Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
I use the playlist solution for Audiobooks. See http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/audiobooks.asp for details. For videos why not construct a TV Show, e.g. Comedy Videos, which can link all the related videos into one "Show"? Alternatively treat the videos as Music Videos and constuct an album for them. See http://samsoft.org.uk/iTunes/grouping.asp for my tips on albums.

You cannot redownload audiobooks at all.

You can transfer it from your iphone: File>Transfer Purchases.

I am trying to use the auto audio-sync feature. When I select the video and audio clip to be synced FCPX says its syncing them and then once finished (at 100%) no compound clip is created and the video and audio file do not sync. Any help is appreciated.

Hi
In iMovie'11 (version 9.0.x)
on top menu row - Apple/iMovie/File/Edit/Cut (Can vary dep. on language - in Swedish Apple/iMovie/Arkiv/Redigera/Klipp . . . )
down Cut menu - Slow playback/Raspid Playback/Re-play in Slow Motion and onvards
Here one can select the Pre-Set speeds
Are you familiar with getting 'inspector' to run?
No - but I guess that Double Click on clip/sequense or ctrl-Click on it might open it.

Help with audio books on CDs please

Please be gentle, I'm totally new to the ipod phenomenon and itunes etc.
Just got a new ipod touch and want to put my previously purchased Harry Potter audio cd's on to it to listen to. Trouble is when I do that it classes them as music rather than putting them in the audio book section of the ipod. Now it's not a huge problem but it really is quite irritating. I object to paying the extortionate rate on itunes for something I've already got so don't want to download them again.
Is there a way of changing the way itunes recognises my cds to class it as an audio book and if so is there a way of combining the 7+ cd's for each book together so that it becomes just 1 book rather than having them as seperate cd's called the same thing? (hope I'm making sense here!)
If anyone can help I'd be very grateful.

Take another look. The Aldoblog isn't really complicated. The summary of items to note
- You can reduce your file size by going to preferences/advanced/import and changing to 32kps (more details in the blog). Not necessary, but will save you lots of space.
- You want to joint the cd tracks to limit the number of files. Highlight all the tracks, and select join tracks from the advanced menu. You do this each time you import a disk, and end up with one track for each CD.
- Once you've got all your disks read in, then select the tracks to get info (you can right click). Under options, select "remember playback position". That way when you only have to remember which disk you last played.
I create a playlist for each audio book.

How to create a 'video-less' audio album in FCPX?

Hello to all!
I need guidance in this matter. I have with me about 5 audio albums and am on the job of making music videos of them. I have made videos of a few of them and have posted them to YouTube. Finding the going slow, I am contemplating doing this: Having a static background for one whole album in which I enter as text the title of the album and the names of the songs...something like the opener of a DVD. After pulling down all the audio into the timeline, is there anything I can perform which will enable this function: when I press the 'button' of a song's title, the album plays from that song and not from the beginning...something which you can do with a DVD's opener? After exporting the file and uploading it into YouTube, I desire that viewers have that option of being able to choose any particular song they want to hear in that album. I hope my need is understood.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply. Let me put my need with the aid of this screenshot:
This is a 'video-less' audio album I have in mind. This is the 15th album uploaded by this gentleman and has nine songs in it. The titles of these songs are entered in the text bars which are clickable. Hovering the mouse over any title shows up the video's URL. Clicking the title gets you to the song you desire to hear. The numbers 14 and 16 are also active and clickable and direct you to the previous and next albums.
Can you help me out in this matter, or can you direct me to a site that gives insights as to how to have such a setup?
Regards and take care.

New to iMovie, create live video and audio?

Hello, I am trying to create a video of a live musical performance to post on youtube and have figured out how to use the isight to get a video but can I use the biult in mics to record live audio with the video?

Hello, Nateomite
As Karsten says, you will certainly get better results and much more convenience with a camcorder.
However, if you decide to use your MacBook, the built-in mic can record audio with your video:
in iChat: iChat > Video > Record Chat records both video and audio.
in iMovie: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iMovie/7.0/en/10172.html
tells you how to record using your MacBook's built-in iSight (and mic.)
Other movie/video recording apps may work differently, but most allow sound with video.

Adobe reader XI no longer plays video or audio embedded in PDF created with Adobe Acrobat X Pro.

Help please!
Embedded video and audio content in PDFs created using Adobe Acrobat X Pro does NOT play on some school computers after Acrobat Reader XI is installed. The media content played fine with Acrobat X. This is seen with both XP and Windows 7 machines.
Bizarrely, other machines with Windows 7 and XP play the video and audio content fine when Acrobat XI is installed.
Please help, as the PDFs are the delivery mechanism for a very effective literacy programme for children, and this bug has halted delivery for a considerable number of schools and thousands of children are in trouble!

