Fixing a messed up setup song

Hey all,
I accidentally started a new song without starting a project, so I now have a bunch of sound files in the main hard drive directory, outside the directory I created for the song. I want to clean it up, and from what I can tell so far, I need to move the files manually and re-import them into their own respective track... is this true or false? Is there a way that is not as obvious to do this? I don't mind doing it because the track names are clear and easy to know where things go, but wanted to know if there was a magic button that says "clean up song into project" or something like that. I can't seem to find one.
(man Apple needs to really consolidate the menus, some of this stuff is a real mess to find and follow)

Hi, R
File -> Project -> Consolidate
Kinda like a retroactive 'Save as Project.'

Agreed. Especially preferences.

  • Is there a fix for skipping or repeating songs, or for the voice over to come on without pushing any buttons?

    I only use this 5th generation Shuffle when I run. I don't have headphone issues because I use running headphones meant to handle sweat. However, my Shuffle will, halfway through a song, go back to the beginning, play a few seconds and jump back to the beginning again. Also, when this starts happening, the Voice-over comes on again and again with no buttons being pushed. I keep the Shuffled clipped to the waistband of my running shorts, so it probably does get a little sweatty, but not like it would if it were clipped to the collar of my shirt!
    Is this a problem I'm going to have to live with? I never had this issue with my old Shuffle, which was the first of the clip-on Sheffles.

    Hi punisherbv,
    Are you using the beta? it's not fully secure, so try using Firefox 3 instead. If you are already using Firefox 3, it seems like what Firefox is saying is correct- the site is not supplying identity information. So what you could do is go to that exact site, then click on the little golden lock at the very corner of the page. Then, enter the 'permissions' tab and allow everything. Exit, and then try bookmarking the page!

  • My music is completely messed up: many songs shortened to 3:01, many songs in different versions. Should I delete all and reimport all my purchases? Or is there a more elgant way of cleaning the media center?

    I think you should just rebuild your library.
    Clear it out, then drag all the song files back in. You'll lose your ratings and playcounts, etc but I don't see what else you can do.

  • Tried to make a ringtone, I messed up the song

    I tried to make a ringtone and now the song I as using will only play for 3 seconds. Even if I play it in the store, it will only play for 3 seconds. After I adjusted the start and stop time, it did not give me the short copy of that song. I have messed up 2 song actually.

    Which step are you having trouble?
    Go to iTunes prefs > General & set the Import options to AAC.
    In iTunes, find the song you want and note the start/stop times you want the ring tone to be.
    Right click > get info, click the Options tab and set the start/stop times as above. (Note a ~40 second max for ringtones)
    Right click > Create AAC version. This creates a new file in iTunes.
    Drag this new file from the iTunes window to the desktop.
    Delete the file from iTunes and also select Delete from hard drive.
    On the desktop, rename the file whateveryouwant.m4r (first part you can change to whatever you want & change the extension to .m4r).
    Drag the file back to the iTunes library at top left.
    Make sure iTunes prefs > General has Tones ticked.

    If you bought the music with another itunes account, then you will have to authorize the computer for that account.

  • I recently purchased a song and my entire song library was deleted after it downloaded. The photos and aps are still there, but no tunes. Anyone know how to fix this? I have songs loaded on the ipod that I don't want to loose and they are not in MY itunes

    I recently purchased a song from itunes and when the song downloaded, it deleted/removed my entire song library. Only leaving the one song.
    My photos and aps are still there, but no songs. Anyone ever encounter this and how do you fix it? I  don't want to loose my songs as some are not in MY itunes library. Help

    If the songs are still on your ipod, make sure autosync is disabled in iTunes on your computer, connect and right click on it in the device list, then choose "transfer purchases" to copy all bought media and apps from your ipod to your computer.
    If the songs are not on your computer and got deleted from your ipod as well, you can't get them back, unless you have a backup of your iTunes library as part of your computer backup.

  • Is there ANY way to fix lousy volume on iTunes songs?

    I've tried everything, it seems. Various songs purchased from the iTunes store (and some transferred from CDs) have seriously weak volume -- not just in "quiet" passages but often the entire song. Yes, I've tried boosting the volume in the iTunes "Get Info" menu, but the effect is insufficient. Raising the volume enough to play in a car can produce awful distortion and won't compensate for those quiet passages in classical music, soundtracks, or pop songs from the 1930s-1950s. That can be fixed only with a sound processing application.
    I have tried the third party software recommended elsewhere in these forums, and none of them work on Apple's "Protected" music. I did have success with Sound Studio 2.2.1 about two years ago. But I had to replace it with version 3, and it just doesn't seem to work. It won't open iTunes music unless it's first transferred to a CD. And then I haven't been able to load the edited songs back into the iTunes Library. iTunes either fails to find the edited music or it substitutes the original unedited version.
    Within the Sound Studio application, the music sounds beautiful after applying the Normalize and Compression filters. But I cannot get iTunes to accept those versions even after saving them under different names.
    To date, I have spent considerable dollars and hours trying to fix about two dozen 99-cent songs, without success. I don't want an iTunes refund on my 99-cent songs; I just want to be able to listen to them in my car.
    I suppose copyright concerns may be at the root of this problem, but who else except a buyer is going to fix these old songs to make them worth even 99 cents?
    I'm a big fan of iTunes. It has made it possible to restore a music collection that previously wasn't available to me, and most of it sounds great. But I wish I could find a way to fix that handful of old favorites. Does anyone have a solution to this?

