Symbol corruption in ibooks

Hello All,
     The symbols in my compositions are not working in ibooks, but they work perfectly in Safari, Firefox and Chrome.  They used to work in ibooks on my ipad until late December, then they suddenly seemed to become corrupt.  When the pages load, bits of the animations flash on the screen for a second and then disappear.  After that the pages function normally, but it happens with every page turn. Has anyone else had this problem?
     I have tried to copy and paste the symbols into new pages but the problem is also transferred onto the new pages.  I tried to view it in ibooks on Mavericks on a desktop and got different errors.  The flashing bits of animations were gone, but some of the pages didn't load at all.  When the pages did load, some of the animations wouldn't play. I downloaded the trial of version 3.0 and copied a couple of pages into that but it is still the same.
     I am loathe to begin all the work of recreating my symbols from scratch because what if it happens again?  how do I know I will not get to the end only to have the symbols suddenly become corrupt all over again?  To say that I am frustrated would be the understatement of the century! ANY information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and best to everyone,
Emmy52

The problem is with the audio files!
Upon further testing in the ios simulator and on my ipad, I discovered that when I remove the audio files my pages work perfectly. The pages load properly and the elements within the symbols do not flash on the screen.  I do not understand this at all.  Furthermore, some pages seem to work in some of the simulated devices even with the audio included (though never when the device is 'rotated' and never on my actual ipad).  I am including a table to more clearly show my results:
The final page of my project does not include any symbols or audio files so it always works.  The first page includes includes several symbols, and two audio files.  Two of the symbols and the audio files are actived by click events so that they play at the same time.  All of the other pages have multiple symbols, four of which are activated by clicks to play along with their corresponding audio. I will now attempt to figure out what is different about the first page.  Why does it load properly when the other pages do not?
I don't think it is the audio files themselves.  I have tried various files in mp3, mp4, and ogg.  The problem seems to appear the second I drag the audio from the media folder onto the stage.  I also tried doing it the old way by putting the html media element into the composition ready area, but the second I referenced the actual audio files my page stopped loading properly.
This is so frustrating because it all worked just fine until late December.  Why did it change all of a sudden?
If anyone has ANY information or suggestions I would be really appreciate hearing them.
Best to all,
Emmy52

  • Image files ok on PC but corrupt on iBook

    Hi all, I have a lot of jpgs on my iBook, which I transferred to my PC using a portable HD. On my PC using Roxio, I burn these jpgs to DVD.
    When I put the DVD in my iBook, I can see the little thumbnails of the jpgs but when I try to open it using Preview or Photoshop, it says "File Error. Couldn't open file. It may be corrupt or a file format Preview doesn't recognise".
    Why is this happening and how can I fix it? I can't burn the jpgs using my iBook because I don't have a DVD writer.
    Thank you so much!

    I frequently transfer files between PC and iBook.
    Couple things to look for.
    Do your files on the iBook have the file extension .jpg in the filename?
    Sometimes (depending on what OS you are using on the PC) this is necessary.
    Also, rather than trying to open the file directly from the DVD - launch Photoshop and navigate to the DVD to open the file.
    And lastly, when I have a really stubborn file, I usually find success by using MacLinks Plus. Drag the problem .jpg file to MacLinks Plus, open, and Save As Tiff file.
    Open the Tiff File and Save As JPG. Takes a few minutes, but it works.
    Hope this may be of some help.

  • Convert to symbol corrupted

    hello, I have a simple motion tweened layer.
    I convert it to a symbol, however when I do this, the tween
    is corrupted.
    Why is this happening only when I convert to symbol ?
    thanks kindly for any help

    select all frames/layers.
    right click over them and select "copy frames".
    Create a new symbol in the library - select frame 1 and right
    click - "paste frames".
    Drag symbol to stage on new layer and delete original layers.

  • Symbol corrupting on save?

    Ok, I've got some real problems!
    At first, I thought perhaps the animation was getting too big, so I looked into making it into 3 separate symbols (probably still a good idea if I can get to that point).
    This seems to happen in different ways but it seems to be happening each time I open a project.  As an example, here's what went on just a few minutes ago when I opened the project:
    Right now, I have a file called index_v21.html  that I just opened(a webpage build using Edge), with one symbol "banner1" being pulled into the page and run.
    The first time I play it through, several of the "text objects"( from within the symbol "banner1") on the timeline are messed up.  Either they no longer fit and are "wrapping", or they are not turning off when they should, remaining for the entire sumbol run.
    I go to the symbol "banner1" and play it - it plays fine (sometimes it too is messed up).
    I go back to the page and now everything looks good (I didn'y change anything!).
    SO, to be safe since I have several copies of this and am not sure which ones are correct, I re-save this project into a NEW, empty folder.
    When I just ran the new project file, it ran just fine.  Now, however, the one that I made the copy of is again messed up, this time with something totally different (the "stage seems to have shrunk or something!).
    If someone can let me know what they are using when they upload examples and such for the forums, I'll upload the 2 project files so someone can see what I mean :-)
    Thanks
    James

    ok, I've uploaded a new file and removed the others to avois confusion :-)
    Here's the url:
    https://creative.adobe.com/share/0d6d92b2-b58e-453f-be03-d9e7dbdb50ae
    And here's the same project file on the server:
    http://higherpowered.com/edge/v2/index_v1a.html
    So far, I have been able to copy this project file and everything seems to be working.
    I also think I fixed the problem with the text wrapping, although I'm still not sure why it wasn't picking up the font like it should.  I had the "text fields" pretty tight (There was no room between the text and the "text border".  I streatched out the area that holds the text, so if the font doesn't fit, it now has more room to fit.
    This is the best copy so far since the problems started.  The few MAJOR problems I'm still having are:
    1. The "sales/distribution systems text re-appears on the next screen after the opacity is turned to "0" (about 2/3 of the way through).  I haven't been able to see an reason for this.
    2. I cannot seem to copy this project with any consisancy.  One time it copies the same and yet another time I copy the project (into a new folder) and the "banner1" symbol is all garbled.
    3. From this project, I exported the "banner1" symbol and tried to import it into a new project.  Once again, the symbol was all messed up!
    Also, I'm trying to break the symbol in two sections (between the "design" section and the "develop" section).  I've tried again and again to copy the symbol into a new project (so as not to be working on the original) and it always gets garbled to the point I cannot use it.
    Any help is appreciated - I'm pulling my hair out :-)

  • Themes missing and corrupted for iBooks

    Like others, I suddenly have only three themes for books, despite having previously creted books saved in other themes. Most odd is going to the large format book options, where I have two different themes--and everything is in Italian. I recently reinstalled iPhoto 8, had to delete my preference (*.plist) files, in order to get slideshows working. Now slideshows work but my book themes are toast. HELP. I don't want to go through yet another reinstall.

    You'll need to do the following:
    Restoring iPhoto Themes
    First look in your User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder. If you find it there move it to the HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder and reboot. Then try iPhoto again. That may save you having to go thru the reinstallation process described below:
    1 - delete the current application.
    2 - delete any files with iPhoto in the file name that reside in your HD/Library/Receipts folder.
    3 - delete the Themes folder from your User/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder. Also look in the HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto folder for a Themes folder. If there is one there then delete it also.
    4 - mount the system disk that came with your computer, double click on the "Install Bundled Software Only" file and do a custom install selecting only iPhoto.
    After installing reinstall the latest iPhoto updater again followed by a repair of disk permissions with Disk Utility. Also make sure you're running the latest Quicktime version.

  • Can Boot an IBook G4

    The system stops at the Apple Screen with a moving PinWheel.
    I've tried:
    Resetting PMU, Can't Boot (ctrl C) using OS X Disk, can't boot in safe mode, etc......
    Was able to run Hardware Test and recieved
    2MEM/104/4: Dimmo/Built-In. Since I assume this is a bad RAM issue, and the only Ram is on the system board probably solder in, I probably can't fix it.
    Any ideas on how to proceed. It's just over 1 year old and I believe out of warrantee.
    Is there a way I can somehow get data off the harddrive for recovery?
    Thanks for your help!!!

    If you can get you computer to cooperate try this
    Using firewire connect your computer to another mac and on your ibook press t when you start up. You should then see a firewire symbol on your ibook screen. On the other mac you should see your HD on the desktop. You can repair your disk on the other mac and/or retrieve the necessary files. (Requires 2 computers with OSX)
    Don't have another mac? Make new friend.

  • Corrupt Flash CC File

    Something crazy happened one day and Flash CC stopped working.  Not sure if related, but Creative Cloud wouldn't load either.  The installation team helped get Creative Cloud working, so I updated Flash and it finally opened, although glitchy.  Playing with the menu, I changed the Workspace settings which finally seemed to kick Flash into working again.  Now everything seems okay except...
    ...the file I was originally working on won't open anymore.  It says "An error occurred opening file: ..."
    I know this was a known issue with CS6, but I can't find any solutions for saving a CC file.  The zipping thing isn't working (neither Explorer nor winRar will open the renamed file).  The AppData thing isn't working either (no tmp file in folder).  I was about to decompile the swf, but my trial of SoThink ran out, and I paid for the program but my registration won't go through!  I contacted their support but no word yet.  So anyway, I'm here asking for help on saving this file.. (because really.. in an ideal world, I shouldn't need to buy external programs to salvage it...)...
    Thank you for any help!
    UPDATE:
    Finally got SoThink Decompiler to work (had to turn off firewall).  But it creates a .fla with all the code bits as externally loaded files, including a separate file for every every "stop();"
    So I'm looking at re-coding the entire game from scratch either way... Unless anyone has any ideas?

    Hi there,
    Can you check if your PublishSettings.xml within the fla/xfl file (you need to mark the flas as zip/rar and then inspect) has a multiple duplicate publish profile entries and if the size is greater than 100kb?
    Also have you update to 13.1.0.217?

