Can't open a track from iTunes in Garageband.

Why can't I open a track from iTunes 12.1.2.27 in Garageband 10.0.3? The track is grayed out.
I loaded the tracks into iTunes from a legally purchased CD.
I'm using an iMac OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.3

Are the tracks in iCloud Match? Download them first, otherwise you cannot use them in the Media Browser. GarageBand needs a local copy.
from a legally purchased CD.
Even a legally purchased CD may have a protection. Do the songs show in your iTunes Library as
"Kind : Protected AAC audio file", when you open the "File" tab in the Inspector panel?
Then you cannot use them directly in GarageBand. Make a backup copy of the album by burning an Audio CD in iTunes and reimport. That will help sometimes.

How can I import a backing track from itunes to garageband? thanks!

how can I import a backing track from itunes to garageband? Just trying to record over it. thanks!

Reveal iTunes in GarageBand in the Media Browser like this:
Use the search field to find your song in iTunes, and drag the song from the m
Media Browser to a real instrument track or an empty space on the Time Line.
Or drag the song from the iTunes Application window to the desktop, and from the Desktop into the Time Line in GarageBand. Unfortunately you cannot drag directly from iTunes to Garageband.

Can I set a track from iTunes as my ringtone?

Can I set a track from iTunes as my ringtone?

You can make a ringtone out of a song that:
1) is or was purchased from itunes
2) has a ringtone icon
Once you have the itunes purchased song in your library and it has the bell icon, then click on the bell icon. Then edit the song to the portion and length of the clip you want to use.
Then select buy( it will cost 99 cents in addition to the original cost of purchasing the song from itunes). It will show up in your ringtones heading in itunes. When you sync, it will be on your iphone.

Can't open purchased songs from itunes store

I downloaded songs from itunes store a while back. My laptop crashed and now i have a small ASUS eee pc with a 4gb hard drive. I have windows XP SP1 and cannot upgrade to SP2 (not enough room on my HD). i had to get an older version of itunes that's compatible with SP1. I can see the songs that I purchased but when I click on them it asks for password to authorize, then i enter it and then it says 'this computer is already authorized.' So now, what do I do? Help!!! I want the songs I bought!

Was your backup copy stolen as well?
If so, you can try e-mailing itunes support to see if they will make an exception, although they are under no obligation to do so.

Can't delete some tracks from iTunes Library

I am having trouble deleting a few files from my iTunes Library. It won't let me even change any information on the track within iTunes. Not a locked file or anything. Please help!

Try swiping across the song - in the songs tab of the Music App - from right to left - to bring up the red delete button.
Note - this is done in the. Music app. Not iTunes.

I can't sync imported tracks from iTunes to iPhone5

Using iTunes 11, upgraded to iOS 7 on iPhone 5. Yesterday I imported 11 mp3 tracks into iTunes from an audio file. They appear in iTunes, but the do not sync to my phone. The are not unchecked and I'm at a complete loss as to what could possibly be going on.

I have this issue too! However it only appeared yesterday.
I am a dance teacher and use my phone for all my class playlists. Earlier in the week I uploaded a couple of my Christmas class playlists fine, however last night I was unable to upload my list at all and ended up having to drag my laptop out with me in order to work!
I have tried turning both phone and laptop off, I have since loaded the lastest version of Ios 8.1.2 which doesn't appear to have done anything. And now I have seen a whole heap of issues in a similar vein encountered by other people.
I appreciate that I am using an old phone (iPhone 4s) but I had not changed anything prior to this issue appearing last night. I did encounter it briefly some months ago... and vaguely remember sorting it by checking the names of all the music styles that I wanted to have appear on my iPhone, but that seems a very long-winded way of ensuring that my playlists are updated.
Any tips would be much appreciated.

If I have iTunes match, how can I physically add tracks from iTunes to my phone?

I'm travelling to an area without WiFi and 3g with poor reception so I want music to actually physically copy the music onto my iPhone. When I try to drag the tracks over to my phone in iTunes, it says that it hasn't copied them over becuase they are available via the Cloud.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You'll need to download then via iTunes Match before you travel.

Can't Drag from iTunes into Garageband anymore

After routine software update to iTunes 10 and Garageband 09 version 5.1, I can no longer drag files from iTunes into Garageband, whereas I always could before. Whats wrong? I'm using an iMac with a 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor with 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory.

Somehow, when I tried to drag from the finder, I didn't always get the right song! But if I double clicked that song in the finder, the right song was played by iTunes, even though the wrong song showed up in Garage Band. Dragging to and from the desktop worked fine, and I just dragged it from the desktop to the trash after I worked on it in Garage Band for editing and "sharing" back into iTunes.

There are a large number of online music download stores that sell lossless (CD-quality) or better-than-CD-quality downloads, known as HD or hi-res. The iTunes Store is not one of them. Feel free to check out beatport.com, eclassical.com, hdtracks.com, etc.

TS1717 i recently downloaded two tracks from itunes: they will not play in my windows media center even though i have added them to that location. any idea what other trouble shooting i can attempt on this issue??

i recently downloaded two tracks from itunes and they will not play in my windows media center. i have never had this problem but the two tracks play on my PC just not in the windows media center and usually all my itunes music plays in there no problem??? any idea what to do? thanks

I'm searching for an answer to almost the same exact problem, using almost the same exact hardware and software. Has an answer been found?
The files that I'm trying to burn come from eMusic, and they are formatted mp3. Recently, (after the iTunes update to 9.2.3?,) they would not drag and drop from iTunes into Toast. From several different discussions I've tried working around this by dragging to the desktop first then dragging and dropping to Toast, going to Toast from a programmer's homemade help window, " iToons," and today, after talking with Apple support, going directly to Toast from my eMusic folder. Alas, all recordings do not perform like they use to. Sometimes they play and sometimes not. There is one I managed, that is listenable, but sometimes I have to put it in my car stereo over and over again as it gets ejected with an error code, sometimes, finally it takes it... Some of the recordings on other disks I've burned are not clean - they have white-noise sounds creeping in... I use to have none of these problems. One time as I was listening to a CD that managed to play, and it just stopped playing... Is there an answer out there to get back to how it use to be? Thanks for you help.

How do I get a track from iTunes to match the master tempo of my project?

I have a project open and I am adding a track from iTunes, but it does not line up with the tempo, making it impossible to play loops over it. Is there a way to make the tempo of the track match the master tempo of the project?

benfrommason wrote:
so is there a way to mix songs together that aren't the same tempo?
Yes. You have to decide which song is the "master" song that you match the other to. This song has to have the "follow tempo and pitch" option unchecked, the other song has it checked. Then you can use the tempo slider to match the songs to each other.
(I even did it with "Sympathy for the Devil" which has an irregular beat - it gets faster as the song progresses, the folks didn't record with a metronome back then. Using a tempo curve, I was able to match it to a modern, steady-beat song.)

Problems deleting tracks from itunes

I have a Mac, Iphone and Ipad. I have problems deleting tracks from iTunes. The issue I have is that tracks keep coming back. The issue goes something like this:
I delete a track from iTunes. I sync with an IOS device. On sync, iTunes says there are purchased items on the IOS device not present in your library, do you want to import them? I select no, then iTunes imports the tracks anyway! Essentially the track I deleted from iTunes, gets imported back in from an IOS device, every time.
This means I face the situation of having to delete tracks from all 3 devices, to stop them coming back. Am I doing something wrong?

There is a way to do this, kindof. See my post here.
The best way to do this if you want to be able to continue updating the Apple TV with new content would be to buy an external hard disk and keep all your movies (and the secondary library itself) on that disk. Then, when you want to add movies to the Apple TV, you would just connect the external disk, open the secondary library in iTunes, and add the movie into iTunes. The setting here that you need to be aware of is the "Copy to iTunes Music folder when adding to library" setting in iTunes Preferences > Advanced General. So long as this setting is on, any movie file that you add to the secondary library will automatically be copied by iTunes to your external drive. Once you're done syncing the Apple TV, and you verify that the movie file did in fact get copied to the external disk, you can delete the copy from the hard drive in your computer.
