Lost the ability to play back...

Something happened where I'm no longer able to play an ything back in Sountrack Pro multitrack projects. I hit the space bar, press the right arrow in the transport controls, and I get nothing. The timecode doesn't seem to be advancing either. The only thing that will play is the video file.
This all started when I was trying to replace a clip with audio from the same file. The problem with that was that the volume that I was hearing didn't reflect the changes in the volume automation envelope. That's a separate issue and if you have the answer to that, by all means let me know.
Anyway, when I replaced that old clip, I lost the ability to play back. Dumping my preferences didn't help and neither did restarting the computer.

The error was caused by a problem with one of my firewire 800 drives. I tracked it down by trashing STP's preferences and restarting without any peripherals (drives, etc.) plugged in, opening STP (which played correctly), then one by one plugging in the drives until STP started having that issue again.
In Disk Utility I did "verify Disk" and then "Repair Disk" after it found some errors on the suspect disk. That seems to have cleared things up.

Why have I lost the ability to play video in iTunes?

I recently upgraded to itunes 11.0 but now I seem to have lost the ability top play video podcasts, movies or even see trailers in the itunes store movie section. I did install an application called eyetvreporter to try to recover the activation code for eyetv shortly after installing itunes 11. I am not sure this had any effect because Ii can still see the eyetv on the computer. I have reinstalled os X from the recovery partition and reinstalled itunes 11.0. I have no idea how to reset iTunes to allow me to watch videos.

Strange! I changed the screen resolution, deleted the eyetvreporter, rebooted and the video came back. The problem is solved but not understood.

Itunes seems to have lost the ability to play purchased video

Before posting here, I've searched all over the place for a solution to this problem, I found many people who have very similar issues, some solved them, but their solutions haven't worked for me, others with problems closer to how'd I'd describe mine have yet to find a solution
My problem is, when I try to watch purchased tv shows, the video playback is horribly choppy. Most of the time it's like watching a screenshot with audio. (audio plays fine). I've tried all the suggestions of disabling direct3d etc to no avail. I have a brand new pretty beefy system that should have no problems running the video at all. The oddest thing though, is that early today the video worked fine, which confirms that it's not hardware insufficiency. After downloading 2 shows this evening, I watched them with perfectly smooth playback. After getting a few more tv shows, itunes suddenly lost the ability to playback smoothly, even after closing, opening itunes again, rebooting my computer, none of it helped. The only thing left to try which I will try if nobody has any idea what the problem might be, is to completly uninstall itunes and try reinstalling it again, since earlier the playback was fine.
Has anyone else encountered anything at all like this? Nothing about my system has changed since earlier this evening, I already had the most recent version of itunes when everything was working fine. No display drivers or any of that has changed. It was only a matter of a few minutes between smooth playback and where my itunes perminatly lost the ability to playback video properly.
I appoligize for the long winded message but I wanted to cover all the bases so people don't end up suggesting stuff I've already tried. The only clue that might be related is during download of one of the shows Windows Vista popped up the message that itunes had stop working, and I could try and find a solution or close the application. I just closed itunes and opened it again. Everything seemed fine but it may be (not positive though) that it was immediatly after that that the video nolonger played properly.

Post in the iTunes Windows section. This is the iTunes Mac area.
Make sure that your Quicktime is up to date.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that you have a SATA controlled hard drive. Apparently, there's some kind of bug with SATA disks and Vista and Quicktime/itunes video...and possibly Nvidia is involved as well.
The workaround is sticking the video on a flash drive in order to play it (because that avoids the SATA controller and thus bypasses the issue). It's a crappy workaround, IMO...and I'm not spending another cent on iTunes videos until the issue is actually fixed.

My iPhone 5 lost the ability to play through speakers.

Speakerphone, ringtones gone. I am able to use phone, sounds fine through headset. It was working fine last week.

When I use FF 4 I have problem with my Intranet user interface, I lost the ability to acces my intranet database? So for now I go back to previous version. I hope that kind of problem can be fix soon.