Hi Raman,
I think we have found the source of the problem. It relates to how different browsers are detected by Adobe when updating Flash Player.
To make the videos play within PDFs either from DVD or on the hard drive, it is now essential that Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin (now version 11.5.502.113) is installed. (Adobe Reader 10 had its own internal flash player, so an external player was not needed)
We have discovered that, when Google Chrome is the browser, automatic updates of Flash do NOT download this programme. Flash 11 ActiveX is the only programme that is downloaded, and the videos do NOT play from DVD or harddrive.
Also, it is not possible to manually download Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin as this option is not presented to the user. Presumably Adobe have set it up this way, because the Adobe site recognises Chrome is being used, and assumes that the computer does not need the plugin flash player, as Chrome has its own internal flash player. However, other programmes may need it!
We went to FileHippo to download the non-IE version (even though we were using Chrome!) at
http://www.filehippo.com/download_flashplayer_firefox/
Then the videos played from DVD or harddrive.
I have not been able to test how this works with other browsers. I hope that Adobe can sort this problem out asap!
regards
Buffy

How can i use audio through hdmi on mac book pro i have video no audio version10.6.8

how can i use audio through hdmi on mac book pro i have video no audio version 10.6.8 in audio it just has internal speaker options

Hello,
Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there.

OK , I have my instructional coaches creating power point presentation add audio to each slide with the presenter 10 add ins. I need these presentation converted into MP4 like you can do with adobe presenter video creator.

Love the Adobe products first. OK , I have my instructional coaches creating power point presentation add audio to each slide with the presenter 10 add ins. I need these presentation converted into MP4 like you can do with adobe presenter video creator.

If you import the PPT deck into Captivate it will not bring the audio from Presenter. But you can import it into Captivate after the slide deck has been imported. The audio files aren't necessarily named in a logical fashion in the source files for the presentation, so I would recommend that you publish the presentation locally and then find the 'data' folder in the published output and the audio files will be named in a way that you can infer the slide they are associated with. Not the simplest proceedure but it should be pretty painless.

Audio Books and Videos..

I am not sure if this is the right area to post this, but here it goes..
I have on my computer some Music videos that came with some CD's Ive purchased.. I had to convert them to MP4s so that they would play on my iPod, I've done that and I have them in my iPod Library, However, when I change their type from "Move" To "Music Video", They not longer appear on the movie list, they are moved to my Music Play list, and on the iPod, can not be found under the "Movies" Or "Music Videos" listings..
Also having a similar problem with a Audio Book that I have, they show up as Music and not an Audio Book on my iPod,
Is it possible for me to fix these so they work right?

Any help on this one?

Playing Audio Books On My Video iPod

I have a new 80 gig video ipod. I puchased an audio book from iTunes. The book downloaded to my computer just fine and I can play the book on my computer. File is located in the Audio Book folder and is in the M4B format.
The book is on my iPod, located in the Audio Book folder. When I select the file to play, it shows that it is playing for about 3 seconds and then goes back to the main menu. It never starts playng.
Further, whenever I sync my computer and iPod, the play count keeps going up. It now says that I have played the file over 30 times when in fact, I haven't heard one word of it.
I hope someone can help.

I posted about this problem yesterday as I was having the same problem. I contacted iTunes customer service using their email form on that page. I heard back from them in about 10 hours. They authorized me to download the book again. It plays like a charm now.
Apple has superb customer service. I was treated with courtesy and promptly each time I contacted them about this problem and a couple of more issues that were my stupidity.
I'm very pleased with Apple! !

If I import audio books into the music section of itunes it lists the books as albums and all the chapters as tracks fine when I sync them to my ipod classic, but not if I import them as audiobooks, any ideas please?

If I import audio books into the music section of itunes it lists the books as albums and all the chapters as tracks fine when I sync them to my ipod classic, but not if I import them as audiobooks and then sync them, any ideas please?

If you import the audiobook as an audiobook to your iTunes Library, it will be listed in the Books section of your Library. You may need to turn on Books in order to see them. If you cannot see the File/Edit... etc. menu, use CTRL B on your keyboard to make that menu bar appear. Then go to Edit/Preferences>Books and put a tick in the box.
But, if the imported audiobook shows up in the Music section of your iTunes Library, highglight the files (in iTunes) and select File/Get Info/Options/Media Kind>Audiobook. These files will now transfer to the Books section of iTunes.
Once on an iPod Classic, look under the Audiobooks menu. Again, you may need to change the settings in the Settings menus, in order to have the Audiobooks option shown on the Main Menu and/or the Music Menu.

Arranging Audio Books on iPOS Video 60GB

How can I sort my Audio Books on the iPOD by artist? iTunes arranges all Audiobook files after the Alphabet and not by Artist or Year. How can I do that?

That´s right. but in my first question i tried to sort my albums first under the Artist name and then by the year when they came out. So that I sort all Albums from an Artist in the order when they were published. Now I try to sort my Audiobook tracks in my iPod the same way as they appear in my iTunes. My iPod sorts them now by alphabet.
Sorry for the confusion.
