In IMovie 11 9.04 my background music loses time when I transfer it to the slide show. How do I correct that?

I have a slide show project which runs about 7:10 minutes. I want to use background music that consists of 2 songs. The first song is 3:11 minutes and the second song is 4:51 minutes. Even when I add transitions and more images, the second song loses duration the moment I transfer it to the slide show. HOw do I adjust that?
Thank you.

no Sony camcorder records in mp2.
years ago, there were DVDcorders ... encoding in mp2,, but wrapped into .vob - this can not be fixed with Perian
... sorry for being so ... stubborn, but my assumption is, your wrong diagnosis 'mp2' leads to an unnecessary, obsolete and painstaking long workflow. again, no camcorder on the market records in mp2 (as long as I stand corrected! )
so, what Sony model, please?
I guess, there's a much more conveniant way importing your videos ...

I am trying to include a number of iTunes tracks to my iMovie project as background music. However, when I drag and drop the tracks into the grey areas between thumbnail pics, they seem to be locking into specific clips

How can I stop this from happening? I simply want to have a number of tracks playing one after the other as background music from the start to finish of my project.

What version of iMovie?
What Device?
Have tried to restart, soft reset your device?
What is the video audio source?
This forum is for iMovie iOS (ipads & iphones).
Are you referring to iMovie Mac?
If so I can get your post moved.

I added music to a set of clips but want to stop the music there and have no music in the rest of the movie. How do I do that?

there are two ways applying music to an iM project
http://help.apple.com/imovie/#mov3b0f955f
as 'Background' which offers lots of automatisms, but lil' control
or…

as 'clip' - which can be handled asany other clip, edited, shortened, copy/paste, faded, located, etc

This is my first time using iphoto, I am trying to make a slide show that I can then burn to a dvd. The slide show is complete, but I'm not sure where to go now. Can I burn the slide show from iphoto or do I have to export to imovie or idvd?

I have completed the slide show i am making, but not sure what to do now. I want to burn it to a dvd, but not sure if i can do that from iphoto or do i need to export to imovie or idvd? If i need to export, will iphoto save a copy in iphoto? This may be really stupid, but I don't see an obvious way to save my slide show in iphoto. Please Help!

Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. Select Size = Medium or Large.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.
NOTE: If you're running iPhoto 9.5 the export options will be different.

Had to restore my computer and now have music on the iPad that I would like to transfer back to the computer. How do I do this? (Operating system is Windows Vista)

This depends, if the music was purchased on the iTunes store you can transfer purchases. If it was not then you would need a 3rd party program in order to rip these files to the computer.

☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen. Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then take one of the actions that you're having trouble with.

Hello Rod2174,
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues with your iPod shuffle. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are describing. If you are having issues transferring music to your iPod or playing music that is on your iPod, you may find the information and articles linked from the following page helpful:

HT204053 I had music in an iTunes acct under a previous Apple ID. How do I convert that music to my current Apple ID?

You cannot. Items from the iTunes Store are permanently tied to the Apple ID through which they were purchased. If you wish to re-dowload those tracks, you'll have to log into the Store using that old Apple ID.
Regards.

IMovie seems to have developed a glitch. When i try to import photos they show in the timeline but not in the movie.

Any ideas?

You are probably looking in the wrong place - all photos in Photo view and in event too unless you have a corrupted library
most common cause of your not finding them is bad sort - view menu ==> sort events
Nest most common cause is a bad data/time on the camera - this can be corrected using a smart album to find the photos from that camera and then using using the adjust time/date command to fix the bad ones
YOu can alwasy find the event a Photo is in by selecting it and selecting show event

Help! I thought I was pretty good setting up slide shows and adding music. I'm trying to make a new slide show from a great trip to New York. I can get theme music but no music at all from iTunes. Checking my older slide shows, which did play music!

Help! I thought I was pretty good setting up slide shows and adding music. I'm trying to make a new slide show from a great trip to New York. I can get theme music but no music at all from iTunes. Checking my older slide shows, which did play music, it's all gone!
Problem seems to have started after updating to Mavericks.
Is there a box I need to check/uncheck?
Any help very welcome!

Hopefully you've seen the post from Terence Devlin? I've pasted it below.
In iTunes go File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Reorganise Library.
Then quit and restart iPhoto.
Pity Apple didn't either warn us or set up a bug fix!

I can only listen to music in iTunes when i'm connected to the internet. Everything seems to have uploaded onto iCloud - something I didn't sign up for. Happened with the latest iTunes update. Help!

I can only listen to music in iTunes when i'm connected to the internet. Everything seems to have uploaded onto iCloud - something I didn't sign up for. Happened with the latest iTunes update.
All of the music is still on my computer, but when I play it through iTunes, it either buffers first (when I'm connected to the internet) or it is greyed out (offline) and I can't listen to it.
This is beyond annoying. Is there anything I can do to sort this out?
Cheers.

Background music continuous play when navigating through website

Hello,
I managed to get some background music playing on my website referencing another thread, however I would like the music to play continuously when you navigate through the website.
Also, is it possible to add a sound on/off button somewhere without the full player?
The site is built in Muse and this is the html code I used:
<audio src="http://filename.mp3" autoplay loop></audio>
and Here is my website:

Any answers are appreciated! Thanks!

You're not alone!
I realized the problems with the ipod nano 6th generation when i got myself one of these little toys and tried to get it running in my Ford Focus (build 2010) using the AUX-input of the car.
Same problems with the static noise, no matter which cable i tried. But I ignored it then, because I usually use the iphone 3gs I have in my car for music and navigation (via AUX-input and headphones) without any problems.
But that forgotten incompatibility-problem between ford aux-port (I have a CDS6000 radio) and iPod nano 6G just reappeared when I tried my new iphone 4s in the car. Just the same **** as with the ipod nano 6g.
My guess is, that apple replaced the earphone-sockets with some other components with the newer built devices (2nd half of 2010 and newer).
So I've just ordered an adapter from apple-dock to AUX. I hope that helps, but I don't understand, why just Ford has this problem. I've tried the same cable with the iPod Nano 6G and iPhone 4S with my logitech speakers (using the headphone-socket) without any problems.
If anybody has a clue why this happens, or what changed between the ipod/iphone generations regarding the headphone-socket, I'd like to know.
thanks in advance

TS4062 I can't sync music on my computer to my ipod touch; the ipod shows up under Devices in itunes but does not show buttons (Summary etc.) when I click on it. Suggestions?

I can't sync music already on my computer to my ipod touch; the ipod shows up under Devices in itunes but does not show buttons (Summary etc.) when I click on it. I've read through all the Help tutorials but none of them say what to do if the sync options don't pop up when you highlight the device. I've already spent way too much time trying to figure this out and it's driving me crazy! Thanks for any help you can offer.

This is correct. It will not show in finder. It is not an external storage device.
The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases. Open itunes connect ipod, do not sync, click File>Transfer Purchases
