Audio from itunes doesn't play well in imovie HD 6

I have quicktime 7.1 and imovie HD 6 and my audio from itunes plays only for a few seconds and goes out and doesn't play anymore throughout the movie. I'm only using photos and no transitions at the moment. It worked completely fine before upgrading to ilife 06. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Hello Tia,
iMovie has quite an issue with Music Store files. See Karl Petersens post: Stutter in iMovie 5 & 6 — causes and workarounds
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=534252&tstart=0
What you are looking for is workaround No. 5: Burn iTunes Songs to Audio CD
Generally it is recommended to work with AIFF files in iMovie/iDVD. To convert your iTunes music go to Preferences > Importing and choose AIFF Encoder from the drop-down menu. Now all music will be imported as AIFF. In addition to that you can ctrl-click existing files and choose "Convert to AIFF" from the pop-up menu.
Note that this will duplicate the files, so after conversion you'll have for example one m4p and one AIFF with the same name.
hope this helps

  • My burned audio CD/DVD from iTunes doesn't play on a CD/DVD audio player

    If I burn audio CD or DVD from my iTunes, I cannot play this music on an external player. Any recommendations? Thanks

    Hi I just burned an MP3 CD straight from iTunes, and it doesn't play on any MP3 CD player I've tried it on (car MP3 deck, DVD player that plays audio CDs, and MP3s). Audio CDs burned from iTunes work fine though.
    I've read somewhere, that when burning MP3 CDs from iTunes, iTunes burns it with Apples standard format, rather than CD players standard format of ISO 9660. And that is the reason why burned MP3 CDs from iTunes only plays on a Mac.
    A work around I've done was select all the songs from my list duplicate them in another folder, and then reconvert them in MP3s (so that I don't have to search all over the place for each MP3 file). I then burned these MP3s onto a CD-R using toast's MP3 CD format. And it works on all my MP3 CD players. However, in doing this process, I've lost all the tags for each MP3. The only thing that comes up in the display is the name of the song. Artist, Album, etc... don't show up anymore.
    Is there a way of burning an MP3 CD that will play on all MP3 enabled players, while keeping all ID Tags intact, in iTunes?
    Thanks.

  • Song from iTunes doesn't play in full

    Recently downloaded an album from iTunes but track 1 of said album doesn't play in full.  I've downloaded the album as well as the track in question; nothing changed.  Anyone else have this problem?  If so how did you solve it?

    Delete and redownload it if doing so is free in your country. If it isn’t free or doesn’t resolve the issue, click here and contact Apple.

  • Importing audio from iTunes doesn't work

    GarageBand won't let me import audio files (unprotected) from the media browser. When I try to drag a file into the GarageBand window, it simply snaps back.
    When I right-click on the file and select "Show in Finder" it tells me, the file can't be found.
    When I go to the same file in iTunes and select "Show in Finder" iTunes has no problem shown me the file.
    Dragging the file to the desktop from iTunes and to GarageBand from there works.
    ???

    I had the same issue recently.
    I found a workaround which resolved in my case, which was to drag the (DRM protected) file from iTunes to my desktop and THEN to GB.

  • My music from itunes doesn't play on my new iPhone

    i have recently upgraded my iPhone from the 4 to the 4s, i have transferred everything from my old phone to my new one without any problems but when i go to play some music which i bought off iTunes it is not playing, and if it is an album it will skip through all the songs and not play one, this has only happened with 3 or 4 albums does anyone know how i can get it playing again or will i have to buy it all again

    For difficulties transferring iTunes purchases, see this.
    iPod does not play content purchased from the iTMS.
    If you have made sure that both the iTunes and iPod software are current and have deauthorized and reauthorized your computer, try this test:
    1. Deauthorize the computer.
    2. Create a new user in the system.
    3. Download the free song of the week from the iTMS in the new user account.
    4. Play the song in that user account to authorize again.
    5. Restore the iPod (using the iPod updater) in the new user account.
    6. Sync just the free song of the week and see if it plays on the iPod.
    If it does, you appear to have a corrupted iTunes library file, and you should recreate the iTunes library file in your normal user account, and then sync your music back to the iPod and all should be well.
    The following articles will help you.
    Authorization and Deauthorization.

  • CD burnt from iTunes doesn't play on my stereo - help???

    I can play the CD that I burned on my laptop but it won't play on my stereo. Is there a step I'm missing? I did notice that the songs "type of file" is listed as MPEG-3. Do I need to convert the files on the CD so I can play them on my stereo?

    " I did notice that the songs "type of file" is
    listed as MPEG-3."
    Most likely there's your problem. As the previous
    poster noted, you look like you burnt the cd as an
    mp3 cd and not an audio cd. mp3 cds don't play on
    regular cd players unless it's one of the newer cd
    players specifically with this capability.
    The burning settings referred to are under
    edit/preferences/advanced/burning.
    Make the sure the disc format selected is audio cd.
    THANK YOU!!! That solved my problem! I asked a several people including some IT guys I know and known of them knew how to fix it.

  • Air play gives audio from itunes (sometimes) but not browser

    Apple TV used to work fine from all devices on all apps/browsers.  Now I get video but not audio from my Firefox browser via Air Play & if the settings are just right then I can get audio from iTunes ONLY.  HELP!

    UPDATE:
    Well, the nice folks at AJA were kind enough to send another card out.
    It just arrived today. I swapped it out with the older card, and then -  - - - - the problems still persist.
    The computer revved up into turbo mode, and there are still a few glitchy things happening with some basic functions in OSX. (I even did a re-install before putting the new card in).
    Checked / updated the firmware / etc.
    Starting to think this is a MAC issue, but dont' know how to proceed.
    Thanks so much for the help already, but I'd sure love to see this problem resolved once and for all somehow...
    Ideas?

