Red slide that says "Media off line."
When I work on a project and close it and then bring it back up again, the slides at the beginning of my project are gone and a red slide that says "media off line" in multiple languages comes up and my introductory slides are gone. Please help as this is getting really frustrating. Thank you.

What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
The colorful media offline display indicate a disconnect between the source media that you imported into a project and the project file.
When you import source media into a project, all you have in the project are copies of the originals. The project needs to trace back to
the originals at the hard drive save location where they were when imported into the project. If you move, delete, or rename files and folders
that went into the project after you saved closed the project, you will get those media offline displays.
Another way to run into this type of issue is if you store your source media on an external hard drive and the external hard drive malfunctions, sometimes
changing drive letter.
The reconnects can be complicated and a major nuisance. They are typically done via making selections in the "Where is the file_____?" messages or using the Replace Footage feature.
Please review and consider and supply more details so that we can customize a reply for you to get to the solution.
Thank you.

"Went to work on my photos and something popped up that says, file 0ff-line or missing. This has never happened before. Can someone help? thank you!
This means that the photos (or the folders that contain them) have been moved, renamed or deleted outside of Lightroom. On Windows it can also mean the disk drive has changed letters.
To fix the problem see: Adobe Lightroom - Find moved or missing files and folders -
PREL11 - Lost contact with my media - says "Media Off-line"
I used the trial and created a short movie. After a few days I bought the program. Now that original movie can't be seen on the timeline - it has everything (blank clips, music, text etc) but the original vid/audio is just a thumbnail of "Media Offline", I'm sure I did some folder moving and that's the reason - but I can't seem to find a way to get back to the original files..
DaveWhere are these media files?
It could be that you linked to them while they were still in the camcorder -- or to a memory card in a media slot or to an external drive -- which you've since disconnected from your computer.
You need to have the media files continually accessible to the program as you edit. You can't just connect the camcorder or a hard drive, for instance, add links to your project and then disconnect the device from your computer.
EDIT
Yes, changing folder names or moving your files will also break the links. You need to relink your media files to your project using the prompt that pops up when you open your project. -
Whatdoes it mean when the project I open has a red screen with different languages,media off line?
I finished my movied. and then tried to move everything into a new file labeled TAJE files. Now when I try to open the last version of the movie, I get nothing but 2 of the title clips and then every clip is a red one with different languages saying something about media off line? I deleted old copies but thought that was ok?
PamYes, if you have a completed DVD and just want to copy it then use disk burning software, not PRE. I use Nero and ImgBurn as my main burning applications - Nero is commercial, ImgBurn is free.
If you want to make extra copies over time you would be better to copy the VIDEO_TS folder from your DVD to your Hard Disk and then point ImgBurn at the folder.
For new projects requiring multiple DVDs to be burnt you would be better during Share to burn it to disk. Again, once it's there you can just point ImgBurn at it.

On premiere elements 12, my videos in my existing projects has been replaced by the red screen "media off-line"
[Title edited for clarification of the problem - Hunt]Lewjjj6360
Have you moved or deleted or put in folders the source media after you saved closed these projects?
Can you still see the project's source media on the computer hard drive in their save location?
If so, what is that saved location...external hard drive or somewhere on the Local Disc C?
As suggested in Peru Bob's question, if external hard drive is the storage place for all your source media, has the drive letter changed since you saved/closed your projects?
By the way, what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 12 running on?
Looking forward to your follow up.
Thanks.

"media off line" message when logging
When I'm trying to log my footage and organize it in clips I run into few problems:
First - the media in / media out markers do not show the correct time code - how do I set it correctly?
Second - when I click "log clip" it shows as "media off line". All the footage is copied into my hard drive. Why does it give me that message?Final Cut Pro works with QuickTime .mov files. It also accepts avi but it can be clunky.
If the files are already on your drive, simply import them into FCP. Click on one of the files in the Browser and press command and 9 keys. You can add logging notes in the window that just popped up. To make clips, you can add makers and name them. The captured file will now have a disclosure triangle next to it. Click it to see the individual pieces.
It would help to know which codec was used to make these files -avi is not a codec.
Look in the format section of the Item Properties window (command & 9 keys) what does it say next to Compressor? -
When I opened my file (project) all of the audio and video clips were replaced with "Media Off-Line" clip. What's up?

