Audio files disappear at random

i'm using GB3 to do a Voice Over for a video. I saved the project on an external Hard drive. i have a few problems
1. it won't let me Save as Archive.
2. it won't let me copy the project to my internal HardDrive.
3. when i quit the project then opened it up again moments later, it told me that regions were missing. (as if i had never recorded them)so i had to re-record them. i'm afraid to close the project because every time i open it again it loses more files.
iMac Intel Duo Core,   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

1. it won't let me Save as Archive.
This explains how:

2. it won't let me copy the project to my internal
HardDrive.
What is "it", and how does "it" prevent you from copying a file?

  • My audio file disappears on ipad after I touched it ?

    My audio file disappears on ipad after I touched it ? I used suggested format for audio. I have three audio files on my page, when touched one of them and going to touch another it disappear . What I do wrong? Or it is a bug ?

    Yes, I did solve the problem.  I only had one audio on the page though. The audio appeared to work fine, but then it would disappear. I just deleted the audio. Then I retrieved the audio again from iTunes and placed it back into the book.  Then the audio worked fine. I hope you are able to find a solution.

  • Trashed audio files still playing in presentation

    In a keynote presentation audio files were trashed (I thought) by dragging from the slide to trash. Audio file disappeared from the slide.  Problem is the file still plays.  Any ideas how to find it so that it can be deleted properly.  (Lion and intel) Help appreciated.

    What IS the audio?

    Report back with the codec details of your file, use the programs below

    Once you know exactly what it is you are editing, report back with that information... and your project setting, and if there is a red line above the video in the timeline, which indicates a mismatch between video and project

  • .mts audio files won't import/link

    All of my Premiere Pro cs6 project files now show up with unlinked media. When I try to "link media" to the original files, I get the message "The selected file does not contain audio media used by clip references in one of more sequences. These audio clip references will de deleted, and cannot be undone." If I click "ok", the video does link, but the audio file disappears.
    If I try to import the files anew and drag them into a sequence, the audio doesn't come with it. I've double checked in my media player that files do indeed still contain video.
    I've cleaned the media cached database, and deleted and re-installed Premiere, but nothing's changed. These are .mts files, and I have Windows 7. Any suggestions?

    Hey,
    I am having this problem with one set of mts files. I edited a couple of projects with them previously without issue, now I am trying to update an edit and the audio will not load intp PP. All of my other projects load and work fine.
    The files play fine with WMP, but always show no audio when loaded into PP.
    Any ideas? Of course I am on a deadline to get this edit out.
    Thanks,

  • Logic Can't Locate Audio Files, Random Freak Occurrence?

    I'm not sure if anyone else has experienced this, but today I was asked to bounced down an instrumental of a remix that I had finished a few weeks ago. So when I went to go open up the project, Logic was saying that it couldn't find 3 audio files now all of a sudden, which were all vocal tracks by the way.
    At first I thought Logic was looking for edited audio files because the file names had something like this after them... "#21312.wav". I did not see actual audio files that had any of these edited names so I thought that I had really lost the edited audio files some how, but what I did actually see with those edited names were actual folders inside the "Edits" folder of the project folder.
    After the project had opened, I looked inside the Media bay window and the three audio files that Logic could not find had an exclamation mark next to them obviously. So I thought about trying something... I double clicked on the exclamation mark on each of the missing files again and I just decided to see what would happen if I chose the audio with out the "#12321.wav" names. It seems as though everything loaded fine and that those "#234323.wav" are not actual files, but folders with edit instructions for the original file in the "audio" folder of a project folder.
    This has been the first and hopefully the last time it has happened to me (knock on wood), and I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this before? I would love to know why it happened out of the blue. Logic 8 has been good to me so far, hardly any crashes or other problems, hopefully it's just a random one time freak occurrence!

    I did have this issue early on in version 7. It had to do with where I stored certain files and it happened after switching from a G5 to an Intel Mac. I think the issue came from having my Logic content on a separate drive and folder, and when I reinstalled logic I didn't use the same folder for its content.

  • Random audio file playing

    Hi!  I've been having random audio files playing on my RAZR.  It sounds like a video that automatically starts playing on websites.  However, I'm not on the browser, have windows open, or even using the phone.  I unlock the phone and there's nothing in the notification bar.  No apps are open on the home screen. 
    My Alarm Clock Plus app will sometimes play an alarm after I've turned it off.  Because there's nothing in the notification bar to stop the music, I have to shut down my phone to stop it.  This may be an app bug but has anyone had random audio files playing?

        Hi Es80
    It sounds like that phone is possessed! Let's get this fixed! It sounds like it may be an application error. Please power the device on in safe mode and retest. Here's how:http://bit.ly/QfA8MZ
    Please let me know if the issues persists.

  • Firefox is causing my imac screen to go blank (crash) and I have to restart. Most of the time its random, but recently it did it everytime I finished listening to an audio file online. Is there a solution for this?

