I've lost all audio and more . . .

Hello Steve and All.
Just when things were going well, something fatal has occurred. I use a mix of MOD files (Panasonic cameras) and AVI files (Canon mini DV camera) and all has gone well with the editing until yesterday.
The problem is that the program (Premier Elements 7) thinks that my media is off-line, but it isn't off-line. When I try to relink, the 'Locate Media' option gives the following error: "The selected file cannot be linked because its type (video) does not match the original file's type (audio and video)."
I cannot proceed from there.
When I try playing other MOD files in my library, I get no sound. When I try playing the MOD file with another program, everything works fine.
Now I am stuck. I cannot get Premier Elements 7 to recognize any of my MOD files. It has worked for months, but this has me at a dead stop.
Last night I ran the Repair Option from the installation program disk and the program began to work again -- but it was time for bed, so I shut down for the night. Tonight, the problem is back and cannot be repaired.
I am stuck in a big way. My deadline for a party video is Christmas, but I cannot proceed.
Please help me. I don't know how to resolve this problem.
Sincerly,
Brian

The problem started part way through the editing process last night. No Windows update was installed.
If one has Window update set to full automatic (default), there are many OS updates that will download and install, and the user never knows about them, unless they require a reboot. Many do not. I just manually downloaded full updates to Office, plus four new hot-fixes for XP-Pro, and none required a reboot. Unless one has changed the default, these things can download and be installed without the user ever knowing about it.
So back to my hypothesis. Could this be from a corrupt file? If so, how can I determine the culprit file?
Glad to hear that things are working for you now. This would be when I would do a Save_As, and a Save_As_a_Copy, just in case. This ARTICLE will give you some of the details on the differences between the three flavors of Save, plus some background on what is in a .PREL file.
About the only way to track down a bad Asset would be to systematically eliminate Assets, testing along the way.
What is the connection for your external? USB externals have been known to have serious read/write issues. I'd look in my Event Viewer, and check for any error, or warning messages. Look especially closely in the links in any, for driver errors, or for Delayed Write Errors. That would point to the USB external.
I have neither encountered, nor have I read of such issues with FW, either 400, or 800.
Good luck, and hope that the Project is completed on time!

  • Added a song to a movie in imovie and lost all audio across all clips. Any help?

    I added a song to a movie in imovie and lost all audio from several clips. Removed the song and audio is still gone. How can I regain original audio once lost after adding song to imovie?

    The audio should still be there.  Select a clip and open the Inspector to the Audio Tab and turn the volume up to 100%.

  • Lost all audio in iMovie '09

    I have suddenly lost all audio while working on project in iMovie '09.  It started when a newly imported video had no audio but my saved project still had its audio.  Then the problem spread to my project also.  Now I have no audio at all.  I've checked the obvious like mute, computer volume...etc.  Any ideas out there?

    No. I did not enter my Admin password. I tried to open the iPhoto library from my User -> Library -> Pictures folder. It said something like "Needs to upgrade.. Upgrade now?" Then, I opened iPhoto and had iPhoto '09 but no new pictures.
    So, I read some forums online and tried to find the Originals folder in my iPhoto library (show package contents) folder. However, showing the package contents was not an option. Fortunately, I back up files and the iPhoto library saved on my external hard drive a few months ago has pictures and the originals folder. I am, however, still missing a few months worth of photos.
    This is what I know:
    When I accessed the iPhoto library file from in User -> Library -> Pictures, it only contained pictures from several years ago. It apparently accessed a different iPhoto library. Maybe that's what the upgrade was for?
    But if it was merely an upgrade or change of some kind, the new pictures should still be present somewhere in the hard drive, which does not appear to be the case.
    And, if iPhoto and the iPhoto library are linked, then the library should not change depending on which way I accessed it.
    I went to User -> Library -> Pictures ->

  • I caught my phone 4. Had to buy a new one, lost all contacts, and calendar photos. how can I recover them

    I caught my phone 4. Had to buy a new one, lost all contacts, and calendar photos. how can I recover them?

    What does "I caught my phone 4" mean?
    All contacts, calendars, photos etc should be on your computer as the iphone is designed to be synced to your computer.
    Just sync them to your new iphone.

