"filename.aif" is empty! error message when importing long mp3 file

hello everyone,
I am having issues importing large mp3, and even .aiff files into garageband. when I try to import a file that is around 4 hours long - garageband goes through the process of "importing" "converting" and then right at the end - it gives me this: http://idisk.mac.com/digory.mcginn-Public/GB%20error.png
I have managed to get around the problem by importing the file into iTunes, then using a virtual CD drive - burn the file to "a virtual CD." iTunes will create 78 minute long files to fit each CD, and those can be imported to GB, and put back together.
this is long and convoluted, and I would rather not have to do this.
if you've taken a look at the picture I've posted, you'll notice that the time on the timeline is over five hours. I pulled the tempo of the project all the way do to 40 - to create a longer space - but it does not help.
what is really bothering me is that garageband will, yes will allow me to export the project after I've created a bunch of mp3's that is over 6 hours long - but won't let me import one.
I was hoping there is a way to fix this
thanks so much if someone could help!

  • Get an error message when importing from iPhoto says, "There is not enough free space on your Aperture Library volume to import the selected items. It is estimated that you need at least 44GB of free space."

    I get an error message when importing from iPhoto that says, "There is not enough free space on your Aperture Library volume to import the selected items. It is estimated that you need at least 44GB of free space." the drive is empty, I just reformatted it to Mac OSX journaled.

    I'm guessing this is an extrenal drive, correct? If so make sure the library you're importimng into is really located on the external drive. By default Aperture creates its library in your home pictures folder.

    Hi Smash126,
    Based on the error message” Could not allocate a new page for database REPORTING' because of insufficient disk space in filegroup 'PRIMARY'. Create the necessary space by dropping objects in the filegroup, adding additional files to the filegroup, or setting
    autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup”, we can know that the issue is caused by the there is no sufficient disk space in filegroup 'PRIMARY' for the ‘REPORTING’ database.
    To fix this issue, we can add additional files to the filegroup by add a new file to the PRIMARY filegroup on Files page, or setting Autogrowth on for existing files in the filegroup to increase the necessary space.
    The following document about Add Data or Log Files to a Database is for your reference:

    If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

  • Error message when importing CD's into iTunes.

    I've just started getting an error message when importing audio CD's into itunes. +"Error occured while converting the file "........". The disk could not be read from or written to."+ I've been importing CDs for years now and this just started happening last night. The disk image shows up on the desktop, itunes opens and recognizes the disk and searches the database and finds the artist/track names/album etc. Then when I click the import button, I get this message. If I click on the disk image in the desktop and click on a specific file it will play through iTunes. No new changes except for maybe downloading the latest iTunes update. Any suggestions? Thank you very much in advance.

    Every time I import a CD, mp3 is louder then AAC. It's just every so often if I try AAC the volume will be really low. Like barely hearable. Maybe it has to with the fact the CD was released long before AAC format was around? Something to do with compatibility maybe?
    Iron-Mike, MP3 and AAC were both invented well after CD audio and both algorithms are well aware of CD format. Make sure you have "Soundcheck" settings turned on both for iTunes playback and for CD burning. iTunes Soundcheck is supposed to normalize the volumes in spite of variations in the files. Many people have noticed that they don't really work very well, but having them on is better than nothing.

    Don't worry I've sorted it! I just had to turn off Reminders as well in iCloud. Calendar then worked fine, even when I turned Calendar and Reminders back on.

  • Error message when copying a music file from PC to BB

    I get the following error message when copying a music file. Also I cannot delete any files.
    "Cannot copy. The request could not be performed because of an I/O device error."

    Hello lcoyote and welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Do you get the error on all media files or just one in particular? From where are you trying to delete files?
    Is your media card formatted? 
    If you aren't able to add/remove media, try formatting the card as shown in KB10527
    If you currently have photos on the card, try to move them to the computer first as formatting the card will delete all data.
    Let me know how you make out
    Thanks!

  • Error message when importing video

    Hi,
    I receive the following error message when trying to import .flv file in Captivate 6:
    I tried restarting the project several times, as well as creating new flash file, with no luck. This is only a 3-slide project with the video embedded on a slide, and will publish as SCORM.

