HT3956 Aggregate Device Flashes then DISAPPEARS

I don’t have the option to add more devices. When I select the plus sign at the bottom right, the aggregator flashes then disappears.
I am running osx 10.6 and I do not see a menu item Audio > Open Aggregate Device Editor.
How do I find the Aggregate Device Editor?
I’m running Studio One free and attempting to use my Blue Mic via Blue Icicle. It registers in my Preferences > Sounds > Input but will not appear anyplace else.

Hey guys - I run into this issue some time ago, and now once again after upgrading to SnowL. I managed to fix it by changing the permissions on the Library/Preferences folder... then I was able to create aggregate devices! You can find a lengthier explanation on this post:

Form data flashes, then disappears

We have a fillable form we downloaded from a government website. We have filled in all the forms with our data and saved the file. Then when we reopen it, the data shows briefly, less than one second, then disappears. Anyone know what is going on?
I'm working in Acrobat 7.1 Pro, and I believe the form was created in Distiller.

Most likely there is a Reset Form action (or JavaScript) that executes when the form is opened. This is often done for forms that are intended to be used online (filled and submitted). If the PDF does not have security applied then you have a chance of removing this.

I, too, have found Bridge very unstable. I find this to be extremely disappointing, seeing as it's literally the most expensive piece of software I've ever purchased for personal use. I've seen these two symptoms:
1. When running in full screen mode, Bridge crashes periodically. This happened on Vista, so I blamed Vista (of course), but even after regressing to XP SP2, I see the same symptoms.
2. Although I didn't see this on Vista, running on XP I see the problem described earlier in this thread, where clicking on a thumbnail displays the wrong image preview. When this happens the image displayed is one from a different folder! I solve the problem by clearing the cache, and it's OK for a while, but the problem keeps returning.
3. Even when exiting cleanly from Bridge (using File->Exit), Bridge often forgets where I was working in my previous session. I need to re-navigate from the very top level directory down through the hierarchy to my photo directory.
Again, it's very disappointing to invest so much in a single software package only to see such basic operations malfunction.

PLEASE HELP!!! Can't Use Aggregate Device in GarageBand

I have two iMics plugged directly into the two USB 2.0 ports on my iBook G4, and I used Audio MIDI Setup to create an aggregate device from the iMics. The aggregate device is recognized in GarageBand, but when I select it and say "OK" to the box asking me if I'm sure I want to switch drivers, it switches back to the input it was already set to.
I tried using the aggregate input in Sound Studio and monitoring it in the Sound System Preference pane, and it worked fine in both of those places, but I need to record multitrack audio for a recording session tonight, and I don't have any other programs besides GarageBand to do it!
Thanks in advance for any help. It seems that other people have had success doing this in 10.4 with GarageBand 2, but I don't have any luck yet.
[Edit: Also, I selected the first iMic as the 'Clock' source and I have both sample rates, and all other settings set exactly the same (16 bit, 2 ch, 44.100 KHz, etc.).]

Well, after a six hour recording session, I successfully used two iMics, and they did not drop out at all (or have any 'digital crud'). After I got them to work in GarageBand, I was unable to open GarageBand's preferences from within the application, so I had to use PrefSetter to change a couple things once I started recording.
Only after unplugging both iMics and opening a completely new session in GB was I able to change preferences from within the app.
Here's how I had the aggregate device set up:
1. In Audio MIDI Setup, check the checkboxes ONLY for the iMics, and ONLY for the inputs (for some reason, if you check 'Use' for both inputs and outputs, GB can't handle it.
2. Choose the iMic highest on the list as the 'Clock', and don't resample the other iMic(s) (no resample checkboxes should be checked).
3. Click Done to get out of the Aggregate Device Editor, then, in the Audio MIDI Setup main window, choose the device you just created in the properties area, and make sure all the 'Streams' are set to 44.100 KHz and 16bit, 2ch.
4. Quit Audio MIDI Setup, and open GarageBand.
5. In GB, open the preferences, click on Audio/MIDI, then switch to the Aggregate Device you just created.
If GB won't switch to it, go back to Audio MIDI Setup and change the aggregate device to only include you internal audio, then switch to the new device in GB, save the file you have open, then quit GB, go to Audio MIDI Setup and add the iMics, removing the internal audio (set it up as I outlined above), then quit Audio MIDI Setup and open GarageBand with the file you just created, and the device should be selected (but you won't be able to change any Preferences now).
-Another note: The USB Hub I was trying to use (a high-speed USB 2.0 mini hub from Belkin) was not able to work very well - I don't think it quite had the capabilities of running either one or two iMics through it (the level was off, and the audio became out of sync quite quickly). I might be able to find a better hub (Griffen used to make an 'Audio USB Hub'), and I hope to try that out next recording session.
As a final note: The band I was recording decided to scrap all the work last night because they messed up on the first track we recorded, but didn't realize it until the end (all the other performers played off that track). Oh, well... Have a nice Saturday!

