Is this normal audio meter behaviour? Seems a little funky to me...

I've seen some strange audio metering behaviour in the past so delved into it a little...
I created a sequence with two 'standard' tracks and cut in mono tone to both tracks.
I panned A1 to the left (in the clip mixer) and A2 to the right
I increased the gain on the A1 clip by 10dB for identification purposes.
When I mute A2 I get the following on the meters:
and everything appears as I would expect. A1 is a stereo track, but is panned left so only has audio showing on the left leg - and this is replicated on the A1 track mixer meter and on the master output meter on both the track mixer and the main meters. All good so far.
When I unmute A2 and mute A1 I get the following:
again all as expected, this time on the right leg.
When I unmute A1 and listen to both tracks I get the following:
Now the master output metering is correct but I do not understand why the right leg of A1 clip & track mixers are showing level, nor the left leg of A2. Bug?

Hi Tofig,
As you rightly said, this behaviour is by design.
As far as I understand, the owners need not be given the approver permission considering them to be mostly from technical background. They may not necessarily be good at content authoring and design and keeping them away from the approver group may
avoid any language related goof-ups (punctuations, grammatical errors etc.)
On the other hand, if they are good at content authoring, the site owners can be included in the Approver group, to avoid getting this message. This message also goes away once any of the user under Approver group, approves the changes.

Hi I seem have created duplicate preference files With the suffix "lock file". Is this normal? Thanks Geoff

I just been looking in my preference file folder to throw away the preferences for Final Cut and there seems to be duplications of the preference files with the suffix “lock file". Is this normal in OS 10.7? I look forward to any advice.
Many thanks Geoff

I ended up logging an SR on Metalink. Here's the answer I got back:

Yes, 500 MB is normal for 11.1.0.7.
First, you are correct, there is a log rotation policy. This is done automatically by Oracle for the Crsd, Ocssd, Evmd logs .
The default size of the cssd log after which they would be recycled in previous versions was 10MB. This has changed in 11.1.0.7 such that the size after which the logs are recycled is 50MB. This means that customers may see an increase in the CRS_HOME required from 100MB to 500MB. Customers whose home size cannot accommodate this should move the old ocssd.l0* files to another destination. Please do not move the existing ocssd.log file.

HT3819 Have just set home sharing, but on the computer it as been shared with all my tracks have come up individually and there are no sign og selecting my playlists. Is this normal and also there is no sign of my audio books.??? Any advice appreciated .

I have just set up home sharing, but all that has come up on the new computer is all my individual tracks and not my playlists, also there are no sign of my audio books... Is this normal?? Any advice appreciated...

I'm sorry, but your sister, unless she had already turned on the "Find my iPhone" feature and the person who took the phone has not disabled it, is out of luck. She should report the theft to local police authorities, including the serial number of her iPhone. While her experience is unfortunate, there are good reasons why Apple cannot do anything else about it.
I hope she gets her phone back.
Best of luck.

Hi, I've been trying to configure my MacBook Air to the iCloud and for the last 3 days it's still uploading my calender. Also a few entries made to the calender in the last few days seem to have gone missing. Is this normal? How long will the upload take?

Is this normal behaviour?

I close the lid of my macbook pro, it goes to sleep pretty much straight away (the indicator starts breathing), I put it in my bag and head off.
When I take it out of my bag a few hours later, the power is off, and it wont turn on - I guess it woke up in my bag and ran itself out of battery (I know this should NOT happen but is quite common, this isn't the behavior I'm querying about).
So I connect the AC adapter to my mbp, the little light on the adapter tip goes orange (charging). When i switch on my mbp the screen goes that light blue/grey whatever it is... but just freezes, it doesnt even do the very first chime.
I switch it off again, and let it charge for about half an hour, then switcheit on, and the same thing happens! Wont get past the initial light screen BEFORE the chime.
I let it charge over night, and now I can switch it on.
Is this normal? I.e. when the battery is fully drained, can you not run the MBP off the AC?

i have to agree about the odd behavior regarding the mbp waking while closed. it seems like i notice this too. one thing i thought of is the power settings- if they are set to wake or whatever at a certain time.
i don't know about your issue on restarting (failure of it). in my case when i was dead from no power, it seems to start with the power plugged in. BUT i do have issues similar but differant than yours.in my case if the mbp doesn't start at tht point i have to do a HARD restart- and just hold the power button down. this may not be related to the charge/power. but more like the sleep state locked up the system. my screen stays black and will either show the spinning wheel, or noththing. so similar but a different scenario than yours.
one big question is WHY if they are asleep are they waking?
related point: if it can wake while closed, why can't we purposely keep the mbp running while closed? LOL
seriously though, i know people say to preotect the HD while carrying the laptop etc. BUT ther are so many times when i want to close the mbp while running!! like playing itunes to a stereo- i don't want o keep the mbp open, and i just want to set it on the table or something. BUT I want to keep playing music. or perhaps close the lid, while doing a 20minute virus scan, or close the lid while other stuff. but i don't want to leave the lid open while doing any o fthese things.
seems odd, if the mbp can wake on it's own while closed, why can't we keep it awake while closed?

Lumia 800 Keyboard Problem - Is this Normal?

When using some apps (Facebook, for example) the virtual keyboard becomes partially unresponsive - pressing any key in the bottom two rows is almost impossible. Also, in the messaging app, the 'send' button is inactive when the keyboard is visible. I have to press the 'Back' button to dismis the keyboard before I can press send.
I have set a passcode to protect the phone. Sometimes the keypad for entering the code shows the same behaviour, some of the keys are unresponsive.
Switching the display off and on usually restores the keys.
In all other respects the phone seems to be ok.
Is this normal?

Not normal, at least not for me, only nit picking I have is that when the keyboard is visible, and I'm in portrait mode typing a text message, I have to hit the bottom part of the send button, otherwise it registers as a comma.
But I have no unresponsiveness in the lock screen or anywhere else, only "lag" I've experienced is in IE when typing something in an input box, the letters sometimes lag behind for a second or less if I've just zoomed in.
Works like a charm, like my old iPhone.

New Ipad continues to draw down battery even after cover is closed. Is this normal?

Even though I close the cover and can hear the magnetic switch shut off the Ipad, it continues to draw down my battery, is this normal?
Screen does go blank

I've read different opinions (and personal stories) about whether the battery drains in sleep mode. All I know is that mine does not seem to drain. I was just noticing this last night. Before I went to bed my battery meter read 97%. I simply closed the smart cover to put it in sleep mode (I heard the click). When I opened the cover this morning it was still at 97%. I used it for about 15 minutes and only then did it drop to 96%. I did not turn off any wifi or location settings.
I should disclose that my battery meter was acting weird the other day. After a full charge, it was stuck on 100% during a few hours of light use (internet, email, kindle) before dropping again. Maybe my meter is just screwed up, but it seemed to be back to normal again and draining at a normal rate prior to my observation about it not draining at all during sleep mode.

250 GIG drive formats to only 233 GIGs. Is this normal?

Hello,
I have read that when you format a drive the file system takes some of the space on this disk. I just formatted a new 250 Hitachi T7K250 SATA drive and it formats to 232.67 GIGs. Does this sound right? I thought it might result in about 240 GIGs but it seems to me I am loosing some disk space somewhere. Or is this normal? I thought I would write this post just to confirm that this is normal hard drive formatting behaviour.
I formatted the disk with Tiger's Disk Utility and I chose the "write zeros" option.
I have also read that there may appear to be lost space on the drive due to the various ways Gigabytes are measured.
Is 233 Gigs a normal formatted amount for a 250 Gig drive?
Thanks.

Not exactly. Can you express it in powers of 1024?
Yes. Inherently, however, it's all powers of 2.
That's right but you are not using the the powers 2^x, (x not equal
10,20,30,...), so effectively you are using base 1024.
2^10 equals 1024^1, which is 1 kilobyte.
2^20 equals 1024^2, which is 1 megabyte.
2^30 equals 1024^3, which is 1 gigabyte.
Exactly and only powers of 1024 have a name. So when it comes to drive sizes only powers of 1024 are relevent.
So actually you are using
1024^1 = 2^10 (kilo)
1024^2 = 2^20 (mega)
1024^3 = 2^30 (giga)
So, drive sizes are specified as powers of 2, which
can also be expressed as powers of 1024 (but computer
scientists never talk about powers of 1024, they talk
about powers of 2).
Yes but sometimes if makes sense to talk in powers of 16 (hexadecimal) and
powers of 1024. It used mainly because it can be expressed as a power of two, but still the base remains 16 or 1024.

Audio Meter Issue

I'm having an interesting audio meter problem. Working on a DVCAM project in 6.0.2. Audio is captured as mono tracks. The audio meter doesn't show separate levels for channels 1 and 2. If I make the clip a linked stereo it show separate levels. When I remove the linked stereo and go back to mono the levels stay separated. I changed the sequence output to dual mono and it seems to have solved the problem but I think I may be missing a setting for the normal audio channel monitoring. Any ideas?

Source meters on the audio mixer read independent levels. It's the timeline meter that doesn't. I always thought it was a source reference.

