Recording alert: failure occurred when preparing the device (null)

After never having any issues, I have just now upgraded to (actually, uninstalled the old and installed from scratch the new) Final Cut Studio 2.
Problem: Soundtrack invariably gives me an error that states "alert: "Recording alert: failure occurred when preparing the device (null)" when opening some new files. I also cannot record: I have line in and digital line as choices, but NOT iSight - which used to be the quick way I recorded with the previous version of Soundtrack Pro.
In Preferences, I only have the 2 choices above. However, when I enter the recording preferences from the recording pane (goes to audio devices / Audio Midi Setup) I DO have 3 choices again, one of them being iSight for default input. This seems to have no effect though (other than the error).
When selecting digital or analog inputs (currently nothing connected) I either get +59db (max) on both channels, or nothing. Obviously, nothing is being recorded...
Any help appreciated.....
THanks!
Dan

I'm having the same problem with a Digi 002 on OSx 10.4, Dual 1.25 system . Everything appears to be confrgured properly. somebody must know what going on here. Joe, did you figure it out ? Let me know. In the meantime I just record in Pro Tools and import the track to Soundtrack, works but it's an extra step.

I encountered the same exact problem when I attempted to re-installed OSX Lion on an old laptop. The date was set back in 2000, which rendered the certificate obsolete. Here's how I fixed it:
From the recovery menu, select the Terminal application. Run the 'date' command to confirm the date is wrong, then set the correct date using this command: date {month}{day}{hour}{minute}{year}
e.g. date 1219195613
Exit terminal (type exit). Retry the installation.

  • An error occurred while preparing the installation. Try running the application again

    I Have erased the hard drive of my MBP in order to perform a clean reinstall of OS X Mavericks, according to these instructions.
    When I tried to reinstall, my internet connection stopped (was broadcasting via another MBP and the cable from that one got disconnected), so I restarted the erased MBP to try again. Holding command+R, it booted in internet recovery (as the recovery partition was erased along with the rest of the hard drive), but could not connect over the broadcasted WiFi, so I created a bootable USB flash drive according to these instructions on the other MBP.
    This installation went smooth without any hiccups, but due to an oversight I had to do it again the next day.
    I took the same steps, with the same bootable drive (I did not create a new one the first time) but this time I couldn’t get through the prepare to install phase. At the end, where the “about a second remaining” message stays for about 20 minutes, I get the “An error occurred while preparing the installation. Try running the application again” message. When I quit the installer (only option at that stage) and return to Disk Utility, the internal drive on which I tried to do the installation is not visible anymore.
    I tried this (after a reboot every time) with a new bootable usb drive with the same download of the OS X Mavericks installer and with a new one, each ending with the same error. The installer was downloaded on an MBP on which Mavericks is also installed, with the same Apple ID. The App Store did not allow me to change Apple ID for the Mavericks download. Can this pose a problem? It did work the first time, though.
    Note that this error occurs at a different stage than the one with the same message due to the wrong date (this discussion amongst others). I also checked the date in terminal and this appears to be correct, when I consider the timezone.
    Here are a few lines from the installer log (omitted similar lines and lines that could contain personal information). The most important line is the last one, indicating the error.

    That last line indicates the error that occurred. (The internal drive on which I try to install Mavericks is called “schijf”, it also already has been called Macintosh HD, with no effect. This time I tried another name during the reformat to see if and when the installer renames the disk. Does it do this, or should I call the disk “Macintosh HD” myself?)
    By now I also got past the internet recovery issues, being able to get the progress bar under the spinning globe and the option to install Lion (not Mavericks, but I suppose that’s because the MBP shipped with Lion). When I choose this option, the installer first spends a few hours downloading additional components. This eventually took less time than first indicated, but still about 4-5 hours. After this, the installation of about 24 minutes starts, but this takes much longer than the indicated 24 minutes, each minute taking about 15 minutes. When it was less than a minute, the internet connection got disconnected (but I don’t suppose it still needed an internet connection at this stage, having downloaded all additional components) and now the “Less than a minute” message has been there the whole night (about 9,5 hours), the last 9 hours with a spinning beachball on the screen after I accidentally clicked somewhere on the screen (nowhere in particular, he shouldn’t do something because of the click. After unplugging the power adapter, the battery icon on the screen wasn’t updated, and the WiFi icon simply disappeared, instead of showing no bars like it should when there’s no connection).
    Does Anyone know how I can fix the error, because I would prefer installing with a bootable drive. Is it worth it to continue waiting on the current, apparently stuck Lion installer to finish or should I force a reboot?
    Can I try using the Recovery Disk assistant (OS X Recovery Disk Assistant v1.0) to create a recovery disk with the other MBP? I think not, as this might cause trouble with 2 different MBP's using the same license.
    Thanks in advance!

    Since this thread seems to be gaining more speed than the other one i'm working on, i figured i'd add these images to help you all out detailing the exact problem.
    I'm having the same issue and I wanted to provide some info specific to my mac, and some info in general to help with diganosis.
    First, my specs
    Secondly, I am running an aftermarket 500 GB drive.
    Third, not sure if this is realated, but this screen suggests the proress will take 3 minutes, then it abruptly umps to the restart phase after about 1.5 - 2.5 minutes.
    And finally, here is the seeminly unavoidable error message.
    Also, other things I've tried now are
    installing it from the "show package contents area",
    mounting said DMG and trying to install from there.
    installing a package file called "upgradeos.pkg"
    no luck.

  • 'Error 8 occurred when starting the data extraction program'

    Hello Experts,
    I am trying to pull master data (Full upload) for a attribute. I am getting an error on BW side i.e. 'The error occurred in Service API .'
    So I checked in Source system and found that the an IDOC processing failure has occurred. The failure shows 'Error 8 occurred when starting the data extraction program'.
    But when I check the extractor through RSA3, it looks fine.
    Can someone inform what might be the reason of the failure for IDOC processing and how can this be avoided in future. Because the same problem kept occurring later as well.
    Thanks
    Regards,
    KP

  • An error occurred when loading the Cube ; Analysis services 2012

    Hi All
    We are facing issue on our SQL Analysis services 2012 (11.0.3381.0) on windows 2008 R2.
    All cubes are not getting loaded on server. When we restart services some times 2/8 cubes some times 4/8 cubes and some times all cubes get loaded. We are not sure what could be reason for such in consistency. Below are the logs

    Hi Saurabh,
    Please elaborate your scenario or OLAP Server environment with more detail. What's the method you used to load the SSAS cube?
    For this issue, I would suggest opening a case with Microsoft Customer Support Services (CSS) (http://support.microsoft.com), so that a dedicated Support Professional can assist you in a more efficient manner.

  • An error occurred while preparing the installation try running this application again mountain lion

    I have Macbook Pro. Previous OS was Mountain Lion 10.8.5. It was running smoothly. When I have tried to clean install the NEW Maverick 10.9 it didnt work. I erase the drive then restart for boot. nad my usb boot disk was connected. When the window came for reinstall the OS. I click. click to "continue" but then it says....there has a problem with boot. But six months ago I installed it in the same way without any error or any hamper. after that i tried many times to boot and install but i failed. i tried to recover it by internet recovery. it takes few hours. after completation the recovery the reinstall window again came. i click to reinstall then it says "an error occurred while preparing the installation try running this application again mountain lion"

    i tried several times but it doesn't work. now i am downloading again osx 10.8.5 dmg to try again.

    There is no network
    I hope that I showed you my problem

    That's a critical failure. It can not be fixed. It is usually the result of jailbreaking or hacking the phone to unlock it.

