Shortcuts broken (Space and some of command + ...)

Hi,
I've read some other people got a similar problem. But the solutions there didn't help.
So here's my problem: Last Sunday, out of a sudden, space to play and command+z stopped working. they always used to work proberly, i don't know what happend... any ideas?
strange part: i use the swiss german keyboard layout - if i change it to german, all the shortcuts work again.
... and i hope anyone got a solution that not sais: "just use the german keyboard" - cuz erm it must work, cuz it used to work before
cheers and thanks for your help...

I would suspect that this is an OS problem, not a fcp problem. Can you test this behavior in any other programs that use these keys and keycombos?
You might go to system preferences: keyboard and mouse: keyboard shortcuts: and click "restore defaults."
Also, try creating a new user in accounts. See if that makes a difference. Please post back and let us know if anything has helped.

Low on disk space, and some dim choices by me

Hello
I am running a bit low on disk space so video editing is a bit of a worry for me! I have a DV camcorder and import hours of footage, only to use a minute or two of that to create a "1 song length" mini film.
After I was happy with a few projects I thought I would delete the raw event files and then as the video had been shared with itunes, and I could no longer make any edit, I went a step further and deleted the project in imovie. Now the problems start :o) It was only after doing this that I realised it would be a good idea to share the finished movie with .mac "My Galley" thing, and media browser. But as the option to do this was in the imovie project I'm a bit stuck. Oh how I wish I had used that time machine thing :o)
For one movie that I really wanted to share on .mac I ended up reimporting the movie back into imovie as a new event then creating a new project. Imagine how silly I feel now!
So I know what not to do! But I'm still a little unclear on what is the best approach. I want to build a movie, share with various places, but delete the raw files and use as little disk space as possible after I am happy with the movie.
Any tips?
Regards
Steve

I don't have iMovie '08, so not sure if this still works in that version or not. But as an iMovie '08 user, you can download and install version 6 which will allow the following...
One way to go about it is to import your tapes, giving you hours of footage. Now do a rough edit of the parts you think you may want to still use by putting clips down on the timeline, rough editing out parts you know you don't want, etc. Do not add transitions, titles, etc. at this time. Just clips to the timeline and rough cuts. So now your timeline is say 15-30 minutes of stuff out of the original hours of stuff. Save the project. Close the project.
Start a new project. Open the folder where the old project is. Right click on the project icon and pick "Show Package Contents" which will open the folder structure of the project. In the folders you should have the project reference QT movie of the same name as you project, eg. MyProject.mov which will be a somewhat small file (kilobytes). You can verify this is your old project as you edited down by simply opening it in QT player and reviewing it to make sure it is just the 15-30 minute rough edit you did.
If it is the right file, drag and drop it onto your new project window. iMovie will now import the footage needed. The nice thing about this is it should only import those 15-30 minutes, not the original hours of footage. Once in the new project and you are satisfied you have the footage you wanted. Save the project and you can now trash the old project, empty the system trash and free up all that drive space. The new project will only have the 15-30 minutes of footage and not all the extra footage from the original tapes.
Disclaimer: I am still an old iMovie 4 user, so also not first hand knowledgeable about iMovie 6. You might be able to simply copy clips off the timeline from the old project to the new project, but I am not sure if that brings over just the footage in those clips, or if it makes a full copy of the original media files (this bringing over the entire clips including the parts you cut out). I am sure other iMovie 6 users can jump in here and help refine the process for iM6 shortcuts I don't know about.

I've lost some keyboard commands and can't get them reset!

I seem to lost some keyboard commands in Photoshop CC. For example... I used to be able to use the Spacebar to temporarily access the Hand Tool - no matter what tool was selected. Now it doesn't do anything. I used to be able to use "Command + Spacebar" to temporarily access the Magnify Tool. This no longer works either. I've reset Default Preferences with no luck. I've also looked through the Keyboard Shortcuts & Menus screen, but it will only let me use (or change) a single keystroke to access a tool. What happened to the ability to TEMPORARILY ACCESS specific tools? I can still use the keyboard combinations mentioned above on my computer at home, but can no longer use them on my computer at work. Does anyone have any suggestions?

You said, "I've reset Default Preferences." Are you referring to Cmd+Opt+Shift? If not, try that reset: Close Photoshop. Now press and hold Ctrl+Alt+Shift as you initiate Photoshop startup. Select "yes" when asked if you would like to reset.

Why do we have to install 2 add ins for something that should be built in? Please add this to the next version or an update to this one even. We should see the full path of a bookmark when we search for it. Show Parent Folder alone isn't enough if you have sub folders, so I installed Go Parent Folder as well in case of sub folders.

How come some of my JPG files show up broken and some don't in my assets panel?

I'm using Adobe Photoshop CS6 and when I create JPG files, some show up in the Assets panel of Dreamweaver and some don't. I'm miffed as to why? I've tried resaving them as JPGs to no avail. When you try and insert the broken ones in Dreamweaver you just get the broken link box. I've also tried to link to the source file to no avail. So, please help!
Dale

Ben,
Thanks for the video. I learned some new stuff about the assets panel that I've been using. However, the problem still remains. Some of the JPGs that I've created in Photoshop CS6 show up fine and some don't. The same happens with Illustrator. I did find a workaround for this though. If you open up the JPGs in Fireworks and create a slice over the image and then export the selected slice, it does show up in the assets panel unbroken. So far it works every time. I don't want keep going to Fireworks though. Adobe needs to fix this problem. In CS4, I never, ever had this problem.
Thanks again Ben...

When pressing one of these keys type two or three characters ( ): ENTER (lçj), SPACE (.;M), BACKSPACE (~h). This latter at the same time turn off the F11 key (sound). The light of wireless key (F12) does not turn on. When turn off the F12 key, all the keys mentioned work well.

I am freeing up some space and am using osx lion, but i have 12gb of back ups, how can i delete these and what are they?

Gotcha.
Back-ups are what they are: a safety copy. If you feel you don't need them, you can trash them. They could be of a previous System if you upgraded, or something else. You wont get the full picture from looking at system profiler.
You may want to look into getting an external drive and offloading some stuff to it.

Problem: There is not enough disk space available to process clips. Clear some space and try again.

Hi there.
I am running the newest FCPX 10.0.9 and Mavericks, and I am editing a large multicam project. I have approx. 190 GB left on my external event/project disk via USB3 (it has 2TB in total), and I get the error message:
"There is not enough disk space available to process clips. Clear some space and try again."
when I am trying to add clips to an angle in one of my multicam clips. I have made more than 8 multicam clips in the same event, without that problem, but now it won't let me add more.
What's the problem?

This was driving me nuts as well until I found the sneaky checkbox. In the editing tab in Preferences there is a checkbox for "Optimize media for multicam." If that's checked, Final Cut is rendering ProRes files for every clip you bring into multicam, so it just eats memory. Unchecking that solved my issues; hope it helps you or anyone who comes across this!

IPod 4th Gen power button broken, game center and some apps won't load.

iPod 4th generation, iOS 6.1.6, power button is broken (will not click at all, I can't let my iPod run out of battery because I won't be able to turn it back on).
Game center, and some of my apps will not load.
I also have issues with apps and Safari crashing, but that isn't a major problem.
For the apps not loading, I've tried deleting them, and then reinstalling them, but it didn't work.
Is there anything I can do about this?

To reset the iPod without the hardware buttons,
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. All your wifi and bluetooth preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected. You will have to rejoin wifi networks and repair BT devices
For Safari problem try going to Settings>Safari and Clear Cookies<data and History.
To turn on an iPod without a Power button just connect the iPod to a charging source

Max,
if you’ve installed the Xcode compiler and its “command line tools” add-on, there’s a lot of text-mode games for which source code can be downloaded and compiled. Back in the Neolithic Age when I was at university, Empire was a multiplayer favorite (see here for one of its current offspring, which can run multiplayer over the Internet, and for which a text-mode client is still available), and Rogue was popular for when solitary play was the only available option.

Pls help: I can't start my mac because I took too much space and now the disk doesn't mount

I am most certain that this is the case: foolishly, I didnt leave much free space and now the disk doesnt want to mount. I tried the single user mode, I also booted from DVD, they appear but the disk utility shows the disk but I cannot repair the disk, because it is unmounted. I tried the basic commands in single user mode, no effect either. I still cant get over the blue screen with the apple logo and a circle running. I need to free up some spasce. Unforetunately, important files were not backedup, so I really cant delete the whole disk. I need to delete specific files.
I came across this in a post:
/sbin/fsck -yf (optional, but a good idea to run a file system check. If you do this, repeat this command if any problems are found.)
/sbin/mount -uw / anables to read and write via the single user mode
/usr/bin/cd /Library/Audio
/bin/rm -R Apple\ Loops - rm is remove
(and any other deletions that you need to do here)
/sbin/reboot
The troulbe is, I dont know where are my big files located - so, how do I orientate myself among the folders? Lets say I would delete my itunes libary, which I would later on renew thanks to the back/up, how would I delete them?
Thank you very much for any advice. I really need to make it work.

Probably some error in typing. Copy the command line from Terminal and post it here, exactly as it is.
a way to install applejack or someother helpful software?
AppleJack only works on the boot disk, and only in single-user mode. IMHO, if there is a space or corruption issue on the disk, the last thing you want to do is to install new software on it.
DU once I select repair disk reports ''it could not unmount'' the disk.
If you chose the right disk, you probably have some process using files on the disk or referencing the disk. For instance, if you have Terminal open and present working directory is on the disk, DU will refuse to unmount it. Make sure you've quit all other apps before using DU. If it still refuses to unmount, you can force it in Terminal
$ diskutil unmountDisk force
and drag the disk from Finder to the Terminal window (there's a blank space after force).
could I somehow use time machine just for my original disk?
I don't know about Time Machine. I suspect you can't use it under your circumstances, but I really don't know.
how to force through adn delete some folders? I still believe that it should solve the problem, shouldnt it?
Not all problems have convenient solutions. If the file system is corrupt (which could well happen when running out of space, let alone the fact that you couldn't boot from the disk and thus the journal couldn't be replayed), then deleting files may not work or may make matters worse. We still don't know why you couldn't boot from the internal disk. It may be because there isn't enough space to create the necessary temp and ancillary files—or it may be because the file system was badly corrupted when the operating system ran out of space.
If you want to stick with it, post here the rm command, as I wrote above. It may or may not work, it may or may not delete the files you want to delete, which may or may not fix the problem. There's no guarantee. It you want to do it right, the only way is to back up everything you can and re-format the internal drive.

Shortcuts for Spaces keeps revert to default settings without cause

I have a Powerbook G4 that's running Leopard 10.5.8. It has plenty of free space on the hard drive (approx 35%).
Whenever I start up my Powerbook or wake it from sleeping, the shortcut keys to switch between Spaces are no longer selected. It retains the designation I gave for which Space each application is assigned to, but the shortcut keys are for some reason reverted to where nothing is selected. Any suggestions??? This is VERY annoying.
Thanks so much for all your help

delete the file home directory/library/preferences/com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist and log out/in. then set spaces shortcuts again and see if they stick from now on.

Shortcuts broken (Space and some of command + ...)
