Logic Timecode Sync Issues - Subframes

Trying to use Logic Pro 9 for playback doing a music video. I have already created tracks needed .. 1 channel mix of the soundtrack which is striped with 24fps timecode on channel 2. Logic Pro has been set to 24fps in the options, and is reading the timecode correctly. I have a smart slate hooked up to the same timecode source as well.
The problem is, the smart slate obviously does not display "subframes" like Logic Pro's transport does. When I stop playback, randomly the timecode on Logic Pro will read out (for example) 01:00:25:14:57, while my slate will read 01:00:25:15. It seems like the subframe section of the meter is not correct or really doesn't need to be there, and is causing problems. Is there a way to fix this or turn subframes off or even set them correctly?

Look at preferences/display.

  • Logic Express Sync Issue

    MAC G5 2.0 dual 1mb RAM Tiger – Digi 002 Pro Tools 6.9.2
    Last night I downloaded and installed the Logic 7 Express demo from
    the apple site. After opening and setting up logic I opened a current
    Garage Band file. It plays very slow and sluggish. Similar to when you
    have the sample rate set incorrectly. I keep getting sample rate
    errors but can't seem to get it corrected. I tweaked most of the
    options under the synchronization menu to no avail.
    Pro Tools still runs fine, but Garage Band now does the same thing.
    What did I hose? If I use the internal sound drivers from apple all is
    well. I feel the issue is tied to Digi's core audio drivers.
    Any suggestions?
    T.

    Call apple support. You'll have to provide a proof of purchase and they probably will give you a new serial no.

  • Internal Logic sync issue

    hello Community:
    I'm stuck in writing limbo now , due to a bizarre and never before seen  problem in Logic 9.1.4
    a Sync or internal timing issue.....for no reason of my doing, this is what occurs:
    1. Using my same Autoload setup used for years, and am simply sequencing MIDI and audio
    2. When i record AUDIO at bar 1, then try to LOCK it and SAVE (command-S) the file region vanishes
    and ends up placed at the END of my entire autoload sequence- bar 1749 ..... what the $%^ ?
    3. the transport position indicator for the region reads "????"
    4. MIDI does the same and opening the MIDI region shows that all note informaiton is placed at the same bar (in this case bar 7)
    5. if i UNDO this operation, then regions reappear correctly at Bar 1, but i cannot LOCK any regions without this sync issue
    There are NO tempo changes programmed in thi sequence- eveything including signature are same.
    I have done nothing to change any setting in preferences, project setting or otherwise
    this has never happened in the 14 years I've been working on Logic.....dunno
    Your URGENT help appreciated!!!

    Hey again Pan:
    am still having this annoying issue of vanishing Audio regions in my Logic sequence
    checked on your above Prefs setting and all is fine
    When i record an audio track and try to SAVE and LOCK it - it jumps to the end of my entire bar sequence
    if i UNDO this operaiton it returns, but i can only save the sequence with all unlocked regions...
    not useful as I do primarlly scoring use for picture.
    any other suggestions
    I'm running Presonus Firestudio interfaces outboard, but not sure if this wouls screw things up
    ANy help again great

  • TIMECODES are important for audio and video sync issues

    Hello, just wanted to pass on what I learned so that others can avoid the trouble that I've had to go through. Perhaps this may help someone who is stuck on the launch pad. :)
    BOTTOM LINE: Info for the beginner. Audio and video not in sync in Premiere Pro CS3 V3.2.0
    PROBLEM: Capture works great it seems. When I go to the folder that contains the captured file and view in Windows Media Player audio and video are in sync. BUT when viewing the video asset in the source and program monitors, the audio and video are not in sync.
    SOLUTION:
    Before capturing a tape make certain the following is checked:
    (1) Edit->Preferences->Capture->Use device control timecode
    (2) Edit->Preferences->Device Control->Options->Timecode Format
    (3) Project->Project Settings->General->Video->Display format
    As for the devices timecode choose something other than Auto Detect. Then match the project timecode with what was chosen during capture. The projects display format could of course be set to frames.
    I searched everywhere for audio and video sync issues in google, adobe forums, F1 help, and hv20.com and everyone was talking about:
    (1) Presets: 1080p30 vs. 1080i30 (60i).
    (2) brakes in the tape where timecode for the audio and video get misaligned during capture.
    But choosing the correct hardware settings and timecodes to solve audio and video sync issues never popped up.
    MY HARDWARE: Canon HV30, HDV

    >Audio and video not in sync in Premiere Pro CS3 V3.2.0
    Must be an HDV only issue because my synch is always perfect.