TS4000 Tasks Disappear on Outlook 2007 (Windows 7) when added on iOS 6 device. They appear for a few seconds, then disappear.

I just installed iCloud for Windows on my Windows 7 PC, running Outlook 2007 and IE9. I have been dealing with an annoying issue for years with my iOS 6 devices, where I enter a reminder (which is sync'd to my MS Exchange server), and the reminder doesn't show up in Outlook until the day after the due date. I thought installing the iCloud control panel might help this issue. Now the task shows up for a few seconds, then disappears (from Outlook Today screen). It shows up in the task list if I click it, but not in my Today view, which is what I use to track my tasks. Any ideas why this disappearance may be occurring?

I had this same thing happen to me. I was using my brand new iphone 5 (texting and listening to music through the speakers) when it flashed the apple logo, stopped my music and brought me to the lock screen.

Of course not. Didn't you bother to read the TOU of this forum? This is a USER TO USER technical support forum. Apple doesn't post here.

Pictures in iPhoto 6 library flash and then disappear but leave a box

OSX 10.5.8 iPhoto 6
pictures in library flash and then disappear but leave an empty box

Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

File open/download dialog box flashes on the screen, then disappears.

I am upgrading to Firefox 17 (from 3.5.2) on Linux SuSE SLED 10. I am only moving to Firefox 17, as SLED 10 does not support anything higher than that and it is not feasible to upgrade my entire my OS.
My issue is that when clicking on a file on a website, the file dialog box (open with/save) flashes on the screen for a split second then disappears. For items that I have handled by specific applications in mimeTypes.rdf, it does the specified action. However, any file type that I have designated in mimeTypes as "alwaysAsk", I get this issue. I do not have this issue in FF 3.5.2 and I have gone as far as using my 3.5.2 mimeTypes.rdf and prefs.js files on my 17 install and it does not help.
I have looked through many forums and have not been able to determine how to fix this or whether it is fixable in 17.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cannot close user. 'settings' flash on screen and then disappear. Force Quit does not solve it

Applemac used by members of family. One will not close, although I access via the drop down menu top right to change user. I have tried Force Quit (its stuck on Safari) but even that does not work. I thought I would look at settings, but it flashes up, then disappears. It is my husbands account and I have no idea what he has done!! Would like to be able to see settings and also to close as necessary. Help

You can use the Activity Monitor app to force quit apps as well. Activity Monitor is located in HD > Applications > Utilities

Can't open documents - File select screen just flashes and then disappears

In Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Standard - When I open Photoshop, Illustrator, etc. and then try to open a document from one of these programs, the screen where you would select the file to open just flashes and then disappears. This locks me out of the program because it is waiting for a response from me - I can't even exit the program. I have to go to the Task List and close the program from there. This is a new issue - Have had Creative Suite for a while. Does not happen in Word, Excel, etc. I have already tried removing and reinstalling the software - No change. I have minimized all other windows - Still cannot access the file selection screen.

