Files Are Skipped Upon Initiation of Playback

A lot of my files were displaying inaccurate time lengths and inaccurate bit rates for VBR files in my iTunes library on my PC until I used a program called VBRFix to solve this part of a problem. However, after running all of these files through VBRFix, the vast majority of them are now just being skipped when being attempted to play on my iPod (but not in iTunes on my PC -- in iTunes everything is fine). When I attempt to play them on my iPod, it just skips through all of the tracks on all of the affected albums and goes back to the iPod's main menu and does not play anything. Is there a way to fix this without having to re-encode every file?

I seem to have fixed the problem on my own. I deleted everything on my iPod and then copied all of the files in my library from my PC back onto it. I think that after I updated/fixed all of my files, the Sync feature wasn't detecting that these files were actually modified and left the old improperly-working, outdated versions of them on there.

Files are skipped

Hi,
in my scenario where we used to process files of 300 mb of files.The file is split to 10 mb each using the scripts and then processed. Here like out of 30 files only 20 files are processed some of the files are skipped. No message is created in SXMB_MONI or there is no error in sender Communication Channel in RWB. all the files are archived in the archive directory. What may be the reason for not creating message.

Hi,
This is very strange!
Did you checked message monitoring in adapter engine (not in integration engine)
goto RWB->Message monitoring->adapter engine and check messages for "Holding", "Waiting" "All containing errors" and "to be delivered" you must find your file/message there.
If no message is created in SXMB_MONI then it is clear they are somewhere in Adapter engine.

Local Files are deleted upon disconnecting from project

Running Version Cue CS3 3.1.0 with latest Bridge. (PowerMac G5 - OSX 10.4.11)
Im running the VC server on my local machine. Intention is for only myself to use it for version control.
I created a project, added my files... the standard local file path is ~/Documents/Version Cue/projectname
2 issues, perhaps the same issue
whenever i attempt to disconnect from the project... the local files are deleted...
so, if i had set a custom path for my projects local files, VC immediately deletes the files, and next time trying to connect, the local file path is reset to the ~/Documents/Version Cue/projectname
Is this how VC is supposed to function?
Any help or insight is greatly appreciated!!! Thank you in advance

ITunes Plus files are skipped

I've updated most of my iTunes purchases to iTunes plus and I saw the same long processing time that others saw. Mine all finished OK though. However some of them now will not play in iTunes and are just skipped over.
Strangely they will play in Quicktime and also in Get info->preview.
I also found that if I skipped the first second of the file (using iTunes->Get info->options) then the file played. Weird! Support let me download again and the latest copies were exactly the same. In the end they gave me a credit.
Anyone else having these problems? I had about 7 files out of maybe 30 or 40 gop bad. They were a variety of artists.

My guess is that in the rush to get all the millions of tracks re-encoded, the record companies delivered some bad ones. Probably not surprising given the massive number of tracks involved. Even prior to the big iTunes Plus conversion, a bad track (or several) would appear from time to time. I would hope that at least the majority of tracks with problems will be replaced over the next several weeks. I'd suggest waiting a few weeks before you attempt to re-purchase these particular tracks, should you wish to, to allow time for them to, we hope, be replaced with good copies.

Music Files are skipping

Hi,
I recently purchased the iPod classic (80G). Previously i had the iPod before.
It seems now that a lot of my music skips either back to the beggining or to the next track about 20-30 secs through the track. i Read on here that the way to combat this would be to convert all my files from AAC to MP3. I tried this and although it seems to have worked for many of my files, the files i have purchased on iTunes are 'Locked' stopping me from converting them. Is there a way around this? Also, is MP3 the best format to convert to? i'm not too woried about space but am about quality.
Also, the same thing seems to be happening to my movie files, some that i've purchased through iTunes and some that i haven't. What can i do about this?
Please help!

If you can't play the individual songs on the iPod (not skipping past sequentially in a playlist), that means the songs ae corrupt and you have to delete them and resync them to your iPod.

Why are mysterious dk.html files automatically downloading upon launch of newly updated Safari Version 5.1.7 (6534.57.2)?

Why are mysterious dk.html files automatically downloading upon launch of newly updated Safari Version 5.1.7 (6534.57.2)? I updated last night and ever since, these files download as soon as I launch Safari.

I've gotten these from multiple web sites, including Drudge and National Journal.
It is my opinion that this behavior is a side effect of the latest Java update. Until this latest update, Apple has maintained its own version of Java. The latest update is Oracle Java.
Apple's note on the Java for Mac OS X 10.6 update 11 includes this:
On systems that have not already installed Java for Mac OS X 10.6 update 9 or later, this update will configure web browsers to not automatically run Java applets. Java applets may be re-enabled by clicking the region labeled "Inactive plug-in" on a web page. If no applets have been run for an extended period of time, the Java web plug-in will deactivate.
Looking at the innards of one file downloaded, it appears to be a JavaScript beacon from advertising.com for rubiconproject.com. These files are used to track web browsing activity. I suspect that this Java changed the way the beacon is served and Safari.

Bug renaming file upon initial import?

