Getting prompt "Audio file "Male Voice#16.aif" not found", upon app startup

Hi -
I've been using GarageBand for podcasting for the last couple of years. But it seems to be acting funky:
For the last couple of uses, I've gotten the prompt "Audio file “Male Voice#16.aif” not found." Where would this file be found? I went as far as to try reinstalling but it didn't work.
This morning, while trying to record bumpers, I recorded my voice, only to find it recording at a much deeper register than usual. I had no effects on it, but it sounded as though the pitch was being bent somehow. Also, while recording my voice, I usually have the monitor on (while listening through headphones), and couldn't hear the background music that I use to assist in timing.
Any ideas on how to fix these issues?
I'm not sure if the two things are related, or not. I just need to get it fixed. I've tried reinstalling, to no avail.

"Audio file “Male Voice#16.aif” not found."
did you copy and paste between projects?
recording at a much deeper register than usual.
what equipment are you using?
couldn't hear the background music that I use to assist in timing.
were any tracks soloed or muted? have you deleted any tracks?

Audio file "No Effects#43.aif" not found! error

GarageBand is a hobby. More than Apple TV. I hate using GarageBand. 50% of the time GarageBand decides to delete the audio file inside of the package, making the previously stated error occur. That file doesn't go to the trash it dissappears. How do I fix this problem that a Fortune 500 company has in their annually paid software. Hmm, Apple? Really? An error that deletes the recorded audio? Someone should slap you in the face.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

After talking with Apple and doing a little research myself I found that the problem was that the original template file that I was reading and then doing a save as with dated back to 2009. This file probably didn't upgrade correctly and caused the error. After creating a new 100% iLife 11 file the issue has gone away.
Solution: make sure that your file is 100% new, and not reused from a previous version.
Apple, I am sorry, I take back those unkind remarks... But maybe next time make sure that files can be upgraded correctly.

File './mysql-bin.index' not found on MySql startup on OSX 10.5

I did a manual setup for the installation of MySql 5.5 on mac OSX 10.5 instead of using .dmg package installer. After following all the installation steps when I started the sql server with sudo mode I got the following error and the server did not start.
/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld: File './mysql-bin.index' not found (Errcode: 13) 110808 21:22:12 [ERROR] Aborting
I cannot find ./mysql-bin.index file anywhere in my /usr/local/msql directory.
Can anyone tell how to get around this problem? Would I be able to overcome this problem if I use dmg installer instead of manual installation?
Thanks.

Are you on OSX Desktop or Server? If you're on Server, what happens when you try to start the version of MySQL that was included with OSX server?
If you're on Desktop, what happens if you install the .dmg package?
I always like to try the packaged versions first unless there are required features that aren't in them.

Audio file "Male Narrator Noisy#05.aif" not found.

I just spent five hours editing a particularly annoying recording for a client. The project was saved and I was just about to export it when GB crashed. When I re-opened the file, I get this message:
"Audio file “Male Narrator Noisy#05.aif” not found."
This .aif contained 90% of the edits. I've look under the "media" folder inside the .band file and it's not there. I've searched my hard drive, trash, etc, can't find this missing file.
Can anyone tell me if it's recoverable at all or do I need start from scratch?

One thing I learned to do a while back was to avoid editing the original recording. I always create a copy of the original and edit the copy. That way if anything horrible happens (which often does), I have a backup.
In this case I did the following:
1. Right-click on the .band file for the original recording.
2. Select "Show Package Contents".
3. Open up the media folder.
4. In there I found the .aif file which was missing from the copy .band project.
5. I simply pasted that into the media folder for the copy project and PRESTO! all of my edit returned.
Hope that helps and that you have the original file on the hdd.

Audio file 'recording#10.aif' not found (message)

When I try to open any garageband files that contain real instrument recordings(purple recordings) I recieve a message saying "Audio file 'recording#10.aif' not found, or any other recording number... When the computer prompts me to search i tell it to, and then it comes up with the message "16 invalid region(s) changed!"
I have found the original recordings in the finder and have tryed putting them in the garage band folder...
Is the problem that the recording files have maybe changed location in the finder? If so, where does garageband send the files after they are recorded so that I can return them to there original locations?
Thanks a lot guys.

I once spent three days (long days) trying to track down and beat an "invalid region" problem, I finally had to admit defeat, nothing I tried could solve it.
where does garageband send the files after they are recorded
They are stored within the project you create. There are no scratch files.

"Audio File "Recording#27.aif" not found" Error Message- Please HELP!

Hi Everyone-
I was opening a podcast today to finish editing it and I got this error message, "Audio File "Recording#27.aif" Not Found" - and, naturally, when I opened the project, half of a phone interview was missing (or, rather, it shows up as purple balloons but each one says "File Not Found" inside). This file is the audio from the interviewer (the interviewee file is totally fine, as are all others in the podcast). When I load the project it asks if I want to search for this missing file, but when I click yes it says that it can't be found.
How can I find this file? What happened to it? Thank you for any ideas, suggestions, etc. For reference, I'm using GarageBand 3.0.4 on a MacBook Intel Core Duo 2Ghz and Mac OS X 10.4.11

no, GB wouldn't delete anything on it's own. it only deletes files for which you've deleted the entire region from the timeline and then saved
if the file is not within the projects, i'm afraid it's gone, and i can't think of any way that could happen by itself B-(>
Well i guess I should warn others that copying and pasting is very dangerous stuff! I had two podcasts- in podcast #1 GB saved the interview file as "Recording#27.aif" and in podcast #2 GB saved a little intro clip under the same name. When I pasted the intro clip from podcast #2 into podcast #1 my interview disappeared. I didn't delete it- I was never asked about it, I didn't delete the region from the timeline, etc. I have to assume that since they had the same name, GB thought I no longer needed the "Recording#27" from podcast #1 and now I can't find it anywhere! If anyone has any suggestions as to how I could find this file I would be very appreciative.