  • Copy part of a symbol into a new page

    Hello all-
    I'm trying to break down a rather large symbol.  If I highlight the second half of the symbol and copy it into a new symbol on a new page, it becomes all garbled to the point it is impossible to use it.
    I tried using Duplicate but don't know what it did other than it looked like it copied all the elements into the existing symbol?
    So,
    1. What does duplicate do and when would it be better than copy/paste?
    2. How can I copy a piece of an existing symbol to create a new symbol?
    BTW - The idea of copying the existing symbol and then removing the part I don't want, although sounds like the best way to do it, will not work as whenever I copy the symbol, or even try to load it into a new page, it becomes garbled as before (This is another discussion, "symbol corrupting on save?").

  • How can I permanently delete an event from my Calendar?

    Today I visited the NASA website and I made an event from there that went to my iPad calendar. I decided to delete it afterwards but each time I delete the event it reappears every time I launch the app. How can I permently delete this event without it reappearing through iCloud?  Thanks.
    Tommy V.

    You can't permanently delete it because it isn't stored in your iCloud account.  The cloud symbol next to iBooks deleted in iBooks is a link to the iBooks store allowing you to redownload it from the iBooks store.  This list of previously purchased iBooks cannot be deleted.  To avoid seeing them, click on Collections rather than All Books.

  • TS3304 In apps i click on buy.the loading symbol comes up for a few seconds then disappears and nothing happens. I can get into ibooks but cant get any new titles to download

    In app store i click on buy. The loading symbols come up for a few swconds, then nothing happens. I can get in to ibooks but can,t get any new books to display as choices,

    I guess, putting it in recovery mode and restoring it "as new phone" is your only chance if you can make it. Restoring from a backup may copy corrupt files back to your phone, causing this problem.

  • Since updating iBooks has corrupted my hotmail download??

    No i didn't want to just moan i couldn't post any more as my phone totally shut down again so have had to swap to my ipad. The problem i'm having is that the phone keeps totally shutting down from anywhere from 5 minutes to 13 hours then it will suddenly come back on and tell me the battery is almost dead when it is actually full. When it shuts down it shows the charge symbol but does not recognize the charger being connected. Have been told that the new update has corrupted all my software.

  • OK. I have a copyright question. Do I have to put a copyright symbol on each of my photos to protect them from being stolen ? I'm referring to photos of paintings  here. What is to stop readers of the iBook from using the photos?

    Ok, I have a question concerning copright. Do I have to put a copyright symbol on every image I use- I'm refering to photos of paintings here. What is to stop readers of the ibook from using my images? They are all my own photos.

    You do not HAVE to put a © symbol on each photo. If you own the photos, you hold the copyright. However, nothing stops a viewer from downloading the photo and using it without your permission.
    To protect yourself there are alternatives: put a ©2013 by ME in the description of each photo. Always add your copyright notice to the metadata in every photo.
    I once had several of my photos taken off the internet and then used in a commercial catalog without my permission. I was outraged, the catalog company was naive, and in the end I received $100 compensation and an apology. - Fabini

    Are you using the virtual keyboard to input your password and you cannot see/find the characters you need on that keyboard?
    Or are you trying to use a bluetooth keyboard and pressing the printed key does not produce the right character?

  • Corruption of devices by charging from iBook

    Hi. my problem seems so wierd that I haven't really trawled the forums for an answer but here goes. I have charged 2 Motorola V3i phones from my iBook G4 (having to return then to the dealer for a replacement each time). Both became 'corrupt' - ie: I couldn't use the phone at all. I only put 2 and 2 together after the second phone 'died'- The common factor being the charge from the iBook. Then, stupidly forgetting these happenings I bought a new iPod, charged it up from the iBook, copied all my iTunes over. Great all seemed fine, till I went onto the iTunes store to buy a new album! I went to update the iPod and got a -48 Unknown Error message! This basically said that the iPod could not be updated and the only way to do so was to do a reset. I tried the iPod on 2 other Macs I have, only to experience the same result! I took it back to the dealer and initially they got it to work after a reset and updating from the inStore MacBook Pro. However knowing what I knew about my phone experience I tried it again on my iBook before leaving the dealer. Same thing. He said he's never seen anything like it and thankfully gave me a new iPod. My dilema is that I am now scared to plug the iPod into the iBook and as I use this Mac loads (it has all my iLife stuff on it and I love using it) for fear of corrupting the iPod. It's almost as though the ibook is somehow damaging the electronics/battery of these devices. Does anyone have an answer! I know buying a new MacBook/Pro laptop would be the ideal answer but even then I am worried about that becoming 'infected' with the same problem! Is there such a thing as 'bad electricity'?Thanks

    Hi, just so you know, it's not the iBook that's the problem. Turns out there's a major issue with the latest iPods. I returned mine to the store and got a refund as I was so hacked off!
    Thanks for your comments earlier.
