Thumbnails are all reading Media offline - and they all play fine

Hello all,
My firewire 800 drive dismounted when I attached an additional firewire drive onto the chain. As a result Final Cut froze. I had to to do a hard reboot because my entire machine froze up.
I finally restarted Final Cut and when I did, my thumbnails images which IU was ussing to select my B-roll showed the red Media Offline Icon for each piece of media.
The footage is on the drive and plays fine. I cannot proceed with my project if I those Icons are unavailable
Thank you,
Rob

After you follow Shane's suggestion, write yourself a big note and attach it to all your firewire drives. It should say -
"Do I feel lucky today? If not, shut down the computer before plugging and unplugging drives."
Yes, the specification for firewire suggests it should be hot swapable, but the reality of daily use, loose connectors, old or variable power supplies, and so on, can wreck havoc. Fried firewire ports, corrupted systems, scrambled data, and bad hair are only a few of the horrors that await you if you continue down this path.
Cheers.

Some Media Offline, and No Sound in Video Export: Premiere Pro & Media Encoder

I have run into a couple problems:
First, sometimes when I try exporting an edited video from premiere, the video shows "Media Offline" even though it plays fine in Premiere. How could I fix this error?
Secondly, when I try exporting a different, longer-in-lenth video from Premiere, it shows NO Sound, despite there being sound in the ProRes file itself.
I tried restarting, clearing the cache and deleting the preferences - and it still isn't working. We also tried re-installing media encoder. I also tried contacting Adobe Support, and they haven't been helpful or responsive (My case number: 0186134420). Anyone know how to solve this one? Thanks!

See the last post and try it:
Media offline when exporting, but media online in PP?

Media file thumbnails in browser say "media offline", but files are online and available for viewing/editing. How do I get a thumbnail of the clip back?

I am moderately experienced with FCE, but cannot figure out this issue. The thumbnails in my browser say "media offline", and no longer show a thumbnail of my video clip. When I try to reconnect the media files, the reconnect dialog box only checks for "online" media. I am able to view and work with the media files in my project even though it says they are offline. This issue seems to occur after a power outage. Its more of an annoyance than anything else, but I would still like to find a solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Figured it out.

Hey linfrommi,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are having trouble locating some application after the update to iOS 7. To troubleshoot this issue, let’s reset the home screen layout of your iPhone, which should move all of your applications to the second “page”:
Reset iPhone settings - iPhone

Thumbnails are often the wrong orientation and distorted. What is causing this?

Thumbnails are often the wrong orientation and distorted. When I select in viewer they are normal again.

As if only the corrected layer would have remained on the photos.
So the geometry of the pictures is correct - they are not skewed or something? Only the colors and intensities are wrong?
. Only in printing when it is converted to PDF file some photos are unrecognizable.
Is it the printed pdf or the pdf viewed on the screen? If it is the printed copy you need to fix your print settings.
Does Aperture give a warning, that the high resolution images are not available?
We had some cases of books not being able to be printed, and that was due to a broken reference to the original files. Only the book could not access the originals, all other parts of Aperture could. To check for this, try to add one more adjustment to one of the images in question. Is it possible? Are the edits reflected correctly in the pdf of the book?
We were shooting with 3 cameras, Lumix5 shooting RAW, Cannon 100 shooting JPEG and SONY alfa850 shooting RAW.
Have you tried to reprocess the raw of the edited images? (Photos > Reprocess Raw)
Also try, to remove one of the images from the book and to add it again. That usually helps, if Aperture has lost the connection to the originals used in the book.
If you no have done so already, repair (and if necessary rebuild) the Aperture library.

TS4002 when to persons are using one apple ID and they sync their contacts to gather then first sync contacts are deleted. how we get it back?

You can share the same Apple ID for purchasng form the iTunes and app stores without any problems, but you should all used separate iCloud accounts with separate Apple IDs. (You are not required to use the same ID for iCloud and other services as you do for the iTunes store.) This will prevent you from ending up with merged data. You should also use separate Apple IDs for iMessage and FaceTime or you will end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.

I have always been able to sync my IE bookmarks from my desktop to Safari on my iPhone. Suddenly they are gone from my phone and they won't sync any longer. What am I doing wrong?

I have always been able to sync my IE bookmarks from my desktop to Safari on my iPhone. Suddenly they are gone from my phone and they won't sync any longer. What am I doing wrong?

I have done this on numerous occasions but I think that my Iphone has a defect. After many tries, reinstalls, deletion of content, changing content to be stored on external hard drive, deleting itunes and cleaning computer I managed to get all of the songs on and things seemed okay for a while.
The problem returned about a week ago after downloading a new album from Itunes. I now have 12.5k of songs leaving 10gb spare on Iphone which should be more than enough room to operate properly. Last night it seemed to be dowloading ok (after doing all of the above again for the umpteenth time) this morning it revealed that it had just synched 2.5k of songs and 18gb of "other" on the contents bar. it wont synch now as it says its over capacity. So the 18gb of "other" would probably be corrupted data that means it must corrupt each song as it tries to synch it.
The 2.5k of songs it did synch are working on the Iphone as is every song in the library on Itunes. I did completely delete the new album I bought and redownloaded it from the store then tried to synch just that album and it worked fine.
Just about time to dump apple I think!

First, how are you trying to play them? You need to play them by clicking on library on the left side of iTunes and clicking on music. The whle song will play by doing this.

I imported files from an external hard drive to Itunes on a new computer. they imported & play fine, but the ratings & playlists are gone & i am unable to update any info. I found a file name playlist on old drive & imported now most files are missing!

Can you locate the iTunes Library.itl file on the old drive? Ideally you would have simply copied over the entire iTunes folder structure from <User's Music> on the old computer into <User's Music> on the new one to transfer the library will all playlists, ratings, play counts etc. intact.

On my iPod touch why does it only allow one earphone to play? I've plugged the ear phone kno another device and they worked perfectly fine what is wrong with my iPod

On my iPod touch why does it only allow one earphone to play? I've plugged the ear phone kno another device and they worked perfectly fine what is wrong with my iPod

- Try inserting and removing the headphone plug a dozen or so times.
- Next try a reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem, like a bad headphone jack.

I've bought songs on itunes and they wont play on my iphone

I've bought songs on itunes and they wont play on my iphone because a cloud is showing but wont download the song...frustrated!!! Sometimes I can listen to them and then the next day there's a cloud showing.

On your iPhone tap Settings > iTunes & App Store then make sure Music is switched ON.

I can't play video's on my IPOD, but they will play fine on my computer

I downloaded some music videos and some TV episodes to watch on my IPOD. I had no trouble downloading them, and they will play on my computer, but when I try to play them on my IPOD, it doesn't work correctly. It will show a little box up in the top left corner with a frozen shot of the beginning of the movie, and the sound will work, but I can't actually see the movie! This is a recent problem, when I first got my IPOD I didn't have any trouble playing movies on it but now I do. HELP!

hi, I'm sorry I dont actually have an answer for you, but I am trying to post a question and can't figure out how to post in forums. Could you maybe help me? I'm a problem similar to yours and it's driving me crazy.
I'm sorry to bother you. Thanks.

When I try to sync my photos on iphone using itunes, some events are incomplete on my iphone and they are all randomly placed instead of being sorted by date like on my iphoto. Help?

Using the latest Iphoto and Iphone5 software. I try to sync all my photos on my iphone and for some reasons, when they appear on my iphone, some events (when i go to events from mac) are incomplete (photos missing in some events) and randomly presented as opposed to being sorted by date like they are on my iphoto on my mac. This also happens on trying to sync my ipad... Solution anyone?

Hey there vtec99,
It sounds like you are syncing photos from iPhoto on your computer but not all the photos you set to sync are actually coming over, and they are disorganized. Based on what you are describing, I would recommend deleting the iPod Photo cache which stores picture information that iTunes uses to sync photos from your iPhoto library. The following article will help you do that:
iTunes: Understanding the iPod Photo Cache folder
When you use iTunes to sync photos to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod, iTunes creates a folder called iPod Photo Cache. The iPod Photo Cache stores photos that are optimized for display on your device. The location of this folder depends on the syncing options you select. In iTunes, if you change the selection in the Sync Photos From menu, a new iPod Photo Cache folder will be created (and the previous folder will remain).
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling
