Audio audible in one Encore timline, but not the other?
Hello,
I'm trying to troubleshoot an issue in an Encore timeline for Blu-ray with an MPEG-2 and AC3 file. It's odd because with the exact same file specs for both video and audio, I'm able to hear the audio from test project timeline (shorter in duration), but not the full length project timeline (roughly an hour and half in duration).
I'm in the process of burning a disk to verfiy that the audio is simply not there, rather than a playback issue with the longer project, but can anyone suggest what might be failing here? Again, the two projects appear to be identical in settings and file specs for video and audio, only the duration of one (working) is shorter than the other (not working).
The audio file has been validated outside of Encore as playing back audio.
Thanks for anything thoughts anyone might have here. Btw, the project has no menu screens. It is for a "play only" Blu-ray disk.

Stan, thanks for the questions / feedback.
As it turns out the file specs were not identical ! No fault of Adobe- an ingest / encode application from another company mysteriously swapped out channels 1/2 of audio to 5/6, and were not readable in Encore. This information was not readiliy accessible within Encore, but was discovered in bringing the audio into Final Cut Pro (where it could be heard).
Thanks again for your thoughts, as always.

I have 2 iPods one I don't use anymore. I would like to make a new account for one but not the other. Is that possible? If I wipe the memory in one will the other wipe out too? How can I do all of this?
You don't have to do anything with the first iPod that you don't use anymore. If you are planning on keeping it, put in a drawer in your house and forget about it.
You don't need a second account to use with the new iPod. I use one Appl e ID and iTunes library for two iPods, and two iPad. I have different content on all four devices. You can select exactly what you want to sync to each device and it can be different content on all devices. -
Request for advice: TM/TC fails on one Macbook Pro, but not the other?
Dear All- looking for some advice.
Background: I installed a 1TB TC about 3 months ago to improve the wireless connectivity around the home/small business and to act as 1 stop backup- primarily for 2 main Macbook Pro’s. Everything seems to work fine, with the exception that the time machine will only successfully back up one Macbook Pro (my wife's) and not the other (mine). In fact I have NEVER been able to get a full successful backup for my machine since I bought my TC.
Scenario: My wireless router from my TC services 2 Macbook Pro’s, 1 iMac, iPhone, Sony PSP, Sony PS3 etc. All successfully and at a good speed. The TC also runs time machine for backups on the 2 Macbook Pros. One MBPro (my wife’s), has worked like a charm and flawless (pre Oct 2008 model 4.1, 2.5Ghz Intel core 2 Duo, 4GB (667MHz)DDR2 SDRAM, OSX 10.5.8, 250GB HD, 512MB video). TM Backup over wireless to my TC works great. While the other (mine) I have NEVER been able to get a successful backup once (MBPro post Nov 2008 model 5.1, 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB (1067MHz) DDR3 RAM, OSX 10.5.8, 300GB HD, 768MB Video).
Problem: I have tried a number different combinations of backup without success. I have diligently read numerous posts before coming here. My attempts include, preferences resets, full disk erases (re-named the disk several times), wireless connectivity, hardwired connectivity (i.e no other devices connected), some software running/ no software running, in sleep mode/without sleep mode, all at once backup or intermittent backups.
All provide me with the same message that it is not able to complete a full backup due to a writing error ‘Backup Failed’. At this stage I would not be convinced that the TC is actually working properly, with the exception that it works flawlessly with my wife’s Macbook Pro (yes every time I erase the drive) and that the wireless connectivity is great. My account preferences and setup/access for the TC/TM are identical to the machine that works. The volume I am trying to backup on my machine is ~258GB, while my wife’s machine that works is only around 78GB. I thought this may still be the source of the failure, but cannot see a work around or why.
Considering I bought the TC to allow a solid reliable backup, I am still unhappy and would like to continue to work for a resolve. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
SDPWelcome to the discussions, xSDP!
Apologies if you have already tried this, but I couldn't find it in your detailed list of prior actions.
Note the exact name of your hard drive on your computer. If you haven't changed this, it will be named Macintosh HD
Open Hard Drive > Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
Click on the icon on the left side of the window that has the exact same name as your hard drive on the desktop
Click Repair Disk Permissions
It will probably take several hours to do this, so allow plenty of time.
Once the process is complete, see if you can backup now. -
Washed Out Color on One User Account But Not The Other
Heyo,
I'm on my second Macbook Pro. Apple had to replace the first one. But that's behind us.
Anyway, I have a bit of a predicament. I've noticed that the colors on my main user account are washed out and dull. I created a new user account to see if the problem was a hardware or software issue.
The thing is, the account with washed out colors has Adobe Photoshop, and the rest of the Design Premium CS3 suite - as well as Final Cut Studio 2 - but these are not on the other.
So, I'm guessing that this issue is connected with CS3 and FCS 2.
This issue appears regardless of what color profile I use. But I normally use the Adobe RGB profile - which is what I used to test the other account.
Any ideas what I could do to get my color back? Is there a setting I can change for this?
Thanks for any help,
MichaelI'd try to isolate a corrupted user preference file.
Apparently, Diskwarrior now claims to fix those. Or you can just look through the preferences folder in your user folder and start pulling some of those out to the disktop, log out and then log back in and see if that does anything.
When something is affecting one account but no others, I think the clear majority of the time it is a user preference file that is responsible. -
CS5.5 Premiere Pro & After Effects launch in one user profile but not the other
I’m having two issues. One with AE getting hung up on loading the MediaCore and the other with Premiere Loading the ExpoerterQuickTime.bundle I’ve looked and looked for solutions and haven’t found any with my problem.
I’m running a Mid-2010 MBP 8GB RAM with Lion and CS5.5 I’ve done a uninstall and reinstalled and still same problem. It works on other user profiles on my computer but not mine and that’s the one with all the content! Any help?
I launched AE with Alt+Command+Shift down which reset my preferences and whatnot but then it gave me a warning about the MediaCore and let me continue but now it's hung up on the the user interface. I don't know what to do. Any help from anybody would be greatly appreciated!!!
UPDATE
Loggin in as the Super Admin User worked for Premiere for whatever reason which is awesome! Thanks!
However After Effects is still looking for that MediaCore. And now Media Encoder isn't working. (Not that I really use it but if it doesn't work the issue might be somewhere else. Again. I tried all of these in the Super User account and the other normal account and they worked fine. Just not here in mine. Any ideas for that?
I don't have any firewalls up, It's all wide open. And I tried the second option there of removing all of the quicktime plugins in the Quicktime folder but it still gets hung up on the MediaCore.
I went into the super user and edited a AE project then came out and open the project instead of the dock icon and it went on and gave me the quicktime isn't installed bit and something might not work properly. But from playing around in it I've not seen anything different. This is an extrememly frustrating situation. I can get both programs open now but it's all janky and isn't working properly. I consider Premier to be a done deal, it's got no issues. I just need to figure out this mediacore business.
Original Post from the Premier Forum, thought I'd get better luck here in the AE one. Thank you for any help!
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3901233#3901233Yea, it's the main account i use. So I got all the permissions set up correctly. The rest of the CS suite open just fine it's just those two that give me hickups.

