Audio and video out of sync after making subclip

I split into subclips about one hour of video. when I play the subclips back in the viewer the audio is at the beginning and the video is at the very end with alot of black space in between. when i watch the original one hour clip in the viewer it's perfect.

I captured a whole tape via "capture now" then went back and viewed it using markers to select scenes for my subclips. The played back tape is fine but after making subclips out of my markers the audio is at the very beginning of the clip and has a timecode of 00:00:00;00 (black screen in viewer), then a few minutes of black screen with nothing, then my video with the proper timecode as shown in browser and elsewhere. Each clip has a audio timecode of 00:00:00;00 and the video has the correct timecode. I can unlink them in the timeline and sync them but this is way too much work plus it doesn't really sync them anywhere but in the timeline and canvas. In the viewer I get the little editing ques and boxes that show where video and audio are, you know the little frame in/frame out "L"'s and they read exactly what I'm getting.ie. audio at 00:00:00;00 and video elsewhere.

The latest iMovie do not seem to be working properly. the photos and videos become distorted whenever i attach them to the templates. in one case (Blockbuster Trailer), the video skips thereby making it not in-synch with the music. what should i do?

I wonder if another provider would really be much different? Read some of the other carrier forums - seems to be the same story everywhere.
I'm not disagreeing with you - I've found that I am usually more informed about Verizon policies and procedures than some of the reps in our local store.

Trial Watermark Over All My Photos And Video

I bought elements 12 in Best Buy, there is a "free trial" watermark over all my pictures and video. Why do I have to log in under free trial if I bought the program? Why are the trial watermarks runining everything?

When you install, you must enter a serial number to register/activate the program

I have a user on an iMac 10.6 connected to our domain. She uses Outlook web access for email on our exchange server. Last week she received the following message which is randomly preventing her from sending emails. She claims no attachment was involved in the original email when this all started. I have not been able to look at her account as she is out of the office but maybe someone else dealt with this issue. I realize this may not be Mac related but thought I'd give it a try. She did say it occurred once over two days while working on a PC but it continued over the past weekend.

PS - have found other posts indicating that clips smaller than 2s or sometimes 5s, or "short files" can cause this. Modern style editing often uses short takes ! Good grief I cannot believe Apple. Well I deleted a half a dozen short sections and can export, but now of course the video is a ruined piiece of junk and I need to re-do the whole thing, the sound etc. which is basically taking as much time as the original. And each time I re-do it I risk again this lovely error -50 and again trying to figure out what thing bugs it via trial and error instead of a REASONABLE ERROR MESSAGE POINTING TO THE CLIP IT CAN'T PROCESS. What a mess. I HATE this iMovie application - full of BUGS BUGS BUGS which Apple will not fix obviously, since I had this product for a few years and see just hundreds of hits on Google about this error with disappointed users. Such junk I cannot believe I paid money for it and Apple does not support it with fixes !!!
If anyone knows of a GOOD reasonably priced video editing program NOT from APPLE I am still looking for suggestions. I want to do more video in future, but obviously NOT with iMovie !!!

Free Trial Group Video Chat

I've got a free 7 days Group Video Chat trial, and received a email that confirmed the trial.
But, don't know why, I just can't use the group video call!
Every time skype says that i have to use a premium account in order to use the group video call.
Does anyone know what i have to do?
Thanks in advance.

Because one-on-one chat works correctly for you, it is possible that you, and / or one of the participants you were trying to connect with, do not have enough bandwidth to support best multi-party video. All participants must meet all the requirements, so all of you who are having problems should consider all of the following suggestions:
If any of you are using wireless connections to the internet, connecting via ethernet instead might help.
Also, check Making a group video call (Mac).
You can check the actual speed available to you by using Speedtest.net. Do not have any other internet connected apps (like email, etc.) connected while you do the test.
If you have not restarted your entire system for a long time, shutting down everything and then restarting your modem, router, wireless access point (if it is a separate device), and computer sometimes helps improve communication speed. Let every device complete its power-on self-test before restarting the next device in turn.
If the problem continues after you restart your system, Skype's comprehensive support system should best be able to help you use their product with your system.

Exporting from PPro CS3 -- lots of trial and error - and Cineform?

