I can't import from Itunes into FCP HD

If my motorcycles ran like this tuff I'd never get out of the garage! thanks for your help in advance. bRAD

It is songs purchased from iTunes that you cannot convert...and that we cannot explain how to convert. Even though YOU might use it for legal purposes, such as temp music or demo reels, we still cannot explain how to bypass DRM on Apple's own site. Doing so would violate their rules.
BUT...if you have a CD of the music, getting songs is much easier:
#5 Imported music from CD or iTunes
Shane's Stock Answer #5:
To get music into FCP, it needs to be an AIFF file at 48khz, 16 bit stereo. So if you want a song from a CD, you go into the iTunes Preferences and set this up under the IMPORTING tab:
File > preferences > importing > import using - AIFF encoder > Setting - Custom
Sample Rate - 48.000 kHz
Sample size - 16 bit
Channels - Stereo
If you have an mp3 that you want to use, then you can convert it thru iTunes as well.
If the piece of music you want to use is something you purchased thru iTunes, I'm afraid I can't help you there. There are copywrite issues that prevent files from being converted into the format that FCP can recognize.

Be careful, FCP is an open system which is great, but it allows you to work with formats that are not completely compatible with fcp and can cause serious problems down the road. You can check the formats of all audio files brought into fcp by selecting them in the browser and hitting command-9, Use compressor to convert all audio files to 48k 16 bit aiffs before importing to fcp. There's a preset for this format in the apple presets. You mention video files. The same thing holds. In particular, avoid bringing in h264 quicktime movies. Convert to an fcp friendly format like prores using compressor.

Can't Drag from iTunes into Garageband anymore

After routine software update to iTunes 10 and Garageband 09 version 5.1, I can no longer drag files from iTunes into Garageband, whereas I always could before. Whats wrong? I'm using an iMac with a 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor with 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory.

Somehow, when I tried to drag from the finder, I didn't always get the right song! But if I double clicked that song in the finder, the right song was played by iTunes, even though the wrong song showed up in Garage Band. Dragging to and from the desktop worked fine, and I just dragged it from the desktop to the trash after I worked on it in Garage Band for editing and "sharing" back into iTunes.

Can't import from 3GS into iPhoto

Now when I plug my iPhone in, iPhoto starts up, but no preview of pictures is displayed, and the import button remains grayed out. So I can't import photos.
I have the 3rd party app phoneview. It allowed me to import photos by dragging from it into iPhoto. However phoneview doesn't recognize videos, so they remain stuck on my iPhone.
I did previously upload one bunch of photos that even included some videos, but now it doesn't seem to work. I'm running the latest everything, including Mac OS, iTunes and iPhoto.

There are many video formats. iPhoto can't read all of them; in fact, it can't read most of them. Here's something that can:
VideoLAN - Download official VLC media player for Mac OS X
On the other hand, the videos are just files. You can copy them anywhere you want in the Finder.

Can't import from Eudora into Mail

I'm trying to import mailboxes from Eudora into Mail. Unfortunately, Mail crashes right in the middle of the process. Has anyone had this problem? If it can't be solved, is there a way to do this manually? Finally, if all else fails, what do you consider to be a good email program other than Mail? I'd like to upgrade to Snow Leopard and

Last I knew, Eudora ran fine under 10.5.8
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at the top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."

Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)

Flicker/Pixelized movie after importing from motion into FCP

Hello, I captured a clip from HDV tape via Firewire using log and capture in FCP, then exported the clip to Motion where I applied filiters. I made a movie from Motion and imported it back in FCP. The movie required rendering to play and it now has a flicker and is grossly pixelized. Anyone know what could be causing this?

The render requirement is not surprising - all motion clips require rendering. How are you viewing your clip? You can't judge by what you see in the canvas...

Can't import from Entourage into Mail

I'm trying to import my Entourage 2008 email into Apple Mail 6.0. Everytime I try I get an error message, "Error - Unable to connect to Microsoft Entourage. Try opening Microsoft Entourage first, then run the import". I tried that and it didn't work either. I exported my Entourage data as a .rge but then when I try to import it, there is a nested duplication of all the folders from Entourage. And I've got too many emails/folders to drag them. Any ideas or suggestions?

This is too late for Norm, but incase anyone else is having this problem, it may be due to having Office 2011 installed (ignore if this is not your case).
I would find the same error on trying to import from Entourage, and after digging around a bit, tracked the problem to having Office 2011 installed. Once I completely removed Office 2011, the import worked fine.

