Time display disappears on timeline

I'm beginning to import audio on slides now and for some reason the time display disappears from time to time from the timeline. When this happens I can't manually adjust where the playhead is either.

Hi Varun,
Sorry, have been busy preparing for a trip and have had little time to try your suggestions out. I tried a new blank project and BRIEFLY tried it by throwing a couple of images in and it seems to be fine.
So it may be that one project. Something one of my colleagues found (as she is having the same issue, so not sure if it is just isolated to this one project) is that by manually shifting the slide bar at the bottom the time display. She found this screen shot online:
This seems to be a stop-gap and gives the display in the moment, but is not a permanent fix. This may be a clue that it disappears by manually moving the slider at the bottom in the first place. A hypothesis, I have yet to try it out at this point. Will let you know when I get back from my trip in a couple of weeks.
Thanks!

LCD time display disappears or not working

Occasionally the LCD window refuses to count up or disappears entirely. I have had a look around for others wit a similar problem and keep coming across it. I need to repair permissions and plists or something. As per this posting.
Missing items in the graphical user interface can be caused by corrupted preferences files or wrong permissions -
try the "oddball problems" fix described in the FAQ, if you have not done so already:
http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/GBFAQ.html#oddballprobs
Try first to remove the GarageBand user preferences from the User library and then to repair the permissions on your system volume. If all fails, reinstall GarageBand."
However I cant seem to get to the site listed so havent a clue what to do. Anyone help?

The site seems to be back online now.

Where did the time display go and why is the screen stuck on master track? Thanks.

My time display disappeared and the screen is stuck on master track. Any ideas? Thanks.

If the GarageBand application window appears to be messed up, parts missing, or in the wrong place, it might be a problem of corrupted preferences files. Try to repair permissions and to remove the file "Your Home Folder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.garageband.plist" from your user library.
See HangTime's fix for "oddball problems":

(Let the page FULLY load. The link to your answer is at the top of your screen)
Is your profile signature "GarageBand '09, Mac OS X (10.5.8)" still current, John? If not, and you are now using Lion or Mt. Lion, the User Library will be hidden.
Then you can reveal it from the Finder's "Go" menu:
Finder > Go, then hold down the options ⌥ key, until the Library appears in the drop-down menu, select it and open the Library folder. Then go to the "Preferences" sub folder and remove com.apple.garageband.plist.

Timeline frame display disappears when viewing area bar changed

I'm trying CS4 and one of the frustrating things compared to Pro 1.5 is when I change the zoom using the viewing area bar all the frames that were displayed disappear and the only way to bring them back is to click in the area where they should be. In 1.5 the frames would disappear while the bar was being moved, but would be redrawn when the mouse button was released. Why doesn't the bar behave like this? The zoom slider does the right thing but is far too coarse.

When the # prompt has appeared, type in the first line exactly as posted, and then press Enter. If the command worked properly, another line containing root# will appear below it without any intervening line. Type in the next two commands in the same manner. The fourth command will not produce a root# line when properly executed; instead, the text screen will disappear and the machine will continue starting up.

Hello My ipads Power button is not working properly when I press it once it shows option to turn off instead of locking and some other display problems like it suddenly lockes down or display disappears ...Please help. Thank You

Thanks for that information!
I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

2nd display disappears on switching focus to another application

Hi,
I'm running LR5 on Windows. I've got the grid view on my primary display and a second display showing the loupe view.
If the focus moves to another application (i.e. a small notepad window on the primary display) then I can still see LR with its grid view in the background behind notepad on the primary display however the loupe view on the second display disappears and I can see the desktop.
Is it possible to configure LR not to automatically hide the 2nd display when the input foucs moves to a different wiindow? I'd like to be able to continue displaying the image on the 2nd display while I'm doing something else on the primary display.
I've not been able to check but I've a feeling this is new behaviour in 5, I don't think 3 or 4 did this.
Many thanks in advance for your time/help! :-)

No, sorry. I've just checked LR3 for you, and the behaviour's the same.

Display disappearing in viewer and in ext monitor

I am at my second project using Color, so I'm pretty new to it.
The first time it worked out fine.
This time I am encountering a strange problem.
I send the project from FCP, it takes me a couple of times to get it to open in Color, but I finally make it.
Once in Color I start grading my shots. As soon as I drag a grade from one shot to another though, the displays disappear, either my external display than the one in the viewer on my computer monitors, and there's nothing I can do to get it back. I have to resend the project back from FCP, just to have the same problem occur.
Anybody has any idea why it's doing that?
Thanks

Nope. We aren't looking over your shoulder so how can we tell based upon the information you've not given?
It would nice to know what video format you're working with. It would be nice to know if you've followed the stringent rules for prepping your sequences for Color. It would be nice to know your equipment software/hardware infrastructure.
But to throw a guess out there, since you're using a G5, I'm guessing your video card is substandard and not liking what you're using for video.

Photos not showing in the correct time order in the timeline

On a recent holiday I was using both my iPhone and my dSLR to take photos. When I returned from holiday I noticed that the time on my dSLR was wrong. After I had imported the photos into the photo mac app I changed the timestamps to the correct one.
Unfortunately not all of the photos reordered themselves correctly in the timeline. They are no-longer in time order, near time order, but not perfect.
For example the first photo in the timeline currently starts at 12:30, about 5 photos later the timestamp is 11:20.
How do I get my photos to display in the correct time order in the timeline?

I think I've figured it out,
When I put in the time for my SLR I set the time zone to the holiday destination.
Despite having a local sim card and the iPhone correctly geotagging me in the location, not all the timezones on the iPhone photos are correct, some are home time zone, others are holiday timezone.
To fix it I used the adjust time tool to change the time zone, but leave the time the same and the photos magically reorganised into the correct place.
It seems the timezone is as important as time. I hope that helps other people

Layer disappeared from timeline

I'm creating some banners with Edge Animate for the first time.
I started with the biggest one, now I need to create some more downscaled versions.
Clearly the easiest and fastes way is to duplicate the edge project and modify the layers size position etc...
Duplicating the project folder and changing the file name didn't work for me (gave error "edge can't read the html file"), so I managed to do it with "save as" and changing the "project1.an" name to a new one in a clean folder. When opened, Edge creates all the assets referencing the new name.
Everything ok until here, but then I noticed that the top layer "link" (it was a hidden clickable div with the banner link) has disappeared from timeline, but it's still present in the "elements" tab.
The link was still working, then after a couple of cmd+return it disappeared also from the stage.
I created a new rectangular div with the tool, but the new one is also not present in the timeline but only in the "elements" tab.
Now I'm worried that this could cause problems on publishing or future edits. Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks for your help.

Never mind, after this post I already found the answer.
I had checked without noticing the button at the bottom of timeline "Only Show Animated Elements".
Unchecking all the layers were there.
Hope this can help if anyone has accidentally the same problem!

Time display goes to minus 22 hours

This has happened 3 times now in 2 different projects. I'll be in the middle of editing and the time display will suddenly show MINUS 22 or 23 hours and it'll be impossible to reposition the playhead on the timeline. So far the only way I've found to recover is to restart the computer. It's been so random I'm not able to diagnose what kicks it off yet.
Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else?
I have all the latest versions of everything; 2012 MBP, working off an external LaCie RAID via TB.

Despite what it says in the post I have OS X 10.10.2 (Yosemite)

QT time display is erratic.

I have been through two updates of QuickTime 7 since the time display by the scrubber has worked right.
Each video starts as 00:00:00. Before long seconds digits begin to disappear, giving displays such as 00:00:0 or 00:02:5.
I thought the latest update today would have a fix, but it's still happening.
Thanks.