    Hi all Thanks for the rapid response. However I have sort of found the problem but not the solution. I tried loading direct from the card but that failed in the same way. So I had a think what had changed  and it was only one thing. It has always worked before because I was using my XP desktop machine. I am now using a W7 laptop. So I went back to XP and hey presto, it worked. SO what does that mean? Any ideas?? Only obvious difference is the OS. In answer to why I am loading from Photoshop. I have loaded 150 video clips from the card from a compact camera.( Been on safari!) I am using PS to sort and tag for various things, then send one group to PE . I ended up that route because they loaded into PS and not PE. So in summary:- I cannot load either directly from card or via PS, video clips into PE on W7, but I can on XP. I can load same into PS and view OK in PS on W7. In case you need further info, but I suspect its a windows issue? OS=W7, PE V7, PSV7, On the W7 PC it says...  BIT rate=705kps!,Sample Rate=44khz,Channel count =1 Says image is avi but I thought it was mpeg Nothing else running Its a big fast empty machine, you could have the numbers if you really want but I don't think its relevant Sorry its abit long . Thanks Chris

  • Error Message When Importing Bookmarks From A Network Share

    An error message is generated whenever I try to import bookmarks.html from a network share on kubuntu. This same operation is sucessful on the windows version of firefox.
    To replicate:
    The bookmarks.html is created by Firefox 3.68 on windows 7. And is saved to a network share location. When trying to import this file into firefox 3.6.8 on my kubuntu 10.04 machine, I get the error message/window titled: remote files not accepted. The message states: You can only select local files.
    If I copy bookmarks.html local to the kubuntu machine, it imports without error.
    On windows, I can import bookmarks.html from the network share without error.
    Does anyone know why I can't import across the network on the kubuntu version?
    browser being run on windows 7:
    Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722 Firefox/3.6.8
    browser being run on kubuntu 10.04:
    Firefox 3.6.8 Mozilla Firefox for Ubuntu canonical - 1.0.

    It appears to be any remote file, not just the bookmarks file. When trying to upload a file to a website, firefox threw up the same error:
    error message/window titled: remote files not accepted. The message states: You can only select local files.
    So what is it about files that are sitting on a server, firefox and kubuntu that causes this? I don't get the error message when using win7 on the same files.

  • Error Message When Using a Class Files to Control Navigation

    This is my first attempt at using a class file in a flash project. My intent is to keep all of my navigation elements in class file called "Navigation".  However, I keep getting an error message when I publish.
    I am using a button to go back to the main screen and I gave that button the instance name of "bnt_home". I have also linked that button in the library to the class "Navigation".
    Here is the code:
    package
        import flash.display.SimpleButton;
        public class Navigation extends SimpleButton
            public function Navigation()
                bnt_home.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, goNavigation);
            private function goNavigation(event:MouseEvent):void
                gotoAndPlay(1,"Main");

    When I changed the code I got error (1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: MouseEvent).
    package
        import flash.display.SimpleButton;
        public class Navigation extends SimpleButton
            public function Navigation()
                this.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, goNavigation);

  • Q: Error message when printing Photoshop CS3 file

    I get an error message when I try printing a CS3 photo on my Epson C86 printer, and the resulting print has the wrong colors and luminance levels.
    Error Message = "Some PostScript specific print settings (Interpolation, Calibration, Encoding) will be ignored since you are printing to a non-PostScript printer."
    Any ideas for how to work through this problem?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Chris -
    Thanks for your quick response.
    Do I understand you correctly in saying that Photoshop CS3 has PostScript information that it routinely sends to a printer, and therefore I would need to have a PostScript compatible printer inorder to work with this information (and also for my ColorMunki calibration to work)?
    Based upon what you said, I think my color problems are because the ColorMunki profile for my printer, paper, & ink combination are being ignored.

  • Getting Error Message when importing iTunes Music to iMovie 6?

    Am I missing something? I used to be able to import my iTunes music to a movie creation in iMovie 6. I'm now getting an error message "Error during import. The file could not be imported: The file could not be found."
    I have moved my music to an external drive - don't know if that made a difference.
    Thanks

    Interesting...I have moved my iTunes music onto the external drive probably six months ago. That music still works off the external via iTunes. I just looked in iTunes and my preferences are showing my local drive to store music. And recent music that I have purchased (last few months) is showing in the local drive. When I picked one of the songs from the local it works.
    So now I guess the question is what will happen if I move the music from the local to the external and reset the preferences in iTunes. It should work right?
