Can Garageband NOT select all regions on a track when I select the track???

I'm recording audio on 2 tracks. When I switch from one track to the other, it doesn't look like anything's selected because all the other regions are off the screen to the right. If I record a quick region and then delete it, EVERYTHING ON THAT TRACK GETS DELETED because it's automatically selected.
So ... where is the setting in Garageband that lets you select a track without selecting all the regions on it?

When you select a track, it automatically selects all of the regions in the track, which I think is silly.
Only, you cannot avoid it. It is built in. So deselect the regions afterwards by clicking some empty space in the track.
Write feedback to Apple with a feature request, that you want it changed:

  • Why can I not select the transparency flattener preset option when exporting to a pdf?

    Hi all,
    I have not had to use this option in quite a while so may have forgotten a few things.
    In InDesign, under Edit>Transparency Flattener Presets, I have created a new preset and included the option of converting all text to outlines.
    However, when I try to export to a PDF, the option to select a transparency flattener preset is greyed out.
    Can you tell me what I may be doing wrong? This is driving me crazy!:(
    (There was originally no transparency in the file, so I created some with a white square set to 0.5% opacity).
    Thanks in advance for your help!
    Best regards,
    Christine

    DesignerDave72,
    Thank you SO MUCH!!
    I have been battling with this for over an hour...and it was frustrating me no end. 1 minute into reading the article you suggested and I was home free!! THANK YOU...!! You're my hero!

  • Why can I not select the 3d rotation tool? HELP!

    I have my object converted to a symbol and I have "created a motion tween" but the 3d rotation tool is greyed out and I cannot use it. Help!

    3D rotation tool is not available in Flash CC 'Canvas' document. Try creating a new file (Flash ActionScript 3.0) and creating movieclip in it.

  • Concerning Epson Printer 4880: after changing the Ink from Photo Black to Matte Black I'm not getting the Epson Software in Photoshop and Lightroom. I can not select the paper medium, I don't see my profiles. What is wrong?

    Concerning Epson Printer 4880: after changing the Ink from Photo Black to Matte Black I'm not getting the Epson Software in Photoshop and Lightroom. I can not select the paper medium, I don't see my profiles. What is wrong?

    That is priceless!!!  Thanks!  I sure needed a good laugh after spending/wasting hours & days trying to either get my c6280 to give up on its Ink System Failure fixation, or find a decent replacement.  Unfortunately I need the Smart Web Printing feature that I guess only HP has, or I'd try a different brand. And now even HP has very few models with that available.
     My error msg is a little different from those previously stated, but close:  0xc18a0201.  Even tho there were frustrations with my c6280, I did like several of its unique features which are hard to find now under $100.  I hate how HP (& I suppose other brands also) are CONSTANTLY changing models & then of course ink cartridges.
    Oh heavens, I've had the c6280 a whopping 2 1/2 years!   I'm sure they want us poor slobs to have to buy a new one every year & a day!  To say nothing of the exorbitant prices for ink.  And now if this one is really dead in the water, I have SIX unused #02 ink cartridges which I cannot return---I got them in a combo pack, & for some reason have wound up with THREE lite pink & THREE lite blue cartridges, while having to buy extras of the other colors, that ran out before the others!!!   Yeah, & what's with that not being able to print in BLACK if a color runs out????
    Anyway I really loved your essay!   It's a classic!  And says it all!  I hate that we have to be 'slaves' to the electronic 'wonders'!!!

  • Why is select calendar and address book greyed out? Why can we not select these options?

    Why can we not select address books or calendars? Why is this option greyed out in ITunes 12?

    You have to make the selection active.
    Go to Select>all, then Select>modify>border.
    Another way is to use a stroke:
    Open your picture file
    Go to Select>all
    Open a blank layer above this
    Go to Edit>stroke(outline) selection. In the  dialog, enter the width of the stroke, choose color, place it inside, ok it.
    If you don't like the border, delete the layer with the stroke, and adjust to suit, then do it over starting with step #3

  • Why can I not print all pages in a multi-page document?

    Why can I not print all pages in a multi-page document?

    We are using Adobe Acrobat Reader, version 11.0. It's on a relatively new laptop (Windows 8) and accessing the internet through Mozilla. The printer is an HP Officejet. When I open a multi-page Adobe document and try to print all pages, I only get 1-2, have to then say print page 3, then say print page 4, etc. We use Adobe on our other laptop and it prints all pages of all Adobe documents and we have never had a problem and he accesses documents on the internet also through Mozilla.

  • Why can I not select SD versions of SD programs I purchased?

    Why can I not select SD versions of SD TV programs I purchased? When I go to my program to download it. I click the SD button, that is what I paid for. It will not move over to the SD version to allow me to download it even though I have received notification that I have a new program waiting.

    I found my own solution. While in the Itunes store I did a search for the program by name of the current season. It brought up a list of the current season and it showed that I had an undownloaded episode of the program. I hit the download ad it completed the SD download.

  • Why can I not sync all my songs on itouch. Previously had 4800 song on 32g itouch. after a reset reloaded same playlists..no format change same content itouch will now only hold 2800 of the previous 4800 songs

    Why can I not sync all of my songs on my itouch.. Previously had over 4800 songs on itouch after a factory reset and new sync of the same unaltered files the itouch will only hold  2800 songs before it runs out  of space..  Again same songs/files. any one got a clue?

    Before you restored it, did you check that box on the sync screen that downconverts the songs to a slower bitrate? That's the only thing that I can think of other than you adding more of other things (apps, pictures, videos, etc.) this time around but not the last time

  • After aborted rebuild in Mail: I can see and select the message in the center pane and when I click on it to display, I get "Loading" text, but nothing comes up

    I have searched quite a bit to find a resolution to this problem, with no success. Any help would be appreciated.
    I decided to rebuild my inboxes by following this advice: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11704. The rebuild took several hours and at 96% (4 minutes remaining apparently), the indexing froze (that is, after 8 hours, the message was still telling me "4 minutes left"). I forced quit mail, restored the previous Envelope files from the trash, and everything seemed fine.
    However, since this failed attempt, I can see and select the message in the center pane and when I click on it to display, I get "Loading" text, but nothing comes up. All messages in my various inboxes have the reloading problem, EXCEPT messages that I downloaded since the aborted rebuild (in other words, there are about 40 messages that I downloaded since I tried the rebuild and I have no problem with these). The other 70,000 messages however wont load, even though I can see them in the centre pane and spotlight has no problem finding them and showing me their contents (when I hover the mouse over the message). When I click on the message in spotlight, mail opens and the loading problem re-occurs.
    Since then, based on various suggestions I found for similar issues, I have used Disk Utility to verify and repair permissions and the drive. I used Onix to rebuild the Mail index (that only took about a minute - I am not sure how to interpret this when compared to the hours the rebuild took with Mail). No joy, I still have the same problem. I even restored one of my inboxes via Time Machine and the same issue with loading continues.
    I am using ML 10.8.2. I have a combination of IMAP accounts (work) and POP accounts (personal). The issue of loading occurs irrespective of the account.
    I am baffled and am now considering migrating to either Thunderbird or Postbox 3 to try and solve my problem. I prefer to stay with Mail. I should note also that I am using MailTags with Mail (http://www.indev.ca/MailTags.html), although I have not used any of the features. I upgraded to ML from SL about 2 weeks ago. It was very smooth and there appear to be no issues (not sure how helpful this is and probably not at all related to this issue).
    Any suggestions much appreciated!

  • Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?  Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

    Apple is great!
    Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?  Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).
    I compose an iMessage with the destination as my email address and I attach 2 photos I want on my PC.  I send them several times from my iPhone 5C but they never arrive. I look at my ipad later and realize that it's iMessage app is getting ( and swallowing) these emails. I then turn the ipad off.  Still can't get the photos through because iphone is now getting them on it's iMessage.  I turn off the iMessage feature and try to send photos from text msging.  Phone tells me it can't send photos unless iMessage it turned on.  What happened to regular MMS text messaging?  I go and try to send photos as an email attachment and see that there is no option to attach from the stupid email program.  I look up online to learn about the brave new world of apple attachments and send them.
    Why is iMessage taking my incoming emails and then not making them available for my PC to get?
    The email program on my iphone is not configured to remove messages from the server.
    If iMessage is turned off I don't have the issue.
    Why can I not send a text msg with photos when iMessage is turned off (but MMS is still on).

    Did not work. I've selected iMessage to ON and left it. After a few hours I recieved a message "activation unsuccessful. Turn on iMessage to try again". This has been going on for the past 3 days.

    Hello tomzmem,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    This situation does sound very frustrating. I know that you have tried some great troubleshooting steps already and the issue remains unresolved. Have you forced the Mail application to close and then opened it back fresh? If not, this is the next troubleshooting step I would suggest. Please let me know if the issue remains unresolved.

    Have a great day,
