Previously working clips now cannot be previewed
I have several inprocess projects that I have been working on for a few and suddenly clips that I could preview just a few days ago, no longer play. I have verified that I can re-import an existing clip and can then play or preview it, but one project is due in a week and I do not have time to recreate from scratch.
I am concerned on the impact of re-importing all the clips on my current projects that use them.
Does anyone have any ideas on either the cause of the preview problem or a way to reimport all the clips without having to rebuild my projects?
Try closing imovie, locating the clips thumbnails and deleting them before restarting imovie.
You may want to try a small number of thumbnails to start with.
By default thumbnails are located at home/movies/imovie events/event name/imovie thumbnails

I have downloaded Viber to my iphone 4S, it was previously working, but as of today it has continually asked for an internet connection when i try to make a call or send a message. It displays this message while connected to the internet at my home, or with 3g. my internet connections seems to work fine on other apps that require this. I have tried to reinstall viber but i can not not setup my profile becauase the same message displays. does anyone know how i can resolve this?
Thanks, as it still will not work, I assume it is damaged and needs to be sent in for repairs.

TUTORIAL: Previously working effects now missing? Here's the fix...
WARNING: This process involves editing the Windows registry, so if you are squeamish about that sort of thing, do not attempt this. I'm not responsible for broken computers, hurt feelings, or terrified household pets.
I've ocassionally run into an issue since CS4 where certain plugins/effects would spontaneously cease loading in Premiere Pro and functioning, and it apparently continues to affect CS5. This happened on three total different computers, so I'm not sure what the underlying cause is. There was no clear reason why this would happen: I'd use the effect one day, come back the next and load my project, and the effects would be reported as "missing" upon project load:
This doesn't happen with the "built-in" effects that ship with Premiere, but it has happened repeatedly with the Cycore effects (copied from the AE plugins directory) or with third-party plugins like those from DigiEffects, Red Giant, Trapcode, etc. After this loading mesage, the instance of the filter would show up in the Effects Control Panel as "Offline Filter" and the filter would have no effect on the clip to which it is applied. This isn't a case of the effect simply not being compatible with Premiere, as they had previously showed up in the Effect bin and could be applied and used, as evidenced by the error pop-up above. Uninstalling and reinstalling the plugins has no effect on correcting the issue. After a bit of hunting around, I finally figured out how to correct the problem--not the underlying cause, which I still cannot pinpoint, but I can at least get the filters/effects/plugins loading and operating again. Note that the following applies to Windows systems; I'm not sure if this affects Macs, and if it does, I have no clue as to how to correct it.
In Explorer, go to the following folder: C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Premiere Pro\5.0. Inside, you will find a file called Plugin Loading.log. This is simply a text file which you can open with Notepad or a similar text editor. In it, you'll find a long list of entries like this:
Anything that says "The plugin was successfully loaded from the registry" was obviously successfully loaded, and therefore able to be used in Premiere. However, upon scrolling through the file, you will see something like this (using the CC Snow example from above):
At some point in the list, the successfully-loaded plugins will stop and the list will change to "The plugin is marked as Ignore, so it will not be loaded." Herein lies the problem and the solution; we need to correct this issue in the registry, since we know from the above example that the plugins are loaded from the registry.
In Windows, click the Start button/orb, and select Run; in the panel that appear, type in regedit. This will launch the Registry Editor. A good safety precaution before going any further is to select File > Export and save your ENTIRE registry by selecting the All radio button. Pick a location and back it up; it may take a few moments. This is important to do if you're not familiar with editing the registry, because you can pretty quickly toast your OS installation if you poke at animals you shouldn't. You've been warned.
Navigate to the following key in the Registry Editor: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Premiere Pro\5.0\PluginCache.64\en_US. Here, you will see a long list of other subkeys, each of which bears the name of a plugin. If you click on one of the keys in the left pane (looks like a folder icon from Explorer), you will see a list of values, their types, and the data they hold in the pane on the right. Using the Plugin Loading.log text file as a guide, compare a plugin that loads with one that doesn't. You'll see the following disparity:
If the "Ignore" value is set as "0" (binary data), the plugin loads; if the "Ignore" value is set as "1," the plugin does not load. Based on this information, the solution should be apparent:
Using the Plugin Loading.log text file as a guide, change this data for any "Ignore" value set to "1." An important note: this does not "enable" effects that wouldn't otherwise work in Premiere Pro anyway. For example, some of the Cycore effects, like Time Blend, Time Blend FX, and Split 2, do not work in Premiere, regardless of how the "Ignore" value is set. If you should happen to change them, Premiere will set the value to "1" the next time you launch the program.
Once you've changed these values (there's no need to save, as the changes are immediately made to the registry), launch Premiere. If you were successfully, nothing interesting will happen--you'll be greeted with no error messages, and your once-missing effects will resume their place and settings on your sequence clips. You can confirm the "fix" by reopening Plugin Loading.log (be sure to have closed this file before relaunching Premiere, as it is simply overwritten each time), and looking for the entries that were previously ignored:
There you have it. Again, I don't know the reason why this happens, but I've been bitten by this oddity numerous times in CS4, and now in CS5. My best guess is that it happens when Premiere crashes during loading (which seems to happen to me) or there is some other "issue" during launch. As a sort of self-defense mechanism, Premiere tells the registry to disable these plugins to ensure a successful load the next time the program is launched, but then they are not automatically re-enabled, and hence the need for this somewhat convoluted fix. Under normal circumstances, I would imagine that relatively few users will ever encounter this issue--but if you do, you now know how to get back to work.A great set of screen clips & tutorial. But I'm compelled to tell you guys it's even simpler than that.
All you have to do is delete the en_US keys for both the Premiere Pro & After Effects plug-in caches in the registry at:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Premiere Pro\5.5\PluginCache.64\en_US &
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\After Effects\10.5\PluginCache.64\en_US
Of course, have the applications closed prior to deleting the keys. Upon launching the Premiere Pro & After Effects again, both applications will regenerate their cache folders (they'll re-appear) in the registry & you should then see all your installed plug-ins if they are installed in the correct folders & aren't corrupted.
Note that Pr & Ae will take significantly longer to launch as it re-scans all the installed plug-ins again.
If you don't want to dig through the registry, here's a copy of VBscripts to do it for you. Don't see all your plugins? One of the apps choose to ignore your plug-in's without provocation?
...just run these & re-launch the Premiere & After Effects. Enjoy.

I have used quicktime player downloads for movie clips made for equipment inspections. However in 2011 I encountered a problem when trying to view previously made movie clips that are in the quicktime player format but they won't play giving the messgae : Error-202 a bad movie atom was found in the movie,
I have downloaded the latest Quicktime player but the problem still remains. However late in 2011 when this problem was encountered I downloaded the the latest QT player download and then could play the movie clips but now the problem is back.
How do I fix this problem.
Regards
RichardHello,
This doesn't really solve the problem, but why don't you ask your colleague to resave or export test.3gp?
The new file will probably work. (vs troubleshooting your Windows PC can take ages, to no avail) -
I am updating the OS on my MacBook Pro from 10.5.8. I have installed 10.6.8 and the 10.6.8 combo v1.1. I cannot open my older version of Preview and do not appear to have a newer version which i thought would be on the Snow Leopard dvd. How can I get the correct version of Preview and is it advisable to upgrade to OS7 andOS8?
It is always installed with whatever new version of OS X is installed or appropriate updates. Since you plan to go forward your choice depends on your model. I would urge you to perform a clean install instead of continuing the upgrade path which may interject incompatibilities.
Upgrading to Yosemite
You can upgrade to Yosemite from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Yosemite can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for FREE.
Upgrading to Yosemite
To upgrade to Yosemite you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Download Yosemite from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Yosemite is free. The file is quite large, over 5 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
OS X Mavericks/Yosemite - System Requirements
Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Yosemite
1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later
3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 2,1 or later
5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
7. Xserve (Early 2009) - Model Identifier 3,1 or later
To find the model identifier open System Profiler in the Utilities folder. It's displayed in the panel on the right.
Are my applications compatible?
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
Upgrading to Lion
If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Yosemite, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
You can purchase Lion at the Online Apple Store. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax. It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
Lion System Requirements
1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
or Xeon processor
2. 2GB of memory
3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
4. 7GB of available space
5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
Before attempting a clean install you want to first download the appropriate installer application from the App Store. It will download into your Applications folder. You need to make a copy of it in your Downloads folder so you can make a bootable USB flash drive:
Make Your Own Mavericks, Mountain/Lion Installer
After downloading the installer you must first save the Install Mac OS X application. After the installer downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the leftside list. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list.
Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash drive size.
Use DiskMaker X to put your installer clone onto the USB flash drive.
Make your own Yosemite flash drive installer using the Yosemite tool:
You can also create a Yosemite flash drive installer via the Terminal. Yosemite has its own built-in installer maker you use via the Terminal:

HT201514 Time capsul stopped working and now cannot be mounted
After hourly backups for the last month (since I bought Time Capsul), Time Machine just stopped. Initially, the message in Time Machine was "backup delayed". I clicked on "backup now" and that message disappeared -- so did Time Capsul. Now Airport Utility no longer "sees" Time Capsul.
-- Time Capsul is the 3TB model, purchased a little more than one month ago.
-- I am backing up roughly 700 GB of data
-- Both My iMac and my Macbook Pro run on OS X 10.7.5
My iMac is connected to Time Capsul by Ethernet cable.
My Macbook Pro is connected wirelessly
Neither the iMac nor the Macbook Pro can "see" the Time Capsul, or find it in Airport Utility. Both my iMac and my Macbook Pro have been backing up flawlessly for more than a month. The backup stopped yesterday with the message "backup delayed", as previously stated.
Is there an explanation and a fix for this problem? That's a pretty short life span for a month old $500.00 purchase.My Mac book Pro does, in fact, see Time Capsule and is able to do a backup via wireless connection.
My Internet connection works fine -- Time Capsule light is green.
As to your question of: "Did you upgrade to 10.7.5 after the first faulty update was released?", I can't answer that question. I have no memory of a notification of a faulty update. I do, however, have the build 11G63 installed.
Would it be beneficial to do a factory reset?
Don't you just love it when nothing makes sense.. !!
Yes, do a factory reset of the TC..
Using the airport utility, on whichever computer can connect.. give the TC SMB names for everything.. TC network name, wireless names, and hard disk name.. that means, short, no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
In Lion use the 5.6 utility.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
The v6 airport is a toy.. plastic hammer.. suitable for toyland networks.
You might need to reset the TM in the computers..
A4 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
Are you using the TC as router or in bridge? What broadband do you have?
Check for instance the ethernet is working from the connectivity led on the ethernet port of the TC.. it will show green. -
Clips go blank when I drag them from an event to the project itself. The clips are still intact in the event.
I have tested creating a new project and different clips but the error recurs - now I can't add anyclips at all to any projects,
Has anyone got a solution to this problem please?Trashing iMovie's preference file may fix this problem.
Go to your Home folder <your user name>/Library/Preferences (not the Library folder at the top level in Macintosh HD). Similar to Lion, on Mountain Lion (10.8.3), the Home Library folder will be hidden (unlike pre-Lion OS X versions). To access it, click and hold down Go in the Finder menu bar, then press and hold down the Option key - the Library folder will appear in the drop down list. Slide the pointer down to highlight the Library. As you release the mouse button the Library folder will open.
In the Library/Preferences folder, locate a file named "com.apple.iMovieApp.plist". With iMovie closed, drag this file to the Desktop. When next opened, iMovie will create a fresh preference file with the default settings (you can change these settings in the menu item "IMovie>Preferences" if desired). Also, it's now safe to drag the old preference file to the Trash. Trashing the file will not harm your existing Events or Projects.
Note that these instructions apply to iMovie '11, which you are using. For those on iMovie '09 the preference file is named "com.apple.iMovie8.plist". Earlier versions have a similar name.

It's a 32-bit. I have tried to install both the iTunes 32 and 64 bit, nothing happens after I click on the iTunes installer. It was working fine but after it stopped working (it would just be a white screen), I uninstalled. I tried to run the setup as an administrator and turned off my antivirus and firewall too, but it's not doing anything. I tried to restart the laptop and also tried another account on the computer, it did not work. This is a new Toshiba laptop with Windows 8.
When I say it does nothing, I mean nothing. No popups, no screen flicker, absolutely nothing. All my other files work fine, it's only this.
Thanks.It worked fine but I think the update may have caused this problem, not sure if there is some fix. The install exe does not even open.

Restored iPod to 4.2.1 Previously working apps now say "Update Required: This app requires IOS 4.3"
I recently restored my iPod Touch because e-mail, contacts, and calendar stopped working. Upon restore, I noticed many apps failed to reinstall. Apps like Yelp, Facebook, etc. Roughly 10-15 in total are missing entirely. I can select the app in iTunes and move the icon but the application will not install. If I install the app from the iPod its self, an error comes up saying "Update Required: This app requires IOS 4.3". IOS 4.3 is not available for my iPod.
I don't care if I don't have the latest version on the App store, but I do want the latest version available for my device.
How do I install the latest compatible version from the App store onto my iPod?
(I also have a new iPad. I think that had a part to play in replacing the compatible apps with incompatible ones.)Mr Spork wrote:
Ouch. Well that was a terrible tradeoff... lose 15 apps to get 3 working.
We're all getting caught out by that one. Time for some feedback to Apple...

I cannot get time machine (with airport) to back up my mac. It worked previously but not now. It is working on my macbook. the message i get is "Time Machine couldn't back up to '(airport network name)'" Any help is appreciated.
OS is important.. What OS is on Mac and what is on the working macbook?
Was the Airport setup from the Macbook? That might be why it works from there..
Does the AE show up in Mac airport utility?
Can you mount the disk in finder and copy files to it/from it??
Did you try a TM reset after mounting in Finder.. so you know it is available?
What about a network reboot.. does it work post a restart for a few minutes/hours/days??? -
I am using Garageband and I cannot hear the previously recorded tracks on my headphones. I am using an audio input/output device, EMU0404 - this was previously working fine but stopped. All cables check out OK and so does the unit - I have updated to the latest version of Garageband but this did not help. Any suggestion?
Hi Christoph,
I cannot see anything wrong with the EMU0404. This is what puzzels me ... Garageband looks OK - headphones are OK - EMU looks OK.
Thanks anyway

I downloaded newest version of Numbers as prompted, but now cannot open old work
I downloaded newest version of Numbers, as prompted, but now cannot open old work.
When I try to, the message is that I need to download new version.
Because I help run a small business, I have found a work around, for now, with old template, so we can still keep billing (very important)
but I just realized that when printing a saved pdf format copy of an invoice, completed after the
update, the color logo is not printing even though it appears to be there.
I guess this is two problems.
I have a Mac OSX version 10.9.4 and downloaded, I thought, Numbers 3.2.2 (but did not pay for app)
thanks,Margarita,
You should still have the previous version of Numbers and may continue to use it.
The previous version is located in the folder "/Applications/iWork '09"
You can tell the difference between the two versions by noting the icon:
Numbers 2.3 Number 3.2
3 bars 4 bars
I keep both in my dock so that I know which one I am launching -
