The Elements 12 Mac disk works fin - I also have a Dell, and the Windows disk will not run at all, sounds like it's grinding, and is almost impossible to remove from the hard drive. I cannot find any place to tell me who to CALL to ask for a replacement!

Hi Samcat,
You can use a download instead of the disk as an alternative: Adobe - Download free trial version Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 | Adobe you can license with your serial
Please test the disk in another windows machine to check if it's caused by the drive or the disk. If you tested with 2 drives please start a support case, i assume Adobe will only provide downloads at this point. They are the same as the trials. If you still need a disk you can burn the trial to a disk as a backup disk. Good luck!

Need help removing hard drive from Time Machine exclusion list

I have a 1TB Western Digital Essential hard drive with about 500Gb of music, movies and other assorted data tethered directly to my iMac. I also have a 1TB Time Capsule that serves as my wireless router and connects to my iMac over the wireless network. I'm trying to use the Time Capsule as the ultimate backup device, to backup the data on my iMac and the tethered 1TB Western Digital hard drive via Time Machine. It already backs up all the data on my iMac, but unfortunately, Time Machine places the 1TB Western Digital hard drive in the exclusion list (which I understand is normal), but will not let me click the minus sign to remove the drive from the exclusion list (which is where I'm at a loss). Someone please help me find a way around this as I've been unable to find a way to remove the Western Digital drive from the exclusion list and have Time Capsule access its data. Many thanks in advance for any help with this.

gotham,
Forgive me, but are you highlighting the drive in the list before you click the "-" button?
Also, were is the external drive? Connected to your Mac or the TC. If the TC, then Time Machine won't backup the external drive. It needs to be connected to the Mac directly.
Otherwise, you can delete the TM .plist.
*Delete The Time Machine Preference .plist*
Go to --> Macintosh HD / Library / Preferences (Note: NOT Home / Library / Preferences).
Drag the .plist file labeled,
com.apple.TimeMachine.plist
to the root level of your Macs’ hard drive.
Reboot your computer.
This .plist file is automatically recreated at startup if it is missing.
You will need to reselect your Time Capsule in the TM Prefs for backup.
Now try 'removing' the other drive form the exclusion list.
Let us know if this helped resolve your issue.
Cheers!

Cubase 6, Emu1616m and ASIO driver HELP!

Looking for some help on some ASIO driver issues concerning, ASIO drivers, EMU1616m soundcard drivers, and Cubase 6.
So I have tried setting up Cubase 6 a few different ways and am having problems with drivers I believe.
When using the EMU E-DSP drivers for Cubase, my latency is up to 300 ms for input and output which is a problem that definitely affects VST performance. Plus for some reason when I use the EMU ASIO driver my track peak meters in the project view are really choppy and glitched out, not smooth and flowing like they are with the ASIO4all driver.
There any way to lower the latency of my EMU ASIO driver?
I'm getting 13ms with ASIO4all but it doesn't see all of my 1616m inputs, it only sees 2.
And anyone had problems with glitching peak meters?
They work smooth on the ASIO4all driver.
Any help would be awesome or if someone could point me in the right direction even that would be a good start!
Thanks!

Under Devices > Device Setup > VST Audio System there is a drop down box that says ASIO Driver next to it. That is where I select E-MU ASIO driver. I do not see an ASIO control panel... Okay wait, I clicked on the E-MU driver in the Device Setup list and it does let me select the control panel. It says my buffer latency is set to 4ms? To the right of that is says "Input Latency: 300.998 ms" and just below that "Output Latency: 299.728 ms"
I don't think Cubase is working at 4ms cuz when I try to use Superior Drummer 2.0 VST there is serious lag with each drum hit.
There is no distortion in the audio at all. I sent a picture of the meter I'm talking about.
The meters are doing wierd things. Imagine a sound playing with the peak meter displaying the audio signal. now imagine you cut off the signal. You know how the meter would usually fall smoothly while the sound dies. Well the way it looks now is like stop motion animation. The meter would be at 50% then jump to 30% then 10% then blank. Very jerky like the signal is not being read by cubase right yet it sounds fine when I play back the track.
This is a newer setup I have

Moving my itunes library to a removable hard drive.

I have moved my itunes library to a removable hard drive. Every time I try to trash my old itunes file and access the removable HD, I cant find it from iTunes. the only thing I can get it to do is to reload (duplicate) the entire 30gb library on the HD I want it off of. Now I have 2 duplicate versions of my library, but still can't get it to keep the files on the HD. Can someone help?
Mark

Hey Mark -
I think it's helpful to understand how this whole process works, and along the way, maybe we'll find where things went wrong for your situation.
iTunes can take as much or as little control of your library as you like, and different settings may be turned on or off for you as it's not always standardized.
If you'd like your entire iTunes Library to be transferred to one centralized, organized location (wherever - a local directory or an external drive, whatever you like), here's what you need to do (and if it's not too late, here's what you need to go "back" and do to make this transition smoother).
- Open iTunes with the default library (where you had it).
- Select iTunes, Preferences, Advanced, and ensure that "Keep iTunes Media folder organized" and "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" are both checked. This ensures that your music files are actually going TO the iTunes folder (and not, for example, just being referenced in a downloads folder which you'll probably move or delete later, breaking all those links) and that iTunes will sort your media by Artist\Album\Track Number Song.xxx instead of just moving the file as-is to a different spot.
- Select File, Library, Organize Library and check "Consolidate files" and "Reorganize files in the folder 'iTunes Media'". These two marks take anything up-to-this-point and consolidates them into the one location, then uses its sorting structure to file it all away.
Then, Mark, I think it's appropriate to exit iTunes, take that entire library folder (YourUsername\Music\iTunes\) and put it wherever you'd like it to go. To tell iTunes where your new library is, hold the Option key and click on the iTunes application, then "Choose Library" and reference your new location.
I think it's important to follow the preliminary steps first. I've run into instances with customers where they've moved their Library file, referenced it by Choosing the new Library, and then thought everything was fine, only to find two weeks later when they try to play an audio file that the file isn't found - and this happens because the user moved the library FILE but didn't have a consolidated library TO move - the files were spread out all over the computer.
I hope that's helpful to you. I know it may be too late to "undo" yourself back to the beginning and do those organizational steps, but it's at least useful to know the process and how it might help you in the future.
Best of luck.

"Original file not found" error after copying from removable hard drive

ok, I have all my itunes library on a removable hard drive, and I want to copy it all to my new computer. so, I plugged the hard drive in, copied all the files into itunes, and when I played one of them, it worked. then, I tried to play it again, but an error message came up saying "The song 'Re-hash'could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like tyo locate it?" and I clicked 'Yes'. then a browser came up, where i could select either the files itunes music, itunes library, or itunes music library. none of them work. help please?

This worked although it was very clumsy (we had almost 3,000 files that had to be deleted and redownloaded. I could not figure out a way to sort all of the 'exclamation points' together so it took an hour or so to scan through the entire library list and delete each file individually and/or in small groups.) The download was very straight forward. In my experience (with iTunes match turned on,) we did NOT loose our playcounts.
Going through all those files I noticed several common themes that may have triggered the problem: 1) multiple artists, 2) special characters in the song title, artist and/or album name - particularly umlauts (we have quite a few german songs in our library.) 3) very long title, artist and/or album names.
I hope that someone from Apple is aware of these issues and working on them....

IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE THE CD'S DVD'S from MAC 24

After burning it is IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE THE CD'S DVD'S from MAC 24
Do you know how to solve this problem?

Hi...
Try holding down the Eject key while booting up.
And try holding down your mouse when booting.
And try moving the CD or DVD icon on the Desktop to the Trash. The Trash icon will turn into an Eject icon.
If nothing above has helped...
Open Terminal located in HD > Applications > Utilities
Type "drutil tray eject" to eject the disc/tray, and "drutil tray close" to close the tray.

Removing mouse driver from system preferences, other...how?

In system preferences, other, how do you uninstall items? I have read in this forum that if you right click and choose "remove (xxx) preference pane" it will uninstall it. If remove doesn't uninstall it, exactly what does it do?
Is it that simple? I am trying to remove a mouse driver.
thanks
bob

I'm afraid I don't follow you. Each component can be individually deleted. But as I said removing the preference pane (in any way) will not remove a driver located in the Extensions folder (if there's a driver involved.) Likewise removing a driver will not remove a preference pane. This is why you should use the uninstaller that comes with the software you are using (which you haven't mentioned.)
For general help with uninstalling software see:
Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, Easy Find, instead. Download Easy Find at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are also several shareware utilities that can uninstall applications:
AppZapper
CleanApp
Yank
SuperPop
Uninstaller
Spring Cleaning
Look for them at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

ASIO Driver Error when running CS3 on Mac/Snow Leopard

We have recently removed Parallels from our Mac lab of 30 computers and upgraded the OS to Snow Leopard. Premiere Pro CS3 was re-installed, but when attempting to open the program we receive the notification "The previously selected ASIO driver could not be loaded and may be in use by another application. The default ASIO driver is now in use.", followed by a notification that Premiere Pro has encountered a serious error and has to close.
I have run all current OS updates, including the version 1.2 iMac EFI Firmware update and Premiere Pro CS3 is version 3.2.
Any help on the ASIO driver...what is it, can I change it, is my software dead on Snow Leopard...would be greatly appreciated!

Welcome to the forum.
Well, my ASIO4ALL suggestion proved to be of no use, as it seems that it's PC only - bummer!
Now, I do not know Mac ASIO drivers, but I'd start by sleuthing your MBPro and seeing which ASIO driver it's using. Maybe compare the audio hardware between the two machines. Compare the full compliment of drivers. I would guess that most drivers are included in the Mac OS, but could be very wrong there. Sorry, as I'm a PC-guy and don't know how the Mac OS works with drivers, I can only speak in generalities.
There has got to be some difference between the two machines. Finding that difference and then correcting it, might take some effort, and I do not even know where to suggest you start the search. Maybe a Mac-person will pop by and say, "oh, simple, just look here _____."
Good luck,
Hunt

Tablet A8 5500: impossible to remove shortcuts/icons

Hello, My tablet is new, out of the box from a few hours.
It is impossible to remove any icons on the desktops: the bin does not appear! When I press a few seconds on an icon, I can only move it but not remove it.
I already did firmware upgrade and factory reset.
It drives me crazy. Did I miss anything?
Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Thks for the answer. I used Lenovo Laucher... It's crazy it does not work! I did put apex launcher and it worked well now.

Ipod has been reformatted and now shows up as a removable disk drive any he

I-pod has been reformatted and now shows up in windows as a removable disk drive can not get updater to recognize. any help?

Wow...I never thought there would ever be such a screwy problem like this on such a large scale....has anyone noticed how many similar posts have been posted in the last week or so? Not saying this never happens to anyone--in fact, it's happened to me beofre, but it was simple to fix...but the same problem happening with so many people at about the same time*...I don't know, it's kind of strange...anyway....
Yeah, I'm a Mac/Apple guy to the core, and have been since 7th grade (about 11-12 years now). Yet, I can't help but look at my iPod as if it has self-destructed. I was listening to it (w/ tape adapter, of course) on the way home in the car, then unplugged it for literally five minutes, got into my apartment, plugged it in my dell Latitude, and poof it had been reformatted. So, the moment I plugged it in, its funcionality basically vanished. The 5 R's have been useless thus far, and I can't even reformat using Explorer, because Windows tells me that the 1 GB iPod now has no storage capacity. ***? Strange, strange. Anyhow, sorry for the rambling, but this really confounds and frustrates me. APPLE....HELP US PLEASE!
*Don't get me wrong: I'm not a conspiracy nut; it's just hard to wrap my mind around this right now.

Audigy 4 ASIO driver inquiry

Hi,
After reading thru several posts in different forums, I still have one question:
What (the heck) is the purpose of the "SB Audigy 4 24/96" ASIO driver mode? I can't record anything when I select that, in Logic 5 for Windows. With the normal driver "SB Audigy 4 ASIO", it's fine. The card has a good sound, and nice software, but this doesn't work... I also find that more often than not, the reply to these types of messages is something like "get another soundcard". Well, no thanks! The non-pro Audigy 4 is actually the single most expensive piece of hardware inside my PC (except the processor maybe?).
What's more, the on-line documentation states that the card has ASIO2 support for 24-bit/96kHz recording, the feature that I want to use, but how?

I don't know about Logic,but i had that issue with cubase sx and my audigy 2zs (i guess they are similar cards). When i choose Asio 24/96 it mutes the Line-in in creative mixer, so there is no sound incoming to cubase.
Solution for me:
- open cubase and select asio 24/96;
- with cubase still opened go to creative mixer and unmute Line-in (check also if you have Analog Mix as the recording source);
- set the Line-in level in creative mixer to the amount i want (usually 0db);
- then return to cubase and activate Analog Mix in the "Vst input" menu;
- add an audio track, arm it to record, check the input source (it must be Analog Mix), activate monitoring and hit record.
Now i'm recording with asio 24/96 and monitoring all the effects i want in that track.
Note: When you choose asio 24/96 your card inputs will be reduced. With my audigy 2zs i'll have only 3 input sources and the only one that's used to record with asio 24/96 is Analog Mix (Line in).
Hope this will help you.

Z97 Gaming 9 AC - How ASIO driver work?

Hi everyone.
Some week ago, i wrote about the 'not working' ASIO driver.
This was because some driver issue, fixed with the latest driver release.
So now, ASIO device is detected from software like Ableton or Foobar.
Fine.
Now the main question is: how it work?
When i select the ASIO device, there's no audio output incoming from my speakers.
The fact that i read 'USB ASIO etcetc...' information, let me think a bit.
Is it possible that the ASIO device on this mobo, work only through USB port??
There's someone here that can give some explanation about it?
Thanks.

Quote from: JLio01 on 26-September-14, 20:43:21
I confused..Which port do you connect to your ASIO device??
I do not connect anything to my pc.
I just connect my monitor speakers to my jack audio port; then, software like Ableton, or Foobar, can 'use' the alternative driver ( the ASIO ) to take advantage from it.
ASIO drivers must 'replace' ( or add ) the standard audio device ( the Hig definition Audio stock driver ).
So, i intend it to work like a 'second' audio card ( normally ASIO product are managed as a 'stand alone' output device ).
ASIO are specific driver that enhance audio routing.
Quote
1. check the "i58.tinypic.com/mvnpmf.jpg", right click on playback section and check "show disabled devices", and see if you can find your device and set it as the default device
ok i'll try it when i'll back home again, but i think i did it and there are no other 'phisical device over there.
Quote
2. make sure you've downloaded the ASIO support 2.1.2 on foobar website (sor I noly have foobar to check), and put the file under foorbar2000/component fiolder, open foobar and check this for me:
file => preferences => playback => output
Do you see "ASIO virtual devices", select and press Add new, and check if there's anything called ASIO Output? or ASIO Multimedia Driver?
yes i did it and it work ( if i'm not wrong ). i'll try it also again.
Quote
BTW can you show me what else can you select inside Ableton?
sure.
i'll do.
Quote
Alright...check these for me would be helpful. And we'll see what's next.

Asio Driver issue in Premiere Pro CC conflicting with all other media players on PC

Whenever I have Premiere or audition or After effects opened---- should I want to play a media clip on J River Media center, or Windows Media Player, the Asio driver is locked by the Adobe products, so the other media players do not have access to it. This may be a new windows 8.1 phenomenon, as i never had this before with 64 bit Windows 7.
I have had some success running the other media players on the lousey windows sound drivers, but they don't sound nearly as good as the Asio driver does, with its near zero latency.
My sound card is a Lynx aes 16, and the Win 8.1 PC pushes the digital audio out to my Berkely DAC , then to separate mono bloc amps, into Magnepan speakers as the reference audio system for my music and video editing....or for entertainment listening :-)
Does anyone have a solution that will force the Adobe CC software to release the Asio driver when I try to use J River Media center, or some other media player?

I had this problem this evening 090813 after upgrading my Adobe Cloud Desktop.
I open Pro CC and had the Dolby Audio Decode Licensing Restriction for (File name.......... ) Error
Previous CC progs loaded and worked with problem.
I uninstalled Pro CC - Restarted the computer - Re-installed Pro CC.
Now working with no problem.
Hope this helps.
