Movie controls stopped working

my movie controls have stopped working
such as
the trans port controls appear when I move the mouse
using the escape key to cancel out of the movie
the ONLY way I can close a full screen movie is to click it and look for an 'x' in the upper left corner.
I am on a mbp retina runing the latest os/itunes.

I am having a similar problem with my two MacBook Pros, but only with You Tube. When I play a You Tube video on my even older Mac Pro, the volume is fine. I've researched this extensively, but will admit I'm not too good at understanding all the options in the Mac Preferences. Nevertheless, I've tried multiple suggestions to no avail. Were it not for the fact that YouTube works fine on my MacPro, I'd believe it was a You Tube problem. But I don't.
All three computers are running the same Mac OS.

Keyboard controls stop working after exiting full screen

Hi everyone,
I have QT Pro 7.4.1, with a problem that started after upgrading to the .1 version.
When I exit full screen mode while watching a movie, the keyboard shortcuts for the player controls stop working. Instead, the computer beeps at me when I press the spacebar, etc. The keyboard controls still work during full screen mode, and after exiting full screen mode, I can still click on the play controls with the mouse to make them work. I've looked through the forum, but can't find anything about this. I also got this problem with one of my school's computers, with the same version of QT Pro. Is anyone else having this problem? Is it a known bug?
Thanks,
Irene

Yep.
A bug of sorts.
A "click" on the small screen version will restore QuickTime Player "focus" and then the keyboard inputs will work as designed.

The remote controls stopped working

I bought with an official Apple dealer the new i Pod Shuffle (generation 3) to use during my bike rides. After the first ride the remote controls stopped working and the voice over feature spontaneously started repeating the songs title. As well the volume control stopped working altogether. I didn't have time to return the Shuffle after only a week so I disable the voice over feature and keep on using my Shuffle with no volume adjustment, fast forward etc ….
After a visit to the Apple website I saw that several owners complained about this problem and assumed Apple would know about it and be ready to offer a fast solution. So picked an official Service Center as close as possible from my location.
First shock the Service Center was dirty, the paint obviously several decades old and faded, the light kept to the minimum.
Second shock not Tech on duty to check something as simple as a headsets. I realized there was no way to have a fast resolution to my problem. The Shuffle will be send to a regional repair center, I could have save the trip and just go to an Apple dealer. What the use to have Service Centers if they don't provide service?
Now when a product is returned, after 25 days of ownership (can't say use), a product designed by a company with the reputation of Apple you expect some kind of sign that the company is sorry, stands behind it's product and will do all possible to solve the problem. WRONG.
Third shock. The person who took my Shuffle obviously never saw a Shuffle generation 3 before or even knew it existed. She explained over and over that I may (but it sounded more like I will) be charge for the repair. Even asked me to pay upfront a basic fee to cover the time of a Tech checking on the product. And that the Tech will give me a quote if I am to be charged. Furthermore She found tons of reasons why eventually I would be charged to repair the product, however no technical person ever checked on the product. Well I guess only users read messages on Apple website not employees of Apple.
So what now? I am suppose to receive an E-mail in 24 hours to 5 working days, in which I'll be explained the result of the Tech investigation.
I guess most owners of Apple products have a better experience with the Customer Service or where the reputation of Apple being a “cool” company comes from? But based on my experience it looks like Apple's products and Apple's Customer Service may not meet Apple's reputation or customer's expectations. Or am I asking for too much?

I seriously doubt you were at an Apple Store and you were not dealing with Apple employees. You were dealing with a 3rd party shop that does work on Apple products.
Don't know where you are located but you could contact Customer Service at Apple and complain but they are somewhat limited it dealing with a 3rd party company. But they will at least have you complaint on file. Or you could attempt to find an actual Apple Store and take your Shuffle there. Or you could try one of the workarounds listed on the threads here.

Volume controls stopped working properly for my LED Display

The volume controls stopped working properly for my LED Display (Mac Pro OS-X 10.6.8). The sliders go up and down, and the clicks are audible, but the sound levels remain the same. The internal speaker sound settings/controls are working properly. I tried restarting to no avail.

My spaces and mission control stop working shortly after startup

My spaces and mission control stop working shortly after startup. The feature to activate it on the keyboard won't work, also trying to open the app itself doesn't do anything and the multitouch two finger swipe and hpt corners I have setup don't do anything as well. Any idea on what might be conflicting to cause this?

Try moving your com.apple.spaces.plist from the preferences folder to the desktop then give it a try. To get your preference folder you will need to hold down the option key while clicking on the go menu in the finder then click on library then click the preferences folder.

