I can't get song from itunes in iMovie

In iMovie I have a 3 minute movie prepared I want to add an itunes song to. When I go to the music & sound effects tab, there is no arrow next to itunes, just the icon. So I am not able to select an iTunes song for my movie. I have all updates installed and have run disk utility repairs/1st aid, and have ilife '11.
Does anyone else know how I could fix this problem? Thanks, Jill

Are you in Italy... Do you have an Italian iTunes Store Account...

How can I get songs from iTunes onto my iPhone

Help! I just downloaded the new update onto my 3gs and I can't sync the songs in iTunes BACK onto my iPhone....
M

I'm having similar problems. going from an iphone used on a different computer to a new mac is extremely difficult. In order to add those songs that have been "skillfully acquired" requires the owner to "erase and sync" everything from the iphone. Not only that, I have bought hundreds of songs from iTunes (they have a lot of my money) and I have problems now when i purchase a song from my mac that does not auto. sync to my phone. it requires me to manually download the song itunes app on the phone in the purchased section.
I love Apple, no other computer or mobile device - in my opinion - can compare. However, these added securities and the red tape found in iTunes is frustrating and inconveniencing.

Can't add songs from iTunes to iMovie

I'm having a new problem. I have the latest versions of iTunes and iMovie. I've used iMovie before and never encountered this - I can't add any songs to a track. When I try to do this, I get the error: "iMovie song could not be used because the original file could not be located." Please help.

I know this thread's fairly old, but I tried everything mentioned here and in a few other threads I saw on the web, and finally I found something that worked: It seems iMovie couldn't access the "main" library, but COULD access songs that were a assigned to playlists, when you select the playlist in the music selection pane. So, I made a playlist called "global" and put my entire library into it. I selected that playlist in iMovie, and now it can find every song I have!

All the music from iTunes Store aren't protected. You can search the web for a site that sells protected music.

I can't download songs from itunes directly to my iphone. I'm getting credit removed from account but all i get is 'waiting' beside the download song.

Sorry I somehow managed to click the wrong thing and made a silly mistake, as I had hoped.
Can a moderator please remove this thread as I have resolved my problem.
Kind regards,

HT203167 lost my hard drive how can i get songs from ipod back to new computer

I lost my hard drive and want to get my music back on my new computer. How can I get songs from my ipod to my computer? I am afraid to sync it and losing what is on my ipod. Any help would be appreciated.

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion.
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then you can transfer itunes purchases from your ipod: File>Transfer Purchases

Cannot get songs from Itunes (iOS 6.1.3) to iphone 4s..HELP!

I have a pc running Itunes 6.1.3, and and Iphone 4s. I have exhausted every avenue I can trying to get songs from itunes into my iphone 4s. I've unchecked every box and checked every box I could find, reinstalled itunes completely, restored the iphone to factory settings, checked manually manage songs, converted the songs, tried making a new playlist and then copy it to iphones... I can freely send songs to my Ipad.
There is no song that I'm able to send to the iphone from itunes. Here's what happens:
I connect the iphone and it goes through the steps syncing with itunes...NO SONGS APPEAR. Then, I'll try to re-sync with the boxes checked for what songs to send to the iphone, it goes through the steps and the blue area (audio) appears as if the songs would be sent to the iphone, and when it gets done syncing, the songs don't appear, and the blue area disappears.
I had no problem syncing before the 6.1.3 was installed.
I have tried all the solutions that have appeared online and nothing has helped. Has anybody else encounted this problem??

Hi firmflange,
That definitely sounds frustrating! I have actually encountered this same behavior in the past, and switching out the USB to 30-pin cable was the resolution (hardware issue with the cable). Does the same behavior occur when you use a different cable?
If so, we may need to troubleshoot the USB connection on your computer. Refer to this article:

Can't drag songs from itunes onto anything (desktop, flash drive, etc.)

This is weird.
All of a sudden, I can't drag songs from itunes onto the desktop, any folder on my hard drive, my flash drive, or my spare hard drive. On a health computer, if you drag a large number of files, first they land as white icons and they fill in as they get transferred. With my computer, the white icons stick around for a few second and then disappear. The first time I try, I can transfer 1-10 files successfully. After that it stops working. Here is what I've done.
1] Upgraded my system from 10.3.X to 10.4.5
2] I upgraded itunes from 7.0 to 7.3.1
Has anyone seen this before?
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Jeff

Since I can not edit my own post I'll have to reply to myself... Sorry for the "spam" on the forums.
I DID find something out (while playing with this some more)...
Try and copy as many songs as you can with UNIQUE titles. I've noticed that when you drag the songs in iTunes to the desktop (or a folder) the file it creates/copies is named like so: "songtitle.mp3."
Apparently the Finder and iTunes don't play well together [enough] to prevent several files of the same name from appearing - in most OS's I've played with (Linux and Windows, in addition to other Apple & Mac OS's over the years) there's a mechanism for handling this... Windows just adds a number to the end the of the second (and all future occurring) file(s) of the same name - as does most Linux builds I've used... Apparently the Finder in OS X just doesn't do anything - at all - when it discovers this "name error."
What I had to do (I was copying my Christmas music - do you know how many "Jingle Bells.mp3" files you can have?!) was make many folders or manually rename EACH FILE one by one so that others could be copied in the same place since the file name would always be JUST THE SONG NAME and the extension (and I do tend to keep my files in higher bitrate MP3 format for easier shuffling from OS to OS as I tend to use (in case you've not noticed) many different ones at any given time).
So, try avoiding any songs with the same title (or altering the title in iTunes somehow), or make separate folders to keep the same song name files from being created in the same place; and see if that doesn't clear this problem up for you - it did for me. ^_^
And sorry for being so "wordy" on this post. ^_^;

Hey lightc,
If you are having an issue with iTunes not recognizing your iPad and iPod on your Windows computer, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

Can you erase songs from iTunes, but keep them on the iPod???

Hi, I'm a newbie and tried to post this question earlier, but I'm not sure if it worked.
I'm wondering if there is any way to update your ipod, then take some of the songs on itunes, but still plug your ipod in later and keep those former songs on the ipod even if they're not on itunes. I'm thinking this isnt possible. But I wanted to make sure. I have limited HD space, but a 30GB ipod, so I was considering my options.
thanks!
angela

Set the iPod to sync manually; you can then delete songs from iTunes without them being deleted from the iPod automatically. You should keep another copy of the songs if you do this, as they can easily be lost if they are only on the iPod.

HT4914 can you download songs from itunes match from the cloud to your iPhone ie for times when you dont have internet connection

can you download songs from itunes match from the cloud to your iPhone ie for times when you dont have internet connection?

Unless you have an Internet connection you cannot access iCloud. You can download your music from iCloud to store permanently on your iPhone, but only when you have an Internet connection to do so.

But there's no maroon 5. :-(

Can I use downloaded songs from iTunes into iMovie and burn DVDs?

If I use downloaded songs from iTunes in iMovie, will I be able to make DVDs of my movie without losing music files?

Hi A
Probably but iMovie and I guess iDVD is fussy about in what format the audio
is in. It should be 48k/.aiff
If You in iTunes make an audio CD with the material You need in Your movie
and then Use this CD in iMovie it will work.