I've Downloaded twice ''Additional Contents'' but the issue is still unresolved ( '' EXS 24 instrument ''steinway Piano.exs '' Audio file '' stw per v1 024.AIF '' not found)

Audio file "Recording#01.aif" not found.

I recorded some guitar into garage band and then copied it into a new document and deleted the tracks from he original one. Now when I open the garage band file with the copied guitar tracks, it displays a message saying "Audio file “Recording#01.aif” not found."
Is there a way to find these sound files again, so that I can hear and edit them again?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve

if you saved the original file, i'm afraid they are gone for good.

Audio files and voice recordings have no sound in iMovie after a while, help?

I was editing and I was putting audio files and recording my voice fine then all of a sudden, audio files and voice recordings I were adding had no sound. The ones already put on had sound but when I tried to drag more audio files or record my voice, nothing. No sound. I tried restarting my Mac, didn't work. I changed the MP3 name to AIFF, didn't work. I'm using iMovie '11.

Hi PK - welcome to the forum!
Increasingly, people with digital still cameras want to import their short movie clips created with that camera. BUT the catch is that these movies are NOT in .dv format. They are MPEGs, and if they are MPEG1 or MPEG2 then they must be converted to DV before they will import into iMovie with the audio able to play.
This conversion usually can be done with a free app. called MPEG StreamClip, but may also need another piece of software called the Apple MPEG2 Playback Component (which costs about $20)..
A search in this forum for those, will give you several threads on the issue!
Look here, for example, for more about the method required:

NOTE that iMovie was designed for DV use (a high-quality editing format), not the much lower quality MPEG footage.

Audio file "086_Grand_Piano2_ped_f.aif" not found!

Garageband keeps telling me that most of my instruments can't be found. The message "Audio file “086Grand_Piano2_pedf.aif” not found!" comes up on 50% of my instruments but with different .aif files. The files are the ones telling Garageband what sound it should give the MIDI signal coming from the keyboard.
I have a Yamaha USB keyboard attached to my 13" MBP running OSX 10.6.5 and iLife '09. I have no idea where the files have gone since i havent been using GB for a few months until yesterday when the problem started occurring.

This looks like your Instrument Library is not okay. It sits in HD/Library/Application Support/Garageband. What do you see there?
Maybe it makes sense to re-install GB completely.

EXS 24 instrument ''steinway Piano.exs '' Audio file '' stw per v1 024.AIF '' not found)....

The Issue :
The steinway piano. exs can be seen in 'Library/ Application Support/ Logic / sampler instruments / Acoustic pianos - when double click on it ''Can't be open''
c
Same in Garageband & MainStage
When launching Logic pro , Garageband or MainStage : EXS 24 instrument ''steinway Piano.exs '' Audio file '' stw per v1 024.AIF '' not found)..
After having spoken on phone to a technician (Apple support ) ,i followed his instructions which was to '' Download Additional Contents via the Logic Pro menu:'' ( I've Downloaded twice already) but the issue was unresolved ( '' EXS 24 instrument ''steinway Piano.exs '' Audio file '' stw per v1 024.AIF '' not found)..
Then last night i tried : Via the LOGIC PRO MENU : Click on '' Download Additional Content then select ''Logic Pro & Mainstage Essential Contents'' click install .
It took about 2 hours and finally afterwards when loading song in logic pro ; steinway piano was still there but this time it worked same for Garageband & MainStage.

"Additional Contents" I don't even know what that is? What app is it for?

Audio file "Bass#14.aif" not found!

Hey Logicians-
I've misplaced my root audio files. I've tried using this phrase (Audio file “Bass#14.aif” not found!) and several derivatives thereof in the finder while highlighting my hard drive (complete search right?), but found nothing...same deal in time machine. Are they gone?
When I re-opened the first project to do some mastering, I selected "search" and the audio files were found. With the other projects I was not so lucky. All I see are empty audio regions.
Thanks-
J

Nothing in the "trash can." I downloaded EasyFind and scanned both my hard drive and the time machine hard drive for the first missing audio file that pops up when I try to open "Hide Your Love..." The file is "keys#12.aif" Easy find came up with about 20 keys_12.aif all referencing my old Cubase days. I did note that it only took a few seconds to search my hard drive (which includes my user profile correct?) but a good 10 minutes to search Time Machine. I've only been using this machine for about 7 months, and obviously haven't done much work, otherwise the search through the main hard drive should take longer huh? I wish I at least understood what happened. An accidental deleting is tough to believe since I did 2 versions of each song for the group, renaming each version and saving. I would have had to ignore some serious alerts to not have saved those tracks, furthermore, the audio regions exist...which came from something.
Fortunately it was not Keith Jarrett's final concert. Unfortunately, I may need to sit through the recording.....again.
Do unexplainable things ever happen computerwise?
Thank you Gents-

Anyone know how I can get an audio file imported into my iTunes' podcast directory, rather than the music directory?

Anyone know how I can get an audio file imported into my iTunes' podcast directory, rather than the music directory?
I downloaded a series of podcasts recently. They were imported into my "music" directory instead, making it more difficult for me to recall where I left off with the last podcast I listened to before having to stop it for whatever reason. Thanks in advance for any help.

You can do it, though the result isn't ideal. Import your episode, then select it in the Music list and hit command-i to bring up the info panel:
However each episode you do this with will turn up as a 'podcast' with no name - and it doesn't seem possible to give it one - containing the one episode:
