    Well, all I can tell you is that if your file is an m4a with chapter markers, those markers having suitably sized images attached, and you drag it into the Music area of iTunes (so that it appears as a song) in List view, when you play it and then command-click on the small image in the header (next to the progress bar) you should see your embedded images.
    If this isn't happening the best place to ask would be in the GarageBand forum: my own experience of GB is rather out of date and in any case I've never used it for podcasting.

  • Troubleshooting transfer of iTunes from external hard drive to Windows 7 and a new computer

    I had to transfer data from a Western Digital external hard drive to a new computer with Windows 7.  My iTunes library is there but the individual play lists cannot be found.  Are they there somewhere?  The data was transferred before iTunes software was installed on the computer.

    It transferred over to the My Music folder.  Would it be beneficial to start over by deleting the transfer so that iTunes is installed before the music comes into it?  Thanks!

    Do you have scroll bars enabled in the System Preferences > General tab (MacOS X 10.7 or later)?
    Try, if setting this to "Show scroll bars > Always" will bring your scrollbar back.

  • How do I get the new iPod to work with iTunes

    I recently purchased a new iPod--I think it's the "Shuffle," whichever one retails for $150. When I plugged it into my iMac, it said I needed to install iTunes 10 to run it. When I checked for updates, it said that iTunes 9.xyz (whatever came after the 9) was the latest version.
    How do I get this new iPod to work. As you can tell, I am not much of a gadget junkie, and I'm a bit of a technology incompetent, which is why I purchased the Mac to begin with. I have an iMac, have no idea what operating system I am using--whatever came with it when I purchased it in November, 2008.
    TIA!

    Okay, I just looked and I do have 10.411. How do I upgrade to get the new iPod to work, and how much does the new operating system cost?

  • Music in itunes from different cd's, how can i get it to have correct info?

    1.  I have over 2000 songs in itunes from different mixed cd's, how can I get them to have correct artist and album and titles?
    2.  How can I convert them all to mp3 because I have to be able to send them to windows media player because I have mp3 players that I would like to play these on along with my ipod? 

    I personally use TuneUp from http://www.tuneupmedia.com/
    It works on both Mac and PC.
    It is a great tool for correcting MetaData "Music Info" for all of your songs. It also adds the correct album artwork and can remove duplicate songs from your library easily.
    iTunes on PC will convert the WMA to MP3 for you if you like. To do so just right click on your WMA files in iTunes and choose convert to MP3.
    If you have already moved all of your music to Mac and no longer have a windows machine there are a couple of programs that will do it for you from Mac OS X. Some are free and some cost money. Let me know if you would like to know a couple of examples.

  • My computer crashed, I have had to get a new computer How do I now sync my Ipod to the new computer without deleting everything?

    The new computer is already authorised and on home sharing but the old computer wasn't so how do I sync the new content from the ipod to the computer and vice versa without deleting content that isn't synced with this computer

    - Transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - To transfer other music you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:
    Copy music from Ipod to new computer...: Apple Support Communities
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up.
    - Restore the iPod from that backup

  • I have a new apple ID how do I get my new purchases to my normal itunes library

    So I have a ipad and an ipod nano. I have always downloaded music on my ipad then synced my ipod to my pc. But i had to get and new apple ID. So when I got to sync my ipod. It does it with my old account. Ive tried deleting itunes and redownloading it but that didnt work. I need to some how completly reset itunes on my pc or somehow change my id on there. But i cant find a way to do it. Please help.
    Thanks.

    I'm not quite sure what is going on or what you need to accomplish. If it's asking you to authorize your computer, you'll need to do that with both your new Apple ID and your old one. Until you do, you will not be able to sync purchases from your iPad. You authorize the computer via the Store menu in iTunes. If you have iTunes 11, which for some unfathomable reason hides the menus by default, press Control-B and you'll then see the menus.
    If that doesn't address your situation, please post back and clarify.
    Regards.

  • How do I get my new pc to see my itunes library already residing on my external drive?

    I have a laptop pc connected to an external drive.  My iTunes libary was moved to an external drive because it took up so much memory. I have a new desktop pc now.  I downloaded iTunes onto it and I am trying to get it see the iTunes library on the external drive now, but it will not.  Any thoughts on how to make that happen?

    Hey KHpod,

    Hey TBL64,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities, and thanks for the question. I found the following information that should help you out:
    ...to restore from an iCloud backup, erase your device (by going to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings). When prompted to set up as new or to restore from previous backup, select Restore from iCloud Backup. Enter your AppleID and password when prompted.

  • How do I get my new Mac to show all itunes music that shows up on my PC?

    My PC shows some 600 songs when I plug in my ipod, however when I plug in the ipod to my new mac, itunes shows only the 70 songs that I purchased--not the ones that I put on the ipod from old CD's etc.--many of which are no longer available to download. Obviously, I need all 600 songs to show on itunes in order to create playlists, delete songs, etc. Apple says that ONLY reinstalling all songs will work. Any other suggestions?

    You will need a program such as Senuti or PodWorks to transfer the other tunes back to the Mac.
    The iPod is one way affair except for purchase tunes/video.

  • How can we get a new computer to recognize photo folders on the iPhone so they can be deleted from the iPhone?

    My wife has an old Windows Vista computer that is unable to operate the new IOS. I have installed iTunes on my Windows 7 computer and authorized the computer on iTunes. We are unable to delete/recognize photo FOLDERS from her iPhone 4 on my computer within iTunes. The only photos I can pull off her phone are being recognized by the windows system as a camera plug-in from her Camera Roll on the iPhone.

    iOS does not operate on the computer.
    If she has Vista, she can run iTunes 11 which is needed for iOS 7.

    Do you want to delete the photos on the camera or copy them back to the computer?
