10 minutes of the center part of a skype video recording are missing? Help!

I'd urge you not to be too hasty. Record more. Does the problem repeat? If you experience similar audio dropouts on other recordings, then it's time to worry. Whatever you experienced may have been a one-time event.
There are many ways to capture audio besides QuickTime: Audacity (free) and Piezo ($) are two popular alternatives. Piezo 1.2.2 is the last version for Snow Leopard. You can get a free demo version here: https://rogueamoeba.com/legacy/. I don't know which one has lower system requirements--and, in fact, QT may be the most efficient of the lot. Experiment.
4GB RAM should be sufficient, though more RAM never hurts. That iMac (Core i3, 3.2GHz, mid 2010) will accept as much as 16GB. Adding RAM is generally the easiest and most cost-effective way to boost performance of an older machine.
490MB for 31 minutes of audio. It sounds as if you've set QuickTime X to record with "maximum" quality. Change to "high" and the file size will shrink to around 10% of that amount.  In fact, with simple voice recordings, maximum is usually overkill. However, I doubt that the maximum/high setting will have a dramatic effect on the resources needed to make the recording.
As far as backups, that voice recorder could save your bacon one day. If these Skype sessions can't be repeated, any backup system will be better than none. Most voice recorders these days have a USB port and sometimes an application that will allow you to transfer the recording to your computer. Even old voice recorders with only a headphone jack can be connected to your Mac via audio in for a "better than nothing" file.

    The EXACT same thing happened to me last night!  Rented a movie; it had barely started and then froze.  When I touch the video app icon, all I get is a blank, dimly lit screen.  None of the other videos I own will display either.  Was your problem ever resolved?

    It's the part that means you've voided your warranty and the right to get an out-of-warranty replacement from Apple.

  • Disappointed with IOS7, i had organized my music library as per the Genre and now im unable to hear all the songs of the same genre like in the earlier versions. The options of "all albums" and "all songs" are missing in this version of IOS. Help Please..

    It would be nice if you told others the steps you've tried and/or how you used to have your setup.
    Anyway have you tried tapping MORE this will then bring you to
    the selection-list of Audiobooks, Genres, Compilations & Composers.
    Selecting Genres gives you a list of all your music split into genres which was set within the Music downloaded via iTunes or uploaded from CD or which you may have set yourself.
    Then you just select the Genre you want:
    If certent songs are not correctly gategorised you may need to go into iTunes and reselect via Get-info
    >Info>Genre and change it there. That way you should end up with all songs of Jazz or other in 1 place.

  • The target costs in target cost version 0 are missing

    Dear Experts,
    I am getting following error while running Varience cost through KKS2:
    Only remaining var. in version 0 - no target costs for 000001061683 0001
    Message no. KV151
    Diagnosis
    For the calculation of variances with 000001061683 0001, the target costs in target cost version 0 are missing for the following reasons:
    There were no planned costs and/or planned quantities (see earlier message).
    The quantities on which the planned costs were based are zero in the time period concerned. This may be caused by the fact that no goods receipt for a cost object (such as a product cost collector or production order) has been entered.
    This results in target costs of zero.
    System response
    Because no target costs were calculated, the difference between the
    planned and actual costs could not be broken down into variance categories. The difference is updated as a remaining variance.
    Please suggest, How to proceed.
    Regards

    First check this...
    1.Go to t.code OKEV.Select Controlling Area 2222 and create Plan / Target version.
    The standard system supplies the following target cost versions:
    Target cost version 0 ( total variance)
    The amount of the total variance generates a posting in Financial Accounting during settlement.
    For this version, select actual costs as the control costs and standard cost estimate as the target costs.
    Target cost version 1 ( production variance)
    For this version you choose actual costs as the control costs and planned costs as the target costs.
    Target cost version 2( planning variance)
    With target cost version 2, the costs from the preliminary order cost estimate are interpreted as control costs. For this version, select planned costs as the control costs and current cost estimate as the target costs. You cannot calculate planning variances for the product cost collector.
    Target cost version 3 (production variance of the period)
    You compare the planned costs of the period calculated on the basis of an alternative material cost estimate (such as a modified standard cost estimate) with the actual costs of the period on the basis of the yield delivered to stock in the period.
    2.Also try In CO02 goto cunctions...cost...
    3.Go to transaction OKV6 these settings control what values are used to update the target costs.
    Target cost comes from the standard price calculated when doing a costing run. Actual costs are costs that you incur during the production order (we can reassign costs during the order so this could be different from the standard price).
    Target Costs=Actual Quantitiy X the Standard Cost Estimate Price..
    Probably the stand.cost estimate will be missing in ur case...

  • I recently transferred my ITunes library to an external hard drive.  I made sure to copy all the data from the saved location.  After the transfer I noticed that a lot of albums are missing the first song and some recently purchased albums are missing.

    I recently transferred my ITunes library to an external hard drive.  I made sure to copy all the data from the saved location.  After the transfer I noticed that a lot of albums are missing the first song and some recently purchased albums are missing.  Is there any way to recover the data?  Thanks for any help.

    I may have found an answer here:
    http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive
    They only thing I can assume is that my external hard drive was slow to start and iTunes defaulted to its old directory (see the last paragraph at the link above). However, once my external was recognized shouldn't everything have fixed itself?

  • TS1368 I keep getting this error message and can't open the iTunes store. I've reinstalled iT a half dozen times with no results. "Registry settings used by the iT drivers for importing & burning CDs & DVDs are missing" reinstall iTunes

    I can't open the iTunes store and keep getting this error message. "Registry settings used by the iT drivers for importing & burning CDs & DVDs are missing. Reinstall iTunes." I've reinstalled iT a half dozen times with no results.

