RT and strange problem in sequence

Hi there,
Another day, another question for the FCP masters....
I'm editing a short promo, where I've set up a new project and when I take clips into the timeline, the clip will flash up the frame before where I set an the in point. If I scroll through it on the timeline using the left and right buttons then it's perfect; the in and out points are where they should be. However, when I hit spacebar to play the clip the frame previous flashes up before it plays. This is happening on all the clips I take into the timeline. (If that makes sense....)
I've also noticed the 'Dropped Frames' error comes up a lot, and when I've gone to change the RT settings I seem to have a menu that is lacking the 'unlimited' options and the others - all it has is:
- Play Base Layer Only
- Record to Tape (greyed out)
- Use Playback settings
- Full Quality (which is checked)
I've tried trashing prefs, and also making new sequences to get rid of the previous frames playing but no joy with either.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Looking through the forums I found this one which sounds similar:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10255067&#10255067
Basically, I took the final quicktime file from their drive and have just been working on that, do you think it needs converted to another format and if so, which one?
It's a Quicktime file, Size: 1024 x 576, Vid Rate: 25 fps, Compressor: H264, Data Rate: 325.4 K/sec, Pixel Aspect: Square, Field Dominance: None
Would be a real nightmare to convert at this stage as I've already made a host of subclips to prepare for the edit....

Big and strange problem with my Zen Touch, please he

I have had my Zen Touch since October and I have never had a problem with it, but suddenly yesterday I stopped for no obvious reason, it just froze.
I have since tried to reset it a number of times, and everytime it goes into something called "recovery mode", where I can "clean up", "format all" "reload firmware" or "reboot". Only reboot works, when I try to choose the other options it just says "harddisk problem".
I have then tried to upgrade the firmware through USB 2.0, but it freezes shortly into the process...
So now I don?t know what to do, I really hope that some of you can help me... Thanks a lot

Well that's a big problem, but it's certainly not a strange one. In fact, it seems to happen to pretty much every Zen Touch ever.Last time it happened to mine I fixed it by putting the player in its case and dropping it on the floor. I'm not even joking.Edit: By the way, this usually means the hard dri've is stuck, particularly if your player is new. Smackin' it around a little really does help.Message Edited by debaser on 04-06-2005 02:8 AM

New and strange problem

I am trying to burn an 'Expert setting' .mov file of a project which I have done countless times before. This time, when I play back the movie file, it always get stuck before the end. I've tried deleting the clips that it got stuck on and then re-exported again, but then the .mov gets stuck on the NEXT clip.
Please help!

Hi SH
Have You tried ?
• Close iMovie
• Locate Your movie project (icon with a Star on it)
• Open iDVD and drop Your movie icon into the iDVD theme window.
My way.

Strange problem with Eclipse, JAXB and JBoss

Hello,
I've been confronted to a very strange problem for the last week, and I still can't manage to fix it. I'm working on a J2EE application, using JBOSS. One of its functionality require the use of XML parsing. For this task, I've used JAXB since everyone in my company use this library. So I've written a small test class, that read my XML file, unmarshal it to java beans, and then write it back to another file (just for testing purpose only, I'm not trying to make the worst "copy" implementation ever done :) .)
jaxbContext = JAXBContext.newInstance(ObjectFactory.class.getPackage().getName());
Unmarshaller unmarshaller = jaxbContext.createUnmarshaller();
//Unmarshal from XML to Bean
XMLResult result = (XMLResult)unmarshaller.unmarshal(new File("path/to/file/myTestFile.xml"));
//[Test] marshal back to XML
Marshaller marshaller = jaxbContext.createMarshaller();
marshaller.marshal(result, new File("path/to/file/output.xml"));When I run this file, I first get an error about namespaces...
unexpected element (uri:"http://myNamespace.com", local:"XMLResult"). Expected elements are <{http://myNamespace.com/}Patient>,<{}Episode>, ..... <{}XMLResult>, etc...
(Result is the root, patient and episode are sub elements)
I have absolutely no idea why my root (XMLResult) should have no namespace, but some other elements should, and some shouldn't... but that's not the real problem. I've tried to fix this for days, changing namespaces, removing them.. but it didn't work. And then, I once chose to clean my project in Eclipse, and re-run my test. and it worked... !
After some changes to the XSD, I re-run XJC, then recompile my project, and re-deploy it to JBOSS. I ran my test once more and... same error as before. Then, again, I clean the project.. and the test worked.
So when I use the basic compiler for eclipse, everything works, but if I choose to use ant to build and deploy, it won't... even if they are supposed to be the same (run configuration / jre / use same as workspace). Here is an example of XML file I'm trying to read, and the related XSD :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
elementFormDefault="qualified"
targetNamespace="http://myNamespace.com"
xmlns:ar="http://myNamespace.com">
<xs:element name="XMLResult">
 <xs:complexType>
 <xs:sequence>
 <xs:element ref="ar:Patient"/>
 <xs:element ref="ar:Episode"/>
 </xs:sequence>
 </xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<XMLResult xmlns="http://myNamespace.com">
<Patient >
</Patient>
<Episode >
</Episode>
</XMLResult>Any idea of what I'm doing wrong? I think I've tried everything.... and looked everywhere, but had no success :/ I still don't know why it work with the basic compilation, or why my namespaces are wrong... (if they are).

