Need help with skipping audio after upgrading to 10.9.1.

Having read the fine print, I now know that I should not have upgraded to 10.9.1 in the middle of a project. So, started with a brand new library/event/project and I am still getting dropped out audio. Video image is fine. When I scrub back and replay a clip, it sometimes plays better but still skips - only in new places.
Tech info: shooting with Canon C-100 converting files through Brosoft MTS (422 HQ - Audio pcm_s161e at 48000hz) using 2010 MacBook Pro with 345gb free on internal with 8gb of RAM and 380gb on Seagate external where files are located.
Any advice would be greatly appreciate. Oh yeah, happy new year....!

With all the updateing of stuff can you confirm which you changed.

Need Help with Skipping Audio in Slideshows

I'm trying to burn a simple slideshow with iDVD of about 80 pictures, with an overlay .mp3 playing. I made the slideshow, and during the preview, the audio plays fine. But after I burned it, the mp3 skips slightly while the pictures change.
I initially thought the pix were too big, so I scaled them down from 400 to about 150 KB. But the second one had the same problem.
Is there anything I can do to fix this? It seems like what might be causing it is the page flip transition between pix. Is there any way I can keep the transition and get rid of the skipping? Thanks so much for the help.
I'm trying to finish this project ASAP, so thanks for the urgent response with any suggestions.
MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.6)

The disk image with DVD Player worked flawlessly.
That's what to expect from a burned DVD.
This just keeps getting more weird.
Not to me now that you're providing more info.
Two items of interest:
1.) I then took the DVD to another player in my house and it worked great.
Not all players handle recordable DVDs very well. Especially if they're older than a couple of years. I've had the worst permormance from Toshiba.
2.) The DVDs are DVD-R, Memorex.
TDK and Memorex have BAD track records here.
I recommend a disk image burned to Verbatim DVD-R at 4X or slower using Toast or Disk Utility.
David Pogue also recommends Verbatim on page 356 of his latest book:
iMovie HD & iDVD 6: The Missing Manual
Quoting David: "Cheaper brands don't use the same amount of organic dyes and are more likely to suffer premature deaths."

Needing help with crashing PhotoShop after Yosemite OS Update

I updated to the new Yosemite OS and was using PhotoShop CS5.1, and now the program crashes after trying to open more than one photo at a time. I have cleared all settings and updated everything I can update. I can't revert back to my old OS because it wasn't backed up before doing so. Is there a solution to this?

Chris, I was not able to help with this Yosemite CS3 problem, but I did ask for a crash report. If you have time can you go over it?

Need help with a problem after cloning my HD....

I recently cloned my HD to a backup drive. I did an erase and install of Tiger on my original drive. I recently cloned everything back onto my original drive from my backup drive. Now when I go to boot up on my original drive, for the first time ever I must type a Username and Password to log on to the computer. Trouble with this is, I tried my username and password and it would not work. I double, triple, quadruple checked my spelling and tried different combinations just in case i was being stupid, NOPE. It won't let me log on to my main HD. Can anyone help with this?

Let me get this straight. You did
1: Cloned your original boot drive to a external - not a problem
(did you boot from the clone to check it out?, did you use cloning software or???)
2: You erased your original boot drive - ok no problem.
3: You then installed Tiger on your original boot drive - ok no problem there
4: But you cloned from your clone back onto your original, freshly installed Tiger drive?
Why did you do this?
Cloning copies the whole drive, all the little hidden stuff, copy protection etc.
That's why it's called a clone.
Did you mean to say you copied certain folders/files from the clone onto the new Tiger install on your original boot drive?
What folders/files was these?
You need to copy the contents of certain folders inside your User folder, not the folders themselves.
What software did you use to clone with?

HT1349 Hi...need help to activate 3GS after upgrading ios from 4.1.0 to 6.0.1

Hi...I have a 3GS and after upgrading the ios i am unable to activate the iPhone..its repeatedly giving the same error as "Your iPhone could not be activated because the actuvation server is temporarily unavailable.Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it. If this problem persists, contact Apple Support at apple.com/support."
I have tried the numbers and they are re-directing me again to the website for support.
Pls assist.
~Akash

Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Where did you acquire this iPhone?
What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?

Need help with a question on upgrading my Adobe After Effects CS5

Hey guys I am wondering if there is a way to upgrade from CS5 to CC. Need to know if that is possible, if it is then how much is it and how do I do it?

Need help with Apps misbehaving and upgrading the MacOS: The all-in-one post. ;)

Hi there,
So, I've been browsing the SL and Mavericks forums for the last days but although I have fetched some useful tips and answers, still need some help. Let me put it diary-style so I can be more concise ;)
Here's my current system profile:
iMac 27" (aluminium back- if I'm no wrong, from around late 2009-mid 2010)
MacOS 10.6.1 Never updated.
3.06 Ghz Intel Core2 Duo
4Gb RAM
LaCie Big Disk via FireWire 800
Internet access via Ethernet port (cable)
And here's The Issues Log:
– Day one: First ever Kernel Panic. Restart. Nothing (apparently) wrong.
– 3 weeks elapsed: Second Kernel Panic. Same. iMac restarts fine. Apps fine. No missing files. No misbehaviour experiences.
– After a month or so: One morning, Skype decides on its own to stop launching. The night before, I chatted with one of my clients, fine as always, but at the next day, nothing. Computer is usually shut off for the night. And so it was that night. Updated Skype and also did all the guest account trick / repaired permissions / repair ACLs. Nothing worked. Overwrote the Skype app with a former functioning version I have in an MacOS 10.5 system. Didn't work. Now I have to chat on the MacOS 10.5 computer. No good.
– 15 days ago or so: After realising that I no longer have my HP1515n printer (it ran out of inks and thrashed it. It costs more to refill than to buy a new one), I deleted the printer from the printers list in the System Prefs Pane.
– Last week: Acrobat (CS4) won't launch a PDF file and freezes. Spinning beach ball. Force quit and try opening the PDF file again. Freezes again. And again. And again. With that file and every other PDF.
Photoshop CS5 fails to open or crashes when attempting to open any jpg or tiff file. InDesign and Illustrator CS5 are frozen and had to force quit both. MacOS 10.5
Restart the iMac thinking it is just a "common" bad day and hoping everything will be alright after the restart, but nope.
Not only the CS5 stops working; MSOffice stops working too. Spinning beach ball. Begin to suspect of the deletion of the printer, however, I also deleted the same printer in the above mentioned 10.5 system and I'm not experiencing anything strange. Reinstalled the HP drivers but nothing remarkable happens.
Then, try to uninstall CS5, CS4, Office, etc. Try to reinstall Acrobat CS4 and the CS5 apps. Reinstall Office. Nothing. Just Outlook works.
Since I had to desperately meet deadlines, convinced a colleague to come over to the studio and -I know, I know- allowed me to install a copy of CS6. It seems to work fine, except for Acrobat, which randomly freezes/hangs/works and Photoshop, which works fine unless you want to open a layered file containing text layers or if you want to type text on a normal file, because it freezes as soon as the Text Tool is pressed in the toolbar, of course, spinning beach ball again.
Well, Illustrator CS6 sometimes shows a strange black thin frame overlaid on the interface but goes away by switching to another workspace and then back to the current. InDesign CS6 seems to be fine and making PDFs as expected. However, as I said before, it is pure luck if Acrobat accepts to open the file or even if it launches. Spinning beach ball when freezing/hanging.
As a method for eliminating possible culprits, did a clean up of the Suitcase Fusion database, removed duplicate and a few (less than 10) corrupted fonts.
Removed completely MSOffice reinstalled and updated. Nothing. Now I neither have MSoffice running.
I am no rookie but I can't even imagine what can cause such amount of misbehaviour, (kernel panics have something to do? malware? lack of system updates? MacHD is damaged?) so I'm thinking of a few scenarios:
Backing up my projects and user folder –anything else to backup? (In fact I've already done that)– and:
1. Do a clean install. Not sure if it will be best to completely erase the whole drive or if a standard reinstallation will be enough.
2. Take the machine to a Genius Bar to see if there's anything that can be done without major OS messes.
3. Erase the drive and go through the Mavericks upgrading (SL to Ln to MLn to Mavcks), although not sure if this upgrade is worth yet.
4. Replace HD for a brand new one and either step 1 or 3.
5. As a complement, I'm thinking of adding more RAM.
Well. It is really the first time I don't know what to do. I have work to do and would not want to face a week away from my main computer and since most of the files are CS5-6 and hence, can't move to my wife's iMac...
Apologies if this post feels too long, but I will truly appreciate any kind of input and advice on one of more of the issues mentioned in this post.
And if it fits best in any other forum, please also let me know.
Cheers and thanks in advantage.

Need help with Conditional Audio

Hello again! So early on into a course, after a couple intro slides, I have a sorting slide to direct users to other parts of a course (self-led learning in a way). However, I have an audio narration that plays on entry to that slide (not slide audio, it plays via advanced actions). I'm trying to figure out a way so that once they have viewed that slide once and heard that audio the first time, any time they get sent back to this sorting slide, they don't hear the audio again. How might this be done?
What I have already tried: I've tried two things, first I set up a variable called Sort_Audio. On exit of the slide previous, Sort_Audio would be assigned a value of 10. On entry to the sorting slide, an advanced action would check if Sort_Audio is equal to 10. If it is, it plays audio (and clears another variable that is unrelated, I just needed to do both things, so I combined them). I have On Exit from the sorting slide an advanced action that resets Sort_Audio to 0 so that when a user gets sent back to that sorting slide, it would theoretically not star the audio. Problem with this in the first place is for some reason it won't even play the audio the first time.
The other thing I tried was quite similar, but instead of assigning values to slides I tried cpInfoLastSlideViewed and equalled it to the name of the previous slide, as well as doing the same thing for cpInfoPreviousSlide. Neither seemed to work.
Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

The problem is resolved. Using TTS, the audio went onto the slide. I had not removed it from the slide audio so that the Advanced Action could work. Lieve, I got it to work by being extra careful to get each step correct and complete and assuring that the slide didn't have audio attached to it. Rod, I could not get the test project to work with audio attached to a smart shape. I believe it is because I am not controlling visibility of the smart shape--a logic test for another project and another day.
Here is what I finally got to work:
I created a project to get the procedure working before I put it into the big project. Here is a description of the test project.
Slide one has a smart shape (not used as a button) and a button which goes to the next slide. There is slide audio that plays when the slide is viewed.
Slide two has a smart shape that is used as a button to go back to slide one.
First Test with simple Advanced Action (no increment of variable):
Variable used is called "v_visit"
Conditional advanced action is called "checker"
If v_visit is equal to 0
Then Play Audio "text to audio X" (created with TTS. I also tested it with recorded voice in a second test, "RecordingX.wav")Assign v_visit with 1
Else Continue
Slide one, on enter, execute Advanced Action "checker"
on exit, No Action
Second Test with different Advanced Action (variable increments):
Variable called "v_counter"
Advanced Action (conditional) called "menuAudioChecker"
First condition ("setCounter")
If 1 is equal to 1
Then Expression v_counter = v_counter + 1
(Else not used)
Second condition ("checkCounter")
If v_counter is equal to 1
Then Play Audio "Text to AudioX" or "RecordingX.wav"
(Else not used)
Slide one, On Enter Execute Advanced Action "menuAudioChecker"
On Exit, No Action
On this "Second Test" I added a smart shape to display the contents of v_counter and it counts as expected. As Lieve has indicated in other posts, if one desired a different audio to play based on the value of v_counter this would allow that to happen. In my case in the production project I could play audio associated with section 6 when they return to the menu after completing section 6.
Thank you for patiently working with me to resolve this issue (mostly due to my own oversights).
Most importantly, thank you for the excellent Advanced Action model to use for the project.

