Ducking music-track not working in preview

Tried ducking a music-track in several clips, but couldn't get it to work reliable. On the first clip it worked, on others volume level of the music-track stayed the same, whatever value I've set the ducking slider to.
After much experimenting and browsing the web, I found the following post by Winston Churchill:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6636047
He recommended to export the clip and check the final result. And in fact, the music level followed the setting in the exported movie.
So this is a bug in iMovie08. While it is not a big issue, if you know the ducking works on export, it can drive you nuts, if you rely on iMovies preview mode and can't get it to work.
And what makes me wondering even more, that this post is from Feb 18, 2008 and the bug is still present in June 2008.

hi there
i had a problem with my wifes iphone 4s, today morning while travelling to work i changed a setting on repeat option and changed it to repeat artist, it was fine until when i finish my work and on my way back i found songs are not playing anymore, lots of stop signs next to my song list, play/pause button not working, album arkwork keep moving from one to another on its own, so after i reach home i try to do some research on Apple support communities, try to soft reset my phone closing all the apps on background didnt work, also note that control centre music player was not working as well. none of the solutions worked. after trying for two hours i found out that the trouble is in repeat options , so i changed it from repeat artist to repeat off. and the music start playing as usual, but i still have those stop buttons next to the songs i tried to play earlier. At least it fixed temporarily. please also note that in the meantime i tried to sync my phone with the pc and suddenly its start syncing all the songs again assuming there were no songs on my iphone. so guys i think soft reset might not help all the time but try to remember what settings you changed recently and change it back to the original option, not sure ,but it might help.

2 moc packages conflicting and pidgin music tracker not working

Hi all, yesterday i installed moc from aur
extra/moc 2.4.4-2 [installed]
An ncurses console audio player with support for the mp3, ogg, and wave
formats
i tried setting up pidgin-music-tracker plugin to use moc, but it keeps staying in "Stopped" status
when launching moc, i was using mocp, so i tried running moc instead and nothing happens, shell freezes
this is what i've discovered
smau [~] $ moc -v
Qt Meta Object Compiler version 62 (Qt 4.6.3)
if i run man moc, it shows me the man for the music player
smau [~] $ mocp -V
moc 2.4.4 Build: May 20 2010 21:00:0
is this possible? what am i supposed to do about this conflicting and have pidgin music tracker working
thanks all!

extra/moc 2.4.4-2 [installed] tells you the package is coming from extra, not from AUR. Were you using yaourt?
You can search for the correct name of the version of moc on AUR there:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?O … arch=Aller
But the one from extra should be fine.
If you want to know the name of the binary (which is not the same as the name of the package)
As you pointed it, the name of the binary for the package moc is mocp. Use this command for calling it from third party software.
In general, if you wish to know the name of the binaries installed , run " pacman -Ql moc |grep bin "

Some PDFs not working in Preview. Mac created PDFS work but windows created PDFS dont

Some PDFs not working in Preview. I installed adobe reader and then deleted it because the software was aweful and PDFs have been haveing issues ever since. I can open up PDFs created on my Mac in preview just fine...
But when I try and open a PDF created on a windows computer it says:
"Please wait...

I am not sure why where the PDF was created would make a difference but couldnt help but notice that was the difference between the PDF files that work and the ones that give that message. I can view the PDFs on a windows computer just fine and never had issues untill adobe, it seems to have messed up PDFs on my Mac and I am so frustrated with them. I have searched my computer for any remaining adobe files, deleted them and restarted my computer but I am still getting this message.

Ios8 update music app not working

music app not working after ios8 update

I wanted to add something here that may or may not be accurate, since I was suffering the exact same issues (on an iPhone 6+, and replicated on an iPhone 5 patched to 8.0) you were describing Nick. In an effort to trouble shoot this I picked up one of the third party tools that allows you onto the iOS device file system. I've been trying since Friday night to reproduce the conditions that cause the issue but haven't quite narrowed it down. Including this here in case the Engineers are poking around in the discussion boards and are trying to reproduce this.
This is an iPhone 6+ running 8.0 (12A366) connecting physically to iTunes 11.4 on a MBP running 10.9.5 (13F34; fully patched).
Here's what I did last night and this seems to have worked (meaning, I can sync music now without issue at least for syncs this morning; will confirm tonight by syncing again):
Turned off iTunes Match on the iTunes library I am syncing from
Unchecked all non-AAC music files (Apple lossless and MPEG audio both; these were just flat out refusing to copy over, claiming to have copied but coming up with the exclamation point when accessed on the device via iTunes; none of these lossless or mp3 files have been an issue in any previous version of iOS, meaning they are all of the correct sample and bitrate to be used and can sync to other devices in the household running iOS 7)
Removed all music from the iOS device (by deselecting music syncing)
Hard rebooted the iOS device after disconnecting it; rebooted the iTunes library host
Reconnected the iOS device and fired up the third party app (this is the part I do not recommend, but I was eager to try to figure out what the root cause was)
Removed the iTunes library files on iOS (this is something I had done between other factory resets earlier to force the iOS device to rebuild the library; to rule out library corruption)
Removed any "music" folders remaining on the iOS device (this is also something I had done a few times which had had no effect)
Removed any saved artwork (this was something I had not done before, but I too had noticed a strange correlation between it stopping working and the artwork being synced)
Disconnected and rebooted the iOS device again (forcing a recreation of the iTunes library database files)
Reconnected the device and started syncing small playlists (50-100 songs). In increments it all seems to be syncing up now without issue
The two new steps this time around that seem, at least at initial glance, to have solved the problem are stopping syncing any non-AAC music media files and the deletion of the existing artwork folders on the iOS device. Syncing appears to be working, even after disconnecting and reconnecting the device.

5800 music library not working..

my 5800's music library is not working anymore and it cant play mp3 and other sound files.. but when i remove the memory card..it can play the sounds..also my picture editor is not working..
in my memory card..i found many folders namely _PAlbTN..is it a virus??
do I need to reformat my memory card?
and what do i haveto copy on my pc when i format it?
just the mp3 videos and pictures? or do I have to copy also the folders like private, sys, etc?
pls help..

That is a thumbnail file.
You can format the card if you want, but that would also bring problems on the apps if you do not uninstall them first as your phone will read then as not uninstalled properly and you wont be able to download them again from Ovi Store. So when you format it, just copy your own files (music, pictures, etc) and leave everything else alone.
How exactly does your music player not work anymore. Has it stopped showing songs? Cant it refresh?

IPhone 5 Music search not working on some tracks.

I bought the iphone5, backed up all my apps and data on iTunes to from my iPhone 4, then transferred everything over. The problem is that the search feature is not working in Music. For example, I try to seach for a song that I know is there, but no results appear. Other songs are searchable, but I've randomly seached for songs that exist and am finding a lot of misses. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

'show icon preview' not working, Icon preview no longer visible

I have lots of folders full of jpg files. The preview icon do longer appears and all i get is the genetic icon. This happened randomly yesterday and I don't know how to fix it. I have the 'Show Icon Preview' enabled yet I only get the generic icon. Any ideas why? (OS X 10.5.8). I have tried a restart, permissions fix, and reindexed my hard drive with spotlight. No luck. Please help!
Simply: I don't know how to get the preview back even after selecting the "show icon preview" box on the options. HELP!

There probably are some hidden probable causes for this behavior;
while not knowing if you perform any general maintenance in a
preventative way for your OS X system, some of the suggestions
I could provide here may mean little or nothing to some users, or
to others, who have done them for years as a matter of course, to
suggest those could be the same as an insult; or a laughing matter.
You could try rather basic things, a few steps above 'repair disk
permissions' in Disk Utility. That's been around since OS 10.1.5.
And it has a place among other steps one can do to help out.
Sometimes, you can start up into SafeBoot mode; then choose to
run Disk Utility, and repair disk permissions. When done, quit D.U.
and restart the computer normally. - Other repairs to the system may
be performed by booting up from the OS X installer and run Disk
Utility from the menu drop-down options in the main Installer window.
You can repair disk, verify disk (SMART verify), repair disk permissions
and verify disk permissions. Plus other aspects of Disk utility that are
tools to set up partitions and other things beyond a basic simple fix.
SafeBoot mode, basic:
+Hold the Shift key down on start-up, keep holding it until you get a login+
+screen, enter admin password, then when desktop appears, you can+
+use GO in menu bar to find Utilities folder, and run Disk Utility's repair+
+disk permissions. When done, quit the Utility and restart.+
There probably may be some .plist file controlling the view of image icons
and since I haven't followed that issue (experienced it in the past, forgot
what I did to fix it) I am not sure what preference file to suggest trashing.
But you can be very selective, when knowledgeable, and do that. Then,
later on, when you restart the computer the default setting would return.
You could set that to whatever (if not the default) & that may fix the matter.
{One preference file location that probably would contain your user account's
.plists would be in the Macintosh HD> User folder> Library> Preferences>
...Now, the correct one among these becomes important. There is a desktop
plist, a finder plist, and others. Since each user in a Mac with their own setup
account can change these, yours should be in your booted user account.
However, some time has passed since this kind of issue occurred and I didn't
need to delete a .plist to resolve it. Yet that may be a short fix.}
These issues usually have a cause; sometimes it may be due to other items
not quite right in the user interface and symptoms of that sometimes show up
in odd places and they may not be directly related. Subtle and dismissed, a
few of those quirks are not show stoppers in OS X. A 'safeboot' & disk utility
may resolve some; to find a correct .plist preference file & trash it may, too.
If the computer's hard disk drive is getting full of content you have added, it
may be time to archive image libraries and/or music libraries off the Mac's
internal hard disk drive and then thin out content on the computer. That can
help a computer run better. Damage to data on the computer drive may be
a result (or outright is) of over-filling the hard disk drive. Overwriting content
is sometimes an issue; it could be subtle, too, for awhile. Checked into it?
For some preventative maintenance chores, I have and use OnyX which is
a free running utility tool (which I refer to as a utility interface tool) that pulls
the strings in OS X that some users would not think of the Terminal utility
ways of making them work; this gives you a GUI format, an application to
run various sets of items rather easily. If done without concern, these tools
can do bad things (same as booted Disk Utility, drastic tools are onboard.)
OnyX is a free-running downloadable app from Titanium Software; and since
I only use it maybe once every several months (or sooner if bored or if active
in using one computer more than usual) & have it run in Automation selection
having chosen all the check-box choices, so it will do those. I also have OnyX
set in its preferences, to restart the computer after it is done running those.
This may do more than you need in this selection of Automation. I have never
had any issues with this; but some preference choices system-wide may need
to be set back to your choice, as it can be also set to wipe caches or other old
logs and misc stuff. A few settings won't make much different to default from.
Usually, I prefer not to shut off or restart my computer until such time as when
Activity Monitor shows some issue with virtual memory and swap files or space
on the hard drive being excessively allocated as Virtual Memory. At times, a
restart may be required. My Mac can run a few months without restart, but it is
left to sleep or I will put it to sleep. Even so, some basic background OS X items
may not automatically run as they should. You can force the maintenance cycles.
If the 'show icon preview' does not work even after performing catch-up maintenace
and including OnyX, SafeBoot, and others; and if you have at least 30% of the total
hard disk drive capacity open or free from use, then you may have to consider a few
other ideas. (Removing the plist file may be the only thing you'd need do.) Another
idea in a few cases of more severe odd behavior, and if you updated your Leopard
10.5 to your current/last level through use of the Delta or small update file, would be
to get the larger Combo (last version) and after repairing disk permissions, install it
over the similar system in your computer. 10.5.8 over 10.5.8. Then restart and go in
and repair disk permissions again. Perhaps later on, safeboot and do them.
That much effort is seldom needed. Preventative maintenance and care to not over-
fill the hard disk drive, helps to almost never see such a problem in your Mac OS X.
{In a few cases, people who have upgraded from an earlier OS X version (Tiger-to-
Leopard, for example) and had a problem, may still have a similar problem later. So
it is best to fix issues and not hope to upgrade over them. Unless it is a totally new
bare-bones secure zero-overwritten drive, correct partition map, reformat, new install.
Then, there should be no doubt if there was an odd problem in the software, only.}
Hopefully some of this late night rambling may be of some help.
+Answering a question in these forums can be like replying to a+
+statement thus, "why won't my car go?" And an answer starts+

Forms built in Acrobat not working in Preview!?

I've built a form in Acrobat Professional (with text fields and radio buttons) that we want to fill out with Preview. The idea is to open the pdf with Preview, fill it out and in the Print dialogue, to "mail as pdf". Then if you close the original pdf without saving changes. it remains a template you can re-use anytime you wish.
This would all work fine except some of the text fields seem to radomly decide not to work when the pdf is opened with Preview. I've tried going back in Acrobat to delete the field and re-create another - that didn't work - same issue. I tried deleting the field, then copy and paste a field that does work in its place. Not only does that not work, it renders BOTH fields unusable!
Any ideas?

If the field works in Acrobat Reader but not Preview, then it's probably Preview's problem. Preview supports a subset of PDF features and an older version than the Adobe apps. From other similar questions seen in the forums, the best solution is to distribute a current, free Adobe Reader to everyone who needs to fill out the form.
Either that or get Apple to keep Preview reasonably full-featured and up-to-date, because today it is neither, and Adobe Reader 8 is nearly as fast or faster than Preview.
