"Input contract violation" error message when trying to import a .wav file into AE?

I am trying to import a .wav file into AE and keep getting an "input contract violation" message from the program followed by it shutting down. If it means anything, I bought the song online, but it has been paid for and I downloaded the .wav file after my purchase. Any idea of why this may be happening? Are there any particular settings which may be mandatory on the project timeline to import a 3min song? Thank you!

YOu have not provided any system info, not told us what version of AE you use, your audio setting, what specifics in the audio file and a million other things. See how it may not be possible for anyone to tell you anything beyond "Your computter sucks!" ???

Error message when trying to import Quicktime movies

All of the sudden, I'm getting this weird error message when trying to import various Quicktime movies. I've never seen this message before:
File Error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown
Any thoughts why this might be happening? Any input would be appreciated.

I now see that two of them have been encoded using the AAC, Sorenson Video 3 codec which is not one I've seen before so I suspect that would be it.
The other one I'm having trouble with is encoded using Integer (Big Endian), Animation. I know I've seen the Integer (Big Endian) codec before so do you think that because it's animation that's a problem? I imported several other uncompressed files that were encoded with Integer (Big Endian) that worked fine so that's my suspicion.
Tom, you've always been very helpful on these boards for my questions. Thank you so much.

I Get an error message when trying to import cd's

I keep getting an error message when trying to import cd's - "You don't have write access for your media player"
I already tried going to the itunes media folder and unchecking the "read only" box but it didn't help.
I recently changed computers but since then I've copied cd's to my itunes folder with no problems. Now I get this message.

Try a couple folders up - a parent folder's permissions can cause problems with a child subfolder.
And don't just rely on the read-only box. Go to c/users/username/music, right-click and get permissions, go to the security tab and make sure your username has full control and ownership.

Error message when trying to import photos into Bridge CS5

Hi, when trying to import photos from a card reader into Bridge CS5, I click "get Photos" and get the following error message: "cannot obtain all files from this device. Please ensure the device is connected properly, or that the battery is charged". It imports a small selection of the images from the sd card but that is all. I'm currently using a Windows 7 desktop computer with plenty of ram.
Any suggestions?

Hi station_two, thanks for your quick response.
I can confirm that its not the card reader/cable, usb port, defective sd card or the computer itself. I have already eliminated all these potential culprits through trial and error using different several ports/cards/readers and even a different computer (although not into bridge).
I am able to copy the photos from the same card/card reader into Lightroom on the same computer (incidentally, when using Lightroom it uses the term 'Import photos'!)
I am using a number of Panasonic Lumix Micro 4/3s cameras (GH1/GF1/GX1). The sd cards have a combination of RAW and JPEG and the problem exists whether using 4GB or 16GB cards. I have plenty of space left on my hard drive and as stated, I'm running a fast desktop PC (Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit OS) so I'm certain this is not the issue.
Could this possibly be a problem with the cache?

Error message when trying to import a CD into iTunes

I get an error message when I try to import a CD into iTunes that says the disk cannot be found. I recently requested to uninstall Tune-up because I kept receiving annoying messages to purchase the software. It looks like Tune-up is deactivated, but now I can't import music. Any suggestions?

Without much to go on I think your drive is having problems. It may be something minor such as dust which could possibly be removed using a drive cleaning disc (computer supply store or CD store), or it could be an irregular error in a laser, or tracking, or loose cable, or...
One way to eliminate any iTunes possibility is if it is consistently doing this with a particular CD then try an alternative ripping tool such as XLD or Max.

Does anyone know why I keep getting an unknown error message when trying to export a pages file to a word doc?

Does anyone know why I keep gettin an "unknow error" message in pages when I'm trying to export a file to a word doc?

Do you have a backslash / or other Windows illegal character in the name for the file?

Lightroom Error message when trying to import photos.

I have a Canon 6D and Apple laptop with latest versions of software that I am aware of. Tonight I tried to import images from Micro SD card (inserted directly into laptop) but each time I am getting an error message stating that it can not read my files. It has previously downloaded files from this camera and memory card. The error message is generally giving the number 337 but has also given 555 and 1. I am not sure what has changed and do not know how to fix it. I have tried leaving the SD card in the camera and connecting it directly to the laptop via the cable and it gives the same message. I have also tried googling these error codes but can't make out specifics of the problem and how to fix it.

