Projects doing very weird things

This has really been driving me nuts.
I'm on Mac 10.8.5. Just recently updated to CC 2014 v8.
I've been working on several projects lately, and very weird things are happening every time I open a project. Usually when you save and exit a project, when you reopen it, it will open to the same sequence you were last working on, but for some reason every time I open it will load a random sequence I hadn't worked on in a long time. Sometimes when I open, the project will load slowly indexing and conforming and generating peak files. After it thinking for 5 minutes, I go to play my sequence that was fine yesterday and now some audio tracks that are still in the timeline no longer contain any audio. When I match frame, the audio clip appears in source, but has no waveform and will not play any audio. Some audio tracks do not have waveforms but DO play audio, and when I match frame on those, the clip comes up and plays audio but shows no waveform.
Restarted computer and now all the audio loads fine, but thumbnails for all video aren't showing.
The other day I had a similar situation with VIDEO. Clips were randomly "pending" or "offline" and I would 'link' them, but it would remain offline or pending. Eventually it fixed itself somehow.
I'm having a hell of a time here. This is really holding me back from my work. I'm not really sure how to troubleshoot this as it is different everytime.
I'm working from an external harddrive that is brand new, and shouldn't be having any permissions issues...
Any insight would be appreciated!

Some trouble shooting:
Open Premiere while holding down shift+alt until welcome screen then
Clear out Media Cache database and remove remaining files in that folder manually.
See if that will help.

  • Audio missing, doing very weird things

    I am nearly finished with a project in iMovie 11 and several sections of audio are not playing properly, for no reason.  The original audio from the clips - some parts that I silenced (set to zero) are playing and parts I want to hear are not. Some sound effects that previously worked fine I am not hearing. I had problems with files showing up corrupt but I checked and there are currently no corrupt files. On one playback of a section, both the added music file was playing and the original audio (that I had set to zero) was playing as well.  Then, playing back the same section later, I couldn't hear either of them. There's no apparent reason why it's acting up like this.

  • My Iphone 5 does this weird thing where it just freezes, some random vertical lines show up, and shuts off. Does anyone know what the cause of this is?

    Backup and restore your software via iTunes. If the problem continues, restore as a NEW device. If this solves it, that means there is some corruption in your backup file, or maybe it's one of your apps causing the trouble. If the problem is still there, you should take it to the Genius Bar at an Apple Store for evaluation.

  • MacBook won't turn on 98% of the time, help! Very weird things happening!

    Hi there, any advice you have for me would me much appreciated. What happened with my Macbook is all very strange.
    So, the morning before last, I was on my Macbook (which I bought in 2006 so it's on the older side, but otherwise worked great) and it was running low on battery. I was late for work so didn't plug it in before leaving. I left it open. However I have no roomates, pets, etc.
    When I get home that evening, I plugged in the powercord and it wouldn't turn on. After trying a million different things, like taking the battery out, reseting the PRAM, etc, there were a few times where I got it to turn on, went through the log on screen, and was able to use my computer like normal for about 5 minutes or so, and then it would just shut off.
    There were also many times when I would pres the power button and the screen would flash like it was about to turn on, and then it would make the noise that the computer makes when you're typically on 0% battery and it shuts down. Later in the night, when the computer was closed but plugged into the power outlet, it was by itself (meaning I wasn't pressing anything) making the noise that it was restarting. It made that noise about every 30 seconds for a few minutes. Weird.
    It was also doing inconsistent things re: the sleep light. At times it was on, including when the computer was closed, and sometimes it would go from on to off. Also, the battery/charing was doing weird things. The few times I was able to get past the log in screen it showed that it was at 0%, even though the light on the adapter was green and it had been plugged in for a long time. Another time the battery icon had an X through it. I have 2 different batteries and neither one of them seemed to make a difference.
    Also, yesterday I brought my computer into the Apple store and they put in a battery that was charged and it didn't seem to make a difference either. One more weird thing: when I did get the computer on in the spotlight bar it said it was indexing??
    Anyways, I'm just confused/upset, etc. because I literally did nothing to the computer. I didn't drop it/spill on it, etc. I'm also frustrated because the guy at the genius bar litteraly only spent like 5 minutes looking at before he said i was SOL. He said it was the "main board" that was the problem. One of the things like I'm just confused by is if the main board really does need to be replaced, then how was I able to get the computer on and working those few times???
    Sorrry this is so long, any help would be awesome!! I just don't have the money to buy a new computer, and I'm not sure it will be worth it for me to pay $300 to have it fixed when my computer's already pretty old and other things haven't been working for awhile (like my disc drive, camera). THANK YOU!!!

    EmadJamal,
    the battery won’t melt because of long connection to the AC charger, although that has the potential of reducing the battery’s life.
    Do you have access to a second 60 W AC charger to test with your MacBook Pro, or access to a second 13-inch MacBook Pro against which your AC charger could be tested?

