All media files on all websites don't play.

Whenever I click on a "play" button on either a video or audio file, absolutely nothing happens and the media file doesn't play. On Youtube, I get a message that says "An error has occured. Please try again later." This only happens on Firefox as media files work fine on IE or Chrome.

hello nadine, this is likely a problem in connection with the recent update of adobe's flash plugin (chrome & ie are supplied with a different version of the plugin by adbobe), please refer to the following article for common solutions: [[Flash 11.3 crashes or does not load in Firefox 13]]

Why all pictures don't play in drop zones?

I have asked this question before, but still my pictures don't play in all the drop zones. Very simply I drop 4 pictures in 4 drop zones (Theme 5.0, Wedding White). Only three pictures show up in the loop. I change the length of the loop but nothing change. Basically, what is the reason of having 4 drop zones if only 3 play?
Frank Secco

G'day Frank
My 'Wedding White' also plays only three pictures, but there is a fourth possibility for the heart shaped button.
This button normally links to and plays the first few seconds of the main movie, but you can play any video clip you like in the button by option-dragging a clip over the button and dropping it. I prepare special clips for this using Quicktime Pro.
Be careful! If you simply drop it without the option key, the button will 'see' the drop as a new movie to link to, instead of the main movie.

Certain websites don't play - add-ons or plug-ins interfere

I've been having strange problems for a couple of weeks. In general, my computer works okay, but certain websites don't manage to play videos or audio while others do. I tried disabling the av firewall to see if that was blocking anything, but it wasn't the cause. Both Flash Player and Java are fully installed, including the Firefox plug-ins and add-ons that are recommended for them, i.e., Shockwave player or Java updates. (Must I keep the old add-ons for Java if they are updated or should I disable them or delete them somehow?) Someone told me it could be my javascript, but that is checked off properly in options.
My CA av program found a "possible" Trojan over a month ago and located it in a particular java file, so I ended up deleting that file and reloading java. When I would go to java.com, it said I was full operational. Then I downloaded a couponprinter and kept getting told that I needed to load java. I reloaded it twice, but kept getting the same message. Yesterday, I woke up to find a message that Firefox recommended disabling a java plug-in because it makes the computer unstable. Only when I finally uninstalled java completely and reinstalled it, did it begin working fully and I no longer get that Firefox message even though the plug-in is installed. Coupons now print fine and my flash player seems to be operating, but one particular websites just doesn't display the audio player (it's a college radio station). I also developed a problem yesterday trying to open up a web pdf which I never had problems with before, but resolved it when I disabled the Adobe Firefox plug-in. Why would Firefox recommend a plug-in if it only hinders the use of websites?
Also, when I first followed Firefox's suggestions, I opened up Firefox in Safe Mode. When I returned to regular Firefox, the colors of the taskbars had changed - they're all pale grey - and I don't know why or how to change them to the warmer version I used to have. The tint did not come as a result of an installed theme or personality, but it's gone.
Anyway, I'm just confused because add-ons and plug-ins are added and then create new problems, when I thought they are supposed to resolve problems. Can you help me figure out how to get the player on the websites to open?

same problem here for the past two days till this morning when I created a new profile and removed ALL addons from the default profile. With the new profile with NO addons, I got to the sites with video that I had problem with and flash player did work.
Now, I only have three addons that have not created the problem; adblock, flashgot, and flashblock.
Create a new profile and check it out.

Replacing media files

I use Still Life for doing photo montage work since it really makes workflow quick. It gives you the option of exporting your final movie in QT or DV for further editing in FCP. On one such project, I had forgotten which codec to export in and mistakenly used QT, which requires further rendering in FCP. Since time was of the essence, I did not want to re-export from Still Life into the DV codec, so I finished my project so I could get it to the client.
Now I need to make some edits to a newer version and want to sort this out before going further. One problem with the QT version of these files is that they don't play quite right, there is a stuttering between frames.
What I want to do is replace the QT files with DV files that I have re-exported. I have tried doing a "re-link" to the DV files of the same name, but that does not work quite right. Is there another way to replace the media files with these new ones that are of the same timecode? I have a lot of edits that I made to the FCP project and these files....
Thanks!

