My SPDIF/Optical option has vanished into thin air! W

I have a Audigy sound Blaster platinum series card and I dump off music through an optical wire. The spdif/optical option to click on has vanished! It's the only thing I use! I've looked all over the program and can't find it. It's like it has been deleted from the file! I recently installed a new power source. Could that be the problem? I'm DESPERATE here! I need help!

Hi Thank You for such a quick responce.
The photos iPhoto was importing was my entire library of previously imported pics. I assume they were located in my user-Pictures-iPhoto library.
I just did another search for one of the missing photos and it shows that it's in that directory but that it's Zero KB on disk.
I thought I had them backed up on an external hard drive but they seem to be missing too. All the folders are there but they are all empty.
It does not start importing again when I relaunch iPhoto.
How does one find an invisible folder?

My notes vanished into thin air on my iPhone 5.

All my data in notes just disappeared, vanished into thin air and I didn't do anything? How can this happen. I'm using iPhone 5. Please advice, need to know why this happened so that it doesn't happen again.

Hi Dickey,
Didn't you backup the Bookmarks.plist ??
When not than I'm afraid that they are all gone as you said, but when you use Fire Fox to as second web browser you can export the Bookmarks back to Safari.
Good luck ... post back how things went ...

Keynote file vanished into thin air

I have recently encountered this extremely frustrating situation where my keynote file that contained over 100 slides just disappeared into thin air. It is not located in the folder where it's supposed to be and does not appear under recently open folder. The only place that it shows is under apple > recent items but nothing happen when the file is clicked. I have found similar discussion thread regarding this issue and apparently less people are facing this problem with the new updates (I suppose). This is actually the first time I have this issue with Keynote (6.2.2), it has been an amazing software.
Keynote crashed, presentation file disappeared
I forced restart last night but I made sure the file was saved to the latest version and this morning I updated OSX to Maverick 10.9.5, so I'm not sure at which point the problem occurred nor which caused this to happen.
Have anyone found a way to recover the file that seems like it never exists? I have tried iSkysoft Data Recovery but the file is not in the folder I placed, plus disk utility did not work for me as well. For the time being, I will just have to start over and make sure to backup the file somewhere else but any kind of suggestions would be appreciated.

Majority of my pics just vanished into thin air

I was working on my computer and clicked onto iPhoto and saw that it was "importing" every pic (over 5000) that I've taken. I stopped the "import" and now thousands of my pics are missing.
They aren't in the trash. They aren't on my harddrive. I didn't do anything to make this happen. I have no idea what's going on!
iPhoto still shows the thumbnails but when I go to view the pics they don't load.
I've tried using spotlight to find them, nothing. I've looked in the pictures-iPhoto library in the finder, nothing.
Please, if anyone has any idea what's happened, help!
thank you
Cameron
PS - I am a very experienced mac/computer user, I'm not a newbie freaking out. I've never seen anything like this.

Messages Stuck In Outbox Vanished Into Thin Air

I sent a bunch of important messages to my e-mail when browsing Safari, but for some reason they weren't going through and were stuck in my outbox.Now all of a sudden all those messages are nowhere to be found in my mailbox, and I know I didn't delete them.Would an update wipe them all out?Is there any way to recover them?I don't understand why all of a sudden they are gone.I have looked everywhere for them.

I had an excellent Apple support agent named Luis who helped out. Re-installed the account partially. Discovered that there is in fact a bug in Yosemite. The mail client in mac will not save the outgoing server address and confusion amongst different mail account happens, added to outbox messages stuck. Hopefully Apple will correct bug in later OS X version. Case number 753401346

They All Vanished into thin air

My bookmarks are gone. My ibook G4 was in sleep mode. When I opened Safari, it took longer than normal to start up and when it did, all of my bookmarks were gone. I'm using safari version 1.3.2.
Any ideas as to what happened and how I can retrieve my bookmarks?

My export uncompressed option has vanished!

Hi,
I've just found that I can no longer export Uncompressed 10 bit or 8 bit from FCP or Quicktime. The option has just vanished from the drop down menu. I had problems last week with my MPEG2 component vanishing as well!
Anyone having the same problem? Any ideas on how to get my Uncompressed export option back?
Thanks in advance,

5.1 Option has vanished from Creative volume control...

I have Creative's 5800 5.1 speaker system, and creative volume control on my computer. Used to be, I could just select 5.1 in the creative volume control settings and there you have it. Magically this seems to have vanished from the Speaker/headphone selection options leaving me only with 4.1 and 7.1 as options. Any idea why or how I may get the 5.1 option back?

Managed to answer my own question if you install the creative console launcher version 2.60.29 it installs the volume panel as well and you can then install the newer version of the console launcher which will uninstall the older console launcher but leave the volume panel in place. i would say one thing though i'm surprised creative seem to have removed this usefull add-on (volume panel) installer from the newest creaitve console launcher install as i find it a far better volume control than windows and would think they would ship it with all versions of the console launcher not just the older one avaliable for [email protected]

Into thin air

Hello, I have a Aound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS Platinum sound card and so far, it has been a fantastic purchase. But... All of a sudden, in the EAX Advanced HD console, all of the EAX effects on the effects tab have dissappeared rather perculiarly. On top of this, on the THX setup console and speaker configuration tabs, the list of speaker configurations (2., 5., 6., 7., Headphones etc.) has also gone missing!! Why is this? And is there anything I can do to fix the problem? I tried reinstalling the software and it worked fine for a bit and then stopped working again. The problem seems to arise after I close the DVD Audio player which crashes everytime and restarts my computer ARGH!
Any help would be much appreciated!

I am having a similar problem. I have an Audigy 2. In both my Audio?HQ? and my Audio Consol my mute headphones tab dissappears after a few restarts. Only a fresh install will bring them back. If I try to update drivers I'm told everything is up to date.

What would cause all my texts between a certain person and myself only disappear into thin air?

How do I remove apps on my iPhone? I've done it before, but can't quite get the combination correct again!! - 4S - Thank you

Thank you sooo much - OK another iPhone question - I probably should do this somewhere else, if so just direct me: I'm new with a squeak! I tried to download my pictures on my iPhone to the big computer and some went and some I could not move (or delete) and they're kind of just stuck there on my phone in Albums. What did I do wrong? Some pictures moved like they were supposed to and some of the others just kind of sat there and continue to stare at me every time I open "Pictures" Thanks in advance if you're the Go-To Guy! Marie

IOS 7.0.4 says I lost over 2 GB into thin air

I upgraded to the new iOS, but when it synced back up I went from having 300 MB of space left to having 2 GB too much. I can't load all my music or podcasts now. I didn't change anything or add anthing to my iPhone. What's the problem?

I am talking about the device. My iPhone says I have 8.3 GB available right now becuase it wouldn't sync my music. I have to deselect my music in order to download the new iOS out of space concerns. I did, downloaded the update, reselected sync my music, resynced, and now I am 2 GB over capacity. How? Before 7.0.4 I used to keep around 200-300 MB free. When I upgraded to the new iOS I didn't change any of the settings. But when it synced it said I am over capacity by 2 GB. How did I go from having 200 MB free to being over capaciy by 2 GB?
Somehow I have over 3 GB of "other" on my phone that I didn't have before. How can I figure out what this is?

On my Mac Pro, when I send emails, it always gives me the option of adding an attachment with a paper clip. Today, the paperclip has vanished. What do I do ?

In iPhoto the option to edit in photoshop elements has vanished

The option in iPhoto>pref>advanced>Edit in>Iphoto or PSE (Photshop Elements) has vanished!! My only option now is to edit in iPhoto or iPhoto library!! I usually edit my RAW files in ACR which has always opened when I hit edit in IPhoto,,,
Help!! Does anyone know what to do???

I may be preaching to the choir but here are some tips on using PSE from within iPhoto:
Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Note: to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.