Need help with error message after failed iSync: Leopard and Palm OS

I recently upgraded to a new computer which came with Leopard installed. In my old computer, Tiger OS, all was well when syncing to my Palm device.
I tried going from handheld to desktop with slow synch turned on in iSync and now I get this message re: failure--
"iSync Conduit starting 9/6/08 8:21:12 AM
Timeout waiting for Sync Engine, exiting 9/6/08 8:27:31 AM
iSync Conduit synchronization failed
“iSync Conduit” failed (error = #-2)"
Any ideas--please help.

I wish you success.
I have an older Palm, the Zire. Once I got the most recent Palm software and chose, at least for now, to use iSync, I haven't noticed any problems.
Since I haven't used the "T" family of Palms, I can only guess that the process is much the same as with the Zire. You can disable the MAc syncing, move your currently disabled conduits back into Palm syncing, reinstall what Palm lists as your most recent software (and make sure all of your calendar and contacts info is just as you want it), do a sync through the HotSync Manager (ignoring iCal). I'd do a restart just to clear the system. It appears there is a warning note on resetting the iSync history, so you might not want to do that but just manually clean up any inconsistencies in iCal before you try once again.
[I actually wanted to just accept my Palm calendar so trashed my iCal calendar after some questionable syncs, but you can do an export to save the iCal calendar before you wipe it out.]
But my impression is that to get pass the messages you initially wrote up, you'll have to ask the Palm discussions folks for help. They are very helpful.

Hi I need help with extracting audio.

Quick question, I have this music track that is basicaly a repeating beat with guitar riffs that play on top. Is there any way, using Soundbooth, that I can extract the two elements (Beat/Guitar) into seperate tracks so that I could edit them seperatly?
Thanks
John

It will definitely be difficult with Soundbooth, and depending on the source file, most other applications as well. Soundbooth doesn't have a Center Channel Extraction tool like Audition, so your options would be to use a different tool in an unexpected manner, or to perform some time-consuming manual extraction.
If the file is such that the beat exists on one channel and the guitar on the other, select File > Export > Channels to Mono Files. This is probably not the case, unless it's an old Dylan or Beatles recording.
Second, I might try selecting one loop of the beat with no guitar, and capturing this as a Noise Print. (Find this under Tasks > Clean Up Audio.) Once captured, select the entire file and apply a noise reduction. There is a (very) slight possibility this process will isolate the guitar. after saving the guitar as a new file, undo the noise reduction so you have your original file again, open the guitar file and capture the entire thing as a noise print, and apply this to the original file in Noise Reduction. Ideally, you would be left with the beat. Place these two files on separate tracks in Multitrack and you might get something that resembles the original track, but that allows you to modify levels or place effects on the beat and guitar separately.
Now, odds are very high that this just won't work, either. The Noise Reduction tool is not a scalpel for removing sounds, but is a fuzzy and dynamic tool to remove audio data that doesn't appear to belong.
You could also go back to your original file, open Soundbooths Spectral Frequency view be selecting Tasks > Remove a Sound, then use the lasso tool to painstakingly select the orange and yellow areas that represent the guitar parts, cut this selection and paste it into a new file of the same duration. When layered in multitrack, they would sound identical to the original file, but you'd have some control over the beat and the guitar part. This however, is still not ideal since any frequencies in the beat that overlapped the guitar would be moved to the guitar track. It would also be a TON of work.
So to save you time, I would highly recommend using a more advanced audio editing tool such as Audition. If you're using Windows, you can download a free 30-day trial at adobe.com. Using the center channel extractor effect, you can zero in on where the guitar part is panned in the stereo field and strip it out to a new file.
Good luck

PLEASE - Need help with system audio files

Hi guys, I'm going to try posting this one last night before throwing my hands up.
I'm having a problem with my MacBook Pro where certain audio, namely in browsers like FireFox or Safari, doesn't output.
YouTube and Google Video stream and display video content correctly, but no audio is output.
System audio such as notifications, as well as iTunes, doesn't seem to be affected.
I tried to follow the steps outlined in another post to check the output Hz setting for my midi device in the Audio MIDI Setup panel. However, this is what my panel looks like:
http://static.flickr.com/48/12917458198120c9319_od.jpg
It's simply blank, with "Output is not supported" displayed where those settings should be.
Any ideas as to the root of this problem? It's almost like I'm missing a .plist file or some other system file, maybe something that got deleted using AppZapper? That's just a wild guess from a recent Mac convert after browsing the forums
Thanks!

First off, it makes total sense that you see "Output is not supported" for you microphone. Change the "Properties For:" drop down to "Built in Output" or whatever output device you are using. You will then see the audio output format and frequencies, but on the left side it will say "Input is not supported"
Second, YouTube and Google Video don't use midi and so the Audio Midi Setup isn't really relevant to your problem at all and you should leave that alone... unless you are you a musician with a midi device setup. Perhaps this is the case, please post if it is. Otherwise you are headed down a blind alley messing with "Audio Midi Setup" to diagnose OR fix your issue.

Need help with this audio!

Hi! I recently took a video which I then put on my computer (Mac OS X) and I just want the audio from it for my iPod (it has some music on it which I can't find in the iTunes store). I've tried extracting the audio from it using iMovie, but it won't import it with sound for that. It won't play the sound with GarageBand either. It won't let me share it with QuickTime either and I'm not allowed to buy QT Pro (I'm still a teenager and my parents say no) So does anybody know how I can get the sound from my video for my iTunes library and iPod? Thank you if you can help!

Well, I have never tried to do this, but I have an idea. Keep in mind I really don't know if it will work, I am just suggesting it.
I am not sure, but I would think that Adobe Premiere would have this functionality. Obviously you aren't going to buy the whole app (few hundred bucks), but they do offer a 30-day trial, which you might be able to take advantage of.
You also might want to Google something like "extract sound from movie OSX" (or something like that).
I hope this helps!

Need help with digital audio out on qip7232

Have seen lots of posts about digital and optical outputs from the QIP 7232. I want to run a digital, stereo, 2 channel LPCM signal out to a stereo receiver. There are posts on this forum that say that both outputs are disabled by Verizin. There are other posts that suggest various settings that could be tried but none of these have been confirmed to work. I have set the output to Stereo in the regular menu. I have set the output to LPCM in the hidden menu. Still, no audio output. I do have analogue output from the stereo left and right but want to get digital. Can anyone help ? Does anyone have either the digital or optical outputs working? Thank you Jim {Edited for privacy}

toslink cable will also work with MBP.

Need Help with "recording" audio to ADAT.

This is what I'm working with. Logic 9 to Saffire Pro 14 interface to Alesis ADAT 24.
I want to "record" audio to the adat. I want to have three tracks in a single song on the ADAT, lines 1,2,3. I have outputs 1,2,3 fromt the interface running to ADAT inputs 1,2,3.
In logic I have the tracks outputs set to mono 1,2,3. the ADAT is picking up all three tracks (all three meters are showing life). However, I am getting no sound out of output 3 (and therefore it is not recording into the ADAT) and I believe that 1 and 2 are coming in as stereo. Anybody know what I am doing wrong? I need this to run our tracks live for our show tomorrow and am having the worst luck!
(p.s. the interface only has four outputs.)

The Saffire comes with a software applet (setup program) doesn't it. Maybe you have to set up the 4 individual outs there, it may be set to send only stereo out.
