Issue with Random Blocks of Audio disappearing from Timeline

I am having a problem with seemingly random blocks of audio tracks disappearing from my edit. I will be scrolling through somewhere I haven't worked on or even looked at, in a few hours or days, and I'll be missing chunks of audio. At first I thought I was just losing my mind, but I can see that transitions that I've tacked on at the ends to fade in/out are still there in their "storylines", just floating by themselves. Its almost like they were just straight up deleted by hand. But I know that I didn't do any such thing. So, what is going on? This isn't the first time its happened, and its impossible to know when it does, so I could end up losing hours of work reverting to a backup. But it is equally frustrating (slowly) flicking back and forth between two projects to copy the audio tracks back every few days. It also mostly seems to happen on audio with transitions/crossfades, but I have found a few places where it has just been reduced to 1 frame. Weird.
I am working on a fairly complex film about 45 minutes in length, with compound clips of synced interviews cut up in the "Main" storyline, then with action shots and info stacked on top, and some 1-3 minute music tracks and video-less narrations below. Working on a 5 month old MBP, 10.9.5, 16gb ram, everything's up to date
I just need this to stop happening is the main thing. What can I do about it? It is very frustrating that these bugs are still popping up all the time. Not a thing that should be expected from a "pro" application.
Thanks for any insight.
Screen Shot below is example: you can see where 4blocks have been deleted, just leaving the crossfades hanging. Extremely annoying, and time wasting.

This is a user forum. I have not seen the issue you describe before.
You could use the Provide Feedback command in the application to give feedback to Apple.

Layer disappeared from timeline

I'm creating some banners with Edge Animate for the first time.
I started with the biggest one, now I need to create some more downscaled versions.
Clearly the easiest and fastes way is to duplicate the edge project and modify the layers size position etc...
Duplicating the project folder and changing the file name didn't work for me (gave error "edge can't read the html file"), so I managed to do it with "save as" and changing the "project1.an" name to a new one in a clean folder. When opened, Edge creates all the assets referencing the new name.
Everything ok until here, but then I noticed that the top layer "link" (it was a hidden clickable div with the banner link) has disappeared from timeline, but it's still present in the "elements" tab.
The link was still working, then after a couple of cmd+return it disappeared also from the stage.
I created a new rectangular div with the tool, but the new one is also not present in the timeline but only in the "elements" tab.
Now I'm worried that this could cause problems on publishing or future edits. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks for your help.

Never mind, after this post I already found the answer.
I had checked without noticing the button at the bottom of timeline "Only Show Animated Elements".
Unchecking all the layers were there.
Hope this can help if anyone has accidentally the same problem!

I just restored my 13" MBP i5 at the apple store to the newest version of Lion after issues with a previous Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard- this time I created a new account and just ported files and folders, and now MS Office doesn't work. Help?

I just restored my 13" MBP i5 at the apple store to the newest version of Lion after issues with a previous Time Machine backup from Snow Leopard- this time I created a new account and just ported files and folders, and now MS Office doesn't work.
^^ that's the main problem. Here's the full history.
I bought a new 13" i5 MBP, early 2011 edition. I had an old white Macbook 2.14 ghz core2duo on Snow Leopard. I attempted to port over my time machine backup, but encountered problems in that my User was inaccessible from the new computer after the import finished, and I had to go in and change the root password, etc, and for some reason or another, I couldn't install any programs at all from that administrator's account. By "couldn't" I mean I could install them, but upon installation they would never boot. So, I took it to the apple store and did a clean install from the most up to date Lion OSX. Then, I created a brand new admin account, instead of trying to import the old one, and things seemed great. Then, I just imported my old files from the TM backup, but not any system settings, permissions, or user data. Just my Docs, pics, vids, apps, and itunes stuff.
Here's where things get weird again. I imported this stuff under the name "old", but all of these folders have a red negative sign on them, marking them as restricted. So, from my main admin account, I cannot even peruse these folders. Since I didn't import user data, I can't sign in to the "old" account to change permissions. I already tried to change the permissions from system preferences, but that didn't change anything. And now, for whatever reason, of all the apps that were imported then, MS Office is the only set of apps that does not work. When I click on it, it just says there was a problem and asks if I'd like to send a report to apple. I tried reinstalling it to no avail. I'm an English student, so i really need access to Word. Can anyone help? The Apple store is a major detour for me and would like to fix this issue myself.

Most likely you have Office 2004 which are PPC-only applications and will not work in Lion. Upgrade to Office 2011. Other alternatives are:
Apple's iWork suite (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.)
Open Office (Office 2007-like suite compatible with OS X.)
NeoOffice (similar to Open Office.)
LibreOffice (a new direction for the Open Office suite.)

Hi am having issues with getting the list of users from the Active Director

Hi am having issues with getting the list of users from the Active Directory, can anyone help me with this!

Hi Jason,
Try this:
1. In Ultiboard select Tools>>Netlist Editor>>Pins, press the Delete button
2. Select all nets in the Select the Net to Delete dialog and then press the Delete button. This will clear all nets in the layout, don't worry all traces, parts are still on the design.
3. Go to Multisim and select Transfer>>Forward annotate to Ultiboard. This will add all nets that you removed back and it should fix the pin problem

Is anyone else having issues with their mail , where the reply from the person you just contacted contains very old emails from a different contact ?

Is anyone else having issues with their mail , where the reply from the person you just contacted contains very old emails from a different contact ?

I mean that I sent an email to a contact of mine yesterday. His reply contained a stream of very old emails I had received in 2009 from a totally different contact all together !! The reply email was in my inbox as being from the original person I sent the email to. This is starting to happen more regularly now , so is a problem !

Drag & drop audio clip from timeline to project window ?

i no longer can drag a clip from timeline to the project window & then breakout the clip to mono by selecting clip - audio options- breakout to mono - now when i drop an audio clip from timeline into the project window it does not show up anywhere in the project window - did an update get rid of this function ? it was much better than having to go back to the unedited original source & start from scratch ...

thanx for your time Jim - i understand that would be the preferred method but that was a quick fix until recently i have noticed that i can no longer do it by just grabbing the edited clip & drop it in project window so that i can modify just that portion of the original files properties - it still functions that way on a friends machine - was just kinda weird that i can't get it to work that way any more …

Anyone having problems with art/animation/audio disappearing from the timeline after a save?

Hello,
I'm having problems with many files losing their assets from the timeline after a save and reopening the file in Mac OS X Snow Leopard. This is happens quite often now and there seems to be no pattern to it. For example, I will open an existing Flash animation complete with sound and artwork, make changes to the animation timing, test the SWF and everything looks good, then save. After reopening the exact same file, there will be audio that was on the timeline will be an empty frame. In addition, there is art work that was swapped out or updated to a character and the symbols becomes empty after reopening. I'm losing days and hours of work and I can't seem to find any answers or help to figure out what's going on.
Any insight would be appreciated!
thanks!

I now use CS5.5 but I've noticed it on every version since CS4.
I JUST ran the latest update to 11.5.1.349
I'll let you know if it continues but for now I'm planning to learn a new software. Finally have some time to focus on this and if it works out I may say so long to Flash. I'll give CS6 a try but if it's not SIGNIFICANTLY improved (Brush tool comparable to ToonBoom, No losing data, Better Playback, Ability to export HTML5), it's just not worth it anymore. I've been using Flash since version 1 and since Adobe took it over, I hate to say that anything other than actionscript has gone WAY downhill. Many new features but they don't actually work well, or crash at runtime if used beyond a tutorial's level intensity. What's the point of all that functionality if it looks like garbage and can't perform on a professional level? Even if you do take the extra time to work slowly or limited to make it look nice - it loses the data! or now without HTML5 your venues of use are sliced in half? Pointless. I don't want to trash all my Flash experience, but I'm done defending an inferior product and waiting for it to catch up to a modern professional standard. I think my Flash days may be over very soon unfortunately. I feel like the're more interested in defending what they've created, than in making it work or even asking us what we want. I feel like a Girlfriend who's Man keeps promising to get steady work but hasn't after 10 years. Flash...we need to talk.

I have an issue with the tabs and windows disappearing....?

I have a constant problem with Firefox now. I notice that with Firefox 4 and 5 there has been a reoccurring problem with the tabs and windows closing on their own. If I have more than one window open, one of them will suddenly disappear and I wont see the tab at the bottom anymore until I click out of the one I am currently on. It is very annoying and only when I get out of Firefox completely will it sometimes reappear. Even more frightening is the fact that when I move the mouse downward to the bottom of the page the page shuts out as if I clicked out of it.
I am wondering if this is a security issue meaning some type of malware or virus that is manipulating my browser or is this a common issue that has some unknown cause? I would like to know what the cause is and how it can be fixed because it annoys me all the time. Please help!!

