I DON'T want to fade audio
Dropped an audio track into iMovie, and a fade out was added automatically at the end.
Clicked the "manual fade out" checkbox in the inxpector, and it brought most of it back. Instead of a regular fade out, now it's just an extremely short fade.
Why is iMovie doing this? Is it possible to simply drop an audio track into a sequence and have it left alone?

After checking the Fade Out checkbox, did you try dragging the slider to the zero position? The slider normally defaults to half a second (13 frames in my case as I'm on PAL 25 fps).
In the timeline viewer, you can also drag the fader handle to the far right of the clip. Hover over the end of the clip to reveal the handle icon. When the grab hand appears, click and drag the handle to the desired fade out position (in your case, the far right or clip end). A similar handle appears at the start of the clip for fade in purposes.
When doing all this, it's best to zoom in on the clip. Do this by dragging the clip slider to the far left position, labelled 1/2 second. The slider is located under the clip thumbnails viewer for both the Events and Projects windows. It allows you to show the number of frames per thumbnail, ranging from 1/2 second to All (the latter showing one thumbnail per clip). So, for example, the 5s position will show 5 seconds of video for each thumbnail. Very useful when doing finely tuned edits. It also helps to check the box labelled "Show Advanced Tools" in iMovie>Preferences (General tab). Also check the box labelled "Display time as HH:MM:SS:Frames".

I did the 8.0.2 update and no longer have my speak to text microphone down by the smileys. Don't want to use audio text. How can I get this back?
Hey there tjbliven,
It sounds like you are not able to use the dictation feature of iOS 8, becuase the microphone icon is missing. It seems to me like Siri may be turned off, which would cause the icon to not be there:
Siri settings - iPhone
To set options for Siri, go to Settings > General > Siri. Options include:
Turning Siri on or off
That should get the dictation feature back for you.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

Don't want to Copy audio and movies into document: Selecting
Hello
Here is my first question about Keynote.
In the User Guide, we may read:
Copy audio and movies into document: Selecting this checkbox saves audio and
video files with the document, so the files play if the document is opened on another
computer.
*_You might want to deselect this checkbox so that the file size is smaller, but_*
*_media files won’t play on another computer unless you transfer them as well._*
The named checkbox is unchecked in the Advanced options as well as in the Preferences pane but, when I drag a sound file, in fact a mp3 one encapsulated in a .mov file, I retrieve it it the document itself.
I'm running the app on a French system if it may make sense.
Am'I doing something wrongly ?
Yvan KOENIG (VALLAURIS, France) mardi 18 janvier 2011 14:17:30I have no huge knowledge about Keynote.
So, I would use brute force.
Assuming that your document is built with the flatfile format introduced by iWork '09
(1) rename the document wxyz.key as wxyz.key.zip
(2) double click the renamed document
it will expand as a wxyz.key document using the old package structure
(3) ctrl + click the icon of the new wxyz.key document to reach the contextual menu offering the item allowing you to "Display Package Contents"
(4) in this contents you will see the "kind of aliases" which I wrote about.
They are named something like : azertyui.mov
(5) open them with an hexadecimal editor like the free Hexedit.
You may also drag & drop them on the TextEdit icon.
In this late case you will get something like :
I highlighted the meaningful info.
Here it must be read as:
Macintosh HD/Important/Téléchargements/jef gilson - oeil vision/jej gilson - oeil vision - 7 -chant inca.mp3
This is the path to the true file.
With this info, you may reach the true file.
As far as I know, the embedded .mov file is a frozen 'kind of alias' so you are not allowed to move it.
As long as it remains where it is, you may move the keynote document everywhere on your HD. You may also move it on an external HD.
As long as the device is connected to your machine with the media file untouched thr doc will behave flawlessly.
If you move it to an other machine, it will be orphan.
So, to use it on an other machine, you must embed the media file in the document.
Open this document with Keynote.
Check the checkbox urging Keynote save media in the document
Delete the icon of the media item existing in the document
Drag & drop the true media file as a replacement of the deleted one
then save the document.
Oops I was forgetting to respond about 'dropped files'.
To my knowledge, they are some insert picture files.

How do I turn off 'additional plug-ins' pop-up reminder? When I'm surfing websites or Facebook, for example, I keep getting the little pop-up, that reduces my screen size, saying additional plug-ins are available to play all content. I don't want them installed! Audio and video ads are annoying. If I want it I'll click it.

Every time Firefox opened

Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter.

