Mac bleeps or beeps when transfering AVCHD media from camcorder

Hi all.
I am using the log and transfer process in FCP 6.0.4 to convert AVCHD files from a Canon HF100 camcorder into ProRes 422 clips. The process is working fine but the internal Mac speaker is emitting long bleeps/beeps every 2 seconds while it is doing it. If I pause the conversion the bleeps/beeps stop. Start it up again and the bleeps/beeps return.
The audio and video is playing perfectly on the transferred clips
Anyone with any ideas what the problem could be?
Many thanks

Finally I have discovered a way to get round the bleeps. Copy the entire folder structure from the AVCHD card onto the Mac hard drive into a new folder.
In log and transfer navigate to the "Private" folder, just one step in from the host folder. Click on open and the file structure will be recognised and the clips shown in the list.
Add the selected clips (or just part of a clip) to the Queue and they will automatically start to transfer, with no annoying bleeping.
Therefore I believe the bleeping is a warning against removing either the camera or external media during transfer, and the system is not concerned when it comes from an internal drive.
I hope my experience will help others.

Quality Loss when transferring AVCHD File from Flash Card to iMovie

I have a Canon HF100 and the HD video looks great when I play directly from the video camera to the television. However, there is a loss in quality when I import to iMovie 08 and play the HD video on quicktime. How can I prevent the loss in quality so that playback on my iMac equals playback directly from the video camera to the TV?

First, be sure to import at "Full" 1920x1080.
Second, when you "Share", pick "Share"/Using Quicktime. This will let you customize settings. In Quicktime Settings, pick AIC with an unlimited data rate. For a smaller file, you can also try h.264 with an very high data rate.

When transfering iTunes music from an older computer to a newer computer, do the versions need to be the same on both?

When transfering itunes music from my older computer to a newer computer, do both itunes need to be the same version?

No... the target machine needs to be running the same version or better.
These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
If you have an iOS device that syncs with contact & calendar data on your computer you should migrate this information too. If that isn't possible create a dummy entry of each type in your new profile and iTunes should offer to merge the existing data from the device into the computer, otherwise the danger is that it will wipe the information from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

When transferring HR data from ECC to CRM via change pointers

When transferring HR data from ECC to CRM via change pointers ,certain data is getting earsed in CRM
paricularly the last name and first name of BUT000
Do you have any idea why this could be happening
Thanks in advance

Hi Kittu,
Change pointers. Change pointers are R/3 objects that mark changes to SAP master data. Change pointers are managed by mechanisms in a Shared Master Data (SMD) tool and are based on Change Document (CD) objects. CD objects record the changes occurring to master data at a field level. These changes are stored in tables CDHDR (header table) and CDPOS (detail table). ALE configuration provides a link between CD objects and change pointers. Internal mechanisms update tables BDCP and BDCPS, which host the change pointers. While CD objects are application-data-specific, the processing status of change pointers is message-type-specific. Also, the ALE change pointers are activated first at a general level and then at the message-type level.
use this links kittu.

I am having trouble transfering any media from my windows 7 pc to my iPad 3. Currently using the latest version of iTunes n my windows pc but still the media won't appear on my devicewhen being transferred..

I am having trouble transfering any media from my windows 7 pc to my iPad 3. Currently using the latest version of iTunes n my windows pc but still the media won't appear on my devicewhen being transferred..

The window would open and I would get the hourglass cursor suggesting something was happening, but the Apple home page (default from the install) would not load, nor would any other page I tried (google, yahoo, cnn).
Even though it's about a different application, I'd try the following document with that:
iTunes 10.5 for Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(Safari uses the same webkit engine to render web pages as iTunes uses to render the Store pages. So an issue that can cause the iTunes Store to blank can also cause a Safari for Windows application on the same PC to produce blank pages.)

I use the Strava website frequently but it requires me to restart in 32bit mode when transferring ride info from my Garmin 305. Any way around this?

As I stated in the question... I use Strava.com website quite a bit, but when transferring ride info from my Garmin 305 it requires me to restart Firefox in 32bit mode. Is there any way around this? It can be frustrating to be working in one window and have to restart the whole browser when uploading ride data.
Thanks for the help,

are your brush libraries stored in Adobe Illustrator CXX\Presets\en_US\Brushes?
is 'Persistent' checked in the drop down menu for each brush library when you have it open?

There's no music or beep when transfering to an agent from UCCX 8.X script.

This is not an issue on CUCM phones, depending on configuration I can have MOH or the BEEP for hold. I can have the CTI ports set for either but neither works, it's dead air when transferring to the agent. Any help would be appreciated.
thanks

Did you configure an MOH source for Network hold in the ports? How about an MRGL?
Is your source uni or multicast?
Does the same MOH source work if you put it on a phone?

AE CS4 Crashes when I drag media from the project panel to the timeline

Hello,
I have a problem dragging media from the project pannel to the timeline. Several times a day AE will crash when I do this. Currently I'm using the latest MAC Pro with 11 gig of Ram and Duel 27 inch monitors. Everything worked fine in CS3, but when I upgraded to CS4 I started having this issue. I have AE spread over both monitors. Could that be a problem? Are there any know issue with dragging? Any ideas?
Thanks

Magiebabel:
Since there are millions of context-specific reasons why this could happen -and also considering it's not happening to the majority of users out there-, it would be really helpful if you could fill out the Adobe Crash Reporter dialog that pops up when AE crashes (it just asks for what you were doing when the app crashed, and your e-mail info). When you send that, it includes a report about the crash that can be very useful to help the engineers figure out why it crashed.
Here's a blog post on what kind of data is sent through the Crash Reporter and why is it so important that you fill it and send it, if at all possible.

When I add media from my dLink surveillance camera, the avi files always land in audio instead of the video area. Why, and how can I get them to land as visual?

I am trying to edit some of the surveillance videos taken from our dLink camera of the dogs playing when we are not home, but when I import the .avi files, it always just goes to the audio portion (of Premiere Elements 11) and nothing shows up as video. What am I doing wrong? Please know, I am completely new at this program, since I bought it for the purpose of playing with my dLink home camera videos and haven't been able to do a single thing with them as of yet due to how they are importing. I did "get media" from my Bloggie camera to see if that worked, and it did come across as a video and not just audio, so I am not sure why the other isn't working.

ATR, just to make sure you understand me, all my video clips in my folders appear as the first frame of the video clip when I view my folders as (small, medium, large)icons instead of lists, when saved as .avi files but when saved as .mp4 files, those icons display as a graphic icon of filmstrip with a musical note on it. I do have various other methods to open with (quick time, windows media, winamp or real player) but prefer real player because I like it's quick and easy trimmer that comes along with it, since so many of my videos are just pet antics where you need to clip off the boring beginning and ends of the video.
I did go on a few of the icons and right clicked, Open With, and tried quick time and also Windows Media and it did nothing as far as how the file was saved for display, and they opened the same no matter which player I used...the actual video opens and plays right at it's first frame... but it's the way it is visually displayed in STORAGE that bugs me because it isn't immediately apparent to me what it is a video of (weddings, outside the house, pet antics)... it makes me have to actually title things and read titles where before I let it just be dates because I had the visual of that first frame as a reference. Obviously, this is a problem for unedited videos only, as anything I actually work with, I do give a title along with the date of the video.
I also just realized this seems to be the way ALL videos that are wrapped in .mp4 are displayed, as my bloggie camera's videos appear the same way. Now I know why! My other videos display as .avi's so I see the frame. Puzzle solved. Guess I'll just have to learn to live with it, as it seems to be how things display with the various formats.
Now I need to watch some tutorials to learn how this Premiere program works! It's all new to me, since this is the first time I've been able load any of my videos onto it. I haven't even been able to figure out how to trim on it yet!

Songs deleting when Transferring purchased songs from iPhone to computer!

When I transfer purchases from my iPhone to my laptop the process does not always seem to work. On a few occasions, it appears to have completed. But when I check iTunes on my computer the purchases are not there and try are also deleted from my iPhone! So I'm left with nothing. Does anyone know a way to restore purchased content to your iPhone?
Thanks for your help!

