Strange glitch ... very

Hi all,
I encountered a very strange "glitch" today: whenever I try to dbl-click a clip in the timeline to open it in the viewer the little tabs (forgive me, I don't know what they're called) that indicate the destination audio tracks (usually A1 and A2) simply disappear.
I tried deleting prefs and repairing disk permissions to no avail. When I reopen the project the audio tabs are there but on dbl-click in the timeline and they're gone. Also creating a new sequence/project did not make a difference. I also discovered that the same thing happens when i drag a clip (any clip) into the viewer. It doesn't matter wether the audio tracks are locked, muted or whatever. Sometimes (but only sometimes) when I move a clip a bit along the timeline the little tabs magically re-appear ... ghost in the machine?
The worst thing about this is of course that since the tabs are gone, no target tracks are set, hence no audio gets into the timeline.
The project is DV PAL anamorphic, shot in HDV and downconverted from the camera. FCP 6.0.4 as part of FCS 2. All the other components (DVDSP, Compressor, Livetype, etc) work just fine as far as I can tell.
... btw, I just did a clean install of everything a week ago, so I'm really at a loss here.
any help greatly appreciated

Hi there and welcome to the community,
That's weird...
Could you try doing a full reinstallation of the app, including removing your local cache/data files.

Render problem - strange glitches after rendering in new PP 2014.1

Hi there,
I've updated my Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2014 to 2014.1 and since then all my renders have strange glitches.
Both old (converted) and new projects. It's second day I can't render any usefull file. I've deleted media cache, tried not using any plugins nor effects at all and yet, it still doesn't work properly.

I've found, that happens only when I use lumetri looks in the sequence.
Any idea how to fix this?

Strange glitch in music files

I did the senuti thing and got all of my music, but when I put it onto my new computer there were strange glitches. All songs still start but a lot of them skip to the next song aftr 10 seconds or so. I can manually go past th glitch and hear the rest of the song, which is wierd. . .just to be rid of this problem is there a way I can search for the song in my library with said glitches? any suggstions would be welcome

Go to your iTunes preferences under the section "Playback". See if there's anything weird there. I would recommend of manually putting your songs into your iTunes library rather than using software.

Strange glitch with keynote and iPad

I have been using Keynote files created on my Mac and transferred to my iPad3 to go over problem sets in my physics classes. I tecently ran into an odd glitch. Sometimes, an arrow pointing upward on the original slide, shows reversed on the iPad, and vice-versa. I don't see a clear pattern yet of when it happens. Has anyone seen it and have an idea of what is going on?

Actually, all of my builds (scale, scale up, wipe in a bunch of diections, appear) work fine. This phenomenon happens on some vertical arrows in the absence of any builds. It really is odd. As I'm importing the file, it shows a preview with the correct orientaion, but as I watch, it flips just before the import is complete!
It's not very hard to fix in Keynotte, on the iPad, just irritating.

Help please! Strange glitch having to click mouse multiple times to save a file

Hi,
I'm having a strange issue with Adobe Illustrator CS5 when I try to save as pdf. Basically I have to click save multiple times, sometimes over 100 times before it will ultimately save. Has anyone else encountered this weird problem and if so did you manage to find a resolution? I'm working on PC with Windows Vista.
Many thanks in advance for any help - it's driving me crazy!

Hi OB,
Thanks for the reply. I had recently installed drop box so removed this hoping it might be the culprit, unfortunately not though, the problem remains.
I've also tried the 'usual suspects' without any luck either.
It really is an odd problem and not one I've encountered before. I also have an occasional issue whereby I'm unable to 'save for web' (only in Illustrator) - the option isn't selectable and even the keyboard short-cut doesn't work. It's glitch galore some days!

