I'm having issues with audio apps randomly stopping and starting. Also, Siri just randomly opens. For example, podcasts will stop playing in the middle of a playback. Do you have any thoughts?

So I noticed the problem with the app iHeart Radio. While listening to the app, it would stop playing without any noticeable issues. For example, I'm on a WiFi network, operating it where I normally had no issues. I deleted the app because if became so annoying. I now notice the same issues with podcast app when playing back a downloaded program. Also, more than a few times of the day Siri will just randomly open. I am wondering what options do I have to discover the problem. COuld it be the most recent IOS update? I don't want to have to restore an old backup and loose data.

It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

Any one having issues with newsstand apps after updating to iOS 6?

Not a single one is working now. Just says "loading" for a big then quits back to the home screen. Could this just be the individual apps not having updated themselves?

Hi guys I know what u mean. This is ridiculous about paying them money for technical support when there is problem from apple side not from us. No wonder there share price is going down and Samsung is taking our the Apple. If its gonna carry on like this then I won't be surprise apple will be in category with Nokia n blackberry. All I can suggest is if your phone is still under apple 1year warranty them make an Genius Bar appointment take to to apple store. Hopefully they will solve this issue but then again there is nothing wrong with our iPhones it's the bloody iOS 6.1 update which has got bugs that drains the battery out. My second suggestion is we should scrap the crap apple and move to android if apple not willing to solve our issues.

STP2 having issues with audio fixes

For the first month I had STP2 bringing audio files, whether from FCP or just AIFFs from standalone, I was always able to run the power line hum and clicks/pop analysis with no problem. I was even able to apply the fixes with no problem.
Now, just recently, I can run the analysis but when I try to apply the fixes it will get about 75% through the file and then STP2 will throw an error. The errors have changed from stating it couldn't write the file to just the application freezing to others I can't remember.
Anyone have the same problem or an idea on the fix? I have more than enough hard drive space and RAM to do this with, and never had a problem until recently. Even created a new user just to see if it was a corrupt install of the software or my OS, no luck.
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Here is a screenshot of one of the errors.
Have trashed the preferences file, emptied the cache, and just about everything. No matter what file I bring in now it does this.

Stutter...issues with audio/video...and this is a common glitch?

Okay...sorry to start another thread, but I don't want what I'm coming to understand to get buried in another thread, as I'm getting at the gist of this now I think.
My experience of my 55 minute movie getting dogged down, out of sync, video freezing and such...(after reading the link Karl provided) seems to infer that this is a common problem and one that is frustrating quite a few Mac/iMovie owners. I read over the number of threads on "stutter" and should I buy a stand alone Intel Duo 2 Core computer with iMovie6 and Final Cut Express loaded... I'm likely to have the same problem regardless, because this seems to be an issue and bug...
It was something else reading members suggesting to "try this"..."try that"...export the film back to the digital camera but in small portions. Turn small sections into Quicktime...and then try to load them into iDVD as chapters. Good grief.
If I've got the money allocated to me to purchase this new Intel...plus an external hard drive...I'm wondering why not instead invest in Adobe Premier 2.0 and Adobe Encore DVD for our PC's in the PC lab? We already have Adobe Photoshop 7.0 on those anyway..and it must be a good program as Apple goes, as I understand Adobe is making a future come back with this software for Mac.
Any thoughts why THAT direction might not be the best way to go?
I can't see trying to teach my kids to play this jump around try this...try that game with iMovie if this "stutter" thing is as common as I was reading.
You know...life gets a little this versus that. Harley folks versus the Honda. Chevy versus the Ford....but, we have both a Mac and a PC lab. I'm an artist and teacher and only interested in what's going to work...so, I share that not because I am biased one way or the other. I'm looking for solutions and don't want the school board and administration breathing down my back...if you know what I mean... $$$$$$
thanks

