Hi
There are many who has problems with audio and mainly transitions in iMovie HD 6.
Origin: Unknown to me
Work around:
• Select video clips
• Advance menu -> Extract audio
• Now apply transitions or other effects
A Working solution
IF NOT:
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
• Hard disk is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Delete iMovie pref file - or rather start a new user/account - log into this and re-try
• Third party plug-ins that doesn't work OK (not relevant for iMovie’08)
• 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)
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.
Yours Bengt W

  • On my iPhone 4 the sound is all scratchy when listening through earbuds or dock.  Its any sound, music, utube videos.  If I play it through the iPhone speaker or from bluetooth it sounds fine.  It just started about 3 weeks ago.  Any suggestions?

    In the last three weeks my iPhone 4 (OS 5.1.1) the sound became all scratchy when listening through the ear buds of if I dock it.  The sound is fine listening to it from the iPhone speakers or in my car through bluetooth.  Please remember its all sound.  Whether its music, utube or a phone call.  Any suggestions?

    Mini Man, I'm glad to read you found a solution to your issue, but I don't know if your solution is going to be mine as well.
    For starters, I do not have the new Apple TV - at least, not yet. I have ordered one, but it will not be delivered until some time next week (sneering glance at Steve & Co. for abandoning that platform rather than making it AirPlay compatible).
    But that is not really my issue: my issue is that my two Airport Express units do NOT show up in the iPhone, though the DO show up on my iPad. This tells me they have been properly configured (both units have names, and are connected to the house network), so there must still be something missing from the equation.
    And, judging from the response of a few others who have chimed in here, I think it's save to say that the experience is not altogether uncommon.
    I'm surprised nobody has come back with a more direct solution to the common issue. I may have to call AppleCare someday this week...

    I am getting no sound on my macbook pro. The sound does not play when I plug in headphones either.  I have tried making it louder quieter, restarting my computer, HELP!

    There are many possible causes for this issue. Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried.
    1. Start with the steps recommended in this support article. Don't skip any of the steps. It's the starting point for further efforts to solve the problem.
    2. If your model has an audio-out (headphone) port, and anything is plugged in, unplug it before putting the system to sleep.
    3. If you've installed something called "Memory Clean" or any other third-party software that is supposed to "clean" or "purge" memory automatically, remove it according to the developer's instructions and reboot. You should do that even if the software is not causing the problem, because it's useless.
    4. If you've installed an equalizer called "Boom" or anything similar, update or delete it and reboot.
    5. If an AirPlay device is selected for sound output from iTunes (or from other applications via third-party software such as "Airfoil"), deselect it.
    6. Launch the application "Audio MIDI Setup" by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search and selecting it in the results (it should be at the top.) Select the Output tab. If the Mute boxes are checked, uncheck them. Move the Volume sliders all the way to the right.
    7. If a red light is coming from the audio-out port, the internal switch is stuck in the position for digital output. You may be able to free it by inserting and removing a mini-stereo jack of the proper size. Inserting any kind of tool in the port may cause damage that won't be covered by your warranty.
    If there's no red light, the switch may still be stuck in the headphone position. Try to free it the same way.
    8. Disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard and mouse, if applicable. If more than one display is connected, disconnect all extra ones. Reboot and test.
    9. Boot in safe mode. Don't log in; just reboot as usual when the login screen appears. When you do, make sure the words "Safe Boot" do not appear in the login screen. If they do, the system is still in safe mode and sound won't work.
    10. Reset the NVRAM.
    11. Reset the SMC.
    12. Reinstall OS X after backing up all data. For a possible shortcut, see this thread.
    13. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store.

  • I'm having trouble with the volume of my i phone 4s when using headphones, the sound will only appear when the volume is at its highest, any lower and all I hear is static. Can anyone help me with this problem? Much appreciated.

    Hi, I'm using a white iPhone 4s with 16gb memory and having some problems. Whenever I use earphones the sound will be heated when the volume is at the highest if I turn it down any lower all I hear is static. Can anyone help me with this problem as I would appreciate it much.

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    No data is lost due to a reset.

    Perhaps you should ask over in the iPad community, you may get better answers there.
    It's actually my fault that psoon ended up here ... s/he intially posted over at Home Sharing, and I tried a relocate request to Apple TV rather than iPad.

    If you refer to this

  • I purchased PDF Converter Plus, v1.0 (4 ). I am unable to convert PDF into text. I get all gibberish when I try to do the conversion.

    I purchased PDF Converter Plus, v1.0 (4 ). I am unable to convert PDF into text. I get all gibberish when I try to do the conversion.

    I went to the site and did exactly as the 'support' said. I tried three PDF documents for conversion to Word. On clicking 'convert', the last window gives the file with .doc suffix. After I save and open it the window says, "The XML file cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents." Under "Details", it says, "Incorrect document syntax".
    Please guide me further.
    Thanks

  • Photos get all blurry when switching between "100%" and "Fit to Screen"

    Hello,
    I downloaded the Aperture 3 Testversion and I'm trying to create a new book. I managed to design all the pages but when I switch between the views the photos get all blurry until I zoom in and out of the photo.
    I was wondering if anybody knows if it will affect the print out version and if I can do something that they aren't blurry when I get my copy?
    Thank you for your help.
    Tim

    I have also noticed this.
    Click the print button in the book layout window.
    In the print dialog, choose PDF>open pdf in Preview.
    I presume this shows a reasonably accurate facsimile of how the images will appear when printed.

  • The sound on iPhone 4s when playing videos is terrible?

    I think Apple need to update iOS 6.1.2 to repair this error, because playing is missed bass and treble. Seriously!!!

    I am now missing 26 songs from my Iphone. (After resynching it told me 26 songs could not be downloaded and to see Itunes for more info, of course Itunes had no info). So now I am missing 26 songs and cant figure out how to get them back. They play through my laptop and my Ipad but I cant even see them on my Iphone anymore. I'm starting to regret my upgrade to the 4s. Help Apple!
    Were these 26 songs purchased directly from the iPhone?  If so, these might be "ghost" entries ... connect your iPhone to iTunes and click on the small arrow to the left of your iPhone's name. Select the iPhone's "Music" category and see if these 26 phantom songs appear grayed out.  If so, that's probably what the message is about. I have the same problem, although for each of my 9 "ghost" songs on my iPhone I have legitimate entries that play just fine.  I can only see these phantom entries on my iPhone when I view its contents through iTunes (and I get the same error message you get).  Unfortunately, I don't have a solution for the error message, but ...
    If these 26 songs really are in your iTunes library, are they set to be sync'd to your iPhone? (assuming that you auto-sync) In other words, are you either syncing your entire library, or at least a playlist (or genre) that you auto-sync to?  If they're not part of your auto-sync categories, then they won't go back onto your iPhone until you designate them to auto-sync to your device.
    If you manually manage music on your iPhone, can you drag and drop these 26 songs to your iPhone?

  • Need to run the report for All Values when Null is passed in parameter

    Hi All,
    In my BIP report, I am using a parameter :asset with Type as Text, which means user will type the values for the parameter in the text box.
    Now, this parameter can take multiple comma separated values. I have a requirement to run the report for All Values when user doesn't enter any value in the parameter text box and if user enters any value(s) then the report will run for those values . The way, I tried to handle that in the query using couple of ways was :
    IMP : My Database is SQL Server
    where
    (table.asset = isnull((:asset), table.asset) or table.asset in (:asset))
    Now this works fine when I give a single asset number but when I give multiple values separated by comma like 123, 345 in the text box, then the statement fails saying 'encountered ,'
    I also tried simply
    table.asset in isnull((:asset),table.asset) -- but this doesn't work as it doesn't allow me to use in operater while using isnull and if i will use = operater then it won't work in case of multiple values
    Any suggestions on how can I handle this? Any help would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ronny

    thanks for replying, but i tried this option too, it did not work for me, neither isnull nor coalesce. I mean, the solution work for single value but when i pass multiple values then separated by a comma then it doesn't work and shows me an error like "Incorrect Syntax ','". I am using SQL server as DB and bip is 10.1.3.4.1
    also please share the SR number, so i can also check the same.
    can there be any other work around to this?
    thanks,

  • I have changed my Apple ID on my iPad, but my iPhone keeps popping up with the old ID.....how do I get all my devices to use the same ID?

    How can I get all my devices to use the same Apple ID?

    Different services on your iOS device (iMessage, Facetime, iCloud, iTunes and App Store) can be signed into with an Apple ID of your choice. Make sure you verify the settings for each device and that you are signed in to each service with the correct Apple ID.
    I'll do an example for iMessage:
    1) Go to settings on your iOS device
    2) Select "Messages"
    3) Select "Send & Receive"
    4) At the very top you will see "Apple ID", by selecting your Apple ID, you will now have the option to sign out of messages with the current Apple ID, and sign in with the new one.
    The steps for changing your Apple ID for other services will be very similar.
    tHIS SHOULD BE VERY HELPFUL TOO YOU.