HT204380 My FaceTime calls a stranger. Very awkward

If you are using Facetime to call a friend and a total stranger picks up it maybe because you have an old number still in their contact info.
For instance, ever since I updated my Iphone with the new OS and called my sister using "Facetime" if she did not answer some person that I did not know would answer. It was very AWKWARD! Thank god the person was nice and she informed me that she's been receiving Facetime calls from me for over 2 months.
I figured out that I had an old number of my sisters in her contact info on my iPhone. So, whenever I would select "Facetime" to call my sister it would facetime all the numbers and emails that I had for her. One of the numbers I had was an old car phone number of hers. And because I selected "facetime" to call my sister it calls all the info i have for her. Sometimes when I "Factime" my sister she would answer using either her iphone, ipad or Mac computer because Facetime uses all phone numbers and email address you have for that person. That is why whenever my sister did not answer my factime call that total stranger would pick up.
So, if you are having the same problem be sure that the info of the person you are trying to Facetime is up to date and delete all phone numbers and email addresses they are no longer using.

Yes you can, go to Settings > Facetime and add an additional address.

Unable to add certain songs to iTunes--strange glitch

(x-posted in ipod touch forums)
Hello.
I have an iPod touch 2g, 8gb on itunes 8, windows Vista 32-bit.
For some reason, certain songs will not add into the itunes library to be transferred onto the ipod.
For example, I have a few Jack Johnson songs. One will add, but the rest of them wont. These were all burned from the same CD at the same time, legally owned and all. Itunes will transfer one song, but not the other six. I try manually dragging into the library and it doesn't work, and manually dragging to the ipod touch does not seem to have any effect either.
It is not just Jack Johnson CDs that I am having a problem with, I have a Don McLean CD from the 90's, a few A Fine Frenzy CDs, The Academy Is... (one of their CDs) among others. It's far too diversified to just be one particular thing. I have tried un-installing and installing iTunes a couple times, and it doesn't seem to be a driver problem at all.
Is there some way to add songs that I'm not aware of, some reason that the songs are not being added, or even an alternative to itunes that would be able to add these missing songs to my iPod? The problem is pretty widespread--I on;y have a music library of 500 songs or so, and about 80 of them won't add.
Thanks for any help.

Not sure what you mean by "double-checking online," but if the tag cleanup did not help, and you don't have the original CDs, I would go to cjschriver3's suggestion. If you have something like Audacity, read the file in and export it back out as a nice new "clean" MP3.
(BTW, not sure where you got the idea that iTunes was "higher end." It has very nice and flexible features for syncing iPods, which is its main purpose in life, but as a player is really just consumer-grade, and not particularly reliable at that, as you have learned first hand.)

Strange glitch involving user accounts on my machine...

Ok, this all started yesterday, I don't know if this is just some weird glitch or if it some sort of function I'm not aware of, that was suddenly activated. There is 2 user accounts on this computer, M(which is myself) and A(my mother)).My father was in my account and was trying to customize it for himself, since I no longer use this ibook. But instead of changing the name in the user settings, he clicks on HD and RENAMES the 'M' tab, as 'rudy'.
I didn't think much of it, but when he updated and restarted the computer, when he logged back into the 'M' account, EVERYTHING was reset to the default settings, as if its never been used before. All bookmarks are gone, itunes is blank, everything was seemingly gone as if another account had just been created from scratch.
It took me a while to notice that when I click on HD there is now 3 accounts now(eventhough when i log in, there is only 2). in the users tab there is a folder for 'M', 'A' and 'rudy' with 'M' being the one that is still displayed as the little home icon.
The weird thing is that when I click on the 'rudy' folder, all his original files, photos and music is all there. I can't locate any of these files in spotlight or anything, but the files are clearly IN this rudy folder and open properly, whilst the 'M' account is completely empty of any photos or music.
Its kind of like one account became two accounts, with all the information being confined to its own folder for whatever reason..
I haven't messed with anything yet, but I'm wondering if this can be fixed? is it possible to get back my original files and settings in this main account? I can easily back everything up and start anew, but there's really a lot of stuff i'd have to sort through, and i'd like to avoid that if possible.

This sounds to me like the 'Rudy' directory is your original 'M' directory. I'm guessing that when you logged on OSX requires a user's home directory to carry the same name as the account it relates to; it couldn't find the 'M' directory so it created a blank one.
I would expect that if you rename the new "M" directory to "M_Blank" or similar, then rename "Rudy" to "M". Log-out and back in again, all will be as before.
Before you do this I would like someone to confirm that the problem doesn't go any deeper. However, that's what I would do, then change the user account name in the correct way using account management.

My 24" iMac is behaving really strange. Very unresponsive.

It takes forever to come up and then is very, very slow to respond to any command on screen. It's making an odd clicking noise as well. I ran Disk Warrior and it said it couldn't fix it. Ideas? Reinstall OS?

It's making an odd clicking noise as well.
Sounds like you hard drive is failing. Go to this page and see if any of the sounds there match yours.
Run Disk Utility to see if it can repair your drive. Boot from your installer dvd that run DU from there.
If it is indeed failing make sure you back up that drive ASAP. Use a backup utility like Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper to clone your drive to a make a bootable backup.

Strange glitch at start up..

Recently got a new Mac Pro 2.66 ghz. The unit displays a weird glitch directly after the grey Apple screen at startup. It looks like a checkered like pattern for a split second. I have rebooted other Mac Pros at the Apple store and they don't appear to do this. However, the unit appears to operate fine during normal use. I tried reformatting the main drive and this didn't solve the issue. Any ideas? I will post video if needed. Thank you all for your time.

Is there an SMC reset button on this model?
Yes there is…

… although you need to open up your MP to get to it. The standard way is the simplest.

Strange Glitches

Hey guys,
My lightroom has recently been acting really strange. It still runs fine, but the preset panel only displays partially and there's no image in the navigator box. Any clues why this is happening? I updated my video drivers, reinstalled lightroom 5 and it's still doing it. (I'm on Windows 7)
See attached image.
Thanks!

Try deleting the LR preferences file. Sprinkling that magic fairy dust sometimes works wonders.

Strange glitches during gaming

I'm an ut2k3 fan and have been playing this game for a while with these settings (signature), yet recently, after all my probs which i've posted before (ram fried, monitor remaining standby etc), there is still 1 remaining.
I'm sure u have heard of frames per second, number of pictures shown to u in a sec. Basicly the higher the better.
Now, for my pc, that should definatly not be a problem (good specs and tweaked ut2003.ini) but it is since a week.
When i start a game my fps (frames per sec) stay stabilised @ high rate (93 being blocked by gamesource @ online games as not to go higher and need more bandwith), but after a short while i get glitches. The fps drop quickly from 93 to 20 (unplayable) and after 3-4 secs go back up for 4 secs of 93 and go back down etc etc.
Yesterday, i could connect a sound to the glitches, the sound of my cpu-fan speeding up.
Can it be that a malfunctioning psu is causing this problem or would u guys think that there was more involved to it?
I have thought of 3 possibly malfunctioning hardware:
- broken mobo (more specificly the agp bus)
- cpu
- psu
Tried the sandra benchmark tool to get more info, but from my understanding the cpu etc has a grafic that does not match the other reference grafics. That is for example, all references have a downword grafic and mine starts low, goes up, goes down,stays there, goes down and goes up.
Altho this could mean the cpu is broke, it could also mean that it doesnt get the amount of power it needs from the psu.
Does anyone of u know a way to be sure its one of these 3?
Ofcourse many tnx for the help, much apreciated

Yes, if your PSU isnt providing enough power and you are playing a high-resource, high power game it can distort graphics or cut it off totally (which is your case).. i am having a graphics card problem as of now, my graphics are distorted when i play UT2004 (ESPECIALLY when zooming in with the lightning gun).. i have a 9800 Pro, and i am taking it back today, but if that doesnt solve the problem, i am DEAD sure is is my 12V rail on my PSU.. i have a 450W, but only 14A on 12V rail... kinda low, so that could be causing it.. if you have a spare PSU, use it and see if the same prob stil happens... otherwise, last resort is your motherboard... what i would do:
1. Unplug EVERYTHING in your case but essentials
2. Plug Motherboard (with ram and CPU) in
CPU fan
You HD with OS on it only
DVD or CD drive (if needed to play game)
- and your video card
3. See if you still have same problem, and if you dont you know it is your power supply... If you still have the problem, it still might be your PSU, but you really dont know
4. If you can get a good 450-500 watt PSU with a 20A - 12V rail to test with, see if it STILL wont work
5. If all this fails, still same problem, it would have to be your AGP slot so you should return your MOBO to MSI

ITunes startup error message (strange & seemingly very rare!)