OK, here is what I have tried, with links to pictures I took....
First, made sure I was exporting from Still Life correctly to make sure I had the correct settings (I tried exporting via 720x576 also):

Shot 2 is a grab of what the aspect ratio looked like with the original files:
http://www.lastcut.com/test/problem/2.jpg
Shot 3 is a grab of the item properties for one of these original files:
http://www.lastcut.com/test/problem/3.jpg
Shot 4 is a grab of what one of the new QT compressed files looks like when I bring it into FCP, substituting it for one of the old files.
http://www.lastcut.com/test/problem/4.jpg
Shot 5 is a grab of this file's properties:
http://www.lastcut.com/test/problem/5.jpg
Shot 6 is a grab of my sequence settings, just in case people think I have it setup wrong:
http://www.lastcut.com/test/problem/6.jpg
Shot 7 is the sequence properties:
http://www.lastcut.com/test/problem/7.jpg
So, from all that I can tell, all of my settings are correct. I have no idea why PAL is showing up in pixel aspect on any of the clips, original or new. I've never done anything with PAL. As to the last poster, I don't want to resize anything in the motion menu because that will make my video more pixellated.

Trimming original media files

I'm working on a project which references lots of huge media files, but only takes a few seconds of footage from each.
Is there a way (as there was in FCP 7) to trim those media files so that they don't take up terabytes of space on my hard drive? (I could just export them from a project, but that will reset the timecode to zero, and I want to preserve the original timestamp on the shortened clip.)
Any thoughts?

I renamed a disk VIDEO, and I can't get FCP X to recognise it as a camera, no matter what.
Very strange - I've only heard of this once before and I don't know of any remedy. Presumably the disk is correctly formatted (Mac OS Extended)? Does it contain other folders / files?
Yes, correctly formatted, and yes contains lots of other folders and files. I'm guessing that this is the reason FCP X won't recognise it as a camera.
I have another disk which only contains files, and FCP Xalways recognises it as a camera no matter what name I give it.
Are there any folders in the root of the drive which could suggest they contain camera files (DCIM, Video, Movie etc)?
No, nothing on the partition at all except a couple of video files at the root level.

Merge components into new media file

This is probably not the right place for this given this forum is around front end code mostly but I have been pulling my hair out trying to find the right solution and I am hoping some of you will have had a similar requirement given what the framework allows you to do.
I have built a flex application that takes an flv with cue points and an image which I specify and merges the two to put the image over the video when the cue point event fires - all pretty simple.
Now I want to write this to a new media file that can be downloaded and played - can be any format (flv is fine). The solution needs to run in the backend i.e not through a GUI.
I cannot seem to find a way to do this and I was hoping some of you folks might have come across something and could point me in the right direction.

I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up. I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where I sync everything. I have authorized this new computer so I don't know what the problem is. I can't get on my old computer with my itunes account because the computer is broken. Not sure what to do

"I have logged in to my itunes account on a different computer and none of my purchased music is showing up."
Correct. it does not magially appear in other places. It will only be where you put it.
"I also have plugged my iphone in to get updates but it says I will lose all media and apps if I don't update on the computer where I sync everything. "
Correct as well. Iphone will sync with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase the current content.
You need to copy everything ( itunes library/contacts/pics/calendars/files/docs) from the old computer, or your backup copy of the old one, to the new one.