I Don't Want "Creating Overview" For audio when Opening A Project
when opening a project , is there a way to turn creating overview off? i have it turned off when recording already. i don't want to have to wait when booting up project , to wait for audio overview that i don't need
thanksOK, here's what I'd suggest...
1. Find the Apple Loops folder on your system. On my system it's in:
HD > Library > Audio > Apple Loops
There's another in:
HD > Library > Audio > Apple Loops > Apple > Apple Loops for Soundtrack Pro
2. CMD-I on these folders and see who the 'owner' is. If the name listed is not the name of your home folder, then unlock the lock and change the owner to the name-of-your-home-folder.
3. Click the disclosure triangle by "Details:" and then, after you've changed the owner, click "Apple to enclosed items"
From that point on you should not be getting the error message.
HOWEVER... I've found that sometimes the waveform overview for certain "FX" (as listed in the Apple Loops browser within Logic) will not be rendered. That's a topic for another day though...

I am trying to record a basic guitar track while I sing along. I don't want my vocals to be recorded at the same time but the internal mic seems to be picking up the vocal and guitar sounds. I tried System Preferences, Sound, Line In - Audio Line Input. It seems to be a common problem in Garageband for the Mac, ipad and iphone.
for me it turned out that the jack into the iMac was loose. Once I fiddled with it everything worked okay

How can I find an audiobook on my 4th gen shuffle? Can't find it even when I play in order. When I try to tick Sync audiobooks it asks if I want to continue to remove existing music befoer syncing and I don't want to do that. Can anyone help?
Did you already load the audiobook manually (by dragging it to the shuffle)? To confirm that the audiobook is on the shuffle...
Select the shuffle in the iTunes sidebar. If the sidebar (along left side of window) is not visible, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.
Click the small triangle to the left of the shuffle name (in the sidebar) to drop down its content list, indented below the shuffle. Click on Audiobooks there. To the right, your audiobook(s) should be listed.
NOTE: if you don't see Audiobooks on the content list, there are no audiobooks on the shuffle.
When you turn ON the shuffle, you are playing from the default All Songs list. Audiobooks (and podcasts) do not play from the All Songs list. You need to use VoiceOver to select the audiobook from the playlist menu. This document explains how to set up and use VoiceOver on your shuffle

Hi there.
I have an audio file that I have dragged onto the timeline and set to repeat on fame 1.
However, I want to fade the audio of that particular mp3 on frame 25 as a video plays on that frame - the audio clashes.
I also want to fade the audio back up of the mp3 when the video frame is exited.
Any ideas how this can be done?
Many thanks,
Alex.Audio in iMovie 09 is a pain. In order to do this, you have 2 choices...
1. Your clip must have a video fade effect of some kind then go into precision editor, select to see audio from the waveform button near the middle right of the screen and then slide the audio (without effecting picture) either earlier or later.
2. You can Split your clip in multiple places, lets say 6. Then double click on each of them in turn, moving the audio level lower and lower until you get to the part of the split clip that will be zero. In order no to have the edit point sound cut, either set the auto fade to be manual/zero, or go into precision editor and overlap the audio edit points slightly.

I have an apple iphone 4 that I want to download audio books from my library onto. I cannot figure out how to do that. The iphone does not show up on my mac laptop as a connected device. Does this kind of download have to run through itunes? Thanks
Yes it is done through iTunes. The iPhone will never show up in Finder as a device. The following is general information on iTunes sync: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386 and the following is a previous discussion where the post by Andreas Junge helped others that had a problem syncing audiobooks: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20052732#20052732

I am traveling in Chile, South America. I purchased an Entel sym card and I can make and receive phone calls, but the internet only works on WiFi. Do I need to region unlock or what? I willl only be here for A month and a half so I don't want to buy a phone. Any suggestions?
Most of the current Apple Intel based computers are comparable in CPU speed. I don't think it is so much the model of laptop as it is the memory, and storage capacity of the machine. If you are going to use FCP on a regular basis, perhaps as a professional or semi-professional, then you should think about the maximum memory and a very large capacity internal disk drive. For instance, one hour of finished compressed video will take up about 1.5 to 2Gbytes of disk space. If you add up the raw footage and still imagery and audio, you'll use up your disk drive capacity real quick. So a hard disk on the order of 750Gbytes @ 7200rpms might be good for video editing. 5400RPMs might be slow to rendering times. Rendering a video might take up a lot of memory so more memory is better e.g. 8Gbytes.
As a rule of thumb, once you get to about 80% of your disk drive or memory you'll see degradation of performance.
You can check out macsales.com. THey have a menu system that will allow you to pick and choose from various alternatives. BTW, it's been said that although Macs are typically spec'd at a certain memory size, macsales.com found that Apple computers will actually support higher memory levels. That is, if 4Gbytes are spec'd, some machines support 6Gbytes. macsales.com will provide the guidance for you.
You might also consider buying an external disk e.g. 500Gbytes to carry around with you for back-up or transport to another machine. -
I have windows 8 and itunes 11.1 ... my laptop identifies my iphone 4 but itunes insists that I either update my phone to OS 7 or restore to by basic 6.1.3 OS I don't want to do either. How can I get itunes to access my iphone ?
RealPlayer can cause conflicts with Flash Player because it tries to assign EVERY TYPE of video or audio file to itself by default. I haven't used RealPlayer in years for that reason. It's an unnecessary program anymore. There are apps loike VLC media player that cna do EVERYTHING it does without conflicting with other apps like Flash Player.
With WIndows 8, Microsoft began embedding FlashPlayer themselves into Internet Explorer. Because of that, you cannot download and install it from here. You cannot uninstall it from Internet Explorer without removing a specific Windows Update first. And you cannot update it via this website. ONLY through Windows Update can Flash Player for Internet Explorer be updated.
That said, you probably DON'T have a virus that's causing the problems with Flash Player and Internet Explorer. Many, many websites are not "recognizing" the browser.
This is a known problem with Internet Explorer 11, which Microsoft has been aware of since October 18 when they released IE11 The pages can't recognize the browser, so they don't recognize any of the plugins, like Flash Player.
So far, Microsoft has made NO indication that they have any plan to fix it soon.
Microsoft's recommendation is to use Compatibility View for affected pages, and "pretend" you're using an different browser. Trouble with that is it has seen limited success at best, and you have to individually enable it for EVERY page that has problems.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in. -
IMovie is outputting my movie with big black bars at top and bottom that I don't want
Quicktime: Ver 10.3
iMovie: Ver 10.0.5
OS: OS X Ver 10.9.4
So, let me try and explain...
I have recorded gameplay footage of my game directly from my Mac screen using Quicktime's Record Screen option. I've tried recording both in fullscreen mode (with my game also running in fullscreen mode) and a section of the screen by dragging the mouse to select a 640X960 box (with my game running in windowed mode which is displayed at 640x960 resolution).
This initial recording direct from the screen displays fine, both when I view it in windowed mode and when I view it fullscreen, with the height of the game stretching to the full height of the video area but obviously with big black borders to either side in fullscreen mode (as it's basically iPhone ratio in portrait mode).
WindowedFullscreen
This ^^^ is how they should look.
The problem is when I try to import the movie into iMovie, mess around with some fade-ins and music and stuff and then output the edited movie via iMovie...
When I then try to view this outputted movie in windowed mode on certain sites (Kickstarter) my game footage doesn't take up the full height of the video and instead floats in the middle with big black bars at the top and bottom, which I don't want. It's fine when I go fullscreen but the problem is that when I load this video into Kickstarter it shows the non-fullscreen view of the video with this big black border and it looks really amateur.
This is what Kickstarter shows in windowed mode i.e. the way you see Kickstarter videos by default when you press Play; unless I go fullscreen and then it takes up the full heigh of the view.
Note: Windowed mode actually looks fine when viewed directly on my Mac but I know it's not Kickstarter that is causing the issue because I can see in the thumbnail preview on my Mac that the video is somehow encoded with the big black bars at the top and bottom. Also, I uploaded the unedited videos to Kickstarter just to check and they display fine. So it's definitely iMovie that is adding these annoying black borders at the top and bottom for whatever reason (and I'm not intentionally scaling the video down in iMove or anything like that as far as I know). I also can't use the unedited footage however because it has no sound and no transitions etc.
Does anyone know what night be causing this and how to get rid of it.You are lucky to see anything - iMovie 5 is not really compatible with Snow Leopard, which only supports iMovie 6 and above.
Snow Leopard only runs on Intel Macs. iMovie 5 was never written, AFAIK, for Intel, just for the PPC Macs they had in those old days! -
I don't want it to "Process Album Artwork"
Every time I add audio to iTunes it says it's "Processing Album Artwork", and I don't want it to do this - there's not going to be anything in the file, and it's not going to be available on-line.
So how can I configure iTunes not to do this?iTunes prefs -> General.
Uncheck *Automatically download missing artwork*.
there's not going to be anything in the file
There is no file unless iTunes finds artwork
*Processing Artwork* is iTunes reading the info for the tracks and then searching for the artwork.
and it's not going to be available on-line.
Why not?
There's no harm in letting to look. -
I am wanting in input audio to a MacBook Pro running 10.9.4. Since there is only the internal microphone as an input choice, how do I accomplish this?
Not something I've ever done, but I found a 9-year-old article from MacWorld -> http://www.macworld.com/article/1041790/tapetocd.html - that explains it a bit. Apparently the only software that you need is GarageBand and a hardware interface. Just Google "copy audio cassette to mac" and you'll get tons of hits.
Good luck,
