Unable to create a narration in PE12 for Mac.

On a Mac mini, OSX 10.9.4, using Apple earbuds plugged into the earphone jack, using Adobe Premiere Elements 12.1. I confirmed the built-in mic in those earbuds works properly when I tested in OSX Dictation tool in System Preferences.  However in Adobe Premiere Elements Editor 12, when I click the Record button in the Narration tool, it complains "Your current audio hardware selection does not have any input channels.  Use Preferences/Audio Hardware/Default Device to correct this problem."  Attempting that, I see the Preferences dialog for Audio Hardware has Default Device set to Built-In Output (since I've never changed it, I presume that must be factory default), which apparently works for audio out to the earbuds which I have used over the course of several projects without using the Narration Tool, but not for audio input from them to the Narration Tool.   I tried to change Default Device to System Default Input/Output (seemingly logical choice, given the factory default Built-In Output wasn't working for audio input from the earbuds).  The dialog then complains "Ensure that you have launched Adobe Premiere Elements in administrator mode, and have sufficient privileges to change the audio settings."  I am logged into OSX as an administrator user.  Is there some arcane keystroke sequence to launch AE in some administrator mode, as the dialog suggests?  Other suggestions?

Premiere Elements 12 Mac
I am strictly an Elements Windows user, but I try to answer these Premiere Elements Mac question on common ground between Premiere Elements Windows and Mac.
What specific microphone are you using for Narration. Is it the type that requires a USB connection, computer jack, or other type of connection to the computer?
If I have my microphone connected to the computer (via computer jack) and it is recognized by Premiere Elements, I will see it
a. Cited under the Microphone Icon in the Narration Tool dialog
and
b. Listed under Edit Menu/Preferences/Audio Hardware ASIO Input.
From what you wrote, I suspect that Premiere Elements is not recognizing your microphone. Do you see it present in "a" or "b" above?
If the microphone is not connected, you will get no response clicking on the Microphone Icon in the Narration Tool dialog, and you will not see it listed under Edit Menu/Preferences/Audio Hardware ASIO Input.
Double check to make sure that the User Account is one with Administrative Privileges. That is need for Premiere Elements as well as the required QuickTime.
In Windows, I also apply Run As Administrator by right clicking the program's desktop icon and selecting that option. I am not sure if there is a counterpart of the Run As Administrator in Mac.
Please review and consider and then we can discuss this further in the morning.
Thanks.
ATR
Add On...Please give more details on the Apple device that you are using as the microphone. Is it considered a "built in microphone"? Is there any built in microphone in the computer monitor?

  • Unable to attach PDF to email (Outlook for Mac 2011)

    We are pushing out software upgrades for CS5 and MS Office 2011 for Mac. We've discoverd that we can't use the Attach to email feature in Acrobat. The spinning rainbow wheel pops up for about a minute, and then Acrobat is non-responsive and we have to force quit. We can still drag and drop an attachment so we have a viable workaround but obviously we'd like to be able to use the automated feature.
    All software is up-to-date.
    In the preferences panel of Outlook, we have selected Outlook to be the default mail application.
    As a sidenote, this feature doesn't work with Acobat X beta either. However, in the beta version of Acrobat X, if we declare Apple's mail application to be the default, it works fine. Unfortunately we use the Office suite as part of our enterprise system, so that's what we need to work with.
    Has anyone else experienced this? I've logged a ticket with Adobe but I haven't heard back from them yet.
    Thanks for any advise.

    Take the bhama way
    figured out how to make it work.  I am using Adobe Acrobat X Pro (mac)
    and MS Outlook for Mac 2011.
    For those who are interested, this is what I did:
    1. Create a folder on desktop to save your pdf¹s files you want to email
    to.  Mine is named, "PDF to Email"
    2. Open Automator, create a "Folder Action"
    3. At the top, "Choose Folder", choose your newly created folder on the
    desktop
    4. Choose the "Rename Finder Items" action from the action list.  I chose,
    "Don¹t Add" on the add a Copy Finder Items Action menu.
    5. On the "Add Date or Time to Finder Item Names" I chose, "Name Single
    Item" from the first drop down menu.
    6. Click on "Options" at the bottom of that window to select the "Show
    this action when the workflow runs" so you can rename your         file
    something other than the Acrobat default.
    7. Choose the "Create New Outlook Mail Message" from the action list and
    add it below the "Name Single Item in Finder Item Names"
    8. Choose "File>Save As" and give your file a name.  Mine is, "PDF to
    Email".
    9. Close Automator
    10. Open Acrobat X Pro.
    11. Go to "File>Action Wizard>Create New Action"
    12. Here you choose, "Save to>A Folder on my computer"
    13. Choose the folder on the desktop that we saved earlier
    14. Save the file, with the action name you will remember.
    Now when you are in Acrobat X Pro and you want to send that .pdf file via
    Outlook for Mac 2011, follow the steps below.
    With the file you want to email open, go to "File>Action Wizard>(Action
    you created) Mine is "PDF to Email".  It will take a few seconds, but you
    will get an "Action Completed".  You will get a pop up that allows you to
    name/rename the file. Then it should open your Outlook with your .pdf
    attached and ready for sending.
    You might need to tweak the actions to suit your needs, but this should
    work for you.

  • Unable to create the portable home directory for this user

    This is driving me nuts!
    I have a network user who I can login to on any machine on the network. I want a PHD to be created on a laptop and eveytime I answer 'yes' to 'create PHD for this user' I get the "unable to create the PHD for this user" message.

    I fixed this by unbinding the laptop from the od server as I had used this user previously for PHD's on this machine. Setting up the machine to bind to OD again and all is well.

  • Two-fold question, can I export pictures from iphoto to an external drive? I have not been able to create volumes on My Passport for Mac when exporting photos, why is that?

    I have a Mac Book Pro that I use iphoto 6 for my pictures. However, I noticed my hard drive was filling up too rapidly so I purchased a WD My Passport for Mac 500GB. I select photos(the number does not matter), click File>export, and select the location(and yes, I specify the size of picture's maximum, and the file extension, and I click Export and the export initializes and then stops. Telling me that it is unable to create the volumes ont the My Passport. There is plenty of space on the hard drive. I don't know what I am doing wrong. It seems like the process should be very simple to MOVE, COPY, EXPORT photos. Why is this so difficult? What am I doing wrong?

    My photo library cumulative is maybe 1.3 GB tops, however I back it up to the external drive every upload. I don't think the issue is converting calculations because as I said in my previous post, sometimes when I stop transfer to the SD flash drive and restart the copying process it will complete the library of 60-80 photos in about 2 minutes like it should. The issue is that it will not proceed to copy most of the time, and the copying status bar says preparing for a long time

  • Unable to perform update with Sony Bridge for Mac

    I have not been able to update my Xperia Z1 (model C6906) through Sony Bridge for Mac.
    While attempting this in SBM version 3.5 the following messages would appear:
    There was an issue with the update engine. Please contact technical support. (reason:failed to start local server)
    then:
    There was an issue with the update engine. Please contact technical support. (reason:failed to parse installer XML(code 11))
    SBM has now updated to version 3.6(3602) and still no luck. The software is able to download the update engine but then remains stuck in the initializing phase, talking to update engine.
    My phone is at build# 14.1.G.2.257. The proposed update seems minor, as the build # doesn't change but it would be great to have this issue resolved in time for kitkat 4.4
    There doesn't appear to be a problem with the phone as the staff at the Sony Store were able to perform my initial out of the box update with PC Companion.
    My Mac is running  OS10.9 and the java version is 1.6.0_65

  • Unable to create Sales order from "BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2" for Free Goods

    Hi Experts,
    I am facing the issue while creating the Sales order through "BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2" , all is going well in normal cases but when I process the contract with FREE GOODS line items for which free goods condition record is maintained it fails to create the Sales order. Is there any special treatment for this Free goods case. Is there any Flag to be passed from BAPI?
    Regards,

    Hi Paaavan
    You can set a break-point include "FV45PFAP_VBAP_BEARBEITEN_VORBE" that is called by both the SAP Standard and BAPI where the data is prepared and checked in the internal table XVBAP. Compare both SAP standard VA01 and your 'Z' program for what may be different in XVBAP.
    I think the problem my be with regards to the business_object number that is hardcoded in the standard function module. It has given me issues before and hence I tend to use the function module  SD_SALESDOCUMENT_CREATE to create sales documents with.

  • Unable to create view on COSP table for enpense related GL accounts.

    Hi,
    I want to extract only expense GL accounts related expense into BW. I tried to use standard data source: 0CO_OM_CCA_01 & 0CO_OM_CCA_02. but as these two data sources doesn't have profit center, trading partner and segment. so we are planning to use a view on table: COSP.
    When I am trying to create a view, its throwing error "the reference field is from some different table".
    Need your suggestion in creating the view.
    Regards,
    Ravi.

    Hi Ravi,
    Before deciding to create a generic DataSource, you should evaluate the options to enhance a Business Content DataSource. It is possible to extend the extract structure with additional fields and fill them in Enhancement RSAP0001 or BAdI RSU5_SAPI_BADI.
    If you would decide to go for a generic DataSource after all, then please share more details on the issue you are facing. I.e. detailed error message(s), screenshots, etc.
    Best regards,
    Sander
