Strange new problem with external effects and latency compensation

i'm currently facing a new , very strange problem with latency compensation for external effect devices. it alway worked fine for me but suddenly there are strange things going on. i'm suddenly running into problems when using sends which feed auxes going to external effect devices.
latency compensation is set to ALL !!!
easy setup :
- open an empty project and create 2 audioinstrument tracks. on the first one load the exs with a drumkit and record f.e. a bassdrum pattern. leave the 2. instrument empty.
- now on the first audio instrument create a send to bus 1 -> aux 1 and insert the i/o plug-in in the aux and route it to your external effect device. chose a temposynced delay.
- press play = everything is fine when audioinstrument 1 is highlighted in the arrange.
- press stop, click on the track with the 2. audioinstrument and press play = totaly weird timing problems. delay is only in sync when track 1 is highlighted.
- create a send in the 2. audioinstrument and route it to bus 1 -> aux 1 too = still the same problem
now insert ANY softwareinstrument in audioobject 2 and suddenly the timing for the delay is right.
go ahead and create a 3. audioinstrument track but leave it empty first. chose it in the arrange = again weird timing problems with the external delay.
insert any software instrument on audioinstrument 3 = still the same problem
now create the send to bus 1 -> aux 1 in audioinstrument 3 and guess what, timing is right.
*** is going on here ? can anyone reproduce that ?
it works fine when using sends which feed auxes with software effects inserted.
funny thing is, when i go to the environment and change aux object one to bus object 1 and insert the same i/o in it it works !!!
very very strange, please tell me i'm not crasy and this is a bug !!!
as said, latency compensation is set to all.
i'm using the mac pro 3.2 8-core running os 10.5.4, logic 8.0.2 and a motu pci-e audio system.

Welcome to the Discussions.
If you need it formatted FAT32, reformat it on your Mac. Use MS-DOS (FAT32) as the file system. If you don't need it for both PC and Mac, format it HFS+ and you'll be able to use the Retrospect Express software that came with it on your Mac.

Problem with external device and my new mac

I have a maxtor onetouch 200gb. I just bought an ibook G4, and when I connect my hard drive I recieve a message saying the device is not readable by this computer. I tried the device on a pc, and it still works. The device is fat32 formated, and as far as I know this should not cause any problems with mac. I also tried to download mac drivers for the device, but it still doesn't work.
Does anyone have something that can help me?

Performance problems with external sounds and Sound class

I'm using Sound & SoundChannel classes to load and play external MP3s and I'm seeing terrible playback performance on my 3G phone. Audio starts out ok, but will gradually get more and more choppy and eventually crashes the app. The MP3s themselves are typical sizes, 2 - 6 MB and of various types (VBR, CBR).
On top of that, when the phone gets locked (with the app still running), the audio sputters and stops completely. When I unlock, it begins where it left off. Anyone else seeing this?
My code is pretty standard:
private var soundPlayer:Sound;
private var soundChannel:SoundChannel;
public function load(url:String, playNow:Boolean = true):void {
if (soundChannel) {
    soundChannel.stop();
soundPlayer = new Sound();
soundPlayer.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onIOError);
soundPlayer.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, onProgress);
soundPlayer.addEventListener(Event.ID3, onID3);
trace('Loading new stream: '+url);
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest(url);
soundPlayer.load(request);
if (playNow) {
    this.isPlaying = true;
    soundChannel = soundPlayer.play();
    soundChannel.addEventListener(Event.SOUND_COMPLETE, onSoundComplete);

this is from another forum (http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2542931&tstart=0&messageID=12106188 ):
"I've spoken to the developers of of couple of these apps, and they've all said it's a memory fragmentation/low memory condition.
Restart the phone. Don't just turn it off and on, but restart it.
Hold the on/off button and the home button down like you were going to turn it off. When you see the swipe to turn off message, keep holding the buttons down.
In a few seconds the screen will flash, and then go dark.
Now it's really off.
Turn it back on (restarting it). All should be well.
The iPhone is really a computer. Performing a restart like this every once in a while (weekly, bi-weekly) is a good idea, esp if you use memory intensive apps."

Problem with External HD and Disk Utility

Hi. I'm using OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 on a 15 inch MBP Retina. I've been using my 2TB WD My Passport Ultra hard drive since around February of this year. Earlier today when I plugged it in, the hard drive didn't show up in my devices in finder. So, i unplugged and tried again. Still nothing. Then, I went to Disk Utility and found that the drive was there but the partition wasn't mounted and is greyed out. So i tried to verify / repair the disk but have gotten a couple different messages. One being "The partition map needs to be repaired because there's a problem with the EFI system partition's file system. The other being "Some information was unavailable during an internal lookup". This message has showed up more than any other. I've been able to get in and look at my files once to try to copy the files from the drive after a message popped up and said it "couldn't repair the disk" but i "could still open or copy files on the disk but can't save changes to files on the disk." But I encountered an error that was something along the lines of "Operation couldn't be completed because the item "..." is in use". But the file i was trying to copy wasn't open or in use by any program. SO, I'm in pretty desperate need of some help with this. I have some very important files on this drive that I can't afford to lose. A lot of it irreplaceable. Any help at all would be very much appreciated! Thanks a lot!

I recall that the old imacs could not use a HD over 130G or so unless they are partitioned. So you may need to make three partitions first with your disk utilities. It should format it at the same time.

Problem with After Effects and Yosemite

I have CS5 and I have installed OS X Yosemite and now using the eyedropper in Keylight (1.2) makes After Effects crash and with Ultra Key in Premiere Pro, the eyedropper just don’t work. I have removed and reinstalled both programmes and it didn’t help. I also failed to update the programs after installation. Anyone who knows something about this?

Thanks for all the great response!
My graphics card has 512 MB of vram. with 200 mb allocated to After Effects (it was the default, can it be safely increased?)
I'm running 2560 x 1024 (two 19 inch monitors in horizontal span mode). but deactivating a screen and restarting doesn't make a difference (1280x1024).
as for visual styles, I only had the default windows xp theme, but switching the the classic windows 2000/98 look didn't make a difference, even after rebooting.
I'll contact technical support right away! But any suggestions anyone might have are still much appreciated!
Once again thanks for the replies!
Christopher OShea
EDIT: forgot to add, about video drivers, I'm using the latest yes. I've also tried the one just before the latest. And I'll have till tommorow with technical support since they're closed now, bummer ):
Another edit: heres something interesting, I turned hardware acceleration in display settings off completely. This fixed the problem.
The only problem is, now I have no hardware acceleration at all, giving me close to no performance at all in pretty much anything. Obviously After Effects doesn't run well like this.
But at least this makes it almost certain that the problem is related to the graphics card.

Problem with External HDD and Disk Utility

I'm having issues with my external hdd, I keep all of my media on it, and randomly it is no longer readable, and doesn't show up on the desktop, it only gives me the options to initialize, ignore or eject, when I try to initialize it and run first aid, all of the options are greyed-out and I cannot click on them. The only option in Disk Utility that I can do is erase. Is there anyway to fix the hdd so I can continue to read and write to the device, I really don't want to lose over 600 gigs of photo's, videos and music.

Since it sounds like the disk is on the way out, I would suggest that you back it up preferably twice.
Once you have your data backed up then and only then you can start troubleshooting the problem.
What model Mac do you have?
How is the disk connect to your Mac?
Does the disk have another type of connector?

Strange New Problems with 10.9.3

Folks
Over the weekend I installed the new Mavericks update 10.9.3 but seem to be having problems at home with a wireless connection but not at work with an ether net connection. At home Mail and Safari do not work, cannot download mail from my servers and get a blank page when I try to browse. I do not believe this is the connection since Firefox works fine as does Terminal doing rsync through fink ( I can download as well as run fink). At work all works fine for both Mail and Safari. Any one have any suggestions since I'm not sure what to do except wait and not work at home ( always a good idea anyway).

Problem with external libraries and Web DynPro

Hello,
we're stuck here.
We're trying for a week now to include external libraries(e.g. Hibernate) into our Web DynPro Project, without success so far.
We read every single forum and blog entry we could find on this topic.
E.g.: /people/valery.silaev/blog/2005/09/14/a-bit-of-impractical-scripting-for-web-dynpro
We're running Netweaver 2004s SP9 Trial Version.
The biggest problem is, that when we deploy an J2EE Server Component Library DC exactly like described in the blog entry above, although it is deployed correctly an lists under Server->Libraries in Visual Administrator, the external hibernate.jar doesn't get deployed onto the server. It's just an empty container named hib/lib without any entries in "Jars Contained". The sda file of the library DC also has only 2K and doesn't include the hibernate.jar which we added as used dc...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Or is there a simpler way to include external jars into Web DynPro Projects and deploy them to the server? (We already tried putting them into the lib folder without luck, we always get "NoClassDefFound...")
Edited by: Christian Wieland on Jan 31, 2008 11:22 AM

Hallo Christian,
this is a bug which should be fixed in NW 7.0 SP9 patch1: [Look at this forum thread on the same issue: External Library DC in NW2004s SP09|External Library DC in NW2004s SP09].

Problem with external harddrive and disk utility

I have just about ran out of room on my iMac G3 so I went to walmart and bought a FreeAgent 320 GB external hard drive. On the bottom it says its compatible with my iMac G3 you just have to format it using disk utility.
So I open up disk utility and I see my hard drive. I click on it and then go to erase so I can format it to work on my mac. However everything on the erase page of disk utility is greyed out and and I can't click on anything.
What do I do? Thanks.

I recall that the old imacs could not use a HD over 130G or so unless they are partitioned. So you may need to make three partitions first with your disk utilities. It should format it at the same time.

InDesign Transparency Effects - Problems with Image Quality and File Size

Hello,
We are experiencing new problems exporting InDesign files to PDF.
To summarize, though our largest workflow is to create files for offset printing, we also deliver our work to PDF for mounting on a website so our clients can download directly from the web. Our new problem is Transparency Effects, and creating a PDF that will both have a high quality (or resolution), and be a small file size.
We are working with multiple page documents (24 to 48 pages), and would very much like to work with InDesign Transparency Effects. However, after spending much time testing a variety of PDF types, we are finding there is a radical difference between quality and file size. I was curious if anyone has had these problems, and if there is a simple answer. InDesign is an incredible program that allows us to design on the fly with Transparency Effects, but, if we are going to experience these problems, we will have to eliminate these wonderful tools.
Can you help me or lead me to information online that will help.
Thank you,
Lain

Please don't post in multiple forums. Your question has nothing to do with the PDF language and specifications, but rather PDF workflow or InDesign. I've responded to your other posting and am closing this thread.

Problem with keyframe effect - at start and end (crop and scale)

I'm having this odd problem with keyframe effects.
Setup:
I have a gif image that I have on video 1 for say 2 minutes.
I have my real video on video 2. It is a person talking.
First I start with my video full size on top of video 1.
Though the motion and cropping keyframe management I slowly reduce the scale and crop my video image so that it is reduced to the lower left bottom of the screen, on top of the gif, which is now revealed.
My problem is at the start and end of the transition from full video to small box on lower left on top of my gif I often get 1-2 frames where the video goes blank and/or I get a bunch of random red bars on black background appearing on the video - Or I get the gif from video 1 without the video 2 at all (it disappears).
I've tried moving my start of end of the transition to skip the bad spots - but these new transition starts or ends not get their own bad spots in the same way. Its only a couple of frames but it's really unacceptable for the finished video.
Note, when I say transition here I don't mean real transition events, but rather the start of effects that are managed with keyframes. My move from start to end of the effect runs for about 4-6 seconds.
Any ideas?

Bill,
Here is more detail and screen captures.
Concept:
I have 3 minutes of video. It contains a person making a speech. During parts of the speech I want to reveal a graphic image that will be discussed. The speech will begin with the speaker full screen. Half way in, the speaker will shrink down to 45% in the lower left corner of the screen. While the animation occurs (the shrink, move and cropping) it will reveal the graphic below. The graphic will take up the full screen with the speaker at 45%.
Technique:
I put the video in Video 2 and the graphic, a GIF image in Video 1. The scene begins with the speaker talking at full screen. After a minute, I animate the move of the speaker using Motion: Scale and Position and Effect: Crop changing Top, Bottom, Left and Right sides. The animation occurs over approximately 8 seconds.
I am manually adding keyframes at the start and end of the animation. I set the ending state of the video image in the end keyframes. The interpolation between these start and end keyframes should be managing the animation.
Problem:
At the beginning and end of the animation – usually 1-3 frames from the start and 1-3 frames from the end, where the change has barely begun or almost ended, I get these problems. On some frames, the video (in Video 2) completely disappears only showing the Video 1 GIF image below. On other frames, the video image turns black with horizontal red bands half way across.
Troublshooting:
I’ve tried deleting all start and end keyframes and moving the start and end earlier or later to see if I can fix this, but the problem continues to show up in these new locations.
I have added a few screen shots.
1:32:15 is the start of the animation change and 1:40:22 is the end of increasing from the mini video speaker to full size (on top of the GIF).
At 1:40:16 the video image completely disappears only showing the GIF below.
At 1:40:17 its back and slowly increases in size through the interpolation until it is full size at 1:40:22.
Let me know if you need anything else.
Thanks!
Evan

I have a problem with the effect gallery and the saving libraries in Illustrator CS6

Hi everybody
I have a problem with the effect gallery and the saving libraries in Illustrator
1. When you go to to effects > effect Gallery the the sketch filter always is black and white. Is this normal? In Photoshop you can set your background and foreground and the sketch effects takes those colors. Is there any way to do this in Illustrator? I have tried changing the colour of the fill and stroke but nothing...
2. In the same area as before effects > effect Gallery .... In Photoshop you can add multiple filters with the create new button. Always is off is there anyway to make it available? or the only way is to by creating several individual ones and manage then in the appearance panel ...
3. I saved a brush library and now it appears in the user defined area so I can get it in any document, that is good but any one knows how to delete a user undefined library?
Many thanks in advance for the help .... I look forward for the reply =)

I see that it is six months ago that I first posted this. Nothing has changed. When I use affixa to create a message with an attachment from my gmail account in firefox, the message is created in drafts, but the gmail window is closed and I have to re-open it. Not critical, but annoying.
Now there is a plug-in on the affixa site that is supposed to be designed for Firefox, and which affixa support claims should take care of this. And I've downloaded it twice. When you download it and open it, it says that it will be installed when Firefox restarts, and gives you a button to restart Firefox. But after you click that button and firefox disappears and re-appears, the affixa plug-in is NOT in the plugin list.
Please, somebody, HELP.

Having problems with ipad mini and Siri. Works sporadically, will work once and then the second time not. Worked all the time with the original Mailbox app. Then started doing the same thing when I installed the new update so wondering if it is software?
