Garageband and iTunes--Stereo Issues

I am using a Mac Mini from 2006 and Garageband 3.0.4 for podcasting. And the problem I am having is after I record the podcast, in playback it only plays through the left speaker. The pan is in the center position and trying to compensate by pushing it more to the right only makes the recording go mute.
However, after I save it, send it to iTunes, and convert it to an mp3, it plays back "kinda" in stereo. But, much more of the sound still comes through the left speaker. To even it out, I have to move the Mac Mini's slider a bit to the right to get volume coming out equal in both speakers. How do I get it to a point where when I save and convert the file, sound comes out of both speakers equally.
I should add, I use music at the beginning and the end which was originally recorded in stereo and it sounds just fine. So, the podcast starts with the music in full 50/50, left-right, stereo. But, then when my voice starts, the balance is like 70/30, left-right. How do I change this?
Please note: I don't believe this is a "Pan" problem I have fiddled with the knob in the Male Voice track and it makes no difference what I do except make it worse. I save the file as a Micro 64kb file in "Save As" and Export to iTunes as a Voice Podcast. In iTunes, I convert it in Custom mode so it is a 64kps file. And a 30 minute podcast ends up being about 14mb.
What am I doing wrong?

  • Isolating Instal of Garageband and iTunes

    I have a general iLife06 question. I'm doing a fresh System install. I only want Garageband and iTunes installed. Can they be isolated and if so, will My Computer sometimes throw Errors expecting to see the missing iLife06 Programs (since it's such a common Software Package on all Macs) ? Thanks, MLR

    Just do a custom install, you should be able to select which apps you want installed. You shouldn't get any errors if you don't install the other apps.

  • Session Time out and iTunes login issues

    I am trying to put a digital copy of an Alvin and the Chipmunks DVD into iTunes for holiday tomorrow for my daughters. The redeem code screen comes up fine in iTunes but then next screen after that always says "Session Timeout" your session has timed out.
    All computers (3 macs) are also having issues logging into itunes as it keeps asking for my password, logs me in for about 10 seconds to view my account but then seems to log out immediately. I think this might be the issue.
    I have tried signing out of app store and itunes on all computers in case that was an issue but still remains.
    HELP! I really want to get this sorted today but am now frustrated at 2 hours of trying everything I can think of.
    Thanks

  • IPad and iTunes Capacity Issue/Application Install Issue

    I've just spent the past hour trying to figure out why iTunes 10 is reporting I have 17.9GB of video although the iPad itself is saying I have 0 videos.
    I am not syncing any music videos, movies, TV shows, Podcasts or content from iTunes U.
    The iPad Free Space indicator is reporting I have 8.9GB avail, but counting video as using 17.9GB of my iPad's total capacity.
    Anyone else?
    I'm also trying to add Photogene to my iPad via iTunes and keep getting an error message indicating I need a newer version of iPad software to install, although I do have the most recent version. Seems like iTunes 10 issues.

    There seems to be some reports that iTunes is reporting the wrong numbers for the free space, thought that's not happening to me (as best as I can tell) on my iPhone and iPad.
    As for Photogene, my guess is that you're trying to install the iPhone version on your iPad. The iPhone version only works on iOS 4.0, so can't be installed on the iPad. There is an iPad version, but you have to buy it separately.

  • HT2305 I want to upgrade IMovie, IPhoto, Garageband and ITunes. My MacBookAir is one year old. But what are the prices for updates?

    My MacBookAir is one year. I want to upgrade IMovie, IPhoto, Garageband and ITues, But What are the prices for these upgrades. How do I get around?

    Actually, if you are updating the free iLife apps (iPhoto, iMovie & GarageBand) that came with your new Mac, the updates are free. Only if you are upgrading to newer major paid versions would you be charged.
    iTunes is always free, but is located in Apple Downloads, not the Mac App Store;

  • How can I resolve iPod Touch 4th gen charging and iTunes connection issue?

    I have an iPod Touch 4th generation and the other day it stopped charging.  When I pug it in, it appears to be receiving a minimal charge to keep it alive, but isn't restoring the battery life and doesn't show that the battery is accepting the charge.  After plugging it in for a day, the battery was only partially charged to approximately 20%.  I've tried several USB cables and different plug-ins to no avail.
    Then I tried to connect it to the computer and iTunes doesn't recognize it.  I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Apple Device Manager and iTunes software, and resetting the iPod.  I've also tried holding the sleep and home buttons at the same time while connecting the iPod to the computer with iTunes software open.  Nothing seems to work.  I have other iPods/iPhones that connect to iTunes without issue, so it is isolated event with this iPod Touch.  I was hoping to restore the iPod to its original settings to see if that would do the trick, but am unable to figure out how without iTunes.  Any suggestions?  help! 