  • Logic Pro X and Reason 7 Rewire Sync Issues

    Hello,
    I'm running logic pro X (V10.07) and Reason V7.01 (in rewire slave mode).
    My drum tracks come from reason, and I've recorded bass and guitar in logic.
    My issue: When I play back the track FROM LOGIC, the drums are out of sync with the music. It's in the milliseconds but definitely noticeable and makes everythign sound...off.
    Oddly, when I play back the track from Reason (I start it using the Reason transport, rather than Logic Pro X), the track sounds fine.
    I've attached a screenshot of my Logic Pro X preferences. Not sure what to do here -- when I bounce the track down, it's the same as if I start it from the logic transport (i.e. the music and beats are out of sync).

    Resolved. Turns out my version of Reason needed an update.

  • Multiclip sync issues - resolved???

    Searching through the threads here I've seen a few different posts regarding the loss of sync in multiclips when moving media files around. Unfortunately all of the threads are locked and can't be posted to. None of them have been answered!
    I've just run into a similar situation and am trying to find out if the recent update to FCP 6.0.3 has fixed this. My problem, which is 100% repeatable is as follows:
    Create a new project/sequence.
    Capture 2 camera tapes from the event (1 w/ timecode, 1 via a analog to digital converter, ie no timecode)
    Review each captured clip and insert markers where I want to use scenes.
    Create subclips from each marker I want to use
    Mark In Points in each subclip to use as sync points (clapper board in my case)
    Select the corresponding subclips from Camera A and Camera B and Make Multiclip using In Points for sync.
    Place multiclip in timeline.
    Play sequence and use keypad to insert camera changes.
    Save file.
    At this point everything is fine. My sequence plays back with all of my angle changes.
    Now if I quit FCP and use the finder to move one of the captured files to another hard drive everything goes to sh*t. When I reopen the project, FCP will ask me to reconnect to the offline media file. No problem; use the dialog box to locate the moved file and reconnect. Now when I go back to the sequence and play it, the 2 camera angles are completely out of sync with each other. I'm not talking a few frames, its usually several seconds at least.
    I've done this several times, and it always happens. FCP absolutely cannot maintain multiclip sync info when a media file is moved.
    Just as a point of further frustration, I know someone is going to respond that I should use the Media Manager to move media files around. This is also broken. That's how I originally discovered the problem. I went to create an archive of the whole project. My destination was an external hard drive. When opening up the newly created project, I saw the same out of sync multiclips. My guess is because the media files were now on a different hard drive.
    Also, try to roundtrip a multiclip sequence to SoundTrackPro - totally hosed when it comes back into FCP. Same out of sync issues.
    So something is definately problematic here. I'm still on 6.0.1 and can't risk updating while this project is in process. But I would like to know if this problem still exists in 6.0.3.
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Chris-- I am having the same problem-My media went offline-- tried reconnecting and get this message stating that the attributes of the original clip have changed; mark in and out-- then when i reopen my sequence certain clips that are multicam have suddenly got different ins and outs-- have no idea what is causing this but here is some advice someone posted on another forum:
    I do almost nothing but multi-cam editing, and have for the last 8 to 10 years, but the overwhelming majority of my work is with matched time-code cameras. I have worked with in-points on FCP and have not had these problems, but I don't do it that often, so I don't feel comfortable telling someone that he's not having the problems he is having.
    Jasper - when making multi-clips with in-points are you using master clips or sub-clips? Also are you sure you haven't seperately used the same source clip and thereby changed the in-point reference? These would be the first 2 things i would test when trying to figure out why the multi-clips were not functioning. Also I will say the a sure way to get corrupted multi-clips is to use a clip that has time-code breaks within it - something that shouldn't happen, but that actually happens all to easily in FCP.
    Finally I can offer this work around, change the AUX time-code on the clips and sync with them. FCP makes it incredibly easy to change the time-code on a captured clip, and that includes 2 optional AUX time code tracks that are available for each clip. Find a sync point on each of the clips that you want to use in a multi-clip, go to Modify / Time Code - check the AUX TC 1 box and enter a common time code in the window - I would recommend that this time code be a copy of the actual time code of your most important clip, but anything will do - and then when making a multi-clip choose to Sync with Aux 1. (just don't uncheck the box containing your source time-code or you'll loose it - leave both boxes checked) - this extra step does not take long and should alleviate your problems.
    hope this helps?!@

  • A/V out-of-sync issue for FCP captures

    I've read many of the out-of-sync posts on this board, most of which seem to indicate that the problem is usually caused by either dropped frames, bad timecode breaks, edit errors, or disunity between FCP capture and sequence settings, compared with audio sample rates for the underlying files.
    My files, shot on my Panasonic AG-DVX100A in 24pa mode, result in perfect (except for the anamorphic screen size - see my next post!) Quicktime movie files, in perfect sync. It's only when I create clips from those files in FCP that the video and audio go out of sync. And the out-of-sync drifts; that is, the further you go in the clip, the more out of sync the sound and the video gets.
    My camera is always set to the 24pa mode, which, by default, records only in the non-drop-frame mode, regardless of any other camera settings I may have selected. The audio settings in my camera (and in the resulting underlying QT files that are created when I capture in FCP) are 16-bit integer and 48.000 khz, as they are in both my FCP sequence presets and capture presets, so I don't think it's an issue of conflicting sample rates. My device control presets are for Firewire NTSC NDF (non dropped frame).
    Given the above information, does anyone have any idea what else I might be doing wrong? I've already shot hundreds of hours of footage last year that worked fine. I don't know what I changed to cause this out-of-sync problem now, but I'm going bald tearing out my hair trying to figure it out.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    The dvd recorder was in the loop when the sync issue showed up.  the dvd was in sync but the live stream, next in line, was out of sync.  I have returned to using the older machine with xp.  (the lap top is running vista)  The older machine is a desktop which requires more space on the production table and time to set up.

  • Avid OMF or AAF sync issues

    Hi,
    I'm attempting to export some video sequences from Avid Express in order to perform some 'audio post' on them in Logic, however I'm having real problems getting the stuff into Logic in sync with the pictures. It's a bit tricky to convey what's happening so if you can bear with me I'd be grateful.
    However I choose to export from Avid, whether I use OMF or AAF, it adds 60 frame handles which is fine in itself, but it places the audio region on the timeline at the correct place but it places the first frame of the handle at the beginning of the region rather than excluding 60 frames before the region begins. Consequently when I import a QT movie the audio is out of sync.
    I suspect that all the edits and crossfades are in the right place on the timeline but of course this places them in the wrong place for the audio. It's as if I need to shift the audio within the region but without moving the region itself. I can move the first region and put it in time with the QT movie but of course I then need to re do all the edits in their correct places and move them, a fairly tedious process! But I hope I'm missing something?
    If there's anybody with experience of this sort of process who can advise on the best method of getting stuff from Avid into Logic I'd be grateful.
    Thanks in anticipation,

    i have just recently been through the ringer with this myself. franly getting audio rom avid to logic is a feat in itself so well done so far.
    you should definitely use AAF, and of course make sure everything is the same sample rate - which you've probably done to get things this far. you should generally consolidate media on the avid before making your AAF or OMF to avoid the region length issue. if you have a consistent amount of audio before each region, then the solution would simply be to move all audio by that amount. the region anchor is not being set because logic and avid don't communicate the same way.
    so i think the only option is to consolidate your audio in the avid before exporting.
    it is a matter of immense frustration to me that the importing of standard formats is so flakey with logic. exports are great and i think thats the situation that was expected.
    please give plenty of detail about your issue here and what work arounds you have come across. any more detail about this could be of use to any on the dev team who might nose around.

  • FCP6 - Audio Sync Issues on Existing Clips

    I recently installed the FCS2 upgrade on my MacPro desktop. I opened an existing project (with mostly 24p timelines) and there are some clips where the audio/video are not in sync. When I play the clips back from the Finder in QuickTime, they play perfectly fine. When I try playing them back in FCP6, in the Viewer window or in the timeline, the audio is not in sync.
    A more accurate description would be: it's actually a VIDEO sync issue. When I get to a clip in my timeline that has this problem, the audio is accurate, but the video plays back a few seconds behind. Another observation: When I play the clip in the viewer from the beginning, the audio is in sync, by the middle it's off a little, then by the end it is VERY out of sync.
    My preliminary diagnosis is that FCP6 is not interpreting the 24p files correctly. I've tried disconnecting and reconnecting the media hoping it would help but it didn't.
    Sorry for the long-winded explanation. Is anyone else having these issues? Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Update: In FCP6 (it may have been in FCP5 but I never saw it or used it) there is an option under Tools->Analyze Movie->Clip. When I run this against a clip that works ok, everything comes back normal. When I run this against a clip that is not working properly, it says:
    Filename: Netherbeast_6-15
    Duration: 00:02:20:13
    Average Data Rate: 2998k/sec
    Audio Grouping: Multiple
    Video Track 1 (386.2 MB)
    Duration: 00:02:20:13
    Frame Size: 720 x 480

    Codec: DV/DVCPRO - NTSC at Most Quality
    Frame Rate: 23.98 fps
    Average Data Rate: 2810k/sec (117k/frame)
    This track appears to have dropped frames.
    This track contains:
    3372 frames of a duration of 1.2500 frames
    1 frame of a duration of 1.0000 frame
    Audio Track 1 (Stereo, 25.8 MB)
    Duration: 00:02:20:13
    Average Data Rate: 188k/sec

    Sampling Rate: 48.000 khz
    Timecode Track Source TC
    Timecode: 00:27:30:14
    Reel: 006
    Since these clips have not changed since my FS2 upgrade, then there is a difference between FCP5 and FCP6 handle these "dropped" frames. Whereas FCP5 was more forgiving and kept the audio in sync, and FCP6 does NOT.
    Does anyone have ANY idea how I can get this resolved?

  • FCP audio sync issue, attempts at fix result in dodgy files - help!

    Hello,
    I have some Sony EX1 footage here in which 20 out of 500 QT files FCP will play the audio out of sync by either 14 or 19 frames (picture lags) - when shooting no changes were made to settings which were as follows:
    1080/25P HQ 16-bit 48Khz
    weird thing #1: only FCP will exhibit the out of sync problem, QT or even quickview in the OS X finder will play them back fine ...
    weird thing #2: once I export the footage without re-syncing it it will then play fine again in QT/finder and will sync fine in FCP - yay! - no... it will beach ball and/or lag/crash FCP/QT/finder once I attempt any sort of movement/scrubbing in any of the timelines
    attempting to work with the original un-synced footage and unlinking the audio (and correctly syncing it) as a workaround has failed as whenever I put on any video effect/transition or whatever the effected part will sync correctly and my smarty pants re-sync therefore makes it out of sync again ! arrrrgh!
    Basically, anytime I effect or export it the sync issue goes away, but I am left with crashy/corrupted files ...
    Any suggestions ?

    the audio clip is the same length as the video clip. it is not a matter of moving the audio over to sync it up. the audio falls behind by the time it gets to the end. it is just fine at the start of the video and out of sync at the end. If I would sync up the end then the front will be out of sync. All I did is capture the footage from my deck to FCP and then placed it in the time line.
    Russell
    This is not correct but it's easy to arrive at that conclusion. The two clips aree not the same length by your definition: *the audio falls behind by the time it gets to the end*
    Mark the place where the audio ends, mark the place where the video ends. They are different and that difference is a simple matter of subtracting one timecode location form the other. This means the audio was shot at a different sampling rate than that with which it was captured. I do not know anything about the DSR400 camera or your deck, my Sonys are different, but you should be able to ascertain the sampling rate of the audio by checking the data display. If, indeed, it's 48k, you have sent the audio to a separate folder than the video and your disk cannot keep up. But that sync difference is not absolute so it's going to be different each time you play it back.