I don?t know if its a bug of the lomboz, if it is,
please tell me what to do.It is a bug in Lomboz. It has a forum here: http://forge.objectweb.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=360.

I am facing a strange problem on new iphone 5 that I bought last week. The maps app and the places in photo gallery shows the pin and my location, however there is no information of locations. Tried to close the apps, phone restart, reset etc. I am accessing it via strong wireless connection and it works fine on other devices. Please help.

Then no information exists. Use the Report a Problem button within the app to report it.

Computer slower and a few other strange problems since upgrading to SL

Hi all,
About a month ago, I upgraded my mid-2009 MBP to SL. I'm now on 10.6.1. Ever since the upgrade, my computer's been somewhat slower than it was when I ran Leopard (although many people I know say their machines are faster). I did restart several times at one point, and that seemed to speed it up, although it still experiences delays I didn't have before. I've also had a bunch of strange issues:
1) Safari is most noticeably slow, especially when using something like Top Sites on Safari 4. I alleviated this problem somewhat by setting new tabs to open a blank window rather than Top Sites, but even so, Safari is generally slower, gives me 'pinwheels' often, and also is less stable.
2) The other day, I restarted to find that all fonts except system fonts had been mysteriously deactivated. As a designer, I rely heavily on my many fonts, which I manage using Linotype FontExplorer.
3) Today, I opened my computer up after having it sleeping in a backpack, and it had turned off. It was not out of battery; it had just turned off for no apparent reason.
4) Judging by Activity Monitor, RAM is being used somewhat more heavily by the system, contrary to the advertisements of a 'lighter' footprint for SL as compared to Leopard. However, according to Activity Monitor (which I check frequently), the processor does not appear to be getting taxed any more heavily than under Leopard, which makes the sluggishness more inexplicable.
5) Yesterday, I could not get my computer to recognize my Time Machine backup disc. After restarting, it worked, but this is a pain.
I appreciate any advice I can get. Does anyone else have similar problems or solutions? Or is the general consensus that these are SL bugs that Apple will work out by about 10.6.4 or so?
Thanks,
Nathan

I began this thread awhile ago, but the essence of it is that I had a number of strange problems, although mostly my computer was just slower, when upgrading from Leo to SL.
I've now wiped my HD and re-installed SL. It seems faster, although there are still a few issues:
1) iWork (Pages, Numbers) has very weird coloring. All the text looks light blue and/or cyan, and I can't fix it.
2) Although initially Safari worked great, lately it's been going back to its habits of being slow and showing strange things like chopping up the 'Top Sites' view, i.e. rendering it in an off way.
3) Adobe CS3 will not install properly. I get them loaded up, but when I try to launch a program, I get an error that says "licensing for this product has stopped working". I cannot get to the 'activate' page, even though I uninstalled and deactivated CS3.
In the interest of full disclosure, I did restore my home account after clean installing SL-- maybe I should have brought the files over folder by folder rather than bringing back my whole home folder with its settings? I wonder if I accidentally brought over Adobe's FLEXnet folder too.
Also, does anyone know if Adobe CS3 can cause these problems with Safari and other programs? It just seems that the whole machine was slower after installing CS3, even though I wasn't running the programs.
Any help is appreciated.

Strange Problems With Display and Permissions Since 10.5.1 update.

Since I've done the 10.5.1 update I have been having a strange problem with my desktop and dock displays. On my desktop I have these strange lines that appear any time I log in or open any application, the lines never go away and change locations on the screen once I open an application or move a window. My dock has the reflective shelf for about half of it, the rest is a dull grey. I've also had problems with verifying and repairing my permissions. I can never actually complete either permissions task. I've used some third party apps, they always fail as well. The only time I can actually repair my permissions is by booting in to single user mode and doing a fsck -f command. When I boot back in to Leopard and try to use the Disk Utility to repair, it continues to fail.
I'm not sure if the video problem I am having stems from a permissions issue or possibly a corrupt video driver. Either way, I've done a lot research and haven't found anyone with the same problems I have been having so I thought I would give these forums a shot.
I am using a PowerMac G4 Quicksilver with dual 800Mhz, 1.5gb RAM, and a GeForce4 Ti 4600 128mb video card.
Here is a screen shot of the line and dock problem.
Here is a screen shot of my "About This Mac.
If anyone could lend some light on this issue, I would greatly appreciate it.

Hello, starting with today I have a strange problem: all events are correctly shown in the finder but in FCP-X there`s`none and every time I open it creates a new event. What is wrong?

Hello, starting with today I have a strange problem with Final Cut Pro X: all events are correctly shown in the finder but in FCP-X there`s`none and every time I open it creates a new event. What is wrong?

Here`s the screenshot.
But anyway:
The drive is Makintosh HD from my Macbook and it is shown in the event mediathek and in the projects. Since I`ve recognized this problem I installed FCPX again and consequently the event and project directory created by FCPX is where it should be and it shows all the test events including it`s files.
So what happens? Opening FCPX you see only one event and that a new empty event. All previous events are not shown there even if you can see them in the finder. So if you import again the clips they are in this new event library. After closing correctly FCPX and reopening there again is nothing than an new and empty event. What it does is that it recognized that i.e. there are events with previous numbers and so it creates an new one with the next available counting number.
If you want to open one event from the finder it by clicking to the file it opens FCPX but it says it cannot open the clicked file.

Strange problem pasting and backspacing in Mail.app

I've been having a strange problem in Mail.app when composing messages. Suppose I have a short, three-line message like this:
Hi John,
Here's the quote from Einstein:
Simple enough, right? So then I go to another application -- for example, Firefox -- to copy some text that I want to paste in. I put the text cursor at the point where I want to paste the text; in this example, after "Einstein:". I paste. And then it looks like this:
Hi John,
"Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new."
Here's the quote from Einstein:
That's right: it pastes the text ABOVE the line where I want it, instead of just on the same line. It doesn't matter if I choose regular "Paste" or "Paste and Match Style."
Now, I tried to be smart, and put a blank line below where I wanted to the text. When I paste it in, I get the pasted text below "Einstein:" just as you would expect. But if I click at the beginning of the pasted text, and then press backspace so it goes up to the previous line, then it jumps ABOVE the line I want and the result is identical to the one illustrated above.
Any ideas? This is driving me nuts. When I have copied text that I want to paste into an e-mail, I have to compose my messages elsewhere (usually BBEdit) and then paste them into Mail.app in their entirety. HELP!
Also, no: I have zero copy/paste problems in any other application. I have no clipboard add-on software, either.
(note that I'm at OS X 10.5.8 despite the "product" remark below)

I have the same problem. It also happens in notes.
Now I created a note in Mail on my Macbook and had this problem: Backspacing a line moved it above the previous paragraph. Then I opened the same note on my Ipad, and I did not have the problem, I could simply backspace the same line and it was connected to the end of the previous paragraph. What I did see in my Ipad note however was that the two paragraphs had a different font (which was not visible on macbook, until I edited it on my Ipad). Somehow my macbook mail creates unsolicited separate paragraphs, which use different invisble fonts, and these paragraphs may not be merged.
The same problem probably also causes email messages that I compose on my macbook to end up at the recipient in a very different font (i.e., lines/ paragraphs are larger and/or in different font.) than what I see when composing the message. This is really annoying, because it makes you look like a complete moron who is unable to compose a properly edited message.