    Not Charge
    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    and/or
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Move audio between GarageBand and iTunes on iPad WITHOUT syncing to a computer?

    Is it possible to transfer audio on my iPad from GarageBand to iTunes WITHOUT syncing with a computer?  Specifically, I would like to edit some audio for an iMovie project.  I feel like I should be able to take an audio track from iTunes, chop it in GarageBand, send it back to iTunes, and then use it in iMovie without being dependent on a separate machine.  Am I dreaming too big here?

    I guess I wasn't completely understanding what exactly you would like to do. The article HT4972 refers to updating your software, and you are right it does not explain how to back up the contents of your ipad and restore and there should be a link within the article for that. The following article we explain how to restore your ipad software and there's link to an article expalining how to back up. Make sure your version of itunes is completely up to date, and the computer for that matter. Connect your ipad to the computer, open the summary page and choose backup to this computer.
    (go to #5 for restoring from a previous backup)

  • Iphone OS 3.1 and iTunes 9 issue

    I updated my itunes the other day and it seems to be working fine, but I updated my iPhone 3g to OS 3.1 yesterday, after I downloaded the file from itunes, I got a message letting me know "my phone is getting ready for update" after this message, itunes quit out of nowhere.
    now, every time I turn my phone on I just get the connect to itunes logo. I tried to reinstall itunes, but this didnt lead to anything.
    Also, every time I try to hard reboot to attempt to downgrade back to 3.0 iTunes just quits.
    I am now without a phone and would like to fix this issue assp! Any suggestions?

    Hi Folks
    Here is a fix for the iPhone 3.1 update that causes the handset to remains caught in a restore loop **.
    With this fix you should not need to reinstall iTunes to a previous version either, though I have only tested it with Windows OS, the same principle should work.
    When your phone is caught in the restore loop, which causes iTunes to continually ask you to reinstall your iPhone and then upon resorting it brings up an error, do the following.
    Login to another user account that has access to iTunes (any version) and plug your USB connector into the iPhone.
    iTunes will then indentify that there is a 3.1 update which you agree to download. You will then be asked to reformat the phone and install the update. Go through the process as it tried to do in the other user account, follow any prompts that iTunes asks and eventually you will return your iPhone to its factory settings.
    Next, disconnect your USB and then log back into the main user account you have previously been using your phone with, load up iTunes again and then reconnect the phone.
    iTunes will now scan for the phone and automatically (if you have a previous backup) reinstall from a previous backup, if no backup is available then simply restore.
    Once this is complete you should be left with a fully updated and more importantly working iPhone.
    I have had some issues with this process with direct regard to the backup, but after a few tries this process works fine.
    Hope this works for everyone.

  • IPhoto deleting issues and iTunes syncing issues with IOS 5 on my iPhone.

    While upgrading to IOS 5 my iphone (3gs) would not allow me to restore to back up so I had to restore to original settings, ugh, losing everything on my iphone. Thought this wouldn't be a problem but iTunes won't let me pick and choose what music I want to add anymore even though I have "pick checked music only" checked. It refers now only to full albums, etc, instead of whatever songs I want from each album. I had to create specific playlists with all the music I wanted on my iphone. And it only added one playlist. I have loads of space on my iPhone so don't know what the issue is. Does anyone know why I cannot add more than one playlist?
    Also, I discovered I can't delete iPhoto pics on my iphone. I can trash whatever I add to my Camera Roll but nothing else. I had to designate a specific folder for pictures from iphoto to be added to iphone and those I cannot delete. Anyone know what to do here as well?
    Thanks!
    Found answer to iPhoto question here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/7636294#7636294
    ...but still need help with music. thanks

    It's inside the iPhoto Library package.  Open it from the Finder as show in this screenshot:
    Then drag the iPod Photo Cache folder to the Trash, close the package, launch iPhoto and try again.

  • Iphone 4 and itunes syncing issues

    Not sure if this is an itunes issue or iphone4 + itunes issue
    So got the new iphone4 and was able to activate, restore backup and sync additional song and videos. After the second or third sync, Itunes started to crash my windows xp when syncing started. I tried syncing with ipod and iphone 3g to see if it was an itunes issue, but they sync fine. Anyone experiencing this or have any thoughts?
    Thanks!

