Mpeg files no longer work in QT and FCP

I was forced to do an archival install a few weeks ago and, since then, none of my mpeg files will open in Quick Time 7 Pro or Final Cut Pro. When I try and open the file with Quick Time Pro, I get error message -2048. All these video files worked before, and none of them work now. Any thoughts?

So I found the VLC program, and it seems to be playing all the mpeg files fine (thank God) so I'm thinking that it really is missing a component. I heard through the grapevine that owners of final cut pro should automatically get the mpeg 2 component, so I technically should have it, but I didn't see it in my quick time component folder. I'll go ahead and list everything I've got in there.

I don't know if this is related, either, but I can't seem to take movie files that I've made with Quick Time Pro and my iSight and put them into FCP. It keeps saying "File Error: Unknown File" (even though it's a quick time file). As far as the update goes, I already have QTP 7.0.3. Should I try installing the update again?

.mts files no longer working after erase and re-install.

I've been having a ton of crashes with Premiere CC. Now, after an erase and install I can't get .mts files to import natively. I get an error "file not supported" which has never happened before.
Am I missing something?

Hyperlinks to local files no longer work

Hyperlinks to local files no longer work in Adobe Reader 11.0.1, but they did prior to the update. We have verified this on multiple machines.
We create a document in Word, add multiple relative links to other files on our local computer, and save as a PDF. The links worked in previous versions, but no longer work in 11.0.1. Does anyone else have this problem?
Links to external websites still work, it's only the links to other local files. We also tried opening the same file in Foxit Reader, and the links worked just fine. Only appears to happen in Adobe Reader 11.0.1.
This is a real pain in the ___!

Hi efrancen,
What exactly happens when you click on the hyperlink. Does it give a message that target was not foud. Can you share the PDF or this taget hyperlink.

My ringer is no longer working for text and email notifications. Only working for phone calls. I have gone through all the settings to see where something is off. Not finding anything. I have tried changing the tone and it just vibrates on everything.

Ok so I happened to figure it out while on the phone to apple support. Even though the guy was very nice, I think I knew more than him! He was explaining very basic resolution principles I played about. I had the second option in displays resolution. All I did was unplug the HDMI cable, click on 'best for display' then plugged the HDMI in and my resolution on the normal monitor changed to the normal blue, then went black momentarily and then changed to a strange resolution but another window appeared that said SONY BRAVIA HDMI at the top! Hey presto! Don't know why it didn't do it yesterday - I probably left the HDMI cable in or something! Oh well. Problem solved!

5.1 audio no longer works on Netflix and HBO Go

I've noticed recently that 5.1 audio no longer works on Netflix and HBO Go. Those are the only apps I really use, so I can't speak for any others. My receiver lights up all of the speaker lights that it normally would for 5.1 audio, but it displays "Stereo" and I'm only getting stereo sound from my speakers for anything I play from those sources. The receiver works as it is supposed to for all of my other A/V devices. I tried restarting and restoring, but the problem remains. I can't think of anything else to do.

@sean0826 -- this is why you don't use Java menus. Even javascript menus are a bad idea; you need to have a secondary menu system ANYTIME you have a menu system that requires a plugin or scripting to be active. NOT EVERYONE browses with that stuff on.
The only thing you can do for now is FTP to your site and add in static menus (like we did in the "old days" at the bottom of the page; or rip out the Java Menus and install static or CSS versions.
BTW where are you rmenus supposed to be. I have opera, safari, ff, and a few others. they all look the same. So if that's true, it's the plugin that's the problem, not safari.
In Opera Pogo.com works. java loads, the game is there. It does have some drawing issues but not surprised.
In Safair Pogo works fine. Just played a game of chess.

AAC files no longer work

I have 865 AAC files which no longer work.
These are in iTunes but no longer play. Can't really say when they quit but noticed it tonight and went thru them all.
If I view them in the Finder, they don't play with Quicklook or by preview in the Finder window.
No other application will play them (VLC, QuickTime).
In the Finder, it shows them as an MPEG-4 Audio File. The extension is .m4a, which is an AAC.
Icon is correct.
In iTunes, when I get info, everything is on the left side of the Summary tab but right side is blank. It should have the Profile, channels and Encoded with: (iTunes and QT version).
Looking at file properties in VLC, everthing except the name is blank (arist, genre, etc.).
Bit rates are different (128, 160, 192, 256 VBR).
Dates added and modified are from 2005 to a few weeks ago.
Single songs to whole albums.
Some iTunes DRM, some iTunes plus and some imported from CDs.
I'm running 10.5.7 on the internal drive and my iTunes folder is on another drive on a 10.4.11 partiton.
I have copies of these files on another drive and comparing them in the Finder, they have the same creation and mod dates. They are the same number of bytes.
The only difference is one works and one doesn't.
Ran Disk First Aid and Permissions repair on both drives.

Not in figuring out what happened.
I copied the files from a backup drive to the original drive replacing the files and everything works fine.
Okay now, here's something really whack.
I had dumped all the files into the trash but have not empied it yet.
I installed 10.5.8 yesterday and it works great.
However, now looking at the song files in the trash, they all play correctly with Quick Look (spacebar).

Old .idx files no longer working

Old .idx files (index files) that worked with Reader 9 no longer work with Reader XI. Because of this, I have not upgraded beyond Reader 9, but I love the new XI. Is there any way of converting the old .idx file so that they will work in XI? (is there a simple upgrade tool?)

Latest iPhoto, v.9.5. New Library: same result. But all files that iPhoto balks at ('sees' them, but warning exclamation point and not opened) open happily in Preview.
(A thought: maybe I should try Loom. But iPhoto really should be able to handle these files if Preview can.)

Toolbox shortcut commands no longer work in CS2 and...

Toolbox shortcut commands no longer work in PS CS2. Any command that I try to execute in PS generates a "program error" message, including trying to exit the program. Now I have to go into Task Manager and "kill" it in there to get out of it. Images and changes will not save.
I have deleted the PS preferences and rebooted. I un-installed and re-installed PS. Same problem. Only happens in PS, not InDesign.
I can click directly on the toolbox to activate a certain tool, but this is so painfully slow. I'm pretty much dead in the water so any help appreciate.
Dell 8400 3 ghz box, Window XP latest version, all updates.
Tons of memory and hard drive space.
[sig deleted by forum host]

The program has worked without any problems for two years. It was purchased at CDW under our company account.
Here's where I am with it. I am completely screwed now and at the "format the hard drive" point. When I go to install the CS2 Suite, the installer disk says that everything is out there on the hard drive BUT Photoshop, even though I used the installer CD to removed all components. I can't reinstall over anything, or install anything at all.
I went through the OS Registry and cleaned out what I think is everything but the install disk is reading something somewhere in a file that I can't seem to locate. I also went through the Common files under programs and cleaned that out as well. So, it looks like a reformat for me.
So, I've order a brand new 250 gig hard drive in case there are any issues going on from that end. Right now I'm going through withdrawal symptoms because I no longer can access CS2 and I have a boatload of projects to work on. Your basic nightmare. Wait, maybe I'm dreaming all this...

PCS no longer working with contacts and 6086

I have applied the latest release of PC Suite 6.84.10.3.
Previously the installed level was 6.83.14.1
The send/read/write message still doesn't work but hangs the Windows Explorer for a while (this hang didn't occur previously)
But now, the contact facility no longer works. It is no longer possible to edit a contact, to store it locally or to send it to the phone even a message says everything is OK
(translate it from french: The contact has been well recorded into the phone)
Folder browsing still works correctly, either the phone folder or the memory card folder
Need a fix or a way to install the previous version, at least for the contacts...
This is a really negative feedback!

I guess what I learned is that sometimes the best solution is to do nothing and wait for the problem to solve itself! Funny, this has never worked for me before.
WOT is now working for me but often for only the first few rows of images. That's cool that it is also working with bing images.
Boudica, thanks for understanding. I am new contributor/ question-asker here on mozilla and may not understand how things are done. I was just frustrated, getting an email saying that my question was answered, logging in to find that it wasn't.
Now we have the functionality that we wanted, right?

Home Sharing no longer works between iTunes and Apple TV.

I've been through all the forums, tried all the solutions provided and I have come to the conclusion that Home Sharing just no longer works between iTunes on a PC and my Apple TV. Does anyone know if this issue will be addressed or should I list my Apple TV up on eBay? (along with my iPad, iPod, and iPhone, since all system no longer sync together as before.)
My issue:
My iTunes library is no longer listed under "Computers" on the Apple TV.
The airplay icon no longer shows up in iTunes. (Version 11)
I cannot play music/content from my iPhone or iPad via remote that is stored in my iTunes library through my Apple TV.
I can however play music/content that is stored locally on my iPhone and iPad through my Apple TV.
My firewall settings are allowing access to Apple TV.
After logging into my router, I see no issues there.
I've logged in/out, turned home sharing on/off, de-authorized/authorized, and restarted my PC, Apple TV, and Router.
All devices are logged into the same iTunes account, and are on the same wireless network.
Time for a solution Apple.

If you turn off wifi on your Computer and connect it to the apple tv using an ethernet cable can you see your library under computers in Apple TV.
If yes the issue is with your wifi not the Apple TV

iTunes Home Sharing Not Working
Not working and sometimes when it is working, it cuts out in the middle, or when you click on the computer name, the focus goes away from the library. In other words, really weird.
What it is
iTunes has a feature called "Home Sharing" - it basically allows you to share your entire or part of your library with other instances of iTunes in your home network. It requires you to login to your iTunes account on both computers. A typical scenario is to enable Home Sharing on your desktop machine and then access the library from your iPad, Apple TV, iPhone, Mac, etc.
In my case, I have iTunes on my desktop machine running Windows XP in the attic with Home Sharing enabled and then I access the library from my Macbook and Apple TV, depending on what I want. How to use Home Sharing can be found here.
Symptoms
Home Sharing machine not showing up in Apple TV or the Macbook
The Macbook home sharing not showing up on my desktop
Home Sharing working intermittently
Connections getting cut of intermittently
Usually, restarting iTunes or the desktop computer will make things work.
Sometimes, restarting the Macbook or the Apple TV will make things work.
The "working" doesn't last long
The FixOn the desktop computer where the Home Sharing is enabled, I disabled the "QoS Packet Scheduler" from the network connection:
Open Control Panel
Open Network Connections
Right-Click on your connection (in my case, it was "Wireless Network Connection 4"
Select Properties
Uncheck "QoS Packet Scheduler"
Click OK
Restart iTunes if necessary
After doing the above, Home Sharing worked like a charm.

Safari Javascript on iPad2 no longer works 8.2 and 8.3

Since updating myiPad2 to 8.2 and later 8.3, javascript elements in websites viewed with Safari and Chrome no longer work. I can successfully view/use these same websites on another iPad with an older IOS.
Here's what have tried so far:
-soft reset (home+power)
-clear safari cache/website data
-forget network
-toggle javascript on and off
-every combination of the above
-upgrade to 8.3 and repeat all of the above
Does anyone have anything to add that I could try?
Thank you.

Time Capsule no longer works after unplugged and plugged back in

See if you can follow this.
When i first got the time capsule about 2 months ago i had problems right off the bat. I changed the WEP to a WPA, plugged the time capsule into the router instead of going wirelessly and used it to extend the network. After several time of reseting the capsule, changing settings and passwords, and waiting several minutes for the airport utility to say it could not connect i finally got it to work.
Now, the other day i went to move my desktop to another outlet, so everything was unplugged via the surge protector, for about 5 minutes then plugged back in. Now the capsule no longer works. I was getting the same messages as two months ago, as if everything was reset in turning it off for a minute. I went through the same processes as last time to get it to work, but not this time. After waiting at the airport page for a few minutes it says that internet connection is the issue. Now the capsule is about 1 foot away from the router and plugged in, and i have internet connection to the desktop and my macbook pro.
Does anyone have any ideas, omitting the stupid suggestions web pages tend to give, such as is it plugged in? is it turned on?
Help is GREATLY appreciated.

"plugged the time capsule into the router' try bridge mode and also configure its wireless setting

.move files no longer working now I'm in Vista

I have vid projects made in Premiere Elements 2. I've upgraded my computer, and of course was forced to now use Vista. I discovered Elements 2 didn't work on the machine - looked like it was working, but was unable to save.
Fine, so I've upgraded to Elements 4. But I still have the same problem - The projects which worked perfectly well in Elements 2 do not work in Elements 4 on Vista. The vid files for the projects are .mov files. Just now I saw an error when trying to use a downloaded vid converter--it said no Quick Time codec was found. That was never an issue on my old computer--Vista doesn't come with .mov codecs?
I've looked and looked, am confused, am very frustrated I can't finish my work on these projects. I MUST be able to open these again and continue work in Elements 4 on my new Vista machine.
Desperate for solutions. Thank you.
Randy B.