Asynchronous XI- RFC and RFC- XI scenario - strange problem

Hello XI-Xperts,
I've come to really strange problem, which I would like to share with you and possibly get an explanation.
I have an asynchronous scenario with ending XI->RFC. The RFC function in R/3 has got an optional parameter called SENDER, which when is filled, the another asynchronous RFC->XI scenario should be started. (via ABAP code CALL FUNCTION 'Z_XI_RETURN' DESTINATION gc_xi_destination ... etc.)
Now, the direction XI->RFC is configured properly, but the way back NO(!). Anyway I thought that it wouldn't make me a trouble, because those two scenarios are IMHO absolutelly separated. So I'd presume that the the data should come to R/3 without problem, it should be processed, and in case the parameter SENDER is filled the R/3 would establish the RFC connection and the "return data" should go back in different XI thread.
Well I would think like that but the situation is different:
When the parameter SENDER is empty, all goes OK and I can see in Runtime Workbench Message Monitoring - Adapter engine - Detail - Audit log only "successes". But when SENDER is filled with a value and R/3 does CALL FUNCTION with DESTINATION to a non-existing Sender agreement, the R/3 apparently doesn't send a acknowledgement to Adapter Engine of first thread XI->RFC. Intstead of that there are three messages in audit log:
MP: exception caught with cause com.sap.aii.af.ra.ms.api.RecoverableException: error while processing message to remote system:com.sap.aii.af.rfc.core.client.RfcClientException: JCO.Exception while calling Z_FIDATA_INPUT in remote system (RfcClient[IS2RFC_SAP_BG]):com.sap.mw.jco.JCO$Exception: (104) RFC_ERROR_SYSTEM_FAILURE: senderAgreement not found: lookup of binding via CPA-cache failed for AdapterType RFC, AdapterNS http://sap.com/xi/XI/System, di: com.sap.aii.af.rfc.afcommunication.RfcAFWException: error while processing message to remote system:com.sap.aii.af.rfc.core.client.RfcClientException: JCO.Exception w

Basically I understand what is happening on the background, but I really can't go over my persuation that in case of the ASYNCHRONOUS SCENARIO this should not happen.
Or is the RFC call (I mean XI->RFC) "pseudo-synchronous" even in asynchronous scenario ? I mean that Adapter engine waits for the result of RFC everytime ... ?!
Thank you
Tomas

Hello again guys,
so I've understood it on the end. My ABAP code didn't contain EXCEPTION part of CALL FUNCTION statement.
CALL FUNCTION 'Z_XI_RETURN'
 DESTINATION gc_xi_destination
 EXPORTING
 <PARS>
 EXCEPTIONS
 communication_failure = 1
 system_failure = 2.
Without it the RFC short-dumped and AE correctly tried to call it 1+3 times. The thing, that the problem was connected to XI related topic, tricked me. Well it's smart, I must admit on the end
Reward points for interest.

Strange problem with DatagramSocket and DatagramPacket.

Hi!
I got a strange problem with UDP sockets:
Client (hardware device) send binary data messages, consisting of bytes and shorts fields (8 and 16 bits). But when I tried to read byte array, received from socket, I got some type anomaly. For example:
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
DatagramPacket packet = new DatagramPacket(buffer, 1024);
socket.receive(packet);
byte[] data = packet.getData();
System.out.println("Received data:");
for (int i = 0; i < packet.getLength(); i++) {
System.out.printf("%h:", data);
I got such thing: 34:4:fffffff1:ffffffdb:ffffffdc:20:1:1:0:2:50
If I try to parse it using ByteArrayInputStream and DataInputStream
ByteArrayInputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(packet.getData());
DataInputStream dis = new DataInputStream(is);
int head = dis.readByte();
int recvinfo = dis.readByte();
short count = (short)dis.readShort();
System.err.printf("Decoded:\n head: %h\n recvinfo: %h\n count: %h\n",
head, recvinfo, count);i got following:
Decoded:
head: 34
recvinfo: 4
count: fffff1db
So I get Integer entries in byte?! array. I also got Integer even I try to read and cast it as short in short!!! variable.
Please help!
P.S. Sorry for my bad English.

Rather fortunate that it auto-casts(or rather, that 0xFF is int by default, rather than attempting any type-detection as most languages do), as otherwise the brackets would have been in the wrong place. If it was still a byte after the "& 0xFF", sign extension would still occur.
For the sake of the less bit-literate reading this thread, it should be explained that the reason for this was large bytes being interpreted as negative numbers, which translate to negative int, which in hexa become very large ints. That's about as verbose as I can be about this without writing the equivalent of a wikipedia entry about 2s complement.

Strange Problem - iTunes audio clicks and pops when connected to internet

Hello,
I have a very strange problem.
When I go to play a song in iTunes the audio clicks and pops. Not an uncommon problem I know, but here is where things seem to get strange.
I'm using iTunes on a laptop so I have a little switch which allows me to turn off my wireless adapter thus disconnecting me from the internet.
If I'm connected to the internet the audio clicks and pops but if I'm disconnected the audio plays smooth as it should.
The problem arrived out of no where i.e. no changes made to the laptop like installing drivers or programs.
I'm completely lost at what to do and after weeks of searching online I just had to ask to see if anyone here can help me.
Thanks

Since writing this article I read that there is a problem with the airport update for tiger 10.4.11, which is exactly what I'm running. This is a pretty serious issue because I can't even listen to streaming music off the internet (via my firebox) without major clicks and pops. I wish I turned my updater of when things were stable

Strange problem and clicking sound from speakers!

I have problem with sound but this is strange one and i can't find solution anywhere... I am pretty good with computers and i usualy find solutions on internet when i have problem but this is something i can't solve by myself... My laptop is HP 355 G2 and i have Windows 10 installed on it but the same problem was on Windows 8.1 too... So after clean installation of Win10 the sound was good and worked normaly for 2-3 days and now i only hear a clicking sound from speakers when audio is playing but the strange thing is that when i pick up laptop from the table the sound start to work for few seconds and then the clicking sound comes back again, so i suspect that this has something to do with accelerometer which is built in laptop for hard disc parking in case of drop or something like that... I tryed to uninstal/disable driver for accelerometer but windows install it again emidiatly after reboot, i tryed clean install few times and problem apears again and again... I just don't know anymore what to try to do in order to solve this so if anyone know anything about this please help... And i forgot to say that headphone jack work normaly and when i plug the headphones or external speakers in headphones jack the sound works but the clicking sound still comes out from built in speakers... Thanks in advance and sorry for my English, it is not my native language and there is no support forums on my native language witch is Serbian...

So i tried few more things like disable/enable sound card, driver reinstalation, bitrate changing and everything elese i could find here on forums or on the net (pretty much same stuff like here could be find on internet) and strange thing is that no one have same or similar problem like me... i just don't know anymore what to do...

10.4.10 update and very strange problem with Mac Mini

Dear All,
I have just updated my Mac Mini Intel and I am having a strange problem.
My Mac Mini has problems booting up. Sometimes I get through the login screen as normal but my wallpaper shows and there are no desktop icons, no dock, no top of screen finder menu bar. Some other times I get stuck in the progress bar of the booting up.
I tried to run utilities from install disk and there were no problems detected.
The VERY STRANGE thing is that several times now as I put my fingertip onto the power button laying it on the button but not pressing it yet (because I would like to shut down the system), the system kicks in and becomes unfrozen!!!
Someone in the 123macmini.com forum says that this problem is related to the airport receiver which is near the power button.
What do you think about it???
MacBook and MacMini Mac OS X (10.4.10)

ok, I have found a kind of fix for the problem, although may run a hardware test to check something!.
I unplugged all USB and Firewire devices, I turned off Bluetooth and Airport, reinstalled the 10.4.10 combo update, when it restarted the starting mac osx screen took barely a second or 2 to load (my comment above is becuase from when I first got it on Sunday I noticed it was slow to boot up, also noticed that the screen resoulution I have set does not kick in until I log on, although this may be becuase this mac mini is an intel one). The computer booted up very quickly and I tuend on bluetooth and airport with no issues and plugged all the usb and fireware devices back in. I again turned the airport off and restarted and again it booted up very quickly logged on and swithced the airport back on. I decided to reboot with the sirport on and it got stuck at the end of the os x starting up screen, I waited a few mins switched it off and on again and it booted up fine although slower. I dont mind turning the airport off when I power down as the mac usually stays on anyway. I assume Apple will release a fix for this as a lot of people seem to have the problem so think I will stay put with this for the time being. It was taking a several goes to get to the login screen before but usually got there every few boots.

Strange problem with auto-fill addresses in mail and address book

There's an entry in my address book (version 4.0.6) that keeps adding a first name to an entry. I keep deleting it and somehow the first name keeps getting added. I suspected that Mail (2.1.3) was using auto-fill or LDAP to take the name it remembered in Mail and put it in Address Book by associating the email address, so I turned off LDAP and auto-fill and the problem still persists.
As an aside, I use mobileme to sync two macs (Address Book) and a pc (Outlook) so I really want to clear up this problem so the phantom entry does not keep getting transfered to all databases.
Should I delete some cache or something? One other problem (unsure if it's related) is that my Mail application always ask for my keychain password on startup - I have tried the keychain repair app and it seemed to work once, though this problem persists, as well.
Thank you in advance!

Yes. the dot in front makes it invisible.
Show hidden files...
Open the terminal and type or copy/paste:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true
Reverting to the default of NOT showing hidden files:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool false
Reboot or Force Finder quit needed for either change to show.
I'd move them both to the Desktop then reboot, if it works fine then you can Trash them.
