RROR ITMS-9000: "Files of type audio/x-m4a are not allowed outside of widgets

Hello,
I have seen that here are discussions about the error, but I could not find a satisfying solution.
I put ONE audiofile in a media widget and now I am stuck for hours trying again and again to deliver the ibook first time.
Even after deleteing the page and the audiofile still Producer complains about it. that is really weird.
I unchecked all the drm boxes, sitll the same.
I really like to avoid building up the entire book of 124 pages only for a workaround.

I had the same problem. Someone at apple support sent me the following instructions and it worked to successfully deliver the package that kept getting the same error. By sample book they mean your complete book. Here are the instructions :
1. Open the sample book .iba file in iBooks Author
2. Click "publish" from the toolbar
3. Save the file and click Publish. The program will export and save the book as a .itmsp package in the location you selected.
4. iTunes Producer should automatically open once you have clicked Publish -- please close iTunes Producer
5. Find the .itmsp package in the location you selected
6. Control+click the .itmsp file in a finder window and select "Show Package Contents"
7. You should see the .ibooks file in the package -- this is the preview file that will need to be uploaded via iTunes Producer. You can drag the .ibooks file to your desktop or save it to any location of your choosing
8. Open iTunes Producer and click "Open Package"
9. Find and open the appropriate package
10. Under the Assets tab, choose the sample .ibooks file under the "Upload Publication Preview" section
11. Make sure all the metadata is filled out correctly and click file > save and deliver

Has anyone been able to upload an ibooks file with audio only files (m4a) in it? I keep getting the following error message during the upload in iTunes Producer: ERROR ITMS-9000: "Files of type audio/x-m4a are not allowed outside of widgets.

Has anyone been able to upload an ibooks file with audio only files (m4a) in it? I keep getting the following error message during the upload in iTunes Producer: ERROR ITMS-9000: "Files of type audio/x-m4a are not allowed outside of widgets. then it names the file as an m4p file. Everything works beautifully on the iPad through Preview, and validates through iTunes Producer up until the attempted upload. If you've been able to accomplish this, please let me know how you prepared your audio files. Many thanks.

Hello Fellow iBook Authors!
Today I received the same error that you all have been discussing. I tried selecting the DRM
and this did not work for me, though I'm glad it did for some. Here's what I did as a work-around. . .
Since iBooks Author did not have a problem with Videos, I simply used one of my video programs, ScreenFlow to turn the audio into a video file m4v. I added an image and extended the length or timing of the image to span the length of the audio file. Then exported as an .mov. I then opened QuickTime and opened the file and exported the file to iTunes.
You can use iMovie, Camtasia or any other progam that will allow you to export the audio as a movie file. Does this make sense? I hope this helps, at least in the short-term.

I successfully uploaded a book using iBook Author. I need to make a correction. I keep getting this error message: ERROR ITMS-9000: "Files of type audio/x-m4a are not allowed outside of widgets: assets/media/chick02.m4p" at Book (MZItmspBookPackage)

I appreciate any help or assistance. I have been trying to update one of my books for for the past few days with no success. I really just need to change two letters. But since I was updating I thought I would make a couple more improvements. I clicked disable portrait and made my pictures a little bigger to fit the whole page. But now I keep getting this error for multiple sound effects throughout the book. ERROR ITMS-9000: "Files of type audio/x-m4a are not allowed outside of widgets: assets/media/chick02.m4p" at Book (MZItmspBookPackage). I did not change the audio. The audio files are placed in widgets. I had no problem the first time it uploaded. I have recreated my whole book from scratch and it still does not work. Does anyone have a suggestion? Thank you for your attention to my question.

Could it matter that I am dragging my audio files onto my document? They appear to be in a widget once dragged in. I use the widget insector to make changes. However, I did not go to the top of the screen and click widget and then insert my audio file.
I don't believe that would make any difference. Drag-and-drop is just a UI shortcut for using the menu items.
Also some of the audio file were used in previous books. Would that cause an error?
No. Each book is a stand-alone entity. It doesn't matter if the same audio file appears in another book.
From what people have reported here, it looks like there is a bug in the submission system. Other than trying the suggestions posted in the linked-to thread, I don't think there is anything you can do to fix it.
I would submit a bug report to Apple though. Quite a lot of people seem to be affected by this problem, and if they hear about the same problem from lots of different sources, that will (presumably) elevate the importance of fixing it.

Any advice??? Hope someone can help!

iBookstore Publisher Support send me a fast response email which included some helpful info:
Please make sure that all image files inside the ePub end with one of the following: ".tif", ".jpg", or ".png" and that the file itself matches the file extension type. To check if the image file matches the file extension type, please right click on the image then select "Get Info". Once the info tab appears, please make sure that the file extension type of the image file matches the "Kind" found under "General".
For further information regarding embedded images, please refer to the iBookstore Asset Guide, which is available for download in the Deliver Your Content module in iTunes Connect.
And they INCLUDED THE TRANSPORTER LOG (!), the log generated by iTunes Producer as it tries to upload a book. We were able to search for the Validation Error # within the log and find out which image Producer was trying to upload when it encountered an error. Turns out the problem was a corrupted screenshot jpeg.
Grateful!

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I had done screen shots on the iPad and then emailed them to my Mac. I then worked to cut the black bar off the top, but some how Photoshop wasn't saving them correctly. I couldn't even reopen them in PS. So, I downloaded them again, went back in, saved them as .jpegs and then reuploaded. That solved it. It was quite bizarre.
Now trying to get the description listing right in the iBookstore.
I wrote the piece out, I thought in TextEdit. Then pasted it into the box in iTunesProducer. When I was getting the error message above, it also was saying that there's a 4,000-character limit. So, I copied it into Pages and did a character count and saw 3,887. I still had to cut about 500 chactacters out. Support responded and said I was still very close to the limit, so I don't know what it was they were counting. My Pages counter said it was close to 3,300....
My problem now is that they have bullet points on lines with no text now. They've fixed it from how it was first diplaying. So, I'm trying to get that cleaned up. It's their fault, but it looks like me, the publisher, is the one who is clueless......
Here's the link to our iBook!

When i queue a file for export the encoder is changing my settings to ACC Audio & my settings are not in the drop down

when i queue a file for export the encoder is changing my settings to ACC Audio & my settings are not in the drop down. Help

There's something else going on. When you search, the search box searches the Spotlight database that it created when indexing. It doesn't search the computer again. I suspect a hosed index. System Preferences->Spotlight->Privacy->delete all volumes and readd them back in. That should reindex the computer and all attached HDs. BTW, by default there are many places Spotlight doesn't return information from, mainly the various Library folders and the System folder. If you want to find everything, do this:
Click on the Desktop, CMD+F, click on Kind button, select Other, drill down to File invisible, check it, continue down to System files, check it, and click OK. Now, click on + button, click on the left-hand item and select System files and select are included, click on the plus button, click on the left-hand item and select File visibility and select visible or invisible, select File Name, save the search, drag its icon to the Dock, and use to search your entire Mac—currently starts with By Name, but Contents is available. I use this instead of CMD+F or CMD+spacebar for all searches.

Video files of type *.flv and *.f4v are considered Flash files, how play them (win7)

video files of type *.flv and *.f4v are considered Flash files, how play them (win7) are files in file windows explorer?

Not sure what you are saying; are these local or online files?
Adobe does not longer provide Adobe Media Player to play local files; use a 3rd-party player like VLC Media Player.

Audio and video are not synched

I'm just beginning with FXP X (8), and just added a file to my event library, and created a new project. Dragged my first clip into the story line, and discovered that the audio and video are not syched. This is original footage from a video camera, no modifications or added tracks. But clearly the words of the speaker on camera are not synched with the video, both in the event library and in the story line clip. Is this operator error (lol)? TIA for any help, I'm stuck on square one.

You can right click on your clip in the storyline and Detach Audio.
After that, you can slide the audio until it's in sync or if it changes sync over the length of the clip, there is a way to correct that as well.
First, in the video, skim the playhead until you can see something that will "mark" a specific start of a sound and set a Marker (type M). Then select the audio portion (already detached) and find the start of the matching sound and type M (adds marker to the audio.) Turn on snapping and slide the audio until the two markers snap.
If you need to correct sync drift, use the same technique for markers near the end of the clip, but instead of sliding the complete audio clip, Retime the audio clip (type command-R) (set the playhead over the video marker - snapping won't work when retiming) and adjust the end of the audio until the two markers match up. Preserve Pitch (from the Retime menu) should already be selected.

K900 audio and video are not in sync.

Hi All,
New entry in this forum. I have this K900 phone and i think its an amazing piece or art. But not without its problems though. A perennial issue is when I am playing a video file, initially it plays smoothly but eventually the audio and video are not in sync. Dragging the slider left and right or pausing and playing agian only worstens the issue.
Have any body ever faced such issues? If yes kinldy share a solution if any.

the old apps are on my computer but they have had upgrades since they were put on the ipod originally. you think you would get a warning about this when you restored. I was not worried about losing the progress of the apps but i would have been worried about the app it self!!!!!

Transaction type 148: affiliated company indicator not allowed

I am trying to create new transfer variant for intercompany asset transfers, but when saving I am getting error AC768 Transaction type 148: affiliated company indicator not allowed'.
Interesting, transaction type 148 is not used in any of the existing transfer variants. Even if I don't change anything in any variant I am still getting this error message. I switched it off in t-code OBA5 (after adding it in OBMSG), but I am still getting that error message and I am not able to create new transfer variant.
Is there any other option that to modify this transaction type 148? It is standard so I don't want to modify it.

Hi,
please go to transaction OABE and try to tick the Gross transfer indicator. kindly provide feedback if it solves your current error.
Regards,
