Can't get audio to sound after adding to video

Using Quicktime Pro 7.6.2. I followed the "very simple" instructions:
1. Opened audio file, Select All, Copy
2. Open video file(Quicktime movie with no audio) and selected Edit/Add to Movie and saved as self-contained.
I see the sound layer there, but in the saved file's movie properties, there is no checkbox and there is no way to "check" it. What am I doing wrong? I just want to add an mp3 as a soundtrack to the movie and then send it to a friend.

I've just spent a while trying to figure this out ...
I used this feature (monitoring audio on import) all the time in previous versions of iMovie ...
Kind of essential I think ...
Now we have a new 'feature' in iMovie where you can't monitor audio during import.
Wouldn't it be nice if Apple documented this somewhere (maybe on iMovie Help ...).
I understand about hi-speed import from other (non DV) formats ...
So why not just let the user hit the 'mute' button if they don't want to listen to audio on import ?
Pretty simple - rather than having this somewhat arbitrary rule imposed on iMovie users ?
The only way to monitor audio during import is to plug headphones into the camera itself.
Which means we are wearing a thing with a wire attached - making the BT headset capability of the Mac somewhat redundant.
Oh well ... one step forward, one step back.

  • Can't get around this error after adding second dataset...A scope is required for all aggregates used outside of a data region unless the report contains exactly one dataset

    I added a dataset to an existing report and broke an aggregation.  In the old (i.e. single dataset) report, this expression below worked fine.  I wanted to get a distinct count of the vst_ext_id field when my educated field was like "VTE1*"
    = CountDistinct(IIF(Fields!educated.Value like "VTE1*", Fields!vst_ext_id.Value, Nothing))
    After adding a new dataset, this no longer works and I get the error " A scope is required for all aggregates used outside of a data region unless the report contains exactly one dataset".  Having done some research online, I found that I
    needed to specify my dataset explicitly and I thought this new expression might work, but still no success...
    = CountDistinct(IIF(Fields!educated.Value,"DataSet1" like "VTE12*", Fields!vst_ext_id.Value,"DataSet1", Nothing))
    Am I missing something?  Based on online responses, this explicit dataset naming convention seems to help most people, but it isn't working for me. 
    Thanks in advance!
    Brian

    I found the answer.  Apparently, my expression syntax was off.  This expression does the trick...
    = CountDistinct(IIF(Fields!educated.Value like "VTE12*", Fields!vst_ext_id.Value,Nothing),"DataSet1")
    I just happened upon this particular syntax searching online.  I was trying to specify the dataset name after each .value, but I never got that to work.   This is the only time I have found this particular syntax online. 

  • How can I get audio to play from my TV when using hdmi cable?  Video looks great, just no sound.

    How can I get audio to play from my TV when using hdmi cable?  Video looks great, just no sound.
    I've tried plugging the hdmi into the TV directly and the receiver.
    I get video every time.  HBO to Go , Xfinity, ABC, Youtube, etc...
    just no audio.  Any suggestions? 
    I've tried starting the apps then plugging in the hdmi cable.
    I never tried this before I upgraded to IOS 5.

    Claudiamil-
    I had not tried it with mine since upgrading to iOS 5, so I just did.  I'm using a small Vizio HDTV.  I did not try YouTube, but did try several videos and musical numbers.  In all cases there was sound, including stereo when the source had it.
    I assume you are getting sound from the iPad when the adapter is not connected, so the volume is not turned down.  Dah*veed's suggestion to reset may be what you need.

  • On my iPhone 4 I can play music through the speaker or headphones, but I can not get audio in phone mode, I can't hear anything nor can anyone hear me! Help. Please.

    On my iPhone 4 I can play music through the speaker or headphones, but I can not get audio in phone mode! I can hear anything through the ear piece or via a headphone. Nor can people hear me when I call. I must be doing something wrong, but what?

    Hello Angela,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with sound on your iPhone.  I recommend the following steps for an issue like this:
    Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
    Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
    If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
    Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
    If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
    If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
    Try turning off Bluetooth.
    If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, followthese troubleshooting steps.
    Restart the iPhone.
    If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
    If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, please contact Apple Support.

  • I can't get imovie to open after trying to shift the image to my TV by clicking fn F3.  If I hold the mouse on the imovie icon for a few seconds the imovie window opens but if I click anywhere on the window it disappears

    I can't get imovie to open after trying to shift the image from my macbook pro to the tv screen like I have done many times before.  If I double click on the imovie icon, imovie doesn't open, but the strip across the top shows iMovie, file, edit , clip, view, text share window help tabs across the top.  The iMovie window will appear if I click on the iMovie icon on the dock for a few seconds, or if I do control F3 at the same time, but when I click on the window it disappears.  When I hover the mouse over the iMovie window that appears the window has a blue border around it.  when I move the mouse outside the iMovie window the blue border goes away.  If I sweep 4 fingers from the top of the screen down, the screen dims a little but the iMovie window doesn't appear. If I click play under the view tab I can hear audio, but still no iMovie window.  It's as if the window is being blocked by the desk top somehow.

  • Can't get audio to work on my Panasonic Plasma smart TV when I connect a Toslink optical mini to Toslink optical digital to my mid 2009 MacBook pro?

    My MAc book pro 5.5 is mid 2009, Processor speed 2.26 GHZ MacOS X VERSION 10.68 Leopard. My Tv is a Panasonic Plasma smart TV TC-P50ST60. I ordered from Amazon a Toslink optical mini to Toslink optical digital cable meant for Macbook pro 2009 forward. I changed the settings on both TV and Mac but I still can't get audio to work on TV. I believe my Mac can't see the audio output from the TV. Any advice with step by step instructions on how to fix it? could it be they sent me defective cables? Thank You for your help.

    When I spoke with Apple I made sure I told them that my Macbook Pro was Mid 2009 and he ensured me again that those to cords will work. I realize that with the newer models it does put through both sound and audio but because of my model I don't think it does obviously because I have played with both Sound on my computer and Sound on the TV and nothing works. Sometime Apple can be good but man some people lol he even told me he verified my computer model on the computer and that's what came up.
    So new question would be what kind of cable would I be looking for to get audio? Anyone before I call back to Apple and see what they say hahah

    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off".

  • In chrome I'm getting green double underline hyperlinks to ads.  How can I get rid of this without adding more junk to the computer?

    I have both safari and chrome, because I'm used to chrome.  The only extension I have is Google docs.  I started getting green double underline hyperlinks to ads.  How can I get rid of this without adding more junk to the computer?  People suggest programs to do it, but how do I know they won't make it worse?
    Is someone from Apple here and can answer?
    Thanks!

    You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
    Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Step 1
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
    Step 2
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the Internet criminal behind VSearch has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • TS4002 How can I get a notification sound when an email arrives?

    I am using Safari and icloud to manage and check emial. I am not receiving a notification sound. How can I get an audiable sound to alret me?

    Thank you. I meant new mail alert sound, but I didn't word it right   I just want to know when  new mail comes in, but its not happening. I have done different methods, including the one you suggest, but it will alert sometimes and most of the times it doesn't. For a while when I got my phone (Iphone4) and downloaded IOS6 it worked. It stopped working when I had to reset my phone to factory settings a week ago.
    IOS has been updated and I have the latest software,. but it will not alert me each time I get mail. In few occassions I get the Ding of new mail, but for 15 mails I get maybe 2.
    Thanks for replying to my question

  • I have an hp office jet 4500 and os maverick 10.9.4 and I can't get it to print after last upgrade, multiple malfunctions and error, help?

    I have an hp office jet 4500 and os maverick 10.9.4 and I can’t get it to print after last upgrade, multiple malfunctions and error, help? I have tried deleting and resetting printer and re-installing update 6 times. Last update attempt showed none available??? I can’t load the software directly from HP because their only option is to use the software update option on the mac....frustrated!!! Help!!
    I get blank pages that just run through the printer and a stats window that just 33% complete and goes no further.

    I am going on the guess that an old driver is still installed...
    Use Finder Go > go to folder, and go to /Library/Printers and delete the HP folder(s).
    Reset the Printing System:
    OS X Mavericks: Reset the printing system
    Now, Add the printer in Print & Scan prefs.

    Can you get your photos back after the iphone does a restore?

    Actually, wrong.
    The tech support people can help with Playbook purchased apps. If you've called and they said they cannot, you were lied to.
    Even in the link you posted, in #10, it states clearly "App Refund related matters are handled by BlackBerry Customer Care." That, my friend is accessed by the support number. Again, if you were told otherwise, you should inform them of such or ask for a manage/supervisor.
    And, you don't have a "Partner ID" because you are not a "Partner". The section you're referring to applies to mobile providers, which are the Partners.
    Good luck.
