Can't access Time and Pitch Machine

I have highlighted the audio region in the sample editor that I want to transpose and speed up but Time and Pitch Machine in the Factory folder remains greyed-out. I have tried every possible combination between the arrange window and sample editor. HELP, PLEASE!!

I converted the region and time and pitch machine still remained greyed-out using the new region. Any ideas?
Have a look at the permissions of the the Audio path folder where you converted the region or just copy the converted audio file on the desktop and import from there to check if it is a permission issue. If it is the issue you have not convert the original region at all - just set the permissions...

Time and Pitch Machine questions

Hello,
I am a recent (and so far very happy) convert to mac and it's audio environment. I knew there would be some "re/un-learning" to do and I have come across this:
1. I need to slow down a section of an audio track (saxophone) to match a piano accompaniment. The student played a bit too fast in one spot. Instead of re-recording, I assumed I could, in post, fix the problem. I read and followed the manual's instructions (95% sure on this) on selecting the section, opening T&P machine, choosing parameters, etc., and then:
When I pre-listen to the section, there is NO change/alteration in the speed. Even if I go extreme (just to see if it is working) I get nothing. Does anyone have any insight? I don't want to write this to disc until I know it is correct.
2. One more thing: I come from a PC world of Sony Vegas and Sonar, where you can use an "envelope" line to "draw" in various changes (like playback speed) over an audio file. Reaper also does this. I really like this feature, but I have not (yet) found it in Logic 8. Is it there?
Thanks,
Scott

A simple method I use is to make a backup/duplicate of the section that needs to be changed. Save it as a new audio file and import it to the Audio Bin.
Using the duplicate, carry out your tempo/pitch change and click Done ( or whatever the button says ). That way, if you don't like the result, you won't have damaged your original file. In fact, all destructive edits should be done on a copy of the original audio file.

I have an iMac OS 10.9.5 - Every time I turn on my system I get the message that it can not access icloud and to fix it using iCloud preferences. I do not want to access or use iCloud, how do I get the message to discontinue?

Hello mrmacjohn,
Verifying that any iCloud account that may be signed in is signed out should resolve this error.
On your Mac, open iCloud preferences, then click Sign Out.

I had to change my Hard Drive, now I want to work on files in iWeb, but can't access Time Machine before yesterday. The dates are there on the right hand side but are greyed out before yesterday when I changed my HD. How do I access anything from before.

Can't access Time Machine settings when AirPort (WiFi) is on.

Problem:
My iMac (2.66 MHz Inter Core Duo) with 10.5.8 needs an upgrade to Maverick...it is connected to my home network with AirPort
I have a NAS on my home network (Verbatim MediaShare 2TB) wired connected, which I have had working as a drive for TM-backups. It stopped working with TM about 1,5 year ago, did never figure out why, backups just failed.
Now I want to get it going again for a fresh backup prior to the OS upgrade.
The issue I am facing now is that I cant access the settings for the backup drive in TM settings as the AirPort is on.
I need AirPort on to be able to mount the drive of the NAS, but then I cant access TM-settings. If I switch of AirPort temporarly to access TM-settings the drive which I need to select is dismounted.
I am kind of stuck. Why is this happening?

the NAS Volume for backup "COMPUTERSBACKUP$" can be mounetd as it should when AirPort is on.
Hi, label explains the problem pretty much...
That is: The dialog in TM where the disk for TM to put backuped data is not accessable when the iMac has connection to my home network. The button is there, but when i press it notheing happends. If i deactivate the network interface, the dialog opens.
I hope this claryfy my problem.

Time and Pitch appears completely unusable at 96k (I/O Error-36)-any ideas?

