  • Why are some "caf" files colored green and some blue. I need to change the blue (audio) file to a green one so that I can print the sheet music.

    I've been trying for days to convert blue audio files (caf in garageband) to green files, so that I can print out the sheet music for that file. I've converted the "caf" file to mp3, wav, aiff, even midi - but nothing will load in garageband as a green file. I get them to load as blue audio files but not as green files. I know the difference between the blue and green files, but why do they both have "caf" extensions? I am trying to conver "piano ballad.caf" to something that will show up as a green caf in garageband. I can't believe there isn't someone who has been successful at doing this sort of thing.

    Thank you, that was helpful, it has given me some avenues to explore. I have not used a command prompt for about a decade!
    The command chflags hidden /volumes/HomeShare does not seem to have worked.
    When I use it, there is no error message but I cannot see anything additional in the other computer.
    When I use chflags hidden /volumes/HomeShare/rubbish I see an error message about the folder not existing (which it does not!) so the path is correct.
    When I use chflags hidden /volumes/HomeShare/MBP naming a folder that does exist and was created by this computer/user, it seems to have no effect either.
    Looking at one source of OS X command line commands (http://ss64.com/osx/) I see that 'setfile' might do the trick (setfile v /volumes/Homeshare/MBP) but that command returns 'command not found'. It is apparently part of 'developer tools' ... which I do not have access to (AFAIK).
    In both cases, would the commands work on existing files only, or would new files be visible, or even files copied into this space? Presumably, each person saving to this area would need to then give access via terminal (or a script). Am I right in this thinking? If so, how would I modify the properties of the drive so that they are the same as, for example, a memory stick?

  • HT3529 Why is my messages sending green and not blue

    Why is my messages sending green and not blue

    Green means the message was sent as an SMS/MMS.
    Blue means the message was sent as an iMessage.
    If sent as green, the recipient doesn't have an iPhone with iMessage enabled or if they do, they have turned iMessage off.

    Why is the text bubble sometimes green and sometimes blue when I text to the same person/number who has an iPhone 4s?

    Not necessarily an iPhone but rather if they have iMessage support at the address you're using.
    If you're using an email address they could have an iOS device or a Mac.

  • HT4515 why are my text messages all of a sudden in green and do not say delivered?

    why are my text messages all of a sudden in green and do not say delivered?  Also for the first time since I obtained the phone I went to use the headphones and the insert to headphones is very loose and I can connect for about 10 seconds then nothing, I do believe it is the jack that inserts into the phone or the phone receptacle is bad or the headphone piece that goes into the phone is bad it is not working is the main issues.  Thank you

    I should also mention we have 2 other iPhone users and 1 Samsung s5 user in my home not having the same problem.

    Hi evan191,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This article has some steps you can try if your messages aren't sending as iMessages:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2755
    If you still can't send or receive iMessages
    Ensure that iMessage is turned on in Settings > Messages.
    To send and receive iMessages, your device must have a valid cellular or Wi-Fi data connection.
    iPhone: Troubleshooting Cellular data
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    iMessage registration validates your Apple ID for use with iMessage. If you are unable to activate iMessage, follow this article.
    If an iMessage cannot be sent, it will be resent using SMS or MMS, depending on the content. You can turn this behavior on or off in Settings > Messages > Send As SMS. Carrier messaging rates may apply.
    Verify that the Apple ID or phone number is listed in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.
    Cheers,
    - Ari

  • Why are some of my songs ghosted and some are not?

    Why are some of my songs ghosted and some are not?

    Hi smiilee,
    Have you tried resetting your phone (hold down the Home and Power buttons a the same time and continue to hold until the Silver Apple appears). Once the Home screen comes back up, see if your Music is OK.
    If it is not, then, have you sync'd your phone to an iTunes library on a computer? If so, then hook it up to the computer, uncheck the "Sync Music" option so that no music is sync'd and then sync the phone. This should delete everything on the phone. Then go back and re-check the "Sync Music" option, and select any other criteria you want on that screen, and then sync again. This should put back all of your music.
    Let me know if you have any questions,

  • Why are my text messages showing up on my wife's IPhone 6 and her Text messages showing up on my iPhone 6?