Rather than showing up on this forum out of nowhere and asking, "what is the best codec for exporting HDV edited material from PPro CS3 when the desired presentation is standard definition DVD" I thought I would do my homework first, and post my results. Then, if anyone has any suggestions on how to improve or if their mileage has varied from my results, I hope to learn from your comments.
My camera is a canon HV20, filming in 1080/60i and capturing using HDVSplit (due to premiere's inability to keep my audio and video in synch). I am operating in Windows XP Pro w/SP2 with a dual core AMD 6000+, 2GB dual channel DDR2 800 RAM. Seems powerful enough for me.
My finalists in terms of visual quality when burned to DVD using Encore CS3, 7MB 2 pass VBR, came down to these:
1) H.264 max bit depth
2) QT Animation Sorenson
3) QT Animation Sorenson3
The H.264 takes a little longer to encode, but the visual quality wins out.
So, after doing this and reading posts on here about using Cineform AspectHD I thought I would download a trial and see what it does for me. The strange thing is, I don't seem to understand what advantage it offers, but surely it must be something since it costs $500!
After trying the Cineform trial for a couple of days, I'm not sure I understand what good it is doing. The CFHD files have to be rendered upon placing on the timeline, and they have longer render times when applying standard effects such as the Premiere color correction and time-remapping effects. No apparent difference in visual quality, but much larger file sizes to store. So why is it that folks use Aspect HD???
Hoping if you read this far you will share your preferred HDV-->SD export codecs and settings so I and others can learn from your efforts.
Oh yeah - and eventually, I will be purchasing a blu-ray burner so I want to export these same projects from Premiere into blu-ray format. But for now, it is standard def in 16:9 format.
Thanks for any comments or suggestions.
MS

My computer is similar to Mystroh and Esc in KC. I am not as picky and I want to work in standard definition, I've been making movies in Premiere since version 5.5. In Premiere Pro version 2 I have been making movies using 3 different Sony videocams, usually about 30 minutes long, and exporting to tape and DVD.
So, I splurged for CS3 Production Premium and installed it. No problem.
I composed my first movie called 'Swindle Part 1'and exported it to Encore, (direct to DVD - no authoring) and it bombed near the end of the transcoding phase with the following message:
PGC "Swindle Part 1" has an error at 00;29;46;09. Internal software error: %0, line Swindle Part 1, ref = Bpgc, time = 00;29;46;09
The referenced timecode is one second from the end of the sequence.
I tried again with different clips in a different project and got the same error message.
I can successfully export this movie to tape and to a movie.
Any ideas?

I need to know how to download all photos AND videos from 2 "libraries" within Adobe Revel. Please help.

I was quite angered last night when I posted the first time, so lets try this again:
Here is my setup: I have adobe Revel on my Mac and iOS devices and it has worked quite well to be honest until I recently realized my photos and videos are basically trapped within the software. There is no way (that I am aware) to export all photos/videos or any kind of tool to pull the raw data out of the app and put it into say iPhoto or Lightroom.
Since I am not a fan of this sort of lock-in, (something I despise and encourage companies never to do), I am sadly going to cancel my Revel account once I get this sorted and store my photos elsewhere. This is a huge missed opportunity for Adobe, as the money is not an issue - its simply that the quality of service I need just doesn't seem to be there for this product.
So here is what I am trying to achieve: I simply want every one of my photos and videos to store on my hard drive like the old days. I don't care about folders or hirarcy or any kind of organization - I can do that with the metadata later. I simply want all of my things.
My hang up is in that I have already tried methods like "Show package contents" in the photos/adobe revel route and that works to an extent, but is incredibly cumbersome as I have to sift through all of the many folders. If that were the worst of it, I might be ok. But what is truly alarming and making this difficult is that I don't know where on earth the videos in Revel are actually stored. They show up in the application and I could export them one by one but I literally have hundreds. I can't find the actual files on my Mac anywhere.
Is there anyone at all who can help with this? The goal is to make this transition fairly easy and I feel that Adobe has very intentionally made it very difficult to consider leaving. I spend >$50/month on Adobe services and I am a little in shock this application seems so poorly designed for anything other than just dropping your photos into it. Please, please help if you can. I would be so grateful as Adobe customer service doesn't seem to know or care much about supporting this product.

