Can't import music; error message reads, "The importer reported a generic error."

I've attempted to drag and drop multiple music files into the Soundtrack bar but nothing is working. I keep getting the same Error Message, which reads, "The importer reported a generic error." Can someone lead me in the right direction with some help?

Along with the comments by both John T., and Steve G., there have been some issues reported with both of the two, Fixed Audio Tracks, Soundtrack and Narration. I do not think you have gotten that far yet, but wanted to point out the potential for those issues. Should you get your music Imported into the Project, but have issues when you use either Narration, or Soundtrack, just use an empty "regular" Audio Track.
Good luck, and please let us know more about your music files.

  • When I try to send a photo by email, an error message reads "The email server didn't recognize your username/password combination"  How do I fix this?

    When I try to send a photo from iPhoto by email, and error message reads "The email server didn't recognize your username/password combination".  How do I fix this?

    Try to reenter you rmail account details in the iPhoto Preferences > Accounts tab.
    Delete the mail account entry by pressing the "-" button below the left column in the panel, then add it again by pressing "+".
    Also, it is recommended, to set "Mail" as mail client in the iPhoto preferences, and not iPhoto. This has been working much more reliably lately.

  • Has anyone been able to upload an ibooks file with audio only files (m4a) in it? I keep getting the following error message during the upload in iTunes Producer: ERROR ITMS-9000: "Files of type audio/x-m4a are not allowed outside of widgets.

    Has anyone been able to upload an ibooks file with audio only files (m4a) in it? I keep getting the following error message during the upload in iTunes Producer: ERROR ITMS-9000: "Files of type audio/x-m4a are not allowed outside of widgets. then it names the file as an m4p file. Everything works beautifully on the iPad through Preview, and validates through iTunes Producer up until the attempted upload. If you've been able to accomplish this, please let me know how you prepared your audio files. Many thanks.

    Hello Fellow iBook Authors!
    Today I received the same error that you all have been discussing.  I tried selecting the DRM
    and this did not work for me, though I'm glad it did for some.  Here's what I did as a work-around. . .
    Since iBooks Author did not have a problem with Videos, I simply used one of my video programs, ScreenFlow to turn the audio into a video file m4v.  I added an image and extended the length or timing of the image to span the length of the audio file.  Then exported as an .mov.  I then opened QuickTime and opened the file and exported the file to iTunes. 
    You can use iMovie, Camtasia or any other progam that will allow you to export the audio as a movie file.  Does this make sense?  I hope this helps, at least in the short-term.

    That is an error message from the lutron server to you. It has nothing to do with Thunderbird at all.

  • TS3899 I have one message that I cannot delete.  The error message reads: The message could not be moved to the mailbox Trash.

    I have one message in my Inbox that I have tried numerous times to delete and I just can't get rid of it.  I have tried the instructions that the Apple Support suggests but it still didn't work.  Has anyone else had this problem?

         I'm having the same problem. Seems to have started after an update about 4 days ago.
    Mail seems to think the messages are files and won't let you have more than 1  with the same header  in the Trash mailbox. If you do away with the Trash Mailbox by having mail delete the message instead of sending it to the Trash Mailbox the problem goes away, but so does the ability to recover a mistakenly deleted message. I get a lot of messages from the same people with the same header on the message. this problem is driving me crazy and I haven't been able to find anyone with any idea of whats causing it. Your the first user I've seen with this same problem.
         Lets hope someone has an idea. I would really like to solve this without losing all of my old emails.

  • Have IPAD 1 and since uploading os5 I cannot upload pictures from my Sony camera. Error message reads the USB is not compatable. I'm not sure about the new os, how do I go back to what worked?

    Have an IPad 1 and since upgrading to os 5 nothing seems to be working as before.  Current problem is I cannot upload pictures from my camera...error message "USB not compatable".  Using Apple's converter...how do I go back to the old OS?

    Nirve-
    I do not think there will be any way to revert back to an earlier system.
    The "current" problem with some cameras and card adapters resulted from Apple changing the amount of current available to USB devices, apparently to prevent them from running down the iPad's battery.  It appeared when the iOS was updated from 3 to 4.  On my iPad 2, I find that a little bit more current is available now under iOS 5.
    One way to get around the problem is by using a powered USB hub.  Another is to remove the card from the camera and use the SD adapter from the Camera Connection Kit.  If your Sony used a CF card, then you will need to find a CF-to-USB adapter that does not draw too much current.  I have one that works, but also have a couple that do not.

  • I added a reminder in iCal and it froze up.  The error message is:The server responded with an error.

    I added a reminder in iCal and it froze up.  The error message I am receiving is:The server responded with an error.  The application then locks up and I can't find out how to resolve the issue.

    Check the parameters in your email account against what is recommended by your email provider.
    Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > account
    Have you contacted the support contact at your email provider?

  • I keep getting a message reading "The server responded with an error...Make sure the URL is correct. Error 404" How do I correct this issue?

    The URL https://calendar.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/user///calendar.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/user/ encountered HTTP error 404. Make sure the URL is correct. How do I correct this issue so that I no longer see this message? Your help will be greatly appreciated.

    I simply un checked calendar in my account settings and closed ical.
    I checked it again, and opened ical.
    Thanks for the tip Linc Davis! but it works without deleting the google account completely. this was pretty straighforward and fast.

  • HT1296 Help! I failed to back up the data on my iphone 4 16gb using iTunes Version 11.01. The error message read that the back up was corrupt. I am suppose to delete the back up. Can someone help me? I urgently need to back up the data!:\

    Hi guys!
    I really need help. I tried to back up the data on my iphone 4 on the iTunes version 11.01 but failed.
    The error message read : the backup was corrupt or not compatible with iPhone. can anyone advise me on this,
    as I urgently need to back up my phone in anticipation for my iPhone 5.
    Greatly appreciated!

    this usally happens when the backup you tool was from an old ios version. Two options that you can try is
    1.  Delete the back up by going to edit> preferences> devices & delete back up on itunes & try backing up again
    2.  Update the ios software of the iphone4 & then take a back up. then try restoring

  • My 160MB iPod Classic won't sync from iTunes.  This is a recent problem.  The error message is "The iPod cannot be synched.  An unknown error occurred (-39)." The end result is that music will sync but photos will not.  Current software on Mac and iPod.

    My iPod classic won't synch from iTunes.  This is a recent problem.  The error message reads "The iPod cannot be synched.  An unknown error occurred (-39)." The end result is that the music will sync but photos will not sync.  I am running current versions of software on the iPod and the iMac / iTunes.  HELP! J

    First try to resolve #2 by:
    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or               
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
    iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
    - Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem
    If you can resolve #1 and still get same message for #1 then you have to restore the iPod like the message says.

  • I bought a used PowerMacPC G5. I can burn and read DVDs, but I can't read or burn CDs. The CDs are not even recognized. After the drive searches for a while, the CD is ejected without any error messages. The CDs work okay on my iMac.

    I bought a used PowerMacPC G5. I can burn and read DVDs, but I can't read or burn CDs. The CDs are not even recognized. After the drive searches for a while, the CD is ejected without any error messages. The CDs work okay on my iMac.
    I am running Mac OSX 10.4.11. According to the System profiler the CD/DVD drive is a "PioneerDVD-RWDVR-112D." When I compare the information under this heading, the only unusual difference from my iMac is that the G5 reads "Burn Support: Yes (Unsupported)." My iMac reads "Burn Support: Yes (Apple Shipping Drive)."
    Under the System Preferences the options are set to "Ask what to do" when a blank CD or DVD is inserted. Music CD set to open iTunes, Picture CD set to open iPhoto, Video DVD set to open DVD player.
    Do you have any suggestions?