Music controls stopped working after I updated iOS7

As soon as I updated (iOS7) to my phone, my music controls stopped working. On the lock screen and in music app, I can’t change volume. Control button looks like lock and when I touch it, volume doesn't want to change. It’s not about my iphone speakers because my phone can ring. I already tryed to reset my phone and still nothing better.

This is happening with my iPad mini too. I bought last week, and it have already come with iOs 7, and the music controls on the lock screen had been working normally but since two days ago it stopped working the play button, favorites and next song button, only the volume is working yet. If anybody know something, let us know. Tell us what you will do cathconst. Thanks. :/

It was working before two days. I didn't install or update any display driver and driver from toshiba download site is installed from the day first. display-20130111074851.zip

Hi Chand
This is user-to-user forum and we can try to help you with useful tips.
You cannot expect that someone collect and send you drivers. How to send you, for instance, display driver with 100 MB capacity.
You must download it alone. I presume you have machine designed for Middle East so visit please Toshiba support page on http://www.toshibamea.com/ choose your destination and check for support. As far as I know Toshiba offers drivers for supported operating systems.
Instructions about Win8.1 upgrade you can read on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/windows8_1-message/
By the way: have you upgraded Win8 that you got to Win8.1? Im not 100% sure but I presume you got machine with Win8 64bit version, right?
Have you created recovery media before you have installed Win8.1 version? If not please do this. Recovery media creation is very important.

Applescript create folder from filename and move file stopped working

Hi,
For a while I've used this script but after upgrade and a new machine it stopped working.
I have Mac OS 10.8.5.
This is what I have.
Images (folder)
111111_00.jpg
111111_01.png
222222_01.jpg
222222_02.png
222222_03.gif
I'd like to be able to create a new folder for each "group of files" (new folder 111111, new folder 222222) and move the appropriate files into each of them.
The filenames are always built by 6 digits underscore and 2 digits. Can be whatever filetype. (123456_01.jpg)
I have a script that used to work just fine but now it just creates one folder and then freezes.
This is the script that doesn't work.
set chosen_folder to (choose folder)
tell (a reference to my text item delimiters) to set {old_delim, contents} to {contents, "_"}
tell application "Finder"
    try
        set file_list to files of chosen_folder
    on error
        set file_list to {}
    end try
    repeat with this_file in file_list
        set folder_name to name of this_file
        if folder_name contains "." then set folder_name to ((text items 1 thru -2 of folder_name) as string)
        set new_folder to ((chosen_folder as string) & folder_name & ":")
        try
            get new_folder as alias
        on error
            make new folder at chosen_folder with properties {name:folder_name}
        end try
        move this_file to folder new_folder without replacing
    end repeat
end tell
set my text item delimiters to old_delim
I know that there are many who can do this easy as pie, but if you can find it in your hearts to help me it would be much appreciated.

IPod 1 controls stopped working

My constant companion for years stopped working after being neglected for a few months. It is fully charged (green battery light), recognized by my PC, syncs, and is filled with music which I can manage. It turns on and off with the slide switch (green light), but the controls do nothing -- volume way up, but no play or sound. I've tried all the std. remedies. Can it be revived??

Hello Ana,
And welcome to Apple Discussion!
Could be the sign of a dead battery already. If the iPod is still under warranty consider taking advantage of it now.
How long have you left the iPod sit to charge? With it connected to your PC or wall outlet, have you tried resetting it after about half an hour? To do this, press and hold the Select and Menu buttons together for a couple of seconds until the Apple logo appears. Try this periodically as needed.
If no warranty still, you can opt to replace the battery yourself or have a third party repair company do the job for you.

Keyboard select controls stop working

I have an Apple keyboard connected via usb, and an Apple wireless Magic Mouse.
When working on a project I tend to use the browser to select a photo, make adjustments in the viewer, then move on to the next photo. Standard stuff.
Typically the sort of adjustments are cropping, stacking, rating, skin smoothing, exposure etc. Again standard stuff.
After doing a few of these, the move arrows (up, down, left, right) stop working, so navigating through the project becomes a pain. Also, it is not uncommon for the mouse to throw a 'wobbly' and dart all over to the wrong places.
The solution is to close and restart Aperture.
I've sent a bug report to Apple, but anyone else getting this?

Hey, was wondering if it was just me. I have the same exact problem, and it may be something I'm doing wrong.
What I used to do in Aperture 2 was say lift from one image then use the keyboard cursor keys to move left/right/up/down through the project and stamp when needed, this could be done without changing from the stamp tool.
Now to do this I have to press 'O' to get the lift tool, then press 'A' to get me the selection cursor, then press 'SHIFT-O' to get the stamp tool, this will then allow me to stamp on thumbnails and move along to the next image using the keyboard without changing back to the selection cursor 'A'.
Does this make sense? Because it's a pain and really slows the workflow down. I have no wireless input devices and the same happens on the MacPro and Macbook Pro.

