Motion Non-Functional After Install?

I bought and installed Motion a couple of weeks ago, and have thus far been unable to get it to work. It's slow to load, which may be due to the fact that my machine is on the lower end of the acceptable specifications, but when the program opens, the Utility window is the only one which is present (no Project pane, Canvas, or Timing pane), and there is no way to make the missing windows appear.
Also, when I open the Preferences window, the buttons and menus are nonfunctional (the icons at the top of the pane do not appear, and even the window controls don't work). The only way to close the Preference pane is to quit the program.
I've tried to reinstall the program by throwing out the files and receipt and rerunning the installer, but each time the problems are the same after install. Has anyone had a similar problem, or know how this might be solved?

If the UI is missing its usually because the Pro Application Support is missing or out of date for your configuration.
If you're on Tiger:

If you're on Panther:

If you've installed this in the past, remove the ProAppRuntime.pkg from /Library/Receipts/ This will trick the update to reinstall completely instead of possibly skipping any bits.

  • App Store, Pages 5.0, Evernote, and other Apps will not fully function after installing Mavericks. What is the issue and how can this be solved?

    Hello all, I could use some serious help on some major issues I have been having after installing Mavericks on my system (specs stated below). Never has a mac felt ever so rebelious and broken before in my lifelong period of using these systems. Anyway, after installing system 10.9, I had opened the mac App Store upon seeing that applications such as my iWork suite all had free updates. However, when I would attempt to navigate to the updates window, it would not respond to my various attempts. I then tried to get there by the system's menu bar and to my dismay, nothing would work when I clicked on it, not even the apple logo menu. I later quit the application using Command-Q and opened up the App Store by the apple menu option 'Software Update...' instead. Though it looked promising since the updates window did open, all update buttons or even '...more' info buttons were unresponsive.  These same problems persisted even after restarting my computer. I had also attempted to see if repairing definitions would help by booting from the recovery start-disk and using disk utility but the repairs it carried out apparently had nothing to do with my issue. Finally, I was able to update to the new iWorks suite (which interestingly did not replace the iWorks '09 suite) by following the notification that asked about allowing automatic updates which I did.
    Once trying to use Pages 5.0, I soon noticed that all I could do was merely type in a new document and change various options via key commands. Neither the inspector or top bar menus would respond to any place I click. Similarly, Evernote only starts up on the last used note and merely allows me to scroll through it. The top bar menus, the note select pane, and even clicking inside the note to input text are all not functioning and uninfluenced by any mouse clicks.
    I have noticed other apps that will not respond to any sort of input, but I still have not explored all applications to know what the issues of each may be. However there are some applications that work such as Safari, Google Chrome, dolphin, iWork '09 including Pages '09, and others.
    I do hope that I can avoid rolling back my system, but in the meantime, it has been quite the obticle course to use my computer for all of my school purposes.
    Any help is very much appreciated,
    Thank you!

  • WAKE UP APPLE. SpotLight & Time-Machine effectively non-functioning after 10.7.5 combo update

    I have just done a complete clean restore from Snow Leopard DVD, doing all its Updates. Then, installed Lion from App store and did the 10.7.5 Combo update. (All that took 2 days).
    Time-Machine and Spotlight non functioning....
    Turned off Spotlight and Time-Machine got my apps & data back...
    Turned off Time-Machine and turned on Spotlight - nothing.
    Followed every combination of the many many helpful tips in this discussion group (involving Onyx, Terminal, Console, Privacy, removing all external drives etc etc). Finally Spotlght began to index.....
    3 days later, it was about 60% complete but slowing down. I rebooted (nothing else) and now Spotlight has restarted the Index once again and I have 3 weeks to wait now.... (Ihave about 600 Gbyte of data on a 1 Tbyte disk)
    Many others have had similar problems
    So clearly there is a significant bug in the system - with no sure fire workaround - and no apparent reaction from Apple staff about what they are doing or what sequence of actions one needs to take to resolve this issue.
    This is sad - Apple is going the same way as IBM, DEC, Microsoft, Adobe - loading functioning systems with more and more bells and whistles until finally they trip over their own feet with the complexity of the whole works.
    I feel entitled to moan - having owned nothing but Apple computers for 30 years.
    (I tried to upgrade to Mountain Lion two weeks ago, but the App store installation just froze and Apple say the DVD drive is a dying species and will supply no disks or other media to do proper restores.....!)
    ANY IDEAS ABOUT HOW TO WAKE APPLE PEOPLE UP!

    Time Machine just doesn't seem to function with lion or Mountaain Lion. I don't know about Spotlight, but I use Intego Backup Assistant for my backup and its doing fine.

