You can try deleting the preferences file...
1) Quit Motion.
2) Navigate to User/Library/Preferences.
3) Locate com.apple.motion.plist and delete it.

User account not highlighted in preference pane, can't delete

After using Migration Assistant to populate a new PB, I now have 2 admin accounts. After consolodating files, I am unable to delete the one that I don't need, but as it's not highlighted in the System Users/Groups Preference pane, a simple deletion doesn't work. I dragged its User folder to the trash and restarted, but the account won't go away. What am I missing?

As Zlig already said, make sure:
A). You're not logged into the account you're wanting to delete;
B). You have the padlock unlocked at the bottom left of System Preferences

Can not install DVDSP4 never get the upgrade button to highlight

I was having problems with DVDSP4 so I decided to reinstall it. I trashed the DVDSP4 App emptied the trash inserted the FCS 5 install disk and the "upgrade" button does not highlight so that I can install the DVDSP app or anything else. Whats up? Now my problem is really bad. No DVDSP4 at all.

Make sure to remove receipts for the prior installation from your computer found in Library->Receipts for the application(s) (this is mani library, not at user level)
Also take a look here for some more details and David recommends a program or two to assist with unnistalls)

HT1338 motion 4 will not work after yosemite upgrade

motion 4 will not work after yosemite upgrade

To be honest I do not use motion or any other compositing app so i do not miss it personally. However the new Motion is not that expensive, around $60 i think. Still, I understand your frustration.
I am afraid the more the OS is updated the less compatible certain applications will become.
Good Luck

Various Preferences not "sticking"

Having been a long time Mac user since the 80's starting with an SE, I have to say that I've never had so many problems with various preferences not saving after a major upgrade. It began with 10.4 with the annoying Finder views not saving my meticulous sizing and placement of my icons in a given window. I had to do a "clean" install to regain that ability after upgrading from 10.4 to 10.5.
Now with 10.6, after upgrading, there are NUMEROUS preferences not holding as well as annoying bugs: 1) Finder window sizing and icon placement; 2) sound output to direct to Digital Out; 2) Startup Disk starting up with all drive's highlighted; 3) Start Disk not showing any Boot Camp/Windows partitions/drives.
Those are the major ones off the top of my head.
The only way to resolve this was to yet another completely "clean" install on a brand new drive and manually install all my applications and copy my preferences.
This is absolutely HORRIBLE having to constantly do clean installs. I used to kid my Winblows using friends whenever they had to upgrade or resinstall their OS from scratch. But now in the past several major revisions of OS X, I, too, have had to spend DAYS with a clean install.
I have better things to do with my life than spend a whole weekend and more, on top of having to buy another hard drive in order to do a clean install and copy over all the old settings from the old hard drive.
Is everyone else beginning to experience these same OS X upgrade headaches?
Am I simply to toss my entire preferences (and perhaps Application Support) folder to see if this solves various issues?
Like I said, I have better things to do with my life than wasting it troubleshooting annoying OS X bugs.

The first upgrade from 10.4 to 10.5 was on a G5 Dually 2.5. The Finder views not saving was only resolved by clean install. Perhaps it was a dysfunctional machine in some unforeseen way, but it worked just fine until the upgrade.
The next upgrade from 10.5 to 10.6 was on a brand new 2008 Mac Pro 8-core 2.8. I say brand new because I just a fresh install of 10.5 and all applications when this computer replaced the dead G5 and then I deployed for a year and with a machine I used for maybe a total of 2 light duty hours over an entire year, did an in-stride upgrade to 10.6 and immediately had these issues, well, how dysfunctional can a machine get with practically no usage and now third party utilities (previously known as system extensions in the pre-X word)?
I upgraded my MBP in-stride to 10.6 and luckily nothing bad to report so far.
Regarding your unspoken suggestions, I already took the most painful of resolutions by starting on a brand new drive and installing the OS and every single application cleanly one by one. So there is no alternative suggestion that you could have had that would have evoked as much fury as the frustration experiencing with individually installing years of collected software, and setting my work spaces the way I had it before. A whole weekend shot.
I tried deleting .DS_Store files using the Terminal, manually resizing the target window in question to my liking, then after closing and reopening, staring back at all my changes lost and a "default" view thrust upon me. No matter of setting permissions and correctly with Disk Utility worked. I've trashed various Finder and OS related plist files to no end.
And to anyone who tells me I have no right to vent, well then you sure don't know much about the good ol' bad days at the dawn of the "web" where flame wars were rampant for those who did not know how to tread the cyber highway.
Every consumer product should have some sort of Quality Assurance check to ensure that certain aspects are as trouble- and bug-free as possible. The user interface is definitely one of those areas I would put a high priority in thorough testing, especially management of custom settings and preferences.
Should I parse my text with the now passe </rant on/ off> explicit commands to help those skip passages that add nothing but blather and spittle to the discussion?
Are have we turned into a bunch of overly sensitive, stuck-up arrogant yahoo's that Windblows flame-baits portray us as?

Slices in Save for Web not highlighting when selected in Photoshop CS5.5

Lately I've just noticed when I select slices in Save for Web the newly selected areas do not highlight in their normal yellow colour. They are however selected and save correctly if I do save them. If I toggle slice visibility off and back on again they selected slices become highlighted but it's kind of a pain. Have I done something to cause this or is this a known issue with one of the updates?