Have you already gone into the Time and Date settings and checked and unchecked boxes for network time and auto time zone? It might just need a kick.

What are the time units dsiplayed in timeline?

this might be a dumb question, but I wanted to time an event I taped with my sony hd camera. i imported the clip into pe 9 and tried to judge the time by looking frame by frame at the timeline. the units appear like this 01:30;25. but the final two digits jump from 25 to 00. what the heck does that mean? are these frame units, seconds, a novel timekeeping system invented by adobe? i realize a video camera is not a timekeeping instrument, so perhaps I'm asking too much...but now I'm curious... what are these units displayed in the timeline, and why do they jump at the increments they do? set by my sony camera? or adobe?
thanks...

David,
For most recorded footage, it is 29.97, though there are a few cameras, that really do shoot at 30 FPS. Using Interpret Footage, and looking at the FPS, should give you the real detail.
Unfortunately, camera mfgrs. play a tad "fast and loose" with their exact specs. It is tough to get to the real answer, to the question that you are asking.
Going back decades, stereo equipment mfgrs. used some "highly inflated" wattage numbers, and the consumers were first confused, and then a bit outraged. In time, they settled on more realistic numbers, and terms. Do you remember the RMS (Root Mean Square) wars with auido gear?
Wish that I had a 100% accurate answer for you.

Time Capsule Disappears When VPNing

I have a question regarding the use of VPNs and the availability of a network (ethernet) connected Time Capsule. I'm using a Time Capsule (3TB from early 2013) that is solely used for Time Machine backups. I have disabled all Time Capsule router settings, and instead rely on my Asus RT-N66U wireless router for all wireless and wired connections - I also have a 10/100/1000 switch for extra ethernet connections (Time Capsule is directly connected to the switch). My MacBook Pro currently uses wi-fi to connect to my local network - I have several network printers and a NAS, and everything works perfectly when I am not VPN'd into my company network.
When I VPN into my company network, the Time Capsule "disappears" from my MacBook Pro's network (evidenced by a "Device Not Found" in the AirPort Utility), however all other network devices are still available and ready (most likely since they've been assigned static IPs within my local network). I have given my Time Capsule a static IP in my network, but it still disappears from my MBP's network. Any Backups planned are delayed and I cannot run the backup manually. However, I can still use the "Enter Time Machine" option to access data from within the Time Capsule. What gives here? Ideally, I'd like to be VPN'd but still have my Time Machine run as planned. What's even stranger is that once I disconnect from the VPN, the Time Capsule still displays "Device Not Found" for quite some time, but eventually comes back to life.
Just for edification purposes, I'm using the Cisco AnyConnect VPN software and have enabled the "All local (LAN) access when using VPN" option. Still no dice. Any thoughts?

Routing is being messed up by the VPN or the DNS is not working properly.. either of which amount to the same thing.
Mount the TC in finder using its IP.
Go, Connect to server.
AFP://10.0.1.1 (or whatever IP you have). The complex bit is you are going to need dhcp reservation on the main router to stop the TC from bouncing around its IP address.
Set that in your Asus main router.. but test it immediately before worrying too much.. if you get it mounted in Finder by IP address.. you can also discover it in Airport utility by using its IP directly..
You simply need to manually control things.. type in the IP to help it out.
Also don't forget the ipv6 setup to link-local only on the wireless/ethernet on the computer..
Tell me how this goes.
Once you have the TC mounted in Finder.. have another go with TM.. if it still has issues.. change the name of the TC, make it short, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.. see if that helps.
BTW the windows method of fixing this would be simply edit the hosts file..
Looking it up there is a Mac equivalent.
http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-edit-the-mac-os-x-hosts-file-and-why-you-mig ht-want-to/
Of course it is essential that the TC does not change IP.. so fix that in the asus as I said and make sure if you shut down and restart the TC it does actually pick up the IP.. you can also try using static IP on the TC as an alternative to bridge this actually works well but is a little more involved to setup..

