Sample editor does not play

I teach in an 18 station music tech lab. Recently several computers have had a problem with the Sample Editor. When they open a sequence in the sample editor the file will not play. The song line pointer moves, but no sound. This is happening in several computers.
My only solution has been to copy all the files and open a new song. And this only works if they are using the default arrange page, not their template arrange page.
Help appreciated.

Yeah, it's the known confusion between "tracks" and "Audio objects" - one Audio object can only play back one Audio file at a time no mattter how many tracks you have assigned to the same Audio object in your Arrange page.

Sample music does not play past 10 seconds?

I am hoping someone can please help.
When I am trying to listen to/sample music on the iTunes store, the sample song will not play past 10 seconds or a little more sometimes. Some sample tracks play just fine all the way through the entire sample time allotted (1 min. 20 sec.) It does not matter if I am logged into my iTunes account or not. It does not matter if I am using my desktop or my laptop (they are not linked on a network). I have taken both devices to Geek Squad to be checked; both are fine.
Have tried to resolve the issue with the help/support of iTunes professionals and they are not able to help. They gave me a telephone number to help for further assistance however, I do not wish to pay $49.99 for help. I never had any issues prior to about 3 months ago maybe..?? Cannot recall downloading any new software, etc.
Sometimes if I purchase a song that does not play the full sample (1 min. 20 sec.) the purchased song will not play in full either. I can email iTunes and they will re- download my purchase which plays properly after I have to download it again. It's not a HUGE deal, but it's EXTREMELY annoying.
No one can seem to solve this stupid mystery. Pleeeeaaaassseeee, someone save me. Many thanks.

What're you using to playback the MP3s? Is this Creative Mediasource? If so does it playback with WinAmp, Foober 2k or some other program?
Some versions of Creative Playcentre had a preview option which played the first so many seconds of an MP3. However you have an Audigy 2 ZS which is unlikely to have Playcentre.

Macbook Pro does not play audio part of video

Hi,
I have a Macbook Pro (early 2013 with OS 10.10.1).
A colleague sent me a video file, which was originally recorded in MTS format. The sound portion of it does not play on my machine, although it generally can handle MTS. I have a colleague with a Windows PC, for him the audio plays ok. I have another colleague with an older MBP, for him the audio also plays ok. But then I have two more colleagues with a newer MBP like me, and for none of us the audio plays at all. The strange thing is that I can open the file in various editors such as Premiere, Audition, or Logic Pro, and they would all show the waveform of the audio, even the VU meters react normally, but there still is no audible sound.
On the machines that play the sound, we have tried converting the video and exporting the audio portion into various other formats, but with the very same result. None of them play sound for me. This is extremely weird and we have no answer what could be the problem.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks a lot & best regards,
Rainer

Hi Eric,
thanks for the reply.
As I said, we had tried several editors and players, as well as all kinds of formats, using all kinds of converters, but so far to no avail.
The AAC codec is a common codec for the Mac, so there should be no need to convert it. I have videos with that codec that play ok. It already turned out that converting the video file to other formats does not make any difference.
But thanks anyway,
Rainer

Video does not play in Viewer or Canvas

Hi, I am new to Final Cut Pro. I just imported a couple of .mov files into FCP and have added them to a sequence. When I try to play the files on the Canvas, the video does not play (just shows the first frame). Same goes for Viewer window for an individual file. Help!

You can't really use H264 directly in Final Cut Pro without a lot of hassle.
Your audio has the wrong sampling rate. Digital audio for video is always 48000 kHz.
Use QuickTime Player or Compressor to export a copy of your files using the ProRes codec with the correct audio settings. Bring those into FCP.

Windows control panel routine to designate Elements 12 as my default editor does not list the program. It loaded OK and accepted the key. Your regular help line could not help. What to do?

Windows control panel routine to designate Elements 12 as my default editor does not list the program. It loaded OK and accepted the key. Your regular help line could not help. What to do?

Hi Robbie,
The editor program is NOT under the organizer path as you mentioned in your last message. The actual editor program is at the location I gave in message #1 i.e. as follows
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
The one under the organizer is actually the Welcome screen which you have probably set up to go directly to the editor.
If you go to the Open With screen I showed in message #3 and browse to the actual editor as given above, it should show up in your list.
If it doesn't, then Windows is playing up again - and we have to take extra steps.

Hello,
I'm trying to run a Text input program out of the Eclipse program and I keep getting this Editor does not contain a main type error - can someone help me

                    display += "X";
               System.out.println(display);
}Thanks

First, note that your program uses a non-standard class, "uwcse.io.Input" which is not available to us. Normally that is a show stopper - in this case, it's not, as I was able to eliminate its use.
Your program runs fine, so the error is an Eclipse error unrelated to Java.
You need to ask for help at an Eclipse support site, not here, as these forums are Java language forums.

ITunes player does not play songs since upgrading to 10.5.1; not fixed with 10.5.2 upgrade. What now?

After upgrading iTunes on my laptop to version 10.5.1, my player will NOT play any songs. My Library seems intact and no songs appear to be missing, but no song will play --not a song downloaded from iTunes Store, nor a song downloaded from a CD. I was hoping version 10.5.2 would fix this, but apparently not. Still not working. Songs do play on my iPod and on my iPhone and I can transfer songs from my laptop to my devices; I can also download Apps to my laptop through the iTunes Store, etc.--all other functions of iTunes seem to be okay, only the player is not working. (My laptop is an hp Probook with Intel i5 chip, Windows 7 Pro OS.)

Does it look like the song is playing at the top of iTunes? Can you see the timer moving?
Also, make sure the volume slider isn't all the way to the left (mute).

My disk drive does not play any original dvd or cd anymore, but the copies work fine, no matter which format. Do I need a new disk drive?

Hello All,
since last week my disk drive does not play any original DVD or CD anymore, but copied ones, no matter which format work fine. I am a bit confused that the copied ones still work.
Anybody experienced the same? Will I have to get a new disk drive? Unfortunately the warranty expired last month
Looking forward to your answers and thanks,
Yvonne

An external DVD drive from http://www.macsales.com/ may solve your problems.

DVD Player Does Not Play DVDs

I recently bought HBO DVDs and it does not play in my Apple system. I have an error that states, "this format is not supported" what is wrong? or codec issues?

Without going into a huge tirate about motive behind this from different companies. Just download this player and it should work for you.

Photoshop elements (photo editor) does not start

Adobe photoshop elements 12 organizer works, but adobe photoshop elements 12 editor does not work--it thinks it is a trial version

adobe photoshop elements 12 organizer works, but adobe photoshop elements 12 editor does not work--it thinks it is a trial version.HELP
If I try to register 4 boxes circle endlessly.Why should I have to register editor separately from organizer?

jaroFocb'15 wrote:
This is almost the same as the problem I had. I'm my case the Editor installed but not the Organizer! Adobe chat told me they no longer have chat or any other services for Elements 12. I guess they want people to buy their new Elements 13, but that leaves us in a bad place and doesn't say much for how Adobe cares about their customers After it moves on to their next version. I posted a message like yours over a week ago, and only got one email from an Adobe staff person, asking me to answer a couple of clarifying questions, but he never followed up on my response, so my problem is still unresolved. If you are luckier and are given a solution please let me know what it is -- it might work for me too, and I'd be very grateful! My email: [email protected]
Good luck.
Have you checked whether you have folder for PSE Organizer? It is normally at this location in Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1:
<C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Elements 12 Organizer>
If the folder is there then try double-clicking on the file called: PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe
If the folder isn't there at all then you need to re-install the package again using your original disks or from download from Adobe website. <Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10>
Hope this helps.

ITunes 11.1.5.5 on my Windows 7 PC does not play songs

After upgrading this version, the iTunes player bar graph does not move when I click the play arrow. Any ideas, please share.

Hello Raag Thaal,
I would be concerned too if my music didn't playback in iTunes. I found an article that specifically addresses issues with the music not playing and the playhead not progressing in iTunes. I recommend following the steps in the article below:

Video does not play on external plasma monitor

Forum
Here is my situation.
I received footage captured with a Panasonic HVX-200, the specs are:
29.97fps, Compressor: DVCPRO HD 720p 60, frame size: 960x720
I use an Intensity Pro video card for monitoring on a 42" Samsung LCD. When the Intensity Pro card is set to HDTV 720p 60 (1280x720) the video does not play on the LCD, all I get is a still frame. When the Intensity Pro card is set to Intensity NTSC 720x486, it plays on the LCD but it's not at its best quality. The footage always plays fine in the FCP Canvas and Viewer windows.
Any ideas on what may be going on?

YOu need to be using DVCPRO HD 720p60 8-bit 59.94...and whatever DECKLINK header that is there for the card. I use the Kona 3, so mine is AJA KONA DVCPRO HD 720p60 8-bit 59.94. 59.94 because no matter what frame rate you shoot, the video stream is a 59.94 stream to the monitor.
I hope that does it. No experience with the Intensity.
