Add to iTunes as an Audio Track only work for TTS voice Alex

I tried to select a whole document and right click "Add to iTunes as an Audio Track"
However I notice that if I chose a Voice that is not the default "Alex", (e.g a British English voice Daniel) the audio track does not read the whole document that I selected. I tried a few other voice it does the same, it stoped at some point at the document. When I choose System voice "Alex", it reads the whole document.
Also I am using a voice that is not Alex for my text to speech voice and it all work fine when I use "speech-start speaking"
Is this a bug or something?

HI christos,
Make sure to select the text you wish to convert into an itunes spoken track. and then after using the command check in itunes. to see if the track shows up.

  • How do I add a quicktime (10.0) audio track to imovie (8.0.6)?

    I would like to add a quicktime (10.0) audio track to imovie (8.0.6). The audio is in .mov format. When I go to import it, it is grey and will not allow me to click on it.  I tried to put it into itunes and select it from there but I can't figure out how.

    You might have more success converting it into an AIFF file.
    Try this: Download MPEG Streamclip, it's a free utility that allows you to do a lot of different conversions on audio and video clips. What we're going to to try is save an AIFF to 48kHz and re-import it into iMovie and see if there's a difference.
    Once you download MPEG Streamclip, open it and go to File Menu> Open Files... and navigate out to your AIFF file. Make sure the drop down list at the bottom of the window has All Files listed (instead of just Audio or just Video). If you don't show all files, it will gray out files it doesn't recognize. Once you have your audio clip selected, click Open.
    From the File Menu > Export Audio... choose AIFF and under Sample rate: choose 48kHz. Click OK
    Save the clip to the Desktop, maybe give it a different name (say #2 added to the end).  Quit MPEG Streamclip. In iMovie drag your new AIFF file to the project timeline.

  • Copying audio tracks only

    I have a clip that the associated sound needs to be doubled, it's pretty faint... I need to get a higher volume level than what is available on the clip.
    I'd like to try "doubling" that particular clips' audio, but can't seem to figure out a way to bring another copy of the audio.
    When I try using option-drag, it re-arranges everything in the timeline. I've tried locking certain areas down, but no avail.
    I tried bringing in the same clip (audio + video), and then deleting the video and using the audio, but it only brought in the video and not the audio... Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ed

    i purchased an album from itunes,2 of the tracks only partly downloaded.itunes have since sent me the tracks again but they wont sinc with my ipod,which still has the defective tracks on it.any help would be great.

    First, I would suggest that you try restoring your iPod (although it sounds like it might be a problem with your iTunes or the files themselves).
    For info on restoring and iPod, see this:
    Restoring iPod to factory settings
    Also, check out the possible solutions in this article, and see if it helps with your issue:

  • Quicktime file with corrected audio track not working with iWeb Gallery

    Hello Everyone,
    I shot a video and accidentally recorded on one audio track only (posted in another post). I've fixed the audio in Quicktime Pro by selecting the audio track (track 1) onto track 2 and hence I've got "fake" stereo or mono audio. The QuickTime file plays perfectly on my desktop. The audio is coming through both channels, as well.
    Now, my problem is that when I've tried to upload the file to my iLife '08 iWeb site, the audio is back to one channel again. The video plays beautifully, however. I even uploaded the QuickTime file to my iDisk and from there to my web gallery through iLife '06. Still, the audio is only coming through on one track.
    Hmm, is there a setting in QuickTime Pro that I might have missed after I "fixed" the audio? Like I said, the file plays perfectly on my desktop. I've even burned the file to DVD and it plays perfectly on my home DVD player. Somehow along the upload process the 2nd audio track is dropped. Any advice is very much appreciated.
    Frustrated in Texas,
    -Jack

    Hello QuickTimeKirk,
    Thanks for all of your advice and to the others who have chimed in with their input. My audio problem is solved. The problem with one of the audio tracks getting dropped once the QuickTime file was uploaded to my Web Gallery has been fixed. I had to re-export the original QuickTime File and somehow the tracks corrected themselves. I believe they were canceling themselves out the first time. Weird.
    Now, however, I see that I'm getting the blue Quicktime symbol when I open the URL. It takes about a minute (at least with my cable connection) for the poster frame to show up. I did flatten the file and have it set to play automatically. See what you get on your end: http://web.mac.com/honeybear7/Site/Movie.html if you don't mind. This is just a test page, so this is not the final presentation. The window size of the movie, however, is set.
    What is the best possible setting I can have the file set on for it to play the quickest? I know much of it is dependent on the connection speed. This also is not a small file. It's 214 Mb, but it's a 40 minute movie and looks okay on the web. Having burned it on DVD as a 2.9 gig file it, of course, looks much better with no blocking. I originally shot it with an HD Canon camera.
    Any more advice is greatly appreciated. Have a great weekend.

  • When streaming a movie with the new Apple TV, and using a DSL Internet connection, all audio sound works, e.g., the music track, but the audio track with the actor's voices, does not work. What can I do?

    Hi Brian,
    Thanks restoring and restarting didn't fix my problem - i have started it fresh and still it doesn't work. Basically I press ONCE on the remote, after the machine has not had any commands for 10 minutes, and the cursor skips from one end of the menu to the other - so I can't choose network or update software etc - I sometimes manage to stop it randomly in the middle of the menu if I press on a command in the middle of the cursor skipping all the menu steps...not sure what the problem is but I have basically not used my brand new apple tv since I bought it for that reason! I should call Apple support I suppose! grrrr hate wasting time with stuff like this!
    Thanks for your help though!

  • ITUNES ONLY WORKS FOR 5 MINUTES AT A TIME

    iTunes stopped working about a month ago, but then I fixed it using the msconfig solution. It worked for a while now I have the same problem, i can fix it, but then iTunes only works for about five minutes before closing. This is the only way I can fix it; first, by re-installing iTunes, then, doing the msconfig solution and restarting the computer. Then after about 5 minutes it closes. To open it again I have to go through the whole proccess. I cannot figure out how to permanently fix it.

    Sounds like you have some malware that is interfering with iTunes.
    What do you have to turn off in msconfig to get iTunes working?
    It's pretty involved to remove it. If you have purchased security software like Norton or McAfee, I suggest contacting them for help.
    Otherwise try this

  • No Audio Track is enabled for recording message

    I'm a beginner in Mac and would appreciate some help in sorting out a problem with Garageband podcasting on iLife '06.
    When I choose female voice and press the red RECORD button, I get this message: "No Audio Track is enabled for recording". I have done some tests in the past which were ok. Have I accidently changed the settings? I checked input and output devices (usb external mic and speaker headset is recognised and that voice and not instrument selection is made.
    Can anyone help me please. Thank you.

    To enable a track choose the track and click on the
    small button icon on the right just under the track
    name. The button will be red when enabled.
    I'm looking for such a button and don't see one. AFAICT the track name is "Male Basic." Near the track name I see three buttons: mute/unmute, solo, and show/hide volume curve. But that's it. To the right of that are the mixer controls, and no other obvious buttons that I can see. What does or should the button look like? And are we both referring to the same version of GB? I'm wondering if a later version of GB has the button, but version 1 doesn't?
    BTW I have looked through the docs (the At-A-Glance and the 3 tutorial PDFs) that came with the installation, and using Preview's Search function, can find no instance of the string "enabl" in any of the documents. Nor is it anywhere in Help.
    Thanks again...

  • There were some updates on my Apps.  I updated them on my iTunes but my iPad did not get the same downloads/updates thru iCloud.  Does the iCloud only works for "New" Apps or Books downloaded from the store but not the "Updates"?

    There were some updates on my Apps.  I updated them on my iTunes but my iPad did not get the same downloads/updates thru iCloud.  Does the iCloud only works for "New" Apps or Books downloaded from the store but not the "Updates"?

    Purchased music does not count against your iCloud storage and you cannot get rid of them in the purchased tab.
    What is backed up
    You get unlimited free storage for:
    Purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books
    Notes: Backup of purchased music is not available in all countries. Backups of purchased movies and TV shows are U.S. only. Previous purchases may not be restored if they are no longer in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.
    Some previously purchased movies may not be available in iTunes in the Cloud. These movies will indicate that they are not available in iTunes in the Cloud on their product details page in the iTunes Store. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBookstore.

  • Does iTunes in the cloud only work for purchased music?

    Hi,
    I was wondering, does iTunes in the Cloud only work for purchased music?
    Also, does the automatic wifi sync feature not sync everything that it would if you manually iniate the wifi sync? The reason I ask is because my iPhone is often connected to my charger, and then today I decided to perform a manual wifi sync and it had a lot of content to update, definitly way more than any changes I've made since I plugged it in to the charger last night.
    Thanks,
    Brandon

    Hi Brandon ...
    You can turn on Music, Apps,and Books by tapping Settings > Store
    Connecting your iPhone to a wall charger should not have any effect on sycning.

    - Go here and see if you can redownload the movies. If you can then delete the movie and redownlod it.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - Otherwise, contact iTunes and explain your problem. They should allow a free redownload.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