Hi there,
Any help for the following gratefully received. Sorry about the excessive length of this post, but I've tried a whole bunch of things trying to sort out my problem and I'd rather list them all in the interests of clarity. (or should that be catharsis?)
My simple question is: Is there anyone out there who is successfully using Time and Pitch compression / expansion at 96k? I simply can't get it to work with any degree of reliability on 2 new machines I've tried it on, and I've even managed to crash the demo machine in my nearest Apple Store trying it out.
Some background: I recently ditched my TDM PT HD system in favour of a core audio Apogee Symphony based one. I use time compression / expansion of audio files extensively in my projects, and previously used the DAE version of Serato Pitch'n Time to do this. I've never rated the Logic Time and Pitch engine, so knowing that Serato and Izotope have developed Logic friendly algorithms was a big deal for me in finally making the hardware switch to a Mac Pro Twin 3.2Ghz Quad a few weeks ago.
I've had quite a few problems / errors running Logic since then, resulting in me swapping the Twin 3.2Ghz Quad for a Twin 2.8Ghz Quad a couple of days ago. I reckon most of those errors are outside the scope of this question, but I'm happy to reel them out if people perversely want this post to be even longer. All those errors now seem to be sorted with the exception of the following:
I've been trying to carry out a series of time compressions and expansions on a stereo 96k audio file to get it to play in time with my track, but the time stretching doesn't take place - I've been getting the 'I/O error Result Code= -36' message when I click the Process button. Not every time, but almost every time. It's more prone to do it with negative tempo change values for some reason, and if it does work, then an undo will almost certainly mess the audio up by not returning to the original state. It fails with both Logic's own algorithms and the dedicated Serato Pitch'n Time LE version. All other sample edit functions (say excite, denoise etc) appear to work correctly.
Knowledge base here seems to imply that I'm getting a disk read / write error. I've tried resampling the audio. I've duplicated it and tried the copy. I've moved it to a different internal drive, having taken the first drive off line. I've moved it back again. I have four internal drives and I've tried audio running off each of them alone and in combination. I've given the file a new name with no gaps or punctuation. I've tried time stretching a completely different audio file chosen at random, usually to no avail but sometimes it works a few times, then fails. Mono files seem to be slightly more reliable, but not much. I've fixed disk permissions and all folder permissions more times than I care to mention. I've reinitialised the boot drive and reinstalled Logic. I've even installed OSX on a different drive, and installed Logic on that one, but that didn't work. I've tried it with my extra 8GB of (reliably sourced) third party RAM removed. I was getting this time-stretching error on the 3.2GHz machine as well, so you could even say I've tried it on two different machines (though it should be pointed out they had the same RAM and Hard Drives).
At the Apple Store earlier today I tried to get a display machine (a 2 core MacPro) with a version of Logic on it (that I'd had nothing to do with) to replicate this error on the demo Logic song. When everything was 44.1 time stretching worked absolutely fine, many times, but once I converted one audio file from its default 44.1 kHz to 96 kHz and tried the time compression, up came the I/O error message. Now I can't believe it's a good idea to have different sample rates in the same song, so I converted all the audio files in the demo song to 96k in a different audio folder, changed the sample rate of the song so it would play back as you'd expect, saved and restarted, and then tried time stretching one of the files - it wouldn't do it, resulting in the I/O error again. Interestingly, after that even the 44.1 version of the song started showing the same error, even after another restart.
It seems like I should work at 44.1 if I want to time stretch, but I like to work at 96k and I should be able to.
This sounds like a proper bug to me and has been crippling my productivity, but I can't believe no one else has tried repetitively time stretching sections of an audio file at 96k - either have you been able to get it to work, or has anyone got any more suggestions I may not have tried out?
Thanks in advance. (Or have you all gone to sleep by now? Self-editing was never my strong suit...!)

Nevermind. I was low on disk space. Duh (though the error could have been a bit more descriptive).
Move along. Nothing to see here, folks.

Can I access time capsule file without using imac

can I access time capsule file without using imac

From a time machine backup? No. If you mean just a regular file stored on there? Not directly. There are a couple of apps out there where you can indirectly get to a file but it's a pain. If you have need of accessing a file both from the mac and the iPad then I suggest DropBox. You get 2GB free and it's a good way to share information between machines and devices.

After upgrading to Lion I can't access time capsule pre lion.

Last week I backedup to time capsule via cable.
I then upgraded to Lion.
After upgrading I backedup to TC again.
Now my MBP 17 can't access time capsule pre lion. So I can't see any of my last 2 years of Snow Leopard data.

yikes, I had to move all my years of iPhoto folders/pix from very old iMac to a new HP laptop with PC Vista Home Premium....now finally ready and hoping to do years worth of photo albums! so I go in to these files and of course they don't open...because they're on pc.
- I am techno ignorant on all this, what can I do? Is there any way I can open these on PC or do I need to go back and reinstall on a very very very old AND slow slow slow mac? these photos were created in 199, 200, 2001 up through 2007 so through many versions of iPhoto and Mac OS. I am hoping I can retrieve them - and very worried I cannot! Would love advice and help.
- and on a separate note, any good, inexpensive iPhoto and iTunew wizard/tech support professionals out there in the Menlo Park, CA area?

