Exporting to iTunes from QT

I am trying to export an AVI file to iTunes and it continues to freeze with only 5 seconds left.
     - I open the file in QuickTime
     - I select "Share"
     - I select "iTunes"
     - I select "iPhone or iPod"
The exporting status bar pops up and begins.  After about 40 minutes (1.1 G file), it gets to "5 seconds remaining" and Freezes!  It doesn't matter if I cancel immediately or let it run for 2 hours; it continues to read "5 seconds remaining". 
Please help me!  I have tried this several times now and get the same result.
Thanks
~Jerry

Please help me!  I have tried this several times now and get the same result.
Assuming the AVI file is currently playable/compatible with your current QT component configuration, then try using the free MPEG Streamclip, QT 7 Pro, or similar free converter utility to transcode your file using the desired mobile device target preset. Basically, many users have indicated the QT X export/share options are sometimes a bit "buggy."

  • Missing itunes from computer

    I am having trouble exporting my itunes from my old computer to my new one. I managed to do half but have a good 400+ still to go.
    I've searched for them on the whole computer and cannot find them as they are missing from any music or itunes folder I have on my computer.
    Is there any way of downloading them from my ipod without erasing what is currently on my new computer? I have an ipod mini.
    Or does anyone know how to find them on my old computer?
    Many thanks.
    Wendy

    *Is there any way of downloading them from my ipod without erasing what is currently on my new computer?*
    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod to a computer
    The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    TuneJack Windows Only
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    SharePod Windows Only
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide

  • I cannot export a slideshow from Iphoto to iTunes

    I am trying to export a slideshow from iphoto to itunes so that I can burn it to a dvd.  The automatically sent to itunes is checked but the export button is not highlighted.

    You are asking about a slideshow in iPhoto on your Mac, right? Then the iLife > iPhoto forum would have been the right one to ask your question. This forum is for iPhoto on IOS devices.
    The automatically sent to itunes is checked but the export button is not highlighted.
    The "Export" button will become active, when you select a size for your exported movie. Press one of the sizes , for example "Large", if you want to view the movie on your iPad or Apple TV.

  • Exporting/sending songs from GB to iTunes via Automator

    hi there,
    I have a number of songs that I have recorded from old vinyl records and would like to send them to iTunes from GB versions 3.02. How can I do this?
    1 - get specified finder item (to select the folder in which I have the GB songs)
    2 - get folder contents
    3 - open finder item (to open song in GB)
    4 - export Garageband Project (automator action from third party, which does not seem to do the trick in GB 3.02) >> how can I export/send it to iTunes??
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Andreas

    first, make sure the Normalize pref is turned on in GB, and all of iTunes "enhancement" prefs are turned off.

  • I added 2 cd's to itunes 11, I have an ipod classic 30gb, how do I export the albums from itunes to my ipod?

    Hi Ihave an ipod classic 30gb, i imported 2 cd's into itunes on win xp pro sp3, how do I export the albums from itunes to my ipod?

    It depends on how you previously added content to the iPod?  Or are saying the iPod is currently empty, and you want to add these albums to it?
    If you want to sync your entire iTunes music library to the iPod, which may or may not be just these two albums at this point, you can do the following.  Select the iPod in iTunes, so that you see the iPod's "management" screen.  If you are using the latest iTunes 12, you do this by clicking the "device button" on the horizontal bar that goes across the iTunes window (near the top).  The button's icon looks like the connected device.
    On the iPod's screen, there is a sidebar (along left side of window).  In the sidebar, under Settings, click Music.  To the right, the iPod's Music settings screen is shown, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.  Near the top, there is a checkbox for Sync Music.  Check that box to enable automatic syncing.  NOTE:  If that box is not already checked, checking it will replace the iPod's existing content with content from your iTunes library.  Any songs on the iPod now that are not in your current iTunes library will be lost.
    Below that setting, there are two options for how to sync songs.  30GB is a decent amount of storage space, so if your entire iTunes library can fit on your iPod, you can use the option to sync Entire music library.  Then click Apply.  iTunes syncs your entire iTunes music library to your iPod.  Going forward, any changes to your iTunes music library (such as adding more albums or songs) will sync automatically to the iPod, the next time it is connected (or when you click Sync if already connected).
    If your situation is different, please reply back with more details.

  • Why slideshow from iPhoto take long to export to iTune

    Why slide show take so long to export to iTune and then appleTV

    Took 2 hours to export a 40 minute project.
    Previous version of iMovie rendered each transition, title, special effect, as a physical file (which is why rendering took so long), stored it in your project, updated a "reference" file which represented the current status of your timeline. iMovie '08, on the other hand, performs all of it rendering at the time of export and then compresses the file for your selected export specification.
    So after doing that with another project I exported them to iDVD. It told me I had to have a Dual Layer DVD just to fit two 40 minute videos, plus it had to encode them.
    Sounds like you forgot to change your iDVD output mode from the 60-minute HQ mode to the extended 90-mode here. Remember iDVD encodes to MPEG2/PCM and not MPEG2/AC3.
    I start to export and it take about 40 minutes, then that bar disappears and a new one begins to creep across, it says the estimated time is 5000 minutes.
    First bar was probably for the "menu" and the second was probably for the movie content. BTW, do you have have iDVD set to encode in the background or to begin encoding only when you manually start the burn process?

  • I just exported some music from Amazon to iTunes but now I can't find my original iTunes music. How can I find them?

    I just exported some music from Amazon to iTunes but now I can't find my original iTunes music. How can I find them?

    I did this by going into the folder where the Amazon MP3's were and copied the link into iTunes under the add file link in the menu. This music was purchased before I had an iTunes account so I wasn't aware that they could've been automatically exported. I still have the iTunes MP3s on my iPhone. Could I sync them over or something to that extent because I can't find the files at all even when doing a system search.

  • HT1660 can iTunes Playlists be exported and played from a USB drive or an SD card in Ford Sync ?

    can iTunes Playlists be exported and played from a USB drive or an SD card in Ford Sync ? I've been racking my brain trying to get playlists from itunes onto a flash drive and/or SD card to play in Ford Sync. It seems the playlists are "empty" and not associated with any corresponding music files. Sync responds saying "playlists are empty" ?
    The only "work around" I have been able to do is create separate folders on the flash , and name the folders for each corresponding  playlist and copy and paste the appropriate music into the appropriate folders. The limitation being Sync can not recognize folders by voice commands. It recognizes voice commands for playlists, but apparently NOT iTunes playlists ??

    My script LocaliseM3U should do something similar in Windows.

  • HT1473 I have an EZ Vinyl/Tape Converter (MixMeister) to export vinyl records to iTunes. The computer downloads (records) the songs from the record, but when it is to be exported to iTunes, I get a window that says iTunes unable to export. (compatability?

    I have an EZ Vinyl/Tape Converter (MixMeister) to record vinly records to my computer; which then is supposed to automatically download to my iTunes program. But it does not. It records and stores (somewhere) in the computer, but when it is supposed to be exported into iTones, I get a window that says something about incompatability and/or "close other windows in iTunes; but there are no open windows and iTunes is closed. I followed all instructions to EZ Vinyl to the T, but no export/import to iTunes. What am I doing wrong? What do I need to do? THX!

    Tony, thanks so much. The message reads: "Unable to export to iTunes. Please make sure you close any active windows in iTunes. Would you like to try exporting again? [Yes] [No]"
    And of course I click on Yesl, but I keep getting the same window message. I read somewhere, that MixMeister is not compatible with Apple iTunes 10 series versions. The advice said to go to control panel; Programs; click on iTunes; click on Change; click on Repair. I tried that, but I still get the same window message. Then I read that I should contact the mixmeister support website, which will be my next step. But if you can provide any direction, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks again!

  • Import/Export SMS to/from iPhone have be must in Itunes

    Import/Export SMS to/from iPhone have be must in Itunes

    I have exactly the same problem as David Ting. I just bought a brand new iPhone 4 and just want to do the same thing that I did when moved from Symbian to Windows Mobile and from Windows Mobile to Android: import my old SMS messages and call history to my new device.
    It's a _complete nonsense_ to be incapable of doing a so simple thing in iOS.
    I'm really shocked with this impossibility. I'm starting to think that I just did a very wrong move choosing Apple.

  • How can I stop iTunes from changing tags in Widows 8?

