Effects Won't Work on Bus/Sends

Hello all,
I've got a problem getting effects plug-ins to work on the buses in one of my songs.
Here's the deal:
I have 8 bus objects in the environment. Inside the arrange window, I have vocals on two Audio tracks. I've created two bus channels in the arrange window and to each added an FX plug-in, SilverVerb (Bus 3) on one and DJ EQ (Bus 2) on the other.
On each of the Audio tracks, I added a post fader send to each bus. Everything was working fine the first day when I saved the song and shut down Logic Pro.
The next day I started Logic and opened the song to continue where I left off and the effects buses would not work. No matter what level I set the sends on the audio tracks to, there are no FX added to the sound - it's just dry.
I do not have the Plug-ins bypassed (I checked more than once), the gain is all the way up in DJ EQ and the 'Wet' percentage is at 100% in SilverVerb. What could the problem be?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Okay, I figured out what the problem is and my being an idiot was a big part of it.
I realised that I had the output on the buses in the arrange window set to the bus itself. So, for example, the I/O on Bus 2 which contained the DJ EQ was actually set to Bus 2, instead of 3-4 (which is what I use for my main stereo and Front L/R outs). I don't remember changing that, but I must have.
Anyhow, thanks anyway for trying to help.

Ken burns effect won't work

hi everyone
i'm trying to export a slideshow into a quicktime movie maintaining the ken burns effect, but the quicktime movie file won't show the effect - even if in the slideshow settings the "automatic ken burns effect" is ticked on (when i watch the slideslow on the screen, before exporting it, the effect is there).
do you have any suggestions?
another question: can you recommend a picture size? the quicktime movie will be, together with a video created qith FCE, on a dvd.
thanks guys in advance

Did you try the other account approach that GLO suggested? That can tell you if it's a system wide issue or just one associated with your particular account.
What you should have is your Receipts folder, other that those two subfolders, are many .pkg files which represent software that has been installed on your Mac. Those packages tell the Software Update and other installers what version is already installed so it can decide if an update is required.
Have you tried using the Share->Send to iDVD menu option to get the slideshow into iDVD?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

Effects won't work on Text in After Effects

I must be missing some crucial step because I can't get effects to work on my text. I downloaded After Effects CC. I write text, put a solid, ramped background, add an effect, add a keyframe for the effect and see nothing. I copy what tutorials tell me. Nothing. Should if be difficult to see these effects? I tried CC Light Rays and Light Sweep. Just any effect in general won't apply to a text. I can't see it in FULL rendering or in Half/Rough Draft (which is where I want to work).

See this section of After Effects Help:
"Limitations of the Ray-traced 3D renderer"

Ken Burns effect won't work with imovie 6.0.3

I'm hopeful to find a way to use the Ken Burns effect in my 6.0.3 HD imovie. Does anyone have a solution to this problem? I can't get it to work.

Did you empty iMovie's trash after creating your clips? Did you previously apply the Ken Burns effect to that particular clip and now want to change the settings?
If you already had the clip/photo imported using the Ken Burns effect, and then emptied the trash, you cannot redo the KB settings. It is a bug in iMovie. You will get the black frame when you try. The only thing you can do is reimport the photo.
Here is an explanation of the problem (Thanks to Matti Haveri) :http://www.sjoki.uta.fi/~shmhav/iMovieHD_6_bugs.html#stillupdate

Effects won't work.

I've been using this program since around August for and it has worked fine up until now. Whenever I apply an effect, it renders, but then when I try to play it, the screen goes black. I've tried to apply the effect in a different project file, I've also tried to do it in another account on the computer. Neither worked. If anyone could give me any other suggestions as to how to fix this problem, that would be fantastic. Thanks.

Hi
Most common origin is either
• less than 5Gb free space on internal start-up hard disk - free up 25Gb or more
• error in iMovie pref file - trash this and iMovie is cured (it makes a new error free one)
else read
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows.*
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Delete iMovie pref file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and re-try
iMovie pref file resides.
Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences
and is named. *com.apple.iMovie.plist *
While iMovie is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iMovie.
• Hard disk is untidy. Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Garageband-fix. Start it, Play a note and Close it. Re-try (Corrects an audio problem that hinders iMovie)
• Screen must be set to Million-colors
• Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08 or 09)
iMovie updated ?
QuickTime updated ?
Mac OS version ?
• Program miss-match. iMovie 5.0.2, up to Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK
• Program miss-match. iMovie 6.0.3 or 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match. iMovie’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.4.1 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
From LKN 1935. (in this case = iMovie HD (5), I tried it all, but nothing worked.
Your answer (above) has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that
there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled
iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos)
to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before.

I run "Cache Out X", clear out all caches and restarts the Mac.

My slow motion effect won't work... HELP ME!!!

I really need some help here. The original version of Imovie that came with my OS X worked great when it came to adding the effect of slow motion with the little bar at the bottom. I just recently purchased the Ilife 05 package and was all excited to get editing... but now I can't get the slow motion effect to work at all. It does all the rendering of the clip but the effect does not appear in my time line!!! What is wrong??? Please help me!!!

Hey Karsten... I'm back again...
Yes you guessed correctly... but I never want to see another pc in my life. Now about my prob... I did as you said and still nada. I wish the upgraded version in the Ilife 05 package still had the slow motion control at the bottom of the main screen like in the prior version, but they have taken it off of the main screen and placed in the special effects folder as "fast/slow/reverse". and it is here that it slows the clip down in the preview and renders the clip with the red bar on the main time line. But the red bar on the bottom of the clip in the time line doesn't move and ofcourse the clip is not put in slow motion.
My brother is quite savy with Mac as well and he can't figure it out either. What do you think???

Slow down effect won't work...

I recently upgraded to iMovie HD and when I try to use the slow down effect it renders it but it stays the same clip. Any suggestions on what is causing this?

You're not alone.
Unfortunately that's the only thing I can say and do for you...
Numerous posts deals with this bug. We can state that it appears in those cases:
- Ilife'05
- MiniDV film importation
This effect was so funny and usefull in previous versions of ilife.

Even number bus sends to Aux objects don't work

This is a strange problem, but I am new to logic. I think I have the whole bus/aux thing figured out, thanks to many explanations. Any help on this behavior would be nice...
Here's my setup:
Pretty simple song - 12 tracks recorded live
3 stereo buses on bus 1-2, 3-4, 5-6 - used as groups for vox/drum/instrument submix - all work fine with some group compression, eq, etc. I set the individual channels to output to the buses. The bus outputs go to Out 1-2
One stereo Aux (1-2) - fed by bus 7-8 from the individual drum tracks - no input from bus send 8 (left side of the aux only working) - trying to do stereo parallel compression - don't really care if panning gets screwed up yet - but need to figure that out somehow.
5 Effects Aux channels
All are mono Aux with m->s effects, output to Out 1-2.
Aux 3 - Long delay (fed by bus 9) works fine
Aux 4 - Vox verb (fed by bus 10) - never gets an input
Aux 5 - Vox super short delay/chorus (fed by bus 11) works fine
Aux 6 - Instrument verb (fed by bus 12) - never gets an input
Aux 7 - Drum verb (fed by bus 13) - works fine
I have tried deleting all of the aux's in the environment and recreating them - still get the same behavior.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

It could be that you have Universal Track Mode disabled.
Under the Audio Menu, go to "Audio Hardware & Drivers", and make sure it's enabled.
See if that's it...

Why is it that each time I upgrade my iPad, half of my apps won't work properly but worst of all my email won't send after the latest "patch" today, wake up Apple I am a new user and getting sick of this problems

WHy is it that each time I get an upgrade some of my Apps won't work when they did with the previous version. I have just upgraded to v7.01 and now I cannot send email, wake up Apple and get it right as I am a new user of Apple technology and not impressed.

That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

How do I send am iMessage to a friend that has an iPad device? She is in my contacts but when I enter her name it won't work. (*note she has no other apple devices.)

Has she registered her e-mail address and/or phone number with iMessage? Are you using the same one that she registered?
She should open Settings > iMessage and make sure that it's set up.
