All Media Suddenly Offline

I've been working on this project non stop. I was adding some special effects from After Effects. I saved the comp and went back to Premiere (CS4), but the effects for some reason hadn't been applied. So I rendered the clip in After Effects, then tried to import the .mov into the project, but it kept saying that the width/height was too large, even though it wasn't (it was 720x480). I tried closing the project to start it up again. First I saved it. For some reason when I started Premiere again, it listed my most recent project as my Project Name- 4 (it seemed to be an auto save). When I opened it, all of the media was listed as being offline. I opened the regular project, and all the media was offline as well.

Having media appears as Offline, is usually due to Renaming, Moving, or Deleting the files. Normally, when one Opens the affected Project the first time, PrPro will ask, "where is file _____.mov, etc.?" One would use Find function provided, to show PrPro where those files are now. Once the first one has been located, PrPro will then locate all necessary files in that folder. If in multiple folders, one must do this for each folder.
Now, if one has chosen Skip, or Offline, etc., and then done a Save, those Assets will continue to appear as Offline, until one manually Relinks to them.
If I encounter any issue with Assets, I ALWAYS do a Save_As, so that I still have the original PRPROJ file, with those original links, and will then go find out what happened to my Assets. A common cause is Assets on an external HDD, where one has NOT set the HDD's drive letter in the OS. When one plugs in such an external, it might well have a new drive letter assigned. Since the links to the Assets will contain a absolute Path, the Path has now changed, say from E:\\\\\Videos to F:\\\\Videos, and PrPRo needs help with that.
Good luck,

Media suddenly offline, codec problem?

3 AVI files suddenly went offline after i upgraded from CS4 to CS5
I am unable to find a solution to this myself, anyone out there who can help me?
Thank you. <3

If you're dealing with files that are showing up with only audio and no video, you may have in issue similar to one I had when moving from CS4 to CS5. Somehow CS5 doesn't read things correctly and can't find all the info in the file. My specific scenario was with RED files in a .mov wrapper, but I've seen it happen with other codecs in a .mov wrapper. Never seen it happen with an .avi wrapper, but there's a first-time for everything, I suppose. Try this solution, given to me by Colin Brougham last fall when I had a similar issue. Fixed mine perfectly.
And here's the fix:
Download MPEG Streamclip, and unzip it--no install needed. The latest beta version is fine.
Open one of the broken files in MPEG Streamclip.
Select File > Save As, and select a new save location. You probably want to keep the file name the same as the original (this is the default).
Hit OK.
Profit!
The full details of my problem and Colin's eventual fix can be found here.

All media is suddenly offline and can't link files???

Hello,
Having a real nightmare here. I installed a new drive and put the material from the replaced drive onto the new one, all fine. I was working on a project last night without any problems and today the same project has all media offline and I can't link to the media because it says - "File video dimensions (Width/height) too large" - even with mp3's!
I have tried inporting into a new file, it doesnt work. Other files work, or else prompt for where to point, but then they are fine.
I am using CS4 completely updated, MAtrox Axio LE.
Any help greatly appreciated as I can't work...

Hi Jeff,
Thanks very much for responding, sorry I didnt reply sooner. I have tried everything you've listed there to no avail. some projects still have all media offline and wont allow anything to be imported.
Is there anything else you can think of? I have done so many reinstallations now that I think I will just migrate to FCP, its been so disruptive over the last month or more. Very unfair.
Cheers
Bob

When opening project, media reported offline

Sometimes, when I open PP, a lot of the media will show up offline. This is odd, since it has not moved since the last time I have had the project open. I can verify it is online by navigating in Explorer to the proper folder and playing the video in Quicktime or Windows Media Player.
Relinking the media within PP doesn't work; when I try, I get one of the following messages:
"The file has no audio or video streams" or "The selected file does not contain video media used by clip references in one or more sequences. These video clip references will be deleted, and cannot be undone. Do you want to continue?" (to which I always reply NO).
The only solution to this seems to be to shut down PP and reopen it. This has always solved this seemingly random problem.
So... any idea why this happens or what I can do to avoid it?
Windows 7 SP1 64
Premiere Pro CC 8.2.0 (65)

Intel Core i7 8 core @ 3.20 GHz
24 GB installed RAM - DDR3 1600
Windows 7 Professional, Service pack 1, 64 bit
video cards : 2 X AMD Radeon HD 7970 (3 GB Ram)
Disk drives (all SATA):
1 TB Lacie 7200 RPM for original media - connected via eSATA
1 TB Western Digital Caviar Black 7200 for renders and previews - internal
320GB Western Digital Caviar Blue system drive - internal
Footage is all ProRes 422 in a .mov wrapper.
As far as how it was brought in: I inherited the project about a year ago, so I copied all media from the HD given to me by the producer onto this Lacie drive, then relinked. I have saved well over a hundred versions of this project over the last 13 months and never had a problem until maybe... 6 months ago?
Again, this is intermittent and so far I haven't been able to correlate anything with being a trigger.

Can't get my tv to home share with my pc anymore. It's been working for 11 months and all the sudden lost connection. I even created 2 new itunes accts and logged in on my pc but the tv won't accept any log in.