Hi KDT
Yeah. I agree, if you are used to a situation where "it's on the cloud AND synced down to your hard disk where you can get it" Revel is not exactly that. There were legacy decisions behind that - most not as sinister as you might think but I won't bore you with those details. AND yes you are correct. We currently don't have any way for you to wholesale download everything at once. So you aren't missing anything. Until we provide that mechanism I can provide some guidance.
I'm going to assume you have the current version of Revel on your Mac which is 2.0.
The easiest thing for you to do will be to export your files manually. You can actually select a range of files and export. So it's not a one by one thing.
You'll have to decide how best to perform the selection based on your photography habits. If you tend to take batches of files surrounding specific dates. You could do it by date. In the date view (In the applications upper right "Showing: Dates"). If you look at the end of a date row you'll see a small grid. If you click that grid you are taking into a grid view of just that date. If you select all and file>export you'll export the contents of that date.
The other option is remaining in Grid view (In the applications upper right "Showing:Grid") and perform a shift+selection where you select your first file, move down the desired range and while holding shift you select a second file (standard multi-select stuff).
One thing to keep in mind as you do this. You'll notice when you export you can export original or 'current version'. Export original does just that. Exports unedited original versions of your images as they were uploaded to us. When you export the current version of an image we'll export a rendition of the edited image. This "current version" image is not the original and in most cases will be a rendition that is not the same size as the original. So keep that in mind as you proceed.
Not ideal, I fully realize, but I do hope it gets you closer to having your images back on your hard disk as you desire.
As for your subscription. Assure you have checked your iOS Appstore subscription settings and set Revel to not auto-renew. Unfortunately for a pro-rated refund on the subscription balance you no longer desire you'll need to work with Apple as they hold the purse strings for Appstore purchases. Refunds haven't been a problem in the past so you should have no issue.
Hope this helps.

Help needed for a new Mac user with his photo and video librarys

after swopping my Ericson for an iphone a year ago. then taking delivery of an iPad on launch day. I have finally taken the plunge and swopped my windows pc for a lovely 27" iMac... what have I been doing all these years using windows? using the Mac is a joy.
As I get more involved with their products I am constantly fascinated (and frustrated) by Apples way of doing things. this situation is no exception and I need Apple people with Apple experience to help me make a decision.　
I am looking at software to organise my photos and videos. I have approximately 7000 photos residing on a windows home server. in addition to that there are some 200 or so HD videos taken with either my Sanyo Xacti camcorder or Sony DSC W300 camera. both cameras I think produce MPEG format
my first experience was iPhoto. great for the `price' but not very flexible. single libraries, poor editing facilities. and because I have files referenced and not copied to my iPhoto library, if I deleted from the library its not deleted from the server (and vice versa). this leads to images being displayed in the library that don't exist etc.
then I downloaded the Aperture 3 trial. great until I came across the `Unsupported file format' situation with the MPEG videos that strangely enough, iPhoto will recognise and play (the Apple way of doing things).
1. should I put the photos on the Mac instead of the server?
2. Is there a better way of managing the images for deletions etc
3. should I stick with Aperture because of the editing
4. is there a better software or way of managing the videos
sorry for the ramble but its all new to me

had a good session on all three of the recommended programs and now have a better understanding of the excellent advice I have been given.
iPhoto
great `free' program that is easy to use but somewhat limited on features. think I would always be looking to upgrade from here (feels a bit boring)
Aperture
really enjoyed using this but at £170! a hefty price tag considering its limited file support. fortunately its only my camera video clips (MPEG) that it wont view. my camcorder files (MP4) are fine so this is looking better as a one stop solution.
Elements
much more than just a image touch up. considering what it can do.. very good value at around £60. teamed with iPhoto it becomes even more attractive.
My issue still remains with the masters file location.
I would prefer to keep all my media on the external server to ensure I have a fail safe recovery option. its a 4TB 5 disk affair which contains all the family music, video images and DVD's etc (likely to change to a Mac server in the future!)
one feature that I cant find, (even in Aperture which surprises me), is the ability to automatically manage deletions from referenced locations? i.e. delete a file from the server and when aperture opens up the thumbnails are updated. or, delete a referenced master in Aperture and an option comes up to delete the referenced file on the external drive.
how would a professional photographer or studio using Aperture manage this process (or would they use something else?)
forgot to mention that through our student facilities i can get a discounted copy of Photoshop CS5 for around £175 which is close to Aperture. is this a worthwhile option or overkill

Advice for recovering from "The requested URL was not found on this server" error when browsing photos and videos on my iPhone 4S IOS5.1

Im not quite sure how I got into this situation but I have fried my Iphone app photo and video library. This demonstrates itself in 2 ways
1. The above error message when I attempt to play videos older than a certain date.
2. Photos older than a certain date - appear to be grainy suggesting that only the thumbnails are on the phone, and the full resolution photos have been blitzed.
This coruption may have occured as I have replaced my Iphone 2 times in the last few months for various reasons, where each time I have restored them both using back ups I have made using icloud. (I havent made an Itunes back up since the iclod came around)
In reading the support forums - it suggest to restore from a back up version. Is anyone aware if selectively restoring media content from an icloud back up is possible.
I have 2 Back Up versions on icould.
1- 13.5 GB
2- 7.2 GB
My hope is that the earlier 13.5 GB version has content I am looking for.
I am kicking myself for not making the occassional itunes back up, or at least use Image capture as a more secure way of ensuring my personal content is not lost. (I am loosing faith with icould).
Can someone suggest a good workflow for restoring from a cloud back up. I have already downloaded the most recent photos using image capture onto my mac.
Kiwi Grant

Progress Update.
I made a back of what existing phtos and Videos I had on my Iplhone. I used Image capture to do this making an entire back up of photos and videoa that were still intact on the phone.
Image capture is god for this purpose, as it does exactly what you ask it to do without applying any rules or squishing the files back into iphote (which might also be corupted)
Image capture wil do the basic function of retriving the contents of the phone and save them as native files on your hard drive.
Once I did this I erased my iphone, and re intitialised it restoring an older back up from icloud.
As the retore was happneing - I did retreive the missing files that cuased the intial beviour as above, and I could play the videos that were missing in the above scenerio. The wierd ting was however that even though the source files were now back on the device, the thumbnail previews were missing. Where I ahd balck thumb nails for server portions of the resotred content.
I then went to bed as the restore is a long process. When I woke up the library had library had cleaned itself up. Mysteriously the prcess had deleted the files missing the their thumbnails.
This is very perculiar and bad behavior.
I am now repeating the process, and will attempt to download the missing content as it is restored and prior to the phone trying to fix itself.
Here are the lessons learned.
DO NOT rely on Photo Stream to keep back ups and synchornise videos from you IOS device. IT DOES NOT SUPPORT THIS CAPBILITY
DO NOT rely on iCloud Back Up alone - always fd an occassional iTunes back up or more reliably still always take a back up of photos and video files using Image Capture to be doubly sure that you a have backd up any content.
DO THIS NOW - dont wait to loose your phone ofr have your phone repaired by replacement at the apple Store. (I did both :-(

PE8 Trials and Tribulations

This is the story of my four day experience installing and running PE8. For some of you there are tips that may help fix your problems. For others you will simply relate to my experience. For those considering purchasing PE8 I highly recommend that you do your homework before jumping in.
I've been using PE4 for the last two years and was quite happy with the features and flexibility. I consider myself a prosumer/serious hobbyist and have extensive geek experience. My usual jobs consist of importing HDV video from DV tape that was recorded with a Canon HV20. I combine the video with still shots from a Canon 20D in JPG format, throw in some music, and make short (<5 min) videos. I render and export in Widescreen DVD format (both PC and disk) and to H.264 HD format (both PC and Blu-ray disk).
Last week I decided that I should finally upgrade to the newest version just to stay current. I didn't read any reviews or do any research since I've always had a high level of respect for Adobe quality. Unfortunately my experience with PE8 has not been good. I've spent the better part of four days trying to get it working properly. I've had successes and disapointments. Some of you may benefit from the fixes that I used and I hope they will get you going with a functional and stable platform.
System:
Intel Core 2 Quad (Q6600) native 2.4 GHz, overclocked to 3.0 GHz
4 GB RAM
1 TB striped RAID (RAID 0 for speed)
Nvidia 8800 GT
Samsung SH-S203B DVD RW
Pioneer BDR-203 BD RW (Blu-ray)
Vista x32
Installed PE8, updated to the latest version of QuickTime (7.65.17), and went merrily off working on my first project. I immediately started having stability issues. Crashes without any warning, crashes with "out-of-memory" messages, crashes with "unknown cause" messages, crashes to the BSOD, couldn't render anything without a crash, overloaded processors even when the program was idle AND after it was closed, etc. Not good. All this on a platform that is extremely stable with every other software package I run.
After spending a couple days researching the issues I applied some system modifications that actually fixed most of the problems I was having. In fact the program only crashed once or twice following the changes - a tolerable frequency as long as I saved frequently. Prior to the changes it was crashing very frequently.
Here's the steps that got my PE8 running stable (insert reboots in the usual places):
1) Uninstalled existing QuickTime and Nvidia drivers (QT 7.65.17, Nvidia ?)
2) Installed QuickTime 7.3.1 and updated Nvidia GeForce drivers to v195.62
3) Uninstalled GeForce Stereoscopic 3D Driver (this doesn't affect your 3D gaming unless you use 3D glasses)
4) Disabled the Auto-Analyzer "feature" in Elements Organizer
5) Disabled Background Rendering in PE8
After taking these steps the only really annoying problem that still existed is that "Adobe Premier Elements.exe" continues to run after closing the program. It hogs about 25% - 100% of the 4 processors but doesn't appear to be doing anything. And yes, I did leave it running overnight just to see if it would ever finish whatever it thought it was doing - nope.
Overall I was very happy that the mods fixed 90+% of my stability issues. I completed my 4 minute video without much trouble and then...I tried to render the final product. The standard DVD quality rendering works great - in both PC executable and disk products. The HD 720p works fine in PC executable format. But the one thing that I really need to produce is H.264 or MPEG2 at 1920x1080. In the final product everything seems to render okay and the video starts out okay but at exactly 30 seconds the audio cuts out. The interesting thing is that I can start from any point in the video and the sound lasts for 30 seconds and then dies.
I found a post where another person was having the exact same problem with standard resolution PC output and they were able to fix it by selecting the Advanced button to open the Export Settings, selecting the Audio tab, and then selecting MPEG for the audio format. If you are having this audio problem you should definitely try the above fix! Unfortunately, for the higher res HD output no such option exists under the audio tab. There is perhaps a 3rd option to fix this problem and that is to buy another video editing program, read in the corrupt PE8 output and re-render. Apparently this has worked for some folks but I'm refusing to buy another program just to fix the errors of the editor I already have.
In summary, if you are having stability issues try the fixes I've listed above. They could potentially fix your problems and get you up and running. As for me, I can't find a way to get around the audio problem and it's the one last thing preventing me from having a functional PE8. I plan to return the product (ordered from Adobe online) in the hopes that voting with my dollars will encourage them to fix the PE8 problems. My impression of the current version of PE8 is that it is an abomination that should have never been released. It is substandard even for a beta version. If Adobe can fix their PE8 problems and create a editor that is half as good as their other products they I will be the first to sign up for a new copy.
Good luck with whatever trials and tribulations that you may be experiencing with PE8. I'm glad that the program is working for some and for the rest I hope Santa delivers a serious PE8 patch!

Please post "PE8 Trials and Tribulations" as a customer review on Amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-65045377-Premiere-Elements-8/product-reviews/B002IJA1DM/ref=dp _top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1http://.
I have the same computer and have experienced the same problems as you have. If you are able to get PE8 to function properly you will find that PE8 runs slower than PE7 due to all the new features (useless fluff).
You might also try deleteing any Reatek Audio drivers and allowing Win 7 to install it's driver, this seems to have helped my PE8 sound conflicts. I agree with you one hundred percent that PE8 should have been stabilized and the compatibility issues resolved before it was released. I guess things are done diferently at Adobe Bangalore.

Updated iPad2 to iOS 6 and lost all pictures and videos

I updated my roomate's iPad 2 days ago, following the instructions of a friend with years of Apple experience.
He explained that I would need to install iTunes on my laptop (a newer Asus running Win7) and that just plugging the iPad in would start an automatic process of backing up and updating.
Being from the PC world, I wanted to make sure we would be safe. I asked if I needed to copy pictures to my laptop or pc first, and he said that iTunes defaults to backing up first, then running the update.
Of course this makes sense, but erring on caution, I was very specific in wanting to make absolutely sure.
So I get the laptop ready. I plug in the iPad, it's immediately discovered and a window pops up saying there is an update for the iPad, and would I like to update now.
I pressed the button yes, or ok, I don't remember exactly what the vernacular was.
The lengthy process began.... with a status bar and activity..... took about 20 minutes.
After it was done, it said so. I don't remember the dialog box wording at that point exactly.
I pushed the home button on the iPad and it had the normal grey lock screen, opened it, and all of her apps were there, her email showed she had email,
but when i looked in the pictures folder, it was empty.
Thought perhaps they would appear later from iTunes. ( I didn't know at this point that she had never backed up or used iTunes for anything other than the initial activation and for her old iPhone that died several months ago)
Called my Apple friend, he said maybe I unplugged the iPad before it was able to restore things to the iPad.
So I started iTunes, attached the iPad , right clicked on "Tiffany's ipad" and went into the Backup section. There it says that the iPad was never backed up on this computer in bold text. And the option to restore from backup is grayed out.
I call my expert friend again. He has me look for backup files on the laptop, utilizing an application called 'iExplore'. went to 'device' section and there is a box that will show all backup files found on the pc. That box was empty.
What's tragic, is, this poor lady, unbeknownst to me, had been using her iPad as a picture and video dump for ALL of her child's pictures and vids for over a year. Without telling me. She is not a technical person.
Had I known this, I would have backed it up manually myself, before the update and all along. I would have made her do it. But I had no idea. I assumed she was plugging it in to her Dell Laptop.. but she never did.
I've run 2 'recovery' programs I got from online that scan for deleted files, but they don't show any of the hundreds of pictures and videos she had, Im sure because it was wiped, not deleted.
All attempts to locate a large backup file on my laptop have come up empty.
She is extremely and unbelievably broken up about this, as am I. I'm furious with Apple for not making the BACKUP stage of the process more tenacious, and with more pop up warnings so that this kind of thing cannot happen. Had I seen that, I would have used an application to MANUALLY copy her stuff.... even though at the time I had NO IDEA she was using her iPad as her ONLY repository for all of her precious media.
Folks, this is a life changing horror for her, and me. I love this woman's little boy as my own, and as a single mom, she was depending on me as a friend in this matter. If I cannot retrieve these images and vids, I fear she will never forgive me, as I'm the 'tech guy' who always has had the answers for everything in the past, and failed her on the most important tech issue in her life, her little boy's life in pictures.
Please, where can I send this iPad for forensic recovery of these images.
I've powered the iPad down until further notice to avoid writing additionally on the internal flash memory.
Thanks,
Lu Johnson

Doesn't sound like you have iCloud? If not, then no, you are out of luck....

Time Capsule WDS trial and error--working now

*{ I }*
I consider myself an expert in using Mac computers and Mac wireless systems although I am no hacker and no programmer by any stretch of the imagination (although I did teach myself how to use HyperStacks way back in 1990!). Although Apple overall provides a relative ease of use for computer technology, setting up a WDS network under b or g mode is still not always perfect. In this post, I relay my experiences of using a new Time Capsule to join an existing WDS network in 802.11g mode. It took several trials and errors and there might still be some glitches but for now it seems to be working.
note: you might want to skip to the last section roman numeral five if you want to skip the "travels with Conal and his Time Capsule" and see what my most helpful hint is.
*{ II }*
WDS stands for Wireless Distribution System which is when you use wireless routers to extend the range of your networks using a wireless method rather than linking each router by long cables. In the ideal situation, you would link the routers by cables but in a home situation one may not be able to have unsightly cables hanging everywhere.
My previous WDS system looked something like this:
DSL Modem == Extreme ~~ Express1 ~~ Express2 ## laptop
Key
== represents wired connection between routers
~~ represents wireless connection between routers
## represents wireless connection to a wireless device that is not a router (eg., laptop)
Extreme = Airport Extreme, the previous generation that looked like a saucer (or humourously I have heard called a "boob-style" station.
Express1 and Express2 = Airport Express, the previous generation that only could broadcast in b or g
My laptop usually connects to the network from Express2 because that has the strongest signal in my room.
*{ III }*
When I received my Time Capsule, I wanted to replace the existing Express2 and make Express2 simply become a wifi client (not a router) so that I can still use it for AirTunes and not to have it broadcast router signals. The reason for this is because Express2 and Time Capsule reside in the same room and aside from the redundancy of network signals, I don't know if having two wireless routers in such close proximity to each other would cause havoc on my network performance. I wanted the network to look like this schematic:
Extreme ~~ Express1 ~~ Time Capsule
I unplugged Express 2 and took it to the same location as Express 1 and Extreme 1. Then I plugged in Time Capsule. The idea of putting them in close proximity for set up was so that they could properly configure each other.
I opened up Airport Utility and it saw all four of my routers. I went through the wizard for Time Capsule selecting the option for it to replace an existing router. When all configurations were automatically set Time Capsule rebooted and in about two minutes or less, Airport Utility tells me there was an error configuring the Time Capsule. I knew immediately then that I had a few long hours ahead of me.
After that first failure I tried these various ways:
1. retried the wizard automatic way (never worked for my setup which albeit is not the simplest of network setups is neither the most complicated)
2. performed a manual configuration whereby I added the Time Capsule Airport ID to Express1 making Time Capsule a remote router of Express1; then I manually added Express1 to TimeCapsule as a router that it should connect to (that didn't work for some reason)
3. finally I got out the ethernet cable, hard reset Time Capsule, plugged in ethernet cable from laptop to TimeCapsule, and the manually added the Airport ID to Express1 and vice versa.
Note that I went through trial #2 several times fiddling around with other various WDS configuration etc. Finally what really worked for me was #3. I find that despite that I should be able to configure a new router wirelessly, I was not able to do so with success. I had to do it in a wired ethernet fashion.
After that was done, all was set. Well, almost because I still had to reconfigure Express2 so that it no longer would work as a router but as a wifi client.
*{ IV }*
Now my whole network looks like this
DSL Modem == Extreme ~~ Express1 ~~ TimeCapsule ## Express2 ## laptop
Note that Express2 and my laptop are actually both connected wirelessly to TimeCapsule. I am unable to draw it in another way due to the limitations of using linear text to represent parallel items.
*{ V }*
So, my advice for those who are having trouble with configuring Time Capsule or other wireless router, sometimes you might want to try plugging in an ethernet cable so that not only is the connection more solid but that pretty much continual contact with the router is available.
I realise that WDS in 802.11n is configured slightly differently and so perhaps WDS setup has improved but as it stands in 802.11g and 802.11b in the way Apple has implemented it, I would not suggest someone below the level of expert doing it. It can be very baffling, confusing, and irritating. I would never ask my father to try to set up WDS on his own even though there is a wizard for it. I know some people (like Chris Prillo) has had no problems with the wizard, but I have always had problems with the wizard. Not only did I have problems with it when trying to get the Time Capsule to replace an existing router, but when I set up my original WDS network I also couldn't use the wizard to set it up. It kept giving me errors.

You are over complicating things. I have a Time Capsule (TC), AirPort Extreme (AE) Base Station and AirPort Express (AX) all working flawlessly with WDS.
Make sure to write down the MAC addresses of the TC, AE, and AX. You will need them to configure WDS.
Using the AirPort Admin util configure the TC. Turn on WDS and set the TC to be the main.
Using the AirPort Admin software configure the first AX. Turn on the WDS and set it as a remote client of the TC. You will need the MAC address of the TC.
Using the AirPort Admin software configure the second AX. Turn on the WDS and set it as a remote client of the TC. You will need the MAC address of the TC.
You may have to reboot each device after each config change.

NOT ABLE TO IMPORT MUSIC AND VIDEO FILES FROM IPOD TO COMPUTER/ITUNES LIBRARY !!!!

Hi.... I am having IPod Nano 5th Generation. I can access music and video files (that are stored in Ipod memory) in Ipod. But when I connect the ipod to computer, I am not able to access/import these music and video files through computer. Also, I am not able to see any folders like DCIM, Contacts, etc... in the memory of IPod. Can any body help me out... ?

Search it up on google.com. There's a lot of apps that will help you do this. Check out this one:

You can also check out this video:

I tried the import software (trial version) and it was fine but I didn't want to pay for software. You can authorize up to 5 computers in the house to access your iTunes music and other iTunes purchases. Open iTunes, you can go under Store and select Authoize this computer.
Good luck!

Audio and video not in synch after upgrade

I have 12.1.1.4. I'm using this new version for the first time tonight, to watch some Walking Dead episodes, and the audio and video drift out of synch. I can bring them back into synch by pausing then replaying, but it doesn't last. I watched some older videos that I know to be good and had the same issue, so it's not a problem with the episodes.
What I've tried:
Making sure that the Quicktime audio settings match the ones on my sound card.
Uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes.

I also have this problem, and some videos will no longer play in iTunes.
I get a message that this video is not compatible with this version of iTunes. I have to open the video in Quicktime to watch it.
Unacceptable! This hardware and software is too expensive to have these performance issues.
2011 Mac Mini, 8GB RAM, Duo core, iTunes library on NAS on wired network. Mountain Lion 10.8.2. iTunes 10.7 64 bit.
