposed to be possible. The document however is 404'ed.
If someone find a working link please post it.

How do i get video from my sony hx100 digital camera to my mac? after connecting the camera via the supplied usb cable, iMovie shows icons for 5 videos, but none will load.

i've connected the camera to the mac using the supplied usb cable. imovie shows 5 icons for videos but all of them have the red circle with slash through them and the box to import them is grayed out.

Get a nice Sony miniDV camcorder. It is not too expensive; it is small and easy to carry around to shoot your video. Most importantly, it will be instantly compatible with iMovie. You don't have to install any software, just connect it via FireWire (Sony calls this iLink) and you are good to go!
I have had several Sonys and love them. You don't need one with fancy editing capabilities because you will edit your movies in iMovie. Just be sure that it has AV In and Out so you can import and export back to the camcorder.
My current version is the small DCR HC-26. There are newer versions of that HC-30something and 40something. Look at the specs on Sony's website
Some of them require the use of a dock to import and export. I am not really fond of that feature. I like just connecting directly to the camera.

SSI shows up correctly in DW but doesn't show up in browser.

I am trying to update the company website here at work using Dreamweaver 4 and the copyright information at the bottom of the page is in an ssi file. The file shows up fine in Dreamweaver but doesn't show up at all in either of my browers (Safari/Firefox). What am I doing wrong?

SSIs are parsed by the server. You're probably not doing anything wrong, you simply need to upload the files to your remote server and look at the pages on-line.
If you want to preview local files, you'll need to install a local testing server on your machine. Get one of the following servers for your OS and follow the installation instructions.
