White noise in project playback after upgrade to 10.8.3

I recently upgraded to 10.8.3 after running 10.6.8. Made sure the drivers for my peripherals were compatable. Also the third party plug ins all have the latest ML compatable versions. Logic seems to work fine when working on projects with no audio files but I get random bursts of white noise if I play back projects with audio files. Restarting mac does not help.
Running Logic 9.1.8 in 32 bit mode on a 2009 iMac (2.8) with 4 gigs of ram. Apogee Firewire duet with latest drivers. Edirol PCR 800 with latest drivers.
Any suggestions?

Not sure why you think having to re-authorize would indicate an incompatibility or problem with their software unless you meant you have to keep re-authorizing the plugin?
Some plugins need re-authorization when you change a certain file or files in your system.. or if the file structure itself changes.. or the drive is renamed for example.. It could simply be that IK used a different form of authorization routine to their other plugins or versions of their plugins, with Amplitude 2.... Nothing to do with an incompatibility...or problems.
Anyhow I am happy you got the matter resolved and yes, random bursts of white noise is a classic sign of a plugin running in demo mode and needing authorization or re-authorisation as I suspected in your case.

Choppy playback after upgrading to iTunes 11

I am still on OSX 10.6.8 so I can still use Front Row on my laptop. I just recently upgraded to iTunes 11 and now playback of video will become choppy and sometimes stalls and the sound will also become choppy and unsynchronized with the video. This occurs when playing video on iTunes or Front Row. Has anyone else experienced this and if so, have you come up with a solution?? Thanks in advance.

I was also having this issue on my iMac running OSX 10.6.8 after upgrading to iTunes 11. Clearing my user Library Cache seems to have solved the issue.
In case you're not sure how to do that, open a finder window, hit Cmd-Shift-G to go to a folder, then enter "~/Library/Caches". Select all the contents of the Caches folder, and hit Cmd-Delete. You will be prompted to enter your password in order to delete these files. Restart your machine and empty the bin when you log back in.

Choppy playback after upgrading hardware

I've recently upgraded from a phenom 965 and 7gb 1333 gb ram, to an i5-2500k with 16gb 1600mhz. Otherwise everything is the same, i just reinstalled windows and premiere pro after the upgrade. After the upgrade this error, or annoyance, occured. Here's all the specifics:
-Premiere pro CS5.5.2 v/latest updates
-Windows 7 pro (fresh install v/important updates)
-h.264 in mp4-container
-no error messages
-very choppy playback after "jogging". When theres a lot of movement, the picture becomes very "stuttery" and "pixelated" in that area.
-no extra codecs or similar is installed.
- hardware:
-nvidia gtx 560 v/latest drivers
-i5 2500k @ 4,6Ghz
-16Gb 1600mhz xmp ram
-7200rpm 500gb source hdd
-5200rpm 120gb scratch disk
-Agility 120gb ssd OS and programs
I have tried using 1/4 playback, using ssd as scratch disk, installing and uninstalling extra codecs but none of it made any difference. The cpu or ram never exceeds 50% capacity when the problems occur.

But wouldnt the cpu reach 100% capacity before it starts being the bottleneck?
Only if all the other components supply data fast enough that the CPU can run flat out. If the CPU has to wait for other components to catch up, CPU load will be less than 100%.
If you race alone on a track and there are no other contestants (components) in the race, you can go flat out at 100% of the speed, but if the track is filled with many other contestants (components) from a local old-age house, your speed will drop significantly.

Slow video playback after upgrading to ati 9200 card

Just upgraded my graphics card to the PCI ATI 9200 but now I have slower video playback than I had with the OEM Geforce AGP card. Does anyone know why this has happened? I thought I was gonna get better playback by upgrading

Well, you have me scratching my head, that's a real puzzle.
Try an Open Firmware re-set, do the 're-set all' procedure:

Problem with RT playback after Upgrade

After being astonished at the speed of delivery of the upgrade to 3.5 - 18 hours from online order to delivery in another country, I have an immediate problem after installation from FCE HD 3.0
I started by opening an existing Project only to find there is no playback image in the canvas - just the "unrendered" caption.
I then opened a new Project and imported a clip from a Capture folder and on putting it into the timeline there was again no playback as before.
I have checked the RT button and it displays all the new features, but they are all greyed out except for "Play base layer only". There is a continuous red render bar in the timeline. When I tried a composited sequence it did just playback V1.
I have just checked the Effects menu and I cant see any that are in bold to signify they are playable in real-time.
I have had a cursory look at the FCE System Settings and User Preferences but I cant see anything that has changed.
It is late at night and I may be very stupid. Can anyone help? Thanks.
Freesh

Thanks for the advice Tom.
I left everything untouched overnight and received your Reply this morning. I checked other sources for Trashing the Preferences to make sure I would follow the best procedures.
When I went back to the open programme I saw that the Render bars were now Green!
It seems it has rectified the problem without my interference or Trashing the Prefs. Who knows - one of those weird scenarios. I closed FCE and re-opened with no problems, so now am much happier.
I must say that the enclosed Instruction Leaflets with the Installations discs and the DVD Tutorial are a vast improvement on previous versions. I think the Tutorials will be a real visual help for users who are coming to FCE for the first time. They are not very detailed but allow a good overview of the potential within the software.
Thanks again for the quick reply.

Choppy iPhone video playback after upgrading to 10.5 + QuickTime 7.6.9

Hi,
I recently upgraded from 10.4 to 10.5 on my Powerbook G4. I used the "Archive and Install" option. After updating all software to the latest (10.5.8 OSX + 7.6.9 QuickTime), I noticed that the playback of the videos shot with my iPhone 3GS becomes extremely choppy (jumps combined with slow-mo). Based on the what's in "Previous System", I was using QT 7.6.4 with OS 10.4, which didn't have this playback issue.
I found several posts related to similar issues in the forum, and tried the following suggestions without success:
(1) removing all third party plug-ins from /Library/QuickTime;
(2) repair permissions with Disk Utility;
(3) installing Perian;
None of the above made a difference. Just for the heck of it, I tried "su" in Terminal and moved "QuickTimeH264.component" to "QuickTimeH264.component.bkp". Surprisingly this made the playback a lot better (all the iPhone clips are H264+ACC). So I'm guessing somehow the QT H264 component is not working properly for me, but what is QT using instead to play those videos after I renamed the component? It shouldn't be any of the third-party plug-ins since I tried removing all the third-party stuff at the same time, and the videos still played fine. I'd like to get to the bottom of this as I'm a little uneasy about re-naming the H264 component.
I hope someone more QT savvy can diagnose the problem based on what I've tried and make new suggestions. Granted my machine is a bit long in the tooth but it's still decently powered (1.67 GHz, 1.5 GB RAM, 320GB HDD) and the videos played fine before the "upgrade".
Is it worth doing a clean re-install of 10.5 as opposed to the "archive and install"? It's a pain obviously to have to re-install all the apps but I'm willing to try it if it could reasonably make a difference.
Thanks in advance!

The problem is that you moved your Mail application to a sub-folder in your Applications folder, and you are running an older copy of Mail.
From your crash report it shows your path is to a different folder then the default folder:
Path: /Applications/Mail Apps/Mail.app/Contents/MacOS/Mail
It also shows that you are not running the correct version of Mail (should be version 3.5 (930.3):
Version: 3.5 (929.4)
Check out this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2486
The short of it is that you may have two copies of Mail on your system. When 10.5.6 installed, it may not have updated Mail correctly. Look to see if you have another copy of Mail in your Applications folder, and if so run it and check it's version from the 'About Mail' menu option, it should be 3.5 (930.0). My recommendation is to remove any copy of mail that is not in /Applications (if there is no version of Mail in Applications, move the one you have in Mail Apps back) and run the Mail Update referenced in the article above.

Timeline frequently stutters during playback after upgrade to Premiere Pro CC 2014?

I recently upgrade to Premiere Pro CC 2014 and I have noticed that my timeline playback frequently stutters on playback if I jump around in the timeline. Other times if I just hit play the sequence will start playing back fine but then it will start stuttering after a few shots? This never happened before. I'am playing back C100 AVCHD media using create sequence from clip option for my timeline settings. I recently upgraded to Yosemite OS on my mac pro and I have not noticed any improvement. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Harry
My specs: Mac Pro 2009
Processor 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory 32 GB 1066 MHz DDR3 ECC
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 2048 MB
Startup disk SSD

Thanks for the info Kevin. However on doing more probing into my problem I
realized the problem was being cause by my Kona LHi card. The Kona card has
started to whining sound, so I disconnected the card. When I went back in
Premiere Pro everything in the time line played back really fast with no
stuttering. The response time in the timeline is very fast. And I can jump
around the timeline with no problem. I will be getting my Kona Card looked
at by AJA, I'm sure there is a problem with card.
Thanks

Poor playback after upgrading to FCP7

Recently I upgraded from FCP6 to FCP7. With version 6, my playback was excellent. After the upgrade, NOTHING plays smoothly at all... not even a lone, simple aif. file on the timeline. In fact, even that stutters, plays slow and drops frames.

Hi Michael...
It's a Mac Pro running Mountain Lion, 10.8.2.
Processor: 2 x 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Memory: 6 GB
NIVDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512MB
Video was caputured as ProRes 422, but with the upgrade now to ProRes LT.
Sequence settings:
Frame Size: 1920x1080 / HDTV 1080i (16:9)
Square
QT Video Settings: Compressor - Apple ProRes 422 (LT) @ 100% quality
Audio settings: 48kHz, 16-bit, channel grouped
Video processing @ always render in RGB
Why I can't even playback a simple audio file is frustrating! Playback in the viewer is also very, very poor.

Can't open project files after upgrading to FCE 3.5.1

I bought a new MacBook Pro and sold my PowerMac, so I bought the 3.5 upgrade to FCE. I was using 3.0 before on my PowerMac.
I copied my project over, but when I try to open it it just gives me a dialog box with "General error" and an OK button.
How do I get my project open???

Make sure you have the latest version of Quicktime
Quicktime is up to date.
I solved the problem with the help of Tom Wolsky. What finally worked was taking the project file to my wife's C2D iMac, opening the file there, saving it as a 3.5.1 file, and copying it back to my MacBook Pro.
The weirdest things to me are:
1) That there was any problem at all to begin with on my MacBook Pro C2D
2) That there was no problem on my wifes iMac C2D
3) When Tom Wolsky opened and saved the file in 3.5.1 format for me it didn't work, but that worked when I did the same thing with my wife's machine.

Can't find project files after upgrade to version 3.0

I upgraded Aperture from 2.0 to 3.x and I can no longer find my project files in the Aperture folder?
All is working fine, I just want to copy the project files and they are not visible in finder.
any ideas

I misunderstood your question. As you were referring to the Aperture folder and locating things in the finder I thought you were trying to find the image files external to Aperture.
As for info on the structure of the library, from within Aperture take a look at the user manual: http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/ this is the online version its the same as what you get when you go to Help in Aperture. Pay particular attention to the first section which describes the various parts of the library and how it all goes together.
As for rating answers, if the thread is yours and you are logged in then eash seperate post should show this
at the bottom. Select the rating you want to give to the post. Remember only one post can be correct up to two can be helpful.
regards
Not sure what you mean by maintain files in a "creation date" format? If you describe what you are looking for then I'm sure someone will chime in.

All iMovie '11 projects missing after upgrade to OS X 10.6.6

I just upgraded to OS X 10.6.6, but all of my projects and previously imported movies are gone. iMovie does not appear to be acting properly and it will not import any video. I used it last week before 10.6.6 to make a video and it was working fine.
It snowed this morning and I was going to edit and send out video of my son playing in his first snow of the season.

Solution!
Go to Users > your account > Library > Preferences
Find this file:
com.apple.iMovieApp.plist
Move it out of the Preferences folder.
Launch iMovie. It should rebuild the Events Library, iPhoto thumbnails, etcs. And your Projects will return.
It worked for me.
Hope it helps!

Startx gives white screen with mouse cursor after upgrade

Hello, I have been a long time lurker and I have finally come across a problem I havent been able to find anywhere else. I just updated the catalyst-hook package and now on startx I get a white screen with a working mouse cursor and apparently my keyboard works as well. It seems as if it is running normally other than the fact there is a white screen instead of my background. I'm not getting any unusually errors in my logs and I've regenerated my xorg.conf. I cannot seem to find any solution to this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Its not so much a white background as a completely white desktop ( no icons no lxpanel etc) just a white screen with a mouse cursor that is usable and the keyboard works as well. I was even able to open a terminal with a keyboard shortcut and reboot the comp. Other than my desktop not being rendered right, LXDE seems to be functioning normally
