Why does my track volume on selected track suddenly spike?

Why does my track volume, on the SELECTED TRACK, suddenly spike to max as if I had volume automation set. It never did this before a few weeks ago. Very frustrating. It happens during playback and loop recording. It started around the same time I started using a new audio interface (steinberg UR22) but I don't think that is causing the issue because I wen't back and used my MBOX to be sure, and it did the same thing. I have never had any use for automation or a master volume track either. It doesn't matter if I have a guitar, bass or mic going direct or through a preamp. It seems to be internal to GB settings. The only change I've made to my macbook recently was I increased my RAM from 2 to 4gb.
It's like Garageband has a mind of it's own and it feels as though there isn't enough signal reach the track to it boosts it itself. What am I missing?
Please help I can't get anything done because it spike in the middle of a take and I have to start over.
I'm using GB 11 version 6.0.5

Why does say"To play the selected item, you must install a later version of the Adobe Flash Player. To download the Adobe Flash Player, go to the Adobe website." when I have the latest Version of it and it's just Black screen with no audio and Video?

Why does the ringer volume display frequently on 3gs

Why does the ringer volume keep displaying on my 3gs? Seems it may do this when the phone is picked up or shaken.

This just happened to me today. The ringer volume display just remains on screen. Tried hard rese, nothing. It happened right after I dropped my 3GS - of which I've done many times but had not affected it because of the silicone case taking the brunt of the shock. Hope someone has a solution to this.

Why does the view window all of a sudden expand the content of the page I am viewing so that I have to go to "view" and click actual size??

Why does the view window all of a sudden expand the content of the page I am viewing so that I have to go to "view" and click actual size??
Then a few minutes later, it goes back to expanded again, it is driving me crazy. how can I stop this????
Thanks for any help.

There could be a number of reasons, first thing to check is if you are clicking Command + or Command -. The Command 0 keystrokes restore Safari to the actual size. You can also reset Safari by Safari - Reset.

Why Does Video Track Order Matter

I can't find this question in the plethora of manual pages, and so...
If I place a video clip with a transition beneath another video track, the video/transition does not appear. It seems to have to always be placed above the track that I want to make a transition with... why?

If you are still having trouble understanding the "why":
Just look at it as stacking. If you place 3 different color pieces of paper evenly on top of each, which piece do you see? The one on top of course. If you drew letters on the papers and then staggered them, leaving portions of the lower papers visible, you would see all of the letters on the top piece, but only some of the letters on the lower piece since they would be obscured by the upper piece.
This is how the video tracks work, basically. You are stacking clips on top of each other. The uppermost track will cover anything below it.
Page 387, chapter 19, in the manual talks about compositing and layering tracks.

Why does a track not pan when you send it to Itunes?

I'm trying to pan two differnt tracks directly to the left and directly to the right.
but when I send it to I tunes both tracks end up evenly to the center. how do I fix this?

That shouldn't happen. Do you have the "sound enhancement" checked in iTunes? That does strange things to files sometimes.

Why does my track window keep opening up when I don't press anything on the keyboard, followed by logic crashing?

After five minutes of opening up logic the computer will start opening up the new track window followed by a new time signature window, this is an infinite loop that normally ends up with logic crashing. The problem started after plugging in my Yamaha psr-280 into the keyboard I've unplugged it but this seems to make no difference. Help??

Grrr, why does package tracking stop at Anchorage?

Grumble....
iPad is expected to arrive Friday 14...Tracking seems to have stopped when the
package reached Anchorage AK....
Seems like the same thing happened several years ago when I ordered a MBP.
Of course it might be the case that the package is being sent by burro from Alaska,...
Grrr,,,,
Jerry

Yours and mine are sitting in Anchorage together.
Mr. Prather, according to my online shipping status, your order was canceled due to flooding. It's sitting in 4 feet of water at the Nashville terminal.

Why does I pad volume show sound effects not volume

My I pad used to show volume control now it shows sound effects. Also keyboard clicks not working

All these effects are part of the loops in the iLife Sound effects loop package, that was a part of the application bundle iLIfe '11 (iPhoto. iMovie, GarageBand '11). These loops are neither installed by GarageBand 10.0 or GarageBand '11, nor MacOs X, you need an iLife '11 installer disk to get these loops.
And GarageBand 10 also does not have the Sound Effects instruments any longer, that let you drag samples onto keys. It is one of the sorely missed features, that have been discontinued in the new version GarageBand 10. even if you install the previous version, GarageBAnd '11, to add the Sound effects instrument to GarageBand 10. it will not work properly, because GarageBand 10 will not save the custom instrument with the samples. You will have to complete your song in one session, without quitting GarageBand.
You may want to send feedback to the Apple Developers about these missing features with a feature request: Apple - GarageBand Mac- Feedback

Why does the iphone volume randomly gets turned off/down.

Around 4-5 times a day I have noticed that the volume on my iPhone has been turned all the way down. Anyone have any suggestions what is doing it?

well i just did two test videos.
just like a while ago when I first encountered this issue.
take a video with the volume buttons up = upside down when played in VLC
take a video with the volume buttons down = normal.
such a shame when they released the feature to use the volume button as a shutter button.
this wouldn't be such a big deal if I could upload 1080p to YouTube from my phone. But NOOOO, but I have to first upload it to my computer, then upload it to YouTube, and thats where the problem comes to play.
so whatever. ill just have to remember to take videos with the volume buttons down.

Why does other applications' volume go down while facetime is on?

I use facetime regularly and sometimes watch videos like youtube at the same time. But ever since I upgraded to OS X Mavericks, Facetime seems to lower the volume of my other applications such that it is almost impossible to watch youtube without asking the other side of facetime to mute themselves. Is there a way to control factime's volume, or a way to control the balance? Thanks

Good catch... However there is an answer to this too. This kind of behaviour with sound, didn't start as you might expect, in Mavericks... It has been available in iOS from the beginning, imagine getting a cellular call in your car while the Music is playing... everything connected through your car stereo. As you might expect iOS dimms the Music so you can take the call automagically. You need this kind of asumption since your hands are busy and half your brain is driving a car.
I suspect that Mavericks, under the hood, has started to share a lot with iOS, it might not look like that from the outside but all that "memory compression" and "timer coalescing" and all the other low level stuff was never put there just like that, it was tested under iOS for years and then gradually put into Mavericks.
It happens the other way around too, iPhone 5S is the first 64-bit phone yes? Mountain Lion is 64 bit... it's exactly as Steve Jobs said... what we learn on a product we use again in the new ones and so on.
Developing software is a lot more then test cases, if you look at the current picture of how people are coding you would think managing a group a developers is no different that managing a group a people building a house. You get a guy, the architect, to design the house (the entire system) for you and then start the worker's parts each when they are needed. Job done. But that is very far from the truth, if you just want "a house" then it's good enough for you... but if you want "one of the best houses that can be designed for people" then you are looking at an entirely different process.
I won't go into the details as to why this is true, but one of the conditions of this kind of process is that some people will have "to suffer" change. Their minds want the "old behavior", they need it, they can't see why you would want it differently, these people just like things the way they are... There is nothing wrong with this, but it just means that Apple in the course of "finding things out" might upset some of us by apparently "not listening"...
This ladies and gentlement is the essence of change, not listening to some people because they just like things the way they are. They even demand the option to stay that way! This, I repeat, is not a bad thing... but in an effort to move forward some things must change, so you are bound to upset people.
Read this after half a bottle of red wine, alone at home on a friday night... you need to step back a little to put the good of the whole before what's best for you.

Why does nothing appear when I select 'extensions' in the Add-on Manager?

Somehow, an extension/app called Coupon Saver (that I never wanted and which is truly annoying) has been installed. I uninstalled it on my laptop, but it needs to also be removed from FireFox. However, whenever I go to the 'Extensions' panel in the Add-on Manager, nothing comes up at all. It shows all the tabs on the right with 'Extensions' highlighted but beside it is nothing but a light blue screen. Why is this, and how do I fix it so I can removed the offending addition form my browser? Thank you for your time.

Why does my cursor not automatically select the entire word when I try to select text by starting/ending in the middle of a word?

In any other browser I've used (or word processor, for that matter) when I select text using my mouse cursor, if I start and/or end in the middle of a word, it automatically selects the whole word when I'm selecting more than one word. But for some reason this is not happening in Firefox. If I try to select say 3 words, and I start in the middle of the first word and end in the middle of the last word, it will only select those parts, not all 3 words entirely.

Firefox allows to select part of a word. You can select a word with a double click and use Shift + left click to set the end of the selection, so you need to click at the end of the last word instead of in it.

Why does double-click no longer select a whole word?

I am on the beta update channel and currently using FF 8.0, latest update as of the moment of this posting.
I am not sure when it happened - I think since I started using 8.0 - but double-click no longer selects a whole word. It's the same effect as a single click - simply positions the insertion point where the mouse cursor is located.
This is very aggravating. I thought it may be a bug in the new version (I already posted it to Bugzilla, but hasn't been confirmed yet), Unfortunately, I don't have the old version to cross-check (can I install both versions on one machine?)
Or is it some configuration issue? Or conflict with something else? I've searched and not (yet) found any other complaints about this issue from other users.
Note that I do not have the problem in any other app nor in other browsers that I have installed (e.g., IE, Chrome, Opera, Safari). In all of those, double-click on a word selects the whole word.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions or guidance.
Best,
Yosh

OK - I found the culprit. It seems that the Answers.com '''1-Click Answers''' utility had changed its behavior. In its Options on the Activation tab is an option to activate it when using double-click in a browser. I don't remember turning it on, but it ''was'' on. When I turned that option off, the problem went away. Apparently it is not compatible with FF8, since double-click was apparently intercepted, but 1-Click Answers was not activated - the double-click simply became a no-op.
Now that I've turned off that option, double-click in FF8 is back to the way it's supposed to work for quickly selecting a whole word or sentence.
If anyone else encounters this problem, I hope this information will help to resolve it.
