What about sounds that *I* sampled, or Garageband tracks?

I'd like to create custom ringtones from sounds that I sampled, like the sound of my Harley being revved, or my wife saying "Answer the phone, dummy!". And, I'd like to use Garageband to create tracks that I can use as custom ringtones.
Unless I misunderstood the announcement, I WON'T be able to use either self-sampled or Garageband tracks with the standard iTunes ringtone generator.
I acknowledge that there are copyrighted works that are sold by ITMS, and that Apple has to pay a copyright fee for each sale. And, I acknowledge that DRM-protected materials exist and that the use of DRM-protected materials as ringtones may not fall under DMCA-specified "fair use" of those materials.
However, do I have to make an RIAA-approved recording of my wife's voice or find a way to pay a fee for Garageband-generated tracks just to be able to use them as ringtones?
Come on, Apple. Restricting self-generated content from being used as ringtones in favor of your "approved" media files is counterintuitive, coercive, and just plain silly.

This definitely has me stumped as I'm unsure as to why your guitar can be heard, but with none of the channel strips plugins applied to the sound.
On the record enabled channel strip that contains your guitar input, is the "I" button located near the "R" active? Also, if you record your guitar, can you hear the FX applied to it when you play back the recorded track?

    I want to use a video projector with powerpoint can I use my mac to drive it- and what about sound?

    Hi Scott,
    You should be able to. If the projector has a speaker with acceptable sound, that's one option, otherwise powered speakers or a surround system.
    What connections does the projector have?
    Exactly which MBP do you have?

  • What about photos that *don't* belong to an event?

    i love the new "events," but what about photos that are not part of an event?
    for example, one day in 2001, i imported a bunch of photos from around the net to use as desktop pictures. but those photos don't exactly comprise an "event." that same day, my sister sent me one photo of her newborn baby. now, iphoto's calling all of that day's photos an event. although i love the concept of events, it bugs me to call certain groupings "events," when that's not what they are.
    i can't seem to find a way to delete an event. is it mandatory that each photo belong to an event? if events have truly replaced "rolls," i imagine every photo must therefore belong to one.
    i already have albums entitled "family" and "desktop pictures," so those photos are already organized elsewhere. but how are you guys handling random photos that don't exactly qualify to be called "events"? as i type, it occurs to me to create an event called "non-events." but i'd still love to hear how others are dealing with this.

    An Event looks to be just another name for a Roll. And in all previous versions of iPhoto all photos had to belong to a Roll, whether you liked it or not, either named by your convention or by iPhoto's default.
    I guess with the metaphor of film rolls fading quickly as digital cameras advance, a new moniker for the base catalog entry was necessary. Suits me fine as long as the equivalent functionality is preserved with new features a bonus worth the price of "upgrading".
    I have not tried the switch to the new iLife iPhoto version yet (iMovie 8 is a HUGE step backwards so my caution meter is on FULL alert), as I have the same reservations. I have scrupulously kept Rolls organized by import date and require all that existing metadata be transferred perfectly.

  • HT1329 what about music that I have taken from a bought CD and put onto my ipod? I have already transfered music purchased through the itunes store, but how do I transfer all the stuff I took from my CDs?

    How can I transfer my ipod content from old pc (which cannot be connected to the internet anymore) to my new laptop (which is connected to the internet), Bearing in mind that:
    1, I already have itunes on the laptop and have successfully added to my laptop itunes library the few songs PURCHASED from itunes.
    2, My ipod (classic) and the itunes library on the pc also has a number of tunes that I have taken from my cd collection.
    3, when I connect my ipod to the laptop, it wants to sync to the laptop by keeping the PURCHASED items, and deleting the stuff I have put on from my CD collection.
    4, I cannot activate home sharing on the PC because it's not longer connected to the internet and cannot be re-connected to the internet.
    What do I do?

    Type "move iTunes Library" into the search bar and follow the instructions found there.
    There are multiple ways to move the iTunes library.  Hint:  None of them involve using an iOS device.

  • Add text layer to all files in folder: what about files that already are searchable?

    Hi everyone
    I'd like to make my scanned PDF documents searchable using the OCR feature of Adobe Acrobat X Standard. The scanned PDF files are stored in one folder (or its subfolders respectively). In principle I could just go to the OCR feature, tell it to add that folder to the OCR conversion list and replace all PDF files in it with searchable versions.
    Some of the files in the folder, however, already are searchable because they were created from Word files for instance. My question is: What will Acrobat's OCR feature do with these files that already are searchable? Will it leave them unchangend? Or will it create new files and replace their existing "text layer" with a new text layer?
    One of the reasons for my question is, that the existing "text layer" is free of recognition errors by definition (because it has been added by Word's conversion feature). This means, a new text layer added by Acrobat's OCR feature can only be equal or inferior in quality compared to the existing one. In the latter case, it wouldn't make sense to replace the existing "text layer".
    A second reason is that some of the already searchable files have security properties (i. e. signatures). What is going to happen to them when the OCR feature creates a new file?
    Thank you for your answers!