  • Itunes doesn't play songs, help me please

    hi guys, i'm an italian boy. my itunes doesn't play any songs that i have; when i click on one song the little blue loudspeaker appears but the song doesn't start. this problem began to exist when i downloaded the latest version of itunes (6.0.5, i think) so i have decided to unistall the latest version and to re-install the old 4.0 version, but the problem persist. maybe i've unistalled some of the pc's programs that were necessary to make itunes operative, but i don't remember which. please help me!!! contact me at [email protected], and sorry for my english...:-)

    the same thing is happening to me as well since I upgraded to the latest version of iTunes. My sound beeps now in everything, from email notifications, to music. But iTunes won't play any songs that I select. Hope to get some feedback.

    There is no resolution needed, as this is not a problem.
    I am saying not the device, but the Apple ID is what needs to be the same, unless the movie is rented.
    If the movie is rented, it can only reside on one device at a time.  But from your error message above, I don't think that is your situation.
    Your error message suggests a different Apple ID purchased the movie.  If you want to see it, you must use your computer's iTunes, go to Store > Authorize This Account in the iTunes menu on your computer, and have that purchaser sign in with their Apple ID and password, then sync your iPad to that computer.

  • When I upload audio from itunes into my imovie project, it does not show all of the track?

    Hi, I have opened a new project in imovie - I have uploaded 200 photos into the project to make a Comic Book movie!
    this project is 7 mins and 8 seconds long - the exact length of the audio track that I want to play during the movie!
    I have selected the music by clicking the musical note button in imovie, which open up my itunes library and displays the track I want to use that is 7 mins and 8 seconds long.
    When I click and drag my MP3 audio from itunes into my imovie project, i only plays the first 5 mins & 33 seconds; leaving my project in silence for the final 1 min & 3 seconds????
    I have not added markers, there are no fade ins or fade outs - only the first 5 min & 33 seconds or a 7 min & 8 seconds MP3 Audio track???
    I have spent 10 hours trying to rectify this problem.......
    can anyone help me with this problem

  • ITunes doesn't play music after sleeping mode.

    iTunes doesn't play music. I try to start any song by remote app in iPhone from sleeping mode of mac mini.
    I can see all my music library, choose any artist and any albom.
    But when I try to start the music nothing is happen.
    The button Play/pause doesn't work and the play-bar is not moving.
    This issue have appeared after upgrade to iTunes 11 and new remote app.
    After reboot iTunes everything is ok, but in a sleep mode I have the same problem.
    Please help!

    okay. i solved the problem. After reading a few other posts on related topics, it appears that using either the Setup Assistant(instead of the Airport Admin program) or if you are using the new version called 'Airport Utility' to use the option to 'Assist Me'. After going through the setup in this way it worked!

  • Songs Purchased from iTunes Won't Play on iPod

    I purchased some songs from iTunes. They play perfectly fine on my computer through iTunes. However, when I disconnect my iPod from my computer and try to listen to those songs with my headphones or in my car through my iTrip, my iPod just skips over those songs and goes to the next song in the shuffle. Or when I try to play the whole album, it'll show 1, then 2, then 3, and so on...it skips through the whole album then ends up at the main screen without playing a single song. I've tried deauthorizing/reauthorizing my computer, I've restored my iPod many times, I've cleared my library and restored it with my backup files, I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, I tried using an old updater to get the previous iPod software, but that doesn't play vidoes, and I've done all of the above on three different USB ports.
    I've called Tech Support many times and they keep telling me the same thing and nothing works.
    So, I finally made my way into traffic-congested Tysons Corner to the nearest Apple Store and all the guy could tell me was that the file was corrupted and to re-download my purchases. So, I go back home, get on iTunes, search for my purchases and I'm told that my purchases can only be downloaded once.
    OMG! Someone help! Is there anyone out there having the same problem!??!?!
    Dell Dimension 4550   Windows XP  

    Enable the iPod for disk use. See How to enable disk use.
    Go to "my computer" and from the tools menu/folder options/view tab, enable "show hidden files and folders" in the advanced settings pane. Open the iPod in "my computer". Look for a file called "iEKinfo". Is it there? If so, make a copy of this file and save it somewhere easy to find (the desktop for instance). Do this also with the "iTunes DB" file. Don't worry if you can't see these files.
    Create a new administrator account. Log out of the current account and log in to the new one. Then restore the iPod to factory settings.
    Open iTunes, connect the iPod and set the transfer preferences to manual transfer. Then download the free single of the week from the iTunes Music Store. Verify that song plays in iTunes.
    Now, drag this song only to the iPod, and eject the iPod from iTunes and disconnect it from the computer.
    Does the song play on the iPod ok? If so, log out of the new user account and log back in to your normal one (the one you have issues with) and reconnect the iPod to the computer. Keep manual transfer selected for the moment. Drag some of the older purchased music (the ones that wouldn't play before) to the iPod.
    Eject the iPod and disconnect it. Do those songs now play ok?
    If not, first try this step.
    Delete the SC Info.sidb file. Open iTunes again.
    Now transfer some of the affected music to the iPod again. Does it play ok?

  • Video clips in iPhone 4s doesn't play well

    Recently the video clips including video camera and any clips in Facebook in my iPhone 4s doesn't play well. Has anyone experienced this before? Any ideas to solve it?

    Basics from the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.  If you've tried ALL of those steps and you're still having problems, you'll need to bring your phone into Apple for evaluation.