Printing Issues with HP D145 and multiple users from G5

Hi - I've a HP D145 All-In-One connected via USB to a G5 (as described below). The machine has multiple accounts on for different members of my family. The printer is directly connected to the G5 via USB connection but is shared with other Macs. Printing has become increasingly difficult, and we now have the following problems:
1. Printing will only work from the administrators account.
2. Printing periodically (daily, generally after a few hours of use) stops from the administrators account
Solutions tried:
a. Check set up for the non-administrators accounts....Looks OK for printing
b. When printing stops - I've tried repairing the permissions with the Disk Utility. This no longer works.
c. Run Printer Setup Repair (with option to repair all user accounts) - Works for the administrators account providing the computer and printer are restarted, otherwise no effect.
d. Reinstalling the software - No effect
It’s beginning to look like I need to replace this printer with one that works.
You can help me in two ways - how to solve the printer problems, or alternatively suggest a colour All-in-One printer that can work with multiple accounts and does not have the problems mentioned above.
Many thanks in advance,
Regards,
Melvyn

Below I've copied the fix HP proposed and some additional information that they have sent me.
1. The proposed fix that we could not make work:
Hello Melvyn,

Select the HP All-In-One Printer.
Click Add at the bottom-right corner of the screen.
Set this printer as the default.
You should now be able to print from all accounts.
Sincerely,
2. The reasons why it may not have worked:
We need to be sure that you are fully logging out of one account and
then back into the next. The fast user switching feature of the Mac OS
can create problems with our printer drivers. For this reason, fast user
switching is not supported by HP.
The other issue we may be running into would be the Mac OS itself. Over
the past few months the Mac OS has gone through several updates. When
the 10.4.4 version was released it created some issues with our existing
software. An updated version of our software has been developed which
works well with 10.4.4 and higher, but it is not available for this
printer.
It may be that as each new OS update is installed on your computers that
the issue becomes worse. If you are running the Mac OS 10.4.3 or lower
then the version 7.3.1 of our software should work fine. If it is 10.4.4
or higher there will be some issues as the new OS versions do not seem
to like the older drivers.
I would have to recommend retrying the full uninstall the Derek had
outlined. This time however, just install the downloaded 7.3.1 software
from our web site for the D145. Once it has been installed we need to
test it fully without adding the scanjet software. I am hoping that
without both version of our software installed it may work better.
This should resolve the issue. If you need further assistance, please
reply to this message and we will be happy to assist you further.
3. The repsonse to questions on switching and OS X 10.4.4
You are correct, since you are running the 10.4.4 I cannot guarantee
that the older software version will allow full functionality. It should
allow for printing and as long as you avoid the fast user switching,
when trying to print, it should keep working well.
I understand the convenience of fast user switching but you will have to
log completely out of one user, and then log properly into the next
before you can expect the printer to function.
I would still recommend trying the steps I had outlined as it really is
the only thing you can do that may work.

Issues with nested for loops - saving images from a camera

Hi all,
I've written a vi. to capture a specific number of images ('Image No') and save these images, outputted to a folder of my choice. Each image is identified sequentially. However, I wish to do a number of iterations ('Run') of this capture sequence, such that the filename of each image would be 'Filename (Run)_(Image No).png', e.g. run 5, image 10 would be 'Filename 5_10.png'. I have tried a nested for loop for this but I receive an error 'Asynchronous I/O operation in progress' (I've attached a printscreen).
Can anyone assist me in solving this problem? I preiously posted this in machine Vision but got no response (http://forums.ni.com/t5/Machine-Vision/Capturing-image-sequences-issues-with-nested-for-loops/m-p/19...). Please find attached my vi.
Kindest regards and thanks,

the problem is not the filenam, but the name of the folder (AHHHHH!). You try to create the same folder in the outer for loop over and over again.... (it is the error message above the '======', not below )

Dunning issue with payment block

Hi Experts,
I am currently having an issue with Dunning process.

My issue is that whenever I have a document which has a payment block associated to it, it is being dunned and I dont want this.
Could you please advise me on how to proceed ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi SDNer,
Thanks for the confirmation.
But the thing is that I can not put a Dunning Block to it.
The requirement is that when there is a payment block associated to a document, it should not be dunned.
Is there any configuration that needs to be done or any Enhancement ?
Thanks.