  • Email alert only occurs when I open email

    My first iphone. User-friendly, my a**! You call being forced to login 4 times with a password that is required to have a minimum of 489 characters (155 of which must be CAPS), 85 lower case, 141 numbers and 108 special characters???  I clicked at least 30 OK boxes to get to this forum and I'm too ****** to worry about the stupidity that my email alert only occurs when I open the damned email. Gee, thanks iphone, I'd never know I was opening the email I was opening if you didn't ring that bell!
    What I'd really like is notification that an email has arrived without having to log into my phone and open the program!

    Thank you for responding.
    Unfortunately, I am currently going through Gmail.
    As for exaggerating, both my iphone and my desktop require multiple logins after asking questions. 4 logins for my desktop to get to this page. Fine, it's not a minimum of 489 characters. I believe in complicated passwords, but not being forced to use one in specific format and then being asked 4 times in a row for full log in. Excuse the **** out of me if that happens to make me angry. It amazes me how the people who believe in Darwinian evolution are always fighting against the concept of "survival of the fittest."
    I had also just done the same thing on my iphone, which was worse because of the limitations of the touch screen.

    I already went to similar kind of error solution in forum,but this error is coming for one web I query,all other reports are working fine.
    I already implemented note 1032461

    Hi,
    Under normal circumstances it should be enough to restart the connection service.
    As far as we know there is no formal solution to this problem from SAP yet but restarting the connection service is much less of an interuption compared to restarting the the SIA.
    Re-starting the connection service should resolve this issue. since, Connection service is only related to DeskI and Rich Client re-statrng wonu2019t impact other business objects components including java report panel.
    All the Best,

  • App-v 5.0 SP2 hotfix 5, an error occurred when querying the App-V WMI provider

    Hi,
    We have installed App-v 5.0 SP2 + hotfix 5 (via SCCM 2012 R2 CU1) on some Windows 7 clients. That worked fine but no app-v applications go through.

    Please advise on this specific error. Should we look for corruption in app-v client, problem in sccm client ...?

    Jan Hoedt
    Update: clients which don't have problems are client which had hotfix 4 THEN hotfix 5 installed. Should we install it that order? Client WITH problems have App-v 5.0 SP2 then hotfix 5 directly.
    Update2: I installed the app-v client via setup.exe, the hotfix 4 also via setup.exe but since it installed all language packs, I decided to extract hotfix 5 and use the msp.
    Could that be cause of the issue? I could use the exe of hotfix 5 but then I need to be sure how NOT to install all the language packs.

    I think we found a solution ourselves.
    My update2 (question) explains it:
    Update2: I installed the app-v client via setup.exe, the hotfix 4 also via setup.exe but since it installed all language packs, I decided to extract hotfix 5 and use the msp.
    Could that be cause of the issue? I could use the exe of hotfix 5 but then I need to be sure how NOT to install all the language packs.
    We installed App-v 5.0 SP2 via exe then installed hotfix via msp (extracted msp), this doesn't seem to work (though installation was succesfull). When we deploy the hotfix via the exe it works correctly.
    Not sure why though.

  • Errors/warnings occurred when generating the local proxy dll and VI wrappers for web service

    Hello,
    I'm new to web services - trying to import a WSDL that was created by an outside vendor and placed on a company server.  I imported a previous version successfully.  The error I'm getting doesn't make a lot of sense to me, here it is:
    The following errors/warnings occurred when generating the local proxy dll and VI wrappers for this web service.
    Can't generate files.
    Possible reasons are:
    1. The output file(s) might be read-only.
    Remove the read-only attribute and import the Web service again.
    2. A proxy DLL that LabVIEW created under the same file path exists in memory.
    Restart LabVIEW and import the Web service again.
    I don't see any read-only attributes on the output files and I've tried restarting LabVIEW - no luck.  Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Al Rauch
    Merck & Co., Inc.

    Aaron,
    I was able to successfully import and run the web services from the WSDL file in question in LV2009 on a different computer than the one on which I had the original problem.  Unfortunately I am still having the original problem on the project computer and will need to get it working there . . . still looking for a solution to that.  Apparently LV2009 is perfectly capable of importing and running this WSDL file, but there is something still in the way on the project PC.
    Thanks,
    Al
