I can't get garageband to export!  It keeps getting stuck at 'creating chapters' when I try to export my enhanced podcast.  Please help!

I am trying to export my enhanced podcast through garageband.  I have all the current updates.  I am on my MacBookPro 10.6.8 2.3GHz with 8GB ram.  My enhanced podcast (podcast with pictures) is about 80 mins long and I have tried exporting with everything from the lowest settings to the highest always with the same result.  I have tried deleting GB preferences.  I have tried repairing permissions to no avail.
I hit export to disk or send to itunes.
I select some AAC format I want (optimized for spoken podcast).
It slowly builds the mix, normalizes, and creates chapters (yeah, it goes through the creating chapters bar to completion)
Then it goes all candystripe on the creating chapters bar once it fills up and will hang forever (hung for 8 hours....pretty much sounds like 'forever' in my book).
Please help...I have my podcast sitting there waiting to be used....I have tried exporting smaller chunks (by moving the end of file bar) but that doesn't work either.  Is there a way to just send the pictures and the picture start times over to imovie and work with it there?  I'd much rather work with the tools that imovie has but man that program is just a PITA to use when you want to run through 100+ pictures for variable durations (whereas it's easy to just drag and drop with garageband as you do playback).
The file only has one stereo audio track!

Hi notmatthew, I have exactly the same problem as you. I am trying to export a podcast about iPod X Anniversary so I need to publish it next sunday.
It's midnight in Spain but tomorrow I will tray something I read in other post:

Problem solved.
I deleted the chapters one by one, exporting it each time, until it worked. i then replaced the image (which was a .jpg and i converted to .png) with that chapter and now it works.
Could you try it?

  • When recently syncing my iphone, itunes asked me something regarding transfering purchased items or something.. I foolishly didn't read it properly and now I can't get purchased songs from iTunes back on to my iPhone... Please help!!

    Hi,
    When recently syncing my iPhone a message came up regarding transferring purchases or something.. In haste I pressed the wrong reply.. My phone synced, but removed all of the songs I purchased on my iPhone. Although they are still on my iTunes and I can play them.. but they will not sync back to the iPhone what so ever.. I'm stressed out big time and can't believe I was such an idiot lol!! Had a look at a few forums.. But they seem to be about transffering from Iphone to Itunes...
    Please Help xxx

    At the AT&T store. Tried using iCloud but only 120 songs were transferred and when I access my iTunes account now it only shows 120 and not the 450 anymore that I purchased on my old phone. Tried to sync again from the phone to iTunes and it still not working.
    I purchased everything under the same apple ID account I called apple support and spent almost 2 hours with tech support for assistance and we got disconected and they never called me back.
    I'm at the point where I'm about to never purchase anything anymore from apple go to another company retrieve every single charge made on my bank account from iTunes and file a law suit against the company. It's being a week that I called for assistance and no one called me back to help me with this matter even after I responded a survey with a complaint about not getting a resolution to my problem.
    If you could please help me I will appreciate, I'm out of the country now and can't stay on the phone for a long time.
    I need to sell my old phone but as right now besides all my bank statements the old phone is the only evidence that I purchased the songs.

    I suddenly can't get what I type in to show up on the screen. It won't print my user name or password to enter a site or print the answers in the crossword puzzle site I use.

    Would you try Firefox beta from the Play Store to see if this helps? What crossword site?

  • Now that I've downloaded Firefox 4 I have a Yahoo toolbar which I don't want. I can't get rid of it and when I try to find my menu toolbar it isn't there, even when I hit ALT. I am extremly frustrated. Can anyone help, please?

    I lost my Google toolbar but finally retrieved it, and cannot display my menu bar, which I need in order to print, etc.

    Hello,
    In Firefox 4, you don't have the menu bar by default. You can view the menu bar by right click on the bar near the TAB's, you'll get a menu with choices, among the choices is "Menu bar" check that and you have your menu bar back.
    Regards,
    Micke

  • I can't get Firefox to sync my two computers. Going round in circles. Please help!

    I hvae gone through the process of syncing my two computers. I have seen, many times, the tab that tells me that my data is being uploaded in the background and that setup is complete. Nonetheless, nothing syncs. The two computers retain their separate states, nothing changes. I can't figurte out what I need to do in order to make sync work. I'm sure it's something simple, but I throw up my hands and ask this question.

    Please note that we are currently experiencing server issues with Sync. Our techies are working around the clock to fixing the issue and making sure that it works its best. The current option is to try to keep syncing and if you are able to get it to sync properly, we suggest not to sync more than once every 2 hours.
    Thank you and sorry for any inconvenience.

  • I can't get Windows to fully setup when I try to boot camp

    I trying to boot camp my mac with windows. I'm pretty sure I'm doing everything right but if I'm not this is what I'm doing
    1. opening bootcamp and entering the windows 7 CD and partitioning the drive.
    2. after windows installs the computer restarts onto the windows set up.
    3. I sellect the country and all then format the boot camp drive and choose it then hit next
    4. the set up does all of the things exept for the last one then it restarts and finishes that.
    5. it then starts and goes to the windows start screen (the logo) then the screen goes black. The computer is till on but wont go on to the rest of the set up
    This is what I do and what is happening if anyone can tell me what I'm doing wrong or why I cant finish the setup, please do. Than you!

    that happens to me sometimes and i figured out how to do it
    1. right click iTunes icon on your desktop
    2. click add/remove programs link
    3. look for iTunes and click Repair
    4. repair the installation then try plugging your ipod in
    make sure your ipod's battery is drained out completly or windows wont read it for a couple of minutes

  • I can not get passed the security questions when I try to make a purchase.  I don't have a reset security questions icon

    How do I bypass the security questions to purchase with itunes.  I never answered them in the first place.  I don't have a reset security questions at the bottom of the page either

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
