Garageband hangs when converting podcast

I'v tried searching the discussions to find anything on this but this has not yeilded any results. Whats happening is when I export my podcast to iTunes or the desktop it gets stuck on the step "converting". The bar goes across but then turnes into a pinstripe progress bar that just keeps spinning. I'v tried leaving it for as much as an hour for a simple 1 min podcast with 2 chapters and a couple pictures. With experimentation I have found that it only hangs on this step when chapters are added to the podcast. If I remove all chapters then it exports correctly. Chapters without pictures still cause it to hang. Basically the only thing I can do when turning the podcast track on and still have it be able to export is give the whole podcast a picture. Please help, I need to start podcasting my classes for reference on upcoming tests.

GarageBand hangs when opening, but will eventually open- what's the problem

Hi,
I just upgraded from GarageBand 2 to GarageBand 3. Previously, everything was on my start-up drive. When I upgraded, I moved all the files I could (loops and the like) to a media drive while keeping everything else on the start-up drive. Now, when I open GB3, it hangs and hangs, beach ball spinning, and the name of the application turns red in Activity Monitor, like it's frozen. But, it does eventually open up, after a minute or two, literally. It seems to hang when it starts loading the instruments used in the track. But it still does open and work fine! Well, not exactly fine, it also takes a lot longer than it used to to load a new instrument when I select a new one. Does anyone know what the issue may be?
Oh, and, I tried opening a file, then saving it as something different, then opening that new file, but it does the same thing.
Thanks!
William

Thanks for your response, xs4is. I am not on the offending machine at this moment, so I'll have to test your suggestions later this evening. Let me explain a little further what I did that lead up to the issues I'm now experiencing.
I had iLife 05 that came with my computer. I was upgrading to iLife 06. Everything from iLife 05 was on my boot drive- that's how it came and I never changed it. I have the second drive that I use for media files (I edit video- all of those files, my itunes library, etc. is on this drive). Prior to upgrading, I wanted to move everything I could (loops and stuff like that) to the second drive. So, there's a point in the installation right before it actually installs everything- it tells you where it's going to put a bunch of folders, it gives you the path and lets you know you can put them somewhere else if you'd like (ex. "SuchAndSuch" Folder will be installed in /Library/Application Support/Garageband. If you want to, you can choose a different folder. (to paraphrase)). At this point (for each of the folders full of files that it was installing), I followed the path it gave, took the folder that was already there ("SuchAndSuch") and copied it to the second drive, I then deleted that original folder and redirected the installer to the new folder. I even duplicated the folder path, to make it easier for me to understand, so that for the example above, the new path was "SuchAndSuch" Folder will be installed in /MediaDrive/Library/Application Support/Garageband. I am certain I did this part correctly. I created the "Library", "Application Support", & "Garageband" folders-- I only actually moved that last folder and deleted it off the Boot Drive. Anyway, I was pretty sure all this was okay to do because I was only moving the original stuff it was telling me it would be updating or replacing... I hope this makes sense and might help to figure just where or where I went wrong.
I'll have to look later to make sure, but I'm pretty sure there were no other duplicate software instruments in the browser window. There may be dplicates on the drive but not in the window I suppose. And I deleted the old ones off the boot drive.
That's a good idea of creating the alias folder- this could be the root of the problem. But I figured it'd be okay since I was telling the installer to install the stuff on the second drive.
I suspect there may be some small files that I moved to the second drive that really should be on the boot drive- some sort of files that act as a map or something for garageband. Maybe an invisible file? ...I hate those invisible files.
**Oh wait!** I just remembered something, when I was copying those folders (like I was saying above), it did prompt me for my admin name and password! So, wouldn't that mean I was moving something, well, important? Instead of just the loops and stuff?
Yeah, that's probably a key clue, eh?
I'll also try the Garageband index tip and let you know.
Thanks so much for your help!!

Acrobat Professional hangs when converting word to PDF

I am using Acrobat Professional version 7 and when i use the Convert to PDF option for a large word document it goes through the motions of converting the document but then seems to hang and i get no PDF document created. Also the Word document then says read only in the title as well.
It works fine for small word documents just not large files with pictures.
I have tried uninstalling Acrobat Prof and Office 2003 and re-installing both and it makes no difference.
Can anyone provide any information on what i can try to fix this issue as
i am out of ideas.
Thanks
Lawrence

Empty the TEMP folder or print to the Adobe PDF printer. The latter might be worth trying to be sure things are working.
You may have to uncheck a lot of the options in the PDF Maker preferences, particularly tags. Keep in mind that large graphics require a lot of disk space in the translation as the PS format is not very memory efficient for graphics (at least from what I have seen). You might also make a copy of the DOC file and then select a graphic and choose format. In the lower left corner of the general tab is a compress button. Try that to reduce the graphics resolution and see if that solves the problem.

HDRPro hangs when converting to 16 bit

Hi all,
I'm having an issue here with HDRPro. When I first open CS5 and merge to HDRPro (generally three .NEF raw files) everything is fine. I hit "OK", the file is converted in the HDR dialog, and then after the various operations in the main Photoshop window, I get my 16 bit image file. BUT, if after creating one HDR image in this way I then try to do another, CS5 hangs in the main PS window at "32-Bit Preview Options". Normally, at this point there is a conversion progress bar, but it never appears. The image window turns black and a "forbidden" (circle with diagonal slash) icon appears. I am able to switch to previous history states, but I never get to "16 Bits/Channel" and the processed image. If I exit and restart PS, I am again able to process a single HDR image before this happens again. An important clue might be that this happens only if the deghosting feature is used...
Here are some particulars. I am running XP Pro SP3 32 bit (4GB RAM, though obviously not all addressable due to 32 bit limitations) on a Dell Precision M4400 workstation. QuadroFX 770m GA, which works fine will all the open GL stuff. I tried keeping an eye on Task Manager when it hangs and there doesn't seem to be any issue with available memory, Windows reports between 1.5-2 GB available, same as when I do the conversion successfully (when PS is first opened).
In terms of performance I have 20 history states enabled, 4 levels of cache. Photoshop has presently got 1.2 GB of memory (72%) to play with, but making this larger doesn't seem to make any difference.
I will mention a related issue (related anyway to HDR). I notice that if I try to combine more than three exposures, HDRPro simply refuses to align the images. Less images and I get the various transforms, crops and marquees necessary to align the features, but more than this and the automatic align simply doesn't "kick in". I end up with an image in which elements do not line up (when using shots with small positional variations). I stress that when only three images are merged, everything works fine.
In CS4, with large multiple merges to HDR, I sometimes got an out of memory error. Nothing like that in CS5 in either of the two above cases.
Any thoughts appreciated.

ITunes hangs when choosing PodCasts

If I try to select the Podcast tab in iTunes, iTunes hangs -- every time! This happens w/ my old 30GB click wheel iPod, and a less old Nano. I have reset the iPod, re-downloaded iTunes and am fresh out of ideas. Help!

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

Robohelp hangs when converting an FM Inset

Hi,
I'm using TCS4. I linked an FM book in Robohelp. Everytime Robohelp converts an FM Inset, it hangs. For some reason, the Adobe Distiller decodes the Inset as an image (divided in pages, sized according to the anchored frame in the Inset.) The Inset has conditional text as well.
Can you help?
Thanks!
Kai

Good to know that the patch did something for your situation.
Regarding your graphics - I can't offer too much guidance since I don't really work with them much in my FM to RH project, but I seem to recall some early TCS webinar where RJ Jacquez talked about sticking a graphic and a bunch of captions and callouts all inside a single anchored frame to get them to come over. It wouldn't work if they were all separate - they had to be grouped together and captured inside a single anchored frame.
Again, if you can whip up a simple example that illustrates the failure, report it to Adobe and send it to them - they like to work on examples that are broken to analyze them.

FlashPaper hangs when converting PowerPoint t to Flash swf

I tried a very simple one page powerpoint with the word test.
I hit FlashPaper-convert to Flash SWF; the dialog box appears and
indicates it is converting but it never finished. Is this also a
bug and is there a fix?
Thx,
Dave

No you can't from a book - there might be a script for it?
I've had alook around and I can't find one.
You could place all the indesign files into a new indesign file and then export to SWF that way.
There's a script called multipage importer that would be able to automate the inesertion of all the pages.

IPod music player crash when playing podcast, exported from GarageBand

Hello!
Before start, I'm using this soft/tools: GarabeBand '11 (6.0.4.) on Mac OS X(10.7.2.), podcast, submited in iTunes, and iOS 5 on my iPod Touch 4. All software is up to date.
So. I have a podcast which Is playing fine everywhere, on Mac, iPod etc. But the latest episode I did yesterday, I made with GarageBand to try "Chapter Marks" feature which I did not used before. Then I export podcast to my Mac and upload to my server to make available in iTunes Store as I usualy do.
Then I downloaded latest episode of my own podcast in iTunes, transfer it to iPod, and found that this episode cannot be played on it! I mean, it transfered well, it shown in episodes list of my podcast, but when I tap to play - music player app just crashing all the times. All previous episodes works fine, so I guess the problem with latest episode is because of GarageBand.
I've tried many different export settings in GarageBand: AAC Encoder with Higher Quality (192 kbps), iTunes Plus (256 kbps) and Custom settings 320 kbps. Also I tried all options in "Quality" dropdown menu in Custom settings: High, Higher and Highest.
But result is still same - this episode, exported from GarageBand, crashing on iPod (although It can be played normaly in iTunes on my Mac).
Would be glad for any suggestion how to solve this. I feel very bad cause subscribers of my podcast downloading "broke" episode :-(
p.s.
Here is podcast in iTunes Store - http://itunes.apple.com/ru/podcast/daniel-lesden-presents-rave/id423519688
Here is RSS feed - feed://ravepodcast.com/downloads/podcast.xml
The problem with latest episode, #017.

I examined the episode media file. In QuickTime Player 7 it shows the chapter images, which are 160x160, and plays normally.
However in QuickTime Player X it doesn't show the images, but opens to a very large black player. The info in QT7 looks like this:
You will notice that although at the bottom it says 'Normal Size 160 x 160 pixels', in the top section it refers to a JPEG at 6227 x 6227 which I suppose is an embedded image, though I can see no evidence of one (unless it's plain black): an image this size wouldn't show on an iPod and would very possibly crash it.
I can't explain how this got there - I've never used GarageBand to make a podcast - but you should have an investigation and try to locate and remove it; it's very likely the cause of the problem.

Garageband interface hangs when selecting 'project' in lcd

Hi,
I've got a problem with Garageband. When I open up a GB project, everything is fine.
When I go to the little popup button on the lcd screen and select "project", the Garageband interface freezes. I can't interact with the app anymore, untill i press Command-F to go back to the time view.
It seems to me that it is a problem with graphics or something. When I double click the window to minimize it, then get it out of the dock, all that shows up is a white outline of where the window would be.
Already tried deleting prefs, reinstalling, other account but nothing worked. Got the newest version.
Anyone here knows how to solve this?
Thanks in advance,
Rengers

Yeah, those machines were "fresh"...so I installed on my older PowerBook G4 (1.67 GHZ w/2 GB RAM) and get this...it works perfectly. Now, the caveat is that I had prepped the G4 for sale so I had done clean (aka "fresh" install) of OS X 10.5.6 and done absolutely no customization (added/removed any fonts).
So we're back to determining if it's really a font issue and what font is causing the problem.
I really don't want to have to use GB on my PowerBook (because I want to get it sold ASAP to put $$$ towards a new one), so I wish Apple would do the right thing here and post a fix or something. What gives? I guess I could get lucky if I take it in to a genius tomorrow and I just happen to get the right person that knows the how to solve the problem.

Keeping the volume when converting an AIFF file to MP3

Hello,
I use Garageband to make a podcast that I then send to iTunes. Within iTunes I get the name, artist, date etc. set, then I convert the AIFF to an MP3.
However, I have noticed that the volume of the converted MP3 file is significantly lower than the original AIFF. I have tried converting to AAC and the same applies.
The volume of the original AIFF seems perfect to me... How can I get the MP3 file to be at the same level when converting?
Thanks in advance...

The only thing I can think of is that you have Sound Check enableb and so it is lowering the volume when you convert to keep it the same as the rest of your library. Try turning it off.
It is also possible that having it off could cause the same problem, so if it is off, try turning it on and see what happens.
To check the status of Sound Check, go to the Playback tab in Preferences.

Converting podcasts into audiobooks

Does anyone know if there is a way to convert podcasts into audiobooks?
Some podcasts when they 1st came out were in the form of podcasts, new one are audiobooks & I want to tidy up my podcast folder.
Thanks

yes, and no. You can change the existing files to audiobooks, but all newly downloaded files will still be podcasts.
If you want to wait until the "podiobook" is finished downloading, then convert to audiobooks, you will still find the actual files in the itunes media\podcasts\YYY directory.
I enjoy podiobooks.com serialized books and routinely go through this falderall. Wouldn't it be nice if audiobooks, however they are added to iTunes, could be properly labelled and categorized? I miss the "audiobooks" tab too.

ISR Form is hanging after converting to ZCI

Hi experts,
We are on EP7 ECC 6.0 SP9. We have recently converted few ISR forms (SAP delivered forms for PCR) to ZCI. The form is hanging when clicked on 'Review Form' . Earlier before changing the forms to ZCI at least we used to go to the next screen when clicked on 'Review Form' but now the form is just hanging.
Did anyone come across this issue?
Can you please let me know what needs to be done?
Thanks
Phani

Hi Anto,
I have already installed ACF on my pc but still the Adobe form is hanging. I even changed installed new version of Adobe reader 8.0 (earlier it was 7.0.9) but same result.
We are currently on EP7 ECC 6.0 SP9. I have adobe reader 7.0.9 version.
When I revert back the SAP Standard SAP form to 'unknown layout' I could at least go to the next step but when I covert to ZCI, I am facing this problem. Right now I really don't understand the reason .. I am stuck with this.
Do you have any ideas?
Thanks
Phani

ITunes 10.5.2 hangs when transferring to iPhone

Ever since I updated to 10.5.2 iTunes hangs whenever I manually add/remove podcasts and songs to my iPhone 4S. It always says that I am trying to transfer more songs than I selected. I could highlight one song and drag it to my phone, but then the status will say "copying 1 of 55" songs. It transfers the first one fine and then hangs when it gets to "copying 2 of 55". The hang lasts for about 20 seconds and I get the pinwheel. Is there any I can do to fix this. I'm using a MacBook Pro and all of my software is up to date.

Sound like your computer is using the wrong apple mobile device driver.

IPhoto 11 and 10.8.2 Hangs when loading library

Ok.. I have just done my 4th clean install of Mountain Lion in the last 3 months. Due to issues I've manually restored my iPhoto, iTunes, iMovie and Garageband content back to my new clean system and then opened the above mentioned programs.
The problem is that iPhoto will not get past the opening after I choose the iPhoto library.
My test account will open a blank iPhoto library. But the main user account just hangs when loading the library.
So far I've done the following.
Launched with Command and Option and rebuilt the library and used the iphoto library 3rd party tool to rebuild the library.
I've cleaned disk permissions.
I've run Onyx and cleaned the entire system.
I've trashed iPhoto and reinstalled iPhoto from the iPhoto 11 disk and then updated through the App store.
What else can I try? My iPhoto library is 54 Gigs and is all my digital photos of my kids since they were born 10 years ago.

One simple thing you can try is Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion and Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
