Permissions problems with sound track pro and garage band

I am having a problem with the loops and sounds in Garageband and SoundTrack Pro. When I attempt to use a sound in garage band, I get an error "an eror occurred result code = -5000 File = Garageband-Temp-54E281E". When I do a search there are about 58 separate folders with loops or effects in them. If I isolate the one I want to use and change the permissions of the folder to everyone read and write I can use the sound, but I don't want to manually change the permissions for 58 seperate folders. I ran repair permissions using disk utility but that did not fix it. Any suggestions, I have a lab of 22 imacs, if it was just one I would just fix the permissions on it but for 22 separate machines, I would like some automation. Thanks in advance for your help.

I'll also add that I'm pretty sure I used this microphone along with the iMic USB a few years ago when I had my 'quicksilver' Mac G4 and it worked with that machine. As noted above, I've tried it with both a 2 channel and both the mono channel settings in Garage Band; but I am using a 1/4" to 1/8" jack adapter in order to plug into the iMic's 1/8" receptacle. The adapter is stereo to stereo, meaning it has both contacts for r & l. That shouldn't make a difference should it? In my experience if you are using mono equipment (like a single microphone) the sound will still be delivered through one of the two channels.

After having yet another problem with my MacBook Pro and having to wipe the drive, I am now unable to sync my iPhones etc without erasing all the music on them. Is there a way around this? I have no other library!

iTunes is a mess! It couldn't find it's own libraries and I was forced to create a new one. Now I don't know where my music is or if any's missing.

How crap is that?
It's not crap at all.
It's not that simple. For example, I've 3500 songs on my MacBook but don't want them all on my phone, so I have to manually select each song again???
There has to be a solution.
Why not simply make a playlist with the songs you want on the iPhone?
and maintain a current backup of your computer.

I am having problems with my macbook pro and the dock. About every fourth time I start the computer, the dock flashes on and off, then goes completely off and all I get is the spinning ball with brief moments of the cursor. But the computer locks up.

Do you have Parallels installed by any chance? There is a known problem that causes symptoms similar to this. You do not need to actually be running Parallels at the time and nothing in ActivityMonitor would point to Parallels. An update corrects the problem:

I have a problem with my macbook pro. A band about an inch

I have a problem with my macbook pro. A band of varied colors about an inch & a half wide running the length of my screen vertically suddenly appeared. What is wrong with my Mac?

This is either a graphics processor issue or a display issue. I highly suspect the latter. Either way, it is a hardware issue for which no online troubleshoot exists.
To test, however, the next time it occurs, take a screen shot. If the distortion appears on your screenshot, then the problem is with your graphics processor and you to get your logic board replaced. If the distortion does not appear on the screenshot, then the issue is with your display and you need to get your display replaced.
Best of luck.

Logic Pro (and Garage Band) guitar bug.

This is a rather irritating bug that happens constantly on my set up. I can play guitar for a couple of minutes then the sound cuts out but then plays after about a three second delay. This happens in both Logic Pro 9 and Garage band but not in Ableton Live or other apps.
At first I thought it was an interface problem (UA-101) till everything worked without a hitch in Ableton Live. The interface lights also show no delay. I've got a new MacBook pro with Leopard on it with latest versions of Logic and Garage band.
Anyone else seen this before or know of others that have had this problem. Any suggestions of what I could do to fix it?

Well I dont get this but I use Apogee Duet, so there could be the difference. Process buffer range could make some difference, set it to low in Preferences/Audio. The other obvious thing is to check the buffer size in preferences is set as low as possible.

Ongoing problems with newest Mac Pro and CS4

Hi all,
I've just switched from a Final Cut Pro editorial house to a new company that bases production around the Adobe Production Suite using Premiere Pro CS4 for all our editing needs. From what I understand about this company (and this workstation) is that Premiere Pro CS4 has been buggy on this machine and this machine only. I find this strange as it is one of the newer high end mac systems available right now and is more than capable of crushing most video that will be put into it.
In brief a summary of the problems include;
1.) Final exports rarely work, no matter the codec, bit rate, size, duration, etc.
2.) If AME CS4 does manage to successfully export a piece it will generally have random black frames right at every cut starting about halfway through the piece.
3.) Even so much as switching sequences within a project manages to bog the system down and crash it, thus making me have to force quit the program and occasionally restart the machine.
4.) After rendering the work area the machine suddenly becomes unresponsive and thus causes another crash/force quit scenario.
5.) Certain audio tracks will play for about 2min and 30seconds and then mysteriously go silent, while a clear and present waveform is able to be seen (however occasionally premiere will cut this part of the clip off!)
I will post the hardware and software specs below but I feel it is necessary to detail why I find these problems to be extremely peculiar.
Firstly the projects we have are generally shot on the 5D MkII. I understand CS5 has the ability to play these clips back through it's mercury playback system (after it's own internal conform) at real-time and allow you to edit as if it had been transcoded traditionally. We are planning on obtaining a copy of CS5 in the near future but I am currently worried if these problems may be associated to faulty hardware.
Upon my arrival I formatted every drive and did a clean install of OSX Leopard 10.6.5 as well as a fresh install of Adobe Production Premium CS4 (updated to most recent release). This leaves out any possibility of a plug-in such as the red giant filters or sapphire filters interfering with the rendering and exporting process. Nothing seems to work. Even throwing an uncompressed 8-bit clip into AME CS4 manages to crash it.
A coworker of mine had two great ideas on the problem the other day for me to test out. The first being that it could be a bad piece of ram. I figure this could be a possibility as I don't know the history of this machine and I noticed all the RAM slots are full of 1gig sticks (and two 4gig sticks) so there could be a bad one in the bunch. I went through the process of elimination leaving one stick in at a time and testing an export (extremely time consuming) and every time it failed. His second idea was to take my project file and associated media to the creative directors computer which happens to be a two year old Mac Pro running CS4 (on OSX Leopard). He has several plug-ins installed along with tons of additional applications etc etc. Sure enough I loaded up my project file consisting of a bunch of 5D MkII footage and it played back perfectly, exported perfectly, tabbed through sequences perfectly, and did everything it should!
My question is why. Why would his older machine work with this footage on the same version of Premiere Pro CS4 and not my newer, faster, shinier editing machine? I've done everything I can to test any theory I've come up with both from my own experience as well as through internet research. Deleted PList, emptied RAM, emptied Cache, reformat and reinstall, swap RAM around, tested different hard drives, etc. The problem is not isolated strictly to the H.264 files the 5D MkII produces either, as even the uncompressed 8-bit files I've brought in won't play nicely with the system either. It's such a bummer that my first experience with Premiere Pro had to be on a machine that has these horrible quirks but I feel it has a lot to bring to the table over Final Cut Pro and I would love to find a solution to this problem so I can get back to cutting!!
Thank you in advance for all of your help!

The move from FCP to PP is a good one, however, it's only half way there.
Next, move to a Windows 7 64 based machine using an i7 950 and 12 GB RAM at a minimum (with a GTX 460 or better as a seriously considered option), and then upgrade to CS5.
Chances are more than excellent that doing will resolve all your issues.

Cursor problems with new mac pro and cs4

I am having a major problem with my cursor in photoshop cs4 extended.
any tool i select as soon as i touch it to the canvas the tool turns to a black mac arrow cursor.
this is extremely annoying and makes brushing anything almost impossible as i can't see the edge of my brush because it turns to an arrow as i try to use it. (it starts out at the correct size before i actually brush with it)
i have my brush set as normal and precise tools are set but this problem happens with any brush and tool setting
I have tried turning off Open GL advanced redraw, all that.
I have the stock nvidia gt 120 - is it a video card problem? should i have gotten the ati 4870?
should i reinstall cs4?
my system is a base octo 2.26 with 6 GB ram - no scratch disk setup yet - waiting on the drives and more ram to come.
thanks all...

um...not to detract from the other users problem but mine has nothing to do with displacement of the cursor
i have uninstalled CS4 suite, reinstalled it, repaired permissions and deleted prefs.
I am still getting the arrow whenever I click the cursor with any tool to the canvas.
I am a pro p-shop retoucher - this is making CS4 essentially UNUSABLE - i will only be able to use CS3 and all this after I spent 600 for the "upgrade"?
I have to teach at a retouching seminar soon and i will have a very poor working knowledge of CS4 as a result
I can't find any similar complaints at nvidias site or on here
any help is still needed!

Display Problem with my Mac Pro and LG Flatron Wide Monitor in Mountain Lion

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, my Mac Pro has display problems with my LG Flatron display. The image is displayed with a black bar on the right and on the bottom. And the left side of the content is not visible. I tried every resolution available in the Display System Preferences, they are different in terms of how big the black bars are, and what part is not visible, but none of them are correct. I held down the option key to try to detect displays or switch to resolutions that are not normally available. When I restart the image is lined up with the display, but if the display ever goes to sleep or gets turned off, the image reverts to being off center, and the only way I can get it back is to restart... The interesting thing is that this monitor works fine with the same machine if I reboot using BootCamp into Windows 7. The Monitor also works fine, connecting the same connector to a Mac Mini, although that mac mini is running 10.6 and not Mountain Lion. I've reset the SMC and restarted countless times, I don't see any other levers to pull or things to try...

That card is for a PC it may not give you Startup and Option-Boot screens.
The 7950 "Mac Edition" card has a very distinctive look:

Rights problem with Acrobat X pro and Windows 8.1

We have bought a CS6 creative suite, including acrobat X. If we use the acrobat X in cooperation with windows 8.1, then we cannot delete or amend files without needing to save them under another name ....
If we install the try out of acrobat XI, then we don't have these problems ....
Message was edited by: WouterGS

Hello,
Yes we have done all updates that were still pending.
After a few day, the acrobat XI gives the same problems ... so I uninstalled the XI try-out and installed the bought X pro version again .... also here all updates have been done ...We really don't know how to solve this ..
We had the same configuration on a Windows XP and a Windows 7 pc, and there all went without these issues.
I also have another Laptop with the same configuration Windows 8.1 + XI pro, and there we also don't have the issue ....

Problems with Yosemite macbook pro and airdrop

I have many problems of comunication with my macbook pro my13 and iphone 6 when i used airdrop for sending file from iphone to mac. In the iphone i do not see the mac icon bat in mac i see the iphone. i can send only from mac to iphone .
Thanks a lot

If i had to guess, I would say prosessor stress is to blame. When you are running a virtual machine, it borrows resources from the host to run the guest OS. The CPU, however, is prioritized Host first, then guest second. With a 27" display connected via Display Port. that is a larger strain on the processor. Honestly, on my 23" iMac, I see a WORLD of difference between the speed of the host and the speed of the guest. That is just something you live with on virtual machines, nothing compares to hardware. I'm sorry I dont have a better answer, but that is all I have.

Setup Problems With Fast Track Pro

Hey, to anyone reading this, if there is anyone. I'm new to forum boards and I kind of need some assistance, (of course). I recently, (a month ago?), purchased Audition CS6 and also purchased an M-Audio Fast Track Pro. I'm trying to record vocals on a laptop. I tried to set this up on my own and with manual assistance and I have made little to no progress. Main issue is I only hear recordings/audio through the left headphone. If someone could, for lack of a better term, baby-step me into setting this up, I'd appreciate it.

Your set-up for the Fast Track is correct.
You are only recording a single channel and you are presumably plugging in the mic into input 1 on the Fast Track. You are then arming Audition to record a STEREO track, not a MONO track, thus you are only hearing the left channel because you only recorded the left channel. When recording a single microphone on the Fast Track, have Audition record only a MONO track. To record a MONO waveform, open Audition and in the upper lefthand corner click on Waveform. A window will open called New Audio File. You will see different parameters to be selected. Audition defaults to STEREO channels. Change this to MONO and hit OK. You have now armed Audition to record a MONO file.
If you have already recorded a take that you like, but wish it to be MONO rather than STEREO, then you can open that track in Edit View. You should see that your waveform has two tracks, with your recording on the Left (top) section and nothing on the Right (bottom) section. Go up to the Menu Bar at the top of the window, select Edit, then in the Edit Menu select Convert Sample. In the Convert Sample Type window, you will see a Presets dropdown menu at the top. Open that and select Convert to Mono (Average). Now, before you click on OK you must go to the Channels section in the middle of the window and click on the little white triangle next to Advanced. You will see percentages for Left and Right. Make the Left 100% and the Right 0%. Then click OK at the bottom of the window and your waveform will now be a MONO waveform.

Are you having problems with Windows XP Pro and Airport Utility Updates?

I was having problems with my wireless laptop setting up my Bonjour Printer. I checked to make sure I had downloaded the latest updates to Airport Utility and Bonjour. Check. After doing this I noticed I couldn't see my Airport Extreme through the Airport Utility. After much frustration and bringing my entire network crashing down around me, I got help from a knowledgeable guy from Cox Cable in San Diego. He helped me get my trusty iMac Power PC online. It saw my Airport Extreme but no answers were forthcoming in any forums about my XP issues. Here is what finally solved my problem. I uninstalled all Airport Utility and Bonjour Programs. I then went back to Airport Utility 5.3.1 for Windows. It installs Bonjour Printer services with this download. Everything is working perfectly again. I have my Canon Pixma MP500 connected to the USB port on my AEBS and Bonjour walked right through the setup process. I suggest that if this works for you, turn off all Airport Utility and AEBS firmware updates until you see that whatever issue Apple created with these updates gets fixed.

Well... it worked! :D
I'm pretty sure the extra 512 memory stick was the problem, that would explain why it was being inconsistent with its type of failures before. I'm going to reinstall it later and run memtest86 and try and see if i can get it to work at all somehow without causing problems, cuz 1.5 was already low enough...
DryHeat, yeah it was with SP2 but I got it installed now so no worries
Thanks a lot!

Having problems with Logitech Vision Pro and AIM and I chat

Can't believe it can be this hard I'm trying to install a Logitech Vension Pro web cam and make with work with AIM via Ichat. I've got the camera to work in some applications so it does work. After many hours on line I decided that I needed to down load the new version of Ichat. But when I tried to install this I get the following error message: Cannot install Ichat Update on this volume. This volume does not meet the requirements for this update. Can some please give me an idea of what I need to do????
Thanks
Myrnarafa

Glen,
Thanks for the reply. The problem is that the Logitech Web Cam will not work in the AIMs program. I have it linked to the Ichat program but when I try to do a video chat there is nothing in the bottom of the chat window about video or audi. On my Windows PC, when you initate a chat window with someone you see on the bottom of the chat window a link to start a vidoe chat or an audio chat.
But there is nothing there on the MAC/AIM/Ichat window. I can type text and that works fine. The camera seems to work in other application and Microphone seems to work if you look in System Preferances/Sounds. The WebCam does not show up by name in the AboutThisMac/MoreInfo/USB but it does work in someother applications. So the problem is getting it to work in IChat and AIMS. Any suggestions would be greatly appreacated.

Problem with Acroabt X Pro and Terminal Server 2008r2

I have deployed Acrobat x Pro on a 2008 R2 Terminal Server. Everything was going great but a while back I had to reapir the OS and re-install Acrobat and a few other Programs because of a minor virus. I have confirmed everything is running fine and that the virsu is gone. However, since then users prefernces and settings have not loaded up when they open up acrobat. The pfx file is still there for all users it is simply not loading along with the rest of thier prefernces. Has anybody seen this before and does anybody have a fix for it?
Message was edited by: Skywalker32

Hi Skywalker32,
I think Sabian is on the right track, well other than his nomenclature being incorrect. The way Acrobat/Reader works is the list of digital ID files are store in the registry like in the example above (except you'd be looking for 10.0 in the path and either Adobe Acrobat for your Acrobat users or Acrobat Reader for the Reader users).
So with that in mind, are you using a GPO to push the individual PFX files and are you using the Adobe Installation Wizard to customize the application (Acrobat or Reader) installs? I'm just trying to get a handle on what's in play here. Also, I thought that maybe the digital ID file location could be set as a lockable preference in the HKLM portion of the registry, but they can't so if that's what you are trying to do via the installation wizard that could be a problem (not that I think you are, I'm just taking a shot in the dark here).
Thanks,
Steve
