Soundbooth CS4 will not record files

I am having an issue with Soundbooth CS4 not recording a file. I can open the record box and select my audio source (Alesis USB mixer in this case) but when I hit record nothing records. The record button does highlight however no audio is record or wave form shows.... Ive tested the setup (Alesis USB mixer into my MacBook Pro) with Audacity and it works fine, all settings are correct with the Soundcard and with OS X.. Ive been recording into Audacity, saving, then opening in Soundbooth to do processing. While this works, I would like to get my moneys worth out of Soundbooth and do all my recording, processing, and editing in the same app. I've attached a photo of the screen for you to review...
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Hmm. So when playback is fine but record just hangs, it's often a clocking issue. Is this device one of the MultiMix systems? If so, what version of OS X are you running and have you updated the drivers for the device? I know there were some problems with Alesis support on OS X 10.5.5 or 10.5.6 and they released some updated drivers on their website to address the problems. That would be my next recommendation.
If that fails, we may want to create a custom Aggregate Device with limited inputs to troubleshoot this. You can do this by launching "Audio MIDI Setup" (located at /Applications/Utilities/) and chooseing "Aggregate Device Editor" from the menu. Here you can create a new device and specify only a specific set of inputs and outputs from your Alesis, choosing which one you'd like to act as the Master Clock. After this is created, select the new device in Soundbooth's Audio Preferences and see if you get different behavior.
We do have an Alesis MultiMix 8 around here, but it's currently locked in a coworker's office who's on vacation until Monday.

Soundbooth cs4 will not launch in wondows 7

I have been using CS4 production premium since the end of February.
At that time I opened Soundbooth several times just to take look and learn the landscape. That was several months ago.
I am now at the point where I would like to learn Soundbooth and when I tried opening it, the application would launch to the point where it reads that it is " loading player media core.pm".
When it reaches this prompt the application goes away. It does not lock at that point, it goes away.
I have tried most of the other applications in the production premium package and they all launch.
I am running windows 7 on an HPz800

When it shuts down at this point, it's either a bad codec in Windows, which isn't very likely or you'd have seen sound problems elsewhere, or something in the SB install has become corrupted, namely the interface to the media core.
Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling SB from the Production Premium discs?

Cs4 will not convert files fron nef to dng

any ideas, have tried updates, reinstall, have windows 8 on computer.

You use the DNG converter to create DNG RAW files for Camera RAW Files like NEF, CR2, ORF etc...
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh

CS4 will not open NEF files. I installed DNG converter and it did not help.

CS4 will not open NEF files. I installed DNG converter and it did not help. Also, I tried to just "update" photoshop and it did not work. It is a new camera (Nikon 1).

Yes, you need CS6. DNG Converter is just a standalone tool to convert RAW to DNG files which then may be possible to open in older versions of Adobe tools.

Photoshop CS4 will not launch after installing Yosemite.

Photoshop CS4 will not launch after installing Yosemite. All the other CS4 apps open. I upgraded Java. Genius Bar could not get it to launch.

Here's the fix I found, by way of an explanation...
Snow Leopard prompted me on my first startup with the following error:
"There is a conflict with the _______ font file. This font file contains a font name that conflicts with a system font required by Mac OS X to display onscreen text. You should move this font file to the Trash."
The fonts it said were conflicting: Helvetica, HelveticaNeue.dfont, Lucida Grande, and Monaco. I figured Snow Leopard probably wanted to replace these fonts with newer versions, and so I clicked "Move to Trash" on all four.
Apparently 10.6 trashed these fonts but didn't replace them. This was causing Photoshop to crash on load.
So I restored my ~/Library/Fonts folder from a backup made just before upgrading and this time after a reboot I said "Allow Conflict" on all four dialog boxes and launched Photoshop... everything is back to normal!
Not sure what kind of "conflict" it's referring to, but apparently moving these font files to the trash as OS X prompted me to do broke a number of apps. Should I report this as a bug?
Thanks for the ideas!

Bridge CS4 will not Launch

Recently I tried to upgrade my Mac G4 Tower from OS 10.4 to OS 10.5 and it failed, even though I met all requirements. I had to reinstall 10.4 and now Bridge CS4 will not launch. It worked fine before. I uninstalled PS CS4 and reinstalled it, I tossed prefs & cash files, I reset prefs but still no luck. Any suggestions before I strip down the whole HD and start from scratch?

Any suggestions before I strip down the whole HD and start from scratch?
My first go would be to buy a new HD and replace this with your current in
the G4 and give a clean install of 10.5 to try if it will work.
If you downgraded without a clean install from scratch you sure will end up
with conflicting settings for applications.
You could try to back up all custom settings, actions, tools etc and then
deactivate the suite with erase serial number.
Then find the clean tool for Adobe
http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs5clean.html
and run this script, it says CS5 but to my knowledge it also finds files for
the CS3 and CS4 suite. Do a search for any adobe files from user and system
library and delete those also. Then install the CS4 suite again.
But again to be honest, you are using a computer that in current digital
terms dates from the 'stone age' and in now way can cope with the needs for
the use of digital files nowadays. It might be wiser to try and find a used
MacPro (or even a used iMac with intel processor) that will give you much
more profit in speed, disk space and processing instead of investing more
time and money in new disks and install procedures...

Photoshop CS4 will not Start

Hi, i'm usually quite responsible when it comes to making sure my system can coap with what i am asking of it, but i've ran into a problem that my computer just can't seem to get around, and means that photoshop cs4 will not start up.
I've been making .PAT files from a few pattern sourcebooks i've recently brought. The first two went fine, but a japanese sourcebook contained 250 reasonably hi-res pattern images which i put through an automated action which set them all as patterns for me for the Pattern Overlay option in beldning options. When i did this i noticed my computer started to slow down near the end of the process, so i saved out the .PAT file from them, and quit photoshop to free up over 2.10GB worth of data. I have 4GB on a 32bit XP, but only 2 and a half-ish is seen by windows due to the hardware installed aswell. Of course i plan to chnage this to 64bit soon, but anyway, when photoshop now is told to start up, it reads everything normally, then gets to "Reading Preferences", and crashes with an error report, which watching my task manager, i belive to be linked to memory shortage from having to load the patterns up.
I reset my preferences to see if it would set them all back to default and not read the added pattern files, but that made no difference. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!!

I'd look into doing a couple of tests:
1.) Move those PAT files elsewhere
2.) Eliminate all programs and Processes, that are unnecessary. Task Manager>Processes will give you a list of all that load, and you can probably stop half of them with no ill effects. I'd use MSCONFIG, so you can go back and easily activate them later.
3.) Reboot and see what happens.
Note: John's suggestion on the Presets folder might address #1, but I'd also physically Move them. It sounds like you're running totally out of resources to run PS, so Textures, and such, might be an issue too.
A question: how are your Scratch Disks setup and please tell us about your I/O sub-system, i.e. the internal HDD's, their size, free space, speed, controller type and how these internal HDD's are allocated. Especially tell us if you have any physical HDD's partitioned.
Good luck,

CS4 will not recognize my Canon HV20

CS4 will not recognize my HV20.   CS3 does.   Am I doing something wrong?

