TS1388 Garageband has several intermitent problems

1.  I sometimes can not play many tracks.  Either I can play six tracks (maybe more), or I am just limited to one track.  For  the time being this problem seems to have cleared up.
2.  This morning when starting a new file, when I selected a loop to see if I wanted to include it, by clicking on that loop's icon, the loop would play over and over again until I selcted anoter loop, then  that loop would be in an infinite loop also.  This problem went away when I started another new file.
3.  When playing a file repeditively using the repeat button, giving the yellow stripe on the time line, sometimes the play did not go to the end of the yellow stripe.  The play would stop in the middle and go back to the beginning of the yellow stripe and continue playing.
I have a Mackbook running 10.6.8, with Garageband 4.1.2

  • Adobe Photoshop Lightroom has encountered a problem and needs to close. (ver 1.4.1)

    I completed a search for this problem here and other forums, and found very useful information, however, I still need help. My laptop is an HP Pavillion dv1000, Intel Centrino, Windows XP, 1.24G of RAM; Camera is a Canon 5D, shooting JPEG only.
    After a couple of weeks enjoying a vacation in the Caribbean, it was time to load all the new pics in the computer. I removed the card from my camera and using windows explorer, downloaded all pics in MyPictures folder. I created a new folder for this trip, and while I was there, I decided to reorganize several folders from previous trips. I renamed and moved folders around, deleted pictures, etc. (I believe that all the changes that I made created my problem.)
    Once I finished all the changes with my folders, I launched Lightroom (ver 1.4.1) with the idea of synchronizing the folders and start working on my new pictures. After apx 8 seconds, I got the message: Adobe Photoshop Lightroom has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience.
    After a google search, I found a lot of potential answers to my problem, including this one, which I tried:
    "It might also be worth trying a temporary test catalog, just to see whether it's specific to that catalog. To do so, go to File menu > New Catalog and create a new catalog somewhere easy - Desktop perhaps - and just try importing a few photos into that test catalog and see if you can get it to freeze. I'm wondering if the catalog's been damaged slightly by that initial unexpected close, and if so, we'll see if we can get that sorted out for you."
    I did exactly that (created a test catalog) and I don't get the error. I am not clear on what does that mean. Could you help me understand it? What do I need to do to use my old catalog? Is it damaged? How can I fix it? Did I loose all the work that I did in my previous pictures?
    If I go back to my original catalog, I still get the error.
    Thank you in advanced for your assistance.
    Tony

    Tony,
    Here's something you might try:
    Create a new, empty catalogue and try File->Import from catalog... and specify your broken one as input. With luck the damage will be left behind.
    If that doesn't work, try deleting or renaming your preferences file. Look here for its location.
    And if that doesn't work, try deleting or renaming your presets folder. See that same website for details.
    Let us know how you make out.

  • Adobe Acrobat 9.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close

    Hi!
    I'd like to start using Adobe Acrobat 9.0 with Acrobat.com, but I don't get very far before I get the error message "
    Adobe Acrobat 9.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close." This happens after I click "distribute form" and fill out the email addresses. It get to the point of starting to publish the response files and then the error message pops up and I can't go any further. I've made sure to uninstall older versions of Acrobat and I restarted my computer. I have a PC and am running Windows XP and IE 7. Help!

    Bill:
    Thanks for all the tips. Actually I already did most of this (multiple times) to no avail.
    ·         I’m running Win XP Pro SP3 on a Dell Latitude D630 laptop with 2GB memory.
    ·         I Bought Acrobat 7 Standard (it came bundled with my scanner) so I do have that CD and the key
    ·         I purchased the upgrade to Acrobat 9 Standard on-line for $99.
    ·         Actually, everything was working fine until I uninstalled ATM. (I did that because my laptop wouldn’t undock or hibernate and I read that ATM could be the cause.)
    ·         I’ve done several repairs from Control Panel. Didn’t help.
    ·         Finally, this morning I decided to uninstall everything and install a trial version of Adobe 9 PRO from their web site. That didn’t work either.
    ·         I notice that none of these actions has brought ATM back. On the other hand, I can’t find a place from where I can download ATM either.
    Here’s the really funny thing. Acrobat is not completely broken. I can actually get it to work for the first few seconds. And if I type real fast, I can even save the pdf file that it opens before it crashes! For example, if I click on a pdf file on a web page and it is small enough that it opens right away, I can click the save button and hit OK immediately (don’t mind where it saves the file, I can find and move it later) before I get the “Adobe Acrobat 9.0 has encountered a problem and needs to close.  We are sorry for the inconvenience.” message. The same happens if I just open Acrobat and let it sit. It doesn’t crash immediately. It takes about 5 seconds before it does.
    This should give a clue as to where/why it is crashing.
    Tomorrow I’m going to try and get Adobe on a chat line and have them take a look.
    Let me know if you get any other good ideas. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
    Thanks,
    Jamshed Mulla

  • I get an error message when trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro. The message says "windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. I don't have anything connected to my computer. How do I fix this?

    I'm trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro. I went through the process of bootcamp telling it to install windows 7. Once the windows boot manager started an error message came up. The error message says " windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer. I don't have a usb connected to my computer. I  am using windows 7 professional install disc. I  can't figure out what i am doing wrong. The same message keeps coming up over and over. Am I doing something wrong or is it something else?

    Well, shucks, i just spent almost 30 minutes trying to find your model user guide to explain it better, I guess they never got around to making it.....
    I would just borrow another Windows disk and try installing it again and if it does it again then you might take it to an Apple Store and see if one of the "Genius' " can figure it out.
    Make sure your internet is enabled and click on your blank desktop and at the top of your screen is a Help menu option, enter PRAM and it should give you a list of things relating to Pram. It may take a few seconds to list anything as it has to connect to Apples severs first. It should list the things you may have to fill back in when your done.
    "P-ram" stores some common information that is used in the background, your date, time, startup disk, etc, that you don't have to re-fill when you restart, it's a little different for each computer.

  • Itunes will not open- "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close"

    My iTunes will not open anymore, giving me the error message: "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes several times, and with different versions. Nothing I do seems to work. I have even copied the program files from a friend whose iTunes does work, hoping that would fix it, but to no avail. Has anyone discovered a way to fix this problem. I have a friend who has the same problem, but hasn't been able to fix it either.

    What happens when you go into control panel, click on the Quick Tunes config icon, and then select the audio tab? If you get an error, Quick Time is corrupted. Also double check your sound card drivers. Can you play any sound at all? Does Windows Media Player function? What is you anti virus software?

    Our family has several apple devices, iPad, touch, and now iMac, our original iTunes are all under a different apple id.  do we keep our own accounts even in cloud? do we all have access to each others media? (First time out with all this..)

    There is no problem about using one ID for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match, and another for iCloud and its email and syncing facilities. This way you can all use the same iTunes account but have separate emails and calendars etc.

  • Error message after upgrade to iTunes 11: "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly."  At this point my PC running XP loses all audio.

    Several attempts to upgrade to iTunes 11 have failed.  After an upgrade to 11 the error message reads: "iTunes has detected a problem with your audio configuration. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly."  At this point--after the upgrade to iTunes 11--my PC running Windows XP loses audio playback for all functions--in iTunes, in the browser and the volume icon disappears from the System Tray.  Only by removing iTunes 11, and then using System Restore to turn back the OS settings can I return the PC to normal functioning.
    I did that.  I reinstalled iTunes 10.5.  Everything seemed fine, but when I try to plug in and copy a CD to my iPhone 4S an error message reads roughly: 'iPhone 4S requires iTunes 10.5 or higher to work.'
    What might be the problem with my audio configuration?
    Why doesn't my iPhone 4S work with iTunes 10.5?  It used to work with iTunes 10.5.
    Please advise.

  • This drive has a hardware problem that can't be repaired

    Hello all! I'm using a late 2009 27" iMac (2.8 GHz, 12 GB Ram).  I've been noticing a lot of insanely slow speed lately, mostly in opening new folders or restarting. I ran the Disk Utility and it maked my internal 1TB drive as "This drive has a hardware problem that can't be repaired". Thankfully I have a 2tb backup external that has all my data on it, but now it's time to decide what to do.
    1. Try and reformat my hard drive and reinstall the backup
    2. Replace the drive with a new internal drive (and look for the best solution... thinking either a hybrid drive, SSD+internal or a 7200 RPM drive)
    3. Throw my iMac into the sea.
    4. Cry
    So basically my question is:
    Is my drive dead and should i even try to help it? (I don't qualitfy for the TB repair from Apple and my Applecare is up)
    What are the best performance upgrades for an internal. 7200 internal? 7200 Hybrid? both an SSD and an internal drive?
    Thank you in advance.

    You will have to see what the SMART report is for the drive in Disk Utility. If it says "Verified" then the drive should be OK. All you need do is repartition and reformat the drive. On the other hand if DU reports the drive has an I/O problem then the drive is probably bad.
    Initially why not just try this:
    Drive Preparation
    1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    7. Quit DU when formatting has completed. Install Snow Leopard.

  • I downloaded OS Mountain Lion 10.8... and when I was getting ready to install I get "This disk has S.M.A.R.T. errors.  This disk has a hardware problem that can't be repaired.  I have read some of the same comments below.  Why?

    I was trying to install OS X Mountain Lion 10.8... and I got an error saying, "This disk has S.M.A.R.T. errors.  This disk has a hardware problem that can't be repaired.  I saw several other questions below of people having the same or similar problems.  Does this mean that my hard drive is about to crash?  I plan to head to the place I purchased and have it checked out.  I backed up my data a couple of days ago.  Any comments?

    Yes, S.M.A.R.T. is a built-in diagnostic on the hard drive, and it is reporting a problem that may cause it to fail.
    You can see the same status in Disk Utility, and possibly get more info.  Run Disk Utility and select the DRIVE in the sidebar.  Be sure to select the DRIVE and not the volume indented below it.  At the bottom of the window, there is a field for S.M.A.R.T. Status.  If there is no problem, it should say Verified.
    You can also do a Get Info on the drive (File -> Get Info) in Disk Utility, and the Info window provides more detailed information (toward the bottom) about what is being checked.

  • IPodService Module has encountered a problem and needs to close

    After allowing Windows XP to install Service Pack 3, I started getting the error message "iPodService Module has encountered a problem and needs to close" whenever I plugged my iPod 60 Gb into my PC. I spent months, literally, reading and asking and trying things before stumbling onto a fix that worked. I got the hint from a thread in some forum, then verified it with the software manufacturers. Apparently, Windows XP SP3 writes a bunch of garbage entries into your registry, and in the process corrupts some of the existing entries (thanks a lot, Microsoft, I mean really, thanks just too much. That service pack was soooo helpful). Included in the corrupted entries are a LOT of the ones used by Norton Antivirus 2008. This causes Norton to somehow prevent the device manager from recognizing anything (device manager window comes up blank) and apparently also causes iTunes to be unable to recognize the iPod. Here is the fix I used (a hybrid of several sets of instructions from various sources, including Symantec). I don't know if every step is crucial, I just know it worked.
    1) Uninstall Norton Antivirus 2008
    2) Use the registry editor (Run: regedit) to locate and delete every line beginning with the string $%&'( BE CAREFUL-don't delete or change anything else !
    3) Reinstall Norton Antivirus 2008 and update it using Live Update
    4) Uninstall iTunes
    5) Download and install latest version of iTunes from Apple
    6) Connect iPod (iTunes recognized it at this point)
    7) Use iTunes to update iPod software
    I read a lot of posts from a lot of frustrated people experiencing this or similar problems. I hope this helps at least some of them.

    Hey everyone... been watching these threads closely because, I too have this issue.
    One question though... what if you don't use Norton??? I can't possibly believe that everyone with this issue uses Norton... I use AVG. When I search my registry, I get no results.
    Does anyone have any input? Everything I read mentions Norton. This problem seems to have gone on forever, I can't believe it hasn't been solved eith by Apple, Microsoft or both.

  • Getting "HPNetworkCommunicator.exe has encountered a problem an needs to close" message

    I have an HP Photosmart B210e, product number CN219A.    I am running Windows XP 32 bit and I am using a wireless connection to print. The problem is occuring on an HP Compaq 8510p laptop.
    I have been using the printer for several months and it has worked great but about a week ago, I started getting an error message.   The first time I try to use the printer after turning on the computer I get a message saying "HPNetworkCommunicator.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close".  I am unable to print from that point forward.  Documents that I attempt to print just sit in the qeue.  However, if I shut the computer down and restart it, the print jobs will print on their own as soon as the computer boots up.  But then if I try to print another document I get the same error message and am unable to print.  Once I get the error message I am unable to use the HP software to check ink levels or communicate with the printer in any way.
    I have attempted reinstalling the driver and software 2 times without any success.  I have run the HP print diagnostic utility and it tells me that "everything checks out okay with your printer" and asks me if I want to print a test page.  I try to print the test page and it is unable to print it.
    I have the printer installed on another computer running windows 7 and it still works great.
    Please let me know how I can fix this problem
    I am unaware of any changes made to my computer other than the automatic windows and Mcafee updates.

    I have exactly the same problems.  If you com up with an answer before I do please reply here. I'll do the same.

  • Quicktime player has encountered a problem and needs to close.

    Hi, I'm having real problems running QT on my pc. I've tried several combinations eg- 7.02 with Itunes, 7.02 without itunes plus also the last 6.? version.
    Each time,the programme is fine until it reboots. Then it is unable to open either programme- bringing up 'Quicktime player has encountered a problem and needs to close' screen.
    I'm guessing its quite a common problem but I don't have enough time to trail through all the posts.
    Please can someone offer me some advice, Its driving me crazy!
    Thanks

    Can someone please help me with this??

  • The application has encountered a problem and needs to close

    I'm building an application on LV using TABs, FPGA DLLs and DLLs that comunicate with CAN, GPIB and PCI devices.
    The program apears to work properly but sometimes, and I can't see the patern, it crashes with the error "the application has encountered a problem and needs to close..."
    Sometimes the error apears when I'm trying to exit the program, some other times it crashes before that.
    I can't find the error because the program may work well for several hours and then crash or it crashes after 5 minutes of working with it.
    Any clues on what is going wrong?

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I'm still going through the example, but since the error ocours sporadicaly this could take some time to pinpoint the error.
    I was reviewing the code and I was wondering about some simple things, like:
    - I have to many local variables, could this be causing somekind of an error?
    - since I'm using DLLs on my code, are there a way to make sure that all DLLs are loaded and unloaded correctly?
    My program has a TAB with a simple TestStand user interface and when I change TABs I close the teststand ui; when I use that user interface I load and unload the same DLLs that I use on the other TABs, i. e., when using the UI I load all the DLLs that comunicate with the devices and when I change TABs I unload all the DLLs because on each separate TAB I can control those devices indicidually.
    It's a bit hard to explain but I think I managed
    Is there some truth on my questions? If so, what could I do?