Hello,
I get a strange error message when I start iTunes on my Windows Vista Ultimate machine :
"*A folder was specified instead of a file*".
That's it. After dismissing the message, everything works fine. This is a brand new behaviour. It just happened suddenly.
Of course I tried a few reinstalls, deleting the prefs file, the iPhone file, etc., to no avail.
Thanks for your time!
Olrik

Hmmmm. That's certainly fairly exotic.
I'm wondering here if this is an issue with iTunes having difficulty finding your library file.
The default location for the iTunes library file on Vista (where <username> is the name of your usual Vista user account) is in:
C:\Users\<username>\Music\iTunes\
So if you hold down shift when opening iTunes and then click "choose library", as per the following document:
How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one
... and select your default .itl file, can you launch without that message?
If so, does iTunes launch without that message on subsequent launch attempts?

Songs skip (or completely stop) and other strange glitches

For a little more than a week now, my 2nd generation iPod Touch has had a number of problems.
-Firstly, some songs skip, though it's not your typical skipping like you would hear off a scratched CD. A portion of a song that's probably less than half-a-second will repeat about once or twice and the song would then continue. It is actually much more annoying than it probably sounds. I would not say that the file types of the songs are the problem because I have been able to play one of the skipped songs in its entirety twice without any problems. All the files that have skipped are MP3 and some of them had been converted from WMA.
-Sometimes when a song has skipped, it would just plain stop later on. Sometimes it would return to the main menu or sometimes all the way back to the home screen. I then would go back to the music section and the machine acts as if the song was not playing to begin with. One time I clicked the music button and it brought me to a Playlist that I had not been playing at the very moment the machine stopped. What's up with that
-The time tracking on a song can get completely wonky. You try to skip to one part of the song and it can sometimes sound way late compared to what's going on the little display at the top of the screen or it could have suddenly stopped and the display would say it's still playing. This is a pretty minor problem, however.
-The weirdest occurrence to have happened to the iPod was when a song stopped and the machine returned to the Home screen...but with the song display at the top screen. You could click buttons like Pause and Play but it's all on the home screen and nothing is computing sound wise (no song is playing, by the way). This is probably impossible to imagine in your head and my description is foggy at best but this is the most worrisome of all the flaws with the player and though it only happened once it sounds almost too bizarre to be preventable or repairable.
What I have been doing recently with with iTunes - if this information is any help - is 1) creating tons of Playlists and 2) adding album art from my computer. I would basically save images onto my PC from the internet, regardless of what kind of files they were. I would then copy the images I had saved onto my drive to iTunes. Would this be a possible problem, if the iPod could not read a certain type of image? Or is it that all the work I've been putting my iPod through the past couple of weeks, immediately filling the thing with 1700+ songs the first day and then doing all this playlist business?
I honestly have no clue. You can say that I'm perhaps asking for too much but when your player hiccups and the song "Now Playing" completely dies it can ruin your enjoyment. If there is anyone who can help me, you have my fullest gratitude.
Thank you in advance!

Funny I found this post on the exact date that you posted it. I am having the exact same problem that you are (with regards to the song restarting the first couple to a few seconds into it - even one song not being playable partway through it). I don't think my identical problem is quite as severe as yours, though. I was doing the same thing as you: editing album art to songs with images essentially from the Internet (the images were of large dimension) to high bitrate-songs from large albums in rapid succession. I would go to the "get info" window, click the "artwork" tab, click in the album art field and copy paste, paste, paste one right after the other... I think this is causing our issue as the songs played just fine before. I've done a bit of research into this and one apple tips forum told me to right click the song and click "convert ID3 tags" and some other non-helpful stuff that I won't disclose yet for fear that you might get yourself deeper in the hole. But I'll tell you if you'd like. All in all, I am having the same issue and I need to resolve it because iTunes screwed up my mp3s that were just fine before sans album artwork. I even have those albums backed up on my external hard drive - with the ID3 tags edited and the songs corrupted! I wish I knew how to remove the headers. Anyone know how to fix this?