  • Microphone does not function after installing Windows 7 RC on a HP Mini 1000 (1030NR)

    Hi. I recently purchased a HP Mini 1000 (1030NR) and upgraded it to Windows 7 Release Canidate. After install, I added the trackpad drivers, and everything else works fine except for the microphone. The computer recognizes it but when I speak nothing happens. The volume is turned up, and if I turn up the Mic Boost, all I hear is static. I have installed what I think are the correct drivers from another poster, to no avail. Also, there are no errors in the device manager. ANy ideas?
    Thank you in advance. 

    As a tempory measure search for SP40662 this package will enable the mic but there is a catch (isnt there always). The catch is that the mic is going to be recognized as the external one and if you plug in headphones you will have to reboot the mini to use the internal mic again. Im using the same set up right now and it works fairly well. Just hope that HP decides to bestow upon us the proper drivers for the mini soon.

  • Epson r2400 Driver Loses Functionality after Installing Digital Camera Raw

    I have four Macs at home and two printers. After installing Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 2.0 from software update on my Mac Pro and MacBook Pro, the Epson r2400 printer driver no longer works. I can barely get a print out of Aperture and/or Photoshop, however, Pages will output to the r2400 no problem. When I try to print with the other Mac Pro that has not been updated, I can print without issue. I can print from both machines to my kyocera mita printer within aperture and photoshop.
    All of these computers are running 10.5.2. The only difference being the most recent Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 2.0 is installed on the two machines that no longer work with my Epson r2400.
    I have uninstalled the print drivers and reinstalled. Changed the connection to the computers and tested everything that has worked in the past. I consider myself pretty good at troubleshooting, but this is beyond my grasp.
    I need to print right away from all these computers, so does anyone know how to "roll back" an update? I am not running Time Machine, but that may change very, very soon. Please help...

    I'm working off a 750 GB hard drive, not so simple to clone even via firewire. I guess I made a serious mistake by trusting the apple update process...I see they have a new update today. I may try that to see if fixes the problem before I buckle to the original system disk installation process. If the install is already burned, it couldn't hurt to throw some gasoline on it, right?

  • "Finder" does not function after installing Leopard on Mac G5

    After successfully installing Leopard on my (new) MacBook Pro and on my (old:2003) iMac PowerMac 6,1 I tried installing Leopard on my 2005 iMac G5.
    The installation seemed successful, but after restarting the computer I was asked to choose the wireless network from a list. This was not possible. I do not use the Airport on this computer so tried to press "cancel". Could not do this and got the turning rainbow circle which never stopped.
    *The Finder does not function and cannot be restarted. This seems to be the main problem.
    I cannot log off or shut down and have to use the powerbutton to shut down.
    When starting up I do not get the Startup sound. Do get login and can login. But, all my desktop buttons have disappeared and I immediately get a notice that OS X shut down unexpectedly, asking me to cancel or send a report. Neither of these options are possible and the turning rainbow reappears. It's driving me crazy!
    I can sometimes open programs but no longer "system preferences".
    Is there anybody out there who can help me??
    I am especially frustrated since the other two installations on an older and on a newer Mac went well. I use the exact same programs on all three computers.

  • BIOS non accessible after installing W10 x86. Serious Issue.

    Potentially a serious issue.
    From a "cold boot" (following a previous shutdown command) the BIOS is non accessible. The actual clickable text of "Press F2 to enter set up" is missing. This means that no recovery of this PC exists such as booting from
    a Windows disc or other bootable media.
    Fortunately, providing you can boot into W10 and do a restart, then the BIOS options appear.
    This means that if Windows didn't boot into Windows your PC could well become a brick.

    I hope I can help you about. I've note a funny thing on my PC: I have installed Windows 10 on a spare HDD, clean install on new formatted disk, without any other HDD inside. Later I've "shut down", unplugged all cables and removed
    from PC the Windows 10's HDD. I have then rebooted my PC on my usual HDD, it was telling me when pushing the power-on button "stepping out from hibernation". I've seen ~ this before in 7 and 8 installations (only). Not a BIOS/PC/HDD problem for sure.
    Maybe you have already done that before, sorry if my message is giving too much details, but I wouldn't want that you break something down on the process :-)
    Try to follow those steps in this order:
    1 - Remove all the medias connected (USB keys, CD, external HDD etc.).
    2 - Plug off the power cord, remove the battery, remove the HDD (usually is easily accessible from one side or from down-side of your laptop), wait for 4-5 minutes, then put in the battery (or the power cord) and try to power on your laptop
    without any HDD, USB key or DVD.
    Normally you should see the BIOS as usual, it will announce you that you have no boot media, or that there is an error and default settings were loaded. If so, power off, disconnect power source (cord and battery), plug in the HDD and
    restart the computer. If it's again blocking your bios, return to step 2 for removing the HDD. You may consider to thoroughly cleaning your HDD (including the MBR, formatting will not clear everything out, rather delete the partitions, re-create them, re-format).
    If 1 and 2 don't change the state of your BIOS, the error it's not connected with your HDD/OS installed. It just happened that starts just after you installing a new OS.