Not all my songs are showing in itunes even though they are in the Itunes Media file directory

Not all my songs are showing in itunes even though they are in the itunes Media Dir. I have spent hours trying to find out why so I moved the songs out of the Music/itunes/itunes media and uninstalled itunes. I then restarted my pc and re-installed itunes. When I opened itunes the same songs are still there (but cannot be played as cannot find location) even though I have not put anything back in the itunes media dir. To me there seems to be a refreshing problem as itunes is not looking at the directory even through the advanced preferences area is mapped to the correct area.
Help please.
Thanks

Apple's official advice on duplicates is here: Find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership, or that sometimes the same file can be represented by multiple entries in the library and that deleting one and recycling the file will break the other.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to and should cope sensibly when the same file has been added via multiple paths.

All Realtime Media Files now appear as Macromedia Flash files.

Help sought for a friend...who can no longer access the majority of his years worth of accumulated media files and i'm stumped -
For no known reason, upon restart of a MacBook running 10.4, every single media file that was originally Realtime Player format,
now appears as a "Macromedia Flash (.flv) file. None opens upon icon click.
There was no installation (at least none that my friend initiated) of any new software that would explain the 'conversion.' Meanwhile,
the immediate objective is to restore all of the original-formatting. It appears that only these RealTime files were affected .
Any idea on what can be done to rectify this? As I understand it the Flash app version - is 7. version 10 was uninstalled in
an effort to see if the files would be recognized as Real Player files once again after uninstall and restart.
All YouTube or other downloaded files that were in RealPlayer format are now identified as .flvs, and upon attempting startup of
Real Player for some reason that App crashes and will no longer open.
Ideas?
Thanks alot,

maybe you already tried this,
but what happens if you select one of the files in the finder,
do  + I
and in the "open with" section, you pick the application you normally want to use for these files
and click "modify all" just underneath

All media files vanished. When time machine backup attempted it says disk full? Confused help.

I recently upgraded from osx leopard to snow leopard on my 2008 macbook to sync my new iphone data smoothly. After the installation it was v slow as anticipated and a time machine full restore was done successfully. Now however all my media files have vanished namely precious music videos and pictures. I tries reverting back in time machine but it says no disk space. Also i have 1000 new pictures last uploaded which gas also been backed up by time machine with the computer showing the rest of the files erased. How do i recover both sets of data the old and the new?

How much free space on your internal drive and how much free space on the Time Machine drive? You can use Disk Utility in Applications/Utilities to find free space. If Time Machine gets too full it could delete your backups. I suggest your turn off Time Machine in System Preferences until you get your files restored.
Rather than enter Time Machine using the Time Machine interface, go to the extrernal drive and drill down in the backups.backupdb folder. Go to a date when you know the files existed. Select Macintosh HD > Users > You > Pictures. Do you see the data. Check size? Do the same for Music.
You can drag from these folders to your Desktop as long as you have space on your internal drive.
I suspect you'll need to erase your Time Machine and start new or you'll need to purchase a larger drive. It's recommended that your Time Machine drive is 3X larger than internal drive.

All my media files have same name

I was working on my project on Final Cut Studio.
Coming along okay.
Saved the project, went out for an hour.
Came back, opened project, and got a "Reconnect Files" message. In other words, one of my files was (is) missing, and I had to look for it in the hardrive.
Don't know why that happened.
So, I click, "Reconnect", browse to my Hard drive, and I see that all my media files have the same name! except they each have a different number at the end, that is, media file1, media file2, etc. I had given them all different names when I captured the video.
Anyway, I cannot find the file that's missing, nor do I know why the files changed names.
Any ideas why this happened?? I don't mind having to re-capture the missing file, it's just one file. I would mind if it was several. But I would like to know if anyone knows why this occurred, why did i lose this one file.
Thank you.

Where are you capturing to? How are you capturing? What are you naming your clip when you capture? Have you set a limit on capture size? Why?

Anything that was on the phone is already gone. You have no choice but to restore. If you were backing up and syncing the phone on a regular basis, you should be able to restore your backup with minimal data loss.

Our Windows PC crashed with all our music on it. There are copies of both purchased (thru iTunes store) and from our own CDs on another HD in a backup file. They are not linked to a Media file. Is there any way I can put this music on my new computer?
