Garageband saying songs I am trying to import aren't audio files

Every time I try to move one of my songs over from iTunes into GarageBand on my Macbook Pro it says it is not an audio file. However all of my songs are mp3. I have searched for how to fix it all over Garageband and tried to find help online. Please help me try to figure out how to get my song onto Garageband to edit. I've tried everything!

Hi,
Save file on desktop, you can drag and drop any mp3 file into GB.
While dragging make sure that you are dropping on plain area beneath tracks area like which red arrow in the below image

Hi
Why are you trying to import BPM zip file are you trying to configure the out of the box workflows?
They are something that need to be deployed from the process admin on BPM.
There would be the .exp file you would need as its BPM 10g that you would need to use.

Hello Esther,
the problem seems to be that the temp folder of the target Integration Builder system can't be found:
'The system cannot find the path specified
at [..] FileAccess.getTempDirectory([..])'.
You'll experience the same problem if you try a file based import or export within the Integration Builder directly.
I would recommend to continue the search there. You could check if the environment variables (for Windows: TEMP and TMP) of the OS of the system with the target Integration Builder to an existing path. Check also if the WebAs can access this path.
Good luck
Frank

Importing MPEG-4 audio files into itunes

Hi,
I am a new user of iTunes. I am unable to import MPEG-4 audio files from an audio CD into my iTunes library. This audio CD was created by a friend on his MAC.
Interestingly, I am able to play the same MPEG-4 files through my Windows Media Player. I have the most recent and updated versions of Quicktime (7.4.5) and the most updated iTunes player for Windows (7.6.2.9). Coincidentally, the same audio CD has some MP3 files which I am able to import into iTunes with no problem.
Would greatly appreciate any help.
Thanks

Incidentally, I am able to play these same MPEG-4 files through my QuickTime player just fine.
Thanks.

How do I change album information on songs I'm trying to import?

I accidentally applied online album info to a cd I'm trying to import. They are songs my cousin is singing so no online info applies. I tried removing the cd and closing iTunes then re-opening but the album info remains so I haven't imported the songs yet. I'm feeling very frustrated! TIA for any help.
Linda

Highlight the track(s), right-click, Get Info. Go to the Info tab and type in the correct info.

Trying to import 24 fps audio

I edited my project in 24 fps (not 23.98). Then I exported a 24 fps quicktime file for my sound editor and he created a mix using protools. When I import his mix (48 kHz, 24 bit wav) the computer seems to think this is a 23.98 file. When I stretch the audio it synchs fine.
Here's where it gets strange for me. If I export my stretched video and re-import it into the same 24 fps sequence I'm back where I started. No matter what I try, I can't seem to export and re-import 24 fps audio without losing synch.
The finished mix needs to go to a post house for 16mm optical sound, but I have no way of telling if the mix is in synch or even whether the mix is timed to 24 fps (which I suspect) or 23.98.
Any information is appreciated, thanks.

Thanks for jumping in.
I tried to avoid describing the workflow - it kind of defies description at this point. This project originated in 16mm 15 years ago. Most of the picture editing was done in 16mm on a flatbed Steenbeck editing table. Then for reasons that are complex, I switched to FCP and finished my edit that way. To complicate matters, it's a mixed media project bringing together 16mm, super 8 and some video. The workflow is unconventional to say the least, which is why is a shortage of people I can ask about this issue.
However, regardless of workflow, the issue I'm experiencing (specifically as it related to working with FCP) is the following:
When I export audio from a 24 fps timeline and re-import the aiff file back into the same timeline, it is no longer in synch. I've never had this problem working in 29.97 or 23.98, so I'm baffled. I've now tried this with other source footage unrelated to my project and I get the very same result. There must be something unique about working in 24 fps that I don't know about and can find no reference to in the manual.
I invite anyone to try this: Create a sequence (I've tried two codecs: photo-jpeg and DVCPRO 50), set the editing timebase to 24, plop in 30 minutes of video footage, export the audio, re-import the audio and place it back in the sequence. When I perform this operation on my machine I lose synch.
My sequence settings: 720 * 480, DVCPRO50, 48 kHz audio, 24 bit (the editing timebase, of course, is set to 24)
Thanks for your help.

Trying to import and rename Raw files in an automated process

I have been managing for quite a while with Bridge and ACR but recently started playing with the demo of Lightroom and bought the software yesterday. There have been no problems key wording or processing existing Raw files etc. but I have become a bit unstuck on the process of importing new Raw files to the catalogue and I wondered if anybody can offer some advice on best practices. I am trying to maintain the formula I adopted after reading the DAM book.
My plan was to have Lightroom see the raw files as the card is mounted on my desktop and add them to the catalogue in a predesignated place, while automatically renaming them according to my standard file name format e.g Karyl_Raw_090402_V5F8581.dng, then adding copyright data and converting to DNG all at the same time.
I just ran a test with a small number of files and Lightroom was able to import the files complete with the copyright data stored in the IPTC section, which I had previously edited as a metadata preset, but it didn't rename them apart from adding the .dng suffix and they were all dumped in a subfolder within my user's picture folder on the Mac. In ACR I used to import the original .CR2 files, make any adjustments and then do a batch rename before copying to the final folder, which all worked. Obviously the hope is to make this all very automated and efficient so I'd be grateful for any pointers and good advice.
Thanks
Ashley

I seem to be getting there now and have discovered the renaming presets on the right hand side of the import panel. It's actually all working rather well but I'd like to find out more about the various IPTC fields to see if there is more information I should be adding.

