Why is my mic suddenly not working in PPro CS4?
Hi
I have a mac running CS4 Premiere Pro.
I'm using a SM57 mic which I plug into a pre-amp to boost the sound and then from this box I plug into the line-in slot on my mac. I'm recording simple voice-overs over silent footage.
It's all been working beautifully. But now it's not receiving any sound (the green bars don't move) and I can't work out why.
It's not the pre-amp, cables or mic - they all work fine through garageband (but the sound quality isn't nearly as good so I don't want to use that and then export to PPro)
I'm certain I have set it up as I always have done. I'm completely baffled as to what has gone wrong.
Any suggestions much appreciated...
When something works one day, but not the next, then something has changed. The task is to find out what has changed. My first guess would be that an Audio Hardware setting in PrPro has changed, Edit>Preferences>Audio Hardware. The second would be that something has changed in the OS, but as the mic still functions in other programs, but not in PrPro, I moved this down to #2, for possible causes.
Check the Audio Hardware settings in PrPro, and maybe upload screen-caps of the dialog screens, so that others can see the settings, if nothing jumps out at you.
If nothing is wrong in Audio Hardware, I would Delete, Move or Rename the Preferences file for PrPro. I will not even try to talk you though that on a Mac, as I will certainly mess things up, being a PC-guy. PrPro will regenerate a new Preferences file, though you will have to then manually adjust those, as you require, since it will be the install default Preferences. Maybe a Mac-user can give you directions on how to do this. On a PC, one would just hold down the Ctrl+Alt+Shift keys, while doing the full launch of the program, all the way through that launch. Or, they could go into the folder structure, and locate the Preferences file, and either Deleting it, Moving it, or Renaming it.
Good luck,
Hunt

Why would a website suddenly not work in Safari?
I have been on the website for months, but suddenly I cannot access it. I can access via a Proxy so the website and my ID/log in is up and running. I have tried via Firefox and that does not work either. I cleared my cache, restarted but still no joy. I called my ISP, but they tell me it must be a problem with my laptop. Any help please?
Tried using different domain name servers?
Flushing DNS cache?
Turning off proxy?
You would find similiar issues over on Safari, Snow Leopad forum, and post to the MacBook Pro area instead.

PS CS: Why is 'Layer Styles' suddenly not working?
I have a brand new Imac with OSX 10.6.2 and runing PS CS although I cannot recall which version it is it was purchased around 2003.
I got the new imac 2 months ago and was happily using PS when suddenly when I double click on any layer to get to the layer palette most of photoshop becomes inaccessbile with menu selections being grey and the palette not responding. Its almost as though it has opened the layers style window but I cannot see it (although I cannot recall if doing that when it did work meant most things were inaccessible).
I have to force quit and if I don't I get an error message anyway and ps closes down.
I trashed the version of ps I was using and then installed it again but the problem continues. Actually now I remember it before this started happening I was opening PS and I suddenly got a box telling me various extensions were not accessible but it quickly disappeared and I haven't seen that box again.
Also around the point this issue started occuring I downloaded a Microsoft file for operating a pc remotely (for work purposes). I have deleted that file in case that was the issue but the issue remains.
I have googled this problem and came across something similar which suggested the user with the problem reset the preferences to factory as deleting and reinstalling doesn't erase preference settings which may be causing the problem.
Is this a known issue? I have been a photoshop user for 10 years now and never had a problem before that wasn't clearly a result of my mac being old and I was asking too much of it.Restting your preferences is a possible fix, since preferences files
do get corrupted every so often.
I don't think it's really a known issue, but it happens for whatever reason.

Why is my gmail suddenly not working?!
I've seen others online with the same
problem. Basically, out of nowhere,
gmail has stopped working on my iPhone.
It tells me:
"the mail server imap.gmail.com is not
responding. Verify that you have entered
the correct account info in mail settings."
I have not changed any settings.
I did, however download and install
that new app Mailbox, which, although
it is free, makes you wait until enough
other people download it before you
can use it. However, I'm wondering if
it has done something with the settings?
If others know about this, please help!When something works one day, but not the next, then something has changed. The task is to find out what has changed.

Hello:
I have a Mac running OS 10.8.5 and I use Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader. Today for some reason, any time I try and access a pdf file from a web page, it won't open. I get a blank window. PDF files already on my computer open fine and I can create PDF files from Word docs, but I can't download or view any pdf file from any web page. Strangely, PDF files on web pages open just fine on my iPhone.
I checked that both my copy of Acrobat Pro and Acrobat Reader are up-to-date. They are.
I checked that my copy of Firefox is up-to-date. It is. And nothing changed with Firefox within the last 24 hours.
I am a humble computer end-user. I am baffled as to why this would suddenly not work. I have not changed any settings, etc. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Thank you.
I checked your instructions you sent and as far as I can tell all of my settings, etc for Firefox (plugin updates and preferences) are correct but I am having the same problem.
However, everything works in Safari. I don't have time to attempt to diagnose why Firefox no longer works. I will just switch to Safari.
Many thanks.