Importing from DVD into FCP

I need to edit using material on a dvd in VIDEO_TS format. Is there someway to import it directly from Final Cut Pro or do I use Compressor or MPEG Streamclip or something else? Can you spell out for me what I need to do as I'm not a techie.
Also I have 2x DVD-R 's which when I put into my computer's DVD tray it reads as empty discs, yet they both play fine on my TV's DVD player. What's the solution.

Can't import ref movie into FCP

Can't figure this one out. If I export either a QT reference movie or self-contained movie out of FCP, I cannot import it back in. I get a file error message access denied. What gives?
Thanks,
Tom

You can search here for ACCESS DENIED, we see the topic often.
Most likely is that you are saving it to drive or folder to which you do not have adequate privileges. I don't think we've ever figured it out.

Can I Import iPhoto slideshow into FCP?

I wish to import a slideshow of a wedding to add to DV footage which ultimately wil be exported to iDVD. Trouble is, every time I import the slideshow it requires contstant rendering, and no matter how much I tweak the sequence settings- it still causes problems ie- constantly requires rendering, won't play properly- PAINFULLY slow... grrr. Any help appreciated in finding the right button? Be kind! I am sure the answer must be transparently obvious, but my manuals have not helped
Ta again
Martin

Many thanks for your help- my problem with iPhoto was that I could only create a sideshow with one music track-when a very long slideshow needed 3. I managed to export the slideshow using compressor turning the long slideshow into a DV file which FCP happily accepted. No doubt there is an easier way but I did not find it.
Guess I'm the guy who goes for the scenic route
ta again for your thoughts

Can't transfer/import XDCAM files from harddrive into FCP

hi, i filmed all of my footage using an XDCAM and had to return the cams immediately. so i copied all the clips from the capture media to an external hard drive (everything within the BPAV folder) one to one. i also downloaded and installed the XDCAM EX Clip Browser on my MacBook Pro and can view the clips.
the problem i have is that i can't import the clips into FCP. the "Import> SONY XDCAM..." feature in FCP won't allow me to access these files. the BPAV folder remains greyed out.
what do i need to do to get the clips into FCP? is there a different plugin i need? the clip browser won't let me export the clips to any other format. i'm stumped. i run FCP computer on my G5 PPC Quad core. the file browser only runs on Intel macs. so i use my MBP to view the clips but that's all i can do.
can someone please help me out ?
many thx!
fj

in the spirit of armano'os last post and FYI: i picked up the cams on short notice, never used them before and there were no instructions. the ppl just told me to copy the files over to my HD, since i had to return the cams immediately and had no time to hook up the cams to FCP.
the 'mistake' i seem to have made was that i looked at the data structure and saw that the clips always ended up in the CLPR folder within each BPAV folder - each in its own folder in that fiolder and with XML and data files - so i copied directly to that one BPAV folder i copied from the first capture media i moved to my hard drive instead of copying the entire BPAV folder from each capture media. however i tested the import immediately to see if it actually played back the files in the XDCAM clip browser and they did.
i assumed all was fine with this method and it would save me a lot of duplicate BPAV folders... hopefully though this isn't the end.

Why can't I import a movie I bought from itunes into my presentation

Why can't I import a movie I bought from itunes into my presentation?

msjones,
Most, if not all material sold on itunes is copyrighted and there are anti-piracy provisions embedded in the code. You may not have the rights to copy the movie to another medium such as Keynote. Your purchase of the movie and what you can do with it are limited.

I can't import any songs into iTunes.

I can't import any songs into iTunes. I can drag and drop but nothing will happen. Songs show up when a search is done but songs cannot be played or located in iTunes. I think this has something to do with the recent update because I have songs imported into iTunes from December.

I found the problem. I have VMware fusion that is hosting Window XP on the iMac. When the fusion is running the CD player is not seen in OS. By quitting Fusion I can now insert a CD and the disk icon appears on the OS screen. Now I can bring up iTunes and import the audio and continue as before. The one exception is I cannot bring in a photo of the album cover as before I have to drag the photo out of iPhoto and onto the desk top. Then I can drag it into the artwork patch in the iTunes/ info window.

Can't import audio CD into iTunes with Vista

I can't import audio CDs into iTunes with my new Dell 531 Vista computer. The songs seem to import, but only small (~50K) files are created, which don't play.

JohnAndKel,
That's odd because the CD reading test that the diagnostics runs didn't report an error. What happens if you select a song from the CD in iTunes and play directly from CD?
(Just a note, the filter trick doesn't do anything for CD import, just CD burn. iTunes doesn't use the Gear drivers for reading the CD.)