Trying to import data from Flat file(csv)

Hi,
I am relatively new to ODI. While i try toimport data from a csv file in ODI and view the data, it gives an error ORA-00942: table or view does not exist. Actually where does it create the table is it in the Database associated with it?
I have created a Logical Architecture, Physical Architecture and created a model and trying to import data into new data store through csv file.
Thank You

ITunes will not play/allow import of any audio files

I have iTunes installed via Windows 7. Yesterday, iTunes stopped playing any audio files. I first noticed this problem after streaming music to my apple TV went bonkers. I tunes would play the first 3 seconds of a song and go onto the next one, even though all music played fine through iCloud on my apple TV. Afterwords all audio files just stopped playing with an error. Before this time everything worked fine.
I double click on them or right click on play and nothing happens, period. Of note, almost all the artwork that was associated with the audio files has also disappeared in itunes. I can still play video files with sound through itunes without any problem. I can play all music through quicktime, vlc, etc. without any issue. I can also link to my pc-itunes library and play the same music through iTunes installed on my mac without issue. I can play samples fine through itunes via the itunes store.
I tried I have tried unistalling iTunes, Quicktime, etc. (following Apple's recomendations for unistalling) with subsequent reinstalls now 3 times. I even paid good money for RegCure Pro to clean the registry - still the same problem.
I also cannot import audio files into itunes on my pc now either - dragging and dropping as well as, going through the menu - nothing works!
This has got to be the most frustrating issue that I have had to deal with on a computer!
Please help!

I have now discovered the problem. The hard drive that I was using for iTunes was Dirty; meaning that something was corrupted. As a result I had to copy all file to a temp location and reformat the drive. This solved the problem. Of note, I had formatted the drive the first time using exFAT in hopes of being apple to use if needed with my mac mini.

Failing to import my own audio files (not copy protected files)

I'm having trouble getting external audio files to import properly into GarageBand, most specifically MP3 files. These aren't copy protected audio files, these are files I've created myself in other programs and unprotected MP3 sound effects clips downloaded from various web sites.
Here's what happens, I open GB and create a new project. I find the audio file that I want to start with, an MP3 file that plays just fine in QuickTime and iTunes. I drag the audio file into GB to create a new track. GB begins a conversion/import process or whatever it does to be able to edit an MP3 file. I see the progress bar filling up as it does this. When it is complete a new track is created with the MP3 file's name, however the track itself is empty. I don't see any content and there is no audio when I hit play. I don't get any sort of error message either.
I've tried playing with the MP3 file settings, changing them to mono, adjusting bit rates, compression, etc. but every time I try to import into GB this same process happens with no results. These audio files I'm creating play in all my other audio playing apps, so I'm confused as to what could be wrong.
Can someone tell me how I can get GB to import these files properly? Thanks in advance!

How can I import several small audio files to create one BIG file in iTunes

I have ONE cd with THREE audio stories contained in EIGHTEEN audio files (6 files make each story). I also have an iMac. Not sure if they're mp3 or not, but they play on computers and car radios.
How can I take this CD, whisper abracadabra and end up with three files (each with one story)? Don't need to re-burn a CD, but just need to get them on to an iPod.
I've tried inserting the CD and using the right mouse click/info/options to select 6 files and identify them as a 'gapless album' - but this did not link the files together.
Any help you can offer would be appreciated. I have read pages & pages of topics, but could not find this particular issue.

Insert the CD.
Don't Import it yet.
Select the CD in iTunes.
Select the consecutive tracks uyou want joined as one file.
Go to menu Advanced > Join CD tracks.
Do this for each set of tracks you want as one file.
Then Import the CD.
If the tracks are already in iTunes, no need to import them again.
Use this -> Join Together
"Join Together automates the process of joining the files of selected iTunes tracks together with QuickTime and exporting them as a single AAC Music or Audiobook file/track. Optionally, you can then create a "chapterized" audio file of the exported AAC file with pointers to the individually joined tracks."

Not able to import protected AAC audio files

Can i do this? In the past I was able to import these purchased files, and then with an update, I no longer could. When I updated my system to 10.3.9, I was again able to use the music I purchased thru itunes. Now, again I cannot. What happen? Is this something Apple does on purpose, not letting us use music we purchased from them in their programs?

I am not sure what you mean by putting the G4 to sleep. I put it to sleep and had to wake it up, copied songs to cd, deleted songs from itunes and reimported them. Again, they came back as protected AAC audio files even though I selected AIFF files.
Reading a tourtorial on imovie it mentions you can get songs from the istore and import them to your movie. So, it is suppose to work.
