Cropping music in iTunes for iMovie

I know how to shorten a song in iTunes via the Get Info and adjusting the start and stop times. Can I then import this shortened version to iMovie so I don't have to use the entire song?

Karsten gave you the iMovie option, and what follows is the iTunes option...
When you have set the start/stop times to what you want, from the Advanced menu in iTunes, choose "Convert Selection..." to make a cropped copy of the track. Use that cropped copy.
BTW, the intended conversion format will reflect whatever format has been set in the "Importing" pane of iTunes preferences. (also, don't forget to return the original track's start/stop times when your cropped copy has been made)

How do I add music from itunes to imovie

How do I add music from itunes to imovie?

Hi
I do
• Never use .mp3 (or other strange formats)
• Never import directly from iTunes
• Convert all to .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or from Audio-CD 44.1kHz .aiff
In iTunes I collect needed audio into a new PlayList
- then burn them as a Standard Audio-CD (.aiff)
to convert .mp3 or other formats to .aiff I use - Audacity™ (free from Internet)
and in all my movie projects in - iMovie HD6 or iMovie'11 or FinalCut Express or Pro - I use these .aiff files.
I have near to Zero problem with Audio in my projects.
Yes - tedious. Yes there might be better ways - BUT - YES I hate to re-do my projects and the Audio never makes me to do that this way.

I bought new music on itunes for th first ime in years and the updates erased all my music from my ipod and none of the new music that I bought was downloaded...a bunch of stuff I never heard of is now on my ipod. How do I reload my library?

I went to itunes for the 1st time in years and bought music. The updates removed all the songs on my ipod and did not downlaod my purchases. Instead I have a bunch of songs I never heard of. How do I reload my library on my ipod and get rid of the terrible junk that is on there now?

Was this a different computer/iTunes library than what it you had originally sync the iPod with? If so, that would explain why all of your content that WAS on your iPod was erased, since an iPod can only be synced with one iTunes library at a time.
As for your current predicament, you'll need to figure out how your iPod is configured to sync music and then adjust it so that the stuff you don't want on it is removed during the next sync operation and the music you DO want on it will be transferred over to it from iTunes.

Best way to arrange music in iTunes for Shuffle & Nano

I have a Shuffle and just ordered a Nano. With the Shuffle iTunes simply puts all songs on the iPod. I want to create playlists for my Nano and put all songs in a playlist. How can I arrange the songs where they don't all load when I connect the Shuffle? I guess my question is, for those of you with both what's the best way to arrange music on iTunes?

You'll probably want to create separate playlists for your Shuffle and for your Nano and then set iTunes to sync only selected playlists to the Nano. Or set it to manual management and just drag to the Nano whatever content you want.
Regards.

Apple TV plays music from Itunes for 1 second only

The Apple TV sees all my music from Itunes and I can select any of the tracks but when I play one the music only plays for 1 second before stopping. Sometimes I'll hear the 1 second of music, sometimes not. I've reset all of my settings on the Apple TV. Music plays from Itunes out of my laptop when I have the device set to computer. If I select Apple TV as the device, the song wont play and just hangs, but on the television bottom left corner it will show the track information as though it was going to play for one second before it changes to a blank treble clef image labled "untitled". Any ideas?

If I play it from the ATV Menu : The Apple TV sees all my music from Itunes and I can select any of the tracks. When I play a track the music plays for 1 second and then stops. Sometimes I'll hear the 1 second of music, sometimes not.
If I play it from Itunes via airplay : The song wont play at all and just hangs, but on the bottom left corner of the TV (that the apple tv is connected to) it will show the track information (Album image + song name) as though it was going to play, but one second later it changes the track information to a blank note image labled "untitled" and no music.

If I purchased music on itunes for my ipod do I have to purchase them again for my iphone?

I have purchased itunes for my ipod and I wanted to download them on my iphone. I was able to download them but it charged me again for the same ones. Can download them on iphone without being charged agiab?

Hi,
Firstly make sure you have iOS 5.0 or above on your iPhone.
Then make sure the iPhone is using that same account that you have purchased those song with.
To do this go to Settings > Store and check the email address at the bottom of the screen.
If you have all these ok, then just open the iTunes app and select the "purchased" category at the bottom of the screen and you will be given the fully list of all your purchased music ready for you to redownload without being charged.
(when a song is selected you are given an option to "download the full album" if you have purchased it already)
Hope this helps.

I have bought music on itunes for my ipod can i copy them to my ipod nano

How can you copy music bought on itunes for my ipod onto a new ipod nano that i have bought

Open iTunes and plug in your iPod. On the left sidebar there should be your iPod name (If you can't find the sidebar, go to iTunes menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar), go to your iTunes playlist and drag the songs you want to your iPod. For all of the songs, go to your iPod music library, even if you don't have songs, and on the bottom there should be a blue-ish bar. There might be a box saying "Autofill from iTunes library" click that ONLY if you want ALL songs from your iTunes to your iPod.

