IMovie suddenly stopped functioning properly

iMovie has worked fine in the past, but now I try dragging clips to make a new project and they won't appear. What is going on and how do I fix it?

That was actually the first thing I checked and it's all enabled, but what you said sparked the idea that something else about the browser had to be interfering so I went down the line with the Firefox extensions on the computer I'm testing on, and sure enough, one of them was recently updated and has a bad string of code in it.

Thank you!

I found the solution to a Mavericks bug on the Mail program. How can I share it? Several of my mail boxes stopped functioning properly when I updated to Mavericks. After long hours, I discovered that if I change the name of the mailbox, the content works.

I found the solution to a Mavericks bug on the Mail program. How can I share it? Several of my mail boxes stopped functioning properly when I updated to Mavericks. The title of the mails stored in the mailbox appear, but the content was unavailable.
After 4 long hours at the phone with the Apple staff unable to help me, I discovered that if I change the name of the mailbox, the contents of the mails stored there become available.
Please, make this solution available to other people!

You have found the the way to share it. Include your problem and its solution in a forum post in the Mavericks forums. Then mark you own post with a green solved star.

Junk mail filter has suddenly stopped working properly

I have reset it twice, and put it in training mode. While training, it works just fine...catches the things it's supposed to and let's the safe stuff through. But when I switch it back to have it auto-filter the junk mail into the junk mailbox, it starts misidentifying everything again. Tons of junk gets through, it doesn't filter out the junk it does catch (leaves it in the inbox), and identifies things as junk that aren't - especially annoying for regular items that I receive.
Any ideas on why this has suddenly stopped? I haven't changed or adjusted any of the rules. I tried going in and changing up the identification colors just to see if that would help, but no luck.
I have three email addresses where I receive mail. Two are set up as POP accounts, and one is an IMAP account. It doesn't seem to matter which account is receiving the junk mail, and it actually gets worse with time rather than better.
Thanks for the help.

Are you really using Mac OS X 10.4.2, as your profile indicates?
There is probably some corruption in one or more of the files used by the junk filter. The following procedure should fix the problem:
1. Quit Mail.
2. In the Finder, go to ~/Library/Mail/.
3. Locate LSMMap2 and move it to the Trash -- deleting this file is what clicking the Reset button in Preferences > Junk Mail does. If you see an LSMMap file there, move it to the Trash too.
4. Locate DefaultCounts and move it to the Trash. This file keeps statistics about the number of messages that have been marked as junk, either automatically by the junk filter or manually by the user.
5. Locate MessageRules.plist and move it to the Desktop. This is where Mail 2.x stores all rules, including those used by the junk filter. If there is a file called MessageRules.plist.backup, move it to the Desktop too. You may also see MessageSorting.plist files there; this is where Mail 1.x stored the rules, and they are no longer used by Mail 2.x, so just move them to the Trash if you see them.
6. Look for the account folders. The name of each account folder starts with the account type (POP, IMAP, Mac), followed by the account username and the incoming mail server. Open each of the account folders, locate the Junk.mbox or Junk.imapmbox folder within it, and move it to the Trash if present.
7. Go to ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/. Locate any Junk.mbox folders there (their name may include the account name in parenthesis), and move them to the Trash.
Note: Messages in Junk folders with an .mbox suffix are stored locally, and will be lost forever as a result of doing steps 6 and 7. If there is a chance that you have legit messages there and you want to preserve them, move them to another mailbox in Mail first. Messages in Junk folders with an .imapmbox suffix are stored on the server and can be ignored (Mail will rebuild those mailboxes automatically).
8. Open Mail. As a result of removing the rules file, the junk filter will be disabled now. You may want to either tell Mail to go offline immediately after opening it, or shut down the Internet connection before opening Mail, to prevent it from downloading anything until the junk mail filter has been enabled again.
9. Go to Mail > Preferences > Junk Mail, enable junk filtering, and configure it however you wish.
10. Go online again if you went offline in step 8.
If the above solves the problem and you don't have any rules you'd like to preserve or recreating them is not a daunting task, just delete the MessageRules.plist files that were moved to the Desktop and be done with it.
Note: For those not familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers to the user's home folder. You can easily locate any of the folders referred to in this post by copying the file path here, doing Go > Go to Folder in the Finder, and pasting the file path there.

I have OSX 10.4.11 and want to view my iCloud mail in my mail app, how do I do that, as my mail has stopped functioning properly.

I have a 2006 Macbook with osx 10.4.11. I want to view my iCloud mail in my mail app. Currently, my mail app is not functioning properly because it can not go online. I imagine this has to do with the rollover to iCloud. Will I be able to view my .mac mail in my mail app with iCloud, despite the fact I am operating with an obvious antiquated osx?
Thanks in advance for your help

Facetime on my IPad (IOS 7.0.2) has suddennly stopped functioning. What could be the reason and how can the problem be rectified ?

As for the downgrade Sorry, but Apple does not provide a downgrade path for iOS.
Because downgrading is unsupported by Apple we cannot discuss it on these forums, but you can use Google to find information on how to install an older version of iOS on any device.
Feel free to let Apple know at http://www.apple.com/feedback
I'd recommend you to restore your device as new in recovery mode and start from there:

Preview in iMovie suddenly stopped working

I was working on a project, and suddenly the preview window, on te right stopped working.
I can't edit the project anymore, can't view it, can't export it, ..
I tried a lot of thing, like reinstalling imovie, moving the files, rebooting, ...
Nothing seems to work
Help me out please
PS: previewing imported clips does work

Cool! I've been seeing a lot of messages on the iMovie Discussion Group with similar symptoms. And one of the newer contributors to the list (calbe) kept recommending doing this step, of moving the last project out of the folder. And to my surprise it worked consistently. So now I'm recommending it to anyone who has a crash, lockup or any kind of Force Quit that then leads to iMovie being completely unstable afterwards.
And if you have the time or interest, as a further preventative measure you can also try moving the iMovie Preference file out of the Library. This forces iMovie to create a new preferences file. The benefit would be that Preferences file is notorious for causing problems after a Force Quit sometimes. To find the preference file go to the Mac Desktop and choose the Go Menu > *Hold down the Option key (this reveals the Library folder), click on Library (it appears grayed out but you can click on it. Inside of the Library>Preferences>com.apple.iMovieApp.plist (drag that file to the trash or the desktop). Make sure you have quit iMovie before doing this step, after you move the preference .plist file, open iMovie and make sure all your Events/Projects are visible and you can skim them with photos, titles all showing up.
Deleting the iMovie preferences file is not a requirement but more a preventative measure to keep iMovie humming along.

I have been having problems with my FaceTime for the last few weeks. Up to then I was able to use it daily and then it suddenly stopped functioning. I have 4 friends in the same situation. Is there a problem centrally with Apple? Anyone else with problems

I have been using FaceTime regularly over the past year or so and suddenly it has stopped working. It seems to dial up and says its connecting and then just switches off. I have a number of other friends who are also having problems with this and also on their iPhones. Does anyone have an answer to this problem?

Make sure all parties are running IOS 7.1.1

Click links & right mouse button copy suddenly stop functioning. Closing Firefox no longer actually closes the browser without restarting the PC. What gives?

Whether in open or private browsing, Firefox suddenly becomes non-functioning, as noted. (Seemingly) closing the browser to run CCleaner, the popup tells me I must shut down Firefox to clear the cache. Only remedy: restart the computer to reset.
Avast is my antivirus; I also run Ad-Aware, Spybot, Spyware Blaster and -- manually -- Malwarebytes. The latest quirk: running CCleaner's registry scan, "unassociated" .tif/.msn OpenFilesWith errors issues appear daily.
I've been in the middle of making an online reservation or payment, only to find the print confirmation link unresponsive; ditto for right-click, which produces an empty dropdown window (leaving me with only a select text, Ctrl C option to paste to an email.
Help!

Hi Kossa,
You can also check if the issue occurs in
Clean Boot. If the issue disappears in the Clean Boot environment, you can continue to narrow down which entry is causing the issue.
Besides, uninstall it and re-download
a fresh copy of FireFox to check the result. If the issue still exists, create a new user account to see if it occurs.
If the issue persists, you can contact Mozilla Support directly and use Internet Explorer (IE) during the time.

Javascript suddenly stopped functioning in Firefox?

I'm working with a site that stopped working in Firefox randomly. This piece of code is populating into the html each time I try to update, and I'm trying to understand it. I haven't made any changes to the javascript used in the site but whatever this is has completely disabled all the site elements that use javascript. The kicker is that it only happens in Firefox. Chrome works perfectly. I've been poring over the html all day and this is the only thing that's wrong with it- I'm at my wit's end, any ideas?
<script type="text/javascript" id="RTCEarlyScript"> window.oldSetTimeout=window.setTimeout;window.setTimeout=function(func,delay){return window.oldSetTimeout(function(){try{if(!document.documentElement.getAttribute('stopTimers ')){if(typeof func=='string') {var nfunc = new Function(func); nfunc();} else func();}}catch(ex){}},delay);}; window.oldSetInterval=window.setInterval;window.setInterval=function(func,delay){return window.oldSetInterval(function(){try{if(!document.documentElement.getAttribute('stopTimer s')){if(typeof func=='string') {var nfunc = new Function(func); nfunc();} else func();}}catch(ex){}},delay);}; </script>

That was actually the first thing I checked and it's all enabled, but what you said sparked the idea that something else about the browser had to be interfering so I went down the line with the Firefox extensions on the computer I'm testing on, and sure enough, one of them was recently updated and has a bad string of code in it.

Why did form fields suddenly stop functioning or calculating!!!

All the forms I have created stopped working from one day to the next. The numbers I enter in a field that have to change to dates, dollar amounts, and/or totals, won't do anything. I have used these forms for over a year without a problem, until now. Why is it doing this? We use these on a daily basis and need these calculations. We have to enter calculations in manually which defeat the purpose of this feature. Please help.

Answers:
1. Form was created in Acrobat 9 Standard.
2. We repeatedly open this form and save as something different. Other forms, we open often as well and just save (to replace).
3. I have attached one of the forms. The odd thing is that its the same case with ALL of our forms without exception.
4. Usage rights should not be restricted
5. We are using Acrobat 9 Standard

Operating win 7 and latest verstion of firefox, my boostmobile website suddenly stopped functioning. My account opens for a moment then goes black. Why?

IChat suddenly stopped working

I'm on an iMac 2.8ghz Intel Duo running OS 10.4.10 connecting via Airport
After 2 years (on my iBook and then my new iMac) the iChat suddenly stopped working properly 2 days ago. It allows me to see the people in my buddy list but when I ring them for a video chat, they can't see my ringing to accept, and when they ring me, I can't see their invitation. Sometimes I can text them, but it's only worked a couple of times and then not for very long.
I thought perhaps there was something wrong with the program on my iMac, but it does the same thing on my laptop.
I called my ISP thinking it may be the modem. We reset the modem and made sure the firewall level was set to OFF, but still no difference.
I tried some of the suggestions I read here in the forum such as changing the Quicktime speed and making sure the bandwith limit was set to None, even downloaded the newest version of Flip4mac.
I'm totally baffled. I can log on, see my buddies and they see me, but we can no longer chat or IM.
Thanks for any input.

Keys Suddenly Stopped Working

My wife's black MacBook keyboard has suddenly stopped functioning correctly, it had slept overnight and had stopped working, no shutdowns or restarts. The 7 u j m and the ; ' keys are unresponsive in higher and lower case. I have tried resetting the PRAM and have updated it to OSX 10.5.8 but this hasn't resolved the issue.
What worries me is that the 7 u j m keys are in a descending diagonal line and the ; and ' keys are next to each other so its looking like a hardware issue but why would all six keys stop working all at once and not start failing one after the other?
Thanks for any advice in advance.

This is precisely the reason that 7ujm would all quit working at once, the fact that they are all in one column. The keyboard wiring is laid out in a matrix of rows and columns. If one column conductor fails then the entire column has to fail. This still can be failed hardware but not the keyboard itself, rather the circuitry that reads the keyboard.
However, I would still give odds of 9:1 that it is a software problem and thusly solvable with no expense. Try logging into another User Account. Create one if need be.

Touchscreen suddenly stopped working

Hi all,
After about an hour of working this morning, my touch screen suddenly stopped functioning. I have tried using it with and without an external mouse plugged in, but nothing seems to work. Initially I was able to see the Touch menu under the Control Panel, but after restarting it has disappeared.
I searched for calibration options and after selecting "View Pen and Touch Info" it reads "No pen or touch info is available for this display". I've had this computer for a few months now and this is the first issue I've had with the touch screen. I haven't installed any updates overnight that would have disrupted anything.
Is there a driver or anything I can download to fix this?
