Can't generate Waveform in video - worked for a while then Stopped!

Importing mpg video had been working fine. I imported several, cleaned up the sound, then saved in flv format - no problems. Then suddenly it stopped. I still get the video, but no waveform - no audio.
Called tech support, wasted 2 hours with someone who didn't know anything other than reinstalling the software. Reinstalled, updated, still no good.
I vaguely remember that when I initially installed the 30-day trial version of CS4, the mpg audio (from Handycam) didn't work. Then when I purchased, I downloaded an update from Adobe that added support for other codecs. That's when it started working.
Any ideas on what updates/codecs that would be?
And now the media encoder drops the audio too, from the mpg's when converted to flv. that's why i'm thinking it's a simple codec issue but I'm not getting anywhere.

Hi greer,
Right around that time this morning we had a problem with some of our browser servers that may have caused the issues you saw. Can you give us some details about what time you were testing, what url(s) you were testing, and which browsers you were testing?
Did you see any of your screenshots succeed, or were they all failing?
Regardless, we restored the servers fairly quickly and got everything working, is everything working ok for you now?
Thanks,
Mark

Photostream works for a while, then stops and won't upload to iCloud anymore. Rebooting the phone resolves the issue. Anyone know why?

I have an iPhone 4S. Photo stream works for a while but then it will just stop and not upload any photos to iCloud. Rebooting the phone resolves the problem. This happens very often and is frustrating for something that should just work. Once they get uploaded, they are downloaded to other devices without a problem.
Any idea what could be going wrong with it? I hate taking pictures of stuff that I need on my other devices not knowing if they're going to make it there or not.
Thanks!

Hey Allistah,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like Photo Stream works but stops and a restart fixes it. A frustrating situation for sure. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

Strange issues with W7 shared Laserjet 1020 to XP machine - works for a while then stops

I have a principal with a Windows 7 machine and a Laserjet 1020 printer. The assistant Principal (XP machine) wants to print to his printer.
When the printer is shared - it will work for a day or two then it will stop responding. The print jobs from the W7 machine will just dissapear. They won't even go in the print que. Stopping and re-starting the print spooler doesn't help, power down of the printer doesn't help. The ONLY fix seems to be to delete the printer and re-install. HUGE pain!!!
I have made sure bi-directional is UNCHECKED and it still has these issues.
I re-installed the printer and didn't share it and it has now worked flawlessly for over a week.
But I really need this share to work! HELP!!! I've never seen a problem like this before!

Printer works for a while, then stops

I have an HP Photosmart D5460 printer which I bought on Black Friday that operates on a USB port. I was on here before because I couldn't get the printer to print anything. At that time, it needed a high speed USB driver. I did a search for one downloaded it on my computer, and then put in the installer cd for the printer to reinstall it.
After that, it printed fine. But now, it's not working. It's telling me that there is no printer installed. I don't know how many times I've installed that printer. It also acts like I didn't even install the USB driver.
The type of Windows version I use is Windows Vista.

At present I have no power to the Gen 7, so need to get some power to it I think. I pressed the buttons as you suggested, but nothing is showing up at this point. Thank you for your response as the more I can rule out before I take it back the better I think.

I boug ht an ipod touch it worked for a while then it went in to dfu mode and said to plug in to itunes and i did but that didnt do anything and it wouldnt show up on itunes ethier

i bought an ipod touch it worked for a while then it went in to dfu mode and said to plug in to itunes and i did but that didnt do anything and it wouldnt show up on itunes ethier plz help

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Airport express works for 1 minute then stops

I came back from vacation. restarted my mac mini + airport express + ...
Internet worked for 1 minute then stopped. I unplugged cable modem + airport. Restarted them. Internet worked for 1 minute the stopped. After it stopped working the light on the airport express stayed green. Computer was still connected with a strong signal.
I plugged the ethernet cable into mac and internet worked fine without issue.
I did a hard reset of airport express and had same issue as above.
Is my airport express shot? Why does it only work for 1 minute or so and then stop?

After waiting a few days, plugged in airport to try one more time and it now works fine. Not sure what the problem was, but it has had no issues since letting it stay unplugged for a few days.

AE works for a bit, then stops. I unplug it, and the cycle starts again...

I have an Airport Express connected to my main Apple Base Station via WDS. An older iMac is connected to the Airport Express via ethernet. I have an iBook which I connect wirelessly with. Everything (network, internet, etc.) has worked flawlessly forever until recent probelm with the Airport Express. It will work for a while and then it stops. The green light is still on but no internet connectiion and no network. If I check using the Airport Admin tool, the Base Station is still there but the Airport Express is no longer listed. If I unplug the Airport Express and replug it in, it powers up and everything is fine for a while, but then it drops off again. I have tried both a hard and soft reset.
Recently upgraded OS X 10.4.4. Could that be related?
Airport Express and Airport Base Station Mac OS X (10.4.4)

It sounds like interference or a weak signal. Try going into Airport Admin Utility and enabling Interference Robustness (under "Wireless Options...") on both the AEBS and AX.

Exchange Email Syncs for a while then stops

So my iphone 3G (2.1) will synch my email from the company exchange server just fine for a day or two then for no reason (that I can tell) stops. It goes into an endless connecting to server state and never gets past it. If I fully restore the phone, wiping the account clean, starting over it will validate the account, start synching mail, work for a while (a day or just a few hours) and then stop. I have the phone set for manual fetch. Any ideas?

Safari will work for a while, then slows to "Spinning Ball of Death" & typing jumps, erases & may not space

I have a 10.5.8 Macbook, Leopard & almost exclusively use Safari. Got it in November of 2008. (Trackpad Clicker has not worked for ages. I have to use a mouse.)
Also, just recently, when using the keyboard to type, I may lose most if not all that I just typed, sometimes it doesn't space or move down more than to next line & often when I hit a symbol key, the cursor may end up anywhere.
For ages it has been doing what is stated in Subject/Question.
I can use it for a while, frequently clear Safari Cache. (Can't seem to clear Home->Library->Cache anymore. Much in there, but I fear that with the problems that I have had with this Mac since the first year that I will remove something that is necessary & really shouldn't be in that Cache. I did do it a few times way back, but it won't even let me move things to trash anymore.
I know that I need a new Macbook, but I can't afford one & really need larger than a 13" screen, as I have 3 different eye problems. My friend got a deal on a "bells & whistles" Toshiba 17" laptop during "Black Friday" for something over $400. Something comparable in a Macbook would be ~$2,800-2,900 plus tax!!! Ridiculous. I got a Mac to not have to deal with viruses & the like & to have one like my musician friend who needed direction with a computer & wanted a Macbook because of the "Garage Band". I bought mine ~3months after he bought his & wouldn't you know, mine is a Leopard & his a Tiger AND they had upgraded "Garage Band" on mine... so, nothing in common.
I have had nothing but trouble with my macbook since 1 year after I got it. As I was trashing what should have been "unsaved" & "saved" downloads, I happened to have my iPhoto open & near the end, I walked by to see all of my photos & documents disappearing to trash. Nothing has been the same since. The "Genius" was rude & no one could tell me what went wrong or fix my problem. I had over 8,000 items that were no longer in folders or albums or anything. All that was done was to move them from my trash to desktop to ONE folder for which I was left to deal. (Possibly go back to that time in my Time Machine??? But don't really know how to "pick out" all that was good, leave out the "mess" & still have all the new that I have done in the past 2.5 years??)
I had paid for 1 year of classes AND for the 3 year coverage & APPLE CARE. I was on the phone with those guys for hours & hours & months on end to NO avail. I am not a "happy camper". I think that they owe me a new one, even after all this time. My intent was to write them a very long detailed letter, but lightening has struck my house & fried all my components EXCEPT this "P.O.S", which would have been paid for by the Insurance company... Argh. And then my freezer went out & the new one was "DOA" & I have been fighting them & my dog has been lame for a year now, & I am a non-practicing vet, because of debilitating Depression. It has been over 10 months & my roof & chimney are still not repaired. I know... "TMI", but I guess I am venting to let you know why I haven't addressed Apple about my "P.O.S" macbook.
Any help wrt new WARNING message,(previous question), Safari winding down every time after some use, why my keyboard is going nutso & what to do about all the 1000's of files that are in my Macbook, (I thought that we moved most of them to an external HD, My Book. I have one for the Time Machine back up & one for "Storage". But, alas, it seems that most are still in my macbook & there is very little memory & that may well be a big part of my problem.)
Thanks for bearing with this "newbie on here".
I realize now, that this probably should have been at least 3 questions or more, sorry. If I have to redo, I will.
Just wrote a separate one regarding the "WARNING-SUSPECTED PHISHING SITE, every time I click on a new website on Safari.
Thanks to any & all. (Forgive me, if I don't know all the ettiquette & rules of this site. (Be kind & guide me.)