Getting quite frustrated with my iPhone 4S. Can't access WIFI and/or Bluetooth nor will my computer allow it to be a "hotspot" unless physically tethered to computer. It started acting up after download....it also has messed up some app

I've only had this phone since Sept. and have already had to have the speaker replaced. NOW I can't access wifi and/or bluetooth (both are grey). I can't use the Personal Hotspot either (and the passcode no longer shows up). I can only access internet via the phone through the USB. This started over the past few days (and after I updated to IOS).
Some of my apps no longer work either...over 100+ hours of audiobooks on Audible can't be accessed as the Audible app just shuts off.
Any recommendations on how to recify? I'm pretty rural so downloaded anything takes going to the next town over to get a signal from the library... and all of my searching is eating into my 5gb limit through ATT....so it is a bit irritating

called Apple Care this a.m....new upgrade on 12/31/12 is supposed to fix the "bug"

How can I access photos and videos saved to the iCloud?

How can I access photos and videos saved to the iCloud? I backed up my iphone to the Cloud but now the files are nowhere to be found.
I had to reset all content and settings in order to troubleshoot an issue. Before I did this, I backed up the iphone to icloud. When I reprogrammed the phone, I had to set it up as a new device and individually sync apps and other items from itunes. But by doing this, I somehow lost some videos and can't seem to find where they would have been saved/backed up. Can anyone offer any guidance?

You can't view photos and videos on icloud (except for shared photo stream pics). iCloud merely sync photos between devices using the stream. If you don't have photo stream turned on, then the only place photos in the camera roll are located are in a backup. You would have to restore from the backup. But be warned that many users have ended up losing their photos when performing a restore, for whatever reason.
What you should do in the future is always sync photos/videos to a computer for storage, don't leave them on a device or trust icloud to somehow store them.

Yes. See this thread about how to access the disk attached to a Time Capsule. Access to the Time Capsule itself can be done similarly.

You have to pay for online storage, someone has to pay to keep the lights on. As far a getting it on the Finder sidebar, you did something wrong. That is where mine resides, see below.

Can't access Time Machine files since upgrading to Mavericks

I have searched the community and found that people have experienced issues backing up to Time Machine since upgrading to Mavericks, but my problem appears slightly different from the ones I've found. I can see that my Time Machine is actually backing up since the upgrade as it was before the upgrade. The issue I'm having is that I can't access the backed-up files in any way.
When I try to open time machine it launches the "space view" with all of the historical tabs lined up for me to scroll through, but imediately closes that window and gives the error message: "Can't connect to a current Time Machine backup disc". It's so weird, because it says that there have been backups completed since the upgrade (most recently this morning). If it wasn't writing to the disc, it would have showed me an error of some sort.
What I am, specifically, trying to accomplish is that I need to restore some iTunes playlists that I somehow managed to delete this past weekend. I figured that I would easily be able to access the library file that contains the playlists from Saturday morning, when I KNOW that playlist was still there, and just restore it. Now that I am seeing that I can't access any of my time machine files, I'm realizing that I have an even bigger problem, and that all of my files are, essentially, going without backup at this time (assuming I can't access the files that have already been backing up).
If anyone has some insight as to how I can fix this problem, I would greatly appreciate it.

Hi John, (The above was for your attention) I'm 72 and must've hit the wrong button!!!
I followed your instructions to the letter, but sadly, no success...all my backups are showing on the TM external HD, but I cannot access them after instsalling 'Mavericks'
I spent the entire day on and off the phone with Applecare (they are very nice, and I'm sure they know most of the stuff needed; but not this problem. They are phoning back tomorrow as the senior chap was not available.
I love my apple products, and like you, have been using their gear for well over 25 years...not studying the things, but using them all the way through.
My present Mac, a 24" iMac is nearly 7 years old, bought on December 11th 2007, and this is the first time I have had a significant problem, and never a virus..got bless em!. I bet there are not many Windows users around who can say the same!
However, if I cannot access my backups, I'm a bit lost, as all my accumulated stuff is there!
I guess the worst case scenario is that I revert to OS X 10.7.5, and wait 'til the bugs are ironed out in Mavericks....Ho Hum

Can I share the files on the time capsule for all of the macs on my network and can I access time capsule from my laptop while out of town?

I have a iMac desktop and a macbook pro. If I purchase a time capsule, can I use it as the central location for my files for both computers? Can I access the files on the time capsule from my macbook pro when I am out of town?

Yes, with some provisos.. it is designed as primarily a backup location for Time Machine.
Look at Pondini who has a great deal of info in his KB of all things Time Machine .. as well as Time Capsule.
Q3 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
Remote access is via BTMM and iCloud.. just look it up.
But the TC must be the main router in the network for it to work.
