Garabage Band not importing files from iTunes correctly

I am working a project with a lot of sound files that I recorded using another computer. I imported them to iTunes. I was able this morning to go ahead and use the files with no problems, but now it is messing up.
It imports every file as exactly the same from the media browser. They play ok in the preview and are the correct files but when I drag them in, it turns them into the same file.
What went wrong? How can I fix it?

I figured out my own problem! What was going on was that the music files were saved for some reason in the .mov format. The program I used to record it (Wiretap Studio) must have done this. Why I set this to .mov, I don't know.
However, the solution is simple and easy. Resave all files as another format. I choose wav to be on the safe side. And it imported nicely!
Hope this helps anyone else that comes up with this weird error!

    iTunes will only import music from your phone that was purchased from the iTunes store.  To transfer music from other sources you have to use 3rd party software, such as PhoneView.

    Did you try unchecking Sync Photos on the Photos tab of your sync settings and syncing?  If this doesn't remove them, try creating an empty folder on your PC, then selecting to sync this folder on the Photos tab and syncing your phone.  This should delete the existing photos prior to syncing the empty folder.
    Also, you can transfer these photos to your computer if you need to by using an app like PhotoSync.

  • ITunes 11.2 not importing files from Automatically Add to iTunes

    I am in the process (99.9% done) of moving my iTunes data from a NAS to an attached hard drive. I have it set up and working fine with the exception of the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder is not moving files into the iTunes Library. I have adjusted the folder/subfolder "Sharing and Permissions" for the Media Folder to make sure that everyone has read and write permsissions. I have made sure that iTunes is pointing to the correct folder for the iTunes Media Folder.

    What about if you keep it as simple as possible and copy a test file into the iTunes folder, then drag it from there to Automatically?  Is the folder doing it for anything anywhere?  That folder is somewhat special and does not like being relocated.  If it works for a file under a simple scenario then you can try adding complexity.

  • Itunes not importing songs from CD correctly

    Using the 'import cd' button - itunes appears to import the music but when i click to play a song - nothing happens! It seems that i only have the song titles. There are no 'rights' or 'CD player' issues as the CD's can be imported quite happily onto someone elses itunes and I can play the CD's using Windows media player - so this definitely seems to be an itunes issue. I am on the latest 7.0 version
    Any suggestions please!??

    Issues were related to autoplay being disabled in Windows. To me, this is an issue that iTunes needs to fix. Autoplay shouldn't be a requirement in order to have cd importing work smoothly.

  • I can not import files into Itunes.

    I can not import my music and video files from the my documents folder to Itunes. When I try the file will not show up in Itunes.

    Could you give us a little more specific information as to the source & format of these files? Those 2 things might be causing the problem.

  • IMovie 10 Can NOT Import Files from Older iMovie Projects

    I have older iMovie projects on an external drive and want import/upgrade them to iMovie 10.
    After choosing the old projects, iMovie 10 examines the old projects for a while and then gave me a list of files that it cannot import. The files I remember on the very long list are .plist and iMovie project files.
    Should I be concerned?  In other words, is iMovie 10 now using a new file format that makes these files superfluous?  Will iMovie going to incorporate their information in the new architecture, or will some functionality be missing from the imported projects?
    I'm running iMovie 10.0.2 on OSX 10.9.2 on a 27" iMac.
    Thank you for your time and attention.

    I'm going through my old iMovie projects and importing them one-at-a-time into iMove '11 (ver 9.0.9, build 1795)
    I don't know the version of the projects that I'm importing but they have this directory structure and have file creation dates in 2007:
      Unfortunately, when I import them, I lose most of the editiing that from the old project:
    In case you can't read the area in red, it says:
    Notes about the imported project:
    All transitions wll be replaced by Cross Dissolves.
    Titles and music tracks will not be imported.
    Video effects will not be imported.
    Isn't there a way to import older iMovie projects in their entirety and completely intact?
    Thank you for your time and attention.

  • "Entitlements are not valid" error message when trying to sync ipa file from iTunes to iPad

    Is anyone else getting this error message, "Entitlements are not valid",  when trying to sync .ipa file from iTunes to iPad?
    The issue I'm having is getting the ipa file that was built by the 'Adobe Flash Packager for Iphone' installed into my iPad.
    So, I have a swf file that works and was able to publish it into the Android Market.  I then compiled and build the same flash project with the Packager for Iphone into an .ipa file.  But when I try and install this .ipa file into my iPad to do my testings, i'm getting the error message. 
    I would like to test my ipa file in my iPad device before submitting it to the Apple Store.
    Any help would be appreciated. thank you.

    Developing for iphone can be amazingly complicated and frustrating.  (even before you start coding).  The process of having to create a Certificate, to approving the Certificate, to Assigning the deviceIDs to the certificate, to creating the AppIDs, to creating the provisioning profiles and then creating the .p12 file... is just too tedious. 
    I solved the problem of the "Entitlements are not valid".   The AppID i had set in the iPhone Developer Portal did not match that of the AppID i had set in the Adobe Flash CS5 -> Publish Settings.  (ie. com.yourdomainname.yourappname).  After I re-entered my AppID and compile, i was able to sync the .ipa file into my ipad. 
    I wish the error message had been a little more descriptive.  Could have saved me a whole day.
    I hope this helps others.  But my guess is, if you don't set the 40 character device ID correctly, or the email in the signingcertificate correctly, you'll get this same generic error message.

  • Import Files into iTunes: Why not mp3?

    I created a simple workflow and saved it as a Finder plug-in. Two questions:
    1) Anyone know why iTunes allows (under +Add to Library+) the import of mp3 files, but when creating an Automator workflow using the +Import Files into iTunes+, the mp3 option is not supported. In other words, you have to use a different Automator function like +Add Songs to Playlist+. This works too, but it takes a long time because iTunes has to convert each file to AAC. The +Add to Library+ function in iTunes is wicked fast, and I don't care what format the files are in.
    2) After creating a Finder plug-in and wanting to delete it, where does it live? I can't find it. Spotlight can't find it. I just want to remove it.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the reply, red. It seems that +Import Audio Files+ supports mp3, but the description on the +Import Files into iTunes+ doesn't specifically include mp3. I suppose a quick test will reveal. The original reason for the question is that the Automator workflow seems to force a conversion of each mp3 file -- even when choosing the mp3 option in +Import Audio Files+ -- which obviously slows down the process.
    When from iTunes I choose Add to Library, navigate to the target folder and click OK, iTunes completes the 80-or-so files in no time.
    Thanks for the tip on where to find the plug-in. I deleted it. The Automator desktop apps seem to work better.

  • I can not import photos from PC to my Ipad, it says iTunes will no longer sync photos to the iPad

    I can not import photos from my PC to the iPad, it says  iTunes will no longer sync photos to the iPad

    YES Terence!  Thank you. Exporting allowed me to move my photos from iPhoto into the Burn Folder on my desktop.   But that doesn't explain why I'm having to go that route now.   Have I done something (accidentally changed some setting) on my computer that will not allow me to just click and drag anymore?   I really liked the convenience of the click and drag option. 
    I don't have the time tonight to export and burn a lot of CD/DVDs.  I'll try that tomorrow and make sure my photos are moving properly.  I also need to export photos to my external hard drive to make sure that route is working. 
    Wouldn't you know that my Apple Care Plan runs out this Wednesday?!  I need to make sure everything is working properly before that expires. 
    Thank you so much for your help.   I really, really appreciate it.

  • I imported files from an external hard drive to Itunes on a new computer.  they imported & play fine, but the ratings & playlists are gone & i am unable to update any info.  I found a file name playlist on old drive & imported now most files are missing!

    Can you locate the iTunes Library.itl file on the old drive? Ideally you would have simply copied over the entire iTunes folder structure from <User's Music> on the old computer into <User's Music> on the new one to transfer the library will all playlists, ratings, play counts etc. intact.

  • "Import Files into iTunes" automator action not working

    I'm having an issue with a simple automator action, "Import Files into iTunes". It's the only thing I have in the workflow but when I drop audio files onto the application, the action encounters an error. In trying to figure out what was amiss, I read that there was a version number conflict after iTunes 10, so I followed the instructions here but they did not fix the issue. Does anyone have a suggestion on what to try or how to diagnose the issue? I'm running Yosemite (10.10.2) and iTunes 12.1.0.50. Thanks for the help!

    Yeah, I'd happy provide details if I saw them. The message itself just says, "The action “Import Files into iTunes” encountered an error." Is there a way to get more information on the error?
    Thanks!

  • How do I import audio files from itunes to my project?

    I know this could be very easy, I've imported music files from disc to projects before, but they keep going off line. So I want to find out an easier/better process to import music files from itunes into my FCP projects.

    #5 Imported music from CD or iTunes
    Shane's Stock Answer #5:
    To get music into FCP, it needs to be an AIFF file at 48khz, 16 bit stereo. So if you want a song from a CD, you go into the iTunes Preferences and set this up under the IMPORTING tab:
    File > preferences > importing > import using - AIFF encoder > Setting - Custom
    Sample Rate - 48.000 kHz
    Sample size - 16 bit
    Channels - Stereo
    If you have an mp3 that you want to use, then you can convert it thru iTunes as well.
    If the piece of music you want to use is something you purchased thru iTunes, I'm afraid I can't help you there. There are copywrite issues that prevent files from being converted into the format that FCP can recognize.

  • Deleted files from iTunes not showing in Trash Can

    Hi there,
    I am experiencing a problem where if I delete a track or podcast from iTunes and select the option Move to Trash, it does not show up in my Trash Can on the dock unless I open TC in Finder. Only then the TC logo on the dock shows that TC is not empty. Is this something that only I am experiencing? Any help to explain why this is and how to remedy it would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    DeMarHc

    I have found that if I delete files from iTunes, I don't see paper showing in the trash indicating that something is there, but if I click the icon for the trash, the paper will suddenly appear...and opening the folder to view what's in the trash shows that the deleted song is, indeed, there.