    Same happening with me, though I can't find the source of what's causing mine to crash. I have not yet synced any music to my iPhone4 so it can't be that. I've deleted my Winnie-the-Pooh book (which i had read elsewhere to be the source) and any free apps that I thought might be the cause too but still, itunes crashes when it starts "backing up iphone".
    Can anyone help??
    Have just turned my iPhone off and back on again, and deleted an app that I remembered didn't work 100% and now iTunes doesn't crash!

  • IPad 2 GarageBand and iTunes

    Hi. I have bought an iPad2. When I try to save a GarageBand song I have created To iTunes either as an iTunes song or a GarageBand project(I have tried everything I can) there is no sign of it on my iPad. It is not in my music. It is nowhere to be found when I open iTunes. My Music tells me there is no music at all unless I share with my home iMac.
    Can anyone help me here? Many thanks

    Here is how you can export a .band folder to your iPhone, it should work for iPad as well.

    3. Drag and drop your folder .band to the folder "Documents". (!! Your'e not done yet!)
    4. In GarageBand on your iPhone press the plus-button as you would start a new song. Choose "Copy from iTunes". Choose your imported song.
    5. Start rockin'

  • ATV and ITunes Sync issues - Windows Vista

    Greetings everyone,
    For the last 4 or 5 weeks I have had the issue of ITunes and the ATV not syncing unless I reboot the ATV. I am running Vista 32 bit with no firewall on the machine (the router handles it) and Avast Anti Virus. The ATV is "wired" in to the network and has access to the Internet even during the issue of not syncing to ITunes.
    Scenario: I download new content in to ITunes and hit Sync (not the content just the library so I can see it to stream) under my ATV. I receive an error " ATV is not responding. Check that any firewall software running on this computer has been set to allow communication on port 3689". Ok no firewall is present to block the port and it works and syncs fine if I reboot the ATV for ONE session. If I download more content it is another reboot of the ATV to sync.
    Any insight would be helpful!

    did you ever get a response or figure out how to set your ATV up? I've got the same problem. Turned off my anti virus and my firewall and I think i've opened the port correctly on my router, but still get the error.

  • Download and iTunes connection issues

    As of recently, I have purchased numerous audio and video files from the iTunes store with no difficulty or connection issues of any kind. Though today, I attempted to download the Iron Maiden: Flight 666 movie, and had issues with my download. Though the file is downloading, it is taking an excruciatingly long amount of time. A 3.09 Gigabyte file, a file which might have previously taken me about an hour to download on my connection, now displays an estimated download time of 17+ hours. It has been downloading now for at least an hour, and only 9.5 Megabytes have been successfully downloaded. Now, I am experiencing difficulty accessing the iTunes store at all. An error message continually pops up saying that my connection has been lost and the download pauses, though I have checked my connection time and time again. I have even contacted my internet provider, Comcast, in hopes of solving my problem. My connection is good, though iTunes itself is the only thing giving me difficulty. I have gone through all of the steps that Apple has recommended, and have not had any success in attempting to download the file. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • IPod and iTunes 7 issues

    I have a 3g iPod.
    I have a G5 mac which I mistakenly upgraded to iTunes version 7.0.2.
    Since upgrading to version 7 I have major problems when trying to transfer music to my Ipod. I can transfer 1 song, then the rainbow spinner comes up and says it is indexing 1 out of 800 songs for gapless playback. So I either have to wait a half hour+ until it is done indexing or force quit. Then if I want to add another song it will index 1 out of 800 songs again and I have to wait again or force quit.
    What is the problem and how do I fix it? I don't care about gapless playback but don't see any option on how to turn it off.

    Hello? Can someone please help me? This is a very annoying problem!

  • IPad and iTunes syncing issues

    I gave my old computer to my Dad, I need to add my ipad to my new computer. I downloaded the itunes on my new computer, but when I try to sync, it tells me that the ipad is synced with another iTunes library and ipad can be synced with only 1 iTunes library. Is there anyway to unsync with the old computer and sync with the new computer without loosing all the apps and data that I have on my ipad?

    The ipad will sync itunes content and pics from one and only one computer at a time.  When you sync to another it will indeed erase the current content from the ipad and replace with content from the new computer.
    You need to copy everything from your old computer or your backup copy of the old computer to the new one.