If you have an LCD monitor, make sure it is running at its maximum resolution. After the dialog disappears, try pressing Alt + Spacebar, then M and see if you can find it on the edge of the screen and move it in by pressing arrow keys, press one a few times, then the opposite to bring it back if it didn't show up.

Captivate 6 does not launch - flashes briefly then disappears

I just installed the subscription version of Captiavte 6. When I try to launch the app, the screen briefly flashes for a second or two, and then disappears. The app itself does not launch.
I am on Windows 7, 64 bit. I have a prior version of Captiavte 5.5 (which for various reasons I have not uninstalled yet). Help!

You can have any number of Captivate major versions installed on your PC and they don't usually interfere with one another. (I happen to have versions 3, 4, 5.0, 5.5, 6.1 on my laptop.)
Are you launching Cp6 using Run As Administrator?
If you had previously installed a trial version of Cp6, did you delete the Preferences folder before upgrading or installing 6.1? If not, then do so.
Sometimes Captivate crashes due to corrupted fonts. The usual debug process is to go to your Windows > Fonts folder and cut/paste all non-default fonts out to another folder so that you can check if this is in fact the issue. If Captivate then launches successfully, you start re-installing fonts until you find the one/s responsible for the crash.

Screen flashes... or an application goes full screen then disappears??!

A weird and definitely not-normal phenomenon has been happening lately. Somewhat rarely (every 5-6 hours) it seems like my screen flashes. Very briefly.. less than a second. It almost looks as if theres some application that goes full screen, then disappears, or maybe the screen just flashes. Something is definitely not right.
I don't see anything abnormal in my console though... nor in activity monitor. I've checked for loose connections, etc, and ran hardware tests. Cleared SMC and Pram. I consider myself quite computer savvy, and I install almost no applications, and keep everything nicely optimized.
I'm using a Dell 3007WFP-HC display, FWIW.

Some people started having trouble with 8800GT after 10.5.7. Some even went back to 10.5.6 (good reason to always keep a backup boot system with last OS version).
Or start worrying it is the 8800GT going. Easy to test for IF you have an alternate graphics card handy.
Heat. Summer. 8800's don't do enough to kick in and properly cool the card on its own - single slot cards are not good at cooling and venting.

HT3956 I have tried to connect three MOTU 828mk3's using this new aggregate device listed here, but it wont work any suggestions?

Hi
I am trying to use three 828mk3's with an analouge desk and after creating a new aggregate device in Audio/midi set up it doesn't seem to work, also the blue shaded are doesn't allow me to move the volume up or down?
Any suggetions?
Thanks

Hi
The situation is like this, we have ordered 3 motu 828mk3 AI's to replace old avid hardware. We have a 24 track analogue BIG desk made by langley. The issue is that Logic 9 and Pro tools 10 don't want to use all the sound cards together, if we change the playback engine to MOTU 2 then we can use channels 9-16, then the 3rd one for channels 17-24 etc. Looking around at forums and other sites as lead me to set up a new aggregate device in the audio/midi set up in utilities. Again after we tried this it still doesn't allow us to use all three together. Motu state that you can daisy chain up to 4 devices, i have sent an email to MOTU but have yet to gain a response.

TS5174 We have iPhotos in a shared folder. When my partner tries to view some photos(not all) they flash open, then disappear. This doesn't happen when I log in and open them. Any ideas would be welcome. Thanks.

We have iPhotos in a shared folder so both my pertner and I can access the pictures.
Recently, when my partner tries to open some of the more recent pictures, they open briefly, then disappear. This doesn't happen with all of them, and there doesn't seem to be any link between those that do, and those that don't.
When I try to open them, they open with no problem, and remain open until I close them.
Has anyone any solutions, please?
Thanks.

A shared folder is not sufficient to share an iPhoto library. When you open the library from your account, the ownership and permissions of library items changes.
The safest way to share a library is to put it onto a separate disk or disk partition with the "Ignore Ownership on this volume" flag set. See this document on how to achieve this:
