Major Shuffle Problems

My Shuffle is totally messed up. I turn it on and the little orange/green light flashes. I plug it into my computer and iTunes pops up. My Ipod shows up in the menu bar thing and when I click it it shows my playlist. The problem is that there is nothing there. The music that I loaded onto it a while ago is still taking up space but, it is not showing up and wont play. I have already trying reseting my Ipod and restoring it. Anyone know how to fix it?

That ruled out the obvious, anyway.
Are you able to add songs back onto the shuffle? I don't know what's happened, but I'd try replacing the songs if you can. Otherwise, I'd probably try toggling Disk Use on and giving a large amount of space over to files, then putting it back. And if that doesn't work (and I don't really know why it would, unless your shuffle has somehow gotten dedicated to files instead of music) all I'd know to do would be to go through the uninstall/reinstall route.
Good luck

Adobe Captivate 8 projects published to HTML 5 shows major loading problems and stops

Adobe Captivate 8 projects published to HTML 5 cause major loading problems in most browsers(IE 11, Chrome v. 35.0, Firefox v. 31). Loading… (screen)
The view stops after a while and only the Loading… (icon) can be seen on the page.
Is this a known problem with Captivate projects published to html5 and is there a way to fix it? What is wrong?
Test the html5 version of this project at: http://kurs.dokker.no/captivate/
and see for yourself what happends.

I changed the Preferences/Project/Start and End Preloader % to 25 and published the projects again. The course: http://kurs.dokker.no/captivate/elev/
stopped like before on one of the first slides, loading… screen like before in IE11.
In Chrome v. 37.0 the course worked badly, would not run, sound missing and buttons not working.
In Firefox 31.0 the course worked to a degree even if the program was advising to use another browser for this content.
In Opera 23.0 sound was missing and else working as bad as IE.
All this testes is done on a PC using Windows 8 connected på internet via ethernet, download speed: 66.57.
I would like to use the HTML5-format since it has a cleaner view than swf-files that appear to be jagged, but there is a lot missing before Adobe Captivates html5 publish is where it needs to be. Her are the complete html5 course and here are the swf based course for comparison.

Major system problems, hanging up at startup.

I'm developing some major sytem problems with my G4 Mac. It all seemed to start with a jumping cursor and then a dying mouse. I could not get the Mac to startup with several trys. It wouldn't even start up off of my external drive. I would get the first four icons in the upper right hand corner of the screen and the it would hang. I tried all of the usual fixes- permissions, disk utiliy, Disk Warrior, zapping pram. I finally started unplugging external items and getting back to original Mac- switching the firewire port in the back of my Lacie external drive helped for awhile, but now I'm getting the jumping cursor again and fearing I'll get a hangup again. Any ideas on how I can solve this problem? If not, can you point me somewhere for instructions on how to reinstall the system software? I have already installed a clean system on my external drive. Once I reinstall all of my apps there, and get it running properly, can I move all of that to my internal HD somehow? My original system disks for this computer is Jaguar 10.2 if that helps.
Thanks for your help,
Dick Skover