I created a form, I want the email notices to go to several people. Why is this so difficult? It seems like they have to be a co-author/reader or something? I don't get it

I created a form, I want the email notices to go to several people. Why is this so difficult? It seems like they have to be a co-author/reader or something? I don't get it

This is crazy! I paid for this service to make it easier to create forms for a company that has had several acquisitions all over the globe. This was supposed to make it easy to create forms hosted on adobe so no matter what happens on all their servers, we would be safe using this forms service until we can integrate all acquisitions and build a permanent web site on a single server. Now I find out that even this is a major issue sending emails to team members, many I have never met so making them a collaborator or even setting up forwarded emails is not something I wanted to do. This service was advertised as simple and easily send notifications to many people. I am now frustrated and thinking this was a waste of money! Why is it like that?

I ordered the full creative cloud on sunday and received an order number but still can't open any of the programs. When i check the status of my order online, it says it can't find it. Is this normal after 3 days?

I ordered the full creative cloud on sunday and received an order number but still can't open any of the programs. When i check the status of my order online, it says it can't find it. Is this normal after 3 days? I tried asking in a chat window instead of the forum but no one answered and after about ten minutes my screen restarted and closed the chat window down. It seems a little frustrating not knowing what happened to my order and not being able to contact anyone. Is all this usual with Adobe or are they just having technical problems this week?

Battery percentage indicator takes a little while to update when resuming from sleep - is this normal?

Hi folks,
I recently bought a new MacBook Pro with Retina (13") and have noticed a pecularity with the battery indicator that I'd appreciate an opinion on please.
I've charged my MBPr battery to full (100% on the menu bar and green light on the MagSafe connector). I disconnect the power and close the lid which puts that MacBook to sleep. After leaving it overnight, I open the lid and and the unlock screen shows the percentage battery having gone down by a couple of percent (which I take to be normal) - e.g. 98%. However, when I unlock and get back to the desktop, it's still showing as 100%. Clicking on the battery icon, it shows as calculating the amount of time left. After about a minute or so, it tells me how much estimated time I've got left, and the percentage indicator updates to give me the correct percentage. When using it normally, the percentage indicator drops on the desktop as I would expect it to.
Is this normal for it to give the correct percentage on the unlock screen, but then to give the original (pre-sleep) percentage when unlocked, until it has updated and worked out how much time it's got left on battery?
I've read elsewhere that many folks have been having issues with the battery indicator since Mavericks rolled out, and there are some resets that can be done by pressing various key combinations whilst powering on. I've had the MacBook only a few days, and haven't installed anything on it - it hasn't even been connected to the internet yet - so I assumed that it should be working correctly from the off - unless there's something buggy with Mavericks causing this?
I would normally shut down a computer overnight, but I like how the MBP instantly resumes when I open the lid. Am also wondering whether it'll take a few charge cycles before the battery reaches full capacity and is properly calibrated. The system report shows that it shipped to me having undergone only 3 charge cycles to date.
Any opinions would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Gopha

After some more testing:
Disabling the battery percentage indicator and then re-enabling it causes the percentage value to update to the 'correct' value. Rebooting the MacBook also causes it to update to the correct value.
Seems like I'm not the only one with this particular issue: https://discussions.apple.com/message/24402123#24402123

as a newbie to Macs and Mavericks, am I right in saying that there is currently an issue with Mavericks?

Fan is alway running on my new dv7-4290us. Should I exchange for a new one or is this normal?

I just got my new dv7-4290us from the HP store and after a little while of playing with it, I noticed that the fan seems to always be running. It's not spinning very fast, just kind of a soft blowing or purring sound but audible for sure. Is this normal for this notebook or notebooks with quad cores and dedicated graphics? I called HP tech support and asked them if it was normal for the fan to run all the time, but they where kind of clueless with, 3 different guys giving me 3 different answers. I did mess around with some power management settings and the HP Thermal program but that didn't help. Turning off the fan always on setting in the bios just causes the fan to blow up every 20 seconds, so that is not a solution. There wasn't a bios update on the driver page, so I don't know about that as a fix. Otherwise everything seems to be functioning properly with no BSOD or lockups so far. The computer doesn't seem to be running hot (core temps stay under 50°c under light load) and the fan doesn't sound unhealthy like it has a bad bearing or anything. I just want to know if the fan always running at a low speed thing is normal on these machines. From my expereince with notebooks the fan alway running is a sign that your system is not cooling properly, so I wanted to get a second opinion from fellow users before I go through the hastle of exchanging this for a new one.

Does this happen on AC power only? There maybe an option in BIOS for 'Fan always on while on AC power'.

I am backing up to my time capsule for the first time. It has been stuck on 348mb of 20.1 gb for days. Is this normal or is the machine not functioning correctly?

That seems to be OK via WLAN!
It ist better to do the first backup via LAN-cable.

Is this normal audio meter behaviour? Seems a little funky to me...
