So many weird things... Why me?!

Ok, I migrated to 3.0 (3.0.1 to be exact), prior to that, I got myself a brand new machine with an Intel I7, 3Gb of good RAM with an ASUS MB and all other kind of goodies (a pretty expensive PC). I have been using an M-Audio Delta-66 PCI along with the OMNI I/O breakout box for years now, my Mic is hooked directly on the I/O that supplies with phantom power and all I do is Mic recordings...
Like I said in a previous message, I 've been using Audition 1.5 for some time and from time to time while everything seemed ok whilst recording, the end result was a voice along with screetchy kind of sound on top of it... When it was doing it, it did it even with Cool Edit... If I did a PC restart or sometimes even restarted the application and re-recorded the segment, everything was ok... Lately it was doing it a lot, resulting in much wasting of my time, so I thought it was the 1.5 that had something wrong with it and decided to move to 3.0...
In my newly bought and freshly installed WinXP Pro system with SP3 and all possible MS updates, I installed Audition 3.0 and started working with it, feeling like my screetchy recordings were a thing of the past....(coming back to that a bit later)... The first thing I noticed working with 3.0 was a screen jerk, not exactly right after the app started but few seconds later, the whole screen jerked a little bit for half a second and then it was ok... but not only that (screenwise), another funny thing, is that it messes up the foreground window with itself... What I mean, I have an open word document which contains what I want to record, so I start Audition, hit record and then click on the Word window... As soon as I start speaking, Audition Window kinda mixes up with the word window and then I have to click on either one in order to fix it. (Do you know of a way to record a video of my screen so you can see it too??!!)
So I thought it was my VGA card (NVidia 8600GT) so I upgraded its drivers with the latest, still the same results, screen jerk and window messes...
I stayed like that for about 2 weeks and finally I convinced myself that the VGA card is faulty and I will have to buy a new one, so I did, spent $150 and got myself an ATI (not NVidia anymore!!) Radeon 4830 (good quality and high perf card), installed it with the latest drivers from their site, I was positive that now the screen problems are gone... Guess again, same exact things! Total Disappointment and waste of money too!
Coming back now to the screetchy recording... My M-Audio drivers (ASIO) are the latest of course, the previous PC was doing it and now after 40 recordings or so, the day before yesterday the new PC with 3.0.1 did it for the first time too!
I'm really wondering, noone has had any similar problems?? Am I the only one with these problems?? Why am I having them? Any ideas?
Regards,
Ted

Ted I feel your pain.
Replaced PC & upgraded OS - only thing still the same is the Delta - I would certainly start looking there.
Also I have had problems with video - not sure if it was the Nvidea but It was certainly unacceptably "slow". ATI was a positive move - I did the same.
IMO I would make sure you have the latest mobo drivers. Make sure your onboard soundcard is disabled. Check the buffer settings on the asio driver. Edit->Audio Setup - Control Panel. Then if no good I would beg, borrow or steal another audio input device to test.
PS Why You? Many of us all get a turn at some point :-(

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?

I have an iphone 4 that I recently upgraded to IOS 7, and now I cant drag music to it. It says "preparing to update" eternally. Weird thing is... I have an iphone 3s that is IOS 6, and it takes new music all day. arg.

I have tried direct connecting the iphone 4, via wifi, everything. I hate itunes with a passion, but it seems to be a necessary evil. I dont know why I would have no trouble with my iphone 3. I am using the same technique for both phones. Find the music I want in the library and drag it to the iphone. Works on IOS 6, not IOS 7.
WHat else should I try?

Hi jeffmbellucci,
If you are having issues dragging music to your iPhone 4 after a recent upgrade to iOS 7, you may want to verify that the phone is still set to "Manually manage music and videos." You may find the following article helpful:

Weird thing happening with my iCal

A weird thing is happening with my iCal, I don't know if it's a bug... Today I was printing the months of September and October with all my appointments, and when I was checking October I have noticed that 14th was printed as Saturday and as Sunday too, and 15th became Monday, 16th became Tuesday, and so on.
But in my computer screen the calendar was correct: 14 Saturday, 15 Sunday, 16 Monday, etc.
I cannot figure out what could be happening and how to solve this.
Any idea?
Any help will be appreciated.
PowerMac G4 1.5 AGP Graphics Mac OS X (10.4.7) 1 GB RAM

Today a friend of mine said that he had a similar problem with iCal when printing the month of October, and that he fixed this by changing the Time and Zone setting in System Preferences. When he changed the setting from Sao Paulo, Brazil to Buenos Aires, Argentina (the both have the same time zone) the problem was solved.
Today I did this and my problem dissapeared too. But I would like to know why is this happening.

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.

I'm reading way to many bad things about the new Lion... is it worth it??

I'm reading way to many bad things about the new Lion... is it worth the upgrade and hassle or will this push me back to Google for e-mail, calendars and contacts? I love my Mobile.Me... Why change whats working for an OS thats not working ?

The more you read these forums the more you'd mistakenly think that Lion is generally a problem.
For every person who comes here with a problem there's many thousands who are running Lion hassle-free, including me.
I've used MobileMe since the beginning and have happily moved to iCloud, There's a couple of things you may miss from MobileMe in the short term but those things like iWeb hosting are going away anyway in June.
I suggest you join the millions of Happy Lion Users. Just back up your data in case you absolutely need to do a clean install back to Snow Leopard.

Weird thing about volume

I cannot realize why, everytime I boot my MBP, the volume is set to 75% instead of 100% .
The weird thing comes when I say that, before turning it off, the volume was set to 100% .
In a simple way, I was thinking that OS X 10.6.4 restored the last configuration that I left before the last turn-off.
Why isn't this happening? Is something going wrong on my MacBook Pro?