    The usual thing is that Acrobat will object, saying the file contains "renderable text", and do nothing.
    OCR on a file with signatures will, at best, invalidate the signature. More likely, all trace of the signature will be deleted, and it will attempt to do OCR on the visual appearance, finally leaving a graphic. OCR is  not really intended as a late-stage process.

  • What about numbers that start with Zero

    When I enter numbers that start with Zero (EX: 08794) in a cell, Numbers automatically drops the zero. I WANT THE ZERO. How can I do that. I've tried changing the formula to numerals and automatic. Same thing.

    Numbers starting with zeros are usually "labels" rather than "numbers" used in further calculations. If that's the case with yours, the easiest solution is to set the format of the cells where the 'numbers' will be inserted to Text.
    An alternate, useful only if all of the 'numbers' are the same length (eg. five digit zip codes) is to set a Custom format for the cell(s).
    Use the Cell Format Inspector ("42" button in the Inspector) to apply either of these settings.

    I'm new using Logic, i've been using garageband for quite awhile now though but my question is just basic. When i want to record electric guitar while clicking the software option it brings me to alot of guitar sounds that i want to chose. I chose the twangy electric or the distorted strat but i only hear clean sounds. No matter what kind of guitar sound i chose in the library it only produces clean guitar. How can i make it sound like it supposed to? Did i miss something i should do?

  • HT4009 What about upgrading? I can't do that from where I live w/o connecting to my hd. Now with the new changes to ITunes, I don't see how I can upgrade thru the traditional route I took b4. Now what do I do?

    What about upgrading apps on your IPhone? I can't do that from where I live w/o connecting directly to my laptop. With Apple's new Itunes page, I don't see how I can navigate successfully now to acheive the same result as before. Hmmm. I would appreciate some quick guidance. Thanks.

    With iTunes 11 you can enable the left-hand sidebar that used to show on previous versions of iTunes via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC. You can then select the Apps part of your iTunes library on that sidebar and on the right-hand side of iTunes click the Check For Updates button at the bottom to see if any of your apps have updates available. Then connect your phone and select it on the sidebar, and on the Apps tab on the right-hand side click the Sync button at the bottom of it to copy the updates over

  • How do I get out of kernel panic?  kernel panic upon boot.  I did that hard drive cleanup and reinstalled Lion.  What about memory?  Anyone think I need to upgrade my memory?  I have 8gig.

    I get kernel paic upon boot.  I did that hard drive cleanup and reinstalled Lion.  What about memory?  Anyone think I need to upgrade my memory?  I have 8 G of upgraded RAM. (20 inch iMac core 2 duo)

    If you're able to boot, launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Select the most recent panic log under System Diagnostic Reports. Post the contents — the text, please, not a screenshot. For privacy’s sake, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post "shutdownStall" or "hang" reports.
    If you can't boot in the usual way, try a safe boot. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    During startup, you’ll see a progress bar, and then the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, you can’t boot in safe mode.

  • What about setting the page numbering on a bunch of files that are used in multiple Bookfiles?

    I have an FM 10 bookfile called  BookfileA with 20 chapters. In chapter 1, I set the chapter numbering to start at 1 and the page numbering to start at 1. In chapters 2 through 20, I set the chapter numbering and the page numbering to increment from the previous chapter. So far, so good, but here's the problem. .....
    In BookfileB, chapter 1 is a different file, and the original chapter 1 is moved to chapter 2. But BookfileB's chapter 2 is still self-resetting its chapter and page numbering to 1.
    Because of the unusual fact that BookfileB has an extra chapter, do I have to monkey with the chapter numbering every time I want to generate one variant or the other? Is there something about numbering that I don't realize?

    > You're still using the Book settings to specify how the file is to behave with that option ...
    True enough.
    [*]RFF is likely the optimal setting for most users, who either don't have multiple Book files, or do, but use a consistent numbering scheme for all (our case).
    If RFF is not selected, and the Book and component file Document Numbering settings don't match, FM complains, vaguely. It's a pain to chase down why. And in our experience, if RFF is not set, the Book and component file numbering can get desynchronized by FM crashes, so what was working all of a sudden does not.

  • I have a acrobat reader, can I import text delimited data format to a PDF Form so that it can auto fill into forms that was created? If not, what about FDF and XML data

    I have a acrobat reader, can I import text delimited data format to a PDF Form so that it can auto fill into forms that was created? If not, what about FDF and XML data

    Yes, you can do all of that via Tools - Forms - More Form Options - Import Data, if you have Acrobat.
    If you only have the free Reader then you can still do it, but it requires a script.

    If you want to use multiple devices - move to imap, I would even say "exchange", but Google does not support free exchange anymore, since January of that year. So Ironically  Icloud or Hotmail would be my choices right now.
