My green audio bars went invisible and I can't seem to get them to reappear

Hello,
I use After Effects CS6 with a pretty new i5 desktop computer with Win8. My green audio bars (not sure of the technical name) just starting being invisible for the first time, so I can't edit/move them around anymore, as shown in this screen capture here:
http://i878.photobucket.com/albums/ab341/AAL2423W/artsies/3-30-2013010337PM_zps369a2cc1.jp g
(Sorry if it's small, Photobucket shrinks my image files if they go beyond a certain size, but Ctrl++ may help to zoom in for details.)
You can see how the green bars are missing even though you can still see the accompanying green Waveform underneath where the green bars should be.
Why did they disappear and what can I try to do to reclaim the green audio bars? I also can't seem to continue the project until I get past this issue, as even putting in new audio bars show up as invisible. (It's as if the project file has 'had enough' and wants me to start a new project file, but this would result in repeated work.)
(I feel like this started happening because the project got too big for one file, due to being 12min long and having 337 'layers' so far, but I don't want to suggest that as part of the answer, I'm just giving my own inexperienced feeling about the matter. Plus, I already tried dividing the project up into two 7min halves, since I only started having this problem at the 11.5min mark, and, unfortunately, the new second half still doesn't even show the invisible green bars, despite being only 7min long instead of 11.5min. I also notice performance issues replaying the entire thing with a RAM Preview after it got to be around 11min in total, with random audio skipping and the like, making me assume I'll keep projects to about a 7min maximum from now on to be safe and just compile them all afterwards. Another performance issue is that it clearly doesn't complete the RAM Preview distance that is set. Instead it stops where it wants to and commences replaying.)
Thanks

Edit --> Preferences --> Media and Disk Cache --> Purge. And you might wanan consider substituting any compressed audio sources with WAVs, too, to avoid such corruptions. Similarly, check your audio in a proper audio editing app. Odd sample rates, weird channle mapping and so on can have all sorts of ill effects.

    Hi,
    This is how App Store app shows now when an app is downloading. If you cannot download anything, go to Settings > iTunes & App Store, remove your Apple ID, and set it again. That should work.
    Hope that helps.

    I would do 1 thing at a time:"now the micropohone is not working in facetime"
    Here is what you can check to get your mike working in facetime:
    1. Hold down option while you click on the speaker next to time a. date,
    under input Device see if your mic is marked. If not: ✔️
    2. Click the apple top left/System Prefs./click on the Sound speaker:
    under Input highlight microphone.
    3. When you have factime on go to video above scroll and see if your mic is marked ✔️
    If that does not get it to work there is more you can check:
    (Utilities/Audio, midi setup)
    For any other audio device you do this for input and output.

    Maybe I'm not understanding but it appears that your question refers to a transfer from a non-Apple phone to a non-Apple computer. If that is correct, this forum is likely not the best place to get an informed answer.

    the keyboard on my ipad has disappeared and I can't seem to get it back.Any ideas how to get my keyboard back?

    Standard troubleshooting steps in order are as follows - checking after each one to see if the problem is resolved:
    Power your iPad off and on.
    A reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release.
    Restore your iPad with iTunes from your iPad's backup.
    Restore your iPad with iTunes as a new iPad or not from your iPad's backup.

  • Desktop in Trash involuntarily and I can't seem to get it back out.

    Erm ok... am not rightly sure what has just happened. I was unraring some files... I went to empty my trash... and then before I knew it... the files I was unraring were in my trash and I was getting the error message that some of my files were in use. I hadn't realised this at that point so I clicked continue.
    Now my desktop is in my trash and I can' seem to recover it. I had aliases on my desktop which I have gone to recreate and when I send them to the desktop via the finder... they go straight to the trash. I still have some files on my desktop though... so what's happening and why is my desktop in the trash. How could I have done so accidentally?

    Simply relaunched finder and all is now okay. However how could that have just happened?

  • I had 18 reminders for today and now I have 6-- and no future reminders that I set.  I didn't do anything and now I can't seem to get them back.

    I use my reminders all the time.  I had 18 for today and now there are only 6--ones I had added previously that are overdue.  There are no future reminders.  I did not touch anything!  And nothing I seem to do will get them back...

    Try this as well.
    Quit the reminders app completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Neighbors keep stealing my internet and resetting permissions - I know they are running Lion and I can't seem to stop them from resetting the wifi and firewall options in Maverick. It's killing my internet and driving me nuts.

    Hi - I thougth I was crazy but after a full reinstall of Mavericks and I can still see the utility repair fixing problems I know my neighbors are stealing in internet and using it. They keep finding different ways to do it - the only way I know they are doing it is because when I login to the terminal it no longer uses my HD name but some long server looking name. I turned off my wifi and plugged it in directly. This time, after the reset, they modified my firewall permission and reset some ruby framework. I want to know how to stop this from happening. Please help.

    More importantly, or at least as important, you must assign a strong password to your router's login. Service providers of DSL and cable have finally wised up and their routers now come with a preassigned and difficult to guess admin password, but not all. Right now, I'm certain it's at a default. Check the manual for your router, but it's probably something like:
    Admin: admin
    Password:
    Sometimes it's the other way around. The admin name is blank, and the password is simply "admin".
    Do this. From Safari, type this into the URL/search field at the top:
    192.168.0.1
    and press Enter. If the defaults are as simple as what I've shown here, that's how they keep getting back in so easily. All anyone has to do is be in range of your wireless signal, type in this same IP address and get into your router settings by using these uselessly easy to bypass admin name and password settings.
    Once into your router's settings, they can see what you've changed the wireless login password to, and just login again. What you need to do more than anything is keep them out of your router's settings.
    Go into the router's settings as I described using 192.168.0.1 in Safari. Find the wireless settings and turn all wireless off so no one is getting a signal. This will keep them out while you change things.
    1) Change the router's wireless security to WPA2.
    2) Change the wireless password to a new, hard to guess password as steve359 showed. Long, random, obnoxious passwords are best. At least 16 characters long.
    3) Now, go to the admin login page and give the login password an equally long and difficult password. Remember to do all of this with wireless broadcasting OFF, or they will be able to watch everything you're doing.
    4) Now turn wireless access back on. They will no longer able to login to your router to see your wireless access password. Not unless they manage to guess a very hard long and difficult password.
    Make sure to write these passwords down so you can get back into the router without manually resetting it.

  • Firefox no longer works and I can't seem to get it fixed

    Over the past week, firefox has stopped working on both my windows xp machine and a windows Vista machine. it tells me I need to restart the computer to allow an upgrade to occur. I have tried the solution on the website to find and delete xpicleanup.dat, but it isn't working. I can't uninstall it, and I can't install a new version. Please help

    You'll actually need to order a snow leopard DVD first.  Then you can download mountain lion via the app store.  Confirm you meet the requirements:  http://www.apple.com/osx/specs
    If you dont, you might be able to get lion instead.  That's an order over the phone, to get a redemption code.
    And make sure you're actually contacting apple:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    You'll also want to confirm your 3rd party apps are compatible before an OS upgrade.  Of course, you'll also want to backup your data.

  • There's a strange bookmark "(no title)" with no icon in my Bookmarks Toolbar folder and I can't seem to get rid of it, plus it causes some problems.

    This "bookmark" can't be deleted nor I can choose the option "Forget About This Site" or anything else. It just won't disappear. Furthermore, when this bookmark is placed in a section (separated by separator) with other bookmarks, it causes them not to be shown in the Bookmarks Toolbar, so I have to place it in a section where there are no other bookmarks but this one, still I can't get rid of it nor know I got did it get there. I tried running Firefox in safe mode and whatnot but nothing seems to work. Please help me out.
    Thanks,
    Ed

    I should have figured that out from your original post. I think there is a possibility that your bookmarks/history database (places.sqlite) has a corrupted record. Rather than take drastic action on that immediately, could you do a test? The test is to exit Firefox, rename your existing database, and restart Firefox. Firefox should import your last bookmarks backup. You then could check whether the problem remains or whether you got a clean restore of bookmarks. After the test, assuming you prefer to retain your history, you could undo the procedure and try restoring your bookmark backup into the database to see whether that overwrites the problem record. If not, then we would go back to possible drastic action.
    '''Test procedure''':
    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
    Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
    Switch back to Firefox and Exit
    Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''places.sqlite''' to something like places_20130614.sqlite. Keep this window open.
    Restart Firefox. By design, Firefox should import your last automatic bookmark backup.
    If you return to the Library dialog, how does it look?
    '''To reverse the test''' (but preserve a backup of your history/bookmark database):
    Exit Firefox
    Delete the newly created places.sqlite file
    Right-click copy and paste the places_20130614.sqlite and rename the copy to places.sqlite
    Restart Firefox and open the Library dialog. Should look like it did a few minutes ago before any changes.
    ''If the test showed no corruption,'' try to restore your last bookmarks backup. The procedure is described in this article: [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]].
    Does any of that get us closer to a solution?

  • My daughter some how deleted the app store icon off my phone and I can't seem to get it bk what do I do please

    Hi my daughter managed some how to delete the app store icon from my home screen and I cannot seem to be able to find it can anyone help

    The App Store app cannot be deleted (it also can't be downloaded and isn't part of any backup, so ignore the other comment) so either she moved it to another home screen, dropped it into a folder, or turn off "Installing Apps" in the General/Restrictions settings. 
    If you check Restrictions and Installing Apps is turned on and you can't find the App Store app otherwise, you can go to the General/Reset area and reset the Home Screen Layout. That should get it back.
    Regards.

  • I have lost the URL box on the top of the page and I can't seem to get it back -- I don't want to reset everything -- only return the URL box on the top -- how can I do that?

    I am not sure what to add -- how can I return the URL address box on the top of the page ... along with the buttons to go to the previous page has disappeared and I can't make them come back ...

    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * If items are missing then open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
    * If a missing item is in the toolbar palette then drag it back from the Customize window on the toolbar
    * If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up.
