My FCE Help function has disappeared

Does anyone know why my help function might have disappeared? I am using version 4.0.1 on my 21.5" new iMac. I have just bought the software too and made one software update. Since updating the software and clicking on Help, I am offered the user manual and various other links, but when I type in a help topic, anything at all, like "capturing video" for example, into the Search box, it tells me "No results found". Why would that be?

Try trashing the preferences like this:-

  • My messaging function has disappeared from my iphone 5S, it's no longer in my settings

    My messaging function has disappeared from my iphone 5S, it's no longer in my settings & I have no messages icon. When I get a SMS message it shows in my notification screen with the heading com.apple.MobileSMS, it will not let me click into the message or reply. Please can anyone help?

    Use the form on this page to request a free redownload, or use the Transfer Purchases feature. If neither of these works, you will need to purchase the songs and other content again to get them back; Apple needs to pay the copyright holders for each download from the iTunes Store other than podcasts and album artwork.

  • Version 30: I hit the bookmarks star & the search function has disappeared. Plus, the b/marks list covers part of the tab... can i get the search back?

    FFox updated itself to version 30 -- most unfortunately as it happens. Until now, hitting the bookmarks star opened a window on the left with a search window on top & the list of bmarks following. The search window now has disappeared, and the bmarks list covers the actual page I am browsing...
    Can I get the search function back? Maybe even put a stop to bmarks list maskign whatever I am browsing?
    Alternatively, what other reputable browser can you recommend thereby ridding myself of this and any future destructive "improvements"?
    Thank you

    The sidebar icon is the icon between the history (clock) icon and the downloads (Down) arrow icon in this screenshot.

    It worked fine for a while than stopped working. When I select it the 'hour glass' appears momentarily than nothing happens. F1 key also does not respond.
    Please help me correct this as I did find it useful when needing help. Thanks for the help.

  • Drag and drop function has disappeared with 10.8.4

    Just "upgraded" to 10.8.4. Now I cannot drag and drop between my email app (Powermail) and Path Finder. This is very crippling.
    With Mountain Lion generally there was a problem with the interface, sometimes clicking on the red window button would not work, for instance. I haven't checked whether this is fixed in 10.8.4 but removing drag and drop between applications is a downgrade, not an upgrade.
    Anyone have a solution to this loss of drag and drop (other than a 10.8.5)?

    For what it's worth I just upgraded to 10.8.4 and individually dragged and dropped four emails from Apple Mail to trash successfully. I did notice that three of the emails simply disappeared from trash instantly once dropped into the bin and one remained in the bin but truly deleted once I clicked on "empty" in the now open trash folder. 
    I *think* I kept my finger pressing down on the trackpad for a bit longer with that last email which actually triggered the trash folder to open showing me that last email in the bin. Maybe my hesitation triggered this coding behavior as if this human might be making a mistake so OSX better open the folder reminding him he's initiated a permanent deletion ? ;-)

  • Eject function has disappeared on Lion

    Hi,
    I've recently made a clean install of Lion on my Mac Book Core 2 Duo 2,16 Black ( after having upgrading may Ram to 3Ghz)
    The strange (and very boaring) thing is that I cannot eject DVD (or either virtual discs) except by rebooting and keeping the eject button hold.
    Because :
    There si no "eject" line in the File Finder menu.
    There is nothing in the contextual menu.
    Trying to us the eject button in the menu bar is not efficient.
    Trying to use the cmd-E key is the same.
    And, last but not least, there is no way to drag the icon into the trash…
    Could anyone help me ?
    Thanks
    Antoine

    Got it !!!
    Answer comes from FrançoisMacG on forums.macgeneration.com (in french) :
    go to the Library (Finder >  press alt),
    then in Preferences,
    trash the file    com.apple.finder.plist
    and reboot.
    It works fine.
    Thanks a lot to all of you.

    Have you been trying to download from the app store? Did you get a message?
    As a suggestion, you might go to an Apple store (genius bar appointment) for help. As far as I know, there should be no charge.

  • My iTunes Library has disappeared. Help!

    My entire iTunes library has disappeared. From reading other posts I see that this has been an issue. I'm not sure if it's related to AVG antivirus (but I deleted it anyway) or due to iTunes update. I noticed a week or 2 ago but haven't been back in the library since and was hoping that it would correct itself.
    I went into my iTunes library and see that all my music is still located there in iTunes Media and iTunes Music folders--neither folder has all music. The previous iTunes libraries are 4 months old and don't have about 70 new songs, apps, books etc. that were purchased. I know that my iPod Classic has all of the music library located on it but doesn't have the apps from iPad, iPods, and contacts from iPhone. What is the best way to restore this. Please help! I am not techy enough to figure it out.

    Uninstalling AVG won't repair the damage, though hopefully it should stop it happening again. See this post for repair steps.

  • Help!  My folder in iphoto has disappeared

    Hello
    I have 12 folders in iphoto, which each have many albums.  I try to keep just 12 events as well which match the names of my folders.
    My folder called 'work' has disappeared.  It doesn't seem to be in any of the other folders.  However the event called work is still there with all the photos in (but they are not organised at all).  How do I get my folder 'work' back?  How can I find it?
    Please help - as this is quite worrying.
    Katie

    Restore from your back up is the simple solution.
    Otherwise remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS.  So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • I used to have an icon on my menu bar at the top of my screen to help me detect displays (monitors)  It has disappeared and I don't know how to get it back.  Does anyone know?

    Your's may look more like this...
    ...if you're running Mountain Lion. I'm in clamshell mode right now, so I don't have any mirroring options. AFAIK, there's no more "Show displays in menu bar" in Mountain Lion.

  • Hi, just updated hubby's iPhone 4 and all of his music has disappeared from the iPhone and from the iTunes library! He does have music still stored on his iPod, but can't get it from the library on his iPod back to phone or itunes. technophobe help pls!

    and all of his music has disappeared from the iPhone and from the iTunes library! Luckily he does have music still stored on his iPod, but I can't get it from the library on his iPod back to the phone or to itunes.Please help, but technophobe so put it in simple english please!

    Sounds like the music you had on your phone was not the same music on his computer. The iPhone/iPod touch is not designed to be a storage device. When you sync with a computer that doesn't have your music, it deletes your music from your phone.
    Was this music you purchased from iTunes? if so, and you are in the US, tap on itunes app, tap updates, tap purchased and tap on the cloud icon to get each song back. If you're not int he us, get iOS5 update later this week and do the same.
    But you need to move your itunes library to his computer. Create a user account on his macbook pro for you. From your external drive backup, load your itunes library on it. Then sync as usual! (Don't tell me you don't have a backup for your computer!)

  • All of Microsoft Office has disappeared.  Can't open files in Dropbox.  Help!

    All of Microsoft Office has disappeared.  Can't open files, even in Dropbox, even after installing LibreOffice.  Can you help me?

    You can try a system restore to a point before the update. If you're lucky, it might work, but I often find System Restore will fail when you need it the most.