Remote works for a while, then fails to connect

I upgraded my first-gen iPhone to software v2.0, and installed the Remote app. It connects to iTunes on my Mac and it works fine, for a while.
Then an hour or so later, when I launch the Remote app again, it gives me the "Could not find library" error.
The only way to fix this is to close & restart iTunes on my Mac.
Rebooting the iPhone doesn't help. I've got the firewall disabled on my Mac. And the Mac is set to never go to sleep.
The computer is a Mac mini running OS X 10.4.11, with the latest version of iTunes (currently 7.7.1).
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Anthony DiSante

...aaaaand I've now upgraded from 10.5.1 to 10.5.4; that also didn't fix the problem.
I've discovered that disabling & re-enabling the computer's network connection does fix the problem. So as a workaround, I've created 2 new "Locations" in my Mac's network preferences, one called "Online" and the other "Offline", in the latter of which I've just disabled all the network adapters. I then created the following script (which I named togglenet.sh):
#!/bin/sh
scselect Offline
sleep 5
scselect Online
So I can execute that by SSHing from my iPhone to my Mac. Or I might install Apache on my Mac so I can make a CGI script out of it, so I'd just need to hit the page using Safari to run it.
So, at least there is a workaround; but I REALLY hope Apple just fixes this friggin' bug.

Photobooth works for one second, then stops.

It used to work. Like all the time.
I'm using a Logitech camera, which works fine in Skype and iChat. But when I open Photobooth, the camera turns on, works for a period of one second, then it stops. If Photobooth is open but behind another program, when I switch back to Photobooth I get a quick one second refresh of the image before it freezes up again.
When I Apple-T, I get the 3-2-1 countdown, then it takes a picture of the frozen image and adds it to the previous photos.
The camera is plugged into a USB 2.0 card I installed last year. Everything else on the card is working. I've even switched ports around, and everything is working (which makes sense, because the camera works in Skype and iChat.)
I was hoping to use the video function to record some voiceover stuff and then transfer the audio into iMovie.

I would try Repair Permissions.
This is done with Disk Utility found in Applications/Utilities using the First AID tab.
If that does not work I would Reset the PRAM
Hold down AppleALT+PR keys on restart until you have three start up bongs.
If that does not work I would download and install the Combo Installer of the OS level you are up to.

My new WRE54G works for a bit then stops

Firstly I cannot begin to complain enough about what a faff this thing was to set up.
The supplied disk just "failed" to do a site survey every time i ran the setup.
In the end, i managed to get in through ethernet straight into my laptop. and configure it to my wireless router settings . . .
it was running WPA which i set it all up for, and success!
Two blue lights signal was boosted, everything was working great . . . for about 15 mins. then the link LED started flashing RED and i could no longer connect to the device on my wireless network!
Annoying, i decided (after many restarts - where it would work for a few mins then drop off again)
Maybe it's because i'm using WPA network? so changed the settings in all my wireless devices to WEP then changed the settings on the expander, then on my router, it connected fine, then again after around 15 mins, red light flashing again!
No booster working !!!
Can anyone suggest what the problem might be before i send this thing back to the shop,

What is the Model no of the router..?
Check the Wireless Channel on the router and the WRE...they should be identical.If they are same then,try changing the Channel to 11 on router and WRE..Also Change the Security Mode to WEP on both.

Can't generate Waveform in video - worked for a while then Stopped!