One charger works but not the other
Just had something weird happen to my Macbook (13' 2.4GHz Model). I tried plugging in my adapter (L shaped one) and it was not charging. LED light was not lit up on the charger and connection felt loose. So i thought this meant I have a damaged port.
Just to be sure, I took out the T shaped adapter that I had kept from the previous macbook and lo and behold it is charging my macbook. The connect is loos-ish but not as bad as before. So that made me think the L shaped adapter was damaged. But then when i tested that it out on my old macbook which began charging as if nothing was wrong. The connection was a lot stronger.
Now my question is, should I get my magsafe port on my newer machine checked out or should I continue to use the T shaped adapter? And if I should replace the port would I be able to replace the existing port with the port in the older machine (machine has damaged logic board so it's really just for parts)Actually, there are other threads about another issue that sounds similar. If you remove your battery and replace it, the charger will begin working. If for some reason this does not work, you can reset your SMC.
Until this is fixed, my new method for plugging in my 2008 Macbook Pro is to plug it in before opening the cover, and if it doesn't work, then remove and replace the battery before opening. That way, if it is sleeping (LED pulsating) when the battery is replaced it will restore sleep from the saved image. If you were to remove the battery too soon after closing the lid, it would be in the process of saving the sleep data, and a full restart would be needed.

My 2nd gen ipod shuffle will charge on my old vitsta computer but not my new windows 8 computer. Does anyone know why that might be? The new computer recognizes the ipod and I can see everything on it, change settings, etc. it just won't charge. Is there a reason as to why this should be happening?
Just bought a refurbished 2nd generation ipod
shuffle. I am running the very latest version of OS X
and iTunes on an iBook G3 600 mhz with the slower USB
ports, not 2.0 ports. The ipod mounts and is
regognized by itunes, but I cannot seem to register
the ipod from itunes, it always has an error message
when I submit to register (all forms are filled out
correctly). The registration window in iTunes shows
that this ipod is formatted for Windows (from the
previous owner I assume) and may be causing my
problems?
No. ALL shuffles are FAT32 format.
The other problem is that it will not sync and
transfer any music from itunes library. I am trying
to transfer simple mp3 files that should be compliant
with the ipod specs. No luck even after multiple
restarts on the ipod. Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you.

