I have a 7 minute MP3 that I want to edit, however when I drag it into garageband it only pulls in the first 3:30. Any thoughts on why? At the 3:30 mark in the song there is a pause but then it starts back up but for some reason the program won't pull in the part of the song beyond the pause. Thanks!

Hello npatel1207,
You may need to increase the duration of the project.

I have audio CDs and MP3s that I want to download onto my MacBook - how do I do that?

I have audio CDs and MP3s that I want to download onto my MacBook - how do I do that? I would like to be able to edit them in Garageband if possible and then burn them to a different CD or DVD. Step by step instructions would be great! Thanks!

Open itunes. Insert disk. Import disk.

I have a 13 sec clip that gets shortened to .5 sec when I drop it into the project and can't adjust the destination to the source length

I created my clip from 3 PPT slides (as movies, one of the options) and it imports into the event browser fine. I am using the theme Forever is never long enough and it has little boxes where you are supposed to drop your clips. When I drop them in, the clip only plays for the destination duration time. If it is .5 sec but the source is 13 seconds, it won't let me adjust it to play the full 13 seconds. Anybody know how to adjust them?

It appears that you are using a Trailer (as distinct from a Theme). These are templates designed to give you a quick preview, similar to trailers you see at the movies. The clip lengths and music are all preset so that the video works perfectly in sync with the audio soundtrack. They are intended to be short, sharp and shiny - hence the very brief snippets of video employed, together with the accompanying matching music.
A Trailer template can't be altered unless you convert it to a standard project. To do this conversion, firstly, it's a good idea to duplicate the Trailer. In Project Library view (where all your projects are listed) click on the name of your project then from the menu select File>Duplicate Project. Now click on the duplicate and from the menu select File>Convert to Project. Now you can edit the converted duplicate Trailer just like a normal project - but bear in mind that changing the clip durations will cause the video to go out of sync with the supplied soundtrack.
Unless you are doing a highlights reel, your best option is to create a normal project from scratch, rather than using a Trailer template. When you create a new project you are given options as to whether you want to use a Theme or No Theme. Themes are quite different from Trailers and serve a different purpose. They help to spice up your video by introducing snazzy titles and transitions. You have complete flexibility as to clip lengths, transition styles, added music tracks and so forth.
Hope this helps to clear up any misunderstanding you may have regarding Trailers versus Themes.

I click to restore my iPhone from the last backup that I've made, I get the confirmation that it has been restored however, when my iPhone restarts nothing changes, it comes up as the 'set up' like a new iPhone again. Help!!

I've tried several times and the same thing keeps happening, my iPhone says its backing up it restarts itself but it's back to the start and it sets up as a new iPhone

I have some dts cd's that I want to import into itunes on a windows pc and then play back on my apple tv 3 (i think its 3, about 9 months old) to listen to through my onkyo amp via hdmi as dts, when I play back I just get white noise.

I have some dts cd's that I want to import into itunes on a windows pc and then play back on my apple tv 3 (i think its 3, about 9 months old) to listen to through my onkyo amp via hdmi as dts, when I play back I just get white noise. I have seen lots of old posts which go on about converting files but am wondering wherher at the current time with the latest versions of itunes and apple tv whether this should by now be a virtual play out of the box solution.
I have tried connecting my atv to the amp by optical cable but that didnt produce anything better and am assuming that a hdmi cable should be able to reproduce everything an optical cable does.
Is this something I should be able to achieve without having to recode the files?
Tracks are imported to itunes as apple lossless, have tried setting the atv audio settings to auto and 16 bit, neither works yet I was told some time ago by an apple rep that the atv shoud be able to handle any type of audio as it just passes it to the amp to decode. I am not stupid but not that technical when it comes to audio and bitrates etc so any explaination would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any help

Willy, the procdedure you describe works perfectly for AppleTV G1. In fact, I frequently play DTS music discs ripped to my iTunes library as Apple Lossless (ALAC) and synched to the ATV. What happens is that, as far as iTunes and the ATV are concerned, a conventional stereo 16/44 audio file is being played; however my reciever detects the DTS data stream, and instead of outputting static, it decodes the 5.1 channels correctly. This process parallels the way DTS discs were designed to be played back: a conventional CD player is connceted, via digital out, to a DTS-aware reciever/pre-amp and the two channels of static are recognized as 6 channels of DTS-encoded audio.
However this process will only work if the player (CD, ATV, PC, etc.) sends a "bit-perfect" 16 bit/44.1 khz data stream to the decoding device. In the case of ATV G2 and G3, as has been discussed elsewhere, the unit resmaples all audio - including 16/44 PCM (Redbook CD) - to 16/48. While this is not a big deal for conventional audio CDs, MP3s, and AAC files, it mangles the fragile DTS datastream and renders it undecodable. The resulting static that you hear is just like the static you would hear if you played a DTS CD on a non-DTS capable system.
Sadly, I'm not aware of any easy way around this. You could use a program like Foobar (and the DTS plugin) to convert your DTS CDs to 6-ch .wav or .flac file. From there you could transcode the file to AC-3 and then mux it into a video container that ATV supports. You may need add a dummy video track, for iTunes/AppleTV to be ok with the file, though I'm not sure. This may be a lot of work.
Sorry for the bad news. I wish that the iTunes/ATV ecosystem had better multi-channel audio support.

I have an apple iphone 4 that I want to download audio books from my library onto it. 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 have Movies on my iMac that I want to share with Apple TV. How do I do that without also having them synch to my iPhone. The movies exceed the capacity of the iPhone.

I have Movies on my iMac that I want to share with Apple TV. I have no problem getting the movies to show up and play on Apple TV. However, when I synch my iPhone to to my iMac all of the movies try to synch to the iPhone and this exceeds the available capacity (32) of the iPhone. So the question is, how do I make the movies available on Apple TV but not synch to my iPhone?

I looked around some more on my iPhone and did find a video app. So all is well.
Thanks so much for your help!!

I have a band video that I want to edit. In iMove 09, I could clip to crop or add a transition or both without altering the audio. In iMovie 11, the audio lower or drops out when I clip for and use a transtion. Is there a setting to preven this?

Thanks for that info! Even in my time answering questions on iMovie Discussion Group, I never had a good understanding of when and how Optimize Movie came into play. I always would import as Optimized and Large Size and figured that was good enough. But knowing you got much, much more flexibility doing it the way you describe gives me a much better understanding of the different routes you can take into the Event Library.

Question about garageband: I have 3 short original songs that i wanted to merge ala "Bohemian Rhapsody". Is that possible in garageband? their tempos are all different from each other. Advance thanks.

First of all, GarageBand iOS allows for only one tempo and there is no Merge Song feature.
What you can do.
Switch between the songs and copy-paste the individual Tracks. You can also Merge Tracks if you run into the 8 Track limitation.
Hope that helps

All content from iTunes is tied to the account that bought/downloaded it, and it can't currently be transferred to a different account.
