Can't preview sound files

I can't audition sound files in the little preview application. It's not grey, the button changes from play to stop, but the sound file won't play. It only plays if I drop it on the time line. Got any suggestions?

So glad it helped you! I know what you mean about Adobe.
Take Care!

Can't preview RAW files in Bridge CC, administrator issue?

Can't preview RAW files in Bridge CC.
When i try to upate Bridge, it says:
Bridge is unable to check for updates, cause it can't connect to the internet or user is logged in as a non-administrative user.
So then i have to log in as a administrative user to the Bridge...and update..
Can't it be done easier???
I must also say i have also Bridge CS6 installed on pc and there everything is working fine.
Thx.

1/ Adobe Bridge should be possible to open without administrator issue.
By default it does, something seems wrong with your install
2/the images DO appear first for 2 or 3 seconds , then it turns to a RAW file icon.
Again indicating a wrong install, you see the embedded jpeg previews briefly but then the Raw thumbs should be build. When you see the generic Raw icon this means you don't have the correct version of the ACR plug in installed to match your camera or no converter at all.
Try this page:

3/i only succeed in openening Bridge descently , so with ableing to see RAW files , WHEN i go to c:/progamfiles/Adobe/AdobeBridhecc/Bridge.exe
When, If i copy the exe file for opening Bridge CC and i put it on the Desktop, it DOES NOT Preview the RAW files.
Here you have lost me. As a Mac user I'm afraid I don't know nor understand anything about .exe, I download the .dmg file for an application which then automatically opens and I just click on the install icon, provide admin password and serial number once and then start using it without bothering about install ever again

Nautilus doesn't preview sound files

Hi everyone.
Why "preview sound files" isn't working in Gnome 2.12.2? Do you know if I need some add-on?
Thanks in advance.

First make sure esd is installed
pacman -S esd
, and make sure esd is running on startup ( Desktop -> Preferences -> Multimedia system selector (if it doesn't exist look for something with multimedia or sound, i have Gnome 2.14 and those things have changed AFAIK) -> Check "turn on sound"
now install mpg321
pacman -S mpg321
Now logout/login (or reboot) and it should work

Can we add Sound files to Catalyst???

quite simply can we add sound files to our catalyst projects?
I would like to have a sound effect on rollover to certain part of the scene
and I don't know if I am missing it but I don't see anywhere to add that functionality.

Thanks for the reply
and sorry for the Noob question
but does that mean that sound is completely out of the question at this point?
or is it something that a flex scripter can add with Flash Builder?
I know a bit of Flash and a very little AS3
but if Catalyst shapes into what it looks like it might
it seems like I maybe should shift my energies over to Fb
please let me know if sound is possible with some back-end action.

Can't preview midi files?

Hi
When I was on OS X 10.6.8 I could just preview a midi file for just selecting it and tap the space bar, as we do for preview a music, an image or a document.
But now I upgrade to Mavericks 10.9.4 and I can't preview midi files anymore.
When I tap the space bar it only shows the name, size of file and last time it was modified, but it won't play the midi file.
Someone knows how to resolve this?

How can I preview video files in quicktime

How can I preview video files in quicktime by click on the space bar like i use to with leopard?
I like to pull up all of my video files and arrowing down and hitting the space bar and previewing them.
I cannot do that with all of my video files just some of the video files are able to be previewed.
Some of the files show a thumb of the video and some just show the quicktime logo are other logos
I am running the latest Lion
Thanks.

You need to investigate BLOB = Binary Large Objects.
Start with Google where you will find plenty of info to start with.
Next time, you'd better mentioned the OS and Oracle version (4 digits) that you are using.
HTH,
Thierry
Isn't it what you already asked?

I can't preview RAW files in Bridge CS5 or open them in Camera Raw

I've been using Photoshop CS5, Bridge and Camera Raw 6.7 with no problems whatsoever. I recently upgraded the OS on my MacBook Pro to 10.8.5 and can no longer preview RAW files in Bridge, or open them in Camera Raw.
I've downloaded the Adobe DNG converter, but would much prefer to using my existing workflow if possible.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for any help!

Adobe doesn't support CS5, an when I spoke to Apple, I was told that this is a known issue with OS 10.8.5 and that they're working on a patch. In the meantime I'm using Adobe's DNG as a workaround.
Have not heard before of this Known Issue, also find it hard to believe being true. But can't test my self because I only have CS6 and CC installed and always use Photodownloader to convert to DNG upon import. I have just installed the 10.8.5 update and checked in Bridge CC pointing to an attached card reader. no problem in showing the CR2 thumbs, it works as always and as expected.
To my knowledge Bridge CS5 is already 64 bits and I can't think of any valid reason why an OS update would cause this problem so suddenly (but I'm not a technician I have to confess…)
However, I would first try a check and repair permissions from Apple Disk Utility and also try Cocktail (good and cheap 3th party maintenance application for Mac) to clear caches and check permissions.
Also try a new user account just for testing to rule out your current account as the culprit.

I can't preview svg files in bridge cs6 on mac 10.6.8. Help!

Hi, I want to know why can't I preview svg files in bridge cs6 on mac 10.6.8. It's really frustrating as an increasing number of Illustrator files are saved in this format and I need to check through a gazillion of them. Help!

Thanks for the promt reply Omke!
That was the reason why the thumbnail icons weren't showing up in Bridge. Saving to include XMP data somehow brings in the previews in Bridge.
I don't really need SVG files for print jobs (prefer .eps or .ai), however this appears to be the preferred file format at the picture library where I bought the vector images.
Darn, I was hoping that was not the solution, as in order to view the images in Bridge, I will first have to open and re-save them.
Seems painful but thanks all the same. Would there be a way in Bridge to batch open and re-save files in another format, say from .svg to .ai ?

Renamed Macintosh HD now Dreamweaver can't preview local files in Web Browser even though I have redefined local sites

I've renamed my Macintosh HD on my Macbook something else-and
then went in and redefined all the local sites in Dreamweaver CS3
with the new name. Dreamweaver locates all the local files and
allows me to edit and work on them-but then when I save and preview
it can't locate the files. I've changed the name of my hard drive
back to Macintosh HD and still the same problem. I'm completely
stuck and this is frustrating the hell out of me-what do I
do?

If it is during the preview, check the test server
information in the site settings.

How Can I export Sound Files for Sound mixing?

Can someone please explain me the process of exprting sound sound files for the Sound Mixer & Composer? How do I deliver it to them?

Welcome to the forum.
First, what version of PrE are you using, and then, on what OS version?
In general (specifics can come, with the above info), one would Share/Publish+Share (or Export in older versions) the Timeline as an intermediate Audio-only file. That would be Imported, or Opened in the audio-editor program.
In PrE 11, or 12, one would go to Publish+Share, and then Computer. There, they would scroll down the list, to Audio. Note: the scroll bars are not easy to see, but easy to miss. Look to the far right of the Panel. With Audio selected, choose PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit. That will get you the best file to edit further with your DAW. When that editing is complete, use PCM/WAV @ 48KHz 16-bit, then Import the resultant edited Audio file into the PrE Project, placing it on an empty Audio Track, say Audio 2, or 3. To maintain its position, I would place the CTI (Current Time Indicator) at exactly the point that you want that edited Audio file to be, perhaps at the start of the Timeline. Then, with Snap turned ON, the edited Audio file should snap to the CTI.
When it is in place, you can Delete the other Audio (that which you exported for additional editing), or just go to the Audio Mixer, and check Mute for any Tracks, that contain that original material.
Hope that helps, and if you can let us know a bit more, then someone can step you through any "gray areas," for your specific version.
Good luck,
Hunt

CS3 Bridge gone, so how can I preview PSD files

I've lost Bridge, it not longer opens and there fore I've no easy way to preview my PSD files on my hard drive. Can anyone suggest a way to do it without having to open each individual file in PS.
Thanks.
Judy

Thanks for replying Curt - Bridge suddenly wouldn't open - Windows says "there is an error.....". I saw a previous post suggesting resetting the preferences by holding down the Ctrl key but that didn't do anything at all! I'm currently uninstalling CS3 and components and reinstalling - hopefully this will work!
Thanks again.

Export to jpeg issue: ROES can't preview the files

We are using InDesign to create album layouts which we then order from our lab using their ROES software. Annoyingly, the jpegs created by InDesign cannot be previewed by the ROES software. I have to open them all in Photoshop and resave, which is very much not my intended workflow.
I have two questions.
1) What is different about the jpeg format that InDesign uses vs the one used by Photoshop?
2) Is there a setting in InDesign to make the jpegs compatible with the output from Photoshop?

http://www.myphotopipe.com/ROESFaqs.php
there is something - search for JPG and JPEG phrases
"How should I set up my files to send to you?
We prefer 8bit sRGB or Adobe98 color space. We prefer JPEG files (make sure that they are baseline-standard compression) but also support TIFF files (make sure that they are flattened and saved with no compression). JPG files will upload much faster for you."
or try to contact SoftWorks directly - if your Lab can't help you:

Can't preview video file in Organizer?

Using trial version of Elements and can preview videos. When I switch to Organizer to preview, tag, etc., the screen is black. When I click play, it begins to play but nothing is there.

Which is the file format that you are trying to play? Are you able to view video in some other application?

IMovie '09: I can't add sound files or voice recordings.

I’ve been working on a project in iMovie (’09, version 8.0.6) for the past while, one which involves me importing external sound clips and recording my own voice. However, I went to work on my project again recently, only to discover that I can no longer add sound clips or record my own voice--attempting to do so will only result in iMovie getting stuck, leaving me with no option other then to force quit (which caused further problems I was only able to rectify by restoring an older version of the file from my backup drive). Additionally, certain other tasks run noticeably slower then usual (such changing the audio level on a sound clip); comparing the most recent version of my project to older versions (for clarification, these would be versions prior to the one I used to restore the file after the issues encountered with force-quitting), the older versions complete these tasks noticeably faster, and additionally don’t have any issues adding sound. The same goes for other unrelated projects, which appear to work even faster. What I want to know is, does it sound as if the issue is with a specific thing I’ve changed between my current version and my backups, or is it in general that the program’s just getting slower due to the increase in content? And, if it’s the latter, is there any way I can fix this?
For reference, the issue does not appear to with the size of the file; another, unrelated, project of mine is twice the length and size of the one with issues, and yet it works perfectly fine.

thank you, i tried them b4, not working.
but now the problem solved. i did the following:
1: change my itunes language settings back to english ( it was chinese b4)
2: close itunes than re open it
3: i downloaded a ringtone app on my iphone to allow me to customise the songs into ringtones on my iphone
4: sync my iphone
5: find the ringtones under my iphone's app in itunes sync
6: copy the tones in my computer
7:drag them back to my itunes ringtone lib,
all done~~~~ it took a few step, but at least it worked.
tried the change file format thing again, still not working