I'm trying to set LR to import and rename my files under the following convention:
YYYYMMDD_(custom text)_(original file suffix)
I.e. DSC_0023.NEF would become 20080229_ABC_0023.NEF in LR.
I'm finding that LR names the files 20080229_ABC_.NEF, 20080229_-1.NEF, 20080229_ABC_-2.NEF, 20080229_ABC_-3.NEF, etc. so it's not retrieving the file suffix properly.
However, when I select the files again and use the (F2) Library|Rename facility, the files are renamed properly. So this seems to be a problem just on the initial import from the device. Obviously the workaround exists, but is dependent on remembering to do that before I do other things like backup the original files to other drives and has been a problem in the past.
Any ideas if this is a bug or something I'm not doing right? Apologies if this has been reported before -- I tried searching.
Thanks!

Metagen is skipped sometimes complaining because all output files are up-to-date with respect to the input files

Hi,
In one of my dll (VS2010), the process Skipping target "MetaGen" because all output files are up-to-date with respect to the input files.
it is at random. I have checked the time stamps of the dll and metagen.write.1.tlog both having the time stamp on the failed build. But all files in release folder did not have the same time. They are one hour earlier than the dll
and the metagen.write.1.tlog.
On the good build it said the input file is is newer than output file ".\Release\\metagen.write.1.tlog" and allfiles in the release folder have same time stamp.
Any clue to solve this ?

AppleScript to skip Automator workflow step - when no files are provided

My current Automator workflow:
Get Specified Finder Items (path to folder auto-populating with images from a camera)
Get Folder Contents
Sort Finder Items - by Creation Date in descending order (gets oldest item first)
Limit Number of Items - Limit to First 1 items
Move Finder Items (If no items are passed to this step skip it)
Loop - Automatically; Stop after 20 minutes; Use the original input
What I am trying to accomplish:
I'm trying to write an AppleScript to skip the "Move Finder Items action" when it is not supplied with any files (from the previous workflow step), moving on to the next step which is a loop to begin my workflow again.
Big picture:
I have a workflow, where I am moving files from one folder to another folder (one at a time). When the input folder is empty, Automator comes back with "No item references were passed to the Move Finder Items action (-50)"; which it should - because it is not passed any files. I would like to ignore this error (or skip this step) and continue with the workflow if no files are provided to the "Move Finder Items action". I currently have an AppleScript (see below) that stops the workflow when this error occurs, but I would like to have this flow continue, not stop.
AppleScript:
on run {input, parameters}
          if input is {} then error number -128 -- 'user cancelled'
          return input
end run
Please help me create a script to skip this step, or to restart the Automator workflow when no files are passed to the "Move Finder Items action".

I'm not aware of a way to do this with a workflow saved as an application, but Automator is scriptable, so you can manipulate a workflow document. For an example, build the follwing workflow:
Ask for Text (just to get some input)
Run AppleScript:
on run {input, parameters}
set currentAction to index of current action of front workflow -- the most recent completed action
if input is {} then -- if no input then disable the following action
    tell Automator action index (currentAction + 2) of front workflow to set enabled to false
else -- enable it
    tell Automator action index (currentAction + 2) of front workflow to set enabled to true
end if
return input
end run
Ask for Confirmation (just to show a dialog when enabled - this action will be enabled/disabled based on the text input)
Loop
You can also use action names, but I think it is less confusing to use indexes, since names can be edited and an action can be used more than once.

Upon creating a new catalog, all files are renamed with a postfix: "-2"?

My catalog was corrupted, and i decided to create a new catalog from cratch.
To my big surprise alle falenames was renamed from IMG_xxxx.cr2 to IMG_xxxx-2.cr2. Why?
This is i problem sice i still god the old catalog, and try to recover some of the old editorial settings, but since alle files are renamed the are no longer visible in the old catalog. just about 15.000 files are renamed!

Lightroom only adds suffixes when it finds files of the same name in a location it's moving or copying too.
What option did you use on Import? Copy/Add/Move?

ITunes Videos (Both Movies and TV Shows) are skipping/ studdering.

iTunes Videos (Both Movies and TV Shows) are skipping/ studdering.
These videos were taken from my hard drive, converted with Format Factory, then placed in itunes.
ON ipad the videos playback perfectly, but in itunes itself it fails drastically.
Same problem happens with quicktime. If i open these videos up with quicktime, it studders and skips, while if i open it with VLC, it works fine.
I have already disabled 3d acceleration, which helped a very small bit.
The Rest of itunes runs smoothly, just video playback is screwed
Specs:
HP Envy 14
Intel i5 quad core processor 2.53 ghz
6 gb ddr3 ram
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
Itunes 10.5.1
Quicktime 7.7.1

Update
It turns out that the reason for not playing TV shows and movies is not the network.
Something happened with the files while copying them from the Macbook to the NAS station.
I noticed that after copying a TV show from the NAS Station back onto the Macbook Air drive; it was not possible to import that file into iTunes. iTunes ignored importing that file.
On the other side the TV shows will be played by Quicktime, either from the NAS station or from the Macbook.
It might be important to mention that the NAS station is not OSX formatted.
Does someone know what happened ?

"Backup cancelled because all files were skipped"

Hi
I am performing database backup using the following command:
run {
allocate channel c1 device type disk;
backup incremental level 0 database plus archivelog delete input;
release channel c1;
restore database validate;
upon checking the RMAN logs, it finishes and I can tell that it is a good backup. I can also list the backup pieces that had just been backed up. after this step, i want to backup the flash_recovery_area to tape, i used this command:
run {
allocate channel t1 device type sbt;
BACKUP RECOVERY AREA;
DELETE OBSOLETE DEVICE TYPE sbt;
release channel t1;
when i do this, i get this message from the logs, and i dont see any backups on tape:
------LOGS-------
allocated channel: t1
channel t1: SID=503 device type=SBT
channel t1: Oracle Secure Backup
Starting backup at 23-JUL-11
Specification does not match any archived log in the recovery catalog
Specification does not match any datafile copy in the repository
Specification does not match any backupset in the repository
backup cancelled because all files were skipped
Finished backup at 23-JUL-11
RMAN retention policy will be applied to the command
RMAN retention policy is set to recovery window of 7 days
no obsolete backups found

i dont understand why i am getting this message where in fact, i have archivelog, datafile and backupset backed up in my FRA. Any ideas?
Thanks!

JPG files are being erased by PE 5 Organizer

I have experienced a weird incident with Photoshop Element 5.0, to which I
couldn't believe until I could reproduce it: *the PE Organizer erases all
*.JPG files in the pictures' directory I am working on when closing under
certain conditions.* You will find in appendix the report of the tests I
have been running.
The procedure that leads to files being deleted is the following:
- Initial state: PE 5.0 Editor and Organizer inactive. The directory
contains 2 JPG files (IMG_0177a.JPG). The files in the directory are sorted
by file type.
1. Open PE 5.0 Organizer.
2. Select picture IMG_0022.CR2.
3. Click on "Go to full edit". The directory still contains the 2 .jpg
files.
4. Save the file after edit as IMG_0022.DNG. The directory still contains
the 2 .jpg files.
5. Click on "Open image". The directory still contains the 2 .jpg files.
6. Save the picture as IMG_0022.JPG. The directory contains now 3 .jpg
files.
7. Close the file in the Editor. The directory still contains the 3 .jpg
files.
8. Click onto the Organizer window to give it the focus. The directory
still contains the 3 .jpg files.
9. Close the Organizer. The 3 .jpg files are no longer in the directory.
The appendix shows more details (screenshots) of my tests (see tests 1 and
3).
I couldn't find any configuration in PE that can cause this behaviour. I
could also find no mention of it on your support site. Could you please
help me?
- Is that behaviour made possible through a configuration preference or is
it a known bug?
- If it is a bug, is there a fix for it?
- If not, how else can I avoid such deletions?
- If I store the .JPG files in a subdirectory of that where the raw photo
files are stored, can I be sure that the JPG files will never be erased
through that behaviour?
I have just experienced that incident only this fall because I have just
installed PE 5.0 and started processing raw photo files recently (I had PE
4 up to then).
My configuration:
- PC with Windows XP Pro SP3 and all updates installed. 1.5 GB RAM. Drive
C: is 37 GB, free space is 13 GB.
- I got PE 5.0.2 with my Canon camera I bought in January 2008. I installed
the update in August 2012. No add-on SW has been installed to PE.
- I store my photo files on a NAS disk (La Cie 1 TB, free space: 203 GB)
and use another NAS disk for backup copies (that backup disk is only
running for backups; it was never running when I experienced the incident
below).
- My photo files are stored in directories organized by date and event. Up
to now, I have been storing all types of photo files in one directory per
event (.CR2, .JPG, .DNG).
Best regards
Dominique

Not sure why this is happening this way but may be closing PSE processes which access and work upon files in the background might make a difference.
Please launch Organizer and click Edit >> Preferences >> Media Analysis and turn off all checkboxes.
From the task manager, kill the following exes if running-
ElementsAutoAnalyzer
Adobe Photoshop File Agent
Dynamic Link Manager
repeat your workflow and check if the issue still happens.
Thanks

Skips & Scratch Noises during playback ...

I am all of a sudden getting skips & scratch noises during playback on certain albums during playback on Itunes and it transferred over to my ipod ... What could be causing this and how can I get rid of it. ( No it is not the CD it was burned from cause it sounds perfect playing on other devices)
thanks for any ideas or tips :-)

I have observed this with my 4th gen Nano. The sound is pristine through the headphone jack, but when connected via some (older) dock devices there are little bursts of static every few moments.
I have tried this with a Bose Sounddock and a Tivoli iSongbook. Same thing. The little static bursts are NOT repeatable (random), and do NOT appear in headphones. Most people would probably never notice this noise, especially if they play only rock music. Music with less percussive sound reveals the problem more easily.
The very same files played through the dock devices on my old 3rd Gen iPod sound perfect.
I was getting ready to ask Apple to exchange my Nano for another to see if that has any effect. Other than this issue, I love it and it works great.
