Starting new topic, can't play previews

Thanks to everyone I have buttons up the wazoo now. Problem is I cannot get the clip to play when I preview. Even the simplest basic menu.
1) Create Menu
2) Import timeline
3) Drag normal video button, non-animated
4) Link button to timeline
5) Preview from here
6) Menu opens with button(s)
7) Click any button
8) First frame of clip displays, sits there for a few seconds
9) Preview screen goes black, all controls on preview panel grey out
Is there something obvious (except to me) that I am NOT doing???
Thanks again for all the previous help!

Glenn,
Obviously your boolean skills are better than mine, as I was drawing blanks on all of my searches.
OK, lets break your Asset apart and see if we can eliminate any Audio problems. Back in your NLE, Export your Video (only) as a DV-AVI (remember, uncheck Audio, as we want
b ONLY
Video). We want nothing but an elemental Video stream. You also do not need to Export the full NLE Timeline for this test. If you're using Premiere, you can move the WAB (Work Area Bar) to the head of your Timeline and drag its right point to, say 3 mins. That should give us enough to work with.
Import that as a Timeline into Encore2 and link your Button to that Timeline. Does this Preview correctly?
Note: I'd do a Save_As of your Project to work on, just in case something goes wrong. You do not need to delete your existing Timeline. Just let it go to the "Orphanage" for now. If this works, you can then clean out this "test" Timeline and we can work with the Audio aspect. If this doesn't work any better, we'll see what can be causing the problem with the Video.
If you have a link to the previous post with a similar problem, please add that, as I'd like to refresh my memory of what was suggested and tried.
Thanks,
Hunt
PS please refresh my memory a bit. Back in your NLE, what are the sources of the Clips that you are editing? What are their specs/CODEC's, etc. You can use G-Spot (www.headbands.com/gspot) to gather all of that data. This info might not be needed, but if your Video-only does not Preview, it might help us track down the problem. Also, your system's specs, especially your video card and I/O setup might yield some useful info - just in case.

The whole point of this forum is sharing issues and receiving help. So why don't I have a "post new discussion" button on any of the support forums? That leaves me only the option of hijacking an existing thread trying to get help. The online support service doesn't work and Apple doesn't allow ordinary customers to contact them after a few months (when most problems will happen).
Is the lack of a posting button inherent in all users or have I somehow incurred the wrath of Steve Jobs :)?

New iTunes can not play music, can not locate songs in my music library

I only use iTune on my PC, so this Should be simple. I downloaded a new version of iTunes when prompted to do that. With the new version, I cannot play my music. It asks me to locate songs, but nothing helps locate them. I put ogver 4000 songs on my hard drive and now, thanks to going with the prompt, I cannot play any of them. What can this low tech 68 year old music-lover do to listen to his songs once again?

I'm afraid the problem is more widespread than just iTunes and the update didn't fix it. There's a thread out there about users not getting any sound/audio in Lion after wake from sleep or just having it idle for a long while.
Hopefully, Mac OS X 10.7.2 will fix the issue.
Thanks!

With new upgrade, can I play music to Ford sync with bluetooth?

The new upgrade 3.0 is fantastic. Can I play music on the Ford Sync system or do I need the 3G?
Thanks for your advice.
Best,
Tom

the original iphone, even with the 3.0 OS does not support the A2DP bluetooth profile... therefor you can not stream audio to the sync. you can however USB it to the sync and copy music over (I think) I don't have a sync, but wish I did...

Can't play (preview) clips in event browser. Spacebar, play button, etc. will not work.

I can't get any form of playback while accessing clips in the Events Browser. I'll highlite a clip, hit spacebar, and it refuses to play. I'll highlite a clip, hit the play button and still get nothing. The playhead sits there, whereas before I had no problem previewing clips in the events browser. I've tried to reset my preferences in FCPX, even downloaded a preference manager to trash corrupted files, but that still didn't do the trick.
Is there a bug in 10.0.8 FCPX for playback? Anybody else have this problem? Its rather frustrating when I'm dealing with a lot of clips. I don't want to drag each individual file down into the timeline for playback...

I've had this only a few times – all in earlier versions–and quitting/relaunching FCP cleared it up.
What about JKL? Does that work?

Authorization not working on new computer; can't play music!

I moved all of my music from my old computer to my new computer, and I did so using my iPod and the instructions that Apple provides on their website. All of the music shows up in iTunes on the new computer, but it won't play. I get a pop-up indicating that I need to authorize this computer to play whatever song I have selected, but even after it tells me "Authorization Successful, You have authorized two out of five computers," I cannot play the music. I have tried everything humanly possible to fix the problem, to no avail. Can anyone help? This is very frustrating.

Suedarn,
When you bought and downloaded the episodes, you got what you paid for. When you goto another computer you can't redownload them, you have to transfer the file from the old PC to the new one or make a backup of what you bought so when your PC crashes, you can reload the PC with a backup.
If you only saved the "Programs" folder and not the "My Music" folder where iTunes puts all its bought songs at, then your most likly out of luck. You can try to email the Music storee to see if they will set up a "Re download" of your lost episodes and download them using "Check for purchases" under the advance menu in iTUnes. Just keep in mind there under no obligation to do so, it states on there site if you loose it you have to buy it again. I had a system failer and emailed them and LUCKLY they offered a re download option for me to get my songs back and I made a backup ASAP
Heres a link to email the music store http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/musicstore/download/

New Topic: warning icon in Preview Application

while converting a image from a tiff format to a jpg format in the Preview Application there is a yellow triangle with a exclamation point that i understand is a warning and i do see that the file size that was in tiff does change to a smaller, "substantially" smaller file size in jpg format
The OS is a 10.5.8 and all is up to date on the MacBook. I keep the machine off line for web production, except to update misc apps.
Question: What is the warning about, there is not a message with the warning icon.
I have tried to find a documentation for Preview at Apple, nothing exists.
I could not find a topic of discussion for Ordinary Applications so i placed this topic here.
Thank you.

Hi,
Your JPEG will be quite a lot smaller than the TIFF file, that's normal. Don't know what the warning is,
maybe it is telling you that changing from TIFF to JPEG is compressing the file and losing quality.

OLD: Started new Topic: See: New P6N 650i and Overclocking

Hi Forum.. Just built a new box with following components:
Intel C2D-E6400
MSI P6N 650i SLI-FI mobo
Patriot Extreme Performance DDR2-800 (2.2v) memory/2gig
Rosewill RCX-Z775-SL 92mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler
Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3320620AS HDD
XFX PVT80GGHE9 GeForce 8800GTS 320MB PCIE GPU
COOLER MASTER eXtreme Power 650W Power Supply
COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 CAC-T05-UB Black ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Installed WinXP Pro with sp2 and system is up and running (without a hiccup) quite nicely... PCAlert4 shows: CPU=20c, Sysytem=25c, CPU Fan=2170... CoreTemp shows: Core#0=32c, Core#1=31c.... My guess is that these numbers are good.
I have built quite a few builds over the last 15 years but mostly on the AMD platform and have "never" attempted to overclock... I was thinking of trying it with this new build as it seems, from this forum, I have all the right components... I would like to try a modest O/C maybe up to 3ghz... I went to the bios and the Cell menu and tried to make some changes but some items will not allow you to change their values and to be quite honest, I'm not sure "what" values need to be changed and "where", to attain an O/C of 3ghz... I appoligize for my ignorance in overclocking but I really do not want to screw up this system... I was hoping that one of you nice gents out their with the same basic components could point me in the right direction... "Thanks in advance", JD <aka: Peckrhead>

mis dos centavos,
I am another pleased owner of this fine board. Proud to say it!
Great layout, install was a breeze (though MSI is in serious need of a native English speaking tech writer), basic setup went alright,
though I still have issues (probably due to the crappy utilities); but performance and ease of OCing is great.
Anyhoo, I've been working on/with this cheat-sheet
Here's a short version-
*Update BIOS to the latest version or not; there are differing opinions on the need to, you have to do
the cost/benefit|risk analysis.
Part 2. In BIOS Setup
[ ]   (1) On first boot enter BIOS Setup and select - 'Load Optimized Defaults'
** If you've never seen or figured out how to enter BIOS Setup, you probably need to learn more before
thinking about overclocking. Think about it.
(2) Save and exit.
ON REBOOT ENTER BIOS Setup again AND SET THE FOLLOWING:

[ ] *b. Memory Clock (MHz) [ 533 ] 400 - 1400
   [ ] *c. Adjust CPU Ratio     [ 8 ] per CPU
edit/
     *CPU 'speed' = ('FSB Clock' / 4) x 'CPU Ratio';
     ie. , 1064 / 4 = 266.6 x 8 = 2128MHz core 'speed' (E6400 spec).
*(b) is DDR speed or frequency. Since 533 / 2 = 266.65 MHz; result
should be 1:1 FSB|DRAM ratio. if 'System Clock Mode' is [MANUAL],
(b) can be any speed supported by RAM and FSB|DRAM ratio may vary.
/edit
[ ] 4. >Advanced DRAM Configuration (leave all at 'Auto' OR)

*Mine read: 100 | -- | 2.1 | 1.25 | 1.5 | 2% |
As you increase the FSB, the RAM will follow in the pattern of 1:1
shown in BIOS.
When 1FSB:1RAM is overclocked above the rated frequency of your RAM
use the following values: Timing: 5-5-5-15; vDIMM: 2.#V, max per DIMM.
e.g. DDR2-667 4-4-4-12 1.9V operating at ~400Mhz will need to be set
to 5-5-5-15, 2.1 - 2.2V.
5. Save settings and reboot.

TOC entry without new topic

I have a multi-chapter project in FrameMaker 12 that I've linked in RH11. I use RH to auto-generate the TOC. The first page of each topic has the first two headings from each FM chapter, with the remaining headings starting each remaining topic. I've done this by creating and mapping two paragraph styles in FM. H0, H1, and H1A. I use FM to auto number them like this:
100 H0 Chapter title
101 H1A Topic 1
102 H1 Topic 2
103 H1 Topic 3
In RH Project Settings / FM conversion settings, I set H1 to start a new topic, which creates a corresponding TOC entry. I've set H1A to not start a new topic because my client wants it on the same page as the first topic. However this of course doesn't create a TOC entry. This makes it look like the H1A entry is missing from the document.
Is there a way to have RH include a FM paragraph in the TOC, but exclude it from creating a new topic?

I already had the TOC in FM, along with the index and glossary. I'm transitioning my client to publish online, but they want to keep the PDF publish option. When I brought the FM content to RH and started styling the Responsive HTML5, I wanted to keep the first two H1 sections on the first page of each topic and have the remaining FM heading start new topics. So I created the H1A format in FM and used that for the 2nd heading in FM. Then in the RH conversion settings I set H1 to start a new topic, but not H1A. But the H1A was excluded from the imported and published TOC. I mistakenly assumed that was because I didn't have it set to a new topic also. Once I read the responses here I backed up and realized that it was actually because I didn't add H1A to the FM TOC after I created that para format in FM. Stupid mistake.

TS1717 Since I downloaded the new itunes, I cannot watch previews to movies. so frustrating, can anyone help?

I just downloaded the new itunes and cannot play the previews in the itunes store, they start but after a few seconds just quit. so frustrating.
can anyone tell me what I can do?

I recently hit the update itunes button ever since then when i try to go into my itunes store i see the labels for example the movie titles but no pictures. When I hit the button to rent or buy a movie or any thing elese I get an error message with the number (309) saying I can't access itunes store try again later.
Is that a 306 rather than a 309?
If so, try the following procedure.
(1) In your Start menu, select Control Panel.
(2) Open the Internet Options control panel. (You may need to select Classic View on the left before you can see Internet Options.)
(3) Click the Connections tab.
(4) Click the LAN Settings button.
(5) Uncheck "Use a Proxy Server for your LAN". (If that option is already unchecked, try checking and then unchecking it.)
(6) Click OK to exit the LAN Settings dialog.
(7) Click OK to exit the Internet Options control panel.
(8) Restart the PC and try connecting to the Store again.

