CD's aren't burning correctly

When I burn audio cd's all but the last couple of songs are burning on the disc and an error message pops up saying:
The attempt to burn a disc failed. The device failed to respon properly, unable to recover or retry.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

My fonts aren't previewing correctly in Font Book

For some reason I have random fonts in Font Book that aren't previewing correctly. This has not always been the case but for some reason recently it is. I have tried clearing my font cache, etc. without any success. Thoughts?

Hello, installed any new fonts lately?
Did you Validate all fonts in Font Book & check for duplicates?

Two of my 7 calendars aren't syncing correctly via icloud from iMac to ipad and iphone. i cant find the problem. Help!

Two calendars in my list of seven are not correctly syncing between my iMac and my ipad & iPhone. Also, the two calendars appear in my iCloud list with alert symbols after the (triangle with exclamation mark) whereas others in list show a "broadcasting" symbol. I don't know how to find out what these alerts are.
I have noticed problems in syncing special recurring events....I.e I am able to set up a 'last Friday of each month" on my iMac, but it doesn't appear on my iPad or iPhone. And I note I can't set up a special recurring event on my iPad or iPhone. What can I do to solve this? Is this a known flaw in iCal?

I have no idea if this will help as I sync via iTunes under OSX.6.8 - but there may be a clue somewhere here:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4981514
I have to say that, even after doing all that, my problem seems to recur at random with no obvious trigger - and it is even more bizarre because, like you, not all calendars or events are affected. Sometimes, different events within the same calendar are duplicated whereas others aren't!
And just how the iPad seems to pick up events which no longer appear in iCal is beyond me - presumably somewhere in a plist or old cache file but, as I said, no-one has any idea what or where!
No-one has managed to explian why my problem occurs or, indeed, just what is happening, but at least I now know how I can correct it, albeit via tedious series of steps.
I hope that helps?

Burns correct song, but wrong file name

I have been burning a song of mine. After the song is finished burning I click on the cd icon and when it opens it shows a name of a different song. When I play the cd it plays the correct song-the one I burned! The name it labels it with is a drum track I once created so I deleted the drum track, restarted the computer, etc. It still burns the right song but names it with the track I deleted. I am preparing this cd to go out to radio stations and, although my outside labelling (cd art, Lightscribe on the cd) identifies the song, I am afraid of what will happen if the cd is downloaded, e.g. it won't show up with it' correct name.

I burn cds with iTunes-my own music imported from Garageband into iTunes.
I deleted all copies of the song that keeps being labeled on my new songs from iTunes.
I see there are iTunes Library data files in my iTunes folder, but I can't open them. There is also a folder labelled Previous iTunes Libraries with old dates on them. I don't know why they are there.
I repair permissions and restart my computer regularly.
Following the lead of some other apple discussion threds where people have had the same problem I created a 1-second silent track and added it to the playlist of the one song I was burning. Then I labeled the silent track and my demo under one album name. Then it burned and labeled okay. It turns out this problem only happens when you are burning single songs. Burning albums don't have this problem. Compilations will have this problem if you don't change all the songs to one album heading. Also, it happens with any single song burn, not just my Garageband stuff. I tried burning a single Bob Dylan song and it still came out labeled with the wrong name, the same ones iTunes put on my demo.

I have a new iPod Touch but some of the albums aren't grouping correctly and are just listing the songs individually, how can I fix this?

I got an iPod touch as a Christmas gift to replace an old broken iPod Nano, and it's worked fine apart from this thing with the Albums. Certain Albums (Albums made up of individual songs by different artists) aren't properly grouping into a single Album, but instead turns each individual song into it's own Album unless the songs are by the same artist, this is really weird since the old Nano never had this issue. I'm not sure what causes this or how to fix it, I thought maybe turning off "Group by Album Artist" in settings would do the trick but that doesn't seem to have done anything. Basically I just want to get these songs properly grouped into a Single Album instead of as individual albums for each song and was curious if anyone knew how to do this.
I do apologize if this is confusing, I'm not really sure how to describe the problem.

I feel your pain! I have the same exact problem. Have you gotten a solution yet?

My spotcolors aren't displaying correctly. (Different from the swatch)

I am having an issue that has just randomly happened where when I want to make a colour a certain spot colour from my swatch library fill a certain shape it DOESNT CHANGE the colour yet it SAYS IT IS ANOTHER COLOUR when I do a separations preview. I'll try to explain.
The thing is is that it works to be changed to any other colour in my swatch library than the one I want it to be changed to. And this issue is only happening to ONE swatch in particular that I have not made any alterations to, and that has always worked perfectly. If I create a new document it will display correctly, but when I paste the shape into another document that has the same exact settings and spot colours it pasts as a different colour. (like the same as Top Black 2)
I AM HAVING DIFFICULTY WITH TOP BLACK 1 (these spot colours have not changed and I've always used them.)
My shapes are wayyyyy too much to remake in the new document- so I have to copy and paste many layers.
I'm sorry if this seems confusing I made up some pictures. I am just using circles to show you my problem.
Below is when I have made a new document from the same template I use and have always used. The spot colours from my library are seen here in their proper colours. (by the way I am not working in greyscale I still use actual colours. My document is CMYK)
SO this happens vice versa if I paste shape TOP BLACK 1 from an old document into a new or from a new document to an older one.
Below You now see what I have copied from my brand new document (above) and have pasted it into my previous document and as you can see, my TOP BLACK 1 has now darkened now displaying as my Top Black 2.(or at least close to it) I CAN change the TOP BLACK 1 shape into any other colour, for example my working pink colour. But when I click it to be Top Black 1 it still stays the way it is shown here. I think you can notice that what TOP BLACK 1 is now is way darker than the Grey it's supposed to be in my library on the right. Circle 3 and 4 have correctly copied and pasted in the correct colour.
Heres the other strange thing too. If I click and hold my TOP BLACK 1 swatch in my library (as seen above) and drag it to my main illustrator swatch library, it displays darker. The pink arrow shows the swatch that it has turned into. I am so confused of what it is doing.
When I turn on my separations preview and turn off top black 1 all that i have that is TOP BLACK 1 disappears... so it is SEPARATING correctly its just not displaying on my screen as the correct colour.
Let me know if there is anything else to explain. I have restarted my computer, reset launch settings etc. I only found one forum where a person has the same problem and it had a few suggestions of the appearance panel settings but none of that has worked. I have the most updated Illustrator CC
Thankyou.

1 appears to be the one that is off the most.
2 is slightly off
You may have an extra fill assigned at the group level that is overiding the fill at the Path level. Doubleclick on the word Contents in your appearance palette to get to the path level. To fix you can delete the fill at the group level, or simply ungroup to break that attribute.
As Larry mentioned, posting the file is the best way to get an answer to this one.
If you cannot post the file, we will need to know what color document color mode, and the color type and values.
You can also check this setting.

My transitions aren't applying correctly. With video explanation!

I've set the default transition as dip to black. I select some clips and apply default transitions. Only some transitions get dip to black applied to them. I have to manually drag dip to black to the other transitions. When I manually do this the transition still works.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39qBzSXwwg0&feature=youtu.be
Another video. I have dip to black set at 2 seconds, center at cut. The first transition applied correctly. The second only applied for 1;16 (why?) and not centered at cut. I have to manually adjust this and it ends up working. The third transition is only 0;28 and start at cut (why???). When I manually charge it to 2 seconds center at cut it actually does become 2 seconds centered at cut. There's nothing stopping the 2 second center at cut from working, but Premiere just doesn't apply it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LBomt489cs

I know it is an older post, but I'm experiencing the same issue. Having to adjust 168 transitions manually is a p.i.t.a and I would expect a professional programm as Premier to handle it better. Ann wrote: If a transition does not have handles it will duplicate still frames (diagonal strips) or set it off center. That is fine, if it would be possible to set the default behaviour to duplicate still frames. This is what would be needed. I understand the concept behind the implementaion, but dip to black doesn't fit the usage of other transitions, therefore it is a weak implementation that doesn't address the different needs of Dip to Black. So the main question is, can the default be set to duplicate frames resp. "Center at Cut" for Dip to Black?
Adobe's explanation in Ann's link states:
The pointer changes to indicate the alignment options as you move it over the cut:
If both clips contain trimmed frames at the cut, you can center the transition over the cut or you can align it on either side of the cut so that it either starts or ends at the cut.
If neither clip contains trimmed frames, the transition automatically centers over the cut and repeats frames from the first clip, or from the second clip, or from both clips, as needed to fill the transition duration. Diagonal bars appear on transitions that use repeated frames.
If only the first clip contains trimmed frames, the transition automatically snaps to the In point of the next clip. The transition uses the first clip’s trimmed frames for the transition and does not repeat frames from the second clip.
If only the second clip contains trimmed frames, then the transition snaps to the Out point of the first clip. The transition uses the second clip’s trimmed frames for the transition and does not repeat frames from the first clip. The default duration of a transition, for either audio or video, is set to 1 second. If a transition contains trimmed frames, but not enough to fill the transition duration, Premiere Pro adjusts the duration to match the frames. You can adjust the duration and alignment of a transition after you place it.
Therefore using Ctrl+D never places the transition in the center if there are not sufficient frames after the trim. I need to click in the effects control panel and set the clip to center at cut. I normally use an AutoKey macro just to go from cut to cut using the Arrow Keys and then sending Ctrl+D to place the Dip to Black transition. Therefore I would like to have the default behaviour set to "Center at Cut". Is there any way to do this?
I found out that clicking the Ctrl key changes the duration of a left or right placed transition to the full default duration instead of limiting it to the flesh of the clip. I didn't find any key combination that forces the tranistion to be placed centered.

Sitemap generator(s) aren't working correctly (I think)

Hello,
I followed the lengthy link yesterday that started out as "meta and Google-ing" which then morphed somehow into "best sitemap generator." Following suggestions from Varkgirl, James Tseng and others, I got registered and verified by Google. Thank you for that. It went smoothly and quickly.
I also followed the forum discussions about creating a Sitemap and, based on the recommendations, I tried two of them. First I tried http://www.sitemap.com/Default.aspx recommended by Varkgirl on 11/21/06. It seemed to work fine and downloaded a html page on my desktop in a matter of seconds. I dragged that onto Fetch and "Put" it to the server (ftp-dom.earthlink.net - with whom I have my primary email service. Getting a new website up on Earthlink was, happily, very easy.)
What I got back from SitemapDoc SEEMED incomplete - just the Home page was shown. I fiddled with ""edit existing map" and nothing happened that I could see. (I'm open to the idea that it's me, not the software.) I dragged the icon from the Fetch webdocs window in to the trash.
Then I tried another website generator that had been recommended by Rebecca as the super dooper one - xml-sitemaps.com. I did that because of her high praise and, also, because of a comment James Tseng has made in a 11/02.06 response to Tormance saying "...the sitemap.xml file. (Emphasis on the ".xml" file - thinking that maybe that xml was better.)
While I've read the definitions of html and xml ,I don't know the difference except that they are both markup languages for websites.
The xml-sitemaps.com sitemap page - downloaded to my desktop - showed the correct total number of web pages - 11. I should say that I chose to download the sitemap to the desktop and not to use iDisk. Perhaps that's part of the problem that ensued. I grabbed the sitemap.xml icon on the desktop and dropped it on to the Fetch webdocs page/window and clicked "Put." Fetch started to upload and all seemed to be fine. Initially I recognized page names, artwork names, Haiku lines from the new website. I got very nervous when it was still uploading after 25 minutes and I saw, among dozens of other files and folders, "Acobat Reader 5.0 sitz as Stuffit X Archive" (nothing on the website I created used compressed material), "Reader .pdf binary data," SVGA GMG carbon raster lib.sitx as Stuffit X archive," and, most scary, the beginning download of a file titled "passwords...." It looked to me as though it was uploading my entire hard drive - like something from a great 60s or early 70s movie, "Collosus the Forbin Project." I stop the Put at that point and trashed the sitemap.xml file.
Your suggestions are most welcome and appreciated.

Related to my original question (below),
Is there a technical reason - other than the practical reasons of backup and storage - to use iDisk to house my website? I currently have it in a desktop folder. In my original post I asked if not storing the website on iDisk might be part of the problem in not being able to create a sitemap.
Thanks.

Dvd doesn't burn correctly? Wont Export? And ACVHD conversion quality poor? please help

Im new to using Final Cut Pro X, i have a sony camcorder and it records into AVCHD, so i had to get a converter, i decided to go with Aunsoft Final Mate. I converted the files into H.246, and the quality was alot worse than expected. (can anybody suggested a better output file). Then into Final Cut, my first attempt burned to DVD via the onboard disc drive (MacBook Pro) and it stuttered all the way through even though it worked fine on the Mac. Then i attempted to export and burn through idvd, but the export kept getting stuck on 24%. So then i tried to burn it direct from Final Cut again and it wouldnt work, kept getting error message 0 qt. So i had to delete my clip and start again. Has anybody had these issues, or anybody know if there is anything i can do. Thanks

If you're shooting AVCHD youy don't need to convert your files. The media is already H.264 and can be imported from the camera.
Sounds like you hava disc playback problem. Might haev to do with what's happening on that computer.

I have a typical 720x480 sequence in final cut that i've exported as a quicktime movie. I put it in DVD studio pro 4, made a simple menu, but it never burns correctly. How do I burn a simple one video DVD that actually has reasonable quality?

I don't understand why burning DVDs has so many problems.

There are a number of tutorials that might help you.
http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/first_play_warmouth.html
http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/basic_build_dvd_in_dvd_sp.html
DVD SP gives you a lot of control over the DVD authoring process. But with that, you also have the ability to make a lot of bad discs. iDVD will lead you down a narrow path. It will always make a disc that plays, but you have very little control or customization. If all you want to do is make a simple DVD that plays, then you might be better off with iDVD.

Some songs aren't syncing correctly - Iphone

Some songs are not syncing correctly. That means I change the name on Itunes and this change does not affect the Iphone. But that just happens for some songs. So on my iphone 30% of the songs are messed up and disorganized,
I tried to find posts/foruns about it but I couldn't, Seems like a rare problem.
Don`t know how to fix it. It's been more than a year,
Iphone system is up to date (Iphone 4)
Thanks in advance
Aline

What format are these tracks in and what is the original source? Are these downloads from the iTunes Store or were they imported from outside of iTunes?

Panel menus aren't working correctly on dual monitors

Hi,
I posted a question yesterday about this, but no one replied. Maybe my subject didn't describe the problem so I am trying again.
I use DW on a dual monitor Windows XP system. The program is on the main monitor and I move some of the panels/palettes to the secondary monitor which is to the left of the main monitor. The problem is that when I click the little menu icon in the upper right corner of the panels, the context menus open all the way over on the far right side of the main monitor. Please see the attached image to see exactly what is happening.
I have tried everything I can think of to make this work correctly, but no luck. My Photoshop workspace is set up similarly and the PS palette menus open just as they should.
Thank you.
John

XL Reporter : Date critaries aren't working correctly

Hi,
yesterday I found a bug in my reports. I wanted to show all transactions between two dates : 08/01/07 and 08/14/07 but the query retrieves records it shouldn't
FACT JOU( RefDate >= @Date1 And RefDate <= @Date2 And TransTypeCode = "ARInvoice" Or TransTypeCode = "ARCreditMemo" Or TransTypeCode = "CashReceipt" ) Group By JOU.RefDate ,JOU.TransTypeCode ,FIG.OJDT_BaseRef ,FIG.OJDT_Ref1 ,FIG.OJDT_Ref2
But when I do a similar SQL query using the cast as Datetime, it works perfectly. Isn't there a way to do something like this with XL Reporter ?
select RefDate,Memo from dbo.OJDT where RefDate >= cast('05/01/2007' as Datetime) and RefDate <= cast('08/14/2007' as Datetime) and TransId in (select TransId from OJDT where Memo like 'A/R I%' or Memo like 'A/R C%' or Memo like 'Inc%')
Is anyone had the same kind of problems as me with dates ? Do you have any solutions.

It seems critaries doesn't work with dimension, I changed it for a light dimension and the report works correctly. I don't understand why...

Exceptions for repeating Events aren't handled correctly on iPod!?

I have a few repeating all day events set up in my calendar in iCal. If I sync them to my iPod they are transfered correctly.
However, if I move one of them in iCal from say wednesday to tuesday as an exception for this event (for just one week), the event isn't moved on the ipod as well. Instead, after syncing, it shows up on tuesday *as well as* wednesday. In iCal everything is displayed correctly...but on the ipod it is doubled.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Best regards,
Markus.

Scott,
thanks for your hint. unfortunately this didn't change anything at all.
I still got my repeating events correct on the mac but doubled on the ipod.
Any other ideas?
Best regards,
Markus.
