Urmm, what the **** has just happened?

Dear all,
I have just had perhaps one of the worst moments of my life. A potential client was in to see how we work and things, and so I said I could show him our workflow, and opened up a song that I had done a couple of months ago as it has a particularly complex arrangement etc and is a good show-off piece for people who might be interested in paying you!
Now here's the shocker.
Everything is out of time. Bits have moved. Rewire is no longer in sync. Audiofiles have miraculously chopped themselves up. MIDI events have moved. What on earth can I do? My backup is not a very recent version. Has this happened to anyone else? I had never opened the song in 7.1.1 before...
Please, if anyone has any ideas, please, please, please...
All the best, Fred

This describes something I've just recently experienced. Last week I bought a new hard drive (for system & apps) and installed everything fresh, although it was time consuming. (My previous system drive was working perfectly.) Now I notice on a couple songs, the tracks started playing in a jumbled timing manner. All the audio files were playing in the wrong places. The song was a mess. When I closed the program, and relaunched the song, it played correctly, which leads me to believe it's some kind of accessing issue. Don't know what it is though...

  • [nForce] Wow! What the hell just happened

          
    Ok heres the senario,  i get this mornings mail in on my computer as usual and shut down as normal with no problems.  I take the kids to playgroup.  I pop back 30 mins later to find the main trip fuse in the fuse box of the house tripped off.  Switch it back on and wizz round the house to f ind out what isnt working any more.  I walk in to the living room and try to fire up the pc.  Nothing happens but..... all i can here in the peace and quiet of the house is a tiny tiny high pitched fast beep coming from the front - definately the front of the pc towards the bottom - in line with its battery.  Anyway I check the UPS as due to the mains going off its alarm was sounding when i walked into the house.  So I checked that it had come back on when I reset the mains fuse box.  It was on and showing full charge.  So I check the power cable from the UPS to the computer, that's ok and fired up the monitor as a quick check.   Anyway I had to whizz back to play group as I was on parent duty. 
    3 hours later I came back and could still hear the tiny beeping coming frm the front of the box.  30 mins later it had stopped.  That suggest to me that it meant the computer battery is now dead.  So until I have replaced that there is no way the computer has even a chance of starting.  However even when replaced i dont think that may solve the problem as I cant believe a dying battery would cause the mains fuse of the house to trip.
    So you fantastic experts who have helped me out many a time,  any ideas on what the problem is?  Its puzzling me until my better half can do a test on the PSU to see if its blown as to why, when it was turned off should it trip the mains in the house with no damage to the UPS or the surge protecter that I have looking after its other periperals etc?
    Thanks in advance for any tips and assistance

    If the PSU was full of dust you had better check the rest too. Dusty fans are much less effective. Dust on components create static electricity and poor heat dissipation. ...In short, things are clogging up!
    Addit: Antec 380W TruePower, Zalman 400W - B, Hiper 425 Watt or more are things to consider.
       Yes - we do that very regulary as we do have a major dust problem.  I have to hoover it out probably every couple of months.  For some daft reason we never even considered taking apart the psu to check that inside.  So it had about 18 months worth of dust inside it.    The next one will be taken apart - my better half being an electrician can do that sort of thing but if he wouldnt recommend doing it otherwise.
    Anyway thanks for the recommendations Fredrik - i think we are going for a 500 or even a 600 this time.

  • What the **** has Apple done now? iPhone 4 no longer syncs correctly

    After all the B/S of trying to sync a SonyEriccson P1i the iPhone 4 was a beath of fresh air. So typically 'Apple' with its simplicity and efficiency.
    Yet suddenly it will not sync correctly. Is it iTunes 10.1.2 or iOS 4.2.1 to blame? I have no idea.
    Only some of the new contacts entered into the phone transfer to the Address Book. Those that do not will not transfer in ANY direction ie. neither from MBP to iPhone or vice-versa. Enter in a nonsense address and it will sync. Modify it to one of the 'troublesome' addresses in the Adrees Book and it will not update on the iPhone.
    What the **** has Apple done now? Is this another crappy untested update somewhere?

    Right then, for those who want to know the most likely suspect for all this sync'ing grief is the Sony Ericsson P1i.
    Having finally got the iPhone talking to iTunes normally with latest contacts, calendar, Mail accounts etc AND syncing new contacts in BOTH directions (MBP to iP4 and iP4 to MBP) I then synced the SE P1i with the latest definitive up-to-date Address Book using Device Reset in order to wipe the phone first.
    Everything suddenly stopped working again with the iPhone/iTunes syncing.
    Getting it working again involved importing an old Address Book backup and doing a manual iPhone sync. Then restart everything, throw away the iPhone backup within iTunes, open up Mail and just click on stuff before closing it (because the Mail Accounts had also disappeared from the iPhone again), doing a manual 'One-Time' sync of Contacts forcing the computer info onto the iPhone, re-importing the latest Address Book backup on the MBP, doing one more manual sync, restart everything, throw away the iphone backup and then an auto sync.
    Finally, everything gets loaded back onto the iPhone and the ability to add or delete contacts on both iPhone and MBP is reinstated with sync in both directions.
    Moral of the story? Crush your Sony Ericsson. The P900 series used to sync cleanly and easily via Bluetooth (both Contacts AND Calendars), but the P1i is and always has been troublesome and difficult and has a VERY unstable Bluetooth connection. I went through months of misery with the third-party app Missing Sync and suffered corrupted computer Address Books all the time. A real piece of SH1T.

  • Opening the dashboard(XLF) file from BOE repository is  locking of my SAP USER ID(SBOP) again again .....Urgently need solution. Don't know what the damn thing happening with me.

         Hi Experts,
                Since from 15 days  I am working on one Dashboard with BEX query, now I have completed that I am able to run that till yesterday. But today my SAP USER ID expired(every 15 days it expires). I have updated same password in all places(CMC OLAP, UNV,IDT) and tried to open the same XLF (which was running fine till yesterday ) after opening that if I tried to edit query or tried to add query or clicked on preview....all ending with locking of my SAP USER ID(SBOP) ..............Don't know what the damn thing happening please seng if you know any solution.
    Experts need help to solve this issue urgently .........:)
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi Mahantesh,
    We have faced same scenario,this is happening due to SAP User ID password change.
    Stop all the BO work and change the password of SAP everywhere used.Any single point will lock it again.
    Try this.This has worked for us.

  • What on earth just happened?

    I'll definitely call the after-sales support about this - first thing Monday morning - but I thought someone here might know something as well.
    I was using GarageBand. When I tried to start a new project, the OS shut down the program and the noise-making rotating device inside the computer (the fan, I suppose) just started to spin faster and faster.
    I couldn't shut down the computer normally since the pointer would appear as the rainbow ball. I put the computer to sleep by closing the display, but the noise just got higher and higher.
    At this point the noise was so high-pitched and alarming that I thought the computer was going to explode or something. I opened the display and shut down the computer by pressing the I/O button for a few seconds.
    Nice. I haven't had the guts (even though I'm Finnish) to start the computer yet. I thought I should let it get a little cooler.
    What happened? Has anyone else had any similar experiences?
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   2.0 GHz / 1 GB
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    A hung program (or even more rarely, a hung system) can cause processor use to max out. When this happens, the temperature naturally goes higher, causing the fans to kick in. If the program/system doesn't finish its task, thus allowing the processor to come down from 100% and cool off, then the fans will max out themselves.
    If this happens again, try hitting command-option-escape, to bring up the force-quit window. If a program shows up in red, it's hung and possibly using maxing out the processor. Force-quit the program and see if the fans come down shortly after.
    If the force-quit window doesn't appear, then the system itself is hung, and you're indeed best off to hold down the power button to switch the computer off.
    Though i don't have a Macbook myself to verify this bit, my assumption is that attempting to put it to sleep will not succeed if the system is hung.

  • Apple TV 6.0 update what the Hello-O happened?

    Why did my apple tv, which by the way, was working just fine a few hours ago, suddenly stop working completely when i updated to the 6.0 ???? THere is NEXT TO NOTHING on my screen now except for the COMPUTERS link and the SETTINGS link.... these are the ONLY two things on the screen now along with the words TV in light black.... what am i supposed to do? was going to show something to a work group and now i cant its all gone and down... what the ****-o happened!?!?!?!  IS APPLE GONNA FIX THIS? LIKE TONIGHT? OR WHEN!? some stuff i have read is from Sept 22 and here i just updated tonight OCT 1.... is this not fixed yet?  APPLE YOU ARE KILLING ME!

    Hi BourgeoisPhotography.com,
    I had a similar problem when I did a software update on my Apple TV. I read some one elses post and found out that I had to connect my Apple TV to my computer/itunes with a micro usb cord that you can buy at an electronics store.
    to get the Apple TV to appear in itunes you have to plug thhe micro usb into your Apple TV and computer but dont plug it into the power until it appears on itunes. then click the recover button and wait aand dont unplug anything until the process is complete. After plugging it into  your tv you may find that the error picture may return. To fix this just unplug your Apple TV and plug it back in again. I also found I had to change the time zone, and restart it with the restart option to get it to stream properly. 

  • In iPhoto the double click to enlarge a photo is now a ! in a triangle and I am Unable to print from iPhoto. This has just happened out of the blue.

    Hi All.
    In iPhoto I have lost the double click that opensup photos, the double click now appears as a ! in a triangle. At the same time I have lost the print facility in iPhoto. This happened out of the blue and I have been unable to reconcile either problem. Can anyone help please.
    Bill

    The ! means that iPhoto has lost connection to the origianl file.
    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • When typing, my letters go all over the screen, just happens with Firefox.

    After installing Firefox, when I type, the letters go all over the screen, instead of where I try to type them. I used to type without looking at the screen. Now I have to watch... my cursor disappears, and the letters I'm typing go into something I've previously typed correctly.

    Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

  • What just happened? HD password suddenly doesn't work...

    Alright this is a tricky one.  W520 w/ Intel SSD.
    I've got a Supervisor (SPV) password set for my BIOS as well as a HD password set. 
    I don't think I had a Power-on password set but I'm not sure.
    No problems, my password has always worked. 
    I'm working and I have my laptop plugged into my LAN via Ethernet and I shut down.  I always use wireless but was working with my router settings so had it plugged in via Ethernet this time.
    When I start up, it started trying to boot from LAN, I see the Intel Boot manager start up (screen saying Press Ctrl + S to change options), and of course there is nothing on my LAN to PXE boot from so it proceeds after failing.
    Then it asks for my Supervisor password, I enter it, works, asks for my HD password, I enter it, doesn't work.  I try again, doesn't work.  Try a third time, locks me out.  I restart the machine. 
    The next time it asks for my HD password first rather than my Supervisor password, which doesn't work again.  I reboot again. 
    Third time through this charade and for some reason the HD password works now but only to get me into the BIOS -- meaning I've pressed F1 and it asks for my password and lets me into the BIOS settings.
    From here I try to remove the User password on the hard drive but it does not accept the password -- the same password I just entered and it accepted. 
    Now I'm not fat fingering or anything, the password is simple and I'm making sure I'm typing it in exactly correct.
    So somehow powering off and powering on with my Ethernet cable connected has majorly screwed up my passwords in the BIOS.  I think it was set to re-order boot devices if Wake-on-LAN was enabled or something, but something in that process must have screwed up my BIOS config.   I don't know what to do.  I don't understand what the heck is happening here. Password works then all of a sudden doesn't?

    But the real question is why for the past year did the passwords work and then all of the sudden after this anomaly the disk password doesn't work?  I'm not 100% sure of what my configuration was, but I know that most of the time it required one password -- supervisor, and occasionally it asked for 2 -- disk password as well I believe.  This may have been related to the Password on Restart setting I think -- asking for the disk password on cold vs. warm boot.  But I know both were exactly the same.  But after this incident only the Supervisor password worked.

  • What the **** happened?????

    OK I've faithfuly used my Ipod 5th Gen. for years now and had no major problems. Until the oter day, I was listening to my pod on shuffle when a song started to play it would skip to the next one without finishing the last one. It continued to do this and when I would manually skip to the next song it would freeze for a sec. then move on continueing to skip tru more than half of the song on to the next. This went on till I tried turning it off and it wouldn't turn off so I left it alone. I went back to it later and went to turn it on and the little apple appears and then it says to connect it to the puter and restore with Itunes. OK,so I did. Itunes reconizes it and tells me to restore it so I do. It goes tru the process and says its done, to leave it connected and Itunes will find it when it restarts, which it does, but when it does it tells me that it found a Ipod in recovery mode and it needs to be restored! The Ipod wont cahrge only when connected to puter,The little flashing circle with a slash used to be red and now the color is just black and white,It keeps telling me to restore with Itunes but when I do nothing happens...WHAT THE **** HAPPENED??? Missing my Ipod dearly

    that I know of just the printer and an external cd drive as far as network not sure dsl connection. I uninstalled itunes and reinstalled it. It worked for a min. until I loged off of that user and went under a different user than it went back into its stupid recovery loop thing now I can't gei it to do anything again.The computer tells me that I need to reformat it but when I go to do that it says that windows cant do it. I then tried it in command mode and it also told me that it could not reformat it. I'm thinking the harddrive is just finally shot in it. I don't know wat else to do but throw it over the bridge...It's just a cool looking paper weight for now till I can figure what the h@ll happened!

    My images will not show in the Finder Pictures folders, but just display as jpeg thumbnails.  I have to open each one to see what photo it is.  This has just recently started to happen.

    I made sure the 'Show Icon Preview' box was checked.  This is about all I can do, really, Frank, as i don't know enough about the workings of these machines to start fiddling about.
    Strangely the images show as previews in some folders, yet not in others, even though they come from the same sources (my camera and my phone).

    Have you tried connecting it to your computer and restoring the iPod via iTunes?
    If iTunes does not see the iPod try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then restoring the iPod.  For recovery mode see:
