Volume Changes when File is Exported as aiff...

Hello, I am aiming to export my audio files to aiff however, when I open the exported file with iTunes, the level of the volume is significantly lower than it was in the Logic playback. Can someone recommend how to correct this so that the volume stays consistent from one file type to another?
Thanks!

Turn off sound enhancer and sound check features in iTunes.
and set iTunes volume to maximum - this iTunes slider is like the master slider in Logic, only 0 in iTunes is the maximum value:
I found it helps to always adjust your actual listening level with hardware controls (interface, amp, etc) and keep all audio apps at unity gain - only mix in Logics' mixer. It keeps things that are already complicated just a bit easier.

Page size changes when file is exported or saved to pdf

I have an illustrator file that is 8.625 x 11.125, purposely made a bit larger than a standard letter sized paper for the bleed effect I am trying to achieve. When I save the file as a pdf or export it asa jpg or tiff itgets shrunk to letter size and the the edge I created with the extra .125 inches is now 'cut' to letter size not just shrunk. How do I save the file so it stays 8.625 x 11.125 inches.

Milan,
Make sure the paper/Crop Area size is the right one, and preferably state version. My guess is CS, or maybe CS3.

Why does the Date Created metadata change when images are exported?How do I stop it from changing?

why does the Date Created metadata change when images are exported? How do I stop it from changing? I must have a prefernce set up wrong.

I don't know what OS you are using, or what application you are using to view the data about your exported files, but on Windows and using Windows Explorer the "Date Created" field relates only to the date that the exported file was created, i.e. if viewed immediately after export it will show the date created as being the same date. In order to view "Capture Date" in something like Explorer, you first have to ensure you have included the Metadata as Conrad outlined above, then you have to adjust the display properties of Explorer to show the "Date Taken" field. Here is an example, part of a folder I exported back on March 3rd, note the difference between that last two dates:

Volume changes when headphone are plugged, but not when they are unplugged.

Hi!
Recently I been having an issue with my Macbook Pro 13.
When I connect my headphones to the MBP, the volume changes (as it should be), but when I take them out it doesn't return to normal, it just stays where it was when the headphones were connected.
Now, if i mute my internal speakers and connect the headphones the volume changes, but when i take them off, the volume returns to mute. So the problem is when both (internal speakers and headphones) are set to different volumes.
Here's a video that shows what happens in sound control panel (it's in spanish, "Auriculares"= Headphones and "Altavoces Internos"= Internal Speakers)

Does anyone else have this issue?
Thanks for your answers!

Try a hard reset of the Nano. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
I assume you have double checked to make sure you are plugging the headset all the way in meaning the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Nano?

Volume changes when ipod is tilted

This morning while I was headed out for my morning commute, I started my music and walked out the door. As I walked the volume changed - so, thinking it was being changed in my pocket I took it out and tilted it toward me. The volume went down without me touching it. I tilted it away from me and it went back up. I tilted it back and it went down again. Locking the ipod seemed to stop it - but I'm wondering if this thing is on it's last legs and to expect to buy another soon? Or if it's a fixable thing that others have encountered. I've had this ipod for ~6 years and I would hate to lose it now.

Group changes when file is created in the GUI

Hello All,
Here is a outline of my situation. On a 10.5 or 10.6 client machine if I go to System Prefs, Accounts and click on the "+" and change to "group" and add a new group called "video" and set the GID to 264, it will create the new group.
Then I create a new user, right click on the user and go to Advanced Options, change the UID to the number below, and change the GID to 264.
Now if I launch the terminal and create a new file from the terminal, and then ls -la that file all is well(see below). Then I go back to the desktop and open Text Edit, create a new file and save it, the new file belongs to the wheel group. ???
I found some info that said to get the umask to work proper I needed to create a file in /etc called launchd-user.conf and add the entry "umask 0007" to it. I did that, and now the permissions seem to work proper, just not the group.
Am I missing a step here somewhere along the way? Any help or ideas would be great!
Thanks
John

Notice, the permissions and group are not what we expect. I hope this helps understand the problem. Let me know if you need more info.

Two things are going on here.
When a new file or folder is created, the group specified is inherited from its parent folder. So if some folder "foo" has the group "video" specified, then all new files created in that folder will also get group "video". It seems like you know this already.
The problem you are having with TextEdit is that manner in which it saves new files. TextEdit creates a temporary directory first, saves the file there, and then moves the file to its proper destination folder as a final step. This is why it isn't getting the "video" group setting applied to it - it gets the "wheel" group from the temporary folder that it's really being created in. Some other Apple apps behave this way too - Safari when saving a web page to disk, for example.
I have filed a bug report to Apple about this a long time ago. The report I filed was listed as a "duplicate". I don't know when, if ever, this will be fixed.

File Created time changes when file renamed to previously used name

Any ideas on this one would be very gratefully received:
I am trying to rename a file then create a new one with the original name, as part of a solution to roll over log files after x days.
I found that the new file had the 'created time' of the original file, which messed up the logic badly. I tried to unpick this by creating the new file with a new name, then renaming it. The new file got the correct created time initially,
but as soon as I renamed it to the original name, the created time reverted to the created time of the earlier file.
I even tried simply deleting the old file altogether, but every attempt to get a new file with the original name resulted in the created time being that of the old file.
I have used different filesystemobject instantiations for the old and new files, and I even tried creating the new file in a different run of the script, and in a different cmd session. The only thing that worked was logging out and in again before
creating the new file!
Since the created time attribute is not writeable, I'm struggling to get round this.
Here is a stripped out version that demonstrates it. I have put 5 second waits in, so you can watch the created time get reset in front of your eyes when the new file gets renamed to the old name (might need to add a column for 'created time' to Windows
Explorer)
(OS is 2008 server R2 Enterprise)
$logdir = ".\"
$logfname = "roll.log"
$RollAtDays = 0 # for testing - so it always creates a new file
If ( -not ( test-path $logdir) ){ $newdir = New-Item $logdir -type directory }
$logfile = $logdir+$logfname
$newlog = $logdir+$logfname+".new"
$fso = New-Object -comobject Scripting.FileSystemObject
$date = Get-Date
# if file exists, test whether it requires rolling over
If ( test-path $logfile ){
$fo = $fso.GetFile( $logfile )
$dc = $fo.DateCreated
$RollDate = $dc.AddDays( $RollAtDays )
# write-host "$dc $RollDate"
If( $RollDate.CompareTo( $date ) -lt 0 ){
  write-host "Roll"
  $newPath = "$logdir$date-$logfname"
  $newPath = $newPath.Replace("/", "")
  $newPath = $newPath.Replace(" ", "-")
  $newPath = $newPath.Replace(":", "")
  $fo.Move( $newPath )
  #$fo.Delete( ) #tried both renaming and deleting the original file
  start-sleep -s 5
# some code to create a file if one doesn't exist
If ( -not ( test-path $logfile) ){
$header = "Date"
$fso1 = New-Object -comobject Scripting.FileSystemObject
$ts1 = $fso1.CreateTextFile( $newlog, $True )
$ts1.close()
start-sleep -s 5
$fo1 = $fso1.GetFile( $newlog )
$fo1.Move( $logfile )  # this is where the created date gets changed back
#add-content $logfile $header
# some code to add a line to the log
[string]$logline = "$date"
#add-content $logfile $logline

I have to disagree with the assessment that creation time is not writable:
Get-Item test1.txt | select creationtime
(Get-Item test1.txt).CreationTime = '07/03/2014'
Get-Item test1.txt | select creationtime

JFileChooser's approve button text changes when file

I have a JFileChooser used for loading some XML file(s). We want the approve button's text to be "Load". When I bring up the dialog, the button text initially reads "Load", when I select a directory, it reads "Open", if I select a file again, it goes back to "Load". So far, so good.
The problem comes when using it in a non-English language. When I bring up the dialog, the button text initially reads the appropriately translated "Load". However, when I select a directory, it changes to the English "Open". I do not see a method to use to adjust this text. Am I missing something, or is this a bug?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Jamie

Here's some code I'll put into the public domain:
package com.graphbuilder.desktop;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.Stack;
import java.util.Vector;
import java.util.StringTokenizer;
import java.io.File;
<p>Attempt to improve the behaviour of the JFileChooser. Anyone who has used the
the JFileChooser will probably remember that it lacks several useful features.
The following features have been added:
<ul>
<li>Double click to choose a file</li>
<li>Enter key to choose a file after typing the filename</li>
<li>Enter key to change to a different directory after typing the filename</li>
<li>Automatic rescanning of directories</li>
<li>A getSelectedFiles method that returns the correct selected files</li>
<li>Escape key cancels the dialog</li>
<li>Access to common GUI components, such as the OK and Cancel buttons</li>
<li>Removal of the useless Update and Help buttons in Motif L&F</li>
</ul>
<p>There are a lot more features that could be added to make the JFileChooser more
user friendly. For example, a drop-down combo-box as the user is typing the name of
the file, a list of currently visited directories, user specified file filtering, etc.
<p>The look and feels supported are Metal, Window and Motif. Each look and feel
puts the OK and Cancel buttons in different locations and unfortunately the JFileChooser
doesn't provide direct access to them. Thus, for each look-and-feel the buttons must
be found.
<p>The following are known issues: Rescanning doesn't work when in Motif L&F. Some
L&Fs have components that don't become available until the user clicks a button. For
example, the Metal L&F has a JTable but only when viewing in details mode. The double
click to choose a file does not work in details mode. There are probably more unknown
issues, but the changes made so far should make the JFileChooser easier to use.

My volume changes when songs change on 4S

This has been happening for a while now on my iPhone 4S i got in January. It started a few months ago. I'll change a song or when the song changes, the volume will be noticeably different. It seems it goes louder when I click to the right for the next song but when I click to the left for the previous song it gets quieter. What causes this and how can I fix it?

Share one calendar on iCloud. Otherwise it will think the calendar is unique to each device.

Song volume changes when I replay it

When I'm listening to a song and I hit the rewind (|<< ) button, the song volume is louder the second time. Why? and can I fix it?
Thanks.

you need to empty your cache. if you use safari - go to "Safari" and then select to Emtpy Cache.
Or hit the shortcut: alt--E

IPhone speaker volume changes when connected to apple tv

If anyone has had this problem as well I would be interested but when I first got my iPhone 4S I realized it was loud. After disconnecting from the apple tv my max volume is lower. When I reconnect to the apple tv (by using it to play music from my phone) the my volume is louder again. Is this a bug or just my phone. Lol. And yes my volume is maxed out in both situations. It's almost like the speakers get boosted when connected to a different audio source.

You would need to connect the speakers to the apple tv if that is where the video is playing.

Volume changing when locking iphone 5

Hi I noticed a couple of times that for some reason after listening to music for a while suddenly the volume starts acting funny. When I lock the Iphone while listening to music the volume increase to the max. and If I unlock the iphone the volume goes to the level I had it before. and this repeats. If locked (using lock button at the top) the volume goes to max again if unlocked the volume goes to the level I had it. I had to restart the music app to stop this. Is this a known bug? Any thoughts?
Regards,

Hey dargan,
Thanks for the question. Dust and debris can definitely lead to this issue. If there is any sort of debris in the headphone or lighting port, the phone might think that there’s an accessory connected. For more information, see this resource:

Acrobat 9.4.2 hangs on name changes when "file as"

Running Windows 7, 64 bit. If I accept the filename, all works well. If i click in the name to modify it, computer hangs. If I wait long enough (I think) it finally works, but takes MINUTES.

Success:
Working now for 7h (OK, for about 2h the PC could be left alone) the problem has been solved:
Two more attempts to start with Acro 9.3 version from the CS5 DVD and then update to 9.4.2 in one step were not successful. Thw shortcut to bypass three minor levels (.0 to .3) turned out to become a lengthy detour!
In addition, FrameMaker had no idea about Acrobat and hence Save As PDF did not work.
Then decided not only to uninstall Acrobat, but also to remove the Acrobat folder (as Bil@VT suggest in the mean time - but I did not look at the e-mails yet now).
Start with the installation of Acro 9.0 from the TCS2 DVD: everything OK, setup of the various preferences and the Adobe Acrobat printer settings. FrameMaker knows about Acrobat now.
Update to 9.2 and check: still all OK.
Update to 9.4.2 and check: the preferences were still OK, but the Adobe Acrobat printer settings had to be re-established.
The only preference which is not persistant is Units & Guides > Page & Ruler Units: cm. This always falls back to inches, because I use the englisch UI. It sticks to mm when using the German UI. Adobe has never heard that metric units are common also in english speaking countries (well CH is not...)
Well, this evening I will have a glass of wine or two.

Sound volume changes when I type

The sound icon comes up when I type o, p, [, 9, 0, 0, - in any program and the sound toggles off and on. This started about a month ago. I've run virus check software and found nothing. Any advice?

I think nobody was in similar situation.
But i found what was the problem. Voice Over was ON! :-)
Simply hit Command+F5 and it's ok now.
