Trying to make .mov audio file from Mac workable on PC

So I took some files off of a Mac that I believe were imported directly from a mini DV tape. The files on the Mac were listed as .mov. Now when i open the drive up containing the files on a PC, they have no extension. I converted the larger file containing the video and managed to make it usable. The smaller file, obviously containing the audio, is proving to be an issue. I tried renaming it .mov and importing into Premiere, but it doesnt work in there. I tried converting it with audio converter programs and it just makes a 0 byte file. If anyone knows how I'd be able to make this usable that'd be great.

I do not have a Mac, so not 100% sure of this... but
On Windows, capturing from miniDV tape creates a SINGLE file of the DV AVI flavor with an AVI file extension
As far as I know, a tape captured via Mac also creates a SINGLE file, containing DV AVI inside a MOV wrapper
If you have 2 files, with video in one and audio in the other, my understanding is that those files are not direct captures from tape... something else was done to the original file to then create 2 files
But, as I said, I don't have a Mac... so maybe someone else who does have a Mac and captures from miniDV will add to this discussion
Back to the Windows side... what version of Quicktime do you have installed?
In general, MOV files will open in PPro-Windows if you have Quicktime installed
As far as no extension... that COULD be a Windows configuration issue, since it is possible to tell Windows to "hide" file extensions
Finally, exactly what is inside that MOV wrapper?

Does anyone know how to separate a movie track from an audio track on the new Mavericks Garage band. It used to be very easy on the iLife 11 version. If anyone could respond ASAP I'd be grateful. I need to make an audio file from a video.

I urgently need to make some audio tracks from videos using the new 2013 GarageBand. In iLife11 Garageband, this was very easy. However, I cannot see how to do it in the new one. The alternative might be to revert to the iLife11 version, so does anyone know how to do this. It's extremely urgent since I need to produce these for a court custody hearing which will take place at 0800 GMT UK time on 31st October 2013. Please help.
Thank you.

When you drag a movie from the Media Browser to the Time lIne in GarageBand, you will see a pop-up "Extracting Audio".
The Movie and the audio file will appear in separate tracks. You can copy the audio region from the sound track to a different track to keep it safe and then hide the Movie track.

Trying to import .mov audio file and burn as MP3

Can someone point me to a thread, or be kind enough to post answer, about how I might successfully import a .mov audio file and wind up burning it as an MP3. I've been dinking around with this for too long. I can import it and end up with it in the format: MPEG-1, Layer 3. But when I burn it to CD and play it on a Sony boom box, I hear nothing. I tried playing it in another iMac and hear nothing.
Thanks.

I was hoping someone in this forum could point me in the right direction to a web site that is designed specifically for Garage Band users that need sound effects.
Check out:

These both are GarageBand-oriented.

Error message when trying to move audio file from iTunes to iPhone 4s

I have an audio file I'm trying to put on my iPhone 4s. I can open it with iTunes, but when I try to move it to my iPhone, I just get a message that it can't be moved "because it can't be played on this iPhone." My itunes and iphone are both up to date. I have iCloud activated but nothing has moved to my iPhone either

Developing for iphone can be amazingly complicated and frustrating. (even before you start coding). The process of having to create a Certificate, to approving the Certificate, to Assigning the deviceIDs to the certificate, to creating the AppIDs, to creating the provisioning profiles and then creating the .p12 file... is just too tedious.
I solved the problem of the "Entitlements are not valid". The AppID i had set in the iPhone Developer Portal did not match that of the AppID i had set in the Adobe Flash CS5 -> Publish Settings. (ie. com.yourdomainname.yourappname). After I re-entered my AppID and compile, i was able to sync the .ipa file into my ipad.
I wish the error message had been a little more descriptive. Could have saved me a whole day.
I hope this helps others. But my guess is, if you don't set the 40 character device ID correctly, or the email in the signingcertificate correctly, you'll get this same generic error message.

When I connect my IPAd 2 to my desktop pc via usb cable desktop opens import photo screen. I am trying to copy/move downloaded files from my PC to Ipad 2. How do I correct this issue? Tx.

When I connect my Ipad 2 to my desktop (via USB) import photos screen open on desktop. I am trying to coppy/move files from desktop to Ipad 2. Import photos come up with import error and I cannot do anything else. How do you correct this issue? Tx. New user.

Actually, you can get photos onto an ipad from a PC. Connect them via USB (or wireless sync if you have that set up), go to the photos tab in iTunes, I don't have iTunes in front of me but there will be an option to sync photos from a folder on the PC to the iPad. You can choose an existing folder or make a new folder specifically for this purpose. Put the photos in said folder and then sync.
The photos from that folder will be transferred to your iPad

How do I move audio files from song list?

I have some audio MP3 files in iTunes, but they show up under the Songs List. Can I move them so they don't show up in the Music songs list, e.g. move them to podcasts?

No. In order to show up under Podcasts, they need to be dopwnloaded via an RSS feed which tells iTunes it is apodcast.

HT1391 how to move itunes files from mac to nonmac computer

I have a macbook pro with 10.9.5 and I want to share some videos that I bought from Itunes with someone who does not have a macintosh computer. Can I do this? If yes, How?

The problem is, the other person's computer will have to be authorized to play movies purchased with your account. If this is somebody else in your home then there are ways to do it with Home Sharing. If you're talking about giving a flash drive with a bunch movies to a friend at work or school, well that's why they have DRM protection on movies.
Oh, iTunes for Windows will play the movies, but it will still have to be authorized to your account.

While trying to upload an Audio file from a CD, iTunes won't let me. Says there is a duplicate file.

I have been successfully uploading Audio CDs for a Social Studies Textbook onto my iTouch. When I went to do this today, iTunes "Failed" because it says there is a duplicate file. I have not uploaded this new CD, so that is not possible. Each CD lists their "Tracks" the same way. Track 01, Track 02, etc, however I renamed previous tracks in iTunes.
I need to get these files uploaded so we can listen to them on the iTouch, but I have had no success today. The frustrating part is that I have done 3 CDs previously with no issues.
Even if I did find a duplicate file, I don't know how to delete the file. I do have 1 failed "Track 01" in the Recently Updated section, but it won't play, because it can't "locate" the file. When I try to delete in iTunes, "Delete" is greyed out and unavailable.
What do I need to do?

I keep getting 'check Internet connection' getting bit sick of it now ;( sorry cant help

Backing up audio files from music production apps onto sd card

Hi,
I was considering buying a new 128gb iPad Air, however I'm trying to find a cheaper alternative for my concern, I want to back up my audio files from BM2 onto an usb card via a camera connection kit from an iPad 3 32gb, it would be great if I could also read from it, especially two things in one go, I could use an SD card to store my audio files, and read into BM2, and also free the usb connector for a keyboard. I plan to start performing live and have produced more than 450 tracks, but I want each set to be unique, with different parts of different tracks playing via BM2 also with live keyboard performances routing through Audiobus. I find that like the next level compared to Djaying already produced tracks, also if I progress I could also manage a few live sessions while performing, via Samplr by recording samples from what's playing in output or sessions on other music apps which might not be Audiobus compatible, like iMPC, please could you give us this option to move audio files from device to SD card or usb to transfer onto a computer to back up, in case internet is very weak, or would Apple not allow it? I mainly produce on Intua Beatmaker and have been producing since 2009, I have a sound cloud account www.soundcloud.com/a-submitter, and a website www.asubmitter.com. Please since my internet connection is really bad, as though NSA are tampering with it or Sky are curtailing it, I cannot move bulk folders or files which I highlight via Filezilla, and sometimes moving one file takes ages working as low as 90kbps, when I have a fibre optical internet line from Sky, and it is supposed to be 8mbs upload and 15mbs download, my computer is a mac mini 2012, the latest, but not the highest spec, but still the internet performs as though it's ten years ago.
Thanks
Kash

The camera connection kit can only be used to copy photos/videos to the iPad's Videos app. If you want to leave feedback for Apple (these are user-to-user forums) then you can do so here : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

im hoping for some help as this is becoming frustrating!
and i am using a music file which has been downloaded!

At a minimum, you need MP3 and OGG audio files. If you don't have them, use the online converter below: http://media.io/
With an HTML5 doc type, your code should look like this:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>HTML5 Audio Demo</title>

</head>
<body>
<p>This works in all modern browsers. </p>
<audio controls>
<source src="path/yourSong.ogg" type="audio/ogg">
<source src="path/yourSong.mp3" type="audio/mp3">
<p>Your browser doesn't support audio.</p>

Export Audio File from Library

I'm trying to export an audio file from the library so I can
edit it. When I right click on it and try to edit it I get a
message that the file does not exist. Does anyone know a way to
export the file because I don't have the original.

What file format? For example, .wma only plays in iTunes for Windows and is a common format for PC users.

I'm trying to extract audio files from my OLYMPUS Digital Voice Recorder VN-6200PC I am getting this error whenever I try to play its file type on my MacBook Pro,"The document "VN622195.WMA" could not be opened. The movie's file format isn't recognized."

I am getting this error whenever I try to play its file type on my MacBook Pro,"The document “VN622195.WMA” could not be opened. The movie's file format isn't recognized."

The mac has no native way to read .wma files (these are Windows Media Audio files). Do a search on the internet for playing wma files on a mac. You will find several links to solution (one is to use flip4mac).

Have you tried simply dragging the file from one stick to the other? Do you know the format of the memory sticks (Macs can't write to those formatted as NTFS without the use of third-party software)?

Can't play audio files from pre-Intel Mac

I have some audio files from my old PowerPc Mac (around 1998) which I'd dearly like to be able to hear again on my 2011 Intel G5 Mac (10.7.4).
The files were created by me on the old Mac using the basic sound recording software that came with all Macs. The files are just people speaking.
I have attached an image of the icon that is associated witho these files now. For some of these files, the properties show the file type as "QuickTime Player.app Document".I tried opening the files using Quicktime Player app, to no avail.
Other files are shown as being a "Unix Executable file" type.
I also have other files from the old Mac with this same icon. With those that I know were text files of some kind, I have just simply added .txt at the end of the filename and hey presto, the file is viewable again. I haven't been so lucky with the others.
I imagine also that its not so simple with these audio files but I wouldn't know what file extension to use as I haven't worked with audio files before.
Also, is there a way to keep these files in some generic format, to avoid this problem happening again in the future, as technology advances?
If you can help with this problem, please reply.

.... on my 2011 Intel G5 Mac (10.7.4)
There is no such thing as an Intel G5 Mac.

I tried everything for about 3hrs. and nothing worked for me. I am new at this and I just don't know how to do it.
I setup file sharing for Windows and I did what I was suppose to do on the Mac, but I still get a communication error on the Mac.
Windows says, network is connected, but the Mac say error.
