Need help with media sou

every time i put a cd in my computer and click get info it says failed to receive information from music provider so im having to manually type all my albums is there something wrong or am i not doing something right.

It means that for some reason MediaSource cannot connect to Gracenote to get the CD data. Have you granted MediaSource permission to contact the Internet, assuming you're using a firewall?

  • Noob needs help with Media Encoder Settings

    Hi All,
    Please be gentle with me. I am very new to this.
    I am using PPCS4 full version on which I am trying to edit and export video from my Canon HF 10 using their AVCHD format.
    The Mac is a MAC PRO 2 x QuadCore 3.0Ghz, 1 x 320GB SATA and 3 x 1TB SATA disks with a 30" Apple Cinema Display.
    I can import and see the video running in the source window, it can be a bit choppy but i am putting dowm to the lack of RAM (more the way). My real problem is that when I export the files the result is, well bad. I either get what appears to be a line effect every other line on the screen or by using other settings it appears grainy.
    My Cam should be recording in 1080i HD and i expect to be able to put this stuff on a DVD / Blue-Ray disk or file and see as good an image as I see in the viewfinder. This I cannot seem to do.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hi
    I don't understand...please let me know...
    did media encoder work before and it just suddenly stopped working ?  Or  is this the first time you tried using it and it just doesnt work from  your original installation ?  In other words , did it EVER work for you using the HD ?
    What source material are you using ? In other words, what type of video.  MOV and AVI can have many different types of video inside those file extensions...they are called "wrappers" insomuch as they can have a lot of different "codecs" being used in the video.  Can you tell us what the video is that you're using when AME fails to work ?
    Also tell more about your computer setup...how many hard drives? Did you set up your system like recommended in many threads here in the forums ?
    There are a lot of really good and smart people here who can help you, but they need as much information as possible so they can begin to understand what is going on with your problem. It does take some time and work on your part to put all that info into a message, but it's worth it because most times problems are solved because of it.
    ps...not meant to be a criticism because you were angry about problem, but some people probably didnt respond to your trouble right away because of your initial mssg being a little bit scary..  most people here are just users like you and help each other. nobody wants to risk being yelled at or deal with someone who is just angry and isn't really supplying enough information to help solve the problem.  That's just my opinion, and I'm glad your response to my mssg was less angry sounding.  Whew !

  • Need help with Media Players, please.

    I have a mid-2007 iMac OS X 10.9.3 (Maverick) still in perfect shape, except for what I may have just messed up.
    I was trying to watch a video on VeeHD and it said that I needed the VeeHD plug-in.  From some research I did, I learned that the newer versions of DivX don't play well with Apple and that older versions worked better.  So, I uninstalled my DivX player (and everything DivX) from my computer and installed the recommended earlier version 14.  I'm still having the same problem.  I use Safari as my main browser because Firefox was giving me problems with loading times and buffering.
    I'm wondering what I did wrong because now, no matter what video content I try to play, I get a gray box with HTML5 in it instead of the usual "Play" button (the triangle).  Once I click on HTML5, it then says FLASH and I have to click that to get the video to load.  Even on YouTube.  No matter what I do now, I can't get this to change back to the way it was and pages in general are taking longer to load and buffer.  I tried repairing permissions.  I'm afraid I may have deleted a plug-in that I shouldn't have and don't know which one.
    Does anyone have any suggestions, please?  I'm afraid I've put my foot in it.  Also, which media players should I have or which ones are the best?  Which one is the best default player?  I have an updated Flash Player, Perian, VLC, Mac Media Player, DivX v.14, FLV Crunch, and Quicktime.  Too many?  Am I missing some?  I watch videos on different sites like Firedrive, GorillaVid, BestStream, MightyUpload, YouTube, etc.,  I've never had any problems until I messed around with my DivX player (the only player I had trouble viewing with, until now.)
    All helpful, constructive suggestions and advice will be greatly appreciated!

    That's exactly what it was.  I had ClickToFlash downloaded.  I've had it for awhile and it didn't affect any of my video watching until I uninstalled DivX.  I wonder why.
    Now that I understand ClickToFlash, the only thing I like about it is that it prevents videos from playing automatically when a page is loaded.  But, I uninstalled it and the loading and buffering delays went away.  Thanks very much!
    I meant to click "This solved my problem" on your post instead of "This helped me."  How can I change that?

    Go to Solution.

    Try turning OFF Mass Storage. Is encryption still enabled for Media Files in your device?
    If it is, Roxio should ask for the encryption password to allow you to access the media card.
    When it does, all media should be visible...

  • Need help with media-print style sheets

    I am trying to create a style sheet for printing only for pages on my site. I have found a lot of the same information describing how to remove unwanted items, and change colors and so forth for the items to be printed. My problem is that after the unwanted parts of the page are removed, the remaining test to be printed does not "flow" into the areas previously occupied by other elements. The printed text remains in the location on the page that it occupies on the webpage. How do I get the text to "take over" the whole page?
    Below is the style definition for the text content as it is displayed on the screen:
    div.mainBody {
         position:absolute;
         left:210px;
         top:145px;
         width:640px;
         height:595px;
         background-color:#000000;
         font : normal normal normal/normal Book Antiqua MS Sans Serif Times New Roman;
         text-align: justify;
         color:#CCCCCC;
    And here is the "new" definition for the text as it should be printed:
    .mainBody {
         position: absolute !important;
         left: 0px;
         top: 0px;
         width: 100%;
         margin: 0;
         padding: 0;
         background: white;
         font: normal normal normal/normal Book Antiqua MS Sans Serif Times New Roman;
         text-align: justify;
         color: #000;
         float: none;
         display: inline;
    All other elements on the page are "turned off" with "{ display: none; }"
    Why am I having so much trouble with such a simple thing?
    Thanks for any help!
    Mark

    Hello Mark,
    why do you think a feedback forum for Oracle forums is the right place to ask this question?

  • Need Help with my ZEN MX

    Need Help with my ZEN MX9<font face="lucida sans unicode,lucida sans">Hi folks. On my computer I have about 9G of different music, or 52 albums. I can't figure out how to get that music on to the player. To correct myself, I mean I know how to physically/logically copy it over to my player. All of that music is also?on the player in "Music" folder. I have this "Creative Centrale" installed and working. I need step-by-step instructions on how to create a PLAYLIST (I'm guessing), and have the?player play song after song in an album, not randomize the play. I think that is why I created that playlist. Thank You folks For Your Help?
    <font face="lucida sans unicode,lucida sans" size="3"><font face="lucida sans unicode,lucida sans" size="3">?

    I guess you have a problem with the inability of mx to play folders. i have used folders as playlists since i got my first computer since i just want to throw the folder with the files over to another media for playing. Not to be able to play tis is truly annoying.

    The new user account didn't work?
    Or, the firmware flash didn't work?
    I would try reconnecting the data ribbon. It is cramped and difficult to get to, but it may be some corrosion or a poor connection causing the issue.
    It's worth a try, as the DVR-115 is a good drive. They don't make them any more........

  • HOW DO YOU GUYS DEAL WITH APPLE.. SO CONFUSING...NEED HELP WITH SPECS FOR PURCHASE OF IMAC 21.5

    Hi guys, been reading your forums, blogposts, etc and am getting more confused.  I'm just a video girl trying to produce meaningful content through web videos for small to mid sized businesses and want to come over from the dark side. 
    Good news,, I dont need a super giant system,  I do simple editing for web videos, minimal graphics, no motion graphics, no animation etc. currently using CS4, will probably end up with 5.5.
    I want to get imac 21.5 or 27 if i have to..  So here's the question we all have,,, what do I really need besides an Apple fairy godmother to figure this crazy stuff out?????
    I want to be able to have firewire add on, but the rest is what I need help with.   So i've been looking at cs6 specs, even though im not there yet, eventually will be,, so just need to run cs4 now and build from there.  I also want to eventually move to final cut down the road so I want imac able to upgrade to final cut.
    WHAT DO I REALLY NEED MINIMALLY FOR NOW?  WHAT CAN I GET LATER IF i CHOOSE TO DO MORE AND NEED MORE POWER?
    cs6:
    Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support
    Mac OS X v10.6.8, v10.7, or v10.8**
    4GB of RAM (8GB recommended)
    4GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash storage devices)
    Additional disk space required for preview files and other working files (10GB recommended)
    1280x900 display
    7200 RPM hard drive (multiple fast disk drives, preferably RAID 0 configured, recommended)
    OpenGL 2.0–capable system
    DVD-ROM drive compatible with dual-layer DVDs (SuperDrive for burning DVDs; Blu-ray burner for creating Blu-ray Disc media)
    QuickTime 7.6.6 software required for QuickTime features
    Optional: Adobe-certified GPU card for GPU-accelerated performance
    Any responses would be great.  I know you guys are busy answering the really high end tech questions

    All the current iMac models (both 21.5" and 27" with OS X Mt. Lion 10.8) will run CS4, 5.5 and 6 just fine.  They will also run Final Cut Pro X just fine.  Ditto for most any application you may want to use.
    Below are some notes (specific to your apparent requirements) that may help you with your purchase decision:
    Notes on purchasing a 21.5" iMac
    All 21.5" iMacs come with 8GB RAM but you cannot add more later.  I strongly suggest getting the maximum RAM (16GB) when you order the iMac.
    The basic hard drive is a 1TB 5400rpm drive.  It will work fine with Adobe CS but you will probably want the added speed of the optional 1TB Fusion drive for better performance. Some people will recommend/argue for one of the optional SSD drives instead, but they are very expensive and still only come in relatively small capacities - I don't recommend the SSD drives.  Get the Fusion drive and spend any extra money on a good external hard drive for backup and/or extra storage instead of an SSD.
    Notes on purchasing a 27" iMac
    All 27" iMacs come with 8GB RAM and you can add more later, up to 32GB
    The basic hard drive is a 1TB 7200rpm drive - it will be fine with Adobe CS.  There are upgrade options to a 3TB 7200rpm drive or a 1TB or 3TB fusion drive - these will be fine also.  There are also SSD drive options, but I do not recommend them. (Same comments as above.)
    Notes on all the current iMacs
    iMacs no longer come with built-in CD/DVD drives.  If you need one, you will need to purchase the Apple Superdrive accessory drive ($79)
    All of the iMac graphic processors (GPU's) are compatible with Adobe CS 4, 5.5, 6
    It is very difficult to impossible to change or upgrade the hard drive later on, so don't buy low-end thinking you can add a better internal hard drive later.
    Be aware that Macs always come with the latest (most recent) version of OS X.  And OS X Mavericks (10.9) is due to be released soon (in the next month or two).  There is no guarantee that the older Adobe CS 4 or 5.5 versions will run on OS X Mavericks.  If you cannot upgrade to CS 6 in the near future, you may want to purchase now rather than after OS X Mavericks is released.
    For what it's worth, I'd recommend the 27" iMac if your budget can afford it.  You will appreciate the larger screen size and added capabilities over the years you will use the computer.

  • I need help with controlling two .swf's from third.

    Hi, thanks for reading!
    I need help with controlling two .swf's from third.
    I have a problem where I need to use a corporate designed
    .swf in a digital signage solution, but have been told by the legal
    department that it can not be modified in any way, I also can't
    have the source file yada yada. I pulled the .swfs from their
    website and I decompiled them to see what I was up against.
    The main swf that I need to control is HCIC.swf and the
    problem is it starts w/ a preloader, which after loading stops on a
    frame that requires user input (button press) on a play button,
    before the movie will proceed and play through.
    What I have done so far is to create a container swf,
    HCIC_container.swf that will act as Target for the HCIC.swf, and
    allow me to send actionscript to the file I'm not allowed to
    modify.
    I managed to get that done with the help of someone on
    another forum. It was my hope that the following script would just
    start HCIC.swf at a frame past the preloader and play button, and
    just play through.
    var container:MovieClip = createEmptyMovieClip("container",
    getNextHighestDepth());
    var mcLoader:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
    mcLoader.addListener(this);
    mcLoader.loadClip("MCIC.swf", container);
    function onLoadInit(mc:MovieClip) {
    mc.gotoAndPlay(14);
    But unfortunately it didn't solve my problem. Because there
    is a media-controller.swf, that is being loaded by HCIC.swf that
    has the controls including the play button to start HCIC.swf.
    Here's a link to a .zip file with all 3 .swf files, and all 3
    .fla files.
    http://www.axiscc.com/temp/HCIC.zip
    What I need to do is automatically start the HCIC.swf file
    bypassing the pre-loader and play button without editing it or the
    media-controller.swf in anyway. So all the scripting needs to be
    done in HCIC_container.swf.
    I know this is confusing, and its difficult to explain, but
    if you look at the files it should make sense.
    ActionScripting is far from my strong point, so I'm
    definitely over my head here.
    Thanks for your help.

    Got my solution on another forum.

  • I need help with XML Gallery Fade in out transition. somebody please help me :(

    I need help with XML Gallery Fade in out transition. somebody please help me
    I have my post dont want to duplicate it

    The problem doesn't lie with your feed, although it does contain an error - you have given a non-existent sub-category. You need to stick to the categories and sub-categories listed here:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#categories
    Subscribing to your feed from the iTunes Store page work as such, but the episodes throw up an error message. The problem lies with your episode media files: you are trying to stream them. Pasting the URL into a browser produces a download (where it should play the file) of a small file which does not play and in fact is a text file containing (in the case of ep.2) this:
    [Reference]

    Ref2=http://70.33.177.247:80/RiverratDoc/episode2.mp3?MSWMExt=.asf
    You must provide a direct link to the actual mp3 file. Streaming won't work. The test is that if you paste the URL of the media file (as given in the feed) into the address bar of a browser it should play the file.