"View Film Rolls" is not Highlighted.... how can I get to it? (iPhoto 6)

"View Film Rolls" is not Highlighted.... how can I get to it? (iPhoto 6)

Since you're using the term Rolls you must be running iPhoto 6 or earlier. For future problems be sure you post in the iPhoto 6 or forum.
For this problem the View File rolls will only Be sure you're clicked on the Library. That menu item is not available in an album or other item. If you have clicked the library icon first and it's still grayed out close iPhoto, delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and then try again.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

When I open iWeb it does not "Highlight" the New site or new page options. It ahs had this issue for over a year! I have tried uninstalling and re-installing it. What do I do? It opens the tutorial video, then when you close it, nothing else is clickable.

Open iPhoto, select a couple of photos and use the Share ➙ iWeb ➙ Photo page menu option. That has jump started iWeb for others. I could take a couple of tries.
If that doesn't work try the following:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iiWeb.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder.

3 - launch iWeb and try again.

Spelling Errors In Mail Are Not Highlighted As I Type

Hi,
I have 'Check Spelling As I Type' enabled in Preferences in Mail, however my spelling errors are not highlighted (underlined in red) as I type.
This feature used to work but for some reason no longer does - not sure if this is attributable to recent software updates?
To check the spelling I need to select that option from the Edit menu.
Any ideas how to turn this feature back on.
Thanks

Are your dictionary files in place? They should be here:
~/Library/Spelling
Maybe check that the permissions are OK on this file (do a Repair Permissions from Disk Utility).
Also, check your spelling settings in Mail: Go to Edit->Spelling->Spelling...
Finally, several other applications use the same spelling services as Mail, so try using Text Edit to see if the problem is there too.

System Preferences - Display Preferences ---- not opening

In my Snow Leopard 10.6.5 under System Preferences only Display Preferences not loading. It is giving error "System Preferences cannot be opened because of a problem".
I tried resetting PRAM and NVRAM. Also is deleted the file com.apple.systempreferences.plist. Still it did not solve the issue.
Please let me know how i can solve the issue.
Thanks

Get a bootable, external HD (preferably FireWire, since it's 40-50% faster than USB 2 and designed for data transfers), make a bootable backup/clone before updating/upgrading, and ensure that it's bootable and works like the original. Then have your corporate IT reinstall the image and use the Migration Assistant to restore all of your customizations. See these for details:

Current day not highlighted in month view!

after updating to: OS X 10.4.9, the current day is not highlighted in the calendar view in ical. the current day is highlighted in the day and week views, just not the month. I cant find any way of turning it on. Has anyone else had this problem after uptating the system OS to 10.4.9? any help would be appreciated. it is quite annoying.

I've found a solution to this problem that has been bugging me for months. As others have reported, the "today" highlight in iCal had disappeared. I also noticed a similar problem when using Gmail. Gmail highlights read mail with a blue background on the mail item in the main list. This also disappeared. Strangely, I would see both of these highlights reappear for a moment when I did fast user-switching to a different account. Just before the Mac would switch to another account, the screen would darken and those highlights would appear. This seemed to indicate that the problem wasn't with the applications but rather with the system.
Here's how I fixed this: I went to the Display system preferences. I selected the Color tab. THe display profile was Cinema Display. I selected another profile (in my case I chose Adobe RGB (1998)). Immediately, the missing highlights reappeared. I then reselected Cinema Display and the highlights remained (although slightly lighter).
Somehow, the display profile got changed enough to wash out those light blue highlights, but switching profiles brought them back.
This worked for me on my Apple Cinema LCD display. I don't know if this will work on another brand LCD display or on a CRT. But at least I've found a way to bring these highlights back. I'll be curious if this solves anyone else's problem.

ReportContextAttributeMessage does not highlight field

Hi
I have a node named Params, and I have created the elements under that dynamically. One of the elements created dynamically is "Rating".
I need to check if the input field(created dynamically) mapped to "Rating" is null or not. if it is null, I need to report a message and highlight the field.
I have a validation helper class, that Im calling, with the method:
public static void raiseError(IWDMessageManager messageMgr, IWDMessage message, IWDNodeInfo node,
IWDNodeElement element, String fieldName, String fieldLabel)
IWDAttributeInfo attributeInfo = node.getAttribute(fieldName);
messageMgr.reportContextAttributeMessage(element,attributeInfo,message,new Object[] {
fieldLabel },true);
I have done everything thats necessary and am calling the validation class raise error with all the attributes as follows:
ValidationHelper.raiseError(messageMgr, IMessageEmployeeRating.MESSAGE,
wdContext.nodeParams().getNodeInfo(), wdContext.currentParamsElement(), "Rating"+i, "The rating
has not been entered");
The problem is that the message "The rating has not been entered" is displayed as expected, but the field is not highlighted or outlined red.
What could be wrong?
BTW, Im on EP 7.00 SP 13.
Thanks
OJ

Hi Manoj
Yes, the attributeinfo is for the same attribute im checking, and the element is the current element.
Im still not able to fugure out what the problem is.
There was a recent upgrade of patches in my system. Do you think this could have caused it? It was working prior to that. I searched for some docs or Notes on it, but found none.
Thanks.

Security and privacy system preferences not working after Lion install. What to do?

Security and privacy system preference not working after Lion install. Not sure if it happen with Lion installer or after updating. What to do?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” (without the quotes) and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Copy or drag — do not type — the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}'
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.) You can omit the final line ending in “$”.
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}'
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}'
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
Important: If you synchronize with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null
Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output.
You can then quit Terminal.
