Library and other windows refusing to show up

Hi,
I'm currently running Motion 3 and when I want to start from scratch it goes through the normal setup but then the main window doesn't appear so I would have to goto file - New Project and it will then appear, but the library browser and File browser doesn't show up at all, I've pressed the button at the top of the window and even went to the Window drop down but it still will not show up. It used to work but now it doesn't. Could someone please help me?
Thanks
Leon

Could be a preferences file problem - to quote Mark Spencer:
You need to delete the preferences file
1) Quit Motion.
2) Navigate to User/Library/Preferences.
3) Locate com.apple.motion.plist and delete
post back,
Patrick

Finder issues and Get Info refusing to show the number of files on items on the main hard drive.

I am having finder issues. Mostly on the main hard drive. It takes ages to find things and I get the spinning wheel every time I open a folder.
So I moved all of my files to a external drive. When I had finished transfering I hit get info on the files on the external drive and on the same folder on the main drive. To ensure that it has copied over all the files. Because it was acting up and not copying all the files.
Get Info refuses to show the number of files within the folders on the main hard drive. It hasppily tells me everything on any of the external drives.
I have reset, the imac. I have re indexed 3 times. I have deleted the finder plist files. I have reset finder using terminal commands. I have moved nearly everything off the main hard drive. But nothing is working.
Can anyone offer any suggestions as to what could be causing my finder and get info issues.
Any help wpuld be appreciated.

Some of your user files (not system files) have incorrect permissions or are locked. This procedure will unlock those files and reset their ownership, permissions, and access controls to the default. If you've intentionally set special values for those attributes, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it, but you do need to follow the instructions below.
Back up all data.
Step 1
If you have more than one user, and the one in question is not an administrator, then go to Step 2.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
sudo find ~ $TMPDIR.. -exec chflags nouchg,nouappnd,noschg,nosappnd {} + -exec chown $UID {} + -exec chmod +rw {} + -exec chmod -N {} + -type d -exec chmod +x {} + 2>&-
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command may take several minutes to run, depending on how many files you have. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign ($) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1, if you prefer not to take it, or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Start up in Recovery mode. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open. In that window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Notes and other fields don't show up in Contacts on my iPod Classic 160GB

I don't know if this is just a bug or if I missed a new option somewhere to hide/show Notes and other fields in Contacts, but they don't show up at all. This problem is specific to the new 160GB iPod I bought today. Notes show up fine on my 4GB Nano (2G) and old 3G iPod.
I would at least like confirmation from some other people that the Notes field is not showing up in your contacts.
I just ran through a few other contacts and it appears this is a more serious sync problem. There is a field listed in my Address Book as "work" that is showing up as "home" on the 160. The field is identified correctly on my nano. I also noticed that the field for the iChat id is completely missing from all the iPods.
This is a pretty serious bug for anyone that uses their iPods for Contacts. Since someone is bound to ask, yes I did try resetting the iPod. I even went as far as completely restoring it from both Windows and the Mac, but always saw the same problem, so I went back to my default Mac setup.

I did another restore and let iTunes move my whole library over before going back to the summary and syncing contacts, but I got the same result. No notes on any contacts and various contact fields that are named incorrectly compared to the Address Book originals.
I would appreciate confirmation of this bug or people with 80/160 classics identifying that notes due show up in their contacts so that I can post an accurate description to the bug report form.
Thanks!

Issues with color panel and other windows on right side of flash

Ok the issue I'm having with flash is that the windows on the right side of my flash window do not snap up when I collapse a window. I am attaching a screen shot to better explain this issue.
As you can see I have the color panel collapsed up, when I expand this panel and it goes down everything shifts down. however when I collapse it back up a huge gap is left behind in CS5.5 as is displayed in screen shot number 2. In CS4 I never had this problem. I could expand and collapse panels as I saw fit with no problems what so ever. Everytime now that I expand a panel and collapse it, the library or other panels do not move up with the collapsing. This causes a workspace issue. and forces me to drag up the library via the black line that is just above it but below the align panel so that I have better access to my library or properties panel for when I'm working. I find this highly annoying and would like it if there could be a fix produced to make it so this collapsing issue can be fixed and I don't have to waste time dragging up the library/properties panel everytime I need to access stuff in my library when I have a huge list of graphics I'm going through.
Thanks

I already tried that, first thing I thought of before coming to the forums for a solution.
Thanks anyways.
Any other ideas?

IMAC deleted all photos, itunes library, and other files! need help on how to recover lost files. everything else is working fine.

After installing the current update for the Mac I noticed that all my pictures, Itunes library and some apps and other files disapeared from the computer. Anyone know any voodoo to bring them back?

Embedding .WMV and other Windows Files on Wiki

Hi everyone. We just moved to cross platform MacBooks for the project I manage. Teachers are creating videos and other things in Photoshop and Premiere on the Windows side. Obviously they can attach the video as an attachment, but is there any way to embed the videos in Snow Leopard Wiki Pages like you can do with Quicktime? Any plug ins or anything like that?
Thanks!

See if [messageID=9232112|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9232112] and [messageID=11560901|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11560901 ] helps with your quest, and see page 33ff in the [Wiki Deployment manual|http://images.apple.com/server/macosx/docs/WikiDeploymentv10.6.pdf] for the steps and for the formats.
Files using the Microsoft Windows-specific WMV format will very likely need to be converted, and media format conversion tools are available.

Differences between 10G intallations for vista and other windows systems

I need Informations about how the installationfiles for vista are differing from the files to install oracle on other windows systems.
And why can't i simply install Oracle Database 10g release 2 (10.2) for Microsoft Windows on a Windows Vista System.
Message was edited by:

Because Microsoft has changed the API with Vista - the system calls that programs such as Oracle (and Symantec, Word Perfect, and so on) use to performs their operations.
It is a strange thing indeed that things stop working when a program (such as Oracle) asks "fetch me data from disk" and the operating system says "fetch has been changed to get and I no longer respond to fetch"
Also because Microsoft has changed the security model, and requests made by Oracle are now denied due to insufficient, or differences in, security.
An analogy - you have a device with a plug to use in North America. Why can you not simply plug it in to the wall socket in other countries?
The information you need should probably come from Microsoft, not Oracle.

Using 'what size' what in Library (and other folders) to delete?

In Library I notice a lot of 'packages' and 'receipts' folders/files - 'pkg' files - can they be dumped?
There seems to be similar files in 'previous system' - can they be dumped too?
What is the 'private/var' folder? - can anything be dumped from this?
Any other tips for deleting redundant files and folders - I've already got rid of the other languages related stuff.
Many thanks
Gordon

Empty the trash!
Open up your application folder & go through all your apps. Trash all the apps you no longer want and/or use.
An easier way to do this is to open the Application folder in list view & press the Command+j keys.
In the the dialog that appears, click the "This Window Only" button & the "Calculate All Sizes" check box.
Wait a bit until your file & folder sizes have all been calculated, then click the "Size" column to sort your apps from the fattest to the most anorexic.
Get rid of all your photo files you don't want and/or need. Same goes for those pics off the websites you downloaded (gifs, jpegs, etc.).
Get rid of all your music files you no longer listen too. Especially, if you already have the actual CD/DVDs or you can later redownload from a website.
Use Spotlight to make sure you got rid of everything. You can even trash directly from Spotlight!
Drag what you don't want and/or need to the trash. Better yet, download this neat little shareware app demo called AppZapper. It basically does all the work for you by not only trashing the apps but the apps preference files, caches & all its associated files.
Another software that does the above is AppDelete. Best of all this software is free!
Burn what you want and/or need onto CDs or DVDs.
Not everyone has the luxury of purchasing an external HD and/or Mobile accounts to store their "stuff.”
You can check with your ISP to see if they offer free storage space. Most if not all do now-a-days.
There are thousands if not millions of free storage facilities on the web also. Use your favorite search engine to search them out as they come in different storage sizes to fit your needs & wants.
Check for duplicate fonts.
Applications>Font Book
Select “All Fonts”
If you see any “black dots” next to any fonts this mean you have duplicates and/or multiple versions of these fonts.
To clean this up, select a “black dotted” font or the Apple + click to select multiple dotted fonts;
Edit>Resolve>Duplicates.
What the above does is turns off the duplicates & multiple version fonts. Not delete them.
More than likely the “extras” were installed by other programs and/or other users.
Clear out font caches
Use FontNuke. It does all the work for you. And, best of all it’s FREE.
Printer Drivers
Get rid of all the printer drivers you don’t need & use except the ones for your current printer(s)/scanner(s).
HD>Library>Printers Folder
If you accidentely threw something out that you needed for your printer/scanner it can be easily obtained from the manufacturer’s website and/or from the CD that came w/the printer/scanner.
Garage Band
Has about 1GB of loops stored. Get rid of some some them. You surely don’t use, like and/or need them all.
HD>Library>Audio/Apple Loops>Apple>Apple Loops For GarageBand
Or just get rid of the Garage Band app altogether if you don’t use it.
Get rid of extra languages
Strip your computer down to your “native” tongue.
You can do this with a FREE utility called Monolingual. Another app that apparently does all the work for you. I’ve never used it. However, a lot of users here swear by & recommend it highly.
However, there is a warning for *native English speakers*. Make sure you keep BOTH English and English (United States).

Touchpad problems ((and other Windows 10 issues)

I upgraded to Windows 10 pretty smoothly, but I'm experieiincing the same problems as others when it comes to using tablet mode etc. My biggest frustration though is that the touchpad no longer consistently supports two-finger scrolling, which is sooo frustrating. Also, edge-swipe gestures to bring up things like the app-switcher and charms bar (is it still called that?) don't work either. I've updated to the latest drivers (all of the ones that Lenovo has at ths point) and that doesn't seem to fix any problems. Anyone know how to solve the touchpad issues? Also, seriously disapponted with the Lenovo support on these issues. The Yoga went from being one of my favorite laptops to being one of my least favorite with this OS "upgrade" and next time, I'll probably get a computer from Dell.

Hi, I too was experiencing simlar frustrations on my Flex 2-15" which uses a similar touchpad, the movement would even stop all together for about 15-20 secs, extremely frustrating!! Since my wireless mouse would work just fine I knew it had to be an issue with the drivers. So the updated driver version for win 10 min my case is going from v17(win8) to v19+(win10). I noticed that the Device Manager driver was showing that new version but the Synaptics control panel was reading that the driver was still 17 which I could see might cause issues for the hardware input to be read properly. Here is how I fixed it: 1) If you haven't already, download the windows 10 driver for your specific computer/ trackpad from this site. 2) Go to your device manager cpl and expand the pointer mouse objects and uninstall all of the drivers but DO NOT reboot immediately. 3) Goto the Programs and Features cpl and uninstall the Synaptics program (or ELAN / Alps depending on your stock controller app) 4) Reboot when prompted. 5) Run the download in step one and install the driver and Synaptics app when prompted NOTE: In my case the Synaptics install would not open on its own and had to open it's setup.exe manually <<C: drivers\Touchpad Driver(Elan, Synaptics, ALPS)\2al301af\Synaptics>> If you still have the issue, try running through the steps while disconnected from the internet. It might be auto-updating with the wrong data. I hope this helps those afflicted my this annyoing issue.~gC

Media and Effects manager and video windows won't show up when STP launches

Today I launched Soundtrack Pro (from FCP Studio 5 Academic) and neither the Media and Effects Manager window (with Browser, Search, Favorites, Bin & Effects tabs) or the Video would show up. All I get is the project window.
When I tried importing an audio file or opening a multi track file, I still don't get these two windows, and under the window menu, all of these options are GREYED OUT.
Is there a certain setting I need to bring up the other two windows this program needs? Shouldn't they just be there when the program launches? HELP!

Update:
So, I just tried re-installing the software and I still only get the multi-track window when the program launches. I can not see any way to get the video viewer or Media and Effects manager windows to show up.
Please, what am I doing wrong?

Xcode Build and Run window doesn't show anything i done in .xib even a Label?

I am new to xcode ,try to learn programing ,i try to build a simple Mac program ,i drag a label icon to .xib user interface and SAVE then RUN ,in the window it won't show anything ? anyone can help ? thanks

The NewTry window looks like the window that opened when you ran the app not the window in the builder, right?
You need to open thre app window in the builder. To do this you need to select the app cube window icon in the column to the left of the builder window.
Select the solid blue cube window icon that says NewTry App Delegate like this
(note the name of the cube window icon will reflect the app name which is why the above says Test App App Delegate)
Once you have that window open in the builder then you can drag ui elements into it and they will appear when you build and run the app.
Of course getting them to do something is another issue entirely!
Message was edited by: Frank Caggiano - its not the blue cube but the window icon above it.

How to play .wma and other Windows Media Player-format files/videos on Mac?

Hi again,
I will be asking stupid questions as I'm a newbie to Mac, so please bear with me. There are some video format that QuickTime player doesn't play e.g. .wma files. I tried a couple of times to download Windows Media Player for Mac but it doesn't install on my Mac! Do I require a software similar to Zipfile or does Mac has it all build in?
PS - What is the coequal of "delete" button here in Mac (keyboard)?

Download and install Flip4Mac - VersionTracker or MacUpdate - to play Windows Media files via Quicktime. Also get Perian to provide additional codecs for other video formats.
The Delete key is on the keyboard next to the "=" key.

Newbie, I lost my time line and other windows. Please help!!

Can't figure out how to get my windows back. I have gone to arrange, But that didn't work. Please help. Thanks, Ted

Welcome to the madhouse. If there is no sequence open, there's no reason for the timeline to be displayed. This is actually handy if you've got a lot of sequences open and want to close them all: just close the canvas window and they all go away. Then open the one you want.