  • Mail is suddenly doing really weird things

    Hi, I am starting to have my MAIL program acting very strange.  For one thing, it keeps shutting down for no reason. Either in the process of reading or responding to an email, just sitting idle, or in the process of downloading new mail.  I have read on forums about deleting all 3rd party plug ins (I didn't have any), deleting "things to do" in iCal (again, I lead a boring life so nothing there), relaunching (about a dozen times a day now) and just about everything else suggested short of a complete reset which I am afraid to do as I can't lose any of the emails I have in the storage. I currenty have about 20GB of free space still (and have for years). I have run Onyx and ran permission fixes gallore.  It still shuts down for no apparent reason.
    Now here are some other things it is doing since this started about a month ago.  When I close out the program from the tool bar (Quit Mail), the window closes out but the MAIL remains in the tool bar with a greyed out "QUIT MAIL".  I can not open a new window as long as this is in this way.  I have to force quit mail to get it to relaunch.
    I am also getting a lot, and I mean a lot (about 20+ per day) of my old emails from the past three years popping up in various folders that they don't belong in and indicating that they are "unread" ie: bold lettering. When I say various, I mean they are showing up in folders that have nothing to do with the subject or the client. They are suddenly appearing in other client or project's correspondence.
    So what do I do or should I do.  I have kept these emails in their folders as I do refer back to certain client subjects that are sometimes up to three years ago. One folder is just of emails from my son who passed away in 2011. His emails suddenly show up as new mail in various folders as well. I know tomorrow is Halloween, but this is a bit too spooky (or technical) for me to figure out.
    Any one have any suggestions on what could be going on?  and suggestions to fix it?  Would a complete reset of MAIL erase all my folders and emails? I could probably loose some of my old client/project emails, but I do not want to lose my son's last correspondences to me.
    Thanks
    Lew

    Hi Lew,
    Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup),  it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
    Move this Folder to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
    Move this file to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
    Reboot.
    If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup
    Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ may or may not exist.
    If it continues to happen...
    Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when this happens.

    I (and many other people who own Creative products) had the same display issue that you are experiencing. I own a Creative Zen Micro. When I turned it on, the back blue light came on, but the screen was completely blank!? I could play my music, but could not see the menu, etc.
    I first tried to do the reboot process, then I also upgraded the firmware. Nothing worked. After writing to Creative Labs tech support, they informed me that my MP3 player was one month beyond the warranty period. It would cost $85-$35 for tech support to fix the display problem. Ridiculous!? My techie friend told me that since it was already out of warranty, it would not hurt for me to pop open the back and see if maybe the connector from the main board to the display was loose. Well, I got even luckier than that. I openned the back, removed the battery, then I moved the back plate around trying to figure out how to pop it off. Since it was not as easy as my friend had said, I put everything back together to take it to him for help. I?turned the MP3 player on to make sure it still worked and the display was fixed!? I am thinking there must have been something loose or I just got really lucky. Anyway, it has been over 6 months and the display still works. Who knows, try what I did and maybe the same thing will happen to you. I feel for you. It is so frustrating when you spend money on something that breaks and find out it is a known issue. Good luck.

  • Screen doing a weird Thing!

    I have this pic that shows what my screen is doing from time to time and i have to sleep it to make it normal again. have no idea what it is and would love to get some light on what it could be and what it is , or if its fixable, When i take a Screen shot off my computer it takes a normal shot so i had to use my camera to show you what its doing.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    First your screen clearly shows a session of MS Windows on it, are you saying you are running it on an iMac. If you are it appears you are using Boot Camp and should repost on a Boot Camp forum. When you do please provide any additional information such as what computer , OS X version and what have done to trouble shoot the problem.
    You can find a Boot Camp forum at:

  • FCPX may be doing some weird things to my iphoto library

    A few months ago I installed FCPX and since then my iphoto seems to swallow chunks of pics and store them in other places, ex. my external hard drive w/o my consent. Is this related to FCPX or strictly an Iphoto problem?

  • Apple screen at startup does a weird thing all of a sudden

    We are leaving the country in 2 days for an extended time. We travel with the iBook and leave the MBP safely at home.
    We just got a new high capacity battery for extra long run time for the iBook and it's great.
    Now, I just noticed that at start-up just before the Apple logo goes away and grey spinning circle stops spinning and the next screen (opening OS x appears) the Apple logo and the circle seem to jump/wiggle a little to the right on the screen and then it all proceeds as normal. It's done this twice out of the perhaps last 10 starts I've done.
    Does this mean computer death is imminent? Is there a quick fix if this is a problem? I don't have time to solve this if it is major.

    It could be symptomatic of an impending logic board failure:

    Or maybe not?
    If you want to be more certain of a working computer, I would recommend taking the MBP on your trip.
    Bon voyage!

  • Weird thing in Safari

    Not sure why, Safari just started doing this weird thing.
    After I click on an item in eBay, or click any page on any site, when I 'swipe' back using my Apple Magic Mouse, the page jams a few pixels back and it freezes, mouse won't click on anything in Safari after that. I have to quit and start again.
    I trashed system pref plist for Safari, made no difference.
    I repaired permissions (three times) and get the following, anyone know what this means or why Safari has started doing this or how to fix it?
    Repairing permissions for “Macintosh HD”Permissions differ on “Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources/Safari.help/Contents/Resources/inde x.html”; should be lrwxr-xr-x ; they are -rwxr-xr-x .Repaired “Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources/Safari.help/Contents/Resources/inde x.html”
    Thanks

    1. From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. Test.
    2. There are reports that this problem can be solved by simply restarting, or by resetting the PRAM.
    Repairing permissions is a waste of time.

  • Weird thing about when user click Update button

    Hi,
    I got a very weird thing when i want to add some my code in button "1" on click event. I use below code to capture the on click event when user click "Update" button, so i can do some tasks(assign some fix value to a specific field). I found i can capture the event only once. Once the document is updated and i open second recordl then my code is never exexuted then. No error, no exception. Is anyone know what happen?
    Thanks,
    Lan

    Hi All,
    Yes, you are right. After i use try block, i can see the error. I thought I should be expected an red exception alert in the B1 info bar.
    Thank you !

  • Weird things my DX does...

    Just wondering if anyone else has experienced these things.
    I recently went to wakeup my phone (not after a long time or anything, I was using it just minutes before) and the screen was all black, with about 10 apps on the screen and above it, it said "Recently Used Apps" (or something along those lines) When I pushed the power button to put it to sleep and then woke it up again, it returned to my normal unlock screen. I haven't been able to replicate this screen or find anything in settings for it.
    Also, just earlier today I went to wake it up, and the screen looked almost like the image of my homescreen was "burned" into the screen - kind of like a TV or computer might get after a while. It was very dim and I could only see it in certain lighting if I moved the phone around. I tried waking it up again and nothing happened. I had to hold the power button and have the phone reboot to get it back to normal. It was almost like the screen stopped working completely for a minute there. It was very weird, and again, I haven't been able to replicate this issue.
    Anyone else experience these??

    Hmm. I suppose the Home button could have done it. Although, I have never used the Home button for waking up the phone, I always use the power button. The screen did this upon wakeup. I just tried to replicate it by holding the home button, but it didn't do exactly the same thing. This time, it was sort of transparent and I could see my wallpaper and apps in the background, as well as the notification bar. The first time this happened, the entire screen was completely black, and I had only pushed the Power button to wake it up.
    I'm not so concerned about the Recent apps screen as I am about the other "burned" effect it was doing. That sort of worried me a bit, but it hasn't done it since.

  • :)- I canceled the update from Snowleopard to Lion by cleaning my keys ^^. Hit the wrong key i thing. Now i'm very weird ...only can start in Windows and dont know how to get my Lion Update now...Cant start in Mac OS X (Snowleopard) now :((

    Please tell me what i have to do know

    < Edited By Host >

    Hello fuchs (guess), If you cancelled while downloading the 4GB Lion, no problem, download again. Snow Leopard should run (start holding the option key).
    If you cancelled during the install process, I do not know. In this case you could try to start with the CMD + R keys pressed, and choose the restore, which may work if the creation of the restore partition of Lion has finished.
    If that does not work, reinstall Snow Leopard with the CD (start holding the C key), after that download the Combo Update 10.6.8 to update the Snow Leopard completely, then redownload Lion (App Store, click "purchases" while holding the Option Key, find Lion, click "install"). If you want to have your own copy of the Lion installer, you have to copy the installer to a Memory stick or burn to DVD before you install, see else where.

  • Hi. my MacBook pro went off without me turnng it off. i tried turning it on again, but it wouldnt come on. i also tried doing the SMC thing, no avail. please any other thing to do ? (This notebook is still very new for anything to be wrong with it)

    hi. my MacBook pro went off without me turnng it off. i tried turning it on again, but it wouldnt come on. i also tried doing the SMC thing, no avail. please any other thing to do ? (This notebook is still very new for anything to be wrong with it).
    There is no way I would do the smc thing with a laptop that won't come on.

    If it's new and you're anywhere near an Apple Store, take it in. If it's less than 14 days old you can exchange it. If it's more they'll repair it for you.

  • Windows 8 - SC6 started doing weird things, not working correctly

    Windows 8 and CS6 - Liquifying tool not working and and actions not working correctly, back ground screen flickers and changes color and does weird things. I have done a complete D&R and it does the same thing. Someone with the same problem suggested a D&R and deactivate, then reinstall and reactivate, could this possibly work? if so, how would you do that? Thanks

    Yes, one I can think of. Get the make and model of your video card and head over to the card manufacturer's website.
    Check for and install the latest drivers for your card.
    Also see if changing the settings of your GPU helps. Uncheck everything (OpenCL Anti-alias 30 bit displays) and start at Basic. then work your way up to Normal and Advanced.