  • K8t neo fis2r - core center not functional after installing sound card

    Hi.  I had been using Core Center with Dynamic Overclocking enabled and all was well.  When idle, my amd64 3000+ (2.0ghz), was running at 800mhz.  Under load it would go up to 2100mhz.  But yesterday, I installed an Auzentech x-plosion sound card and after i installed the driver, the dynamic overclocking stopped working, my cpu is running at max all the time.  (The variable fan speed function still works). 
    I checked the IRQ and there is no conflict, I uninstalled the amd64 driver and core center and reinstalled.  Still does not work.  I uninstalled the auzentech driver, rebooted, and cancelled new hardware wizard.  Then the variable cpu frequency feature worked.  Once I install the driver for the auzentech, dynamic oc stops working.  I was thinking to try another pci slot but it appears to be a software issue rather than a hardware issue.  The new version of Core Center does not work with my board even though msi says it's compatible so I'm still using the one that always worked.  The amd driver is the latest and also always worked.
    Has anyone else had a similar problem, perhaps using the auzentech sound card with this board and Core Center?  Or does anyone have any suggestions?
    Thanks!

    Hey guys, I just went to AMDs site to get the dashboard utility mentioned and in the readme, it stated that in XP, the power option needs to be set to portable/laptop.  But in the past, I read that it needed to be set to "always on" and that it is, in fact, what I had it set to before when cool n quiet was working.  Now I change it to "portable/laptop" and it works and set to "always on" doesn't work anymore.  So now Core Center reports I'm at 33c @800mhz at no load.   I don't get it???  I'll have to try an alternate utility just to verify that is indeed working.
    btw, QV, I checked system properties, (right-click my computer > properties, or "system" in control panel) and on the "general" tab, it indicates an AMD64 3000+, 2.0GHz.  But I'm pretty certain the clock frequency is dropping now as reported by core center because of the decrease in the cpu temp at idle.  Am I looking in the right place in XP?  I have XP pro, SP2
    Again, thanks for the input and Happy New Year  

  • Logo graphics not functional after installing LR5 Update today.

    My logo function is not working for any of my graphics, only Logos using the normal text function is working.  Needed to post to my Blog today and this is a serious glitch!  Anyone having this problem also?

    Paul, thanks for your  suggestions.  Regrettably, none of these procedures helped my problem. Interestingly I just installed the same update on my 3 year old iMac and that same screen came on and remained for an unusual amount of time.  It took an excessive amount of time to finally come back with running apps in place.  A recent update on my MacBook Air went on briskly.  I'm not sure what any of that means but there it is.  By the way - I let the old iMac run with that startup screen for over an hour thinking it may just be old and needs more time.  Being older myself, I felt it couldn't hurt.
    Thanks.  I am not sure what the Genius Bar can do but it seems that is my next move unless someone comes up with a magic bullet out here.

  • Motion still fragile after installing it in a MacPro

    OK so we've had the FCP update so where is the Motion update. As a Pro user of this software I am very unhappy with Motion as it stands at the moment. I sent a request to Apple as I cannot use Motions keyframes anymore. This has been since I bought the MacPro and the Intel chipset. I have a 3 Ghz MacPro with 6 Gig of ram, it should be a flying machine and it's far from it...the only programme to benefit from all this power is compresser. Well I for one rejoice in the forth comming Premiere Pro for Mac due in mid summer, appart from audio conforming, Premiere Pro was streets ahead of FCP.
    Apple needs a kick in the butt to get all it's apps running properly with Intel as FCP, Motion, Studio Pro and Aperture all run sluggishly in my MacPro.