    I'm happy to report that Sound Studio has corrected its part of the problem, and an updated version is available on its web site: freeverse.com/soundstudio/
    I also discovered that attempts to adjust individual song volumes in the Get Info menu won't work if the Sound Check option is selected in Preferences (duh!).
    Further good news is Apple's announcement of an arrangement to offer unprotected versions of BMI music in the iTunes store for an extra 30 cents per song. It would be well worth it, in my opinion, if all the music companies agreed to the arrangement, thereby streamlining the task of transferring problem songs to editing programs like Sound Studio.
    One minor glitch remains. To differentiate between original and edited versions of a song, I usually append a number to the name. But when I import the edited version back into the iTunes library, iTunes automatically changes the name back to the original. I can tell the difference by referring to other clues in the library file, but not in the abbreviated iPod menu. I could delete the unedited version from the library or, better, create playlistys consisting of only the edited versions.
    Thanks to all who contributed to this discussion. I hope others benefit from it as I did.
    P.S.: I did download Max, which works fine for its intended purposes.

  • I am trying to join icloud so my songs download onto my ipod..keep getting 5 pc are authorized...I have only 4 laptops...pc died 2 yrs ago .. how do I fix so I can download songs

    I use 4 laptops...2 in NH and 2 in MA..I use my ipod when I travel..I recently purchased songs( in MA) and plugged in the ipod (in NH)to download them and they did not transfer...so I thought maybe I never put this laptop on Icloud...so I decided to join and was informed  that I have  5 pc"s authorized and that I have to deauthorize one...well......here is my problem..... my pc (which was used) died 2 yrs ago and was replaced with the 4th laptop..I have been thru many pc's since starting with Itunes and they have all been replaced with laptops...not one was ever deauthorized...how do I deauthorize if I don't have it. I(do I have to repurchase alblum) and how do I get my music on this Ipod
    thanks   Nanamarg

    For computers: You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. Otherwise you can "deauthorize all" from your iTunes account.
    Open iTunes on a computer
    From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
    Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
    Under "Computer Authorizations" select "Deauthorize All".
    Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "deauthorize all" your authorized computers, authorize each one as required.
    It is also possible to have mistakenly authorized a computer more than once. To fix that:
    Open iTunes.
    From the Store menu, choose "Deauthorize This Computer…"
    Enter your account name and password.
    Click OK. A message appears reading "This computer has been successfully deauthorized."
    Click OK.
    Repeat steps 2 through 5 above. If you see the same message reading: "This computer has been successfully deauthorized," then your computer was using multiple authorizations.
    Repeat steps 2 through 5 above until you see a message reading "This computer was not authorized. To authorize this computer, play a song or video you have purchased using this account."

  • Any fix for random art and song order problems after adding new music?

    If I sync my touch with itunes as a restore, all cover art, albums and playlists are correct. Once I add anything new or make a change and re-sync, random cover art is missing and random songs are in the wrong order. The only way to fix the problems is through a complete restore. Has anyone else had this problem or figured out a fix? I am using the latest itunes on a PC with XP.

    A few issues, but sorry let me try to understand.
    Adding new music, 'XXXX's iPod cannot be written or read'' can you let me know the number. most likely music format is not iPod Compatible like HE-AAC.
    started skipping songs  - these are normally due to corrupted ID3 tags, try converting them -File-> Advance -> IPOD version or use MP3 validator to fix all songs in the library. (My Apologies, only work for MP3 music that skipped)
    As for item 2, you can try Hard Reset if you like to download MP3 validator.
    After charging till full charge, at least 2 hours (preferably 4 hours)
    Toggle the Hold switch, make sure you dont see the red mark when you do the  next step
    Reset the iPod -> Press Menu and Center button simultaneously for about 10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON
    Then release the buttons
    Select your preferred language.

  • How do i fix the shuffle feature for songs?

    When I select shuffle, some songs are played many many times and some are never played.  How do I fix this?

    Try stopping the Music app, then resetting the phone:  double-tap the home button, locate Music at the bottom (swipe if necessary), tap and hold it until it wiggles, tap the minus sign.  Not reset: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), then release.  Try shuffle again.

  • Fixing a Messed-With Library

    I tried in August to make a slide show out of an album, noticed that some of the photos were not actually appearing, and the slide show won't start. Just now getting around to fixing it, found a notice that it is not OK to mess with the data in my iPhoto library, as it will make images not show up. Needless to say, I have messed with the data, now how do I go about fixing it? I renamed stuff, probably moved it around, all of the things you aren't supposed to do. Now what?

    The reason I went in and changed names and such was to more easily find the photos to attach in an email or to upload to a photo site.
    There is a much better way to do this than fishing around in the iPhoto Library folder.
    Use iPhoto to select the photos for your email (or to upload to a website, or to burn to disc for printing). Then Export the photos to a folder on your desktop. During the export you can also resize them, to make them smaller for email or websites. You can also have the exports renamed by the iPhoto title or album name. Use the exported copies to attach to your email or website. When you're done you can delete the desktop copies, as the full-sized files are still safe inside your iPhoto library.

  • I accidentally changed the artist and album title for half my library. How can I fix the metadata on these songs?

    I am using Match.  I have tried Tagalicious, as well as a script someone wrote to fix metadata, but they only caught about a third of the mis-tagged songs.  Can anyone suggest a way to fix all of the metadata?  Is there some kind of automated Shazam type thing that will analyze the track and identify it and update the tags?
    Thanks!

    I have a script called ExportImport for this task, but it only runs in Windows.
    In principle something similar should be possible in AppleScript, but I don't currently have access to a Mac to write it myself.