  • More Aperture/iPad syncing issues

    Each time I create a new project or album in Aperture, I have trouble getting the images to the iPad when I sync. I sometimes need to sync several times until the images are recognized and imported to iPad. I do have the albums designated manually, rather than all, which means I have to sync and then sync again after I check the checkbox for the new album. I understand that, but sometimes I have to go back into Aperture to make sure the previews are updated. If I choose to update the previews for a project, Aperture will usually tell me that they're already up to date, but often they will not show up on the iPad, even after I check the appropriate box for the album in iTunes. Sometimes I get good results if I delete the previews and regenerate them in Aperture.
    The second problem is the sort order. Even if I have "sort by filename" selected in Aperture, they do not show up in this order on the iPad--despite what the support article says about this. They appear to only show up in Date order. I've tried repeatedly resetting the sort order, but it does not change on the iPad. Sometimes I have to delete the album from the iPad, (uncheck the album in iTunes and sync again), then recheck it and sync yet another time. This does not always work, however.
    It is very frustrating. The interface between Aperture and the iPad is very wonky. I often have to sync repeatedly, just to get the photos on the iPad and even then they're usually in the wrong order.
    Aperture appears to have two types of previews: "previews" and "sharing previews," but "sharing previews" don't seem to appear in the documentation. I've noticed that, even when Aperture says the previews are up to date, when I exit the program, it will sometimes (but, maddeningly, not always), give the message, "updating sharing previews" before quitting. I cannot figure out how to force this, however. Sometimes opening and closing Aperture several times will cause it to do this, but I can't be sure.
    iTunes seems to have its own process in which it "optimizes" images for importing to the iPad. Like Aperture's mysterious "sharing previews," "optimizing" does not show up in the iTunes documentation or help files.
    This process either needs to be improved, or at least documented so users can understand how to avoid these problems.

    1. Some people have reported slow syncing with anything but the iPad's own USB cable (e.g. using a US cable from an iPhone/iPod). Try different cables
    2. More work - disable iTunes syncing completely, then re-enable a bit at a time, e.g. one movie at a time, one playlist at a time, one photo album at a time. There are periodic reports of syncing issues caused by a bit of media that's been corrupted, and this (tedious) approach allows you to identify where the problem might be.
    3. If that fails, do a clean restore back to factory settings, then progressively re-enable syncing as above.
    Hope this helps

  • Sync issues after iOS 8 update

    Hi,
    I have an iPhone 5S, 64 GB. After updating to iOS8 I got sync issues. "Waiting for changes to be applied" never disappeared. Also the storage usage in iTunes 11.4 is wrong. iTunes said I had 6GB free, when I had in fact 20GB. I restored the phone back to firmware, restored the backup. All was fine until I made setting changes in iTunes what I want to sync. The same issue in iTunes is back again. I already deleted my voice memos as someone recommended in another threat but that didn't help.
    Any ideas how I can solve the problem, would be appreciated. Thank you!

  • Disappearing Contacts, Mobile Me Sync Issues, Calendar crash-Answers??

    I'll try to keep this post brief but hopefully it will help provide some possible answers for frustrated users experiencing the random complete wipe out of all contacts and calendar data when syncing with mobile me using either push or fetch. After several weeks of experiencing these random sync issues and spending several hours over several days between tech support calls with iPhone then Mobile Me support and then finally a genius bar appointment where the genius said he didn't have a clue and simply offered to replace my phone.
    The next morning, SAME PROBLEMS... and through it all NO ONE could tell me why my sync was so randomly unreliable. Every other day for no apparent reason, my phone would suddenly lose all contacts and/or calendar data. (A few thousand contacts and two years of calendar data). It was both frustrating and strange—even stranger that Apple techs had no clue why and seemed to think no one else was having this issue.
    I tried everything - complete restores, resets, deleting and re-adding the mobileme account, etc., etc., etc. One tech support person finally said, "good luck..." The others kept handing me off the higher levels of support... until finally they just said "we don't know why this is happening." I was waiting for someone to just say, "Look, we have issues with mobile me, so hang in there and eventually it will work." I can be patient and I still think the iphone is the greatest invention in recent years. But everybody I talked with at Apple seemed to think this should be working flawlessly.
    I also started having a crash on the calendar anytime I tried to see the list view for "all calendars." This was frustrating because that's the best feature of the calendar app!
    I was prepared to just return to syncing with my computer and wait for the software to improve between the phone and mobile me. Finally, last night I tried a few things that seem to be working... and for the first full day, mobile me is actually useful to me today. (my fingers are crossed!)
    Here's what I did.
    1. I minimized the number of calendars I was syncing - I have no idea if this affected the sync, but I was syncing eight calendars, now I'm down to four. (You can easily export a calendar and import those events back into a different calendar.)
    2. I did a complete restore of the phone (not from a back up) and the VERY FIRST THING, I added mobile me and synced only the calendar (set to push.) This cleared up the random calendar crash in list view and also mobile me was pushing data rather reliably. After a few moments my entire calendar was on the phone and worked perfectly. New events were transferred quickly back and forth.
    3. I then chose to sync my contacts through the computer rather than over the air. I fear that the contact sync was somehow messing up the whole communication process between the phone and the cloud. Someone suggested that the number of "groups" in contacts might have an impact on the sync issues as well. I didn't need my contacts to sync with the urgency of "push" so this works for me. Plus I have a lot of contacts and it's just faster over the cable.
    4. I then GREATLY reduced the number of apps on my phone. I originally had about 27 and I only reinstalled 9 of them. I did this ONE AT A TIME - starting with the most necessary and useful... and after each install, I checked the functionality of the calendar and mobile me. No problems. Perhaps I was having an app conflict?
    5. Then I reinstalled the rest of my content - music, podcasts, photos. Still no problems.
    ONE of these steps actually worked, and I'm not sure which one. My guess is that one or more of my apps was conflicting in some way. OR possibly something with the contact sync... but for the last 24 hours the mobile me calendar sync using push has been consistently reliable and useful. (for the record, mobile me email has always worked perfectly for me.)
    No one with tech support ever suggested to me that I could be having an application conflict or any other problems with calendars or contact groups, etc. I've spent many hours on this the past few weeks... and for the first time, my iphone seems to be working with mobile me correctly.
    In reading many of these posts, it seems a lot of others are having similar problems... so hopefully these suggestions might be helpful. If you have any thoughts as to which of these solutions was the correct one, I would be interested in hearing your opinion.
    Thanks!

    Are your Address Book contacts and iCal calendars/calendar events on your Mac synced with your MobileMe online address book and calendar?
    When you say this data is not synced with your iPhone, none of your MobileMe online data is transferred to your iPhone, or after the initial transfer of this data to your iPhone when you first turned contacts and calendars for over the air syncing with your MobileMe account on your iPhone, the data is not kept synchronized with the MobileMe "cloud"?

  • How do I get rid of lip-sync issues with iTunes 10.2.2.12?

    Hi Everyone.
    Firstly, a very Happy Easter!
    I'm having lip-sync issues with iTunes playback on my PC. The video is largely smooth with the occaisional choppiness when the CPU is made to work hard. (Playback on my iPod Touch is fine).
    The system stats for my PC are at the bottom of the post.
    The sound is produced through a Creative Live Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 card.
    Video is through a NVIDIA Geforce 6200 with 512Mb of RAM. (All video and audio drivers are up to date).
    The physical set-up is that I have iTunes installed on the C drive and my media installed on an external USB hard-drive.This isn't just a problem with 10.2.2.12 - it's been there for the last few updates.
    I suppose my main questions are:
    Should iTunes and my media be on the same drive? (Which would mean the external drive as I'm short on space on the C drive).
    Is there some combination of settings in QuickTime that will solve this? (I've tried different combinations, but it doesn't really help).
    Is the spec (below) of my PC causing any issues.
    Here's an Easter Egg for anyone able to help!!
    All the best

    Select *List view* instead of *Album list view*. These are in the View menu or the boxes next to Search, on the right top of iTunes.
    and the column next to it with a number in it that I have absolutely no idea what it's for. I want those two columns OUT.
    In List view, you can turn off every column (in menu View > View options) except track name.

  • Having sync issues with Outlook 2011 since upgrading to Mavericks

    Hi All,
    My work Macbook Pro 13" is having issues syncing my inbox and sent mail automatically. It's a hit or miss if I recieve emails in my inbox in a timely mannor with out pressing the Send/Recive button (even when i press it takes minutes to update). My Sent Items can show up an hour later  even if I hit the Send/Recieve button.
    All my mail is there and shows up/syncs on my iPhone quickly. I upgraded to Mavericks right when it came out and have only been having these sync issues for the last week or so.
    I've cleared my mail cache and that didn't work. My calandar reminders and contacts don't seem to have any issues and no other apps have been preforming slow or strangely.... just my VERY important work email. My tech guys are stumped and I wanted to try you guys before they do a major rehaul of my system 
    Thanks!

    A new Outlook Identity will most likely solve your issues. If you have any data under "On My Computer" folders, see this link:
    How to move your data to a new Identity
    BTW, how much free space on your drive? Use Disk Utility in Applications/Utilities to find this info. You need a minimum of 10% free but 15-20% is recommended.
    Outlook gets very sluggish when you are low on disk space. If you have a bunch of older Identities from previous rebuilds you can delete these to help free up space.
