Why is my cursor not scrolling through video footage?

I used to be able to move the cursor through the time line and the video playhead would play with it, I accidently hit a bunch of keyboard keys and now its not playing that way, I can only click at specific points in the time line to get the playhead to go there. Anyway to get this action going again?

First: (Assuming you closed-out, re-booted, and re-started FCPX) make sure "skimming" is turned on.
If that doesn't do it, then...
Trash your preferences. (Harmless.) Easiest way to do that is to get this tried and true (and free) app:

It will also let you store your preferences for easy recall should you have to "trash" again.
Hope this helps!

  • Why my Ipad2 will not play rented video to a projector via vga adapter connection

    Hi, i want to know why my ipad will not play rented video to a projector using the apple vga adapter connector.  This is just basic mirroring and there should be no problem isn't it?  Please help.
    Thank you

    Technically, yes, it should be easy. However with rented videos you may be running into DRM (DIgital rights management) where you may not be allowed to play that video anywhere but on the iPad. The video could have a bit of programming in it that literally tells the HDMI or VGA output not to work.
    One way to test the connection, with your ipad's camera, shoot a short video and try to mirror that. If it mirrors and the movie doesn't then it's likely that you're simply not allowed to mirror it. If it doesn't play then there may be something wrong hardware or setting wise.

  • Why are my audiobooks not going through home sharing?

    why are my audiobooks not going through for home sharing.

    According to this thread (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3525692), it looks like you are not able to share audiobooks through Home Sharing:
    You can share MP3, AIFF, WAV, AAC, and radio station links, but you cannot share iTunes Store Audio Books, Audible spoken word content, or QuickTime sound files.
    You can leave iTunes feedback here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

  • Why can i not scroll through the InetRadio Favorites ? (per Remote up oder down)

    Hi,
    when i choose some Radiostationgrene like Top40 i can scroll through the Stations via Remote up and down. When i have 4, 5 or many other Favorite Stations (make them Favorite) i can´t scroll through these. I must go back in the menu and click the other favorite Station. .. thats not comfortable.

    Perfect:
    in iTunes/Preferences/Devices tab: check "prevent ...iPhones...from syncing automatically".
    Sync the iPhone.
    When ready, Restore the iPhone.
    When ready, rightclick the iPhone, from the popup menu choose "restore from backup", from the popup window choose the backup you made just before the restore.
    disconnect the iPhone.
    Check out the Music app.

  • Why am I unable to scroll through bookmarks with mouse wheel anymore?

    Used to be able to scroll through bookmarks with mouse wheel, now I am unable to. I have tried reinstalling firefox and disabling all addons but same problem. Please help!

    Hello,
    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    *Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    *In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
    *In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    *Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • My IPad needs double click to access anything and does not scroll through anything

    IPad needs a double click to access anything and then does not scroll down.

    Do you need to tap (and the app/item then gets a box around it) and then double-tap ? If you do then you probably have VoiceOver (one of the accessibility features) 'on'. Try triple-clicking the home button and see if that turns it off, and if it does you can then change what a triple-click does via Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-Click Home.
    If that doesn't turn it off then you can either turn it off directly on the iPad (you need to use a tap-to-select and then double-tap to activate/type process and 3 fingered scrolling) to go into Settings > General > Accessibility and turn VoiceOver 'off', or you can do it by connecting to your computer's iTunes : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4064

  • Why does this MagicMouse not scroll pages?

    I have a new iMac purchased today. It has the MagicMouse and for some reason that is not working properly.
    When I swipe my finger over the mouse (up or down) the web page or application window does not scroll. I have to move the mouse over to the scroll bar, grab it and scroll that way.
    Can someone tell me what might be wrong with this?

    Look in System Preferences > Universal Access > Mouse & Trackpad tab > Mouse options... button > Check scrolling.

  • Scrolling through videos freezes Front Row

    I have many home videos in iTunes and thus Front Row. When scrolling up and down the list of videos in Front Row, I see the thumbnail sized videos begin to run. Eventually Front Row freezes when scrolling up/down through the list. Remote doesn't respond, keyboard and mouse do not respond and ultimately I have to either remotely logon and kill FrontRow.app or reboot. I know that all of these videos are playable without error using the QT player and in iTunes so the files are OK and furthermore are playable in the thumbnails again the next time in FrontRow.
    Anyone see this problem and know how to fix or work around? Thanks in advance.
    BTW, these videos are full sized H.264 videos converted from DVDs I had previously made with a miniDV camcorder. I've played iPod sized versions of these videos in Front Row with no problem except that now I am using an HDTV and the iPod sized versions are no longer good enough.

    I agree, but the problem only occured while scrolling. I was able to play each of the videos beginning to end. The problem was reproducable over a short time but not with any particular set of videos. In any case, the problem did go away as I am able to scroll up/down through all the videos with no problem. There's also been a few firmware updates, OS updates, and quicktime updates. Any of these could have fixed the problem. I'm happy to have my 'media center' Mac back in action.

  • Why are routine processes (mouse scrolling, viewing videos, appearance of typed text) filled with pauses? I've disabled or uninstalled most of my plug-ins, and don't encounter this problem with other browsers.

    My problem is unique to the Firefox browser, and does not occur with Opera or IE.
    Way too often (about once a minute or so), Firefox will suffer a brief pause in performing functions, even simple ones.
    It is impossible for me to watch any video in Firefox without the picture pausing periodically. Oftentimes, text I type suffers a delay before appearing in a web form. Mouse scrolling is not very dependable at all.
    I have disabled or uninstalled most of my plug-ins and add-ons, yet the problem still persists. I have attempted to streamline to only the most necessary plug-ins, but to no avail.
    I love Firefox, but I don't like the choppy videos or downgrading of my productivity these problems are causing.

  • Why does my cursor not automatically select the entire word when I try to select text by starting/ending in the middle of a word?

    In any other browser I've used (or word processor, for that matter) when I select text using my mouse cursor, if I start and/or end in the middle of a word, it automatically selects the whole word when I'm selecting more than one word. But for some reason this is not happening in Firefox. If I try to select say 3 words, and I start in the middle of the first word and end in the middle of the last word, it will only select those parts, not all 3 words entirely.

    Firefox allows to select part of a word. You can select a word with a double click and use Shift + left click to set the end of the selection, so you need to click at the end of the last word instead of in it.

  • Why does my cursor not work when hovering in certain sites?

    Your Mac sends traffic to the interface at the top of the list in
    System Preferences > Network
    When you plug in the second Ethernet, that Interface jumps to the top of the list and all traffic goes there.
    The solution is to cable that Printer to your Router, not to your Mac.
    Alternatively, you could add a small Switch and connect your Mac and the printer to it.
    If you really want to you can use Internet Sharing to add the Ethernet port going to the Printer to the Network connacted to the Internet.

  • Why is my Iphone not working through my vehicle's Aux. port ?????????

    Perhaps someone can respond to my issue with not being able to get my iphone to work through my vehicle's Auxilary Jack.
    I bought a Monster Cable kit for Ipods. It is used to plug into your ipod then into your vehicle's Aux. port. Well it works perfect on my regular Ipod.
    However it does nothing when I try it with my Iphone.
    Any suggestions?

  • Why are my emails not coming through automatically

    My emails are set up to push through 'hourly'  but they aren't coming through.  It works for a while then they suddenly stop coming through and I have to push them manually.  Any ideas?

    You're  using the term "push" incorrectly when you appear to mean "fetch."
    Push means the mail is automatically "pushed" to your device as soon as it arrives to the mail server, not on any time schedual.  Which are you using, push or fetch?  Which mail service?
