30 minutes of music 300 Mega Bytes?
Hi...I just recorded 30 minutes of music from my keyboard in Garage Band and I was really surprised to see the file 300 Mega Bytes...According to my calculations it should not be any bigger than 30 MB. And then when I wanted to listen to it in Garage Band I kept on getting messages that " Part of the song can not be played....", I guess because it is such a big file and the song would not play properly...Does anyone have an idea? Thanks...
I am talking about the GB file itself
Than, as posted, the size is about right (inside the GB file is an AIFF file, so the 10MB/Min applies)
So should I use a MIDI controller/interface of some sort?
Only if you want to record MIDI.
I can compress the file in the "Save As" option but from what I have read it will alter the quality
Correct.

When i put my iPhone in the logitech dock and i start the music it stops at exactly 1 Minute. What's the problem? I cleaned the contacts, the same happened again. always after 1 minute the music pauses!
It is a known issue and un-conventional remedy.
It is Hardware failure. I would get the iPhone changed for a good one. -
My new nano keeps going into sleep mode every copy of minutes while music is playing. I can't figure out how to stop this. The user guide isn't too helpful. Any ideas?
This is usually a sign that your iPod's headphones are not plugged in all the way. Make sure that you cannot see any of the silver still showing from the headphone's plug. You should hear a sort of popping/clicking noise when inserting the headphones letting you know that they have been fully seated.

Hi
I wanted to monitor the Total User IO on the database. I mean total Mega Bytes of data written to or read from the database from a particular client.
Please give some pointer if i can achieve this.
thank youHi,
You can use AWR for this purpose, only if you are on Oracle 10g or 11g

Static, Electronic Noise then No Output for 2 or 3 Minutes, Then Music/Sound
LStatic, Electronic Noise then No Output for 2 or 3 Minutes, Then Music/Sound? Hi,
I'm not sure how to really explain this problem; but, I'll give it a shot.
I have a Gateway FX530 system with a Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Extreme Gamer PCI card installed.
Please note that the problem that I am describing has happened through the life of the computer (2-/2 years).
The problem is that I hear static through both of the powered speakers, followed within seconds by electonic beeping of various tones followed by silence. During this silence no sound/music will play through the sound card/speakers.
If I let the system sit for several minutes the sound returns and I can hear music/audio.
(This problem never happens when I am playing music or other audio, it is always when the system is idle with nothing apparently being processed by the sound card.)
I suspect it is something hardware-related with the sound card; but, before I replace the card I wanted to see if anyone else has similar problems.
Any input will be appreciated. (I have tried replacing drivers in the past with no success.)
Thanks
JeffWell, I thought it was solved but that App makes my sound lock up about once a day requiring a restart.
There must be a solution to this as I've seen loads of posts on the same subject, mostly relating to MacBooks.
What is clearly happening is that the audio is going to sleep after a period, and when it's waking, the first second or so of the sound gets missed. Now, when that is system sounds, they get missed completely!
Oh, I should say I've tried KeepSoundAwake as well.

I just bought my wife an iPod nano. Went through the set up and then updated the iPod through iTunes. Now, after about a minute of music (with two different sets of headphones) it simply shuts off. As if it's in power convseration mode. But I can't find a setting to prevent this. Very frustrating for having JUST bought this.
If you have not already, do a Reset following this procedure.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1320
A Reset just restarts the iPod. It is not erased.
If that does not help, the most likely fix for your problem would be a Restore. This WILL erase the iPod, re-install its softare, and set it to default settings. To do it, select the iPod in the iTune sidebar, under DEVICES. Over to the right, go to the Summary tab. The button for doing a Restore is there.
For anything that is currently on your computer (such as songs and pictures) that were synced to the iPod, you can just re-sync them. That should not take too long, even if you do it manually (without using automatic syncing).
For anything that is only on the iPod (not on your computer), they will be lost if you do a Restore. But that was a known risk. After all, your iPod could be lost or stolen (or seriously damaged), and those items would be lost.
If those items are songs you purchased from the iTunes Store, you can re-download them (at no cost) on the iTunes Store Purchased screen.
or even be recognized by my computer when it is like this. It just sits there.
If you are having a problem getting the iPod to be recognized by iTunes, which is necessary to do a Restore, try this... Set the iPod to Disk Mode.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363
Then, see if iTunes will recognize it when connected. Also, if it is recognized more reliably in Disk Mode, before doing a Restore, you can try using a third-party method or utility to transfer song files off the iPod to your computer. If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links. -