Details, especially version of Premiere Elements, computer operating system, and etc are important.
Pending more information, you probably moved or deleted the source media that went into your project after you saved closed the project.
Another explanation is that you stored the project media on an external hard drive and, after you saved closed the project, something happened to the external hard drive (one example, drive letter changed).
Please check out the merits of the Project Archiver found under File Menu/Project Archiver with its Archiver and Copy options.

Computer says printer Off line
computer says printer Off line, HP Office Jet 6500 E710n-z Class Driver I try to print and computer says printer is off-line. How do I get it back on-line?
Hi Michael74,
Thank you for visiting the HP Support Forums and Welcome. I have read your thread on your Officejet 6500 e710n printer not being able to print. Try shutting if off, then pulling the power out of the back for about a minute. Plug it back in and turn it back on.
If that does not resolve the issue try the HP Print and Scan Doctor. The HP Print and Scan Doctor is a diagnostic tool that will help repair issues.
Please let me know how this goes.
Thanks.

My I phone 5 locked on me during an update to IOS 8. Nothing is happening at all. I have a frozen picture of the power cord and a red circle that says itunes.
What happened is the update forced your phone into recovery mode. There's been a lot of issues with this, but the only thing you can do is plug the phone into iTunes and do a restore on it. Hopefully you have a backup so you can restore your information.

I can not access Itunes Store from my computer.
When I run the diagnostic tool for network connectivity, my network connects but I get a Red light that says "SECURE LINK TO THE ITUNES STORE FAILED".
Can anyone help me on this problem?ITunes won't connect all I get is the "accessing iTunes store......". With the bar scrolling but no connection.
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.) -
When I attempt to upload from a CD I get a box with a red X that says new itunes library. What do I have to do to correct this? I have never had a problem doing this.
Hey the1stpotada,
I would take a look at the recommended steps in this article and run through them to see if they help resolve the issue. Some of the steps may be slightly different depending on what operating system you're using:

I have read a few threads on the subject of people wanting to find media that went off line or what can be deleted with out harming the project. While all that was helpful, it did not answer all my questions. What I would like to know is if I have found the quicktime files how do I reopen them in Final Cut Express. I tried and it says the media is still off line. I am probably doing something wrong and would be very grateful for an easy step by step explanation.
I will tell you what I did.
I went to file reconnect media and choose one of the quicktime flies off of my scratch drive/disk and after that no errors popped up. However everything in my project still said media offline. So I dragged on of the clips onto the timeline and scrolled through it and the video played in the preview window. However everywhere else it said that the Media was offline even on the timeline while it was playing.
I don’t know if I am explaining this right. -
On my IPad Air there is a red message at the top of the Google screen that says Google recording. Is this eating up my battery and how do I turn it off? I am very much a novice.
Google is using your microphone.
Go to Settings>Privacy>microphone.
Find "Google" in the list of apps on at that page. Remove permission for that App. -
I just installed the Canon MP160 printer. I downloaded the driver software from Canon version 12.1.4.0.(2/8/2008). I can print documents fine from Internet Explorer. When I go to print from Firefox the printer dialog box says the printer is "off line" and I get printer queue error messages. I can also print OK from windows. I have a PC 32 bit with Windows Vista.

I think your issue is that even though you have the latest 10.2.0 driver for 10.9, you added the printer using the previous v2.43 PPD. So open Print & Scan, remove the current printer for the iRC3380 and click the plus button to add again. After selecting IP > LPD and entering the IP address, ensure you select "Canon iR C2880/C3380" in the Use menu. Note that there is no mention of UFRII in the model name, as is the case with the previous UFR2 v2.43 driver.
Thanks for the suggestion. I did that this morning (see Step 1) and deleted the existing printer before re-adding a new printer and using the newly updated driver and printer description. Here's what I get:
You can see my model number is listed in there as is the the proprietary Canon UFRII language.
Once added, here's what happens next:
So it would appear, at this point, that the printer is installed and communicating and that I should be good to print.
Alas, I get the same error message I've been getting. back to square one.
