Do .sf2 files work on GarageBand 10.0.1?

Do .sf2 files work on GarageBand 10.0.1 with Mavericks? They used to work with GarageBand '11 on Mac OSX 10.8

Does the track lock show in the Track heads? If not, use the Track manu to show the Track locks. in the Track header
Tracks > Track header > Show track locks.
When the locks are showing in te Track headers, press them to disable them.

Can Logic Pro work with soundfont (sf2) files?

Just curious. I have Garageband and the DLS Music Player has no way to change banks or presets for downloaded sf2 files except by sending a "program change" event from a midi controller. Can logic pro do that? I.e., if I load an sf2 file, can it use different banks and presets within that sf2 file, or is it limited to only the very first of each like Garageband?

Oh, I see, you don't have Logic yet - well, what I meant was that, once you've got your sf2 files into the EXS, just have a track for each different sound (open up an EXS24 on each track). If you need to use a lot of tracks, you can use Logic's 'Bounce in Place' feature, which instantly creates an audio file for you from the software instrument region you've created for any particular sound, so you don't need to think about banks of presets or program changes etc..
Logic comes with a vast array of software instruments and presets for them, along with a huge number of loops, if that's your thing - you may well find that good quality sounds that you want are already there and you won't need to use soundfont files anyway. If you've been using Garageband and want to take your work further, Logic is probably the next, well, logical step.

How to put exported iPod Garageband files back onto Garageband?

Hi,
Last year before I got a new iPod Touch I exported my Garageband song files onto my laptop using the "file sharing" feature on iTunes, at the bottom of the "apps" screen. I now want to put these files back onto Garageband on my latest iPod but am not sure how. The songs have saved in folders titled *songname*.band and upon entering the folders I am presented with more folders entitled ontents, media, output and thumbs. There is also a standalone file named ProjectData. I've tried adding the ProjectData file to garageband, but this has no effect.
Both iPods were 4th gen. My current IOS is 6.1.6.
So in short, how can I get the songs contained in these folders back into my iPod touch?
Thank you for any assistance.

You should be able to sync your projects back to the iPod, if you add the .band files back to the GarageBand file sharing area in iTunes, when you sync your iPod again.
But this will only work, if you did not open the projects in GarageBand on your Mac and convert them to GarageBand for Mac projects.

SoundFont sf2 files and Logic Pro 7

Does anyone know if Logic Pro 7 can access and use SoundFont sf2 files? If so, how can they be accessed? Is it as simple as assigning these files via an instrument file track?

According to users on the Logic forum here, Logic Pro 7.2 and above (the Universal Binary release of Logic) works very well on Intel Mac. Anything below 7.2 is PowerPC only, and will work very poorly on an Intel Mac, if it works at all.

EXS 24 not "see" .SF2 files.

What I can do, when EXS 24 not "see" .SF2 files? I've install .SF2 folder to Library>Application Support>
Logic>Sampler instruments. Please help me. Zibi.

I can confirm EXS24 uses sf2 files - I've used hundreds. (for 8 years) Logic automatically creates an EXS instrument when you choose a sf2. This IS something I'm a little hazy about. I believe that once that exs instrument is created, the sf2 files need to be in the sampler files section for the newly created EXS Instrument to work. (so...the EXS instrument refers to the sf2 file) I think that's how things work.

How can I make a .gif file work in Keynote on my iPad Mini?

How can I make a .gif file work in Keynote on my iPad Mini?
Have saved a .gif file to my Camera Roll, and it works fine as I have checked it through mail. When I import it into Keynote however it won't animate. Even when I play slide. Any suggestions?

The can use apps such as Apple's Pages app for Word documents and Numbers for Excel spreadsheets, and from third-parties apps such as Documents To Go ('premium' version) and QuickOffice Pro HD.

Error message on file created in garageband

I tried to open a file recorded in garageband and got an error message that said, "The file couldn’t be opened because it isn’t in the correct format. The file might be corrupted, truncated, or in an unexpected format."
I need to listen to this file today for a class (it was an interview with someone that i did for a project and i cannot re-do the interview), but it won't open. The file extension still says .band so I don't know what the problem is. I did earlier accidentally try and open it using itunes, but it doesn't show that it changed anything in the file.
How do I access this file?

how would I do this? When I look at the package contents, the only thing in there is a folder called "output" which contains a file called "Output.aif"
I don't understand how this happened, all i did was try to open the file in the wrong program on accident. I really need this for a class and will pretty much be screwed if I can't get it. Is there anywhere else where I could just find the sound file? I didn't even do anything fancy with it, just recorded and saved

Numbers 3.0.1 - Can't open file "Work.numbers"

Hello, all Community!
Here's a iWork Numbers file, edited and successful saved yesterday to local folder, named Work.numbers.
Today this file not opening anymore. Number's says: "Can't open file ..." And just one button "OK".
In system log here's next lines:

What I done to try resolve this problem:
1. Checked permissions and repaired.
2. Tried to open file in iCloud web-editor - no result. iCloud says that it can't open this spreadsheet.
3. Tried to convert file via some online file type converters to xls document (i will not put link here). Converter says that I have wrong file format.
Also I tried to open file in some other programs. No luck.
That's all.
File Work.numbers has been closed correctly and was no errors. Unfortunately, we have no any backup copy of this file anywhere. I know, this is stupid, but question now: How can I repair this document? Is any repair tools for iWork files?
The file seems like has right structure.

Unzipping Index.zip is passing without errors. It has many "iwa" files with binnary content and I can't get data from it. But, data in that file is very important for one person.
Could anybody help me to resolve my problem to restore Numbers document?

Hi rabg,
I am using OS X 10.8 on a Mac. This may be different if you are using iOS.
Does Numbers'09 still exist in your Applications folder? Maybe inside a new folder? Perhaps you could use Numbers'09 to open your documents.
Regards,
Ian.

File works in Encore 1.0.1 but gives problems in Encore 2.0

Try downloading this file
http://www.ecs.homechoice.co.uk/Adobe_test.mpg
It's a recording of a trailer off BBC1 and is typical of the problems I am experiencing with Adobe Enmcore 2.0
If you play back teh above file on Windows Media player it looks fine. If you impotr the file into Encore 1.0 it looks fine. But if you impotr it into Encore 2.0 it exhibits problems at the following timecodes (the problems are visible just viewing the time line, you don't have to burn the disk).
0:0:04:04 - pixellation
0:0:11:20 - repeated frame
0:0:15:04 - pixellation
0:0:15:05 - pixellation
0:0:15:19 - pixellation
Do other people have the same problem at the same timecodes?
Would be interested to hear. The first response from Adobe "level 2" Support was not encouraging on this.
I just want to know why the file works fine in 1.0 but not in 2.0!

> I find it hard to accept the notion that the Topfield recordings are to blame when Encore 1.0 creates DVDs from these files with no problems whatsoever.
For whatever reason, the new recordings and Encore 2.0 don't play nice together. I doubt that you can get the BBC or Topfield to change the way that they broadcast or record the video data. Any modifications to Encore that might eliminate the problems you are seeing will have to wait for an update or an upgrade to the program, if they ever appear at all.
I doubt that Adobe is going to do much research or troubleshooting to discover why Encore doesn't like PVR files from your (or anyone else's) Topfield or [insert your brand here] recorder. It wasn't designed to work in that arena. There are much cheaper, much more forgiving MPEG and DVD creation programs out there that will let you edit out commercials or archive your favorite shows.
Your solution is simple: Use Encore 1.0 for your Topfield recordings.

Has anyone used reMIDI as a plug-in for GarageBand. I downloaded a trial version of reMIDI, which enables MIDI instruments to be strummed or arpegiated, but can't get it to work in Garageband. How do I set it up?

Has anyone used reMIDI as a plug-in for Garageband ('08)? The program allows MIDI instruments to be strummed or arpegiated. I have a trial version, but can't get it to work in Garageband. Wonder how to set it up.

Port Forwarding.....or Port Mapping....as Apple calls it is a difficult and complex configuration method for most users. Because there are so many variables involved in this type of setup, it is not possible to provide a step by step guide that will work for everyone with all devices.
It is possible that a setup guide exists for the the WD drive and AirPort Extreme, but you will have to go looking for it on the Internet. Even if you find one, it may not be tailored to your specific situation or needs.
Sometimes, you can do everything right....at least according to someone's article or "how to" guide, and things still will not work correctly.
In situations like this, when you really don't know what to do, you need to enlist the aid of an IT pro, who will know what to do based on your particular products and unique circumstances. Sometimes....they won't be able to get things working either due to particular circumstances.
But, before you do this, I would strongly recommend that you use a Static IP address for your Internet connection with your ISP. If you do not have this now, contact them to ask them if they offer this type of connection. Expect to pay more for this type of service, of course.

I have an issue in Adobe Reader, blurry text with a section of a PDF. Same file works fine on a colleagues PC. Even tried Pro?

I posted this question on Twitter last week, was asked to check the settings for rendering and this didn't make a difference. I then installed Adobe Acrobat Pro to see if this made a difference but no luck. Finally I was asked to print in B&W but again no luck. One of my colleagues is using Reader and the same file works fine for him. Please help...

After a week's worth of debugging, I found the issue.
The Java type returned from the call was defined as ArrayList. Changing it to List resolved the problem.
I'm not sure why ArrayList isn't a valid return type, I've been looking at the Adobe docs, and still can't see why this isn't valid. And, why it works in Debug mode and not in Release build is even stranger. Maybe someone can shed some light on the logic here to me.

I was trying to upload from my iPad to my pc.
That was hard for us to guess, from your post It might have helped to mention the iPad.
How are you trying to save the song to your PC? Are you sending the song to iTunes? If yes, as a project or as an audio file? Make sure, you select "AAC" and not "GarageBand", when you share the song from your iPad.
If the clip is not too large, you might alternately try to share it by mail, see:

Not all files work in log and transfer

Hoping maybe someone has found a fix to this issue...
When editing an HDV project not all my .m2t files (all in the same folder) want to transfer using Log and Transfer. Most of the files will transfer correctly but sometimes it skips a file and puts a red exclamation mark in the status. Not sure why most files work and a few don't when they are all from the same folder and from the same shoot. The files will open fine in other 3rd party apps so the files are ok.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Mike

FCP may be a bit more discriminating on the file structure or header integrity, dunno, never shot HDV myself but we've seen similar posts for years. Try copying the files to your drive first and then ingesting.
Side note, ust because other apps can open the files doesn't mean they are intact or useable. You don't mention what these apps are but if you can export form them, do that and then ingest the new file which might have all of its glitches reparied to suit FCP.
