Sound files not importing

I have a problem while trying to import any sound file into flash CS5.5. I have not successfully done it since purchasing the program. I have tried opening the file in a sound editor and saving it, as well as trying to convert to a different sound type that is still Flash compatible. I'm trying with .mp3 and .wav files mostly. The error messages i receive are "Couldn't import C://*file location* or else i get"One or more files were not imported because there were problems reading them." I havent figured out a pattern as to why either might be showing or the connection to the file.

there may be something wrong with the mp3. sometimes i receive mp3 files from clients that i can't import into flash. when that happens, i drag the mp3 into iTunes, select the file, click advanced, click create mp3 version. iTunes creates a new mp3 file which i click and drag out of iTunes (which creates a copy of that new file) into my job folder. flash imports the mp3 i dragged into the job folder. then i go back and delete both versions out of iTunes.
note: if you don't see that option in iTunes, go to iTunes preferences > general > import settings > mp3 encoder

Files not imported because they could not be read. L5.3 on Mac from SD card in reader RAW photos

Files not imported because they could not be read. L5.3 on Mac from SD card in reader RAW photos and video visible when card inserted but not able to import. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue?

This message means that you don't have permission to write to the destination folder or disk drive. This is an operating system issue that can be resolved by changing permissions. And you can get plenty of information on how to do that by doing a web search for "change disk permissions".

AVI Files not importing into CS4 from DVD

I have the DVD disk for Premiere Pro CS4 Classroom In A Book and all the avi files have only sound and when imported into Premiere Pro CS4 a missing codec error warning appears and the file will not import.
I have to say this problem only occurs with my 27" iMac and not at all with a MacBook Pro or a 20" iMac. I have tried repeatedly to copy the DVD to the 27" iMac but the problem still persists.
*+Now this is the really weird bit+:*
Using Screen Sharing from another mac, the files are normal. All other avi files are also normal on the 27" iMac.
I wondered if anyone can throw any light on this problem?

Thanks ad2345.
I tried a different converter and also changed the playback preferences -which was down at 44.1kHz- up to 96kHz as I know the hi res files are supposed to be up at this level.
Not sure if it was one or the other of your suggestions, or both, but it has worked, so many thanks for your quick and effective help!

Source data lines don't play the file when you open them, you have to manually read data from the AudioInputStream and write it to the SourceDataLine...and you're not doing that.
You essentially walked into the bathroom, lifted the toilet seat and unzipped your pants...and wondered why the toilet wasn't making that "I'm peeing" sound. It's because you didn't start actually moving urine from your bladder to the toilet...

RAW files not importing correctly into iPhoto

I'm having problems importing .CR2 files into iPhoto. This didn't used to happen with Tiger, so I'm trying to figure out what the issue is. I'm using iPhoto 7.1.1 (354) with Leopard 10.5.1. I previously had 10.4.8.
I'm wondering if it's an issue with networking. Currently, my iPhoto Library is on a NAS because it's big (about 86GB) and I have RAID redundancy on the NAS. The original files are fine, but the imported files (not just the thumbnails) are corrupted. If there's a problem with data transmission, would that show as a data corruption?

Michael
I don't have a NAS myself and my ignorance of it and networking one is pretty much total. However, this thread
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1100543&tstart=0
records a discovery by one user using a similar system. It has to do with iPhoto using ':' for temp files and folders, and Samba having a problem with the character.
Hope that helps.

Why do some AVI files not import into iMovie?

Some of my AVI video does not import into iMovie. When I try, it gives me a non-specific error message. Is there a way I can import it? Other AVI files import with no problem.

AVI is a container, not a format; the audio and video in an AVI may use any codec, and some codecs can't be used in Mac OS X. Installing Perian may help.

Sound File not creating from simulate signal

I am trying to create a white noise sound file.
100 Hz to 8000 Hz 100ms long with a 10 ms ramp up and 10 ms ramp down.
I have been able to create the signal and sound in this vi.
Create sound - 8000 hz white noise
High pass filter - remove noise below 100 hz
ratio window - causes ramps
turn back into waveform - why oh why
normalize after filtering - for some reason the filtering changes the height of the whole waveform, if you have a solution to this......
play back sound
write sound to wav file.
The problem is, I can only get a file as short as 500 ms. I did this by changing the simulate signal options selecting 8000 samples at 16000 Hz.
If I select 1600 samples (the number of samples needed for 100 ms) some error occurs in the writing process, and the file thinks it's still open by labview. If I close labview, the file still does not work. How can I do what I need to do? Why can't I just reduce the number of samples to 1600 and get a 100 ms long waveform?