    Firefox is causing my imac screen to go blank & I have to restart. It's been happening randomly for weeks now. I haven't been able to tie an action that causes it. Firefox is open while I work in other adobe software. Recently it has done it every time the audio file finished that I'm listening to online and that makes me think it's tied to Firefox. Is there something I can do to fix this? For now, I am going to quit firefox while I work and see if that doesn't improve my situation for now.

    Does it still happen if you disable all plugins?
    Did it start happening after a Firefox update or a plugin update?

  • HELP! Imported audio files now randomly out of sync!

    I cut a short film a while ago. It was shot on HDV. I used some in-camera audio (from the HDV tapes) but also, some audio files from my sound mixer, which I originally imported as WAV files and manually sunc them up. Everything was fine.
    Later, I outgrew the original media drive and upgraded, copying all of my media to the new drive. When I did that, I noticed that all of the camera audio was fine, but all of the audio that had been imported from those WAV files was randomly out of sync -- meaning that some files were 1 sec early, some 16 frames late, etc.
    When I broke the link and re-linked to the original drive, all was fine again. Now, however, doing that makes those original files out of sync also.
    When I relink these files now, FCP ALWAYS finds a discrepency with them: They supposedly have a different "Media Start and End" and "Rate." Apparently, that's why they're being offset, but they're the EXACT same files that I started with, so what's up?!??
    Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. They represent A LOT of work to fix one by one.

    This is what it says under FORMAT: 24-bit Integer (Little Endian), Mono, 48.000 kHz
    Incidentally, this is EXACTLY the same for both the files on the original drive (that play perfectly in sync) and the copied ones that are out of sync.
    I realize that FCP likes AIFFs, but WAVs is what my sound guy gave me.
    Any other ideas?

  • Tricking iTunes into Thinking a Random Audio File is a Podcast

    I have some older audio files that I want to store with my Podcasts. Basically, I am looking for a way to change file codes or creator codes (or somesuch) so that when I drag the file into iTunes, it gets stored with a group of previously existing Podcasts to which I subscribe.
    I know that (usually) if I take a Podcast audio file out of iTunes and copy it to my desktop and then delete the original track inside iTunes, I can restore the file to its rightful place in the list of Podcasts simply by dragging the copy that I made back into iTunes.
    I am looking to do something similar here, but the files I want to add weren't delivered to me by my Podcast subscription. I got them somewhere else and I just want to add them to the corresponding set of Podcasts in my iTunes.

    Try this -> Re-Add Selected Tracks as Podcast v1.2
    "This script will re-add the files of the selected tracks to iTunes as if they were a Podcast subscription. The files will then appear in the Podcasts playlist and "behave" as though they are a group of Podcast episodes."

  • Random substitution of audio files

    Hi,
    I'm having a peculiar problem with audio files. When I had Express 7, clicking on a audion region brought up the sample editor for that region. When I do that in E8 I often get the audio file of a completely different track. Then, yesterday, I tried to solo a guitar audio track, and E8 played back a synth track even though the guitar track plays back just fine when not soloed. Anyone know what going on here or is this in need of a bug report? Thanks,

  • Audio Capture Scratch Files Disappeared....

    But not all of the audio files are missing. Can't quite figure it out as some of the originals within the same audio capture scratch folder still exist.
    Any thoughts.
    FYI: Things were cool until I tried to digitize some new video when a message popped up asking if I'd like to add, continue or abort from reconnecting some 26 missing files. I think I hit continue which may have erased some things. They can't be lost forever, right?
    In the meantime--I've restored the project today to settings saved from when all was good yesterday. Also, have adjusted and readjusted capture scratch settings in batch capture mode. However, this provided no new results.

    You can import audio files into FCE from any location
    on any HD. The audio file itself could be in your
    iTunes music folder but if so, I suggest making a
    duplicate copy of the song file in some other folder
    (your choice, your location, your folder name) to
    minimize the risk of accidently messing up something
    in your iTunes music folder.
    You could even drag a copy of the file from the
    Finder into the FCE Browser. Once it's in the FCE
    Browser, you can drag the music file onto one of your
    audio tracks.
    The ideal format is AIFF, 16-bit, stereo, 48Khz.
    Truly thanks for that. But... In order to convert the iTunes file to the above, I have to go to the iTunes Pref. window and the folder location field, click the Change button and navigate to the "project's audio media folder"... But I don't have, can't find or don't know how to make that folder. So I can't specify the destination. I'd love to drag/drop, but the format won't be AIFF, 16 bit 48kHz.
    When I read the manuals instruction for importing directly from a CD, it also says to drag the files into my "project's audio media folder", so I'm back to the same problem. I guess I could try dragging from the CD directly to my browser, and I will, but even if that works for now, I need to understand what/where/how to create the audio media folder, as I fear I'm missing a basic understanding here.
    And why is there no Audio Capture Scratch folder showing in the FCE doc folder? Even if this unrelated and irrelevant, I'm still puzzled about that. I'd appreciate any clues here. Thanks again.

  • Sample editor doesn't open selected audio file in 8.0.2

    Hey there.
    I've just upgraded to Logic pro 8.0.2 from 8.0. When i drag an audio file (a) into the arrange page and then double click on it, it says "nothing to display". It then randomly displays the file (a) but when i double click on another audio file (b) it opens up audio file (a).
    Very strange behaviour that surprisingly didn't occur in Logic pro 8.0.
    Any suggestions would be really appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hey Jorge.
    Thanks for the suggestion. I've actually had to re-install the bug ridden 8.0.0 version to get it to work. Never thought i'd be saying that
    I haven't updated it yet as i need to get some work done before i waste another day trying to sort out mysterious errors.
    Thanks anyway

  • Unable to save Photoshop files in original folder: file disappears

    Hi,
    At random moments when I'm saving layered Photoshop CS5 files, a message pops up with the following text:
    Could not save "\...\FileName..." because the file is locked or you do not have the necessary access privileges. Use the 'Properties' command in the Windows Explorer to unlock the file.
    Well the strange thing is that I'm the administrator, the only user of this PC and even when I set/check the properties of the folder containing the files this continues to happen. What is even more disturbing is that I have to save my file as a new file in a new location and when I check the original file, it is no longer in it's original folder.
    I save all my files to the local HD and I use an external device to backup my files. I regularly get notices on my backup device telling me that various files were deleted, but will be kept until I need the room. These are files which I did not delete, they are files which I'm still working on.
    I'm having to save to the original job folder first, save to the desktop when I get the notice saying I can't save, and then save back into the original folder when I can't save on the desktop anymore because of the same error message. I sometimes get a similar Adobe error message which is basically along the same lines, but I haven't noted the exact text yet.
    Recently I closed a file which I had saved and when I needed to return to it, it was nowhere on my computer. I'm very organised about file saving, so it's not a matter of saving files in the wrong place.
    I no longer run my back up continuously while I'm working because while it's great to have the peace of mind that I'm regularly backed up, my files can get up to 2GB in size and I think the backup running at the same time is slowing Photoshop processes down, so I most often pause it until I take a break. On this occasion, I had been running it while working (smaller file) and so I was able to retrieve an earlier version from my backup which saved me from having to re-do the job completely. I didn't get this problem when I was using CS5 on Vista, it's been since I've been using Windows7 and my back up drive.
    I only recall having had this problem with PSDs, but that could just be because these files can take up to ten hours to complete and there's a higher chance of getting an error message over a longer period of time.
    It doesn't happen very often by there has been the very rare occasion where two versions of exactly the same file have been visible in the original job folder (same name on both files). To check if files are where they're supposed to be or if they seem to exhist, I have to close the job folder and re-open it.
    I'll disconnect my back up drive while I'm working and see how it goes. It's not ideal, but probably worth a try.
    I don't know if there's a connection, but occasionally windows randomly sticks a lock on zipped folders which I create, regardless of the permissions I apply to the upper level folder they sit in.  I'm told by a friend that it won't affect other people accessing these zipped folders from other machines. I don't know if that's the case, I always change the zipped folder's permission to include 'Users' and that makes the lock disappear.
    I will run this file disappearance thing by Microsoft, but I thought I'd run it buy you guys first in case you can shed any light on it.
    Meanwhile here are my specs. If you have any suggestions on how I can boost my computer's performance for large format print work in Photoshop I'd be happy to know. It's not bad now, but faster is always more pleasant:

    A great first chapter Charlie. Can't wait for the rest of the book.
    The only time I've had anything like this happen, was in a new build after hooking the drives from the old system, but the permissions really were screwed up, and it was a straight forward fix. Is the machine networked perhaps? The files open in another app? I expect you answered this already somewhere in your forum equivalent of War & Peace. ;-) The lads on the Premiere Pro hardware forum can be disparaging about Dell and HP machines, saying their proprietary hardware and software are inaccessible, so I wonder if it is something along those lines.
    I’d definitely unhook the second drive as a starting point, or at least double/treble check its permissions.
    The only other thing I can think of is changing the state of ‘Save as to original folder’ in Preferences > file handling, but this is all very tenuous and straw clutching.

  • I am unable to delete zombie bookmarks (no link) in Normal or Safe Mode Firefox 3.6.13 Mac 10.4.11, bookmarks disappear at random

    Firefox 3.6.13 (Mac Mini, OS 10.4.11) has repeatedly been losing my bookmarks in random fashion. For example, all bookmarks in a single folder have disappeared. Randomly, my bookmarks toolbar is truncated to just 6 items, although all toolbar bookmarks remain visible in the Library. The Library will randomly lose the http location for two to four bookmarks and then those "zombie" bookmarks cannot be accessed, deleted, moved, or edited. I've tried Safe Mode, same problem. I've disabled all add-ons in Normal Mode, same problem. I've reverted to bookmark backups and everything is okay for a short time (minutes sometimes, hours others), then the problems reappear on different bookmarks. Totally frustrating and maddening.

    This can be a problem with the file places.sqlite that stores the bookmarks and the history.
