Error message - 8 bit files?

I am trying to load a file but when it load I get an error message saying there are 8 files that cannot be played because they are in 8 bit format.  However, ALL THESE FILES WERE RECORDED IN LOGIC.  I know they worked at one time because I even bounced the project several times while I was working on it.
I would like to know how Logic would all of the sudden read files as 8 bits and how I might be able to fix it.  Thank you for any help you may have!

Sometimes I start projects on my internal hard drive and move them to the external.  I do not recall if that happened in this instance or not.  But  ihave done it before without issue.
All the recording files are in .caf format
Don't know what to tell you, I always use Broadcast WAV format. If Logic is showing the 8-bit message it almost always means it doesn't recognize or can't read the file "header". This is the part of the file that is a description of the content format, length...etc.
What have you upgraded since using this file? The operating system, Logic?
A possible workaround is to load the files into another program (Amadeus?) and resave them.. or....you might try importing one of them into Logic (as a test) and see if it could be resaved or saved in a different format like aif or wav.

  • The Error Message 'Application descriptor file cannot be parsed' shows when compiling (Ctrl + Enter) Adobe AIR for Android applications on Flash Professional CS5.5

    The Error Message 'Application descriptor file cannot be parsed' shows when compiling (Ctrl + Enter) Adobe AIR for Android applications on Flash Professional CS5.5
    This is happening for most of the pupils and staff at our school and they are unable to complete their work.
    This also happens on a fresh copy of windows and CS5.5 without any updates and also with all latest updates.
    I have tried it on 32-bit and 64-bit CS5, Windows, Air and Java with the same error every time.
    There are a small minority of users where this works fine for them with no issue.
    I have tried re-setting user profiles.
    I have tried a local admin and domain admin account with the same issue
    I have noticed however that if the file is moved to the shared area it will compile. If it is on their documents area it will not compile. The users have full control in both locations. This is fine for staff but we are unable to give full control or modify access to the shared area for the pupil's
    I have been through the online support section and it directed me to phone Adobe Customer care who informed me that all support has been discontinued for CS5, CS5.5 and CS6 and they will only support creative cloud.
    Any ideas what to try next? There is no other information about this error and I cannot work out what is causing it.

    I have tried and  able to package an apk using your XML file.Could you please make sure your XML file starting from line 1 and coloumn 0.Any space will results in the error (Application Descriptor file cannot be parsed)

  • Garageband error message 8 bit

    Garageband had been doing well for us, until the other day when sharing to ITunes, an error message saying, 'unsupported file type, files found at 8 bit...', and i've tried everything to change the file types even online, to reset preferences, including the 'audio midi' and so on.  Still it says that this song, which had previously been successfully uploaded to ITunes, etc., and which we're now re-mixing, will not let us do anything as far as saving or changing to 16 bits and so on. What is going on, please? How may we fix it?   Thanks!
    basically: how can i send the song to itunes where it can be converted to an mp3, since the error message occurs 'wrong file type ..8 bit' when i try to send the newly edited song to itunes.
    i have, which is not on the list, a macbook pro 10.5.8 and garageband 08 4.1.2

    Some of my aif files are not recognized by any player for some reason. All I did was transfer to an external then back to my new hard drive after it was installed. Does anybody know what could happen to an aif file to not make it open?
    Do your files have the extension showing? If not, you could experiment adding extensions like .aif, .aiff and see if that makes a difference, and also slide the files directly onto the Quicktime icon, forcing Quicktime to open it if it possibly can.
    I was curious about this so I checked it out. The Wikipedia page lists a few issues that could cause problems:

    Other than that, the only thing I can think of is file corruption.

  • Error message "A duplicate file name was specified"

    Every time I open iTunes or attempt to make a purchase, I get the error message "A duplicate file name was specificed. There was an error in the iTunes Stores. Please try again later."
    It started when I tried to download a book a few days ago.
    I do not have any plugins installed, so there are none to remove/disable. I'm running the most recent version of iTunes (11.0.5) for Windows 7 (64-bit). I tried clearing the iTunes cache to no avail.

    Try and unchecking Manually manage music and videos on the summary page in iTunes. To get there, just go to ____'s iPod, scroll down, and it should be there. You can then check any other boxes (or uncheck) that you think might help you. That box might have automatically checked itself after the update. Also, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes by going to the apple in the top left hand corner, and clicking software update.

    Travel and detours have kept me from following up sooner. If the problem that you wrote about still persists.....
    Let us go back over that Adobe document regarding troubleshooting damaged projects.
    3. Delete the Application Preferences
    Where you able to follow that path and delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file at the end of the path? And, after you did, did the saved/closed programs still refuse to open? If you could not carry out this procedure, what were the limiting factors that kept you from do
    7. Test to see if individual media files are causing the problem.
    That is an important one. How far did you get into following the instructions given in the document? If you could not complete the test, what was the major block that prevented you from doing so?
    I want to make sure that we have gone through everything in that document and ruled all factors there in or out. If it was a matter of you not understanding the instructions, I am hoping that the above will channel you questions to me so that I can clarify anything that you did not understand in the Adobe document instructions.
    I do not recall if I asked previously. Even if you cannot open all your saved/closed projects, can you still open a new project and save/close it? Maybe even reopen it?
    Please review and consider.
    Thank you.

  • After editing a photo, I sometimes get an error message that the "File is empty".  Can revert to original and start again, but file disappears after editing.

    So frustrating!  I open the photo.  Edit by cropping, adjusting color, etc.  It's perfect.  I click DONE and move on to the next.  When I come back, the first photo is gone.  I can see it in the album but cannot open it.  When I look at the file information, it shows zero KB.  If I move it to the desktop and try to open it, the error message says the file is empty.  I can revert to original and there it is.  Edit again, and again it disappears.  What am I doing wrong?  I am using iPhoto 09

  • Error message "cannot locate file"

    I purchased a new computer and used Detto Intelli Mover to transfer all my music files. When I opened the library, they all appeared to be there, but when I try to plan anything I get an error message "cannot locate file" This happens with all of my 1,200 songs. The error message also says "would you like to look", but I am unable to locate then. Can anyone help with this?

    Have you added all the songs to the library? Just by dragging and dropping?

    Apple's advice on this issue can now be found here: TS5376: iTunes 11.1.4 for Windows: Unable to install or open.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See the user tip Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy for a suggested strategy.
    If you have difficulty downloading the iTunes setup file try clearing your browser's cache or using an alternate browser.
    If content is missing from the library following the repair see Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash.
    For device connectivity issues following the repair see TS1538: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows, in particular section 5.
    MobileMe is a discontinued service and should be removed if present. See HT2992: MobileMe: Uninstalling the MobileMe Control Panel for Windows for details.

  • Download error message - "Cannot Create File"

    Recently I developed a problem and am unable to download anything (files, software, etc) from any website. I begin a download, the download manager comes up and it shows an error message "Cannot Create File." I am using the default manager that is incorporated in OS X 10.3.9.
    I never had a problem until a week or so ago when I downloaded a software demo. I decided to get the full software package and trashed the demo files per the company's instructions. I got the error message when I tried to download the full program and now get the message no matter what I attempt to download. Might I have trashed a file I wasn't supposed to trash?
    I tried installing 10.3.9 again on my main drive but still have the problem. If I use an external hard drive with spare copy of 10.3.9 and make that my start up drive, I can download files successfully.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
