Problem with m3u files and Quicktime

Hello:
I have made one update with Quicktime software (version 7.6.9 1680.9). The problem is that Quicktime player reproduces mp3 files but when I try to play m3u files the sound is very bad. It sounds like gargling.
For example: This files play ok:
http://www.telefonica.net/web2/sevarra/Sarabande.mp3
It plays ok when the previous link is introduced as URL address in Quicktime player, but the corresponding m3u files sounds like gargling
http://www.telefonica.net/web2/sevarra/list0.m3u
I think there a problem with m3u files and Quicktime.
Tank you very much and best regards.

I have discovered that when the URL is playing (with gargling sound) if I open the A/V controls in QT menus and I move the Jog Shuttle or the Speed level then the sound becomes good.
Yes! Great catch, ttfrank. I can replicate that too.
Interesting ... if (after getting the sound working properly again) you then pause play of the m3u, and start it again, you get the gargling/dalekish sound quality back again.
Bug reporting ... there's a couple of ways you can go about doing this. You can use the QuickTime product feedback form:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/quicktime.html
... but if you want to track progress on the bug, try instead registering as an Apple Developer (for free):
http://developer.apple.com/programs/register/
... and then you'll be able to submit the bug via the Apple Bug Reporter:
http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter/
In the meantime, there's also a restricted forum available to level 4 and 5 members ("Notable New Technical Issues") where we can report this sort of thing. I'll try to get a post written up on the topic there later today.

Problems with .ARW files and auto toning

problems with .ARW files and auto toning
let me try to explain this because this has happened in past and never found a way to resolve but i lived with it
now that I have a Sony A7R the problem is more serious
Firstly i take pride it making the picture happen all in camera, i use DRO lvl 5 to get enough light, like when i'm shooting at dusk. DRO its like doing HDR but in a single file, it lightens the darks. in my camera i'm happy with results
but when I upload them to lightroom, they come out near black.
allow me to explain
lets say I import 100 images
i double check my preferences and everything is UNCHECKED when it comes to importing options, there is no auto toning, nothing.
as the images import i see a preview in the thumbnail which looks fine.
i double click on one to enlarge it, hence leave grid view.
for a brief 1 or 2 seconds, i see the full image in all its glory but than lightroom does something funny, it darkens the image
one by one as it inspects each image, if it was a DRO image it makes it too dark.
to make this clear, the image is perfect as it was in the beginning but after a few seconds lightroom for some reason thinks it needs to correct it.
how to prevent lightroom from doing this, i want the image exactly as it is, why must lightroom apply a correction>?
i think it has to do something with interpreting the raw file and lightroom applies its own algorithm.
but here is what i dont get.....before lightroom makes the change i'm able to witness the picture exactly as it was taken and want it unchanged..
now i have to tweak each file or find a profile for it which is added work.
any ideas how to prevent lightroom from ruining my images and just leave them as they were when first detected...
there are 2 phases...one is when it originally imports and they look fine
second is scanning each image and applying some kind of toning which darkens it too much.
thanks for the help

sorry thats the auto reply message from yahoo email.
i've disabled it now
thing is, there is no DRO jpg to download from the camera
its only ARW. so my understanding is when i use DRO setting, the camera makes changes to the ARW than lightroom somehow reads this from the ARW.
but then sadly reverts it to no DRO settings.
because i notice if i take normal picture in raw mode its dark but if i apply dro to it, it comes out brighter, yet when i d/l the image from camera to lightroom, which is an ARW - there are no jpgs. lightroom decides to mess it up
so in reality there is no point in using DRO because when i upload it lightroom removes it.
is there a way to tell lightroom to preserve the jpg preview as it first sees it.
its just lame, picture appears perfect...than lightroom does something, than bam, its ruined,.
what do i need to do to prevent lightroom from ruining the image? if it was good in the first place.

Error: There is a problem with the file and it cannot be copied

I've been trying to copy (and essentially move) the contents of an NTFS-formatted external HDD to my iMac's internal HDD so I can then format the external HDD to Mac OS Extended. However, when I simply try to drag and drop, I get an error during the transfer that states:
There is a problem with the file and it cannot be copied.
I tried a basic cp command in Terminal to copy all contents of the external HDD to a folder on my iMac's desktop, and found that while there were no errors, there were many individual files missing full chunks of data (ie. original file would be 4GB on my external HDD, but only 350MB on my desktop).
Any ideas on how I can successfully copy a large amount of data (approx. 170GB) from my external HDD to my internal HDD while avoiding this error, so I can ultimately format my external HDD to Mac OS Extended? ANY help is greatly appreciated.

