Adobe Audition 5.5 will not play file after importing

I am new with this software, so bare with me please.
First, I am workign with a Macbook Pro, MacOSx, 2.2 Ghz Intel Cose i7 with 4 GB 1333 Mhz DDR3.
The version of Audition is version 4 build 1815.
For the first two weeks, everything was fine. I would import an MP3 file and then could listen to the file by pressing the spacebar or the small play icon.
Last night I imported a file and when I press the spacce bar, nothing happens. Same for when I press the play icon. The small triangle on the play button will change color but that is it.
I figured, what the heck, I must have screwed something up. So, I uninstalled and reinstalled.
Same results.
I went back and tried some recent project which were working fine a few days ago and they do the same thing.
So, help me out. Any sugggestions?

I don't know anything about Macs, but if you hit play in Audition (regardless of which version) and the transport doesn't move, then it's disconnected from your sound device.

Spoken work files will not play even after importing/converting?

I have some audio files recorded on my Android phone with the basic recording app and the files play when I press the spacebar to preview them in Mavericks. However, after importing them into iTunes using various import settings, including the podcast spoken word ones, they just will not play. When I double click on the file it looks like it is about to play, the apple icon at the top switches to what looks like a progress bar, though it is different from other tracks that do play, and then it immediately switches back to the apple icon and does not play.
Any ideas of anything I can do?
Thanks.

I've found an issue with movies when the audio is IMA format. Is that the format of your audio?

Adobe Indesign & Illustrator CS6 will not open files off server after Mac Maverick update.

I updated to Mac OS X Maverick and all the sudden my InDesign and Illustrator will not open files off of my works network. I read somewhere about installing the new Java update may help fix it, but I tried it and it did not. I have restarted my computer and reset the connection to the server multiple times, but it does nothing.
The exact message I get is: "Cannot open the files "xxxx.indd" Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file may be missing, or the file may be open in another application" I know for a fact that it is not open in another application so it is not that. I have tried multiple files on the server as well.
For Illustrator, I try to open a file from the server and it just freezes and does not respond so I have to force quit.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Please help!

If you had asked before you did this I would have told you not to move to Mavericks unless you were prepared for problems. I’m not a proponent of upgrade installations for operating systems and there’s no way to eliminate that as the cause.
That said, before you start erasing the whole machine, try uninstalling CS6 and then reinstalling it. You might want to run the cleaner tool after the uninstallation.

I bought a movie on itunes and it will not play even after re-downloading it.

I bought a movie on itunes, it would not play. I contacted apple support people, and they told me to delete and re download it, I did that and it still will not play, I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if my itunes isn't up to date, or maybe it's because I'm not trying to play it on an apple device. Whatever the case me be, I just really want to watch this movie, or get a refund.

You should be able to play films on windows computers, if it wasn't compatible with it (e.g. you should have got an error if you tried to buy an HD film on non-HD compatible computer).
The current version of iTunes is 11.4 - you can see if there are any updates available via the Help > Check For Updates menu option.
Or you can download the current version of iTunes from here : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
What happens when you try to play the film, and do other videos that you have in your iTunes play ok ?
If you can't get it to play but other videos play ok then contact iTunes Support (these are user-to-user forums) : http://reportaproblem.apple.com

Some Songs Will Not Play Even After Being Authorized

Just this past weekend, I had to reinstall Tiger and then upgrade to Leopard due to a “kernel panic” that would not go away no matter what was tried. As such, iTunes was started from scratch. Unfortunately, I could not locate my iTunes library within the Previous System folder after this reinstall. In all honesty, I probably just didn’t know where to look.
So, I transferred my music from my iPod to my iMac. But, some of my songs will no longer play. The songs that will not play are songs that I purchased and downloaded from iTunes. However, the recent songs purchased and downloaded will play…it’s songs that were purchased and downloaded a few months ago. Strange.
When I click these songs a box pops up for me to authorize it. I do so and it says that this computer is already authorized. I click on the song again and the same thing repeats itself.
I have two accounts that I have used. I have both accounts authorized on this computer. I have restarted with no success. I have unauthorized and reauthorized with no success. I’m afraid to sync my iPod in case these same characteristics transfer to my iPod.
I have not updated Leopard to the latest version as of yet since I just reinstalled from the disc orginally sent with my iMac. Any help is greatly appreciated as I’m out of ideas…

I had the exact same problem today. Two days ago I let Software Update auto-install Security Update 2008-008 (Client Intel) on my machine. I was rewarded with the gray screen and spinning wheel that never went away, and after hours of fruitless attempts to resolve the problem with Disk Utility and Terminal, I was forced to Archive and Restore to 10.4.8 and then rebuild my system back to 10.4.11.
I thought everything was fine after that until I went to play my iTunes music tonight. Though I'd had no problem playing music ripped from CDs, anything that I'd bought from the iTunes store wouldn't play -- it gave me the exact same error that you reported. I've followed all of Apple's troubleshooting steps -- repairing disk permissions, deleting the SC Info folder, etc., and nothing worked. I spent nearly an hour online with iTunes Chat Support and they say that my account tests fine on their end, so it's not iTunes -- something must have happened to my machine.
Personally, I think it was Security Update 2008-008. It's been nothing but trouble.
Now I have to pay $50 for a phone call to Apple Tech Support. Lucky me.

ITunes will not play videos after 10.7.0.21 upgrade.

This morning I received a pop-up that a new version of itunes was available...blah, blah, blah...I agreed and upgraded. Since then videos will not play. It starts, the viewer comes up, a black screen then itunes crashes and it's back to the desktop. The videos worked fine before the upgrade and I have uninstalled and reinstalled itunes. What to do now?

Let's try the following user tip with that one:

Not sure what to do, everything else is working perfect.

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Adobe Audition 3.0 will not load recordings that are 8 hours long?

I have been taking day long recording sessions and wanting to review them from projects and notes. Someday these recordings can be over 8 hours in length and Audition will only load the first 2-3 hours of this. Does anyone else have this issue? How did you take care of this issue? I am just looking for any information. I have tried to record in both .WAV and .MP3 and it does the same thing. I would really like to be able to find a way to make this work. Thanks.

I am actually not using it to record it live. I am trying to import files off of an Olympus voice recorder and then edit them into sections through Audition. The complete file will not load up. It will only show the first 3 hours of a recording and then not see the rest. But if I open the file in Windows Media Player it will play all 6-8 hours of the recording. Any ideas of why it will not open the complete file?
This is a slightly longer explanation of what ryclark wrote, and with probably the only solution that will work for you. I say probably, because I haven't ever needed to do this for myself. Others have reported that it works, and that's what I'm relying on here!
So, what format are you opening the file in in Windows Media Player? If you open the MP3 it won't have a problem, because the MP3 file is severely compressed. It's only when you expand it out and try to save (or open, even) it so that it looks like a wav file that you have the problems. Because of the wav file size limit, you can't have a single wav file at anything like a sensible sample rate that will last that long. This isn't an Audition limit, it's imposed by the maximum address size you can write to the file header.
The way around this is to import the file into Multitrack view, because this has the ability to split files and use the extra chunks in the broadcast wav specification to appear to open a much larger file. In reality it isn't though - it's just stitching together the several max length wav files that expanding the MP3 file out created. But you wouldn't be able to save this as a giant wav file, simply because of the addressing limitiations, which remain. What it should do though is let you extract sections from it, and open and subsequently save them in Edit view.

PS3 (blu-ray player) will not play movie after menu selection on this particular project?

When trying to play my finished Blu-ray disc on PS3 the menus display and work good. However, when I choose a selection to play the movie it returns back to the main menu. It doesn't matter if I choose the main play button or one of the chapters on the scene selection menu, it does not play the movie but rather returns to the main menu. Menus appear to be working fine!
I've used Encore for years and I'm pretty familiar with the ins and outs of creating DVD's. I'm a little new at creating Blu-rays but have found the process very similar to creating DVDs with the addition of being able to add Popup menus. I pretty much followed the same process as a Blu-ray I created a couple months ago which worked fine. So I'm pretty much at a lose how to trouble shoot this issue. The only thing that has changed is that I've upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite but I really don't know if that is a factor or not. Encore did not run into any issues while working on the project.
Everything works when previewing my project in Encore. All the menus and buttons work and the movie plays fine. Also, no errors are reported after running the Check Project process on the Build tab.
I usually create an ISO file to burn from later. Encore created the ISO file and reported success.
I'm running Adobe CS6 on a Mac with Yosemite. FCPX was used to output the AC3 audio file and 264 video file. Menu transitions are ProRes422.
So far while trouble shooting I've made 3 coasters.
1st disc was created using Yosemite Disk Utility to burn the ISO file created by Encore (my usual way).
2nd, and 3rd disc I let Encore burn directly from the project.
3rd disk I removed the PopUp menu as I've only done one in the past and figured I would try that as a trouble shooting step.
So, since everything appears fine Encore I'm really not sure how to trouble shoot this. I wish Apple would support Blu-ray better so I could just open the ISO file in DVD Player like I do when I create DVD ISOs. So much easier than having to trouble shoot by creating coasters.
If anyone has come across this issue before and has any suggestions I would really appreciate it. I'd like to complete this project and move on.
Thanks in advance!

Well, at this point I'm thinking maybe something is wrong with the movie files output from FCPX even though they play fine in Encore. I noticed that there is a one frame difference between the video and audio file. The video file is 00:38:45:01 and the audio file is 00:38:45:02. I already output the file using Compressor. However, I'm still seeing the exact same time difference between the video and audio file when imported back into Encore. I'm going to rebuild the Encore project from scratch using the movie files output from Compressor and try again. If that doesn't work I'll use 7toX to convert FCPX XML and try importing the XML into Premier Pro and output the movie files that way for Encore. Or, output a master file from FCPX and let Encore do the transcoding.

Clickbox will not open file after published

Good morning,
I am working on a project where we are quizzing users. They must refer to a PDF docuemnt as part of the decision making process. I have added a click box that allows users to click to open the PDF docuement. Of course, when I publish it, I get the warning to make sure the files are exported. So, I copy and paste the two files into the output folder and uploaded it to my personal sharepoint site to test. Of course when I try to run it in a web environment, the file will not open. I cannot figure out what else I need to do to get these files to open after publishing. The Help file is worthless around this and I did some searches and have not found anything on the expert boards from Rod or Lilly. I am kinda at a loss. I could upload the files to our LMS and just point to the UR but I don't like that when the location changes.
Any thoughts?
Eric

What was the format of the link to the PDF that you used in your Captivate file?

ITunes will not delete file (after confirming & sending to recycle bin)

Files deleted within iTunes do not disappear from my hard drive.
I answer "Are you sure you want to remove the selected podcast from your iTunes library" and select the "Remove" button.
I then answer "Do you want to move the selected podcasts to the Recycle Bin, or keep them in the iTunes Music folder?" with "Move to Recycle Bin".
Music files (mp3) occasionally delete properly but video podcasts (Geek Brief to be specific) will not delete.
Music is stored in J:\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Music which is slightly non-standard but seems to fit the rule of being "inside" the iTunes folder.
Any ideas? [I've seen similar but not quite the same posts where people are trying to delete files outside the iTunes folders......]

I too have this same problem with deleting video podcasts. The problem doesn't happen all the time, but probably a majority of the time. It is quite annoying as many of the video podcasts I subscribe to are in HD format so it is rather frustrating to have to manually delete them from the iTunes folder after deleting them thru iTunes, but since they take up gigs of space it is necessary to go in and clean them out every once in a while.

Videos not playing back after importing

Hello everyone,
I'm trying hard to migrate my photo collection from iPhoto (and eventually Aperture, which I still use for professional work) to the new Photos app.
What I have noticed, though, is that, besides all photos from iPhone being imported rotated 180°, which is (annoyingly) fixable by hand, Photos will just delete videos from its catalogue. Needless to say, they open fine in iPhoto.
Basically:
On first launch (or consequent start-ups of the app when deleting the Photos library), Photos asks to import a library.
It goes through the import process.
All files are imported correctly (besides the 180° issue), including videos, which play back normally.
Under Preferences, I set the library as System library (in case I deleted the previous Photos library), and turn on the iCloud Photo Library feature.
Somewhere along the process, when I try to access some videos, it says "Photos can't reproduce the file" (translation from my OS X language). In some other videos, a small progress wheel appears on the bottom right, and gets stuck at about one quarter.
I have also tried to import everything by opening manually the "Masters" folder in the old iPhoto library, but then, Photos will give an error regarding duplicate files.
Honestly, all these problems are so un-Apple-like. I'm very frustrated; I've tried to give Photos a chance, but I can't even START using it.
Any suggestions?

I have this same problem, and I did a clean installation.
Hardware:
2009 MacBoook Pro 17" 3.06 C2D; 4 GB RAM, 256 Apple SSD
While loading the browser is quick starting up, I notice a delay to open any website, like it's preloading the entire page versus just loading. Safari seems like it's a bit sluggish overall with loading web pages.
Did a internet speed test and my U/D rates are the same after the upgrade.

Soundbooth CS4 Mac will not play files

I can load files into Soundbooth no problem, see the waveform, but click play and playhead
just sits there.
I'm running 10.6.2 Snow Leopard.

Generally, these are the symptoms of the audio driver not talking with Soundbooth. Probably the simplest thing to try would be to open Preferences > Audio Hardware in Soundbooth, and re-select your default audio device. (Try changing it to a different device in the list, apply the changes to the preferences, then change it back.)
Did you recently upgrade to Snow Leopard? A common issue that's been coming up has to do with 10.6 upgrades changing the device ID scheme which causes some applications to attempt to load a driver for a device that no longer exists according to CoreAudio.
You can also try holding down the SHIFT key on launch which will bypass the existing Prefs and load everything in its default state. The old preference files will then be overwritten when you shut down Soundbooth.