I've heard it said a couple times (me...I wouldn't
know as I'm somewhat a newbie to this stuff), but
that iMovie is kinda a basic fun level not too
serious video editing software. Good for your 3-6
minute YouTube variety videos, but not more
professional. Then again, I read one member here
saying they produced a six hour video with 400 still
images. Didn't say what they had for sound though.
People say lots of things about iMovie, sometimes with little or no knowledge. Suggesting that iMovie can handle only 3-6 minute movies is an example.
iMovie can do lots of things, but iMovie isn't a professional application so there are things it can't do. You can't create a multi-layer video clip, for example, where one video image slides across another behind it. But you CAN create multiple (static) layers of video in QuickTime Pro — which every serious iMovie user should have, in my opinion — and import that clip to iMovie. So if you want a picture-in-picture effect, you can have it in iMovie.
The success of a movie made with iMovie depends more on creativity and knowledge of the software than anything else. And like any application, you gotta learn the bugs, and how to deal with them.
Don't forget the huge advantage iMovie offers: the learning curve is not nearly as long or steep as professional editors. If you want to spend most of your time teaching about the software, use a professional application. If you want to spend your time teaching about making great movies, iMovie may be a very good choice.
One thing I haven't done is to look over my Sonar 3
music producing software for which we record music.
You know how it is...you get into this routine that
works again and again, and mindlessly I just save to
wav. format. I'll have to look...but I'm sure there
are any number of audio formats that could be burned
as voiceovers. Not familiar with AIFF...
AIFF is one of many audio formats supported by QuickTIme, the system software iMovie is based on. It is the audio format used by commercial audio CDs. It's what iMovie uses too. Any audio file you import to iMovie is (automatically) converted to AIFF. The audio of all video imported from a video camera is converted to AIFF.
Some audio files convert better than others. Sometimes non-AIFF songs imported from iTunes convert poorly, for example, and can cause stutter. I suspect it has to do with the compression of those files by iTunes, but I don't know that for sure.
I take it AIFF must be a bit like a .gif or .jpeg
photo image over a large .TIFF image? Condensed and
smaller. Is there much detectable noticeable
difference in quality?
Actually, AIFF is like the .TIFF image. It's the large, high-quality audio format.
Now...also Karl, you say you've never seen this
problem so...it could be that we'd clear this issue
simply by getting a stand alone machine and external
drive...but unless perhaps I go about producing my
audio tracks differently...we might still have the
same problems.
No, if the number of audio clips is causing the stutter, a standalone machine may not prevent it.
Have you tried moving your iMovie project to your local machine and testing it for stutter? That should provide a clue whether stutter is caused by, made worse by, or not affected by the network.
What...do most people use some kind of microphone
plugged into the computer to make voice overs?
Yes. Our voiceovers are automatically added to the iMovie project as AIFF files.
For voiceovers I use a simple Radio Shack combo headphone/mic plugged into a Griffin iMic, plugged into a USB port. Total cost: about $60.
With a professional studio, I can remove silence
noise, master sound and so forth. Garageband does
all that quite easily?
Sorry, no idea. (I don't use GarageBand.)
You've not heard much about the "stutter" issue...I
think it was oe of the posts where I was advised to
check out a link. When I searched "stutter" I got a
feeling for what others are doing, but no real SIMPLE
solution seemed to have been resolved to go about
dealing with it. Certainly nothing that I could
realistically teach HS students. They need a user
friendly option pure and simple.
I agree you need a user friendly solution. But the first step is to figure out what's causing the problem. then decide whether that's going to be a common problem in your lab. If the stutter you see is caused by having 100 audio clips in the project, but 99% of your projects have fewer than 80, it won't be a big problem. You can use a workaround if/when stutter occurs on the occasional project. (I wouldn't want to waste lots of time teaching workarounds, it doesn't hurt for students to learn a bit about workarounds too.)
One last thing...you mention "exporting the audio
clips" and then "importing them back" to convert to
AIFF...
you are doing this right from iMovie..and then what
or where are you doing this conversion?
Yes, it's all done in iMovie. iMovie lets us export the audio from a portion of the Timeline to an AIFF file, then re-import it.
The large "stutter topic" linked to earlier describes Workaround 4, how to combine audio clips.
Here's a link to that workaround:

That message is part of the much longer "stutter thread". If you haven't read the first message of that thread, you should. It describes how to test your project to learn whether the number of audio clips is causing stutter.
You mentioned you are importing .wav files to the iMovie project. That MAY be causing the problem. iMovie converts them to AIFF, and like a few iTunes songs, it's possible that conversion isn't going well. You need to rule it out as the cause. Your audio software should let you create AIFF files too.

Having Issues with iTunes 10.5.3 and uninstalled. Cannot reinstall without upgrading to newest Snow Leopard? Using MacBook Pro running 10.5.8.

Running OS X Leopard 10.5.8 and was having issues with my version of iTunes 10.5.3 (freezing and getting rainbow spinny wheel, not allowing me to do anything, while importing music from a different folder into the iTunes). Anyway, so I uninstalled iTunes and went to download the newest version (10.7 i believe) and after downloading and attempting to install, i was alerted that I cannot install and run this application without having the newest version of OS X 10.6 i believe. So, what I'm ultimately trying to figure out is if I need to spend $130(that i do not have) on Amazon to get the Snow Leopard 10.6.3 then pay another $20 in the App Store to upgrade to Mountain Lion as well? I need to have iTunes on this laptop due to having an iPhone 4 that needs to be able to be synced on this computer. Bottom Line is, I don't have really have $150 to upgrade all this at the current moment just to get iTunes back on my system. Any suggestions or am I basically having to drop the $150 just to get iTunes back so I can sync my iPhone 4 again? Ugh, this *****, really wish i hadn't uninstalled that version of iTunes..HELP!!! thanks in advance..