I usually use FF 3.6 version to download data from my company intranet. With old FF version I can access the intranet easily. But when I upgrade to the FF 4, I lost the ability to customize the variable data I want to collect. It kind of stuck. Usually when I right click I have option what to do. with the new version my option is none. nothing change. It's frustrating. So now, I go back to previous version. You said previous version is vulnerable to phishing or virus or something but still it user friendly for me to access my company data. Please fix that bug and I'll upgrade to the newest version.

I want to add my progress about this problem. I find this problem in IE 9, but it has compatibility view, though not too perfect but quite helpful. Whereas FF 4, from article in support, said it doesn't have one. So, I beg you FF team to accommodate us who still deal with old web design so we still can use this FF 4. Please..please..please. I still believe Firefox is the best browser and I hope FF team also responsive about current problem. I think I don't have any option, but to downgrade FF to 3.6 until someone tell me how to deal with this kind of problem. Thanks.

Lost the ability to download or play songs from iTunes match service ?

Around 24 hours ago lost the ability to download or play songs from iTunes match service. (iPhone and iPad work) But mac and pc doesn't ? Have downloaded iTunes update and have tryed restaring iTunes

Hello, Chris3198.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I see you experiencing issues with iTunes Match on your computers but not on your iOS devices. I would recommend going through the troubleshooting steps in the articles below.

I lost the ability to scroll with my touch pad. Did I accidentally hit a key combo? how to get it back?

Somehow I lost the ability to scroll up/down on my Asus laptop touchpad. I can scroll up/down with left-click held down using the scroll bar, but not with he mousepad. Allother thigs work okay. My guess is that I hit a combination of keys that turned it off. Re-boot does not restore function

I would assume that this issue would affect all browsers. Check your scrolling properties of the computer by going to the bottom right corner to fine "Synaptics Pointing Device", if you do not see it, press the arrow up to see more icons. If this just occurs on Firefox there may be a setting that we have to change. Please report back to us with results!
Thanks.

Strangely enough, putting my laptop into Hibernate mode solved the problem. It didn't even take a reboot.

Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
Thanks for the advice, Bee

The sheet I am working on has lost the ability for me to scroll to the first few columns. I can't see the columns but I can cut and paste them so I know they are still there. Has this happened to others

The sheet I am working on has lost the ability for me to scroll to the first few columns. I can't see the columns A & B but if I cut and paste the table to a new sheet, the columns I am missing will travel to the new sheet. I have charts and other stuff related the the original table so I need to figure out why I can only see from column C forward. I tried to "UNHIDE" the columns but the function doesn't seem to recognise that there are columns missing. Has this happened to others and how did you fix it?

I've seen it happen before, or at least it sounds something like what I've seen before. The table somehow gets into the margins of the page and the app doesn't know how to deal with it. Go into Print View and try moving the table away from the left side ofthe page. You might have to change content size or resize the table to get it to correct (then put you can put them back the way you like).

I've been taking screen shots for years and opening them from my desktiop. Suddenly, today, I've lost the ability to open them. I can right click on the picture and do "quicklook", but that's it. They just won't open.
Similary, if I scan an image and save it as a PDF file in pictures, I'm suddenly not able to open it either!
Why?

Move the com.apple.screencapture.plist file out of /username/Library/Preferences/ to the Desktop, log out and back in, and try again.
BTW, use the default 10 point setting for text. Your choice just wastes screen space.

Probably you have never experienced this, but I have lost the ability to iMessage.

It's not a huge deal, but people with iPhones can't text me back unless they try to re-send after finding out that their message wasn't delivered.
Help!
I think I have gone through every support option available, short of
Scheduling an appointment at the Genius Bar. But I have been to the store three times in the last three weeks.
To solve a different problem, the folks at the store replaced my iPhone 4S.
I came home and loaded my backup onto the new phone. Everything EXCEPT iMessage seems to be working great.
I would really appreciate any feedback...
