"Correct Drift" option corrects WAY too much.

Whenever I would record using Audition 1.5 (Windows XP, fairly powerful computer) everything would be out of sync. It seemed that everything was compressed timewise, so as the track went on, the 2nd track was faster and faster than the 1st track.
I came here and some of you guys suggested correcting drift and start time, which worked at first.
Now, however, when I correct drift for a track that is about two seconds long, it stretches it to about a minute. When I turn it off, it has the same problem as before. So I'm confused how to fix it from here.
My soundcard may be an issue since at times when my CPU is under a lot of pressure, all sound comes out crackly. But even when I turn everything off and the sound is fine, this problem still exists. You guys know what I should do here?

OMG - I thought I was losing my mind. This just started happening to me after YEARS of recording.
Out of the blue, I sang along to a 5 min song and on playback the vocals slowly drifted ahead of the music.
I couldn't think of anything that triggered this behavior. All I've been doing to this XP machine is load more and more VSTs. And I have yet to get this problem on other XP machines I use in different locations, all loaded w the same software.
The only difference between all my XP machines are the soundcards.
"Correct for drift" didn't help - but it did make me suspicious that Adobe knew there could be problems.
After days of working at this problem, last night I did a "Repair" (re-)install of my Rocketfish 7.1 soundcard drivers. I removed the internal soundcard from the Device Order list. Finally, I clicked "Correct for drift."
To my relief, the machine recorded and played back in synch.
HOWEVER - After recording the vocal track, a "Correcting for drift" window and progress bar came up - which I have never, ever needed or seen before.
So ... WTF is going on? I have no freaking idea, except that I'm pretty certain all this crap involves the soundcard. Since I got my studio back up and running, I'm not going to worry about trying to figure it out until I have to.
BTW, a phone call to the nice folks at Rocketfish (Best Buy) resulted in a denail from them that the soundcard was to blame. Whatever.
So for you, I would recommend trying a repair (re)install of your soundcard drivers - if that doesn't work, a full removal and reinstall of the drivers, if that doesn't work, go online and see if there are updated drivers. (I suppose you've already tried a System Restore to a point before the problem appeared? I couldn't - didn't have an old enough Restore Point.)
If nothing works, and you don't want to wipe the PC and reinstall XP and start all over (which would have been my next step), then yes, I would recommend trying a different soundcard. Surely there must be a store near you that will take it back once its opened if you explain its not compatible?
And there's always craigslist or eBay to get a used soundcard.
I'm in Denver and I could put you in touch w my comp guy who might be able to provide and ship a soundcard for a reasonable rate. He's pretty inexpensive.
GOOD LUCK!

Since upgrading my phone to 6.0.1, I'm using way too much data. I believe it's the podcast app that's not loading shows while I'm connected to wifi. I have the 3g turned off for podcasts??? also after a phone call or an alert it starts playing a podcast?

I've also had the same issues, after upgrading to IOS 6.0, the apps in my iPhone 4 were crashing and the battery life run out very fast.
The only solution worked for me was to remove all mail accounts (Exchange/Gmail) from my iPhone (in settings) and then add them back.
The crashing were stopped! also the battery was back to normal.
I found the solution by first looking at the crash logs (in IOS 6). you can find them at Settings -> General -> About (at the bottom of the About menu you will find the option that opens the logs).
There i saw many logs about Low Memory crash. 99% of the logs were pointed that the largest process (use the most memory) during the crashes is "dataaccessd".
I search in the web and found that this process is a deamon process that reponsible the Mail accounts (like Exchange/Gmail) and contancts list.
I've installed the app "System Status - activity monitor" which shows important system info like CPU usage, Memory usage and running processes.
Before apply my solution (deleting the mail accounts) i saw that the CPU usage was very high which consume the battery very fast. Also i saw that the memory (RAM) was run out.. which probably what cause the crashing..
After deleting the mail accounts (at Settings -> Mail, Contacts, Calendars) i check again with the System Status app, and saw that the memory and CPU were back to normal.
Adding the mail accounts back, still everything work ok
Hope this solution will help you too,
Enjoy!

I can't get an answer to this. I have a 120 gb iPod. Way too much to put my music on my iPhone. Is there a way to just put some of my music on my iPhone?

Playlists on the iPhone are the same as on the iPod. Just connect the iPhone and go to the iPhone Music tab in iTunes. You can check the playlists you want on the iPhone.
One "trick" is to create a new playlist and just drag all of the music you want on the iPhone to this playlist, then sync only that playlist.
Another option is to use the "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128kbps AAC" on the iphone Summary page in iTunes. This will compress the music and you will lose some quality, but unless you are using $500 headphones you won't notice.
The manual is in Safari on your phone; its a predefined bookmark. You can also download a PDF:

The iCloud Drive folder in Library/Mobile Documents is taking up way too much space on my startup disk.

The iCloud Drive folder in Library/Mobile Documents is taking up way too much space on my startup disk
I was hoping my files would stay in the cloud and not take up a ton of space on my machine (only a 128gb SSD). But while performing an overnight time machine backup I came back to find a "Startup Disk Full" error message. I only have about 20gb used locally but over 200gb in iCloud Drive at the moment.
Is there a way to clear the cache so my files stay on iCloud and not hogging space on my SSD? Or a way to redirect this library to my 2nd hard drive?
I'm using a 15" mid-2012 Macbook Pro with a 1TB hard drive and I've replaced the optical drive with a 128gb SSD for my OS (which is where my library is, hence the difficulty).
Thank you!

While puttering around after posting this I think I found my personal solution here: http://macs.about.com/od/diyguidesprojects/qt/Move-Your-Home-Folder-To-A-New-Loc ation.htm
I'm just going to move my home folder to my 2nd internal 1TB hard drive to solve my problem.
But my question remains, how can we minimize the amount of local space iCloud Drive ***** up? I wanted to get the rumored new macbook air that might come out next year but this is a big turn off if iCloud drive is going to overwhelm the SSD in the AIr.

In Safari, my iMac sometimes zooms way too much and will not zoom back. I have a wireless mouse set to zoom in and out on double tap, but the excessive zooms happen with no taps.

In Safari, my iMac sometimes zooms way too much and will not zoom back. I have a wireless mouse set to zoom in and out on double tap, but the excessive zooms happen with no taps. A page zooms in so less than 1/4 of the page is visible and nothing I do will zoom back out, command minus doesn't do it, double tap on mouse does not zoom out, and the window will not scroll to show any of the rest of the page. reloading the page does not help. Loading a different page gives me a normal view again.

If it were a tweaked setting, it should happen less randomly. And there should be no settings that could override the zoom setting in unversal Access and the Mouse zoom preferences.
In addition, this only happens in Safari 6, and seems to happen more fredquently on some websites and not on others. That suggests some sort of conflict in the site code with Safari and Apple wireless mouse code. It does not happen in Mail, Word, Excel, Photoshop, Illustrator, or other software as far as I can tell.

Way Too much for me!!!!! I'll go back to youtube,very easy and better info!etube. Better info and eaiser!!

This website is way too much for the simple guy wanting to know a simple answer to a simple question about an iPad 2 or a iMac!!!!!

No problem! There are many people for whom videos are a much easier way to learn things than trying to read written instructions or explanations. You should always use whatever works best for you.

Recording gives way too much distort

Hello everybody!
I'm trying to record my guitar on the comp by placing a mic (which is plugged into the mic-in) near the amp but the quality of the recording is horrible, it sounds way too much distorted. It used to sound ok on my old comp which had an onboard sound card (AC97).
I don't know what to do.. any thoughts?

I think you would get better results my plugging the guitar into a preamp and the line-level from the preamp into the Line-in of your soundcard. If you search the forum for "guitar," you'll find lots of posts. This thread seems to cover using a SoundBlaster for guitar recording well, especially jutapa's posts.

Fan goes on way too much

Why is there way too much extra info attached to my photo cd, when I simply burnt only 6 pictures on it? This has been happening for months now.

Why is there too much extra info attached to my photo cd, when I simply burnt only 6 pictures on it?
This has been happening for several months now.
It used to work correctly.
For example:
I burnt a photo file of 25 pictures from my iphoto collection.
When I went to the store to print them, the computer indicated there were 155 photos on it.
All were cropped versions of my 25 pictures.
Weird.
Then when I only burnt 6 pictures today onto a cd, I took the disc to a Print Shop.
Sure enough, the disc had other data and files associated with photos on it.
Yes, my 6 were on it, but the Print Shop had to spend extra time searching for them.
What's uP?

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa

HT4061 This whole **** iPad "get help" is just way too much trouble. I am going to throw the **** thing away!

I have an iPad. I have used it off and on. When I went to use it tonight, I kept getting an error message on my password which I have used for at least 7 months. Then I have to go through all kinds of contortions to get it reset. Then I have to read a 42 page iTunes document before my iPad will let me do a thing! So, after 5 o 6 pages I tell it to send it to my e-mail account. But it refuses to let me do anything until I have read the document. So then I go try to get support using my desktop and then it wants my serial number. After more than 40 minutes this is all too much! I am not a happy camper!

Your post wins the truth and most funny award! Who on earth "actually" reads terms of use all the way through? We scan to the bottom, and click agree. I figure one of these days, someone's going to knock on my door and tell me I have move out of my fully paid for home. When I ask why they think I should do this, they'll whip out some user agreement I clicked agree and there, buried on page XX will be the statement that after 12.7 years, they have the right to take my house.

Why is "other" taking up way too much space on iPad?

Ever since I updatd my device to ios7 there is this huge "other" taking up too much space on my ipad. Not sure why.. or if the update is the reason. I can't put anything on my ipad anymore. Before the update I was able to put movies and tv shows. I tried to fix the issue but came up with nothing. I plugged it into my comptuer with no help. Unsynced everthing possible. Please help.

Epson 9800 laying down WAY too much ink

I use a MacBook Pro to print to an Epson 9800 roll printer -- been doing this for years with no problem.
UNTIL NOW!
All of a sudden, the Epson is laying down huge quantities of ink, especially when I print onto film (for screen printing). It puts down so much ink, the ink dribbles down the film and drips off the printer, pooling on the floor, until I leap up and cancel the job. What's more, the printer is printing a light-colored background to images that had no background to begin with.
Here's the catch: *this only happens in Photoshop.* (I'm using CS 5.1.) If I take the same image file, place it in Illustrator, and print it, it comes out just fine. So the problem lies in Photoshop's print options. Somehow, something got changed in the last couple weeks, and I have no idea what.
Here's what Epson support has to say about it:
Unfortunately we don't know what is causing the issue. We have seen an increase in calls with people having issues with CS5 but we can't do anything about it as we do not make Photoshop. Everyone is able to print from other programs just like you are, so it is narrowed down to the Photoshop program...
I'm hoping that someone here will be familiar with this *particular* printing problem, and what the *specific* Photoshop printing option might be that is causing this.
Thanks in advance for your help!

also,
rule out the obvious that you are printing on the correct side of the paper
that you have at least deleted the printer, ran all OS-Photoshop-Printer updates and added the printer back and rebooted

Way too much stuff, need more locations

Yes, I have a 1TB drive - that's too full. I had to move a lot of stuff to a new 1TB drive. In order to find the moved stuff I have to go one by one to 'locate' and all is good in the world. Is there an easier way? Because I would LOVE to know it. Apologies if this has been answered before, I searched and couldn't find.

*Adding new items/removing orphans*
Try iTunes Folder Watch or iTunes Library Updater. Folder Watch is much faster on the adding files front, can be set to run in the background and includes a useful exclusion feature, however it’s really slow at removing orphans. iTLU is better for this although doing it manually after looking at a list of proposed removals generated by Folder Watch is probably faster still. iTLU can also be set to update iTunes when you've used 3rd party tools to change tag info.