The “Cannot be Read” message when using LR to import directly from the card or camera means the DESTINATION you have specified in LR is not writable by LR. LR first copies the files to that destination, then LR tries to read the files from there, and it is the second step, the read, that gives the error.
Check your destination and make sure it is where you intend LR to be importing the files to off the card, and make sure it is writable.

Error message when trying to upload a pdf file to a form

A user was trying to upload a pdf file to a form I created (Contractor Vanpool Application Form). The parameters I set, was that it had to be a pdf form, less than 20MB and a single file. She met these parameters, but when she hit the submit button, she received this dialogue box message: Warning: JavaScript Window - File Attachments are not supported in FormsCentral PDF forms. Please contact the form author to send the file attachments another way. This dialogue box prevented her from even getting as far as selecting the file and uploading. Another user was succesfully able to upload a form, so I know this is working. So I changed the parameters to allow multiple files in any format, and she still had a problem.
She states is using windows 95, Internet Explorer. Help, Michelle

In Form Central, when I add a field, I select the Add File Attachment icon (see screen shot below - it is the 10th icon from the left, the paperclip over a sheet):
Then it allows me to fill in the field, describing the file to upload, and the properties to the right defining the file size limit, type of file and other properties. This is all done through formscentral, thus allowing a user in my form to upload a file that is attached to the form when submitted.

I'm getting an error message when trying to download a PDF file.

Its says that 'FoxitReaderOCX.ocx failed to load'? What do I need to do. I've reloaded both Adobe Reader and FoxitReader. I can tell from the status bar that FF is trying to transfer information, and the screen goes black as if waiting for info to complete it, but after a bit I get the error message again.
I have a question on this to the vendor (Corel) and expect an answer as they are usually good with customer service issues.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Try disabling the Adobe PDF Plug-In For Firefox and Netscape "9.4.1" and make sure FoxIt is set to handle PDF files. <br />

Why do I sometimes get an error message when trying to export as mp3 file?

I'm using a Intel Core Duo Imac 2 Ghz with 2 meg memory and just upgraded to iLife 08. I was excited to see that Garageband will now let you save/export your projects as MP3 files. But I sometimes get an error message, i.e., -46 or some such number, when I try to save/export the project to iWeb. What is causing this? If I save the same project as an AAC file everything is fine. Go figure. I was really looking forward to Apple doing this in this release and won't be happy until it works perfectly. For your information I record a audio podcast and export the recorded file to iWeb and publish the site to .mac. So I'm a loyal Apple customer. My site is a gay oriented website and the new features of iWeb , including Photo albums can be viewed there. I'll email the link to anyone interested.

I know man what your saying. I should have written it down when it happened last night. I figured if anyone had had the same issue they might know the reason. I'll try doing a test recording today and see if the same issue arises. Meanwhile, if anyone has this happen to them please let me know. Thanks

Archive Utility brings up error message when trying to unarchive protected zip file

Hey there,
I've been zipping images with password protection using different applications, some with a Lightroom Plug-In Zip-Exporter, some with a stand alone app such as "Archiver". Now when I try to unzip these images on OSX 10.6 the Archive Utility brings up an the error: "Unable to unarchive "Name of File" into "Desktop". (Error 1 - Operation not permitted.) I'm logged in with an admin account. I tried this on a macbook pro and on an imac, both 10.6, same problem. Now when I try to unzip the file using third party such as Stuffit expander or Archiver, it unzips the files without a problem.
any idea what's wrong with the OSX Archive Utility?

Nothing's wrong with it except that it doesn't support encrypted .zip files. You'll just have to use third-party software, or a Terminal command, to unzip those.

Error message when trying to import music to iPod

The error message keeps saying "Some of the itunes store files in the itunes library were not copied to ipod because the ipod may only contain content form five itunes store accounts"
i only have one account and i've only ever used thhis one account to purchase music so what is wrong with it? thanks

i think this might be reffering to the fact that some songs are not authorised, u will nbeed to find these songs and authorised ur computer before these soings can be played in itunes. meansing u bought some songs and are not authorised to play yet on that computer. so try that. u can authorse a computer to play song by following the instructions at apple.com.open itunes under store select authorise and then inset ur email and password then press authorise that is all, the computer will say it is authorised.i hope ths works.