Remote control stopped working on MacBook Pro

I have two MacBokk Pros (2008 and 2011), with two remote controls that worked fine and interchangeable until about a week ago. Now both remotes work only on the older one of our computers, but not on the newer one. I have looked into the Security prefs panel, "Disable Infrared Receiver" is unchecked, "this computer will work with any available remote control" is shown underneath - everything look like it was before.
Holding "Menu" and "Fast Forward" to pair the remote produces no results after 5 seconds or more.
I also did the the "iSight test" mentioned elsewhere in this forum, the batteries in both remotes are fine and sending a signal.
That leads me to suspect there might be a problem with the infrared receiver. But is that a hardware or software issue and what should be done next, considering that I'm about 200 miles from the next Apple store?

Thank you! Yes, I've seen this troubleshooting page and followed those suggestion, that's where I also found the remote control battery test mentioned above.

Remote control stops working after a few days

NW 6 SP3
ZFD 3.2 SP2
After importing workstations, remote control works fine. After a few
days, remote ping might work but NOT remote control. Sometimes even remote ping errors out with the message that the "REMOTE MANAGEMENT
AGENT
IS NOT RUNNING"(when it appears it is). If I stop and start the
"novell
wuser agent" service, then I can usually remote control the
workstation
again. Occasionally, however, I get the message "The Remote
Management
agent was unable to locate the workstation in NDS". At which point I
have
to delete the workstation object and re-import the workstation to be
able
to remote control it again.
Any help is appreciated.

I have a different server for each site(city) hosting the import
services. There is only one variable allowed in DNS so all sites
would
try to get services and register to the same server.
Using the container login script for each site to set the /s parameter
was
easier than changing the registry setting for each
workstation...especially if that server changed. This way I would
only
have to change it one place.
If the workstation has already been registered and imported AND I can
remote control it, does it NEED to find the import server again if it
hasn't been rebooted since the last time I remote controlled it?
Thanks, jg

Form Controls stop working after December 2014 Updates

For some users, Form Controls (FM20.dll) are no longer working as expected after installing MS14-082 Microsoft Office Security Updates for December 2014. Issues are experienced at times such as when they open files with existing VBA projects using forms
controls, try to insert a forms control in to a new worksheet or run third party software that may use these components.
You may received errors such as:
"Cannot insert object"
"Object library invalid or contains references to object definitions that could not be found"
"The program used to create this object is Forms. That program is either not installed on your computer or it is not responding. To edit this object, install Forms or ensure that any dialog boxes in Forms are closed."
* Note In this last error message, the Forms text may also be replaced by the GUID of the control.
Additionally, you may be unable to use or change properties of an ActiveX control on a worksheet or receive an error when trying to refer to an ActiveX control as a member of a worksheet via code.
Steps to follow after the update:
After updating, the cached control type libraries (extender files) may be out of sync. To resolve this issue, you must delete the cached versions of the control type libraries (extender files) on the client computer. To do this, perform a search on your
hard disk for files that have the ".exd" file name extension and delete all the .exd files that you find. These .exd files will be re-created automatically when you use the new controls the next time that you use VBA. These extender files will be
under the user's profile and may also be in other locations, such as the following:
%appdata%\Microsoft\forms
%temp%\Excel8.0
%temp%\VBE
Scripting solution:
Because this problem may affect more than one machine, it is also possible to create a scripting solution to delete the EXD files and run the script as part of the logon process using a policy. The script you would need should contain the following lines
and would need to be run for each USER as the .exd files are USER specific.
del %temp%\vbe\*.exd
del %temp%\excel8.0\*.exd
del %appdata%\microsoft\forms\*.exd
del %appdata%\microsoft\local\*.exd
del %temp%\word8.0\*.exd
del %temp%\ PPT11.0\*.exd
Additional step:
If the steps above do not resolve your issue, another step that can be tested (see warning below):
1. On a fully updated machine and after removing the .exd files, open the file in Excel with edit permissions.
2. Open Visual Basic for Applications > modify the project by adding a comment or edit of some kind to any code module > Debug > Compile VBAProject.
3. Save and reopen the file. Test for resolution.
If resolved, provide this updated project to additional users.
Warning: If this step resolves your issue, be aware that after deploying this updated project to the other users, these users will also need to have the updates applied on their systems and .exd files removed as well.
If this does not resolve your issue, it may be a different issue and further troubleshooting may be necessary.

' set up test selection combo controls
Set currcombo(1) = .F14
Set currcombo(2) = .F15
Set currcombo(3) = .F16
. . . . .etc
The error occurred on the first Set statement where
In this case (in two environments: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit and 32 bit, Excel 2007) the cure was to uninstall the problem security update KB2596927.