    Is it possible to be more specific about the
    problems? You mention you can't use keyframes
    anymore. What happens when you try to use them?
    If I try to use keyframes I get so far then the programme quits to the desktop, no warning.
    You also mention that programs are slow (aside from
    compressor). What is slow, and what are some examples
    of slow-ness?
    Slowness I compair to my other Macs, I have a 24" 2.16 Ghz Duo core Intel iMac (2GB ram & Nvidea 7600 GT card))which runs Aperture much faster than my MacPro ? Faster being...If I change a slider to adjust the highlights it works instantly with no delay on the MacPro I get a delay and sometimes the beach ball of death for a nano second.
    My MacPro has 3Ghz Duo core, 6 GB ram, ATI Radion X1900 XT card running two 23" Apple HD displays...and in Aperture I get lesser real time responce than in my 24" iMac ???
    FCP-5 I was under the impression that a lot of things turn real time the more processing power you give the programme, I can on occasions get red lines above disolves !
    The main difference between my previous G5s and MacPro is the amount of beach balls I am now seing when doing simple tasks that are no problem to my previous G5.
    What have you done to try and correct this? Have you
    trashed preferences, reinstalled the software, tried
    using a different user account, repaired persmission,
    run a hardware test, or rebuilt the system?
    I have repaired permissions, re-installed Motion, ran Tech tool deluxe.
    We're here to help, but when your system is acting as
    a the exception to the rule, it helps to have these
    kinds of details.

  • Camera Function after installing 2.3.3

    Hi
    Installed 2.3.3. yesterday and have lost camera functionality. Image can be seen to be taken, but no image can be captured. Touch screen and normal all fail to capture an image. I have reset factory preferenes on camera but nothing. I also keen getting an error message explaining that the camera is but and i need to wait. Can anyone help?

    Hi Uliwooly, have reloaded the software and unfortunately this has not improved matters at all. I have also reset the settings in the applications menu as you described.
    Symptoms remain:
    When opening Camera App, image can be seen on the screen.
    Image cannot be captured, when using touch screen or normal capture options. In fact when pressing screen or capture button screen darkens, and all menu incons disappear.
    When changing functionality in capturing mode menu, I get the error message"Sorry, Activity Camera (in application camera) is not responding" it then gives me 2 choices "Force Close" or "Wait"
    Has anyone got any suggestions at all. STrangely I dont normally use the camera that often normally, but am on a family holiday and am missing the ability to capture my special moments.

  • Time machine is non functional after last OS update

    I am unable to back up my I mac. When I click on the TM button it brings up a prompt that says " You haven't selected a location for time machine backups". When i click "set up Time Machine" it brings up a new TM window that shows the TM is "off". When I click the option on the left that that says "select back up disc", it brings up a new window that has one option only "other Airport Time Capsule". If I click onto that it opens a new grey window with a globe on it and it says "no configured airport base stations have been found. Airport utility will continue searching". If I try to turn the TM to the on position it brings up the same window scenario described above. This worked fine since 2009 and with the last major OS update it went bad....
    I was a pc guy before getting our macs and so this world is different, I have had NO problems with any of our macs since 2009, this is the first time and it started with the last OS update...our printer is not working either unless its hard wired to one of our 2 computers...again new issue since the last OS update. I have done a hard reboot on the Airport/TM and that didn't do anything. I wonder if it needs to be reloaded onto the IMAC, not really sure how to do that either.
    Thanks for any help/consideration you could give. Peter

    You need to do a full reset.. Yosemite wants to control and own everything.
    1. Full factory reset.
    Power off the TC.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the TC to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
    N.B. None of your files on the hard disk of the TC are deleted.. this simply clears out the router settings of the TC.
    2. It will now show up in Airport Utility.
    Redo the setup but do not accept apple recommended names.. use short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    3. Wireless should have WPA2 Personal with pure alphanumeric password.
    4. Your computer share name is well advised to be short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. (just remember your windows days.. apple is now using windows networking by default.. they began in Mavericks. when did you problems start.. oh yeah.. in mavericks.. hmm.. connected?? I think so!!)
    5. Make sure in network preferences for whatever connection you use IPv6 is set to link-local only.
    6. Manually mount the TC in finder if you still cannot connect in TM. Do this using top menu, Go, Connect to server.
    Type in AFP://TCname.local (TCname is your new short name.. local is default domain).
    Or AFP://TCIPaddress (eg 10.0.1.1 the IP you can find by the summary on the TC in airport utility).
    Type in and save the password for disk access in your keychain.. this is important.
    7. If it stops the day after you set it up.. welcome to Yosemite.. reboot the TC.. make sure it is mounted in Finder and try again.
    8. Use a replacement backup utility.. eg Carbon Copy Cloner to a USB drive.. much more reliable.

    Your processor is alright however the specs on your machine are lackluster.  It has a slow drive and not enough ram.  Your first problem is that with that little ram the computer will use the drive for paging.  Since the drive is 5400 (the slowest hard drives in the world) your going to be waiting.. a lot.  Up your ram and upgrade to a 7200 rpm hard drive youll be happy.  If you really want a gem system upgrade to 8gb ram and get a swift SSD drive. 
    Its a technology problem, not an OS problem.  Newer OS's have extra features that capitalize on modern tech.. 5400rpm tech are like.. 90s tech...   Cant believe they were selling those right up to 2011 or whenever.. criminal...