Issue with opening .PDF files after recalling from Symantec Enterprise Vault

Good Morning,
I am having issues with opening PDF files that have been recalled from Symantec Enterprise Vault and some of the files are anywhere from 3-4 years old. Some files open, while others return the error: Adobe Reader could not open filename.pdf because it is not a supported file type or might have been damaged. It is inconsistent as to which files it occurs with. I am not ready to believe that I have that many corrupt files out there. I am opening them on a Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 x64 desktop. Adobe 10.1.7. I have already configured the registry setting for bValidateBytesBeforeHeader that I found in another article to no avail.
The files are on a network share, but I also tried copying them to my local desktop and still received the error.
I have seen other posts regarding this error, but do not see a definitive solution and am hoping that in recent days someone has come up with a solution.
Thank You
Brian Dougherty

Not supported file type can (but not always) mean the PDF was created with an old enough version of Acrobat, that it isn't comaptible with reader X or XI.
Might have been damaged is pretty cut and dried in its meaning and interpretation.
There's a known issue with Mac OS and Safari Browser "breaking" PDFs as they download, but it's not so common for Windows. Since these are files you already had, it would be even less applicable.
You can try downloading an older version of Reader to check if it's a compatibility issue, but you'd have to uninstall the latest to do it and it'd be a lot of bother if they still don't open. It would also mean they are "broken" and cannot be repaired, that I know of.

Issues with quality of PDF being made from AutoCAD

I am having quality issues with the PDF after it is made from AutoCAD. First, I'm creating a few spreadsheets using Excel. I copy/paste them into AutoCAD and when I go to print the sheet to a PDF and view the preview before i submit it, the preview is great. Once i make the PDF one of the spreadsheets' quality is great. The others are showing extremely blurry and sometimes pixelated. Im not sure what would be going on. The spreadsheets are created the same way. I'd attach a screenshot of the issue, but the wonderful "attach image" button is not working. As a matter of fact, none of the tools for this post works.

More than likely it is in the PDF creation end of things. If that's the case, you'll want to go to the forum for the software you are using to create the PDF.
Before that, one thing you CAN check in Reader is Preferences>Page Display>REndering and be sure that smoothing preferences are checked.

Issue with encoding while reading email msg from pst

I have a pst and I have issue with few messages which has russian characters in it, when i open the email it shows garbage values. But when i go to OtherActions->Encoding from the email menu option I see that the Encoding was set to "Cyrillic (KOI8-R)",
I have to change the Encoding to Unicode (UTF-8) inroder to read the email correctly. Also observed that this encoding is different for different emails from same pst.
Can I change the encoding to Unicode (UTF-8) for reading the email message so that i dont get the issue for any email (I know there are options to set default encoding for sending emails but could not file an option for reading the email in a specific
encoding.)

Hi Srikanth,

Issues with BBC website video + Audio

I've been having issues using the video and audio content on the BBC website for a few months, it's started to get really annoying so I thought I would ask and see if anyone has a solution.
First I have uninstalled and reinstalled Flash, repaired permissions, updated Safari, Firefox, Chrome, repaired permissions, deleted prefs, basically done everything from a system point that I can think of.
I'm still having a problem of the video and audio locking up the browser and taking AGES to actually display. I've done a video for it to show what I mean:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzFw3qqKADc&hd=1
The first part where I view the video story is actually not 'too' bad, still on the slow side but that's rare, keep watching and you'll see how slow it is!
It's very annoying because not only does it take ages to load, the browser just totally locks up, so there's not much chance of doing anything else, it's just slows right down. This actually happens in any browser I try. (I think in the video it was Firefox but that's just because of what I was using at the time, same goes for Safari)
I created a new user account and it's actually fine in that so there must be a conflict somewhere in my system, I'm just not sure how to resolve it.
Any solutions or thoughts?

It seems to take too long to buffer. How much free space do you have on your hard drive?
Do you have any third-party add-ons or enhancers installed?
As for general browser slowness:
If Safari is getting very slow:
Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security:
If you are using a single computer: Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2296
If your computer is part of a network: please refer to this page: http://www.opendns.com/start/bestpractices/#yournetwork and follow the advice given.
You could also try these codes as well: 4.2.2.1 & 4.2.2.2
If you use a Router, make sure it has the latest firmware installed.
One reason for a slowness in page loading may be the 'DNS Pre-fetching' feature of Safari 5.x
This is described here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3408?viewlocale=en_US
If Safari seems to hang for ages:
If you have a lot of tabs open and/or a lot of pages running Flash, Safari can sometimes 'hang', requiring a restart of Safari. This can often be inconvenient, and as it is rarely Safari itself that is hanging but merely one of its plug-ins, usually Flash, there is a way using Terminal to restart the plug-ins (without restarting Safari and losing your tabs) by quitting the WebPluginHost process:
Open the Terminal from the Utilities folder in /Applications and type
killall -9 WebKitPluginHost
Note that this command kills all Safari plug-ins, not just Flash. All plug-ins should start back up when you reload the page.
Then go back to Safari and refresh any pages that were using the Flash plug-in. This also fixes the Beachball of Death. Try this whenever Safari gets slow or freezes. The latest versions of Flash 10.1 appear to have improved the situation somewhat, but haven't completed eliminated it.
