Can't Import audio files into Garageband (MP3's, Aiff's). Lion OS. PLEASE HELP!!

Everything is lower case. I dragged a file from the finder, it shows the plus sign, and say's it's converting, and it adds a new track, but nothing shows up... Dragging from itunes does even less -doesn't even show a plus sign or convert at all... I recently upgraded to Lion, and also upgraded to Garageband 11, though I never tried this with Garageband in the past.  Please help. It's sorta urgent.
THANKS!!!!

When you open GarageBand the image on the far right is selected to the "i" button.
Select the Media Button on the right
Select iTunes it should open your entire music library.  Dang and drop any song into GarageBand.  Kinda lame that Lion wont let you drang and drop from iTunes anymore, but this seems to work just as well.

  • Can't import audio files into Logic Pro

    I have some original compositions previously recorded on a Windows PC that I want to work on in Logic Pro. However, despite converting them to .raw, mp3, apple tiff and having the original file as. Wav, Logic Pro doesn’t recognise them; they’re all greyed out when I try to import or open, even though they play ok in I-tunes? How can I resolve this?

    .raw is not recognized by Apple. What format is this? Is this an audio file format?
    .mp3... well, if you like that kind of degraded sound...
    .tiff is an IMAGE file format. Whatever made you think this would work?
    I think you have renamed the file extensions one too many times...and the Apple machine is confused. Try starting over.
    Also, try to look at the info pane for each file, and make SURE it is seen as a .wav file AND that the file is set to read / write, not locked.

  • CAN'T IMPORT MIDI FILES INTO GARAGEBAND

    Installed iLife '08 in order to use the new GarageBand. However, when I open up a new track and drop a MIDI file onto the window both the MIDI file and the track disappear. Any remedies?

    Same here. Now that I think of it, I recently put in Logic Studio 8 and Garageband didn't open on it's own anymore. That was iLife'06. I then up-graded to iLife '08 and Garageband still doesn't open to a new project. The only way I can still open Garageband is to make a "template" out of one of their demos, then when that opens I strip the tracks out and start with new ones. By the way, I just tried to install XLN Audio's Addictive Drums. They work in Logic Studio, but do not open at all in Garageband. Error message says the plug-in is not "valid". So much for Garageband being easier than Logic.

  • Can i convert AIFF audio file into an MP3 file please?

    Can i convert AIFF audio file into an MP3 file please? I will be doing this on an imac 2008 model. thank you for help!

    Since this is the Logic forum and you may be working in Logic, you dont even need iTunes. To convert Aiff to MP3:
    1 - Go to the Bin>Audio Files
    2 - Select the Audio File you want to convert ( and not a region or edit of it)
    3 - Go to Audio File next to the Link icon ( Audio - Edit - View ) and down the menu to Copy/Convert.. gives lots of options

    JohnAndKel,
    That's odd because the CD reading test that the diagnostics runs didn't report an error. What happens if you select a song from the CD in iTunes and play directly from CD?
    (Just a note, the filter trick doesn't do anything for CD import, just CD burn. iTunes doesn't use the Gear drivers for reading the CD.)

  • Can I import html files into Buzzword?

    Can I import html files into Buzzword?

    Thank you for your post.
    Buzzword lets you import Microsoft Word (DOC, DOCX), plain text (TXT), Rich Text Format (RTF), Word 2003 XML, and Open Document Format (.odt) files. (Font substitution and other formatting changes sometimes occur on import, depending on the content of the document.) You'll need to convert your HTML file to one of the supported file types before importing to Buzzword.
    Kind Regards,
    Michelle

  • Can't import prores files into Premiere Pro CC or SpeedGrade CC

    Can't import prores files into Premiere Pro CC or SpeedGrade CC. But I can into After Effects CC.
    I also can't export to DNxHD files to an MXF file either.
    I do have latest Quicktime Pro installed and I also have Avid Media Composer and the other pieces of the Avid package.
    Conflict?

    I only have one account on the computer and it has Administrator priveleges.  What I am doing to make it work is opening the application using the "Run as Administrator" command (e.g., right click application shortcut on desktop, choose "Run as Administrator").  I am not a Windows guru but I would guess there is something different between opening an Application with a user that has Administrator priveleges and opening an Application choosing "Run as Administrator".  Also, your answer still does not address the fact that I can't use my jog wheel.
    Anyone else have some ideas?

  • I can't import raw files into lightroom

    I have been using lightroom 4. I shoot with a nikon d300s. I recently used a nikon D610 and now it says preview not available. It also says the the raw images aren't able to import. So I recently upgraded to Lightroom 5 and it still says preview not available. I need some suggestions on how to import them.

    I don't use nikon software.  I just use lightroom. I just got lightroom 5. I tried to update to 5.3 but couldn't find the location where to find it.

    Can you import Dreamweaver files into Muse, how?

    If the images aren't showing up in DW, why do you think they will show in Muse?  Obviously, something is wrong with the paths to those images.  And that will most likely be due to the underlying code.

    You might want to look at this one too.  Very easy to use and it doesn't require the Apple MPEG-2 playback component.

    how can i import mpeg files into iMovie?

    Where are your MPEG stored?
    I have hundreds of old MPEGs stored in my nexternal drive, but unfortunatly i was not able import them into iMovie. I did the following trick: I created a new set of a folder and subfolder and called it "Virtual_CAM/DCIM" and saved it on my desktop. Then went to Disk Utilities>File Menue>New>Disk Image from Folder. Then selected the folder on my desktop and clicked enter. I moved the .dmg file to my external (or just keep it on your desktop). I clicked on the .dmg file. It shoud be visible on the Finder. Open your Imovie and import as you do from your camera.

    One thing to point out, if you are doing this with the trial. While it is 100% (nothing crippled, or omitted), the trial WILL put a watermark on the finished Project. If you are doing this for work, be aware of that watermark. This http://forums.adobe.com/thread/433730?tstart=0 will give you some tips and background.
    Good luck, and I do not want you to be surprised and mad, when you get that watermark.