Can Vid Chat with one computer login, but not the other--HELP!!!
When I login to my computer using my account, I am unable to video chat. However, when I login using my daughter's login, I can video chat. What gives? As far as I can see the settings are all the same. I can get as far as sending an invitation to video chat with somebody, but then it just churns while waiting for the other person to accept the invitation. In other words, they accept, but the last connection step doesn't happen. It happens when I'm logged in under my daughter's computer login, but not mine. Also, when I get an invitation to video chat, the same thing happens. I accept and then it just sits and churns waiting for that last step. I have a .Mac account and she has an AIM account, but it doesn't help when I switch to my AIM account. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.
Go to Users/(your account)/Library/Preferences and delete com.apple.ichat.AIM.plist and restart iChat.

IPhoto '11 works on one user account but not the other
I upgraded to iPhoto '11 from iPhoto '08 a couple of weeks ago using the MacApp store. After doing so, I opened the application on my main user account, received a message that the library had to be updated, the application did so, and it has been working wonderfully since. The problem I'm having is with my wife's user account. I did not open the application and upgrade the library immediately on this account. Before I could do so, my wife hooked up her iPhone to sync, which automatically opened iPhoto. I get the gray screen with the large spinning wheel in the center, and her library never appears. I have tried two strategies to fix this, and so far, have had no luck. The first was to hold option while launching the application, and selecting her library. I get the exact same result doing this. My next strategy was to completely delete iPhoto from my system, then re-download and reinstall it, and try to open the library once again. Unfortunately, this did not work. I thought the next step should be to delete iPhoto '11, reinstall iPhoto '08, open my wife's library using iPhoto '08, then reinstall '11 and upgrade her library. Since iLife came preinstalled on my mac when I purchased it years ago, I'm not certain how to reinstall iPhoto '08. Does anyone know how to do this, or have another suggestion for solving this problem? Thank you in advance for your help!
In your wife's account:
Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
*What's the plist file?*
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

Panasonic TV. Apple TV works with one HDMI input but not the other.
I have the latest version of Apple Tv and an older Panasonic TX32LXD60 Tv. The TV has two HDMI inputs. Apple TV works perfectly on HDMI1, but shows nothing on HDMI2. I am using exactly the same cable. HDMI2 works fine with my DVD player. Can anyone explain how I can get HDMI2 to accept Apple TV?
Update - Panasonic support wrote the following:
"Thank you for your e-mail enquiry regarding your Panasonic product.
I have discussed your issue with our head office AV technica ldept & they have confirmed that as the DVD player works on the HDMI input there is nothig wrong with the TV. It may be there is an incompatability with the apple TV interface & the TV. Nothing can be done to solve this as there would be not adjustments you could make to the HDMI inputs on the TV."
so according to them its not their product!
I have solved my problem by getting a Samsung TV - brilliant picture and no technical problems (so far!!) -

We have a number of users all of a sudden getting "No connectivity with the server. The file 'xxx' can't be opened because the server couldn't be contacted." errors trying to open MS Office docs (Word, Excel, etc.) in SharePoint with IE,
just by clicking the link and selecting the "Read Only" option. If they select the "Check Out and Edit" option, they can open the document no problem. One of my customers gets the error on one document but not the other, in
the same document library! The older document (a weekly report) was copied and renamed as per standard procedure. She can read the older document, but not the new one.
It is definitely a profile issue, as other people have logged onto the machines of the users with problems and do not get the error. We have also renamed people's c:\user profile folders and the corresponding Profilelist registry entry and the newly
created profile does not experience the error for these people. Renaming the profile back restores all their personal settings but the error reappears. When we copied the old profile's folder structure into the new profile, many of the user settings
were restored (but not all, like Dreamweaver settings) but the error did not appear. We think that the system folders files (like AppData) weren't totally copied over so we're going to run another test using xcopy. We are rebooting between
logons to make sure all files are unlocked.
The laptops and computers are mainly 32bit, Win7 Enterprise running IE9 and Office 2010 Professional Plus, but there's a few 64bit machines as well. The SharePoint farm has 1 WFE, 1 App Server running search and CA, and a shared database server running SQL
2005 SP4. SharePoint is 64bit MOSS 2007 with the latest CU.
We've checked the logs on the client as well as on the server and there aren't any helpful entries. We've also run Process Monitor, also with no helpful entries. We're planning to run something like Fiddler next.
It's not everyone, because there are many people are accessing the SharePoint system and the same files. It is also not a permission thing, as we've tested by giving the users elevated permissions with no changes. One person experiencing
the errors is a Site Collection Admin. That same person ran a test where I coped a simple Excel file into a Document Library which contained a problem file. They were able to open it Read Only no problems that day, but the next day, the same
file gave them an error. In their case, they usually get a "xxx is not checked out" error and only occasionally get the "No connectivity with the server" error.
We've tried lots of things including:
Deleting IE cache
Deleting SharePoint Drafts and webcache folder contents
Running IE without add-ons
Upgrading and Downgrading IE
Uninstalling and re-installing IE
Reinstalling our SSL certs
Repairing Office
Removing and then adding back in the Microsoft Office "Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Support" Office Tool
Deleting all HKLM and HKLU Office registry settings
Toggling IE Compatibility Settings
Toggling the IE Automatic Logon option
Toggling the location of checked out files
Adding the site in the trusted sites list
Adding the site to the WebClient\Parameters registry locations
Making sure the WebClient service is started
Rebooting the machine (lol :)
This is becoming a serious issue, not just because of the inconvenience for the users having to check out every document they want to read, but we have some files with macros that open up other documents to run which are now failing. There aren't
"check out" workarounds for some of those macros.
We're planning to open a ticket with Microsoft, but I'm throwing it out here first in case someone has run into this before, or may have some suggestions on what to try next. Thanks!