Our Apple TV worked great for 11 months and all the sudden it doesn't get itunes, netflicks or anything. Won't even let us log into it. Says Itunes isn't available however it's available on my pc and lets me log in on any pc. I even created 2 new accts and logged into them on the pc but apple tv still won't allow login. Tried reconfiguring wifi and other settings. No go still. Help!

maybe this link will help http://www.makeuseof.com/answers/play-media-files-mac-formatted-external-hard-dr ive-hdtv/ unfortunately its for file up to 4 GB size, otherwise try to connect your mac directly to your Tv or I suggest contacting SAMSUNG about this issue, maybe the have assigned softwares for this formatting issues like in western digital for example.

All media players randomly stop outputting a picture

I use mainly Xine-UI. Sometimes after actually playing fine for quite some time, it will suddenly terminate. After that, all media players including xine will no longer display video, only audio. The video won't be black but "bugged" in the way that it does not refresh what was displayed there previously (so for example a thunar window will still be partially shown).
The behaviour actually slightly differs:
SMPlayer will behave as just described, but will continue to run like that and at least play the audio.
Gnome-MPlayer will behave just as SMPlayer except it will display a black picture, not a 'non-redrawn' one.
Xine however will start, a super short moment of audio will be played and then xine will immediately terminate.
Also noteable: If I start Xine when the bug occured and quickly switch workspace before Xine finished loading up, then Xine will play on the "hidden" workspace and output the audio. But the moment I actually switch back to that workspace it will terminate.
These problems seem to occur randomly and I have to log out of X and log back in to "fix" it each time. That will reset everything to normal until it happens again.

That "or something similar" is hardware acceleration and probably vaapi (or vdpau? both exist, find out which, although if you don't know it's likely to be vaapi) which leads to https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=188064 and https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/42221 - so try to disable it in the players or update/wait for linux 3.17
Also somewhere in some logfile, starting the player in question on console and pasting the output here would probably suffice for initial debugging

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

When I open Mail, all accounts are offline. It takes time to get them back online. This is an on-going problem that has been chronic and it has finally gotten me "inspired" to ask the Community

When I open Mail, all accounts appear offline. I have to get back "online" before mail is delivered or sent. Hassle. Any Ideas??

I was having this same issue all week. I'm also using 10.8.5 It was driving me crazy. I think I found a solution. I downloaded and installed the latest security update from Apple in the App Store. I have not had a reoccurance since (?). Maybe that will help you as well.

I have an iPad 2 and so does my mom. We both have the app Slotomania and now all of sudden after having it for months, our games connected and we don't know how to fix it. Deleting it and reinstalling does not work.

Does the app now use iCloud, do you use iCloud and do the two of you use the same account on iCloud?
Just a guess.

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.

HT201543 how do i get my old itune library onto my new laptop, my old laptop is broken but all media is on my phone. Most of the songs are from CD's which i no longer have. HELP!

How do I get my old iTunes library onto my new laptop? My old laptop is broken but all media is on my phone. Most of the songs are from CD's which I no longer have. HELP!

That is not necessarily true. You are allowed to make a back-up of media you own and, at least in the Netherlands, even a copy of a work you've borrowed from a library. The law expressly permits this and you pay a certain amount for recordable media to allow for home use. See http://www.thuiskopie.nl/nl for this. If you then decide to destroy the media, i.e. do not transfer the media to someone else, I don't see how you infringe copyright by keeping the back-up. But I guess some so-called creatives like the idea of making money in all kinds of hypothetical ways...
It is a nice dream, where you have to work once and then earn a lot of money by selling millions of copies from your work. But buyers can make copies too!! Hahahahahaha!

My Facetime has always worked and now all the sudden when I try to log on from my Macbook it says the server has encountered an error with the server registration. This will not allow me to sign in. Anyone know how to fix this?

My Facetime will not work on my Macbook Pro. This has always worked in the past and now all the sudden it says that I have encountered a problem with the server and registration. I tried to check the date and time zone which is correct and I have no restrictions set.

I have the same issue. Does anybody know why this has happened

I all the sudden can't get text form my daughter. She can get mine . When I text her it no longer comes up in blue like iPhone to iPhone does.

I just had this issue today with a company phone and it was fixed by a reset: Hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go.

Lost my laptop, how do I transfer all media from phone to new pc?

By design, the iphone will sync itunes content with one computer at a time. Any attempt to sync such content with a second computer will result in ALL itunes content being first erased from your phone & then replaced with the content from the second computer. This is a design feature and cannot be overridden. Because you are replacing your computer, your phone will see this computer as a "new" computer. The itunes content sync is one way: computer to phone. If you have photos that were synced to your phone or music ripped on your own that were not backed up, you will first have to extract them from your phone using third party software, before you do anything else, as Apple makes no provision to do so:
http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php
Once you've done that, do the following in the order specified:
1. Disable auto sync when an iPod/iPhone is connected under Preferences>Devices in itunes(under the edit menu if using Windows).
2. Make sure you have one contact & one event in the supported applications(Outlook, Windows Address Book) on your computer. These entries can be fake, doesn't matter, the important point is that these programs not be empty.
3. Connect your phone, iTunes running, do not sync at this point.
4. Store>Authorize this computer.
5. File>Transfer Purchases(To make sure all purchased content on your phone will be in your itunes library).
6. Right click in the device pane & select reset warnings.
7. Right click again and select backup.
8. Right click again & select restore from backup, select the backup you just made. When prompted to create another backup, decline.
9. This MUST be followed by a sync to restore your itunes content, which you select from the various tabs, You'll get a popup regarding your contacts & calendars asking to merge or replace, select merge.
You should be good to go.