Dick,
Some observations and notes.
Have you tried using a different mouse, or changing
the port it is plugged into?
Yes, I tried and am using a inexpensive Logitech optical mouse. The one that came with the computer seemed to get very eratic and then not work at all. I did try plugging into different ports and that didn't make a difference.
How did you upgrade from Jaguar 10.2.x to
Panther 10.3.9?
I upgraded the simplest way, I guess. I had read about more complex ways to do it at the time Panther came out, but also heard you could do a simple upgrade. I don't remember the exact steps I used. Boy, this is way more complex than my original Mac in 1984.
What size is your Hard Drive, and how much space is
available? I should say I have quite a few applications.
My HD is 75 Gig with 17 Gig available.
Is your installed RAM original or added?
Yes, it came installed when I purchased it: 1.5 Gig
In one post you wrote "My original system disks
for this computer is Jaguar 10.2..."
I heard something back when Panther came out that the fact I started with 10.2, didn't allow me to do certain things like archive and backup.
But in another, you wrote "Yes, my original
Panther disk and then updated everything via
Internet."
Please clarify.
When I decided to install a clean system on my external HD I just used my Panther 10.3 disk- I didn't go all the way back to 10.2
"Yes, Disk Warrior found some problems, I don't
know exactly what they were."
Were the errors corrected? Have you rerun Disk
Warrior, to see if they are indeed repaired?
Actually I ran DW today again on the internal HD and it came up with a couple of problems that it said it repaired. Should I keep running it until it doesn't indicate any problems?
A couple other things you can check.
Open System Preferences > Accounts > Your Account >
Startup Items.
Is there any item in there that you are not familiar
with, or did not put there yourself?
Yes I did try that- I had a repair person come in to help me. He did point that out and we deleted items that didn't need to be there. What he suggested did help for a week, but the problem came back. I called him again, but he said the only thing left to do was re-install.
From the Utilities folder, start Activity
Monitor.
Select Active Processes.
Watch for whatever process is hogging %CPU.
Yes he ran activity monitor also- there didn't seem to be programs hogging the processor although we deleted those that look familiar.
I also have a question about the title screems that pop up on start up. In the past I used to have several things being checked as it went through the process, now I get welcome to Macintosh and that's it. I seem to remember indications that Macaroni was running, but no longer see any of that. I do have Macjanitor also and thought that one of those automatically runs at startup?
I will run pseudo daily, weekly and monthly tasks now. Is this something that Macjanitor does, or should I run the maintenance scripts periodicaly?

10.4.9 - Major audio problems with digital audio

I have a Digital XMPCR radio with Edirol MA-20D Digital speakers
I now have major audio problems, the audio is garbled and doesn't sound as strong. Kinda like a FM radio in a car that is loosing signal when you are traveling.
I use this XMPCR for a couple of hours a day and had no problems this morning prior to installing the update.
I have a XMPCR that was modified for Toslink/Digital connection. I connect the XMPCR to my Mac Pro 2.66 with toslink cables and connect my Edirol MA-20D digital speakers with toslink cables. I use Amoeba's "LineIn" for audio pass through.
I thought it might me the FTDIUSBSerialDriver so I reinstalled it, did not fix the problem.
I also have a real bad "buzzing" sound going on in the background. When I quit JXM (the application for changing channels on the XMPCR), the "buzzing" goes away but I have a rapid ticking sound coming out of the speakers until I quit LineIn.
Anyone else have any problems with their digital audio input/outputs?

I dont use the digital XMPCR radio, but I use Digital Performer to record audio and MIDI and I use exclusively the Built-In Audio input and Output and everything is working fine after the 10.4.9 Upgrade.

Major iPhone Problem

Hello,
I'm having a major iPhone problem!!!
My phone crashed yesterday and wont turn back on or charge since then. It will start up with the apple logo and then the screen goes dark, will only stay on for about 30 secs. It's an original not jailbroken or anything like that. iTunes won't recognize it at all, I tired resetting it, hard resetting it, a different cord, basically everything and NOTHING works!
Please help! Thank you!

try doing a hard restart - hold home + power until the phone shuts down... then connect it to your puter.
you may have too many things running in the background on the phone... i have heard fetch & push can drain your battery like you experienced... i don't use them, i get my mail when i open the application.

After Int Install OS10.5.8 on PowerPC G4 having major system problems (created user to verify) CS4 apps go non responsive

Ok no difference, I don't get any drive errors that seem significant or numerous, sometimes I don't get any at all, the disk always verifies and I haven't had to run a repair on it yet. I've gotton one or two drive errors, I'll save them next time I run either DU or DW.... however with permissions, there are a lot and they all fix (except: see below: Last 3: ACL errors are always there) but as I keep having to do force quits and system re boots they keep coming back; posted them below IDK if this will help you to help me, LOL... but figured it couldn't hurt, the ones below are re-occuring I know i've seen them b4. . . Don't know if this makes a difference but on initial install I had several font conflicts w/system fonts, I renamed suitcases and that error message hasn't come back . . . but do you think this could be a font issue . . . I have like 12,000 fonts of which a couple hundred are ususally always active . . . IDK it doesn't make sense to me it would be, but you never know... just a shot in the dark
I also saved my last PS crash report and it was like 100 Pages long, I've never seen one that long, I make a pdf of it and post link to my idisk, if its something that you can interpet.

MAJOR EXPORT PROBLEMS! PLEASE HELP!

Hello. I hope everyone had a nice holiday. I'll try to be brief. I'm having a horrible problem with exporting my films. I work on a PC. To me, that shouldn't matter, but here's what's been happening. I shoot my films at 23.976 frames on the 5DMII and the 7D. My film got into a film festival. They asked for a 720p mp4 file. OK, no problem. I went under H.264, I exported an HD File, with 23.976 frame rate and I checked both boxes for Max Render and I set a 2-pass. I exported and when I played the vid back through Windows Media Player, it felt fine.
BUT, at the festival this past weekend, I was horrified to discover that my film, and no other films, was having a major sound problem. The audio was about half a second ahead of the footage, so they kind of looked like they were speaking correctly, but their dialogue would finish right before their mouths would. Super embarrassing. All I noted when I saw the tech booth was that they were using a mac laptop hooked to the projector, so I assume maybe it was quicktime they were running? Also, I believe they put all of the vids together as one file so it would run together as one block, but still, I believe most of the other films were shot at 23.976 frames as well, so that shouldn't matter.
I went home, thinking maybe I just wasn't being diligent enough and I needed to really look at the sound. Maybe it was off. But I keep all of the temp tracks, the sound from the dslr, on track 1 and then just mute it. I unmuted and played both tracks, and there's no difference. No echo, no weird delays, they're both perfectly synched up.
I've been having this problem for a long time but this was the first time that I REALLY could see the problem, probably because it was on such a big screen. Just my opinion, but I've found that most festivals are running MAC software and it seems like the vids I export seem to have an audio problem being played through mac programs. Another instance, briefly. I did a screening for a feature I edited. I exported an HD mp4 and put it on a friends MAC. The sound was off when we pre-screened it. I have a PC Toshiba laptop, I ran the vid through windows media player, and it felt much better, so we screened using my laptop and it went fine. But what does that mean?
Has anyone else had this problem? It's not just festivals too. I have a subscription with Vimeo, but every short film that I put up there has some kind of an audio drift problem. It's always minor so some people see it and some people don't, but I'm certain the vids are fine on my timeline. Do I need to export using something else? A different setting? As a quicktime vid? That last question seems kooky since any tutorial I've seen is usually wanting h.264, so I just don't know.
Please let me know if there's anything I can try or if you just have an opinion. Thanks very much.

3.1 update, major audio problems!

so i updated to 3.1 today and just noticed some major audio problems:
1. when I answer a phone call I can't hear anything through the ear piece, but the caller can hear me. i can only hear them when I put them on speaker. same thing with voicemail.
2. the ringer works when I get a call, but text, voicemail and email chimes/tones aren't audible at all.
3. the built in speaker no longer works when playing iTunes music, YouTube, or games. i can only hear audio when plugging in headphones.
all my settings are the same as before the update, but despite adjusting the volume controls/rocker none of the audio settings are working properly. i also reset/restarted the phone (home + sleep buttons) a few times, but no use. what the he'll is going on?
Message was edited by: d.c.1

I've got the same thing- from the speakers, no ring tone, games don't have speaker audio, no email or text audio-- except with the earphones. iTunes music plays thru the speakers but not games or afore-mentioned items. l've never had a problem before. also reset and restored- still the same.

MAJOR FONT PROBLEM - GREEK FONTS - GREEK SYSTEM

Dear All
I own a G4 purchased from a local Apple Authorized reseller for greece Rainbow computers in order to be able to use Greek fonts. Recently upgraded to OSX Version 10.4.3
However I'm facing major font problems in applications such as Adobe Software i.e CS2
Greek fonts that actually work are very limited. For example in Illustrator only Myriad Pro and Lucida Grande function properly.
In Macromedia Freehand although a few more greek fonts work, they either disappear or become scrambled when I attempt to "Convert them to curves"!
This only applies to OSX Tiger. Panther seemed to be working fine for this, in Freehand.
I work as a graphic designer and it is very frustrating when I'm only limited to very few greek fonts even on a GREEK SYSTEM!!!
By the way: I tried all suggested methods on the forum such as: Greek keyboard layouts, verifying permissions, switching to System Greek Language, reinstalling Illustrator etc..
Is there anything else that i can do?
Pls help.. !

I own a G4 purchased from a local Apple Authorized
reseller for greece Rainbow computers in order to be
able to use Greek fonts.
Generally speaking, for problems with Rainbow's stuff you need to consult Rainbow. Apple itself does not produce a localized Greek system or the special add-ons that Rainbow provides to let you use non-Unicode Greek with older apps.
However I'm facing major font problems in
applications such as Adobe Software i.e CS2
Greek fonts that actually work are very limited. For
example in Illustrator only Myriad Pro and Lucida
Grande function properly.
For an app like this you probably need to use Unicode Greek fonts. Those that come with Tiger are Lucida Grande, Helvetica, and Times. If you have MS Office 2004, you can also use Arial and Times New Roman and maybe Verdana from that app. Plus modern Adobe fonts like Myriad or Minion Pro. I suspect that legacy non-Unicode fonts will not work.
In Macromedia Freehand although a few more greek
fonts work, they either disappear or become scrambled
when I attempt to "Convert them to curves"!
I think Freehand is non-Uncode and probably needs the older fonts.
For problems with Adobe and Macromedia apps, you might also want to ask in their forums:

Major Reconnection Problems

Hey all,
An editor just emailed me the project file of a rough cut for a feature we're both working on, and I've been having pretty major reconnection problems. Despite the fact that we're working with exactly the same files on two identical drives, when I try to reconnect all the media I get the message:
+"The file does not have proper content to reconnect to "(clip name)" at time (timecode) in sequence "(sequence name".+
+Click "OK" to make this item independent and go to the next clip or "Cancel" to skip all clips from this file."+
When I click "OK" (which I have to do 200 times, as this problem reoccurs over and over with many different clips at many different points in time), it eventually reconnects.
However, though it appears that the clips have all successfully reconnected, the sync for the entire project is almost completely off. Sometimes it reconnects to the wrong part of the correct audio clip, sometimes it substitutes the incorrect clip altogether.
Does anyone have any idea how to solve this problem? It's been driving me crazy for weeks.

Stumbled upon these problems today. Final Cut Pro did not way want to reconnect the media to the capture scratch files. Only thing I did was I moved them to another drive.
What solved the problem: rename all scratch files by adding the extension '.mov'. Confirm they are now decent quicktime movies.
You might want to learn the single unix terminal command to do this for the entire batch at once.

Hip hip hooray ive fixed my shuffle problem

dear all....
after battling my shuffle for the last two days ive won the battle of nerves.....
my problem was as follows...the shuffle wasnt being recognised by windows but was showing up on itunes, when trying to download to it nothing would happen and a message saying cannot read or write to disk was showing...
how i fixed it..
had a few goes at this but it has now seemed to work...
download updater 2006-06-28 from shuffle downloads...dont bother trying to update as this didnt help one iota..go to restore factory settings and completely restore all..if this doesnt work try it a few times...if it does, when back in itunes do not rename your shuffle just leave it at set name and it should download your whole library....
hope this works as it seems to have done the trick for me

Congradulations on getting your problem fixed.. Dare I explain mine to you? I just received a shuffle for my birthday (making major strides in technology . However it appears that something is awry. After charging the shuffle for the perscribed time, I am still having issues with flashing lights on the the instrument and much to my dismay....no bloody music. Can you tell me how to get this thing jump started?
Thanks much.

HT6030 Having major Mail problems since I updated Maverick on my 27" iMac. Delays deleting emails and moving emails to other folders. Anyone else having this issue? If so, any known fixes?

I have an iMac that around 3 years old. Just installed Mavericks when it first was released. I also have a Time Capsule (2TB) that runs my network to my other three Apple devices: iPad2, iPhone 5s and a new Apple TV. Having major Mail issues here. Everything is very delayed and extremely slow. Moving emails to other folders sometimes takes a few minutes and the same goes for deleting emails. Delete them and they don't go into the trash for several minutes. It's getting very frustrating to say the least. Mail also quits very often. Mail also will freeze with the little color ball spinning, therefore I would have to force quit Mail. When the errors occur, it's automatically sent to Apple but there hasn't been an update since 10.9.1 that has fixed it. Apparently, that update was only for gmail issues. Anyone having the same problem? Fixes please?

I have my entire network and all Apple devices setup as IMAP, not POP. If your settings are setup as a POP account on all devices, emails will not erase when deleted on your other devices. Just something to keep in mind. I'm sure you're aware of this but just wanted to throw it out there. Google IMAP vs POP. However, it seems like your having the same issues as I am. I'm going to swing by an Apple store by me and speak to the genius bar and see if they can come up with something or are aware of this issue. Keep you posted.

Please help diagnose iPod shuffle problem

Have a 1 GB iPod shuffle that is connected to an iMac G4 800 Mhz with 512 MB of RAM and running OS 10.3.9. I am having a problem that seems to be a common one. The iPod Shuffle simply won't mount. It doesn't show up on the desktop, doesn't run iTunes, doesn't show up in iTunes, and the iPod Software Updater keeps saying, "insert an iPod to update it", so it would appear the entire computer doesn't recognize it.
However, the iPod itself isn't bad, because when I plug it into a 12" PowerBook G4, it works fine. I have also managed to get the iPod Shuffle to work with the iMac under only one circumstance. If a wired keyboard is plugged in and the iPod Shuffle is plugges into one of the keyboard's USB ports, it works fine.
I have tried the following:
1. Complete update of every piece of software, including iTunes.
2. Permissions repair, then restart.
3. Unplugging all USB devices and plugging the shuffle into all three ports, one by one.
As I mentioned before, iPod Software Updater doesn't recognize the iPod. However, when I got a 12" PowerBook to recognize it, I ran the updater there, and it said the current firmware was up to date.
What else can I try?

Brad,
How about a few questions right back at ya!
Does it work every time when you plug it into the wired keyboard or did that just happen once? Since you mentioned a "wired" keyboard can I assume you would rather use a wireless one?
Since the keyboard worked fine but plugging the Shuffle directly into the 3 USB ports does not, my guess would be that the design of the Shuffle or USB ports make it hard to seat the device completely - you said the light was on but no mount happens, this might mean that it's not seated completely. I don't own a Shuffle and I would guess Apple would not design the ports badly but this is my guess if the keyboard, which plugs into the very same USB ports, makes the Shuffle mount.
Good luck and I hope you get the Shuffle going soon!

Big, confusing iPod Shuffle Problem

Okay, this is a confusing one, so read it carefully to understand it fully
The iPod shuffle in question is my ladyfriend's, bought in October 2005, and has never caused us a bit of trouble. Until last night.
Last night I downloaded and ran the new iPod Shuffle fix that Apple distributed (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303979) The iPod never had trouble in the past, but I wanted to keep up with the updates so that it stayed that way, and ran it.
After it had finished running and reset, the iPod dissapeared from the finder. I thought "great, all done and dusted." When I tried to plug it in again and add music, I went through the "what is it called" tabs etc. which come up when you first use a shuffle. It was on the Finder, in iTunes, all was well.
I noticed that after a few seconds, the iPod dissapeared from the Finder. Stayed in iTunes, but had seemingly vanished from everywhere else. This is interesting, as it's one of the things that the fix is supposed to solve in the first place!
This is my problem. The iPod vanishes when something tries to use it. If I enable 'disk use' on the device, it appears. Turn it off, vanishes again. The iPod vanishing tricks have given me some error:1418's, which were fixed to many on a website dedicated to the 1418 error who used the fix. Even running older updaters doesn't fix these problems.
I'd like to have this iPod stop dissapearing when I open programs such as iTunes, and have it work properly again.
If anyone can contribute anything to this, I'd be very appreciative.
Cheers everyone.