Great analogy!!
I have CS4 installed as a trial, with Cineform HD 4.1. Both have current updates.
The HV20 is recognized on CS3, and imports into CS3 without a problem.
The cineform intermediate file clips are not redlined in the timeline/sequence in CS3, but they are in CS4
after using HDLink from Cineform to capture the footage.
HDLink recognizes the camera.
CS3 recognizes the camera.
Project settings are 1920x1080 cineform HD
No matter what settings I use the camera is not recognized.
Firewire cable is good...works in CS3.
Also, Cineform PanZoom effect causes CS4 to crash, other cineform effects
work ok.
Exporting the project using media encoder in CS4 also ends in errors and
crashes with all different types of export settings.
Equipment:
     Core2/quad Q6600
     D974xbx2kr Intel board
     8 g memory
     Separate scratch disc raid 0 array
     Windows 7 64bit
     EVGA 8800GTS
Is Cineform not installed correctly? CS4 project settings menu has Cineform options listed, so its there. All of the Cineform effects are
there. I have not tried all of them, but Pan and Zoom definitely causes a crash, whereas cineform color effects work, cineform 32 bit dissolve
works...
Cineform support says its an Adobe problem......
I appreciate your help.

Audio track will not record - picture is fine PE9

PE9 audio track will not record. Tried in several projects - audio gets through to computer - but the audio is not being recorded. Help please.

Hi ATR
Was transferring a client's DVD-R into my Adobe PE9 to do some editing requested by client.
The audio from the DVD was coming through clearly on my computer speakers but when I finished tranferring I stopped recording and discovered the video track was fine but there was no audio track.
Tried recording said DVD into some of my other files on PE9 but same thing.
Since posting my cry for help I uninstalled PE9 and reinstalled it.
This appears to have fixed the problem as I am now transferring client's DVD-R once again.
A quick check after a few minutes revealed the audio track is now being recorded with no problems!
Thanks for your interest.
Kind regards
David

Adobe Acrobat 11 will not open files in IE 10.0.06

Adobe Acrobat 11 will not open files in IE 10.0.06. Problem started about 2 months ago. It can open older files on computer but cannot open or downloadd any from internet. Using Office 2010. Already spent an hour with my computer tech support under warranty. Please help identify issue. Thanks

As a web designer - IMHO, Internet Exploder is absolute garbage disguised as software. This (and thousands of other threads in this and many other forums throughout the web) is just more proof of that. I've used Firefox since 2002 when it was still called Mozilla. It does about a million things IE can't and won't, and does them better, faster, and more sensibly.
Microsoft KNOWS that most corporate workstations have Windows and most I/T departments forbid installation of unapporved software, including browsers, so (by a very slim margin) IE is still the most used browser in the world, but... that doesn't by any means make it the best choice. Because they know so many people are literally FORCED to use it at work, they will not make it more functional than they absolutely have to, because they don't care if people like it or not, when they have no other choice.
On a home computer, it's different, and that's why Firefox is just a fraction of a percentage point behind IE in worldwide use, and thanks to iPhones, Safari is rapidly climbing the numbers too.
Rather than trying to work around something that even Microsoft won't bother to fix, abandon their junk and go with Firefox, Opera, Chrome or Safari. It won't be long till you're glad you did.

3. Then click on Preferences in the drop down menu list.
4. Click on the Internet category on the left pane.
5. Now, make sure that Display PDF in Browser option is checked.
If above steps doesn't work then let me know which Browser you are using, may be we have to do some settings there.

Adobe Indesign & Illustrator CS6 will not open files off server after Mac Maverick update.

I updated to Mac OS X Maverick and all the sudden my InDesign and Illustrator will not open files off of my works network. I read somewhere about installing the new Java update may help fix it, but I tried it and it did not. I have restarted my computer and reset the connection to the server multiple times, but it does nothing.
The exact message I get is: "Cannot open the files "xxxx.indd" Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file may be missing, or the file may be open in another application" I know for a fact that it is not open in another application so it is not that. I have tried multiple files on the server as well.
For Illustrator, I try to open a file from the server and it just freezes and does not respond so I have to force quit.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Please help!

If you had asked before you did this I would have told you not to move to Mavericks unless you were prepared for problems. I’m not a proponent of upgrade installations for operating systems and there’s no way to eliminate that as the cause.
That said, before you start erasing the whole machine, try uninstalling CS6 and then reinstalling it. You might want to run the cleaner tool after the uninstallation.