    So, this is not new to Windows 8, I've also had this problem for years with Windows 7 also. However it seems to have gotten worse with Windows 8. I've been hoping Apple would fix this but it has been an ongoing nagging problem with iTunes for as long as I can recall, maybe 2008-ish?
    Here is my problem, I double click a song and the song starts playing and simultaneously disappears. I then realized the song was moved to a duplicate artist name. The reason for this is iTunes has filled in the sorting tag info for "album artist". So they have the same "artist" and "album" but different album artists. So I delete the album artist and they recombine. I then play another song and poof its gone as well. Resorted with a new "album artist". So I fight a never ending battle or keeping my songs grouped correctly because iTunes keeps changing the tags and messing up the sort order.
    The next problem I have is I go though my artist list and find "Santana/Santana" or "Bob Seger/Bob Seger". Why is it changing the artist tag from "artist" to "artist/artist" on my tag? I then see two Bob Seger artists. One has an "album artist" of "Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band" the other is blank since I don't use the "album artist" tag. So for years I'm constantly re-editing tags trying to keep iTunes from separating artists into multiple listings.
    As I said previously lately it is so bad that every time I click a song it vanishes into a new artist album listing creating duplicates. I've disabled every preference I could find and nothing works. So at this point I assume it is an iTunes problem. Am I the only one who has this problem?

    I think even using Get Info may not reveal the change, though it is possible the behaviour has altered since I last tested it. Playing or updating the tracks location in a script such as UpdateTagInfo seems to get iTunes to re-evaluate the tag.
    Assuming WMP is involved it may be best to make the necessary settings adjustments to prevent further changes, use the script to get all of the background changes exposed within iTunes, then correct as you see fit. Alternatively I do have another script called ExportImport that could be used to back up the current state of your tags (you should temporarily rename the media folder during the export phase), after which you would then run UpdateTagInfo and then use ExplortImport in its import mode to restore the corrupted data.

  • Can't export to iTunes anymore

    Been using GB for about six months. Yesterday after finishing a song in GB, I told it to export to iTunes, and it tried...it finished up until the part where iTunes automatically opens and the file appears in iTunes. Instead of that happening, iTunes opened, and I saw in the iTunes status window: "Copying 1 of 1: Bounced" then that failed, then the OSX message "Error: Cannot read or write to disk." I checked the permissions for the HD, and "Read and Write" is NOT highlighted as an option. However, I can save documents anywhere but GB. So I reinstalled all my OSX software, including iTunes. Now iTunes won't open at all--it tries, and then I get a message that it unexpectedly quit. I thought it might be a Library issue, so I tried dragging the library onto the desktop, even the old libraries. Nothing changed. I reinstalled iTunes, but still the same thing. I don't think it's a GB problem, but I really can't tell at this point. I posted a similar question in iTunes, so hopefully someone from one of the forums can help...Please?

    Deauthorization:
    If you have ever purchased songs from the iTunes Music Store, Apple has placed digital rights management copy protection software on your main hard drive (where Mac OS X lives) that identifies you as the legal purchaser of those recordings.
    If you back up your whole hard drive, reformat it and re-install everything, or if you put in a new hard drive and set it up to be your Mac OS X main drive, you lose the right to access any of the iTunes Music Store songs that you have purchased, because you have inadvertently deleted Apple's digital rights management copy protection keys that authorize you as the owner of those recordings you purchased.
    So if you need to do this to your main hard drive, first you must go into iTunes and do a de-authorization. When you set up your new hard drive, you have to re-authorize.
    Apple sez:
    [blockquote]To deauthorize a computer to play songs or spoken word content purchased from the iTunes Music Store, choose Advanced > Deauthorize Account. Then choose "Deauthorize Computer for Music Store Account" and enter your Apple or AOL ID and password.[/blockquote]
    Similar steps have to be taken with many other music programs that utilize copy protection in software, such as Sibelius, SampleTank, Cubase, etc.
    It's confusing because all that Apple and other companies tell you that you must de-authorize and then re-authorize if you move all your files to a new computer. While that's true, it's misleading, because the authorization issue also applies if you move to a new hard drive inside your existing computer.

    I fixed the problem.. but it was very, very strange. I had a very long section for credits and set the line spacing to 1.0.. for some reason this caused it. I removed it, and it worked fine. I put it back, and I couldn't preview or play the video.
    I don't know why that could cause that big of a problem, but it did..

    Set-Up might differ
    • Mac OS - most probably X.7 or more
    • iMovie version - more than iM'11 v. 9.0.4

    • Finalizing project - I never do as I never understood the gain to do so
    • Share as HD to iDVD - never give any gain but if it works the resulting DVD is less quality than if SD-quality was shared