PS I think this needs to be in the "General" forum instead?It took three days of dedicated troubleshooting, but I have found the cause of the errors, and a couple of fixes. It helped tremendously that my own machine was throwing the error. I have scheduled a couple of users to work with me to test the
various fixes, to see which one works best, so the story isn't over yet.
I had backed up my c:\users profile folder and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList registry key so I could restore my profile after I was done. I made a copy of the profile folder and was using that for awhile,
but then made another copy where I had deleted a lot of content out of it so that the copies would go faster. Since a newly created profile did not have errors, I was trying to copy back as much of the profile as possible to make it easier for our users
to get back to work. Instead of blowing away their profile and starting from scratch (which we know worked) I wanted to narrow down what was causing the error and just skip that from the restore. The concept was to keep as much as the users profile
in tact (application settings, etc.) not just restoring their desktop and My Documents folders.
When we first tested a few weeks ago, simply copying the folder contents didn't reproduce the error. I then tried xcopy, but got the "can't read file" error. Then I tried robocopy, and ran into the "junction" problem.
I went back to xcopy, and found that placing the excludes.txt file in the windows/system32 folder eliminated the error.
So the process went as follows:
Reboot and log into the machine as another user
Delete the profile and associated registry key
Reboot and log into the machine as the affected user, creating a new profile, and there is no error
Reboot and log in as the other user
xcopy the contents of the skinned-down backed-up profile to the newly created profile
Reboot and log in as the affected user, and the error occurs
Repeat the above, but add items in the excludes.txt file to see what, when eliminated, causes the error not to appear in the last step
I eventually found that skipping the c:\users\<profile folder>\appdata\local\Microsoft\office\14.0 folder allowed the entire profile to be copied over without the error occurring. That was strange, because we've cleaned out the cache folders
before which didn't fix the issue.
So I went about it the opposite way, and tried to delete the 14.0 folder from the restored profile, and after reboot, the error still occurred.
What eventually worked was deleting the 14.0 folder and copying over a 14.0 folder from a newly created profile!
One way to do this was to:
Reboot and log in as another user
Rename the c:\users profile folder
Rename the appropriate [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList] registry key
Reboot and log in as the affected user, confirm that there is no error
Reboot and log in as the other user
Copy the C:\Users\<profile folder>\AppData\Local\microsoft\Office\14.0 folder to the other user's desktop
Delete new profile folder, and rename the backup to be the production folder
Delete the C:\Users\<profile folder>\AppData\Local\microsoft\Office\14.0 folder and then paste the 14.0 copy from the desktop
Reboot and log in as the affected user, confirm that there is no error
We've tried this on a couple machines and it works. I had to run Windows Explorer as Administrator to access the other profile's folders.
We've also successfully copied a 14.0 folder created by one profile on one affected computer over another profile's folder on another computer, eliminating the error, so we're trying that first, as that is fewer steps.
We may attempt to script this, but the self-help instructions are only 5 lines long:
Reboot and log into the affected computer with another account
Go to <link to location of 14.0 folder on network> and copy the 14.0 folder
Run Windows Explorer as Administrator
Go to c:\users\<profile folder>\appdata\local\microsoft\office and delete the 14.0 folder, and paste the copied 14.0 folder (trying to overwrite it makes Win7 want to merge the folders)
Reboot and log into your normal account, and confirm the error is gone
I'll come back and report after we go into the field with this fix, but after the few tests, I am cautiously optimistic that this is it.