    Why are my text messages showing up on my wife's iPhone 6 and her test messages showing up on my IPhone 6?

    its because you guys are using the same Apple ID on both devices , when you use the same it connects to iCloud/iMessages so when ever you get a text on any other iPhone with there iMessages on its going to show on both devices because its the same apple ID that you are using for your iMessages , you can fix that buy gating a new apple ID for one of you ,ore go to your system preferences then go in to your iMessages  remove your email from there make shore its only your number on there ,but the best why is to get another Apple ID.

  • Why are Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 source and program monitors playing each others footage?

    Why are Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 source and program monitors playing each others footage? I import my footage into the project like normal. I drag it to the source monitor on the left hand side to set in and out points then I drag it to the time line. The footage drops into the time line with no problem but when I go to play the footage in the time line it plays back on the source monitor and not on the program monitor like it is suppose to. Other times ill drag the clip to the time line and trim it there and it will be fine and show up on the program monitor.  Then ill go try to set a clip to have in and out points (which is suppose to show up in the source monitor) but it shows up in the program monitor. The clip is not even in the time line it should not be on that monitor! I have updated the program to the late update. I have re installed the program numerous times and I have even ran the Adobe Clean up program. Couldn't find much on this problem. Please help thank you! I have a PC. My computer is also way over the recommended minimum specifications to have the program installed on.

    Definitive Answer (I believe): It's all about this setting, "Write XMP ID To Files On Import" - which confirms that Adobe Premiere Pro is deliberately modifying the .mov file: http://helpx.adobe.com/premiere-pro/using/preferences.html#WSE3BD4A43-7022-4fe6-97F5-95313 935347B
    These posts give some background as to why having this setting enabled would be beneficial: one benefit being to be able to skip conforming files by matching the conformed file with the original using the embedded XMP tag :-

  • Where are the scanner mode (color, black and white) saved on a windows 7 machine?

    We have 30+ Canon 2580c scanners and the users are constantly changing to color scanning and forgetting to change it back to black and white.
    I'm trying to figure out where these settings are saved.  I have compared full registry dumps before and after changing the mode but do not see any differences that look scanner related.  There is a file setscan.ini the appdata/roaming/isis drivers folder that gets the date modified updated each time but nothing is changed in the file.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi mswalter2012.
    I will be glad to assist you.  When using the CapturePerfect program, I recommend using the [Scan Job] setting.  There are two jobs already registered in the program.. You can select [Color Document], which is 24-bit color as Simplex 300 dpi, or [Binary Document], which is black and white as Simplex 200 dpi.  To create a new job, please follow the instructions below:
    1.  Select [Create/Delete Job] in the scan menu.
    2.  Select a number to register a job, and then click [Create/Edit].
    3.  Enter a title for the job.
    4.  Click the drop-down for [Function] and select where you want the scan to be sent.
    5.  Click [Detail Settings].
    6.  Click the [OK] or [Save] button to close the settings.
    7.  Click [OK] to close the [Create/Edit] window.
    To scan using the saved scanned job, select [Scan Job] from the CapturePerfect file menu.

  • Why are my duotone images turning black and white when put in indesign?

    why are my duotone images turning black and white when put in indesign?
    I have been playing duo and montotone images into indesing with no trouble. Then all of a sudden as I placew them they go black and whitre. I have tried everything from re saving, re making in photoshop and differant colours et5c. But nothing seems to wrok. The images already in my document arew fine it is just new ones. If someone could help that would be great

    Can you start a new document and then load one of the duotones known to be good in the working file and have it correct? If so, try one of the duotones known to be bad in the working document in the new file. Does it work?
    If no to either suggestion, can you share one of the images known to be good and one known to be bad? ZIP 'em up and upload to dropbox and plop a link here. Or, to keep the file sizes down, you can quickly make a new set and provide those.
    As well, the ID version and OS info would probably be helpful.
    Take care, Mike