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 happening on this Mac Mini

Hey all,
Got an intel mac mini with tiger on it. We have some weird things going on here.
There is a black box that floats around and on most occations it goes around what his highlighted. I tried to see if this was an accessability option, but couldnt find anything on it.
Also, in the Apple menu, i have 2 restarts, 2 shutdowns, & 2 logouts.
Any clue on whats going on?

Hi Brian,
in order to fix the duplicate problem you have to reset the launch service database. Download Cocktail, OnyX or Tiger Cache Cleaner, they should fix it for you.

Weird things happen in Edit view...

Some (but NOT all)of my photos do weird things when you Double-Click them to get into Edit view. Most of my photos zoom in to their appropriate sizes and are viewed 'normally', however, other photos initially come up in their normal zoomed size then in a second of two, zoom in again several times larger than they should be, and the colors will pop your eyes out, like a reverse negative or something and the photos gets all 'chunky' or 'blocky'. Fortunately, only a small number of my photos zoom in wildly like this.
Anyone seen this, have a clue what causes it and most importantly, can it be fixed to STOP doing this?
Thanks

Well, I used to see this problem way back in the v7 days of the purple app. It's not an FCP exclusive problem, though I have seen it happen one time with Final Cut.
Glad to help you solve this one, Jamie. You can help others who come to this thread later, by marking the Helpful & Solved posts in the thread. That way, when others are searching for solutions to this problem, they can scan down quickly and easily to those posts, and see the yellow and green stars.
I've posted this request on a number of threads, both those I've helped or solved, and those I had no helpful contributions for. I'm just trying to help make the new forum as usable as ut can be.

Weird thing going on with Expose and Dock

Weird things have been going on with my Macbook Pro. It's been like this for several months and it's very annoying. What happened was that at some point during using computer, the dock and the expose will go on doing strange stuff together, for the dock, it's the magnification not working properly, when i move my mouse over any application icon, the magnification didn't come up, but if I click on it it will, however, after having clicked on the icon it will not doing the jump motion like it usually does, what it does is that it's going to stay being magnified, even if i point the mouse elsewhere. That's the dock. The problem with the expose is with the all window view, where when i turn it on everything seems to be normal, but if i move my mouse around, anywhere, each window that has been shown in the "all window" view will keep flashing until i dont move my mouse again. And that's the expose problem. Two other problems that occur along with the annoying issue mentioned earlier is that say when you click on the apple icon on the top, usually when you move down along there will be a blue stripe as a background to the words like "About this mac", "System preferences" etc, but when the problem occurs it will not do that. And if you have any window opened that has a scroll for horizontally, it'll keep forcing me to the right hand side of the bar, even if i drag it to the left it'll still go straight to the right hand side automatically. These are the problems that log-out-then-log-in won't resolve, needs to be restarted, i cannot work under this kind of situation, and it's getting really frustrating although i really like my mac still. I'm not sure when it started to do this, one time i thought maybe an application like p2p may disrupt the system so one time i only had calendar, itunes working still it happened again. I have a macbook pro A1226, has been updated to 10.5 and went through all the software update already... still... Does anyone have have the similar or maybe exact same problem as I do here? Please let me know. If you know how to fix it even better, I'd appreciate that. Thanks.

I opened my iPhoto library today which was stored on an external hard drive and several of my videos now will not play at all. The weird thing is that each file shows a duration of 1 second and when I open them it just shows one frame. What the !&%$#@ Where did my original video files go?

Sounds like a good plan, you can never be to safe and having a second External HD is safer than one.
The only thing that I would do different, is setup the 3T as my TimeMachine Backup and then erase and move my Photos, Videos and perhaps even iTunes Media to the 1T. That way you will have room to backup both the Internal Hard Drive and the 1T External Hard Drive to the 3T using TimeMachine.

I bought my Iphone 5 a week ago, now suddenly my sound is gone when i play games, i checked everything and the weird thing is that when i put my headphone in i CAN hear the sound when in games, also he just plays music whitout my headphone. What could it

Hello so as you can see in my question i have troubles with my sound
I cant hear annything of my sound in game and i did check everything
The weird thing is that when i put my headphone in i do hear the sound
Also my music plays without my headphone
Wat can it be ? Pls help !

Ok, a little clarification then, you can hear music fine with the speaker and headphone? You can hear a game's music fine with the headphone but not with the speaker? Do you get the notification sounds ok with the speaker?
If the speaker sound is acceptable with everything except the game then there is a problem with that game and its settings.
If that is the case, you might want to try deleting the game and then downloading and reinstalling the game to see if that helps the problem.

I restored my iPod in the middle of a download, now it can't do anything but restore, and when i restore it, the screen gets stuck on weird things, like the apple screen or purple or yellow. how do i get it un-stuck?

i restored my iPod in the middle of a download, now it can't do anything but restore, and when i restore it, the screen gets stuck on weird things, like the apple screen or purple or yellow. how do i get it un-stuck?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Lines on LCD and a Weird Thing

Today, after I've applied the invisibleSHEILD to my iPod Touch I started to notice lines or streaks on the screen. There's about 8 of them and at different angles I see different colors. Such as the one that runs right across the music App. At one angle it's light orange and light brown and at another it's dark orange and dark brown. They're happening every where. When I turn my iPod completely off they're still there but instead they're in shades of gray. So I supposed that it's the liquid from the invisibleSHEILD but the lines stop at the end of the clear part of the glass, not the black part.
As for the weird thing after I finished putting on the invisibleSHEILD I could push the bottom-left corner of my iPod Touch screen into the device almost a millimeter. All the other corners were fine and stable. The screen was actually going inside!