That's not a good error to see. It indicates something is very wrong. Pulled out of an old programming header file:
ioErr = -36, /*I/O error (bummers)*/
If Apple labelled it "bummers," they had a good reason! Unfortunately, that doesn't bode well for you.
Try running Disk Utility again. Keep repairing over and over until one of two things happens: 1) Disk Utility says no repair was needed, or 2) Disk Utility reports the same error in two sequential repair sessions and is unable to repair it both times.
If you hit the second case, or if you hit the first but still can't copy files, then you've got two basic options:
= Buy a third-party disk utility or two and try them. Try TechTool as a first choice.
= Recover what files you can and write the rest off as gone.
= Send your drive to a data recovery service and hope they can extract more than you can.
Of course, none of this is necessary if you have a backup of the contents of that hard drive. (If you don't, this is your learning experience. Once bitten, twice shy, so they say.) Also, regardless of the outcome, once you've got your data or have decided it's gone, you're going to want to wipe that drive completely clean. Reformat the drive with Disk Utility, then when it's done, select the drive in Disk Utility and hit command-i. (Don't select the new volume you just created on that drive, select the drive itself. Mine looks like "232.9 GB Hitachi ..." with the volume name indented underneath.) Look for an item that says S.M.A.R.T. Status, and if it doesn't say Verified, you might as well throw out the drive. Don't trust any more data to it.
If all appears safe, you can start moving data back onto it. But, as always, make sure you have a backup of everything!

Problems with Flip4Mac WMV and QuickTime 10.1

I installed Flip4Mac WMV and when I try to listen to some audio in some sites, it starts playing and after about 1 second it starts playing again - so, I have the same thing playing with a delay. I use Mac OS X Lion 10.7.1 and QuickTime 10.1. What is happening and how to fix it? Is there any way to play videos and audio for Windows Media Player without using Flip4Mac WMV?

First use the System Preference for Flip4Mac to check to make sure your uptodate. If you are and there is still a problem you could report it on the Flip4Mac website.
Other than that, you should be able to play WMV files using VLC which is available free for the Mac from http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html

Having a problem with app files and fonts between OS

I work in a prepress department, and we are have issues with files that are coming from 10.4.11 to 10.5.8. The 10.4.11 is a power PC and the 10.5.8 is Intel. Fonts get corrupt and display as a unix file with 0 file size and application files like Quark loose there ID and come up as a document file. I think this has to do with the OS difference. Is there any way that this can be fixed???

Well we are having the the same problem with folders. Jobs that are made on a 10.4 Mac, sometimes you can't see the contents of the folder on a 10.5 Mac. And there is no pattern.
And if you take the contents out of the folder and put it loose using a 10.4 Mac, you can see it on a 10.5 Mac
Also if we put a .dfont on the end to the font using a 10.4 Mac, you can see the font on a 10.5 Mac.
This is all very strange. There are no patterns and no reason why one folder would work and the other does not. Just checking if there is something that could be causing a problem between the OS's.

Problem with manifest file and Plateau LMS

I have published a course with a quiz in SCORM 1.2 and tried
to upload to a Plateau LMS.
It seems that a "page cannot be found" message is the result
after upload and we try to launch the course. The course works
outside the LMS (when run locally on my computer).
The Plateau LMS support team tried to help, and found the
following: "There is something wrong with this manifest, though I
cannot ascertain what that is exactly. Most of the file name is in
the parameter field, which is causing the launch path to look like
this:
/content/apmm/cbcgis/mars/BRTMAIN/MARS?BRT%20Maintenance%20Template_%2020080226.htm=
Everything in the parameters field is placed after the
filename in a URLencoded querystring after the question mark that
you see above. it should look like this:
/content/apmm/cbcgis/mars/BRTMAIN/MARS BRT Maintenance
Template_ 20080226.htm"
Can anyone please help resolve this, or have any advice?
This is the first time we have tried uploading Captivate
courses to this LMS, and we have been having problems with the
manifest file in general. I have looked at all the material I can
find on publishing and the manifest file, but cannot seem to
resolve my issue.
Thanks
Warwick

Warwick,
I have had this error with an Authorware set of SCORM files
when my LMS was looking for index.htm and I had named it index.html
- you wouldn't think that would cause an error but it did. I would
be more than happy to package a Captivate file of just a few
screens that works on my LMS (which is Learn.com's Learning
Center), and send you the SCORM files to test... That could be a
start anyhow. I will send you a private msg. with my e-mail
id.

Problem with CSV file and Ostermiller library

Hello, I'm using Ostermiller library to generate file with csv format.
The problem is that this library seems to have a bug when it comes to data including the character carriage return.
For example I try to record a file with the following data:
Field1 = Text1
Field2 = This is
a long text including
carriage return
characters
Theoritically the file should looks like this:
Text1,"This is
a long text including
carriage return
characters"
But the library creates the following:
Text1, This is\ra long text including\rcarriage return\rcharacters
The \r you can see in not 0x0D but 0x5C 0x72 !!!!!!
This is not a correct CSV format and then I cannot reopen the file correctly with Excel.
Did you already see this problem with this library?
Any idea?

Even when i use ExcelCSVPrinter the text appears as -
5,1,First aid course,234,,"Boeing Everett Plant \nRoom No 108",2007-11-26,02:15:00,,04:15:00,Scheduler S.,Resourcing,,hiii abc
when I open this text in notepad. It formats properly when I open in excel as follows
5,1,First aid course,234,,"Boeing Everett Plant
Room No 108",2007-11-26,02:15:00,,04:15:00,Scheduler S.,Resourcing,,hiii abc
IS there something else that I need to do?

Problems with properties files and war files in weblogic 5.1

          I work with WebLogic 5.1 and I'm trying to deploy a web application which gets
          a properties file. If I deploy it as an expanded directory hierarchy (with the
          properties files into WEB-INF/classes) I have no problems. While deploying it
          by a .war file I get this message: "en_GB java.util.MissingResourceException:
          Can't find resource for base name Agent, locale en " (the getBundle() method is
          trying to get an english property file). What could I do? Is it really a weblogic
          5.1 bug?
          Thanks,
          David


This issue comes up repeatably. It's a real bug.
          I believe this problem was fixed in a 5.1 service pack, but I'm trying to
          find out the exact disposition of the issue. Noone seems to be complaining
          about this under 6.x, so a fix seems to have been made, the only question is
          whether or not it got back-ported to a 5.1 service pack.

Problem with .docx files and Office 2004

After the upgrade to Snow Leopard, I now am receiving a message "There is not enough memory or disk space to convert." when I try to open a Office 2007/2008 docx file. The error does not happen on all docx files, but only on files over 100kb. The same files that do not work now, all worked prior to upgrading to Snow Leopard. I am using a fully patched Office 2004 (11.5) in addition to the open XML compatibility software 1.1.1 from Microsoft. I have removed all error and duplicate fonts and repaired disk permissions.
I have looked on both Apple and Microsoft for an answer, but nothing except Microsoft claiming Office 2008 will work seamlessly with Snow Leopard.

I just came across this problem too. Very frustrating. I just got this new MacBook Pro last week (so I'm using Snow Leopard too). I installed Office 2004, updated it to 11.5, and installed the open XML conversion software, but no dice. I absolutely should have plenty of memory and disk space to do any docx conversion.
Also, I'm only trying to convert a 20KB docx file, so large file size isn't an issue here. And my copy of Office 2004 is totally legit, in case that's a question.
I really need to be able to open docx files for work, so this is a real problem for me. Help me, Apple-wan Kenobi!

Is there a problem with the itunes and quick time download pages or is it my internet.

Is there a problem with the itunes and quicktime download pages or is it just my internet.

Some more developments ... the issue appears to be browser-specific. I can't see the download controls at the moment in either IE 8 (I'll get your message) or Safari for Windows 5.0.5 (I'll just get the blank box). But I can see the download controls in Firefox 4 and Chrome (whatever version I have of that).
So it might be worth installing Firefox and seeing if you can get the downloads via that:

Problem with m3u playlists where sme files have special characters

This may be an OS X question but it only comes up inside iTunes, so hopefully someone here can help me.
I have brought over from my old (Windows) computer a large set of mp3 files, with m3u files for each album. In many cases, the file name contained European accented characters, such as "Gété" or "Köln". When I pull the m3u file into iTunes, it simply ignores these entries!
I have no problem playing these files or putting them in new playlists. But this means that I have now to look manually at each m3u and see if it needs fixing. If I knew what the correct encoding needs to be then I can easily write a Python script to fix the m3u's, or even, if necessary, rename the files. But so far I haven't figured out what would work.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

I am having the exact problem. Did you ever find a solution?

Any suggestions that preserves a simple workflow much appreciated.
