Audio files turned into white noise

I just opened a couple of session I kept on my firewire audio drive and for some reason some of the audio files have been turned into white noise and obviously rendered unusable. Has this ever happened to anyone? If so can you do anything to sort it out?
Some of those where really important so I would really appreciate if someone had a solution.
Thanks
Luc

Creepy!!!

Media Encoder CS5.5 Audio being converted into white noise

I have recently started getting an intermittent problem where some video files are being encoded to FLV with the picture looking fine, but the sound coming out as white noise.
The file used for the encoding looks and sound fine in every other app i have. I have been using the same preset within ME to create all the files for our website, for years!.It should be stereo 96kbps MPEG 3 but all i get is static.
The source videos are all edited , mixed and output the same way too.
The files being sent to Encoder are on Mac 10.6.5, and were created in Final Cut Pro using the Prores422 codec, with audio as Linear PCM 16bit/48khz
I have just rebooted the mac, installed the latest CS5.5 upgrades, repaired permissions, but still the problem persists.
Can anyone suggest a solution?

seems i did answer this myself last year!
i need to re-ecode the source material in a format other than 10bit uncompressed for Encoder to be happy with it. I thought the file was already Prores - must be an older file thats causing the trouble.

Anyone know how I can get an audio file imported into my iTunes' podcast directory, rather than the music directory?

Anyone know how I can get an audio file imported into my iTunes' podcast directory, rather than the music directory?
I downloaded a series of podcasts recently. They were imported into my "music" directory instead, making it more difficult for me to recall where I left off with the last podcast I listened to before having to stop it for whatever reason. Thanks in advance for any help.

You can do it, though the result isn't ideal. Import your episode, then select it in the Music list and hit command-i to bring up the info panel:
However each episode you do this with will turn up as a 'podcast' with no name - and it doesn't seem possible to give it one - containing the one episode:

Download the lnk registry fix from www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/19449-default-file-type-associations-restore.html. Reinstall iTunes. Should you find that all of your desktop shortcuts have again turned into links to the iTunes application apply the patch.

When smb sharing, files turn into folders

I use Mountain Lion on my 2012 Air. I connect to a hard drive on my wireless router using the SMB protocol. Random files turn into folders.
I don't know if this is a problem with the OS X SMB protocol or my wireless router, which is a Linksys e3500.
Has anyone encountered this problem?

Insert an audio file (MP3) into a BLOB

I want to insert an audio file (MP3) into a db table.
i have declared the db field to be blob.
can anybody tell me what java code to write to insert an audio obj into db blob field.
thanxx in advance.
Raheel

I have never tried an MP3 file but have done images.
I assume the same type of methods would work.
Try looking at some of these forum answers.

Media Encoder turns audio into white noise!

I'm running CS5.5 on an intel Mac 10.6.5, and i have been having problems encoding to flv.
All my videos are edited the same way, and using the same formats etc, yet recently I have found that when converting to .flv, some will work fine, and others will have the audio replaced by white noise.
I cannot figure out what the problem could be. I have also tried using the CS5 version and that is having the same issues.
Checking through the video specs, it appears that the one difference is that the ones which worked fine are all Apple ProRes 422 HQ files, and the ones which failed are Apple 10bit Uncompressed. The strange thing is the audio is the same for both. Yet when the encode problem happens, the video for both is fine, its just the audio where the problem appears.
Anyone else seen this problem? or better still have a solution?
adam

I've answered it myself.
The problem relates to using Uncompressed 10bit movie files...seems the CS5 versions have a problem handling the audio on these. The solution for me was to run the files through Compressor first and change them to Apple ProRes422, before running them through AME.
works every time now!
now if only i could find the bug report form....

Logic 9 busting into white noise while recording!!

Well the title says almost all of it! I've been using Logic 8 happily for ...since it came out.....and I used Logic 9 successfully yesterday when just doing vocals over a backing track but today I tried my first full band recording in Logic 9 and at random places while in record, the audio just totally turns into deafening white noise! The Hard drive meter is showing massive peaks and logic shows a "too slow" error. The songs has a few virtual amplifiers in it (amplitube) but nothing lethal and I've loaded the exact same song (saved from logic 9) into logic 8 and it's working flawlessly so for now at least I'm reverting to using Logic 8 :-(((
Oh well, I guess Logic 9 will be awesome when it's finished :-)) Any suggestions of things I can try or will this be a 9.01 situation?
Many Thanks for any help,
Gareth

Hi Ya,
Combo update , yes
ProKit 5, yes,
Restart, yes,
Repair permissions, I'll try that
and as for using it professionally...that's the only way I do use it!!
Someone has to find the bugs for Apple to fix them.
As for contacting our host, not exactly. I've been a happy logic user (and basically still am I should add) since Notator days but now that the tech support phone numbers have been long since discarded (Sound technology in the UK, bless them) I have no idea how to report a bug or a problem to Apple. I can get someone in Ireland to tell me where to take a broken mac back to, but support for pro software, I have no idea who to get hold of.Does anyone here know of a Tech support contact email?

Raw Files turn into 175kb preview files.

I have download my RAW files from my Canon 1DS into Photoshop CS2 using a Lexar card reader.
They download as a full RAW file but when I go to open them in bridge the turn into a 175 kb preview file! The strange thing is I download 5 gbs from 5 different cards but not all of them did it. I found that if I download the images several times they would eventually download as full RAW files. I am using a G5 MAC with loads of memory and processing capacity. Is it the problem that the cards are corrupting, the card reader is faulty, CS2 is somehow corrupt (it is a fully registered copy) or that bridge has some weird glich in it. This problem has only just started as I have been this software for some months now.
Cheers Brent.

Leopard? You aren't doing a command/copy (move) are you? There have been reports that "moves" in Leopard is broken...
Otherwise, try another card reader or cable. This isn't something Bridge would be doing to your files...

How is it possible, that a pdf file turns into a psd file while sending with mail

I have send a pdf file as attachment with mail. the file shows correctly as pdf file. but when the file arrived at the addressed location it turned into a psd file. in addition it seems there is a problem sending png and ai files. once those files have arrived through mail I am getting the feedback, that the files are are not scalable, they are fuzzy or completely messed up.
has anyone an idea, where the problem comes from?
thanks for response

ID CS3 : the 101 buttons bug - PDF file turning into a form

Hi there,
I'm just mentionning this issue with a clear title (I had mentioned it in another thread but with a wrong topic name, since I hadn't found out the bug).
When working in inDesign CS3, there's a slight but annoying issue with interactive PDF buttons. As soon as your file reaches 101 buttons, the PDF document exported is considered as a form instead of a standard document (no matter if the buttons are present on the master pages, on the same pages or through the document).
I've managed to find a workaround myself, and I found another one on these forums, but no real solution. Here they are:
Workaround #1 (http://http://forums.adobe.com/message/2177707#2177707) :
Instead of creating my controls in the master page (which caused the file to have more than 100 buttons), I created them (only once) in the first page they appeared in. Then, in Acrobat Pro, I just selected them and used the "duplicate" command.
There are two benefits when using this solution:
your PDF document won't turn into a form (which can be a real problem if you don't want to confuse the document users).
your PDF file will be lighter. Indeed, when creating a button in inDesign (even if you create it on the master page) the exported PDF document won't contain X occurences of the same button, but X different buttons (which can incread the size of your document dramaticaly when it reaches a large amount of pages).
Yet, if your document reaches 101 buttons on the solemn content, the bug will trigger anyway.
Workaround #2 (http://http://forums.adobe.com/message/1322652#1322652) :
After having exported your PDF file, lock it against editing (through the password protection system). Your document will still be considered as a form, but the annoying purple box won't pop any longer when you open the file.
This solution is quite simpler, but it still is a workaround to the issue, not a solution.
Well, I hope those workarounds will help someone, but if someone had a *real* solution to it, that would be great.

Thanx! For me — prototyping — to block editing with password is enough (for now).

Ai file turned into DXF doesnt transfer correctly when opened in CAM software.

Hi please can anyone help. I am trying to create a DXF which can be used with CAM software. The file looks fine in Ai and even CAD software but loses all definition, turning into a black blob, when opened in CAM software. There are shapes within the outline which need cutting out and the DXF file shows intersections where these are. Are these intersections part of the problem? Thank you very much!

Think I might have just fingered it out on my own!

Files turn into alias. Original file vanished

We are experiencing a scary problem on some of our machines. We are using intel macs with 10.6.7.
They were using InDesign CS5 (7.0.3) at the time of the problem. Both machines have been updated to 7.0.4 and have not had the problem since.
However this has been a periodic error the whole time, so its not easy to replicate it...
This problem is as follows.
During working in InDesign it quits unexpectedly and we need to open it again.
When we locate the file (on a windows server connected with smb) it has turned into a shortcut or alias witch points to nothing.
The original file is nowhere to be found. Also, the file has been labeled with the red label from OSX...
We managed to get the log from one of these incidents:

The machinename has been altered. The error occurred 13:04:09.
So far I have not been able to find anyone else with the same error. And in was not mentioned as a fix in the 7.0.4 update we ran.
At this point we do not know when we will loose the next file, and thats not a fun situation...
Has anyone else heard of this error?
At this point even someone else with the problem but no solution would be a comfort..
Thanks

How to advoid Pdf attached files turning into winmail.dat file causing incovinience opening them? And why does the phone automatically changes the file???

The first time i opened the mail, the mail loaded the attactment as pdf file and i was able to open it without any problems. But then when i tried to open it again, i watched the phone automatically turned the pdf file into winmail.dat without any of my control. Since then, i werent able to open the file anymore! And this was lucky that i was able to see it as pdf file - all other attachments i have recieved since using my new ip6 all turn into winmail.dat
this is really incovinient and frustrating for work. i cant believe i cannot just open a pdf file as a pdf file on my ip6 in the emails i recieve. I was on ip4 before this and never have anything like this happened.
Solution needed asap please.
Thankyou!

Hi Jnkm,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your new iPhone 6. If you are getting a winmail.dat file instead of a PDF, you may want to see if it may be the issue noted in the following article:
