GarageBand 10 won't export 37 second ringtone?

Okay, trying to make a new ringtone for my iPhone.
I'm adhering to the less than 40 second rule, but for some reason it won't let me export it to iTunes.
When I auto adjust it makes the track ~27 seconds. Any advice on how to fix or workaround? Seems like a bug.

Agreed. Seems like a bug. In the workaround I found, I discovered that the AIFF version was a few seconds longer in iTunes than in GB, and converting to AAC in iTunes added a few more seconds more. Seems like someone has some math wrong somewhere.
Here's the workaround:
1. In GB, export to iTunes as a song in AIFF format.
2. Find the song in iTunes, right click and select convert to AAC.
3. Right click on the AAC version, select show in Finder.
4. Rename the extension on the file from .m4a to .m4r.
5. In iTunes, find the AAC version and delete it, but keep the file.
6. In Finder, double click on the .m4r version, iTunes will import it as a ringtone.
7. Sync to iPhone and enjoy.
8. You can delete the AIFF version, including the file from iTunes if you like.

Garageband won't export full song

I share song with iTunes, but when I play the song back in iTunes, the last 4-5 seconds aren't there. When I play the song back in Garageband the full song is there. I don't understand the difference. Please help.

The problem is that I have recorded 51 seconds of guitar and then thought wow that riff sounds good and so I looped it to 2 minutes in length.
Are you sure that not a single region is highlighted in the track area, when you are exporting?
All regions should have a dark color. Click in the track area below all tracks to seselect all regions.
When I am sharing to iTunes and really no region is selected, and the Cycle region off, GarageBand will export the song up the the end-of-song marker.

GarageBand 10.0 Only creates 20 second ringtones, even though the help says 40 seconds

All -
I just upgraded my iMac 3.06 to Mavericks, and downloaded the 10.0 GarageBand. Before a hard drive failure I had the version of iLife that came with my iMac with that version of GarageBand - lost the install disc, etc etc.
I used to create and still have 30-40 second long iPhone ringtones from that version. This recent version of GarageBand allows me to supposedly create up to a 40 second ringtone just like before. I create a 29 second segment and click Export to Ringtone. It pops up the warning about the index needing to be 40 seconds or less, since have a 29 second segment I let it adjust it and it chops off past 20 seconds, and inserts silence for the last couple seconds of the resulting ringtone resulting in about an 18-1/2 second ringtone.
It shouldn't matter what version of iOS or iPhone I have should it? I have an iPhone 5 and iOS 7.0.3

Oops: I meant CONTROL + OPTION + G for the first tip.

Exporting iPhone Ringtones from iLife09 - Garageband.

Hey all,
Having a slight hassel getting Garageband to export iPhone ringtones to iTunes... I have the latest updates for all programs, and I'm following the same process that used to work in iLife 08, it just doesn't seem to work.
Aside from this little thing not working for me, the program is A1!
Any ideas would be helpful.
Cheers,
Dave.

I'll respond seeing as I'm having exactly the same issue. I create a sub 30 second loop, choose export ringtone to iTunes. A blue progress bar tells me the ringtone is being made, iTunes is booted and lo and behold, nothing appears in the ringtones area. More annoyingly, I have I've sucessfully done this before, but about 3 months ago it stopped working. I updated to iLife '09 (from '08) with no effect. I've downloaded M4r files from the web and dragged them into iTunes with no problem, but it refuses to play when exporting from Garageband. I don't think it's a protected file issue because I'm trying to do it with copyright free loops from Garageband.
HELP!

Podcast won't export from Garageband to iWeb

Hi all
Help appreciated with this. I do a two hour music podcast (www.whatyouwantradio.com also available at http://soundcloud.com/whatyouwant-radio) which is created in Garageband and then exported to iWeb for uploading to my website. I've been running this, with few problems, since April 2009.
Recently the garageband podcast won't export to iWeb. It's random, and I seem to have been able to bypass it by changing the filename slightly, or adjusting the quality at which it is exported (I like to export at 320mps for best quality - big files but no complaints from the 100 or so listeners. Could be more - who knows as I can't get stats from iTunes. But I digress). However, the most recent podcast, which is already available on Soundcloud, just won't export. It goes through the motions (mixdown etc.) but nothing appears on iWeb on the other side. No error message, nothing. I know that memory has also been an issue in the past but right now there is plenty to spare (5.37GB at last glance).
I'd really be grateful for some help on this, I'm at a bit of a loss - no error message, no clue. As I say, this podcast has been going for nearly three years and it's only recently I've had this problem.
Cheers,
Stuart

Just a further note on this. I tried a couple more times yesterday to export the file. Starting out with over 5GB of memory, by the time I had tried twice this had gone down by a couple of GB. Still no export. This morning I noticed some new files in the trash that were from around the time of the failed exporting:
Note sure if you can see that, but I'm guessing the files are something to do with the failed export? Does anyone have any thoughts? Either way, this problem is still annoying the **** out of me...

OMF won't export out of final cut pro.

Exporting a 93min 1920x1080 HD timeline to OMF
5 second handles tried 2 second handles as well.
OMF won't export out of final cut pro. Get error message there is a 2 gb limit.
Final cut 6.0.6
Have deadline. Didn't see it on any forum. Help!! Thanks!!

Seems like a weird thing to not be able to do since it's called final cut PRO...
Bagging on Final Cut Pro for OMF? HA! OMF has been around LONG BEFORE FCP was introduced. It isn't an FCP issue...OMF technology is VERY old. Over 20 years I believe. I used it on Avid...and it always had a 20GB limit.
You cannot deliver 1 track via OMF. You can ask the audio person. I know that Avid now allows you to export an AAF...but FCP doesn't do AAF. For embedded audio I think that OMF is the only way. SO you have to work within the limitations of that format.

Cropped song settings won't export to slideshow

For some reason, my start/stop time settings for individual songs in itunes won't export to an iphoto slideshow. Is there another way to do this?

David,
Your right. Changes made to the stop and start time of songs in iTunes don't seem to have any effect in iPhoto.
I suppose one work around would be to first burn the music for your slide show to a music CD and then reimport the tracks.
You could also use iMovie, GarageBand or a third party app like Sound Studio to actually edit the tracks (probably best to edit copies of the tracks) and then reimport the edited tracks back into iTunes.
Kind of a hassle. I'll continue to think a bout a more elegant solution.

QT won't export to WMV

I made a movie out of a powerpoint presentation, and it exported into .mov file just fine. But it won't export as a .wmv file. I've tried every one of the settings, but it only captures the first 25 seconds or so.
PPC G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) 1GHZ, 640 RAM

Export from QuickTime Pro to WMP formats is not a part of the standard QT Pro install.
It is enabled by the http://flip4mac.com component. To export more than 30 seconds you must purchase the upgrade for their product.

Won't export!

My movies on Imovie HD won't export fully. They export the first 20ish seconds then the frame freezes but the audio keeps going :S
what's going on and how to I fix it?
thanks

Hi
Two first thoughts:
• The free space on Your internal hard disk - less than 10Gb - try make it 25Gb or more
• What material did You feed iMovie ?
• streamingDV from a miniDV tape Camera. Thats what it's intended to be feed.
. avi, .wmv, .mp4 etc. Gives all kinds of problems and needs to be converted to
streamingDV to behave OK
• Audio is the same:
• from miniDV Camera or .aiff (eg CD disc)
.mp3, direktly from iTunes etc. Problematic and most often needs to be converted to .aiff

Garageband won't open after downloading Lion, what should I do?

I downloaded Lion from the app store, now my garageband won't open. Also I use Pro tools 8.4 and that won't work either!
I would appreciate any help or advice.

If it is the third party apps crashing - try downloading another app - any free app is fine. See if that resets the other apps.

ATI Radeon 4870 won't detect second display

ATI Radeon 4870 won't detect second display I have a sony that come up as a sdm-hs95p and a asus that i want to connect they both have vga and both have conveters vga to dvi and on the asus it also has a dvi to mini dp because on the graphics card it has dvi and mini dp

You can't use more than one converter per display.
You need to get single converter that connects directly from the Mac port to the display.

InDesign CS5 won't export to PDF

It won't export to PDF. What can I do about this? Many thanks.

Oh, sorry. Forgot about the specifics.

New Quicktime 7.6.6 (1671) won't export WAV files

HELP! - New Quicktime 7.6.6 (1671) won't export WAV files. I just did the automatic upgrade to the new version of Quicktime and now I can't export WAV files from a CAF file. The original .CAF file plays perfectly but when I attempt to export it the exported file is corrupted and won't play. I have another computer with the previous version of Quicktime and it exports the same file flawlessly. Anyone know what's going on with the new version? THANKS!

+Error writing to the file: C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesMiniPlayer.Resources\nb.lproj\iTunesMiniPlayerLocalized.dll. Verify that you have access to that directory.+
More often than not, that sort of message indicates file damage rather than a privileges issue on the file.
If you've got Windows XP, try doing a chkdsk over your C drive, as per:
How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
If you've got Vista, try the following procedure. Go "Start > Computer". Right-click on "Local Disk C:" and select "properties". Click the "Tools" tab. Click the "Check now" button in the "Error correction" section.
Do the disk checks find/repair any damage? If so, does an install go through properly afterwards?

FCP won't export M2V

I am running FCP Studio and trying to export an m2v. I recently upgraded my G5 and basically put my old hard drives right into the new G5 box. Since I did that, FCP asked for a serial number again, and I entered it. OK. Now I am trying to export the Mpeg2 and it says it can't export until DVD studio Pro is serialized - but then I run DVD studio pro and it IS serialized and registered. Restart did not fix it. FCP just can't seem to tell that DVD studio pro is already serialized and won't export. Should I trash my preferences? FCP or DVD studio pro or both? Any suggestions?

FYI....
Trying to uninstall DVD Pro and then re-installing it will not work! I ran through this problem when I upgraded to FCP Studio. The issue lies between DVD Pro and QT7, it is a bug that apple is currently trying to resolve.
I spent numerous hours on the phone with apple to get this issue resolved. The best work around at the moment is going through Compressor and making a M2V. Compressor will retain your chapter markers from FCP no worries.
The only issue is time, it takes longer using compressor but the quality is 100x better because you have more control of the VBP.
Good Luck

After update, Garageband won't detect midi keyboard.

After upgrading to Lion, Garageband won't detect my midi keyboard. I've already scanned for it in the Audio midi utility. It worked fine before the update. Does anyone know a solution?

Maybe you should tell us what "the keyboard" is.

One font won't export

Hi, all. Sorry if this is basic--I'm just a simple artist-designer, and am less skilled at software management and presets.
I just reinstalled my ID CS4 on a new-to-me machine running OSx Mountain Lion. For an unknown reason, the software now won't export the Helvetica Neue Regular font (all other fonts in the typeface are FINE.) 'Regular' exports as lines of boxes. HNeue has been my go-to for many years, and I'd rather not reformat all of my old stuff. Thoughts?
HNeue Regular shows up in fontbook, and I already tried 'restore system fonts.' Also set "Subset all Fonts" to 0%. I have no idea what this means, but the internet told me to do it.
Thanks for your ideas. This is really messing me up.
Emily

Saw this post and thought it can be easily fixed but I haven't worked on a Mac for about 10 years. I'm sure there's someone that can help.
The only thing I would suggest trying is disabling it in your Font Management and copying the font to your system Fonts folder.