IChat video suddenly not working
Can anyone help? I'm using iChat 4.0.8 on an almost brand new MacBook Pro. The video worked perfectly fine with my parents, and then suddenly stopped working when we moved. We're still using a wireless connection with an airport extreme. Funny thing is, the video works fine with my husband's MacBook Pro, and my brother who is in California. Why would it suddenly not work with my parents when computers haven't changed?
please help!Did the Modem change ?

AppleTv2: HDCP suddenly not working on netflix after update
I have had a working AppleTV2 for about a year and have been using netflix to stream movies. After most recent update I can no longer stream due to HDCP error. There are been no changes to the hardware (cables, TV, power, etc.) This can only point to the update. I tried to do a restore from Mac to the most recent update. I took it into the genius bar and they tried to do the same thing. No change, they only offer the $69 Service replacement. I have tried changing the outputs, the hdmi cable and powering up in a certain manner. None of these work? Why is this suddenly not working?
Thanks for any help.Interesting (albeit, odd) addition to this issue --
on my work system (dual G5, decked out, 23" Cinema), the same issue started to happen after the QT upgrade... however in my situation, the movie would load, but then just sit there, frozen.
The first time I saw this, I started to move my mouse across the web page, and noticed that every time the pointer would roll over a URL link or any other rollover type of object within the browser window (e.g., a link or even a tab or bookmark shortcut in the Safari toolbar) the movie would suddenly start and stop, but just for a fraction of a second. But yet, if I just leave my mouse sitting on top of the URL or rollover object, it does nothing. It appears to be directly related to the action of roll-on or roll-out from other objects on the page, or within the overall window.
So basically, if I take my mouse and move it ridiculously fast back and forth over any one of these rollover items, the movie will play for a fraction of a second each time the pointer passes over the object and makes it highlight... something to the effect of watching a flip-book animation that stutters along.
Very bizarre -- not sure what happened with the update, but hoping that there is a patch released soon. It would appear that it's conflicting with other objects within the window, or it's waiting for some action on another rollover-type of item that is loaded within the overall window.

Why would a PCI card not work in a similar G4?
Why would an Audio Interface PCI card work in one Mac G4, but not in a newer, similar computer?
My Sonorus STUDI/O audio interface card has been working great in my G4 450 (AGP), through various MacOS versions, now in OS 9.2.2, using LOGIC Pro 6 recording software.
Putting the card in a Power Mac G4 Dual 1.25 Ghz (MDD Mirror Drive Door), the card is recognized by Apple System Profiler, but Logic abruptly quits without explanation as soon as it starts up and tries to acknowledge and integrate the card.
Throwing away Logic’s Preferences will let me successfully start up Logic, and choosing the basic MacAV as the audio engine will work just fine (so it’s not the application itself that’s broken). But if I specify the STUDI/O, as soon as I relaunch Logic to activate that choice, the program just quits without explanation again.
Same system (OS 9.2.2) as in the G4 450 (except that the Mirror Drive’s OS 9 was a slightly newer, machine-specific build).
No special drivers needed, as Logic supports the card directly.
I tried all available PCI slots, with no difference.
So why would a PCI card suddenly not work at all in a newer, but comparable Mac? Any ideas?
Thanks,
Peter
Additional bit: The STUDI/O card is not supported in OS X, and Sonorus has closed its doors. So there's no help forthcoming from that direction. But in OS 9, everything should be good to go. Could a somewhat newer, faster computer like the Dual 1.25 really have that much of a detrimental impact on a PCI card?Tried using different domain name servers?

I have recently upgraded my iMac Intel G5 iSight (iMac5,1) to OS 10.6.8 and now the internal mic does not work with skype or facebook. I can here static when playing back clips. Do I need to update firmware or reload old system parts. I have zapped PRAM. The blue indicator in system audio panel will appear for a second as I slide the bar for internal mic but then it disappears. Is there a fix?
The sound seems very faint but can here static on playback.

I have thee Mac computers with Mac OS 10.6.8, one of which is a Mac Pro. No matter how many updates I install from Adobe, their Flash Player does not work on any of these 3 computers. I don't know how to contact Adobe Systems about this problem, but I think it is their responsibility to make sure that their so-called "universal" software works proplerly on a relatively recent operating system like OS 10.6.8 that is still in widespread use. When you install the updates, nothing happens -- not even an error message. What is the point of a universal player that is not universal? It works fine on my MacBook Pro with OS 9 Mavericks, but it does not work at all -- indeed, has never worked -- on my 3 Macs with OS 10.6.8. Has anyone contacted Adobe Systems to find out why the Flash Player does not work with OS 10.6.8 and what they plan to do about it?
Where are you getting Flash from?
Get the appropriate dmg installer here and then run it.
http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/distribution3.html
If it still won't install, do these two things: First uninstall any Flash by going into the second level Hard Drive Library>Internet Plug-ins, and trash the Flash Player.plugin and flashplayer.xpt. Then boot into Safe Boot, Shift at the startup chime (give it much longer than a usual boot) and run the installer while booted in Safe Boot. -
My IPad cannot download live Tv from skygo. I have no problem with my lap top so I assume the broad band is okay. Can anybody suggest why the live streaming will not work on my iPad .
Are you using the Sky Go app to try and watch it ? If so are you logged in with your Sky account ?
If you are using the app then you could try closing the app completely and see if it works when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Sky Go 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Sky Go app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