Randy,
One thing that QuickTime (QT) allows one to do is use "reference" files. Basically, one will have a MOV file, with is only a proxy and requires the actual files (from which it was created) to be available. This is *probably* what you have with the MOV and the "numbered files." The MOV is the reference, or proxy, and the numbered files are what it references. I'll often see a folder with 1 MOV (small in comparison) and then dozens of larger MP4 (or other MOV) files, that the proxy MOV file references and needs to play. Without them, it has nothing to reference.
Point two: on a Mac, QT has a "professional" CODEC (forget the exact name of it now), which is often used by Final Cut Pro (FCP, Apple only). This CODEC is not available on PC. When a file has gone through FCP, it needs to be Exported to a format that is cross-platform. A lot of FCP users do not realize this and just do as they normally will - Export to the default. Unfortunately, PC users cannot use these files, because the CODEC is not even available for the PC.
I'd ask that the files be re-Exported to DV-AVI and your problems will very likely go away. If this cannot be done, then ask that they be Exported to "self-contained" MOV files, hi-rez, but with a universal CODEC, not something like H.264, which is very popular but the file will be highly compressed, to start.
As for the MOV files playing in WMP, something is wrong there, very wrong. WMP does not play MOV files. Now, some other players, like VLC Player, and Media Player Classic, might be able to play some, but not all. What version of QT do you have? I just upgraded to 7.5.5 (249.13), which was the latest as of last week. I do have the QT Pro version (on all machines), but I noticed that 7.5.5 included a few CODECs that my older version (about 7.3) did not. These were automatically installed on the system (more on that later). The problem versions seem to have been around 7.4.1. They gave all Adobe programs fits, not just PE. It *seems* that Apple has fixed, whatever was broken. Main things that the QT Pro version allows is rudimentary editing (basically file joining, with just a very little more), and Export to various formats and various CODECs. Regular QT is just a player with a bunch of advertising hung on it. Unfortunately, the Pro version does not dispense with that advertising [sigh].
Now to CODECs. These are little appelets (often .dll's) that need to be installed on the system and registered. Once done, they are available to all programs, that use CODECs. You don't need to move anything. However, some CODECs will establish a "priority" for their use. While they do not overwrite other CODECs, they will set their priority higher, and this can fritz with some programs, which expect b THEIR
CODECs to have priority for certain formats. This can get tricky to go in and re-set these priority flags. There are some utilities, that can do it, or one can hack the Registry - not a good thing, unless one knows exactly what they doing and have a backup of the Registry.
This is one reason for only installing CODECs that are needed, as some can mess up existing CODECs. CODEC "packs" are notorious for ruining good ones. Also most of the CODECs contained in the packs are hacked, or reverse-engineered versions of real CODECs and are often poorly implemented. Some CODEC packs even contain malware.
Now back to the Reference (Proxy) MOV files. These are often used in NLE's, that support them, as a way to edit by proxy, so that the changes can be made to the full version, when done. This method requires few resources, because the files being edited are just placeholders for the real data. Adobe NLE's do not allow Proxy file editing.
In your case, I think you need to go back to the camera person and ask for the footage to be Exported to something that all NLE's, and all platforms, can use, like DV-AVI with 48KHz 16-bit PCM/WAV Audio. That will solve your problems with these files. Next would be to get the latest QT, and upgrade it to Pro (~US$40). Unless the QuickTime Professional (not inculded, or available for any PC) CODEC was used, you should be able to handle/Export them. If that one CODEC was used, you're hosed. Only a Mac with that CODEC can work with the files. You might find a post-production facility locally, that has it, and can make the conversion for you to DV-AVI. DV-AVI is
i "virtually"
lossless. It certainly beats having files that cannot be edited on a PC.
Good luck,
Hunt
[Edited to add] If you old system worked with these files in PE2 perfectly, but your new system (Vista) with PE4 does not, it probably rules out the QT Professional CODEC (wish I could recall the name). What it does mean is that your old system had the proper CODECs installed, and your new system does not - very common occurance. Try the newest QT version 7.5.5, or greater, and see if it installs the proper CODECs. Next make sure that you do
b NOT
delete any files from the folders with the reference files. It is but a shell, a little database, a proxy and does not contain any Audio, or Video, data. It absolutely needs the rest. If you upgrade to QT Pro, you can launch your reference file in QT Player, and Pause it. Then Export, and at the least choose a Self-Contained MOV file,
b NOT
a reference file.

Cr2 files no longer work

All of my cr2 files no longer open in camera raw. This is roughly 1000 files.
The setup used to take these 1000 cr2 files was a Canon T3i in conjunction with Capture One and a tethered USB cable.
Suddenly today not a single file can be opened in ACR. I usually just drop the .cr2 file on CS6 in dock and it opens camera raw. I now get the message "Could not complete your request because Photoshop does not recognize this type of file.". If I instead go open cs6 > file > open > enable: camera raw > open.. it says the same thing.
I haven't change anything in my setup. Same camera, same tethered cable, same Capture One...
Even if I did change something, it shouldn't affect the cr2 files I generated 6 months ago?

When I go Help > About Plug-ins > Camera Raw I do not see "About Plug-Ins".