Update iTunes on your computer.
On the iPhone, open up the iTunes app. See Purchased at the bottom. Find your movies and you should be able to redownload for free.
On the computer, get into the iTunes Store, in the top right column, it says Purchasd. Again, you should be able to download them.

Beep while transferring to agent from icd script UCCX 8

Callers from ICD script hears a beep instead of a ringback while ringing on agent phone/desktop. Can we change it? Thank you.

What Network MoH source have you got set on your CTI ports? - am guessing that nothing is set.
Create an MoH source using a wav recording of a ringing phone then apply this to the network MoH of your CTI ports ans your callers whould hear a ring phone when the call is transferred to an Agent

How to Recover Playlists when Transferring iTunes Library from External Drive to New Computer

iTunes library copied to external drive and then loaded to new computer. All songs are there but all of the playlists that I had set up do not appear. I cannot figure out how to retrieve/recover them. The back-up was not done by me so I'm not sure of the steps that were followed. Is there something special that needs to be done when backing up to external drive in terms of saving playlists? Help!

Hello TNCGRCT,
It sounds like the library was successfully transferred to the new computer, but the songs were imported into a new iTunes library. If you still have access to the external drive, or better yet the previous computer, we will want to transfer the iTunesLibrary.itl file and open it with iTunes:

Huge HD file sizes in iMovie when importing AVCHD files from HD Camcorder

Although several answers have been given on different ways to import HD files from a AVCHD camcorder, in this case a Sony one, the issue is what to do with the HUGE files it creates. I recorded 2 hours of HD content in about 30GB on the camcorder. I can burn those native HVCHD files on DVD's, took 6 of them, and play them on a Blue Ray player in HD. To edit, I tested a sample 50MB file that was about 3 minutes in length. It convered to quicktime file in the same 1920x1080 quality resulted in a file that was about 800MB, looked great, but how do I store or play a 20 minute version of it? iMovie is inadequate to do anything other than produce smaller size files for an iPod or lower quality, unless it is going to be a very short HD movie if doing true HD quality. One of the reasons I took the MAC plunge was the better multimedia capabilities. In this case, Apple (iMove and Final Cut) is behind.
I ended up shifting my HD editing back to a PC with $100 Sony Vegas software that can edit the AVCHD files and author in it. I can produce a DVD with about 25 minutes of edited HD in AVCDH file format and play it. I can also store the finished product in a much smaller space using AVCHD files. I have a 1 TB drive on my Mac that would be consumed if I worked in iMovie with converting all these AVCDH files and kept them in HD quality since it looks like it needs to expand them 12-16 times the AVCHD file size.
Yes, I know I could lower the quality to better work with them in iMovie, but that makes no sense to me. I want to record and edit in the HD format. Seems like these AVCHD cameras are becoming a standard since they are so efficient at storing HD content, iMovie needs to figure out how to edit and store them the same way. Very disappointed in how iMovie handles HD, to me it is NOT very good at handling HD, no good way to store or distribute it.
Am I missing soomething here? I have spent hours looking for a different answer, but have not found one yet? Maybe the next version of iMovie will be better. I like using it for SD DVD authoring, but for HD, did not work at all for me.
Jon

Interesting you say it is not meant for editing, but there are about a half dozen editor's for windows that will work on these exact files. I know with Sony Vegas that I have the same level of control with frame precision as I do with iMovie so I think there must be more to the story why Apple has not been able to support it like other software manufacturers who support windows. Don't get me wrong, i would love to do the work in iMovie and not have to learn something new. I don't have the storage space to use the HD apple format, that 2 hr of HD in AVCHD would turn into about 500GB then what do I put it on to play it. If the BlueRay standard calls for 25 or 50G disc's and we can get full two hour movies on them today, then they must be using a file format similar to AVCHD to fit on a disc, they cannot be using anything close to what Apple uses for HD files, it is just simple logic and math. So why doesn't Apple finure it out before everyone who starts working in HD comes to the same conclusion that the Apple QT file formats for HD is going to be an issue with space, you can create content, but cannot afford the disc space to store it or play it.
