CS4 What stops audio from being moved to some audio tracks?

I find in some cases a snippet of audio that would fit easily into what at least appears to be empty track above it, will not go there. Instead what looks something like the little magnet icons... (only verticle) .. appears at the cursor and the audio will not be moved up.
I'm trying to conserve tracks a bit since I've hogged up 5 audio and 3 video. I don't like having some stuff out of site while editing if possible nor do I like making the stuff above the timeline so tiny or buried. I'd like to use what appears to be empty audio track where possible
Is there a setting the will allow me to move audio as I please?

Ahh, that it explains it then... thanks
Harry,
Those Audio Track type/Audio file type mis-matches have tripped up many.
Management of Tracks, both Video and Audio, can be a bit of alchemy, and a bit of art. One can do a lot about locating them, but one feature that PrPro does not yet have is Track dragging.
There is a thread from about 6 mos. back that goes into some of the details of Track management. Throughout that thread, there are complaints about no Track-dragging, but if you ignore those, one can get the step-by-step on doing it "the PrPro way." If I can find it, I'll link to it.
Good luck,
Hunt

Stopping HD from being accessed

I've had to return my G5 iSight to the dealer for repairs. There is a lot of personal data on one of the partitions on the internal drive and to stop access to that partition, I set up an account for the dealer to use, and as well, I stopped it from being visible on the dealer's desktop by allowing only the Administrator (me) access to the disk.
That worked well. But I thought I'd try to erase the partition from within the dealer's account by using Disk Utility. Sure enough, the partition appeared and Disk Utility seemed to allow me to erase it.
How can I lock a partition so that it is password protected and nothing can be done to it from within a dealer's account?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions

There's very little you can do to prevent access to that partition as a whole. You can't even rely on your login password, since that can be reset by anyone with a system disk. What I would advise is to keep all sensitive data in an encrypted file of some sort. Encrypted disk images work beautifully for this purpose. I have one that contains all my passwords, account numbers, financial information, etc. The password is long and is not remembered in any keychain.
If the disk image option doesn't work for you, there are all kinds of commercial and non-commercial encryption options. Just search somewhere like MacUpdate or VersionTracker.

How to stop files from being locked in Mountain Lion?

In the last week, I have found several of the files that I have generated or downloaded have become locked. Since Apple has eliminated the Auto locking feature that use to be in Time Machine. The files include PDFs, PHGs, TXTs, etc. How do I stop files from being locked? How do I unlock the ones that are locked? I can not emtpy my Trash.

When I went to "Get Info" on one of the locked files [a TXT file] per your steps, I noticed that the there was a Locked box checked. I unchecked that box and was then able to remove the files from Trash without any further action.
Do you know why it got locked in the first place since Mountain Lion does not automatically lock files as the older OS X version did? Do you know how to prevent it from happening again?
I want to thank you for your suggestion.

Preventing clips from being moved

how can I prevent clips from being moved by viewers onto their desktops?
terry

HDV capture has always split clips in FCE, it's normal behaviour.
During capture FCE is actually changing the native MPEG 2 compressed footage to AIC ( Apple Intermediate Codec) So it can handle each frame on an individual basis. Makes it edit friendly.
DV could capture complete tapes in one clip.

You can use an extension to lock specific tabs.

Can I stop email from being sent?

I have a number of email accounts configured in outlook 2010.
I want to prevent email from being sent via one of the accounts.
CAN I do this?
If so How?
I have tried to change the SMTP address to be invalid.
It does not send, and does not give me an error.
When I close outlook it tells me emails have not been sent. I have no idea where these emails r.
When I restart it, it resets the smtp address and sends the email.
ruggb

thx for the reply
The problem I am trying to work around is ppl using outlook try to send/reply/fwd emails using those old addresses. Outlook must be configured to rcv mail from clients using those addresses. So if the old email address is set as FROM I want to stop it from
being sent.
if i set the smtp address to an invalid the test never completes and I can never get to the end of that wizard.
If I go back and look at it it is still the invalid address after I cancel the wizard.
If i try to send mail it appears to do it after a long pause and i can't find the email anyplace -but it is not sent.
If i shut down and restart outlook it is back to the valid address and the mail gets sent.
I have it set only rcv, not send, that address in the group but that doesn't work.

How can I STOP Firefox from being a glutton with my virtual memory?

How can I STOP Firefox from being a glutton with my virtual memory?

Yes. But, I see from the THOUSANDS of responses here concerning Firefox memory issues that other people have had no more success than I have at trying to STOP Firefox's memory gluttony. The fact that Firefox runs fine (like the good old days) for a while after re-booting and registry cleaning shows that something is going on beyond the trivial/ineffective suggestions offered in the referenced links.
Having to re-boot several times a day to get Firefox out of the molasses is such a pain, that it's no wonder people are going back to IE, or like me, reluctantly relying more and more on Google Chrome.

Stopping exceptions from being handled earlier

Hi,
I am writing a program that uses some code that I wrote and some code that others wrote. In one part of the code, an exception often comes up in the part of code that other people wrote. They handle that exception themselves by printing the stack trace. However, I do not want the stack trace to be printed out. The exception is already handled so if I put in a catch block it does nothing.
Is there any way I can stop the exception from being caught or handled before? Or is there a way I can prevent the stack trace from being printed and call a different method if this exception was ever thrown or caught?
Thanks, and tell me if part of what I wrote was unclear then tell me.

Sky,
Your problem description is perfectly clear. 10/10.
But, Sorry.... It ain't good news.
1. The short answer is "No".
2. The longer and far more correct answer is "maybe", so long as the dodgy booger who wrote that code gave you the hooks which allow you to (a) supply an error handler; or (b) override the offending method by extending the class and reimplementing all it's constructors and that messy method, and you can change all the code which references that class to use your subclass... ie: Not bluddy likely.
3. The correct answer is of course: "Yes, anything is possible, just some things cost more than others"... Decompilers, Custom byte-code modifying class-loaders, A wee ASM to filter the JVM's
standard error stream... I can hear the boss now "What do you porkchops think you're playing at!".
I get the feeling that the stackTrace is just an annoyance factor, and it really isn't worth the effort to solve this problem. My advice is to learn to live with it.
Keith.

How do I stop texts from being seen on multiple devices on the same iTunes account

I just updated my iphone 4s to ios 6 and now my texts are being viewed on another iphone connected to the same itunes account. How do I stop this from happening??

Go into Settings -> Messages -> Send & Receive on the devices that your would not like to get your text messages to.
Then remove the email addresses that you would not like to be reached on, especially the one that is the same as your Apple ID.
Just leave the phone number there, and then the text messages should only appear on your iPhone 4s.

.DS_Store files on USB thumbdrives - a way to stop them from being created?

Hello!
Forgive me if this has been asked to death, but at school I need to copy homework files back and forth to the school's XP-based computers constantly. Because in any given day I usually update half a dozen files across the "homework" folder on my Powerbook, it's easier just to copy the entire folder (and its subfolders) to my 2-GB, FAT-32 formatted flash drive each night - all 500 files (and 150 MB). Of course, this also leaves hundreds of .DS_Store and ._filename files to clutter "Windows explorer" windows.
My question is how do I remove (and prevent creation of) these files selectively? I know that they are used by the finder to store thumbnails, spotlight comments, and labels. The big problem is that while I want to remove these files from the homework folder (and some other folders), I DO NOT want to remove them from a few other folders on the flash drive - which I use to make quick backups of files from my Mac.
I know that I can prevent OS X from creating them altogether with certain utilities, and I know that I can get third-party utilities that allow me to remove these files from flash drive and/or prevent the creation of the files for entire volumes, but is there something I can do to remove them from only certain folders?
Also, since I do not always know beforehand what directories I might make, I'd like to be able to create a "white list" of only certain directories (and their sub-directories)that won't be touched, while all others will have their ".DS_Store" and "._filename" files removed.
Finally, because I'm often a hurry when I go to copy files, I'd rather not sit there and run terminal commands or a program every time I copy a folder over to the flash drive. Is there some way to prevent them from being created in these certain folders altogether, automatically? An applescript or terminal command that I can program to run from the script menu perhaps? I don't mind opening a program or script, I just don't want to have to sit there manually removing the files.
Thanks,
-Dan

I had a similar problem awhile back and asked for help in the Applescript forum:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=954738&tstart=0
Unfortunately the revised jive software formatting function here in the forums has totally messed up things like posted scripts. What you'll see in the scripts discussed is no longer what was there originally. I just now put a copy of the script I'm using up in zip format here:
http://homepage.mac.com/francines/.Public/CopyStrip2Fat.zip
Unzip and open in Script Editor to get some idea of what it is really supposed to be. The idiot formatting of the revised jive software has replaced some things with a carriage return, a semi-colon, and close quote, thus rendering some lines meaningless.
To see the source of the script I quoted, see this MacOSXHints thread:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20040726164957299
The script is in the comment by cougar718. You might take a look at other comments as well.

What stops users from extracting the JAR, decompiling to get FTP details?

So I have made an applet to upload files to a server which uses FTp details. How can I stop them from getting the JAR file , extracting the files and decompiling the classes to get the FTP details.
When I sign the pplet, the process asks for a passwors, will the extraction process ask for this password?
Thanks

Hi,
From what I've seen the JAR file can be extracted easily with WinRar (or WinZip if you rename to .zip extension!). The signing just verifies that the contents of the jar haven't been changed by someone since it was created.
Heh it looks like we're working on the same problem...!
What I'm doing with my applet (based on the ZUpload applet from Sourceforge) is have it to read in the ftp connection params from an encrypted file. In my case the users are "semi trusted" so I am just trying to prevent someone casually lifting the ftp login and bypassing the applet. Obviously in theory someone could still decompile my classes and get the secret key then decrypt the params, but in my case this is unlikely to be a problem.
I'd love to hear if you find a better way!

Converting 2 channel audio from AVCHD to 5.1 audio for bluray

Hello,
I am looking to put AVCHD video files (*.MTS) containing 5.1 audio and 2-channel (stereo) audio onto bluray. I would like to convert the 2 channel audio to 5.1 audio, so that all of the files can be encoded onto bluray with 5.1 audio in Encore. I am using Premiere Pro CS6 version 6.0.3. I have tried to bring the MTS files into Premiere Pro, and convert stereo audio to 5.1 using Audition. However when the file is exported to Encore, upon transcoding there is no audio. Please let me know what is the best way to resolve this. Also, would I require something like Surcode plugin, or are there other ways to get around this? Thanks.

"Hi seaspray07,
"Hope this clarifies."
sorry it doesn't - it confuses me and I don't get why you want to do it this complicated way ;-)
1. If you have problems try to simplify your workflow. Why do you try to work with dynamic link in Encore? This isn't the classic route and I don't see why you need it in this case.
2. In a classical workflow you load final encoded audio and video files in Encore - in this case a .m4v and a .ac3 file encoded in Adobe Media Encoder.
3. To get this files you create a Premiere timeline with 5.1 master audio and load your clips onto it.
For all 5.1 clips Premiere will create a 5.1 audio track. For all stereo clips Premiere will create a stereo audio rack.
--> Keep in Mind you can't export a premiere audio track. That isn't possible even though this would be handy in a lot of situations. You alway only export the master audio track of a timeline. That master audio track get's it input from all audio tracks of a timeline. If there is a 5.1 audio track 6 channes are mixed to the master audio - if it's only a stereo track only L, R get's mixed up to the 5.1 master.
The master audio track is what you can hear if you play back a timeline.
4. Why do you want to convert stereo audio tracks into 5.1 audio tracks in the timeline? It needs much more filesize/ ram slows down your playback and gives you a unhandy viewing with lots of emty audio channels... Why dont store and view a stereo track as a stereo track?
5. If you have placed your stereo and 5.1 audio tracks on the timeline you can export the final mix via Adobe Media Encoder with the Surcode plugin as Dolby Digital 5.1 .ac3
"I sent the audio to Audition because I wanted to modify the audio file from stereo to 5.1, and bring it back into PrPro to combine with the video clip from the corresponding MTS file..."
That doesn't make any sense... because Premiere does it automatically for you without Audition. You simply have to do nothing - just place your stereo clip on the timeline and ready.
If you want to use Audition you have to have a real reason for it - for example do extensive audio work and mastering Tasks - conform it to R128 loudness or something like that.
Does this make sense to you? ;-)

Exporting 5.1 audio from Audition to single, multichannel audio file

I'm having problems exporting 5.1 audio. I need to be able to import a 5.1 (or 8 channel file, if left total and right total are included), edit one of the channels individually, and export the session to a single .WAV file containing 6 (or 8) separate channels.
So far, I've been able to split the original multichannel file to 6 mono files, and put them on their own tracks. But every time I try to export, I either end up with 6 channels (but only two with audio on them), or 6 completely blank channels. I've tried every combination of Mixdown Options and Master track routing I can think of, but to no avail.
I'm using Audition 7.0.0.118. Please help. If you respond, please be as specific as possible, since I'm a n00b at this. Thanks.

Are you opening the mono files into a 5.1 Multitrack session and using the surround panner to send them to the appropriate tracks?
What do you need to do to the one track that needs editing separately? You might be better off opening the audio as a multichannel file in the Waveform Edit view and do any processing on the one track there. You will then be able to save out to the same multichannel format as the original.