Big Blunder with movies in iPhoto '08 and web galleries
I've just upgraded to iLife '08 and found a REALLY BIG BLUNDER in the use of movies with iPhoto and the web gallery. As it is, the new 10GB limit won't be enough for diddly squat of movie hosting.
I've got a Canon A640 that saves to .JPG and .AVI formats. iPhoto opens a gallery with them just fine.
But .AVI movies take up ~50MB per minute of video. A 2 minute movie I made is about 100 MB, while a 9 minute movie is 550MB in size. So while it's fine to view them on your desktop, you do NOT want to upload them!
However, iPhoto has no ability to convert .AVIs to any other formats.
I went into iMovie and manually selected each .AVI clip and Exported it as "medium" to my local drive. Ok, this gets you a .m4v file that's much more workable.
Going back to iPhoto ... uh, gee, "iPhoto cannot recognize that file format".
The new iMovie can export exactly ONE format -- .m4v -- and iPhoto thinks it's an iTunes file and won't work with it. Thanks a lot guys. What movie format IS iPhoto expecting to use, exactly?
I went over to the Apple store and presented my dilemma to one of the geniuses there, and the ONLY solution he could recommend was to get a license for Quicktime Pro and use it to do the conversion to .MP4. But, even then, iPhoto won't recognize .MP4 files in your folder. You have to explicitly import them. Again, iPhoto seems to like movies, but ... in what formats?
As an aside, MP4 files are smaller than M4V files, but the additional compression takes quite a toll on the image quality.
I filled up two 4GB SD chips with a couple dozen photos and several movies. The way iPhoto works right now, the only way to get these movies onto a .Mac gallery is to upload them directly, which is NOT a good idea! They take up an ENORMOUS amount of disk space, take FOREVER to upload, and I doubt users will find it very fun waiting for a 500MB download to view them (which download will take longer than the length of the video being viewed).
iPhoto needs a way to recognize .AVI files and STRONGLY discourage you from uploading them -- offering instead to convert them to something more useful, like .M4V format, WITHOUT having to swith over to iMovie or use Quicktime or some other program to do the conversion.
It also needs a way to tell it to handle other movie file format besides .AVI files.
Thanks
-DavidErrrr.... you guys are totally missing the point.
Apple sells little Canon cameras, and they have them sitting right next to just about every Mac in the store. Ever noticed them? Maybe you own one? (I suspect not because you probably would have noticed this already if you did.)
These Canon cameras take two types of images: stills are .JPGs and movies are .AVIs. Got that?
JPGs are compressed and "ready to use".
AVIs are UN-compressed and NOT "ready to use". You can play them locally and they look fine. But there's not much to tell you they're HUGE FILES. When I say "huge", I'm taling 50 MEGA-BYTES PER MINUTE huge. That means a measley 2 minute clip is 100 MEGA-BYTES in size. OK? Now, what's the download rate on your iPhone? How long will it take you to view a 2-minute AVI file? But, surely, nobody is dumb enough to load them onto their Web Gallery, right? Keep on reading.
See, when you connect the camera to the computer, most people have their system set to open something like iPhoto or Aperture when the camera is connected. Agreed? (Maybe YOU don't, but LOTS of people DO.)
Notice that you can choose to have iMovie or Final Cut Pro or something else launch when you plug the camera in as well. It's up to you. Most people launch iPhoto - or Aperture if they've got it.
