Comodo Firewall causes problems when adding music
When I have Comodo Firewall installed (even when it's closed), I have trouble adding music to iTunes. It hangs and adds one song every 10 minutes. If I add more music to iTunes, it'll start adding the previous queue. In Comodo, I've listed iTunes as a trusted program. I have a pretty big library, but I think this is mainly a firewall program. I've disabled Defense+. There is not much help available in Comodo forums.
Hi scooper,
... An answered the second part, I give a try to part one:
* is the project located on your Mac's local drive or external?
* is the iTunes library on the Mac's local drive or external?
* is the "internet" (<<woohoo, bad kharma;-) ) music coded as aac, mp3 or aiff? or, something different, internet "standard", as ogg, wav, whatever?
your Mac/iM tries to playback in realtime (sure, that makes sense with a movie...), but obviously has too much to do encoding the music...
in case you own QTpro or a designated audio-app (Garageband, Audacity), try to convert the internet music (<<woohoo, bad kharma... ah, said that) BEFORE import to iM into aiff...
in case of usage of external harddrives:
make sure, the drive is "MacOsExtended" formatted, not FAT32... use Disk Utility to accomplish that (any reformatting erases all content!)
pay the artists//respect local laws//get good kharma

Actually I have problem in adding music to be played across all folios, the problem happened when I just lock the ipad and open it, the publication is still opened and i can navigate it but the music is stopped, and cann't be continued. how can I fix it to be continued after opening the ipad and continue navigating the digital publication.
yes,thank you for ur answer, but the owner of the publication which I working on said for me that this is a problem, and we can't submit the digital publication if I can't fix it.
Is their any solution to make the audio run after the device is unlocked. -

PE-11: when adding music to a program the video splits and if it is dragged back together the music splits.
How can I get around this problem?Glenda,
As a test, try dragging, while holding the Ctrl/Cmd modifier key, that "music" to Audio Track 2, and the "bird sounds" SFX file to Audio Track Audio Track 3. There have reports from other users, where the Fixed Audio Tracks, Narration and Soundtrack have caused problems. Those problems seem to be Project-specific. If your Timeline does not have Audio Tracks 1 - 3 already, you can use Add Tracks. The use of the Ctrl/Cmd key, changes how PrE handles existing files on the Timeline, when adding Assets. This usually comes into play, when one is adding Video, or Stills, and should not really affect those, when only adding Audio, but remember, this is only a test.
Good luck,

JTable sorting - problem when adding elements (complete code inside)
I�m writing this email with reference to a recent posting here but this time with the code example. (I apologize for the duplicated posting � this time it will be with the code)
Problem: when adding more elements to the JTable (sorted) the exception: ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown.
Example: If the elements in the table are 10 and then the user requests for 8 � the table will produce the correct result. However, if the user will ask for 11 items (>10) the exception will be thrown.
The program: The program below (compiles and running). A JTable is constructed with 3 items, when you click the button - the return result should be 4 items - this will generate the error, WHY?
I would highly appreciate your thoughts why this is happening and most importantly � how to fix it.
Thanks a lot

Hello,
I have to maintain a SharePoint 2010 project, in which a TopNavigation User Control for SiteCollection is registered in the MasterPage in this way:
<%@ Register TagPrefix="ABC" TagName="TopNavigation" src="~/_layouts/ABCApplication/MainSite/Navigation/TopNavigation.ascx" %>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderTopNavBar" runat="server">
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="PlaceHolderHorizontalNav" runat="server">
<ABC:TopNavigation ID="TopNavi" XMLDataLocation="/_layouts/ABCApplicatopm/MainSite/TopNavigation.xml" IsRoot="true"
runat="server" />
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
When I deploy the SiteCollection, the TopNavigation user control is working correctly. Unfortunately when i modify the masterpage over SharePoint Designer, the following error message comes allways, regardless of the art of changes i did in the MAsterPage
( even if I open the MasterPage, add an space and do save/close the MasterPage).
"Problem when adding user control in my custom master page, Parser Error Message: The referenced file '/_layouts/Navigation/TopNavigation.ascx' is not allowed on this page."
Any ideas?Hi Simon,
When we use UserControl in SharePoint Page or MasterPage, and the UserControl is kept in any folder other than ControlTemplates, we will got the error. Here is an article about this issue and provided the solution:
http://sharepoint-tina.blogspot.com/2009/07/referenced-file-pathxyzascx-is-not.html
The solution can also be used in SharePoint 2010.

HT203793 Playlists freezing when adding music to them now, how to unfreeze?
Playlists freezing when adding music to them now, how to unfreeze? I'm not using Match.
Try closing the Music app completely and then reset your iPad. You will not lose any data.
In order to close the Muisc app, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up. -
ITunes makes different folders when adding music,videos & pictures
Hi,
I use Windows 7. I have found that when adding music,videos & pictures iTunes makes different folder for it.
I have around 17GB of songs & music. but when I added them to iTunes library it made different folder containing all my songs. Now I have around 34GB of songs. What the ****! It does same for videos & pics.
Please Help!Hi,
When adding a new song (or any media file) to the iTunes library, it copies those files to a folder (usually C:\Users\<username>\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music ). iTunes does this to keep a backup of your songs. To deactivate this go to Edit>Preference>Advanced (or Ctrl+, then go to Advanced) and uncheck the checkbox "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library". iTunes will not copy the music files to its folder. But there is one downside to doing so, if you change the directory (folder or place) of the music that you added to the iTunes library (without copying to its folder), the music will not be played. Trying to play such a song will provide you with a messagebox that asks you to relocate the song or to ignore it. So it is always a good idea to allow iTunes copy the music files to the specified folder automatically. But if you are concerned about the disk space, you can delete the songs' copy of yours (the directory you select).
If you want to add some songs to the iTunes Media folder, you right click a song (or multiple songs) and click on "Consolidate Files...". These songs will be copied to the iTunes Media folder and it will be there whatever happens.
If you are afriad that copying a songs will not allow you to copy the music files to another directory from the iTunes Media folder, you shouldn't be. The folder is similar to that of anyother.
Adding a song without using iTunes is also possible, just copy the songs you want to add to "C:\Users\<username>\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Automatically Add to iTunes".
Regards, -
I recently re-installed windows on my machine. When I downloaded the most recent version of iTunes, 5.0.1, it installs just fine. When I go to add music by going to "File -> Add Folder To Libary". After selecting the parent folder and clicking "Ok" it begins importing the files, then after about 3-5 minutes iTunes simply exits. There is no antivirus or any other third party applications running on that computer. It's a base Windows 2003 install.
I've also tried running it under a different user account with no luck. Is there a problem with adding a directory hierarchy? Right now I have my music arranged in folders with the Artists name as the parent folder, then under that there are the various albums, and under that if there are multiple cds each has its own folder with the music in it. Could it be a problem with adding large amounts of data, in my case im trying to import about 73 gigs of music.
I know the problem is not with ram, I've got 4 gigs in there, and I know i've got enough processor to handle it, 3500+ 64 amd.
Adding fodler by folder is almost out of the question, since there are over 500 artists
Any ideas?Is your processor a Dual Core or Dual Processor machine?
I noticed this issue when I got my new system with a Dual Core AMD: Otto42, "FIX - iTunes Crash while "Determining Song Volume"", 10:50pm Sep 4, 2005 CDT
That might not apply to you though, but it's worth looking at. -
Problems when adding iTunes to iMovie project
I recently recorded onto miniDV tape about 15 minutes of rare color film footage from 1938-40, courtesy of the University of Missouri archives. Using iMovie 6.0.1, I made about 15 clips, divided by subject and year and added some titles. I placed them into the clip viewer and previewed the movie. No problems when I previewed it. I also "unchecked" the ambient audio, because the film was silent and the only sound was the sound of the film projector picked up by the Sony TRV-30 digital camcorder. Via the Internet, I found the top songs of the those years and downloaded them from iTunes. I "clicked and dragged" the songs from iTunes into the sound track of the project. Here's where the problem arose. After I added the music, I previewed the movie. The music track played OK, but the video image was extremely "jerky;" in other words, it would appear to stop momentarily, then "jerk" to a start again. It appears that way through the entire project. Any ideas as to why it would be doing this?
Also, I have another "mystery." The icon for the project is in the "movies" folder. The icon appears as a white "one-dimentional square" with "sideways Vs" a the top and a black star on a white field on the face of the icon. When I click on the icon, the project opens (clips etc.). In previous projects, there is a two-dimentional folder with a blue front and when you open it, there are other sub-folders in it (a "media" folder" and the .mov file etc). Why does my current movie only give me the option of opening the project, and does not show the media folder and .mov file? As always, your assistance is very much appreciated. This forum has been very helpful to me in the past. --ScooperHi scooper,
... An answered the second part, I give a try to part one:
* is the project located on your Mac's local drive or external?
* is the iTunes library on the Mac's local drive or external?
* is the "internet" (<<woohoo, bad kharma;-) ) music coded as aac, mp3 or aiff? or, something different, internet "standard", as ogg, wav, whatever?
your Mac/iM tries to playback in realtime (sure, that makes sense with a movie...), but obviously has too much to do encoding the music...
in case you own QTpro or a designated audio-app (Garageband, Audacity), try to convert the internet music (<<woohoo, bad kharma... ah, said that) BEFORE import to iM into aiff...
in case of usage of external harddrives:
make sure, the drive is "MacOsExtended" formatted, not FAT32... use Disk Utility to accomplish that (any reformatting erases all content!)
pay the artists//respect local laws//get good kharma -
Can any one help me get rid of a deleted app 4oD that still appears in the Settings list. I deleted it from the home screen and Spotlight search confirms it has gone. It is causing problems because I get notified of updates and I cannot get rid of them either. I have tried re-downloading via my MacBook because there isn't a download option from the iPad (App Store clearly think I still have it when I don't) then deleting again but the listing in Settings remains.
It is really irritating me.
Thanks.Have you tried deleting the App within the Settings menu (rather than from the Home Screen)?
Settings>General>Usage>
From the Apps list, find the App (press "Show all Apps" if the app is not in the immediately shown list), tap on the app you wish to delete, then tap "Delete App" -
Problems when copying music from CD to i-Pod library
Does anyone have problems with transferring music from a CD to the itunes?
When i do this the CD sometimes sticks / jutters
What should i do?
SIMPLE answers please!
Thank youHi,
Some music, like in normal CD, is in just CD music format (I dont know what they're called), and iTunes will automatically convert into format you specify (for example, if you would like iTunes to convert it into mp3, then select mp3) some CD are in mp3 format, but this is generally by individual, not retailer CDs. -
N8 - Strange problem when adding an OVI email acco...
Hi there.
When adding my GFs OVI email account to her N8 I start the installer which directs me to a page where I can sign up or login.
I choose login as she's already setup an account. The login succeeds and we get the "readying inbox" or a similar message. Then the browser seems to get stuck at reloading a link and finally gives me an error saying the login name or password was incorrect.
Login in on a PC works great.
I didn't have this problem on my N8 but then again I was using email.nokia.com since my previous E52.
Any one have a clue?
Thanks.

I created a 13 min Slide Show in iPhoto but have a question on adding music. I would like to add music clips that are set to change at the beginning of certian slides so that there is a varity of music during the show rather than a continuous theme clip. I know you can add multiple clips but can you pin them to change at a particular point in the program? Right now the music clips just run to their time limit and the next one starts. Isn't there a way to edit them the way it can be done in iMovie? Its frustrating to be able to create a nice slide show and not be able to manage the music background. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
No, you don't have that fine grained control of the soundtrack in iPhoto. It's designed for a quick job, not a complex one.
Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
iMovie is on every Mac sold.
Others, in order of price:
PhotoPresenter $29
PhotoToMovie $49.95
PulpMotion $129
FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
Final Cut Pro X $299
It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs. However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Pro X is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for. -
Website structure causing problems when creating livecopy based on a blueprint
Hi,
Our website structure goes like this:
company/
products/
services/
contact us/
etc...
Our site is single language and hence the structure. Now we have a problem when creating a livecopy (for mobile site) based on a blueprint.
It seems that for the livecopy (based on a blueprint) to work, the site structure needs to be like this:
company/
en/
products/
etc...
It's too late for us to include another layer. What's the best way to create a livecopy based on a blueprint? Or should we just go with livecopy without the blueprint? But then are we missing out on the sync benefit from the blueprint?
Thanks!!Hi Chaack,
Thanks for this idea. I have tried this before but couldn't get the livecopy to sync.
I tried to do it through the blueprint by right click and select 'rollout'. But nothing happens. The 'blueprint' tab on the page properties on the livecopy site is grayed out. I think the blueprint I created is not associated with the livecopy and that's why the rollout does not work. If the livecopy was created through 'Create site' then the blueprint is available to choose on step1. But not when you 'create live copy'. Is there anyway to link the blueprint to the livecopy if the livecopy was created through 'create live copy'?
Thanks!!! -
Firewire device causing problems when connected to Mini via LaCie ExtHD/Bus
Hello there..
Just bought LaCie 300GB Ext.HD/Bus(Firewire &USB). It was recognized by my Mini no problem. I have used the firewire connection between The HD and the mini. The problems begin when I try to connect my M-Audio firewire audio interface (it's mains powered, by the way) to one of the firewire bus inputs of the LaCie - then every action gets the dreaded spinning beachball and I have to shut down etc. The connection of this device has even prevented the HD being recognized by my system, in the case where I have tried having it already connected and powered up before switching on and connecting the HD to the Mini.
I've tried other things such as PMU reset, to no lasting avail.
This is the same firewire audio interface that has worked fine for months when plugged directly into the Mini, so why should there be a problem when it's connected to the bus port of the HD?
Now, as a temporary solution, I have changed the connection between the Mini and the HD/Bus from Firewire to USB - this means I can now use the FW port on the Mini to connect my audio interface (as before). The problem with this is that I work alot with video as well as audio, and have learned that it's very advisable to use firewire drives when working on video...but there is only one FW input on my Mini, so if the La Cie HD is using that, there is no port for audio interface to go in...that's why I bought this particular HD - more storage on a FW HD which has extra FW bus ports for such things as audio interfaces!
I hope I've explained the problem OK, thank you in advance for any advice.
JimmyYou don't mention which model you have, but this is from the M-Audio Firewire 410 Manual Troubleshooting section:
The FireWire 410 has been designed to give you high performance and professional quality audio. It has been tested under a wide range
of systems and operating conditions. In the real world, however, there is a nearly infinite number of possible operating scenarios, any of
which could affect your system’s performance. Much like owning an automobile, “your mileage may vary.” This section can not begin to
cover all possible issues you may encounter, however we want to give you some suggestions on common problems you may experience.
One thing to avoid is connecting too many devices. The FireWire bus is a dependable, high-speed, high-bandwidth protocol which is ideally
suited for digital audio. Nonetheless, it’s important to remember that audio and multimedia streaming places considerable demands on
your processor and the FireWire bus. Although it is theoretically possible to chain many multiple FireWire devices in series, doing so may
potentially degrade your audio performance.
I guess this degradation could also affect the Firewire HD. Maybe there is a simple fix, but it sounds like the M-Audio people have been down this road before.