    You might have two different things going on at once here.

  • I see all the music in itunes but when I "explore" the drive many subfolders for my individual albums are missing. Help

    On version 10.5 and was trying to move my itunes music to a larger drive. I had issues and moved it all back to the original drive. Now I see all the music in itunes but when I "explore" the drive many subfolders for my individual albums are missing. Help

    really??
    Yes, really, I'm sorry to say.
    is there anything i can do about it??maybe create another account?
    Sorry, but there is nothing you can do about it. There's no place where you could create "another account" that would give you any greater access to media. The content owners do not allow cross-border sales, so you cannot open an account in another country's iTunes Store. So until such time as Apple is able to obtain the necessary licensing and decides that it's practical to open an iTunes Store on your country, I'm afraid that you will not be able to purchase music, videos, or movies from an iTunes Store.
    There is only one possibility for you: if what you're looking for are only podcasts, you may be able to find the podcast you want directly from a web site. Apple doesn't host the podcasts, they only link to them, so the podcast you want may be available from another source. You'll have to do a web search and see if the podcast turns up.

  • Everything on my desktop disappeared. i tried using the finder to locate specific files and they are missing. Help!

    i'm using a macbook pro retina, 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7, 8GB. operating OSX Yosemite 10.10.1
    everything on my desktop disappeared. i've managed to make my HD reappear on my desktop but my files etc are nowhere to be found. i tried using the finder to locate specific files and they are missing. Help! I foolishly filled up my desktop with piles of screen grabs and folders - no doubt that was the cause... what do i do, aside from punish myself for being so stupid?

    Could you have logged into another account?
    If you go to System Preferences>Users and Accounts what accounts are listed?
    To show users at login go to the Login Options of chanck the box that says show list of users.
    If they they are gone and you can't find them then restore them from a backup

  • How can i request the actual time code of digital video recorder, i am using RS232 interface for asking actual time code of digital video recording

    how can i request the actual time code of digital video recorder, i am using RS232 interface for asking actual time code of digital video recording

    If you have an RS-232 interface to the digital video recorder, it may be that you can send a command to the video recorder in order to get the time code sent back to your application - you would then read this as a string and then incorporate this data into your program.
    The best source of help will be any documentation you have relating to the serial (RS-232) interface with the digital video recorder. This documentation should have commands that you can send to the recorder and expected response strings that you should get back from the device. This task should be straightforward but can often be frustrating without documentation about the video recorder. This will not be something that you can "guess" - past experience in writing serial communication ap
    plications has shown that a good manual is your best friend.
    Failing this if you have any source code for example programs that have already been written to communicate with the recorder, you might be able to extract the relevant ASCII strings and use them within your application. This is true whether you are using LabVIEW or a text-based language.

    Also very strange is that I don't have the folder "MobileSync" in /Library/Application Support/MobileSync on my computer. I can't find that folder anywhere.
    Correct.
    You need to go to ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/.
    The ~ indicates your User folder not the top level /Library/ folder.
    Click on the desktop, then hold Option and go to Finder menu Go and Library will be there (only when holding Option as it is hidden).

  • HT4059 The last three books I have downloaded at the bottom of the page the bottom parts of y,g,and j are appearing at the top of the next page. Any help or suggestions  will be appreciated.

    This problem just started. On the last line of each page if the letters y,g,p or j appear in the line the bottom part of each of these letters appears at the top of the next page while being chopped off the actual line it should appear in.

    *Update*
    I thought I had found the offending 'app' namely "Songpop."
    I regularly use "Songpop" on my phone late at night via my wifi connection.
    All enteries on my phonebill are at midnight (even though I have a data allowance it was excluded from allowance). I switched 3G off on Friday, played "Songpop" at midnight and at the exact time I got a "Server Error" message.
    I posted a message on the "Songpop" support forum.At first they said this was a problem relating to my ISP.
    I have spoken to my ISP and asked if there are connection drops at the time I have been billed (ie to establish if my wifi dropped and 3G kicked in without my knowledge) and have been advised that there aren't any connection drops at that time.
    "Songpop" have now responded that "This is an issue to take up with Apple Support"  see: http://support.songpop.fm/songpop/topics/playing_songpop_on_phone_via_wifi_but_i ncurring_download_data_charges_for_3g_useage?utm_content=topic_link&utm_medium=e mail&utm_source=reply_notification
    Hopefully someone at Apple can respond ....

  • The theme/background (AWESOME futuristic space scene) shown in the last part of "Getting Started video available for download?

    In the last part of the video "Getting Started" right after I downloaded Firefox 4, there was a background scene of an awesome page that showed some futuristic space scene that has the mozilla theme (fox) in the picture. I would like to know if it is available for download and/or it's name. I searched through the themes, but they don't show enough of the theme to actually see what the background would be once downloaded. Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

  • Records are missing in the File which XI has placed in Target FTP server

    Hi All,
    I have a scenario where in XI is transfering the files from ECC to Target System . No transformation required here . I am using AAE to run this scenario.
    Issue i am facing here is that i can see few records missing in the File  which XI had placed in the Target system FTP server . Same file if i check it in archive folder of ECC (which XI has archived after picking the file), complete set of records are present for the same file.
    Need your inputs please....
    Note : XI is using AAE to transfer the files and no mapping . Also i tried to check out the audit logs in the channel monitoring . Unforutanely i was not able to see the logs to check the bytes that was transferred while readng and writing the file . Sometimes i have faced audit logs issue in PI 7.1