It so happens that iPhoto '08 loads in in BOTH sets of files. Why in the world iPhoto is happy reading in AVI files is beyond me, considering it won't recognize M4V files and has to be slapped to get it to take MP4 files. But it happily reads AVI files with no problem.
Now, if you've got your iPhoto set to AUTOMATICALLY SYNCHRONIZE with your WEB GALLERY, what happens?
Well, if you're like me and you filled two 4-GIGA-BYTE Flash cards with movies, and iPhoto launches (like when you plug the camera or flash memory into the computer) and starts to SYNCHRONIZE with your WEB GALLERY, what's gonna happen?
Did you actually TELL it to upload those files? NOPE! But it DID!
Several HOURS LATER your computer will finish UPLOADING 8 GIGA-BYTES of MOVIES to your WEB GALLERY! And if you interrupt it, well, it'll happily start over when you turn the computer back on again.
That's really nice since .Mac now has a 10 GByte limit. Two and a half 4-GB flash cards will fill up your .Mac account if you shoot movies with your Canon camera, have iPhoto set to launch when you attach your camera, and/or have it set to automatically synchronize with your web gallery.
All I'm saying is that if iPhoto is going to work with movie files, it should NOT blindly upload AVI files, NO WAY. I'd much prefer it if it would let you apply some kind of compression to them, eg., turn them into MP2 files. (MOV files are even bigger than AVI files, from what I can tell.)
We're not talking about what you THINK about doing. We're talking about the DEFAULT BEHAVIOR of the program for a VERY COMMON SCENARIO -- that you don't HAVE to think about.
So it's very possible that while you're happily editing your AVI movies in iMovie or Final Cut, iPhoto is happily sitting in the background uploading the same files to your Web Gallery. And you are clueless.
Is that making sense now? -
Using Mail online when attaching a photo there does not seem to be a way of choosing the size
small, medium, large etc
Is that right?No most jpeg file you save will be much smaller then 10MBytes. The exception would be if you stitch a lot of images together and create giant giga Pixel images. Your image is only 10Mega Pixel. Using a high quality jpeg setting like 10 will produce a file size well under 10Meda Bytes. Jpeg uses data compression. Look at my files I shoot with a Cannon 1d mark 4, Its a 16Mega Pixel camera. I shoot RAW and my RAW file sizes are in a range of 30MB down to 18MB cannon uses a loss less compression in its RAW files. When I process these raw files in Photoshop the PSD files I save range from 500Mega Bytes to 30 Meg bytes in Size. PSD files are Layered files Jpeg does nor support layers so If I open one of me 300 Meg Byte PSD file the Image is still a 16 Megs Pixel image. When I save a Jpeg image from the document Photoshop is editing from my 300 Meg Byte PSD File at quality 10. The largest Jpeg file I see for not stitched images are smaller the 7Mega Bytes. When you save Jpeg images they should all be smaller then 10Mega Bytes unless you interpolate you images why up in Pixel size. I have had an image printed on canvas for me. The Canvas size was something like 6' by 8'. When image are printed that large they do not need to be printed at a 300doi resolution. I interpolated my image up in size to print at 100DPI 6x12x100=7200 Pixels by 8x12x12=9600 that made the image pixel size 7200x9600=69,120,000pixels. Near 70Mega Pixel. I just open a new document that size rendered clouds sharpened and save a jpeg image quality 10 is save at 7.5MB in size.

Having trouble with Nano shuffle while traveling. It's connected to my vehicle stereo and set to shuffle. When I stop the vehicle for more than a few minutes, the music resumes with the same song it always starts with. How can I get it to keep shuffling after restarting the vehicle?
Is the iPod actually doing the music playing? If the iPod is connected using a USB port (on the car audio system) and docking cable, the car audio system is doing music playing. The iPod is just acting as a storage device (like a USB flash drive) with song files. So, in that setup, it does not matter whether the iPod is set to shuffle or not, because the car audio system is playing the songs. Any change to how it plays songs would have to be a setting on the car audio system.

I use my Ipad to film my clients and need to send copies to my clients. I am having trouble sending them. When I press share, it only gives me options of sending them as a Message airdrop or Icloud. When I press Icloud nothing happens. The videos are usually 5minutes to maybe 20 minutes. I need to send them insome kind of a compressed manner so it iseasy for my clients to open and watch. Thanks
Have you thought about uploading them to youtube? You can put things there up to 8 minutes long, and up to 15 if you get verified. You can also have them 'unlisted' which means they're not visible to anyone without the link.
I think your issue isn't as much that the videos are too long, it's that the file size is too big. I have a 3 minute video that I shot with my iPod that's 300 megs, and most mail programs max out at 25 megs.
There may also be options with vimeo or other video sharing programs that you can explore. -
What are the Bit Rates of the Music Store and Podcasts?
What is the bit rate quality and format of a song downloaded in the Music Store? And podcasts? Are they perfect, Apple Lossless quality or what...?
This might be true, but you won't experience any improvement in sound quality. Here's some info on bit rates:
This was originally posted by the incredible Sparky the wUnderdog
"As a general principle, you can fit more CDs on your iPod if you encode at lower bitrates (making smaller files), but at the cost of audio quality. Lossless promises to capture all the data on the original CD (thus preserving quality) but coded so the file takes half the space. MP3 and AAC (an implementation of variable bit rate MP4) both eliminate some of the information on the CD in order to compress the digital recording into ever smaller files--the lower the bitrate, the smaller the file, but smaller files mean more information lost and consequent poorer sound quality.
iTunes's MP3 encoder is so-so; the LAME encoder is better at preserving sound fidelity to the original. AAC files ripped in iTunes certainly sound better than its MP3s, with audio quality close to the best LAME MP3s at higher bitrates. With the type of music I listen to most often, sound quality declines substantially as bitrates fall below 256kbps, but LAME or AAC @ 256kbps sounds pretty darned good, and at 320kbps LAME alt-preset-insane is amazingly faithful to the original. However many users claim that with the music they listen to they can't hear the difference between 192 or even 128 kbps files and the original CD source, so they naturally choose higher compression rates to fit more "songs" on their iPods.
CDs take approximately 10MB per minute of music; Apple lossless takes 5MB/minute; LAME insane takes 2.5MB/min; AAC or MP3 at 256kbps take 2MB/min; and iTunes Store files (AAC@128kbps) take 1MB/min. At these rates, a 20GB iPod (really 18.6GB) can hold anywhere from 30 hours to over 300 hours of music. (iPod marketers express this potential playback capacity as "songs," figuring 4 minutes per song--thus 300 hours at 128kbps = 4500 "songs.") You will need to listen to samples ripped with different bitrates and codecs to determine the optimum tradeoff point for you between quality & quantity. It's worth taking some time to do this at the start as it sure beats reripping everything in your collection 2 or 3 times to get it right later.
So far as convenience goes, nothing beats iTunes's one-step process. To change bitrate as you import from CD, go to the iTunes menu > Edit > Preferences, select the Importing tab, choose AAC or MP3 encoder in the "import using" selection box, then choose "Custom" in the "setting" box, and the window permitting bitrate selection will pop up. If you choose iTunes MP3 encoder, at least use VBR (variable bit rate) to maximize the sound quality. (VBR increases sample size as data complexity increases.)
If you would prefer LAME MP3s, fear not, for the easy-to-use CDex ripping software is a free download and requires only one simple extra step to get the files into iTunes for transfer to your iPod. Now if AAC sound quality is comparable to LAME MP3, you might wonder why you should even consider LAME: Because of portability to other devices. At present, hardly anything but iPods can read AACs or Apple Lossless, but almost everything reads MP3s. So if you plan to burn CDs of your compressed files for playback on your home or car CD player (for instance), it would be wise to choose MP3.
One other consideration specific to the iPod: It has a 32MB cache. If you choose a compression rate that results in large files (i.e. lossless), then the cache won't hold very much 'music' and the hard drive will have to spin up frequently to fill it, and that will shorten your battery life somewhat."

How to get a 74 min. audio into 700 megs?
I'm setting up a piece to market through outfits like CreateSpace. It is a 74 minute piece of music designed to put people to sleep. It seems to work well at 74 minutes, hundreds have tried it over the years, and swear by ... so I'm going to try and market it. And I don't feel like cutting it down to the 66 minutes that will fit into 700 megs. I'm worried that whatever is working in it, may not work as a shorter piece.
CreateSpace says they can handle a 78 minute piece of music, but the megawattage limit is 700 megs.
If I put the 74 minutes out as an AIFF 44k/16bit it comes to 783 megs. I've asked CreateSpace how they get 74 minutes into a 700 meg file when they request that it be an AIFF/44k/16bit. I haven't heard back from them.
I'm wondering if any Logic pros out there would have an idea, if and how this might be accomplished (without sacrificing too much quality of course).
All ears,
BenA little reading of the manual. A bit of poking around. I'm now burning a Red Book Audio. We'll see if it ends up fitting onto ... mmmm .... looks like it is working.
Okay, just burned a CD using the CDDA of Logic. Odd. The title Logic (or iTunes?) has assigned to the CD is 'MP3's Up Your ***". The title of the actual file is '1 MP3.aiff'. Neither of which have anything to do with what I burned.
I'm pulling the .AIFF file off the CD disk onto my desktop and it is telling me the file is 782.1 MB, which is 82.1 MB more than CreateSpace says it will allow.
So I get that it will now burn to a CD. Cool. So I guess I have to get onto CreateSpace and find out whether they can accept it or not.
Much obliged for your help Jazzmaniac,
Ben