  • Our exchange server crashed and we lost all contact and calendar data.  We found an app to get the contacts off of people's phone to import but can't find the same for calendar.  How do I get my calendar info off my phone and in to new exchange server?

    You'd have to think through this, but it seems like if you are using Outlook, and the items vanished from the Outlook client as well as the server,that you could re-populate Outlook using iTunes. 

  • "And the beat goes on...." Lost all playlists and 8.0.2 takes away features

    Upgrade to 8.0.2 has been a disaster-beware out there. Lost all playlists and have yet to get an answer on how to fix that problem so am just going to create new playlists(could be a good thing).
    The latest f...up is that 8.0.2 seems to have taken away the option of creating a "smart shuffle" with songs being played less randomly-used to go to Preferences, Playback, and one of the options was a slider where you could choose how random your shuffle would be. Now there is no slider for that and I keep hearing the same songs constantly in my "random shuffle".
    This is one of the reasons people are warned not to ever upgrade your itunes-because Apple ALWAYS takes away features from their customers in their latest upgrades-it's their whole corporate philosophy and mindset. They don't care for their customers-just want to appear "cool" and above everyone else(sometimes called arrogance).
    So, is there a way to get the random slider back? Can I "downgrade" my itunes so I can get features that have been stolen from us by Apple?

    You might have had a damaged 'iTunes Library' file.
    Look in ./Users/Username/Music/iTunes to see if such a file exists.
    Unfortunately these damaged files cannot be repaired.
    iTunes tries to restore as much information as possible, but some information is lost.
    Your missing 2000 tunes probably still are on your HD.
    To add these again to the library, drop the 'iTunes Music' folder (in ./Users/Username/Music/iTunes) on the library window in iTunes.
    iTunes will now add the missing songs to the library again.
    If all goes well, your library will now list the 6200 songs.
    Concerning your iPod. I think it's best to start from scratch.
    If your iPod is set to automatically update, connect your iPod and immediately press and hold the Command and Option keys. Hold these keys down until the iPod appears in iTunes.
    Holding these keys prevents the iPod from auto updating.
    Then restore your iPod and set it up the way you want.
    Your 'Purchased' playlist will re-appear on your next purchase.
    In the meantime you can create a Smart Playlist with the rule:
    Kind - contains - protected
    This playlist will then list all your purchases.
    After the Purchased playlist re-appears, it will only list new purchases. If you want it to contain all purchases, drag the songs from the Smart Playlist to the 'Purchased' playlist.
    Or just forget the 'Purchased' playlist and use the 'Smart Playlist' to view your purchases.
    Hope this helps.

    Updated to ios 5 and itunes 10.5 for my iphone and now i lost all apps and songs that i had downloaded in the past. how do i get everything back?

    in order to restore your songs and apps, you should just reconnect to itunes and sync your data. your phone ran a backup before it upgraded, and you can also do a restore. but the key is still to go to your itunes and sync back to your phone what you wanted there in the first place.

  • Lost all contents and settings during 'routine' update to v1.1

    Hi all,
    Not too sure what went wrong, but I lost all settings and data during what I thought would be a routine firmware update.
    In the middle of the update, the phone hung, and the PC gave me the error message that it needed to restore to what turns out to be factory settings. All settings, data, notes and pictures were gone! (no warning given!)
    Since I didn't have a chance to download these before I got started, I'm not too sure what to say - if you see a way of backing up your phone before you update the firmware, I'd recommend that you do it.
    I've updated a lot of firmware in my life - I'd have to say this is the worst and the first time ever that I've lost data.
    In case anyone from Apple monitors this site - is there a way to seperate the data and the firmware area, so that if this kind of thing happens, you only wipe the firmware area?
    The phone even initially told me I had to re-register and only offered me a way to make an emergency call ...

    Have you docked your Iphone in before updating? If so your contacts and settings should be saved. Yes your picture's are going to gone because you have to manually save them. According to this post http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1069906&tstart=0 it looks like the activation is down with ATT so this is why you are having problems getting all your contacts and settings and having to reactivate.

  • Lost all contacts and dial pad on iphone 3gs after update

    Hi, please can someone help, ive lost all contacts and the abillity to add , also my dial pad wont work, all after update , i cant even re ad contacts through my messages.

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.  For some reason, are you not using the device as designed?
    As for other issues... basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Has any of this been tried?
