Non-appearing slide objects - where did it go?

How do I get a delayed-timing object to appear when the slide is previewed with others or published? The object seems to be working correctly in a preview of the slide alone, but when it is previewed with others, the object doesn't appear on the slide. Help, please.

Hi there
Likely you have a Button, Click Box, Text Entry Box or other object on the slide pausing it before the object your affection has a chance to display.
If you are able, please post back with a screen capture of your Timeline showing all elements.
Oh, and please use the Camera icon to insert. Don't attach it.
Cheers... Rick

Why can I no longer see my non-smart playlists? where did they go?

I have an extensive list of playlists, both smart and non-smart. I can currently see all my smart playlists, but my non-smart ones are no longer visible. They are there on my ipod, which I havnt' sync'ed in a while. I am afraid to sync my ipod, if it will rease the nonsmart lists. What happened?

Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #1, Repair Permissions, followed by Option #4, Rebuild Database, if needed.

I rented a movie on my iPad. It began to download but then it disappeared. The movie appears in my rented videos, but when I click it, it says, "video rented but not downloaded. Go to downloads to manage downloads". Where did my downloads go?

I rented a movie on my iPad. It began to download but then it disappeared. I freed up a ton of storage space to make sure I had the room for it. The movie appears in my rented videos, but when I click it, it says, "video rented but not downloaded. Go to downloads to manage downloads". Where did my downloads go? I re-booted my iPad, signed off/on iTunes etc. I can't find a folder with downloadable items anywhere. ITunes just tells me, "you've already rented this video. Do you want to rent it again?" What happened to my movie?

Did you check the Videos app?

Where did my object go? :(

I'm having a bit of trouble passing an object from one view to the next and I was really hoping someone could give me a hand.
I am using a table view that when an item is clicked, an object is passed to the next view based on the selected item. When the user clicks an object I retrieve the appropriate object for that row and then set the item property of the view controller they are being sent to:
iPhoneHelloWorldAppDelegate *appDelegate = (iPhoneHelloWorldAppDelegate *)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
Item *item = (Item *)[appDelegate.items objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
if(self.itemView == nil) {
ItemViewController *viewController = [[ItemViewController alloc] initWithNibName:@"ItemViewController" bundle:[NSBundle mainBundle]];
self.itemView = viewController;
[viewController release];
[self.itemView setItem: item]; *// ITEM IS SET HERE FOR NEXT VIEW*
[self.navigationController pushViewController:self.itemView animated:YES];
self.itemView.title = [item itemName];
If I step through the code and go to the line after the Item property is set I can call self.itemView.item and the correct object is returned to me. However, after the view is pushed if I stop the debugger in viewDidLoad of ItemViewController, the item property is now nil.
My item property is defined as follows in the ItemViewController.h:
@property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet Item *item;
So what I want to know is... where did my item go after I set it and pushed the view to current?
P.S. Why do these forums completely destroy source code...

My mistake, I misunderstood what you had said about how to format it.
I did some further tests to check the integrity of my object. In my item object's constructor I initialized a string with a random number in it. Stepping through I found that the constructor is only getting hit once, but even so by the time my object reaches the ItemViewController all of its fields have been nulled. Could someone show me how to manually implement my properties so that they are not generated for me? I'd like to slap some breakpoints in the setters to see if I can get a better feel for what's going on.

self.itemView.title = [item itemName];
//[item release];

My iPhone 5 was restored from backup, and while it was restoring everything else all my pictures slowly went from 900 to none. where did they go and how do I get them back?

My iPhone has been acting very strange lately and the only way to get it to turn on and function is to restore it. I restored it from a backup of my phone before I restored it. I was mostly worried about my pictures. I was relieved to see them all there,
until the number of photos in my camera roll and other albums began to go down. soon enough, all the pictures I had restored were deleted. where did they go and how can I get them back?

Hi bluegrandpanash,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you backed up your iPhone to iCloud before updating the software, first try the steps under "Restore from an iCloud backup" in this article to recover your data:

Where did the 'sending mail' bar go?

I remember at some point, when I sent a msg with an attachment, there used to be a bar which would fill on the bottom lefthand side of the window showing how much of the message had been sent. Once it would fill (indicating that 100% of the msg was sent), Mail would ding and the msg would appear in my sent folder. Where oh where did this 'sent mail' bar go?
And how do I get it back?

Hiya there,
that should be easy:
at the bottom left (of your complete macmail window), you see a plus sign, an +arrow in a square box+ and a preferences cog wheel. click on the middle arrow in square box), the mail activity window will slide up, and you can see what is happening again.

I BOUGHT & downloaded MPEG 2 QT component, where did it go?

I bought & downloaded MPEG2 QT component in order to use for editing video from a DVD with home movies that had been converted from tapes. When I put on computer it was .cdr which could not be used in iMovie. I need to convert to one that will work. I also got MPEG Streamclip, both on advice from a forum discussion. My question is, where did it go on my computer? I have searched with Spotlight & it wasn't found.

If your response was meant for me...
I looked into Macintosh>system>library>QuickTime & found 17 items.
Apple GVAHW.component
Apple Pixlet video.comp
Apple ProRes Decoder.comp
Apple VAH 264 HW.comp
Quartz Composer.resources
QuickTime 3GPP.comp
QT Components.comp
QT Fire Wire DV.comp
QT IIDC Digitizer.comp
QT H264.comp
QT Importers.comp
QT MPEG.comp
QT MPEG2.comp
QT MPEG4.comp
QT Streaming.comp
QT USB VDC Digitizer.comp
QT VR.comp
If "QT MPEG2.comp" refers to this component:
Then it would appear that you indeed have the correct component installed in the proper location.
I then brought up MPEG Streamclip beta & put my DVD in drive. I found Video_TS folder & dragged the .VOB files into Streamclip & when finished, I used FILE/Export using QT to convert files to Apple Intermediate Codec Component (which I saw in Library/QuickTime & also Apple MPEG2 codec.component). I chose to rename file clip & saved it. I opened iMovie & tried to import the file I just saved but they were gray, not black & would not import.
Made a quickie clip of what I do in MPEG Streamclip. Basically, this includes:
1) Dropping one or more non-zero VOB file for a single or multiple titles to the main MPEG Streamclip window.
2) Fix timecode breaks and set in/out points if needed.
3) Select desired export settings (in this case AIC video at 80% quality with uncompressed audio using default settings).
4) Set name and path for target output file.
When the conversion is finished, I test playback in the QT 7 player and add the file to iMovie if needed. Here is a 4 minute video I made minutes ago demonstrating my work flow. If you can't do this, then there is either problem with your computer, its software configuration, or Lion OS 10.7.4 has broken the normal work flow and this is yet another issue with the latest update to be reported to Apple.

I have pages and now I have lost half my documents where did they go and how do I get them back

I have an IPad and use Pages. Now half of my documents are gone. Where did they go and how do I get them back.

If you backup your iPad, then the documents should be in your backup. If you have important documents in any app, you should backup very frequently in the event that something happens so that you can restore them from the backup.
If you use iOS file sharing with iTunes, then the documents might be in your iTunes library.
If you use iCloud with Pages, check in iCloud,com and see if they appear in there. I don't think it is likely that they will be there, if they disappeared from the iPad, but it is worth a try anyway.
In the event that this is some software glitch, try closing the Pages app, reboot the iPad and then launch Pages again.
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the Pages icon. Tap the home button twice.
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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If you don't backup, don't use iOS file sharing or don't use iCloud, then most likely your files are gone and you will not be able to retrieve them.

Magic Moves not always Magic (non-linear slide orders)

Magic Moves opens the possibility of non-linear slide orders with animated transitions. Previously in keynote (KN '08), as far as I could ascertain, this was impossible. Now a slide with several hyper-linked objects can enjoy an animation of the on screen objects to there new positions, where-ever they may be on the on the linked slides.
Unfortunately, as in some other things Keynote, it seems flakey. While it works most of the time for some reason, even when duplicating the linking slide and repositioning the very same objects, the Move is delayed and instantaneous: decidedly not Magic!
The joy of being able to finally make the fully interactive Keynote presentation that will slide objects the right amount automatically according to there destination slide seems possible. The great thing is I don't have to construct all the different moves linking 26 different pages to each other via various routes (8 links on each page, which happened to be 8x26 possible linking routes = 208 move builds: too much for prescriptive build/move animations).
But if I can't get it too work 100% I can't really show my client. Any know issues with this Magic Move stuff?
I can replicate problem but not predict when it won't work or decode what is triggering the problem. Searching forum only revealed comment the Magic Move is work in progress. Note I am not scaling any objects. Can upload if it helps. Part of the original Presentation with a linear narrative can be seen at:
http://www.vimeo.com/3018559
Essentially I am endeavouring to make all the images 'clickable' so the film strip glides (against the preset order) to become the centre project. Also like to add a left and right button. All this can be theoretically done with invisible rect's with hyperlinks and Magic moves on each slide.
Thanks for reading though all this – hope it's clearer than mud.

Thanks for the response, Kyn.
As it happens writing that long explanation, I thought I'd look from another angle and returned to the file – finding the answer straight away.
Conclusion:
Hyperlinks never use Magic Move transition, even if it is selected transition for the slide. I was getting hoodwinked by the fact that when I had forward and back arrows with hyperlinks to other slides, those slides were before and after the current slide. So they were Magic Moving with a mouse click on the Hyperlink, but only when forward one slide or backward one slide. Any other linking distance failed to Magic Move.
I've already made the feature request but *please second it*, this would be a very powerful feature. Think Non-Linear Presentations and Info Kiosks with seamless transitions. And interaction is an area Powerpoint has decided edge on Keynote so it can and needs to be closed! (PP is such a trial of an interface after KN).

Captivate closes down when importing slides/objects/widgets

My Captivate 4 is bugging up. When I try to import slides/objects or widgets the slide goes white and the program shuts down.
I need to use the import function to complete my movies, and do not have time to recreate them all.
Does anyone know why this is happening, and if I there is a way to fix it?
None of my movies are more than 30 screens, so it should not be size.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

Hello and welcome to the forum,
Seems indeed that something got corrupted, could be a slide (or more) or objects. But it is difficult to tell the real cause. To detect the culprit, try to copy to a new blank project (same resolution), but not all slides at once. How did you copy/paste images: from another application or between slides? If it is from a graphical app please use the Insert function to preserve quality.

I downloaded an ibook on my ipad. where did it go/

II downlaoded an Ibook on my Ipad. I can not find it in ibook. Where did it go.

If you downloaded it from the ibookstre then it should be in the iBooks app - in iBooks you've got 'Books' selected via the Collection button at the top of the bookshelf ? And does the ibook show as 'downloaded' when you tap on the Store button at the top left of the iBooks app and then go into the Purchased tab at the bottom ?
Have you tried closing iBooks app completely and seeing if the book shows when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the iBooks app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the iBooks app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option if the two above don't work is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

I lost all my notes from my iPhone 4S after synching last night. Where did they go?

Hi..
If you have iCloud enabled, tap Settings > iCloud
Switch Notes off then back on then restart your iPhone.
Hold the power button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off. After it is off, press the power button to turn it back on.