Separating apps/music in iTunes for 2 different apple id's

I've had an iPhone for a few years and I recently got my daughter an iPod. She has her own email account for facetime/texting but I originally signed her in with my apple id. She's been downloading free apps to her ipod and I've been entering my apple id password for her. Now I want to keep our things separate...meaning I don't want her games or music and I don't need her to have my random apps. I just signed myself off her ipod and signed her in using her apple id, but when I plug each device into my pc, it shows all the same apps regardless of the device I plug in.
Is there a way to separate us??? Even if I have to delete all of the apps she downloaded from my id and start all over, I would do that, but I need to know how to make itunes recognize her as a separate user with separate music and apps going forward.
Hope that made sense, and if anybody can help, please be specific (as in step 1, do this, step 2, do that.....etc) !! I see alot of short and sweet answers but I can't make sense of them!!! Many thanks!

I'm trying to follow the instructions for creating a separate iTunes Library but I'm making a big mess of it. I got through steps 1-6 just fine, but step 7 needs to be explained to me in greater detail. Here's what I need to do....My daughter has some apps that she downloaded. That is all I need to move to her library. When I click on Add File to Library or Add Folder to Library, I'm a little confused on what to do next. I tried copy and pasting from my original library to her new one, but now when I try to open iTunes while holding the shift button so I can select he new library and sync her iPod, it won't open. Any input would be great!!!! Thank you...

Import/copy music from Itunes to imovie doesn't work

I tried to add Music from my Itunes libary to Imovie (open Itunes/add to libary) but when i click Itunes or Music in Imovie there is no Music shown, with garage band it's the same problem.

Hi
I do - always - Copy out from iTunes to an Standard Audio CD (as this is plain .aiff 16-bit 44.1kHz)
And the files on this CD I use in my movie projects - AND have near to ZERO problems with the Audio at least.
NO .mp3 or other strange format - all is converted one way or another to .aiff.

I can't see my music from iTunes in iMovie?!

I am trying to put music I purchased from iTunes into something I made on iMovie and it just says when I select iTunes, "The Contents of your iTunes library will appear here." I have tried everything, dragging and dropping music onto my desktop, trying to import manually, but then it tells me that it cannot import the media in that folder ("iTunes Library"). Please help!

I'm only trying to sync 350 songs. When I click "sync" the process will start but it won't end in my iTunes. My iPhone's sync symbol dissapears and the sync symbol in iTunes in my PC is still there. The sync process that consits of 5-7 steps won't finish the last step and keeps "downloading Safari secure browsing data" (I don't know if this translation is correct, I'm Spanish and iTunes is set up in Spanish too)
I've tried turning off Wi-Fi because some people got rid of this problem this way supposedly, but it didn't work at all

Grayed out music on itunes for mini

The shuffle is working fine.
The mini however is recognized but all of the music is grayed out. Not the normal black fonts
How do I access the music so I can change what is on it?
This is my kids so he could have done anything
Thanks
John

Your mini is most likely set to Auto-sync. Go to preferences in itunes while your mini is connected, and set the ipod to manually update. That should do the trick.

Locating music in itunes for Mac

I cannot locate a number of songs purchased through iTunes in my iTunes library. They were purchased several years ago and despite my best efforts to manually search my entire hard drive, I cannot find them. I also noticed that the Purchased list in my iTunes library only goes back about a year or two and the missing songs were purchased earlier. I am positive these songs exist somewhere as I was previously able to play them and I paid for them through Apple. I have looked at my default setting for where the iTunes downloads are supposed to go and it hasn't changed. Does anyone has some ideas about how might more effectively look for them? Thanks in advance. John

Take a look here for some tips on how to look for the tracks. If you still can't find them, you'll need to restore them from your backups (I hope you made backups, as iTunes itself advises).
Good luck.

Importing music in Itunes for MAC

I have a IMAC, i have installed the latest version from Itunes.
My music is copied to the folder User:Music
When creating a Itunes Library i put it to Music: and called it Itunes MAC.
Then I do Import Library, Itunes then import the songs into Itunes.
When finished Itunes then copies the files into the Itunes MAC\Itunes Music
This then creates a double size and the songs are double in Itunes.
What is it that i am doing wrong?.
Please advise

Organizing music in Itunes for Ipod.

When I transfer a WAV files from my computer all the songs get organized by index number and NOT by artist and album. This just creates a big indecipherable mess when I upload to my ipod. (the files I'm transferring from my have been organized by artist and album title so the info is definitely available)
Is there any way to organize in Itunes by artist and album? (this seems like a ridiculous question to have to ask)
Gerry

try this:
select the playlist in iTunes.
right-click the playlist name and select +copy to play order+. sync the Touch.