The Labview sound system is something that NI do not care much about. They actually neglect it. Errors reported in version 8.6 are still not fixed in Version 2010. And if they fix errors you can be sure some new errors will be introduced. What you can try to do is using the old sound system (used in 7.x) for writing your data to file. In your case it should have much to say. You will find the old sound system here ..\National Instruments\LabVIEW 20xx\vi.lib\sound\sound.llb
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted

Sound files not playing from inDesign SWF file

Using Dropbox file transfer, I'm sending a colleague an inDesign project as a SWF file - a flip book with audio. The files in Dropbox are the SWF Movie files, the HTML and the Resources folder. My colleague is trying upload these to his website. I presumed the sound files would go up via my colleagues FTP and Flash player would link to them. The sound files are functioning. Can anyone outline the procedure one should follow to get Flash to engage with this? Is there a better locale fo this thread?

That's what I thought too, but all files are there. I used to have numerous files (6-8) in a dropbox folder with all parts: cptx, htm, swf, js and the html would play fine by just clicking on the link. Once it started not working I made individual folders with each part of the file and included them into each seperate folder. Still not loading/opening. This is happening to everyone I send the link to. I've tried opening it in different browsers too.
Here is a link if anyone wants to see what happens: https://www.dropbox.com/s/460vq2nqu4dbwf1/courseconnect_training_2013.htm
Here is how I am including each part of the file in the actual folder:

First ~0.15s of sound file not being heard

I made a test sound file in LMMS which plays arpeggios. The first note in the file is not heard when I try to play it with aplay, mplayer or mpd. This means the first ~0.15 seconds are skipped. I tried exporting the file as a Microsoft WAV and an ogg vorbis with same results.
When I open the file with audacity, I can see and hear the first note:
Do you know why audacity plays the "real" sound file, while other programs (mplayer, mpd, aplay) don't?
1. If it's a problem with those specific programs, is there a program that will play a sound file from the beginning from the command line?
2. If it's something I've set up wrong, what do I need to fix?
I'd like to be able to play a very short sound (about 0.1s), but those programs only play silence!

You have the same problem as me and another user.

Flash CC sound files not playing

I have a mp3 file on a layer. I stop the fla file abuout 20 seconds in, but when I click on the play button to continue, the mp3 files starts from the beginning, not from the current location. What do I need to change so the sound file will play from its current location? Thank you.

Rob, I tried your recommendation, it still will not sync. I'm in the middle of my fla, and when I start from (ex. keyframe 500), the mp3 plays from the beginning (keyframe 1). This issue is intermittent. Some fla I have no issue, then others this problem happens.I end up using an older version of flash to do most of the work, then I complete the finishing parts in Flash CC.

"Files not imported because they could not be read" from SD card.

Trying to import photos from my disk. Was able to download 2/3 of chosen files. Came back to do the last 3rd, and a message pops up, "The following files were not imported because they could not be read." then listed the file names that were not imported. Thought maybe it was the card, or a fluke. New disk today, same issue. Any resolution ideas

Usually, that error message comes up because the files couldn't be written. Yes, I know, it's weird.
Generally, it's because you are trying to write to a folder or a disk that is protected some way. You need permission to write to that folder, and on Windows 7, you need to have ownership of that disk and folder--running as an administrator isn't enough.

Lightroom 3 Raw Files not Importing

I have a Nikon d3200 and I am using Lightroom 3. My raw files are not importing. Do I need some sort of plugin? Im not sure where to find the plugin on Adobes site...ugh!!! #frustrated

You would need the FREE Adobe DNG Converter (version 7.1 or later) to convert your D3200 raw photos to DNG. The DNGs will import into Lightroom.

FIles not importing fully on PrPro Trial

We are giving PrPRO a try, and so far we like what we are seeing. However we have run into a challenge. We have a series of HD (720p, 1080i) files in AVI that we are trying to import. Some are MPEG2 and others are DV. We can import and process smaller files just fine, but larger ones are getting truncated on import. If we try to import a clip over 3 or 4 minutes, we only see 3 or 4 minutes in the source monitor. The slider and video stops on the source. There appears to be no rhyme or reason as to why only a portion of the clip is being loaded. I am not sure if it is a limitation imposed by file size (the larger files are between 50 and 90GB), or a time limit imposed by the trial version. We are nowhere near capacity on system memory (RAM), perhaps it is a caching issue?
Does anybody have any idea? Is there some setting that is preventing the entire clip from importing, some cache setting or other that needs adjusting. Thanks!

I had read those limitations, however I am not sure how they apply?
You originally posted:
Some are MPEG2
The trial version does not import MPEG files, hence my response.
Cheers

Files not importing

I am getting a number of files that won't import into my iPhoto 09. I can't see anything odd about them. For example the last one that wouldn't go in was 8 bit, rbg, jpg. The error message simply says "The following files can not be imported." What are the reason file won't import?
Thanks.

Thanks for the quick response.
Long story short - my computer crashed when i was upgrading to leopard and ilife'09. So now that both are installed on a fresh computer, i launched iphoto '09 which didn't have anything in it. It automatically directed me to import pictures from the iphoto library on my backup/external hard drive. When I clicked okay, it then imported all those pictures and created an iphoto '09 library. But like i said, all the pics ending with _2.jpg would not import.
I haven't tried the open and save with preview trick yet but will try that. I worry that that is the only solution because I have about 3300 pictures affected by this problem.
Thanks for your help TD.