How to reset numbers in real time display in Cisco Supervisor Desktop?

Hi all,
I wonder about numbers in real time display in Cisco Supervisor Desktop. There are many statistic number for example : Call Handled, Max Talking, Avg Talking, Max Ready, Total Ready, Call abandoned, etc. Is there any way to reset those numbers back to zero? Please let me know.
Thank you.

Joe,
I haven't tried that, but I'm very skeptical. The CAD Agent gets stats from two places - CTIOS and RASS. RASS keeps the call log information in a SQL Desktop Engine database.
Stats derived from CTIOS reset at midnight. Obviously, restarting the RASS service has no effect on those. Call log information is being kept in a database so it seems to me that a restart of RASS should also have no effect.
I guess I will have to try for myself.
Regards,
Geoff

Image time display discrepancies between product

The following is an example of a problem I've observed in many places in my photo collection.
I have two files taken 8 seconds apart in April 2009 with a Nikon D70 shooting .jpg format. The files were subsequently imported from the camera memory card using a card reader and Photoshop Elements. PSE was also used to add tags to these files.
Since then I've acquired Photoshop CS 5 Extended. The other day I was looking at these files in both PSE and Bridge. PSE shows the time of these two files to be the same (as it should), however, it adds an hour to the actual time the image was taken to adjust for the difference between the time set in the camera (it was Pacific Time) and the time zone where my computer is now located (Mountain Time). When I look at the time on the images in Bridge, one of them shows the correct time in Pacific Daylight Time, but the other is showing the corresponding UTC time value, 7 hours later than the local time. Looking at the file list in Window Explorer shows the "Date" and "Date taken" values to be the same as that shown by Bridge.
There were two other images taken shortly before the first one mentioned above and they show the correct local time. The two files that followed the UTC timed file also show a UTC time value. Then following that the next file shows local time and then there are a number of files showing UTC for time.
If I look at the two files with Windows Notepad so that I can see some of the text strings in the exif data portion of the file, the first file has a couple different places where time is shown in the format "...hh:mm:ss-07:00" and the other in the format "...hh:mm:ssZ". The time value is preceded by the date in yyyy:mm:dd format. It would appear that Bridge is reading these values and displaying them, while PSE is getting some other time value from the file. Here is the actual string from the file that displays in UTC:
exif:DateTimeOriginal="2009-04-05T17:08:10Z" exif:DateTimeDigitized="2009-04-05T17:08:10Z"
and for the file that displays time in local time the string is:
exif:DateTimeOriginal="2009-04-05T10:08:02-07:00" exif:DateTimeDigitized="2009-04-05T10:08:02-07:00"
I've observed this same discrepany with files taken more recently with a Nikon D700 and images in NEF format. I think I can reasonably eliminate the possibility that this is a camera caused discrepancy. I suspect that some program is actually reading the local time and offset, then writing that back to the file as a UTC time value. The behaviors of PSE and Bridge seem to point to the fact that the two programs are extracting time from different fields / strings in the file. At this point the occurrance of the problem seems random, at least I've not been able to discern a pattern and reproduce it at will.
Although this is not a catastrophic problem, it does cause confusion. I've also looked at these files in Lightroom, which on initial inspection appears to get the same time values as Bridge. The down side of this is that files in Lightroom are sorted into time order, which may not be the order they were taken. Although I recognize that these products may not have been design for complete compatibility, it sure would be nice if they all treated time in the same way.

I believe I now have more information about how PSE works and therefore need to slightly correct my original post. It looks like PSE takes what ever time it finds for the photo's "time taken," converts it to UTC, then converts it to the local time on which PSE is running. That will explain why two images taken seconds apart, with on having time coded as local time plus UTC offset and the other having an absolute UTC time, display the time taken in local time. On the other hand, Bridge (and Lightroom) just displays what ever time it finds in the file.
