Background hiss reappears when sharing to iTunes

Yikes! My whole question just disappeared when trying to update my profile; trying again.
Briefly, I am digitizing old audiotapes for our library's local history collection. All these interviews have considerable background hiss, some worse than others depending on the condition of the original tape. I looked around the net - including here - and found the Visual EQ. With this, I was able to get the hiss down to what seemed to me a reasonable level. But, when I shared the file to iTunes, the hiss came back, as loud and obnoxious as ever! Why is this happening, and what can I do to prevent it? It is my hope to make a Ken Burns-style movie of this audio, using photos and short film clips. But that will never work unless I can get rid of the hiss in iTunes.
My tools. A boom box and connecting cable; the library's Macbook 2Gz Intel Core 2 duo, running Maverikcs 10.9.5; Garageband 10; iTunes 11.4.
TIA for any light you can shed on this situation!
Mary

I still haven't solved the problem, but found something that helps a bit. In the older versions of Garageband, the program automatically exported an AIFF to iTunes. This new program doesn't. If you tell it to export in this format, the hum seems to be reduced - but it still does reappear. Can anyone help me get rid of it entirely? Thanks!

Where do photos go when shared to iTunes on iPhone on Windows? iTunes under Apps shows somethings been shared based on the size, but there is nothing in the iTunes photo section, and it says 0 photos???

I'm new to iPhoto, and I'm trying to figure out where sharing a photo to iTunes goes on the iPhone4 and/or Windows 8?
The Windows iTunes App section indicates something was shared and has an appropriate date and size, but the photo part says 0 photos, which makes it a little hard to delete.
Running the latest versions of iPhone, iPhoto, iTunes, and Windows.
Thx

Sharing to iTunes means the item is stored in the Individual app's file sharing area.
When your iPad is connected to your computer and selected look for the Apps tab. Select that then scroll down. First there will be a list of all your apps. Scroll down below that to find a list of your apps that support file sharing. Select iPhoto and you'll find the files you have shared to iTunes. Copy or drag them to your computer and move them where you want them.

Loss of volume when sharing to itunes

i'm trying to send a GB song to itunes but the volume is significantly lower when it gets there. thought it might be the compression with AAC or MP3 but when i sent it AIFF it is still muffled. the volume of this track is also lower than other GB tracks shared recently. GB is version 4.1.1, itunes 8, previous tracks i think were shared with the previous version of itunes. any thoughts?

i did try these things after looking at other threads when trying to raise the volume of previously shared tracks. but this track is still lower than tracks shared with sound enhancements and auto normalise on. the only thing i can think of is an itunes 8 glitch, this is the first track i've shared with the new version.

MISSING TRACKS WHEN SHARING TO ITUNES...

I just spent a long time creating a song on gband, then i "shared" (send the song to itunes)..when it showed up finished in itunes most of the tracks were not there.....and now most of the audio tracks in the garage band original piece are not there, although visibly they are. Strange. Any suggestions to get the audio tracks back...? thanks..

Your audio tracks are still on your hard drive i hope if not you can not recover your data unless you buy a data recovery program. Are your tracks real-time or software tracks? software tracks can be performed again that's the only solution.. In addition the audio waveforms "can" show up as "automation reflections" as i call it, or as alias files.

Duplicate video file created when shared through iTunes ...

Hi,
In iMovie, when I share my project through iTunes, I get a copy of a m4v file in my iTunes Media folder and in a new folder created by iMovie in my Video folder as well.
Why do I get 2 copies of the shared movie ?
Regards.

I am not sure why Apple does it this way. You can delete one of them.
If you set up iTunes to not automatically import new files, this will not happen, but that may be inconvenient if you import a lot of music.

Logic Pro X fading out audio when sharing to iTunes

When I try to share a track I've edited to iTunes, the output has an unwanted fade out effect during the last 10 seconds, leaving the last 2 seconds unaudible. Is there any way I can stop this fade out from happening? I've tried turning off automations in the track, but that didn't seem to work.

Check your settings in iTunes.... Preferences/playback tab
You probably have Crossfade enabled... Uncheck it.. along with the other features in that same page... This then makes iTubes playback audio files exactly as they were created and intended to be heard.. without any enhancements.
Finally make sure you do not have any external plugin enhancements for iTunes running....

I cannot Turn of Normalizing of the entire project when sharing to iTunes. . . Help

I have an amazing project, it sounds beautiful and yes, the bass is supposed to blow any speakers that are lame as ****. The song is so magic and Logic keeps cutting the volume on it when I share to iTunes and unlike garageband, I cannot seem to figure out how to stop this monstrosity. Anyone help out? Thank you in advanced.

Ahhh you opened you eyes and read the Bounce dialog?
Another thing you might want to check.
All of the Audio enhancement in iTunes shoud be Off, All of them.

Garageband crashes when sharing to iTunes

I've got a 302 MB file I'm trying to share to iTunes and GB crashes. Is the file too big and do I have to split it up? It's a 4.5 hr. lecture and I need to get it into format to post to a website.

Thanks for the advice, Hangtime, but it didn't solve the problem. The same thing happens even after I repaired permissions and trashed the Garageband prefs. I get the error message at the end of the transfer that says Garageband unexpectedly quit (although the program screen remains and is frozen, requiring a force quit). Any other suggestions?

Pictures (photos) distorted when shared to iTunes; DVD looks great

Hitting a very odd problem in iMovie 09.
I added a series of photos between clips of my movie. I adjusted the Ken Burns Effect for each. It plays back fine in iMovie. I exported it to iDVD and the resulting DVD looks fine. But if I export to QuickTime or Share to iTunes, the photos look distorted during playback...like the've been squished from Widescreen to Standard or something, and so of course the Ken Burns Effect is messed up.
Anyone else seen this, or have any ideas? Strange that it works fine in iMovie and on a DVD.

OK, I went back into iMovie, and suddenly the pics were messed up there as well - they must have gotten corrupted/resized at some point in the process. Adding a new picture (and then deleting it) seemed to re-size all of the existing pics, and everything is fine now. Can't explain how it happened, but it seems to be fixed. Sorry for the red herring.

When one or more family members who have been sharing one iTunes account wants to create their own iTunes account can they each upload the music/apps from the shared iTunes on their devices to the new iTunes account?

Yes. I would clarify your statement about the "shared" iTunes Library though. If you want each iOS device to have its own music library, you should create separate user accounts for them. Read:

Itunes slows down when sharing music is enabled

hi,
i searched through the forums and i didn't see that exact issue so i decided to post it.
as soon as i share my library itunes completely slows down.
- starting to play songs takes 5 seconds and displays the rotating rainbow circle
- rating songs takes 5 seconds also and displays the rotating rainbow circle
- resuming play after pausing also
there are two more interesting issues:
- i have a few albums where it doesn't happen! the albums aren't encoded different, have the same version of tags, are on the same drive in an adjacent folder. i tried reimporting songs, placing it into different folders or harddrives. no changes.
- only 2% of my library is shared and it seems like most of it is recently added music. but: no differences in encoding, tags, place on the harddrive. renaming, readding, moving the files didn't change the situation.
i also disabled automatic updating of playlists, deleted all my playlist folders, reinstalled itunes, tried basically everything.
what does itunes do in the network when playing, rating songs, ...? i'm using a fast wlan, but i don't think that's the issue or does itunes reexport the xml-file after every play? has it something to do with auto-update-play-counts after every song (which i couldn' find in the preferences)?
any help would be greatly appreciated!
regards,
eric.
by the way: i'd loooooove to see pandora-like functionality in the next major versin of itunes!!! :)))

When you are sharing your iTunes, any other users you share with are accessing your hard drive and music foilder simultaneously with you. Since shared users are not playing exactly the same song at the same time as you, your hard drive's heads are scanning and reading from more points than they would be with you alone listening. There is a need to cache some part of the files for sharing, and that uses a bit of your RAM too. I guess it would be similar to saying that your car drives fine as long as you are driving it alone. Pile a few friends in with you, tow their cars behind yours, and suddenly, your car has nowhere near the performance it did with just you in it. Aside from adding more RAM, buying a fatser hard drive or stepping up your processor, this is simply an issue with sharing one system between more than one user at the same time, and it can't be remedied.

Hello there - how can I share my iTunes library between two users on the same computer? I put the library in a shared folder between both and have selected this library on both as well, but when I update iTunes with music etc it only appears on one?

Thank you Joe - I tried this but it's only showing a teensy amount of music - the stuff on the second users account as opposed to the giagntic library on the 'main' account. I actually went to a Genius Bar and they said that apple doesn't really want you to share music between accounts - parents don't want to hear their kids music etc. Which seemed strange, but it might be the case sadly Thanks anyway!

My wife and I have shared one iTunes account for 6 years. We want to create our own Apple IDs, so when we sync to our new iMac we won't see each others contacts, photos, calendar, music, etc. Is there a way to move music/apps from one ID to a new ID?

No.
One of you create a new AppleID and one use the existing AppleID.
But you can still use the items in each iTunes library.
Create separate computer logins for each of you.
This will give you each your own data. Contacts, calendars, photos, etc. (and your own iTunes library).