Click here and install the software. If you decide to upgrade to 10.6 at some future point, phone the online Apple Store.

After the recent update I am having issues with Flash based games freezing and not responding.

After the recent update I am having issues with flash based programs not running or loading correctly. The programs will not load or take an extremely long time to load compared to jsut a few days ago. This happens across the board on anything flash based. Also, once they do load they will freeze, stop responding or need to be constantly refreshed to come back alive which is short lived at best. I went thru the help and did all the file deleting, cache clearing, disabling hardware acceleration, removing then reinstalling flash, and even removing and reinstalling my browsers. None of this has helped at all. I am using Chrome and it is up to date and I checked my Flash player and it is up to date. I am running windows 7 64bit.

Here's what you're up against guys,
Adobe writes the base code for Flash Player, and then hands it off to Google, who adapt it to a PPAPI plug-in (it's NPAPI when Adobe writes it). It's then "PepperFlash" and Google embeds it in their Chrome browser. While Google is pushing a "webwide" move to PPAPI Flash Content, a reinvention of the wheel so to speak, not everyone "got the memo", and Google is slowly making it so that PepperFlash will block NPAPI Flash content from running properly, and you have to disable PepperFlash to force the NPAPI plug-in to work, which sometimes fixes it, sometimes not. I have a feeling this is only going to get worse. HTML5 will eventually resolve the video end but game developers need to come up with something that won't require a plug-in.
And to the first post: Since PepperFlash is embedded in Chrome by Google, you can uninstall and reinstall Flash Player from here until your hard drive literally seizes up.... guess what? It has NO EFFECT at all on the PepperFlash plug-in in Chrome because it's a separate file in a separate folder and the uninstaller & installers don't have anything to do with it.

I was having issues with my 80G Video iPod and had to restore it, but now it seems all of my music on it previously is "corrupt" . How did all my songs get corrupted and how do I fix them?

I was having issues with syncing my 80G video iPod, so I restored it, and now all my songs in my library are "corrupted" and I can't get them back on my iPod. I keep getting error(-69). How did my songs all get corrupted, and how do I fix this without having to purchase these songs all over again?

I'm having issues with my apple wireless keyboard and bootcamp 5

I'm having issues with my apple wireless keyboard.
I just bought an Apple Wireless Keyboard for my ThinkPad E430 but the keys are not compatible.
I installed BootCamp 5 and it worked great but whenever I restart, it changes my system's time.

What do you mean by racing around in circles? Have you done any damage to your phone? Like drop it or get it wet?

While playing videos on itunes, audio and video will stop and start. It just started doing this recently and it does it with all my itunes videos..help!!

While playing videos on itunes, the audio and video will stop and start several times during playback. This just started recently and it does it on all my videos. Help!!

Try to download the application VLC.
It is a media player that should be able to play any audio or video file you may have. If your videos play flawlessly using that application, then the issue is with iTunes and Quicktime, as they are both essentially similar software types when it comes to playing media.
In that case you may need to install a plug-in file called Perian, in order for the videos to play correctly within iTunes or at least Quicktime...

Having issue with audio rendering

The original .mov file, when played back in quicktime AND in the viewer of final cut plays back smoothly and without error.
I bring it into the timeline, and I have to render the audio for playback, which I think is normal. However, when the render is completed, it doesn't take very long for the audio to start being REALLY strange. Remember how an old cassette player sounded when the batteries were dying? How the voice of who ever you were listening to would become really deep and slow? That's what the audio sounds like. What's up with that? Is there anyway to fix it?

when played back in quicktime AND in the viewer of final cut plays back smoothly.
Because FCP's Viewer and QuickTime Player simply play back what you actually have, regardless of its format.
I bring it into the timeline, and I have to render the audio for playback...
Now you are asking the audio to conform to the specifications of a particular codec as set up in Sequence > Settings. If it does not, you will have to render every time that a change is made.
As a rule, FCP expects digital audio to use a 48kHz sampling rate and be in AIFF format.
If yours came from an audio CD (44.1kHz) or an mp3 file, for example, it does not conform and might well produce unexpected results. Resample the audio to the correct specifications using Soundtrack, Compressor or QuickTime Player.

I have Snow Leopard 10.6 and I am having issues with M/S Word 2004 and G-mail. I can only open docs sent to me in g-mail on google doc?

Is there a compatability issue with Microsoft Word 2004 and Snow Leopard or is it G-Mail? I am using Safari with a G-mail account.

Will upgrading to 2011 correct my issue that I can not open a pdf or word doc in G-mail or could it be a g-mail setting? I can open these docs outside of G-mail, but I am also having issues sending them without the docs becoming slightly modified enroute.

I'm having issues with audio apps randomly stopping and starting. Also, Siri just randomly opens. For example, podcasts will stop playing in the middle of a playback. Do you have any thoughts?
