Audio tracks suddenly missing from capture... need help!

Hi! I have been capturing video (with audio) successfully and routinely for months now. Suddenly, though, when I capture video... from the same device, with the same preset... the clips have only 1 Video track, and no Audio tracks. My camera is still recording audio (and I still hear it during the capture), but the audio tracks just aren't there in the resultant clip. It seems to me like FCE has just decided not to capture audio, as if to say "pffft... we don't need that." But why this happened is beyond me!
Even within this same project, I have other clips captured with audio just fine. I didn't even realize it was an option NOT to capture audio. There aren't any settings to that effect in the Capture window... i.e. there's nothing to turn OFF, so I don't know how to turn it back ON! HELP! How do I get audio back on my captured clips? Is there a way to toggle this? How can I possibly be getting video without audio when the preset has already been working for this device?
Things seemed to change once I started using the Voice Over tool. After that, none of my captured clips have audio. Something I did on or around that time changed FCE internally. I combed through the manual but didn't see any leads. They assume if you have the right preset, it'll just work. No mention of disabling audio.
Please help, because I'm just about ready to throw my Mac throw the wall. I even tried reinstalling FCE, just to get it back to the previous state, but it didn't help.
P.S. I also haven't changed anything on my camera that would affect audio. I feel this is just a setting somewhere in FCE that I can't find and don't even know where to look for it...
Thanks in advance!!

Hi. Where should I look for them? I haven't had much success finding things on my own, so please spell it out for me.
I just find this so odd... it would be one thing for the tracks to be silent or garbled, then I would think this was a cable issue or the camera. But I can't even imagine why the audio tracks would just not be there. If I saw a preference for "Video Only Capture" somewhere, it would make sense.
Anyway, thanks. Please tell me where there's a prefs file, and I'll roast it.

Ahh!! Why do I only have 4 audio tracks to choose from??

I only have 4 audio tracks to choose from. How can I make more audio tracks? I only have the 4 in the enviornment, do I need more?
Thanks for any input

I only have 4 audio tracks to choose from.
I only have the 4 in the enviornment, do I need more?
Yes. If you want 32 tracks, your environment should have 32 audio objects.
How can I make more audio tracks?
There is a short cut to creating the audio objects in the environment - use the Tracks -> Create Multiple feature - Logic will ask you how many tracks to add, and will create them and add them to the environment and arrange accordingly.

The Camera app is suddenly missing from my iPhone, how do I get it back?

My camera app is suddenly missing from my phone.. how do I get it back or find it? it's not in any 'folders' -- Same with my Safari app-- Not sure if my 2 yr old deleted it? I didn't think those were deletable apps.

Default apps are part of the iOS and cannot be deleted. Search all home screens and all folders and/or search for it with Spotlight, that will tell you what folder it's in.
Also check Settings > General > Restrictions to see if it has been restricted.
If not found, Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout.

Hey Hisheroisgonex,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
If the track is no longer in your iTunes Library, you can re-download using the information in this article:

Audio suddenly missing from an unfinished slide show...???

I am in the process of making my first video slide show in Photoshop CS6. I get to the end and lose my audio. I must have accidently turned something off. The sound was there the entire time I was rearranging and spacing the pictures to the songs. now the audio is off???? I see the audio layer, the mute buttons are not on, I have restarted Photoshop and the computer, the speakers are on....????? I have video clips with sound in this slide show. when pulled up independently of the slide show, they also no longer have sound.
This is the third (and last) time I have posted this question. I am not only frustrated with my program, I am frustrated with this website. Each time after posting my question I see my question for a brief second and then the website automatically redirects to the sign in screen (which I have to re sign in?) This is all very frustrating when all I wanted was a phone number to call someone about this.
What am I doing wrong?

We can't know. Your info is at best vague. With no system info, no details about your audio, no screenshots etc. simply nobody can help you plus doing so would yield best results in the right forum in the first place - the one for PS.

How do you export 4 discrete mono audio tracks with video from Adobe Premiere Pro 4/Adobe Encoder?

I've posted this question in different terms a few times and have not had an answer. I can't find the answer on the Premiere Pro support site either (which makes me think that a simple solution doesn't exist)
We use adobe premiere pro 4. We capture DVCAM tapes with 4 discrete audio channels. When we export the video using adobe encoder, the result is stereo tracks with the discrete audio channels mixed together which is completly useless to us. When I select Mono for the output settings, two channels of audio are mixed into one audio channel. Also useless.
When capturing the clip, we always use the mono timeline and modify the clips to mono. We can edit the discrete audio channels but when we export the video, the audio is mixed down.
this is the problem. Each of our 4 audio channels contain a different language of dialogue. When exported, these 4 get mixed down to 2 mixed channels blending of course the language.
Can Premiere Pro 4 export discrete mono audio channels? How do you do it?
Does version 6 have the ability to export 4 discrete mono channels?

Hi Steve,
Important info is missing from your post - what format are you wanting to export to, and for what purpose? We need to know how the exported file is intended to be used. Who's going to view it, using what gear? Is it for another editor to work with? End user viewing?
Thanks

Are my source track indicators missing from my trial version?

I am new to this and have the trial version of Premiere Pro CS4. The first day everything was great and was easy to learn. When the time came to drag my clip from the source monitor to the timeline, the lines for the timeline are present, but the words video track 1 etc. are missing. For the last 14 days, I have been trying to locate the source track indicators. I watched the video lessons, read the tuturials, tried to add new tracks ~ nothing works. Customer Service can't help me and tech support won't because I don't have a plan with them. I don't know what else to do. Can anyone help me?

Ok....
I tried to ignore all this but since this seems to be an ongoing contention with some, I need to address the issue. I did not write my question or information blindly. I did take the time to look at the pdf version in the Premiere Pro Help and Support so I would use the proper terms. When dealing with a new product, if what you are expecting to see is not there, it is very confusing. In Chapter 8 pg. 130 it states: "A single timeline panel appears in a frame in the lower central portion of the screen when you first launch Adobe Premiere Pro. It did not in my case. Looking at the diagram, I realized that it was not the same as what I was seeing and I described exactly what was missing to the forum. On the diagram located on Pg. 131, letter (F) points to the video and audio tracks. Pg. 132 the letter (F) corresponds with the name "source track indicators". I explained exactly what happened that I could not drag my clip from the "source monitor." to the "timeline." Sometimes, products are not always downloaded completely, and before I spent anymore time looking for something that's not there, (after 14 days) I came to the forum of which I was directed by tech support. After reading what I originally wrote, I explained to this forum exactly what was happening to me step by step and these were the names associated with my problem. So, at least I made an attempt (which I still don't understand what was wrong with my question) to try to use the correct terms so that I wouldn't waste anyones time. In all fairness, I think you should review some of the responses about things I didn't ask, and something about the word "clip" that seemed to bother someone. Well, that's exactly what I ment to say that I couldn't drag the clip from the source monitor. That term was fine when the video instructor used it. So, now you know where I got my terms from to try to ask a question. I wasn't irresponsible, I tried to find the answer and to get help from customer service and tech support for 14 days before I asked on here. I did the best that I could. Glenn didn't have a problem understanding what I was talking about or providing the proper solution. He also wasn't condescending... he was encouraging ~ which is what a forum should be.

Audio acting up in Premiere Pro | Need Help ASAP

Okay, I need help ASAP because this has been a serious issue for me.
So my source video (an interview) is on PR's timeline. I start playing it and it's working fine, but all of a sudden, the audio skips back to the beginning of the interview, then about 10 seconds later, it gets back on track. I checked the original video that I imported it from and it's all fine. I even reimported the file, but the problem persists.

Okay, problem solved. I took the working source video, took the audio out and put it in there.

Audio Tracking Suddenly Off

I'm experiencing a wierdness for the first time in iMovie. I am doing a final edit on a movie and noticing that my audio track has shifted slightly, enough to be noticeable. This was not happening a few weeks ago when I finished my last movie.
I am making a movie from three different cameras' imported clips, and moving from camera to camera, and then extending the detached audio from the camera that sounds the best, over-voicing whichever clip I'm not using audio from.
At first I thought I had inadvertently moved the detached audio clips, but upon some experimenting involving deleting and re-detatching and not even extending the audio, but turning on the clip volume again to play both, the detached audio is clearly not synced to the clip it came from.
Any ideas what could cause this to occur, and how to fix it?
Has there been an iMovie update in the last week that is causing problems?

Experiencing problems with audio in the projects also. Volume goes suddenly up or down in the middle of the clip.
Any help?
Thanks and good luck

No audio tracks when sending from Final Cut?

Hi,
I'm working with a 90 minute edited sequence in final cut that I've nested in another sequence to create a continuous video with a stereo audio track. When I send it to soundtrack (multitrack project) for mixing, the video is there but the audio tracks are blank.
Does any one know why this is happening or have suggestions as to what I might do differently?
Thanks in advance.

I ended up exporting the sequence inside my nested sequence and that worked as it should.
But all of my audio tracks were given their own track in Soundtrack which wasn't what I wanted. Finally I exported my nested sequence "for soundtrack" and applied the effects and filters to the resulting file's audio tracks and saved it. I then imported the file back into FCP, put it in a sequence and made any adjustments that I needed before exporting it with compressor.
I don't know if this applies to what you need to do but I hope it's helpful.

Losing Audio Tracks When importing from 5.1 to 3

I was capturing video on one of the new intel imacs in FCP 5.1. Afterwards I'm importing the files into a project on my powerbook g4 with FCP 3. For some reason I only get 1 audio track when I import the files.
The files on my imac all say 1V and 2A and have the two separate audio tracks. But when I import them on my laptop I get only 1V and 1A. I've tried everything I can think of and changed all the settings I can but can't figure this one out. Can anybody help me?

This has been posted by others in the past, there seems to be changes in FCP 5 and/or QuickTime that make its media not fully-readable by earlier revs of FCP.
I would recapture in FCP 3.

Mac OS Mountain Lion 10.8.3 suddenly became extremely slow, need help!

Hi everybody!
I need help with my Mac OS Mountain Lion.
Was working fine with it since it got released, but yesterday suddenly it became exteremely slow. It literally thinks for 20 minutes on any operation I'm trying to do, showing me the loading spin icon. Screen freezes, everything is not responsive at all and I just have to wait for ages till something is moved a bit and then it thinks again.
I don't see anything in particular in the logs. CPU load is low, memory using is low, all temperatures are fine. I even cleaned up the stuff with CleanMyMac app, didn't help.
Checked the hard drive with Disk Utility - didn't help either.
Please help, I'm hopeless and out of ideas what's wrong with it.
Thanks

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing, regardless of SMART status or anything else.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
Boot into Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.
Otherwise, take the steps below when you notice the problem.
Step 1
Launch the Activity Monitor application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Activity Monitor in the icon grid.
Select the CPU tab of the Activity Monitor window.
Select All Processes from the menu in the toolbar, if not already selected.
Click the heading of the % CPU column in the process table to sort the entries by CPU usage. You may have to click it twice to get the highest value at the top. What is it, and what is the process? Also post the values for % User, % System, and % Idle at the bottom of the window.
Select the System Memory tab. What values are shown in the bottom part of the window for Page outs and Swap used?
Next, select the Disk Activity tab. Post the approximate values shown for Reads in/sec and Writes out/sec (not Reads in and Writes out.)
Step 2
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

I just tried to copy a folder to a pen drive from my mac. It transferred fine. I then ejected the pen drive then pulled it out. When I pulled it out it said it had not ejected correctly despite me just Doing this. The folder is now missing from both! Help

I just copied a folder from my desktop to my pen drive. It transferred fine. I then ejected the pen drive then pulled it out. On doing so it said it had not been ejected properly!!!!! The folder is now missing from my computer and the pen drive. Pulling my hair out please help!

When youi say Eject, the RAM copy of the Directory is written back to the drive. On a pen drive, this can take several seconds.
If you get too excited and don't wait those few seconds, the directory write will be incomplete, and the drive will lose its integrity or lose files or both.

Uploading from iPhone - need help

When I attempt to upload a photo from my iPhone to my Web Gallery, I get the following error message on the iPhone:
"None of your .Mac accounts have been configured for posting from mobile devices. You must first enable this feature on the .Mac website"
Any idea how I "enable this feature" as I can't seem to find it anywhere on my .Mac homepage or account info, etc.
Thanks.

It's STILL driving me nuts.
Why can't Apple just make it 'Apple-like?' Where is a set of instructions on how to do this?
This is a new far-out concept they're adding here, I want to use it like a Flickr set amongst my iPhone totin' friends, so we can all just send some fun photos up in the cloud, and look at it. This is clearly something we all seem to need help with for the set-up...
AND YET...
Simple question that my iPhone prompts me to ask: Where do I tell my .Mac account that I want my Web Gallery to work with my iPhone?
No sign of it on my 'homepage' on .mac, no explaination in iPhoto 08 prefs or help, no explaination ANYWHERE. Searching is NOT helpful - very poor 'help' page on this topic.
It's not working for me, and I had this button activated on my iPhone yesterday, and an iPhoto Web Gallery for the last 4 hours...
It's just not very clear, Apple. Get it together, please. The only mention of this on my .mac "logged-in" screen is on a descriptive ad for iLife 08 and .Mac.
Well, give me the respect of noticing I've already bought it all.
