Adding a song to iMovie duplicates itself

After I add the song to my iMovie, it starts to play and then a second later it starts again, therefore duplicating the song. How can I fix this.

It sounds like you are inserting the song twice, or possibly duplicating the music you've added to your project. If your method is to drag a song to the background area in your project (creating a green background), it may be better to use a different and more manageable method.
Drag and drop the song directly on top of a video clip (not to the background), approximately where you want it to start. Upon releasing the mouse button (or whatever you are using), a narrow horizontal green bar (ribbon) will appear beneath the video track, representing the audio track you have inserted. This track can be dragged anywhere within your project. If you wish to delete an inserted audio track, click on it so that it is enclosed in a yellow border, then press the delete key on the keyboard (alternatively, right-click on the track and select Delete Selection from the pop-up menu, or simply select Edit>Delete Selection from iMovie's menu bar).
Hopefully I haven't misunderstood what is happening with your audio. It's not something I've seen or heard about before.

Every time that I play a tune from my itunes the file duplicates itself into my 'MyDocuments' folder. If I delete this the song is erased from itunes totally. Ideas??

Everything worked fine for the last two years but now every time that I play a tune from my itunes the file duplicates itself into my 'MyDocuments' folder. If I delete this the song is erased from itunes totally. Ideas??

You are of course deleting the tunes from within the iTunes interface.
The settings that I am referring to are your device settings for the iPad. It should show in the left column of iTunes when your iPad is plugged in.
Go through your playlists and make sure that the tunes(s) are removed from any playlist. You can prevent the sync as noted above then do a sync and the iPad should update with the content from you Mac.

Added a song to a movie in imovie and lost all audio across all clips. Any help?

I added a song to a movie in imovie and lost all audio from several clips. Removed the song and audio is still gone. How can I regain original audio once lost after adding song to imovie?

The audio should still be there. Select a clip and open the Inspector to the Audio Tab and turn the volume up to 100%.

Added a Song...How do I fade the song in the middle of a video clip?

I have a 5 minute video of my daughters first birthday. I added a song, but I want to accomplish the following:
Start the song 15 seconds into the video (after we sing happy birthday)
Fade the Audio roughly 2 minutes into the video so that I can highlight my older daughters voice
In between all of this I want to detach the background noise/talking from the video so only the song is heard.
There are only a few clips of the video that I want the voices to be heard, other than that, I just want the song to be the only audio.
Help???

Yes, you can do this.
1) Drag the song and drop it on the video clip at the point (15 seconds) where you want it to start. You drop it on top of the video clip - not in the background.
2) You will want to isolate the clips where you want your daughter's voice to be heard. If they are already separate clips, this is easy. But if they are part of one long clip, you can select the frames that you want to isolate by dragging with your mouse. A yellow border should be around these frames. Then EDIT/SPLIT CLIP. Or right-click/Split Clip. (Note: It is important to do this in the Project, not in the Event)
3) Once you have Split the clip, you can open the audio inspector and turn the volume down on those video clips where you want the clips to be muted. Turn the audio down to zero. For those clips where you want your daughter's voice to be heard, select the clip. Go to the Audio tab of the inspector, and turn on Ducking. Ducking will diminish all other tracks by the percentage you specify.
4) [This Video Tutorial|http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies/imovie08.html#audioclips] is a good explanation of audio in iMovie. It is for iMovie 08, but most of it still apples in iMovie 09.

Adding multiple songs

I want to burn an iPhoto slideshow and use 4 songs. It seems that iDVD will only one song. Is there a workaround?

Good suggestion... Other options include bringing your still photos into iMovie and adding your songs there (can make nice fadeouts/ins). iDVD can do slideshows with 99 pictures or less. If you have an audio editing program, you can copy/paste your songs together, and import the "new" song into iTunes (so you fool iTunes into thinking it's only one song).
If you have Quicktime Pro ($30), you can Export/Share your iPhoto slideshow as a Quicktime movie, then use Quicktime to open each song you want to use, copy it, and Add to the iPhoto/Quicktime slideshow. Repeat this step until all the slideshow has audio. Roxio Toast ($80) also includes a nice slideshow function.

i am trying to purchase many songs at one time. i have added all songs to wish list , now to purchase it will only let me do one at a time please advise how i can purchase more than one at a time

There used to be a 'buy all' button on the wish list screen but for some reason that has been removed from the current version of iTunes so you will need to buy each item individually. You can try leaving feedback for Apple and maybe it'll be added back in a future update : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html

I am having a problem when I try to select a photo or itunes song in Imovie or other programs. I get a window with grey lettering that says: "Open Itunes to populate this list" or "Open iphoto to see photos from your iPhoto library in this list. I have tried relaunching programs and nothing appears. Seemed to start happening a while back after one of my system upgrades.

After a a lengthy conversation with Apple Tech. ($20), my problem seems to be solves. The Iphoto problem solved by trashing the plist file. The Itunes was more involved. We had to create a new Itunes folder and import the files into the new folder; and then import the playlists.

My phone every night keeps playing songs and stops by itself and Siri also keeps coming on without me even touching it everytime I watch a video. I don't know if my phone is hunted or because I just dropped it too many times. What should I do?

So everytime I watch a movie or listen to music when I use my earphones. A song keeps playing by itself and Siri activates by itself without me even touching it. So I deactivated Siri. And now it's the voice control that keeps coming on. I don't know if my phone is haunted, or there's something wrong with my earphones/earphone socket/jack (or whatever you call where you put it in the earphones), or is it just because I dropped my phone too many times. And I don't want to reset my phone if that's what I have to do. By the way I have an iPhone 4s

If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.

If I've downloaded my music to an itunes library from an external hard drive and I have several duplicate songs, is there an easy way to delete the duplicate songs? Or, do I have to go through my entire library song by song to delete duplicates?

I added some songs to my itunes but now my itunes won't play the songs - it says it can't locate the song although the Itunes match is turned on and it says all of my songs are in the cloud - anyone have any thoughts

Did you delete the hard copy of the songs from your computer after you uploaded them?
If so just highlight the said songs and delete but do not check the box that says delete from iCloud and your songs should play fine.
This happens when the original file is moved from the location that itunes was looking for it at and if you did this because you uploaded it then it will still be in the cloud you just need itunes to read from cloud and not think it's supposed to be finding the original file

How to only use a small clip of a song in imovie

how do I only use a small clip of a song in imovie?

there's two sorts of applying audio to an iMovie Project:
• as general 'background'
• or as 'clip'
have a look here:
I dragged the audio ONTO some existing video-clip in my Project => the new audio appears as a green bar - which indicates an audio-clip. Such an audio-clip you can shorten, cut, move, stack, copy/paste as any other clip in iMovie ...

I have my nano automatically updating only a few of my playlist on itunes. Today however, I encountered a problem, for some reason even though itunes shows that I have 743 MB free, I am unable to update my nano, even when just adding one song to the playlist. I am able to manual update though, anyone have a solution, I would love to be able to still use the itunes playlist.

same problems over here.... 4gb model, but won't add songs even though i have ~1.81gb free. what the heck?

PDF Forms: How to make an entry duplicate itself to fill a table?

Hello,
I am making price tags for a set of commodities. I know how to make pdf forms and want to use this. However, I want to achieve this: If I enter the name of commodity, price and other details once in a cell, it must automatically fill out the whole table with the same info so that I don't need to manually do the copy pasing.
Word, Excel, etc change the formatting but PDF won't. Thats the reason I want to create a table, and each cell in the table will be a price tag. So, I take a print out of the page and can easily have the commodity tags ready for each commodity.
Is this possible in Acrobat Professional? Like I said before, I have created pdf forms but this particular automatic duplicating of the entered data is something I dunno how to get. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hello George,
God bless you! You've made my work a lot easier! As soon as I changed the name of the fields to be the same, the data automatically duplicates itself!
Could you kindly guide me as to how I ensure that a particular row, column or all cells in a table have the same field name without actually having to click on each of them and rename the field? Is there some setting or menu to make it an easier/ automatic process after once getting an input from the user?
Thanks a ton again. If I need to post this question as a new one, I'm ready to do it too. Please do let me know.
Regards,
V