Pre Lion iPhone videos show Thumbnail but can't play - new video generates Unsupported Video Format popup, no thumb but will play via quicktime

This is really frustrating -
Over the last year I have been uploading all of my photos and occasional iPhone video to Aperture 3 (latest version all patches in place).    Aperture would recognize the video, create a thumbnale and otherwise treat it nicely.
Now, since upgrading to Lion I find that though I can "see" the old videos in their folders or projects and the associated Thunbnale, I can't play them - I either get the spinning color wheel and then nothing or Aperture will crash and report an error relating to Quicktime (sorry don't have an error code at the moment).
If I try and export a video I can - but what I get also can't be played by Quicktime - just a black screen. When I hit Play - the scroll bar moves, but there is no sound or video.
From Final Cut Pro X, I can imoprt this exported video file and see that it appears complete - but FCPX uses it's own playback elements.
If I shoot a new video on my iPhone, I find that I can see the thumbnale in the import option of Aperture when looking at the phone, but once imported I get a Popup telling me that it is an "Unsupported Video Format" - "Do you want to open this video clip with QuickTIme Player?"   If I hit Open then the clip does play, but the thumbnale remains a black square with the warning Exclamation Point.
I have also had some issues with Lion Mail crashing when trying to play a video made on an iPhone and sent to me via email.   Seems more likley to be a Lion / Quicktime issue then an Aperture and Mail issue - but who knows.
I spent 2.5 hours of quality time with the Genius bar this morning. We reinstalled Lion and after that the suggestion was to trash and re-install Aperture, but that would require my disc and of coruse a trip home.   Mail doesn't seem to still have the issues with iPhone movies that it had - but Aperture is still not happy.
Did as instructed and dragged Aperture 3 to the trash, did the empty trash option, restarted and reinstalled.   Then did a software update to catch the new update for Aperture and it found that.   Interestingly when I did start it up after that it DID NOT ask me for my key - so clearly some elements were left over.
Now upon retstarting Aperture 3 once again I find that I can still see my old movies (their thumbnails show up) but I still can't play them.   The new test movie is there but still generates the popup regarding it being an Unsupported Video Format.
And it's not just my iPhone.   Video sent via email from another iPhone can play as an attachment, or when dragged and dropped to the desktop, but once imported into Aperture is once again proclaimed to be an Unsupported Video Format.
Hoping someone out there knows how to resolve this....

ON WINDOWS 8 LAPTOP: Firefox CANNOT play any video on Yahoo News, seriously, this is so freaking sad, Please help...., it just can't play. Please HELP.

To many people, this might sound like a Joke when i say Firefox can't play any video on Yahoo News on any Windows 8 Laptop Touchcreen, but trust me, I have tried everything; re-downloading Java, Flash-player, Adobe...etc, I even called Microsoft Support and my Computer company but they all said this is Firefox drama they should be able to fix the issue. Please help. I have three Computers and all can't play any video on Yahoo News, (Youtube is playing great, no issues). Please help.

Is this the problem where it shows the loading icon (circling, circling) but never starts playing? Other users have reported that as well.
This is some standard guidance that addresses the most common issues with the Flash player plugin. I'm sure you've seen some of it before, but just in case:
(1) Make sure all recorders/downloaders that interact with Flash media are as up-to-date as possible, or disable them.
(2) Disable hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox and in Flash
(A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
(B) In Flash, see this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
(3) Disable protected mode (Windows Vista/7/8)
See this support article from Adobe under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]
Since you mentioned touch, does it matter whether you interact with the player using the mouse or your finger?

Can you set live bookmarks to show topic replies rather than new topics (or is that a setting of the site/forum)?

I have live bookmarks for some forums, blogs, and news pages on my bookmarks toolbar and only one site shows topic replies rather than new topics in the dropdown bar. Can I configure the forum ones to show topic replies or is that a setting configured by the website itself?

Nope. This is a common request, for some form of preview, typically as Outlook does it. Almost equally common are requests to have absolutely no preview whatsoever in case something nasty happens.
Many of us think the Message Pane below the thread list is perfectly adequate for a quick scan of message content.
