IMovie on iPad - cannot add recorded song

I just bought the iMovie for iPad. I have tried many times to add a recorded song which is in mp3 format from the iTunes library to the project I'm working on. But when I tap it, iMovie just has no reaction. It works fine for other songs, the dark green track pops out and wraps around the timeline. I would like to know why and how to make it work. If I can't insert recorded songs to the movies, iMovie just loses it's purpose for me. Thanks! =)

I just had the same problem, only with an aiff track.  On my mac I converted the aiff track I wanted to aac and then synced it to my ipad, and it works!  On your computer go to the advanced menu and click "create aac version."  Get that version onto your ipad itunes and it should now work in imovie.  Good luck!

  • HT1296 somebody can help me?, I am trying to sync my ipad but i get the following message: iTunes cannot add any songs to the iPad "Fernando Velazquez Ipad" because no songs in the playlist "Purchased" can be copied to this iPad.

    iTunes cannot add any songs to the iPad “Fernando Velazquez Ipad” because no songs in the playlist “Purchased” can be copied to this iPad.

    That usually means your phone was previously sync to a different iTunes media library.
    by syncing to your Mac now, if want to wipe the data off the phone and sync it with the data currently in the iTunes media library.

  • Why does iMovie for iPad shorten the background song length after adding a photo?

    Why does iMovie for iPad shorten the background song length after adding a photo?
    I created a project a few months ago, and iMovie worked as it always had. I would create a project, add a background song, then add photos to fill up the song.
    When I created a project today, I added the background song (4m9s), then added a single photo, and the background song length was shortened to 6 seconds. I have never seen the app work this way. I know I can extend the photo to the length of the background song, but it used to be so much easier to add photos and sync them with the music as I desi
    I'm using iPad2 with iMovie v1.4.1.
    Thoughts?

    When I've added photos to a project they are added to a default time to appear. Honestly I've never looked at the time but 6 seconds sounds close. I'm guessing that since you added the photo after you add the music that its thinking you want the two to match in time length so it tunicates the music. Try adding the photo first then add the music. Good luck!

  • Itunes cannot add any songs to the iphone because no songs in the itunes purchased can be copied to this iphone

    What in the world is wrong when my purchased songs cannot be added to my iphone?  It seems random because many of them were transfered/synced but now some just won't sync.  But, then the error message: Itunes cannot add any songs to the iphone because no songs in the itunes purchased can be copied to this iphone.
    I have the latest version of itunes
    Macbook ios has Mavericks 10.9.5
    all other items (including other music) has been syncing correctly
    THEN when I try to use another method to get the music (screen shot #1) it gives me the error message below (screen shot #2):
    Why in the world would anyone want to remove all existing music just to sync the music?  How would I compare what is on my phone from what is on my macbook itunes to see what might be lost?  How do I get it to sync?

  • On iPad cannot add new contacts, only edit old ones? Won't accept "done" button when pushed

    On IPad cannot add contacts, only edit, "done"  button not accepted when pushed, it does let me edit and share.
    Help appreciated

    Hey Edward, I'm not sure if you're still having trouble with this, but I was struggling with it too, and what I believe fixed it for me was correcting some incorrect MobileMe login info. I guess the contacts were set up to be managed by MobileMe, and since the login wasn't going through, some permissions were disallowed. Anyway, my guess is that you have something misconfigured in an account that's managing your contacts. Good luck!

  • 'itunes cannot add any songs to the ipod 'bla bla' because no songs exist in the playlist 'leo tolstoy- etc' can be copied to this ipod' .

  • Error message "iTunes cannot add any songs to the iPhone because no more free space is available"

    I have an iPhone 4, and have over 2 gigs of storage space left, yet iTunes gives me this error message anytime I try to add even 1 song from my computer to my phone. I can still download apps from the app store, and can still download content from the iTunes app on my phone.  I have tried opening up more space by deleting content. Still nothing works. What do I need to do to fix it?

    Try de-selecting Sync Music followed by a sync. This will remove all music from your iPhone.
    Follow this be re-selecting Sync Music along with your selections below followed by another sync to re-transfer the music and hopefully along with the new music you want transferred.

  • Cannot add new songs in iTunes 9 after switching to media organization

    Hey all, I'm using iTunes 9 and can't seem to add any new mp3s to my library. I've always had iTunes manage my library files and it keeps the mp3s in the default location (~/iTunes/iTunes Music). When I try to add mp3s, I see the error:
    'Attempting to copy to the disk "" failed. The required folder cannot be found.'
    I can still listen to all of my other music and my iTunes library folder is still intact. I just can't seem to get rid of this problem... I checked the permissions on all the folders and it's all kosher. I even tried rebuilding my iTunes library but still no dice.
    The only change I made recently was to use the 'Upgrade to iTunes media organization' feature so that I could use the 'automatically add to itunes' folder. Does anybody have any guesses why that might trigger the error I'm getting?
    Thanks!
    David

    After much fiddling, I discovered that this was caused by an alias inside my iTunes Music folder called “Music,” which simply linked back to the iTunes Music folder itself. This must have been causing iTunes to not be able to find the correct place to put its files. Simply removing this alias fixed the problem for me.

  • Cannot add purchased songs to iPod

    I am about ready to throw my Macbook out the window. I detest the new makeover on iTunes making me feel like a complete idiot that I cannot figure out for the life of me how to transfer one stinking song that I purchased on iTunes to my iPod Touch. I have confirmed the song is in my music library, I have synced my Ipod several times. I appreciate any help on this!

    My problem is similar but broader.  At some point a few months ago, I could no longer listen to any of my purchased music on my iPod Touch.  All of the purchased music remained in my iPod music library (I can still see every song); however, none of my purchased music will play.  When my playlist reaches a purchased song, the iPod stops playing.  I've re-synced my iPod many times and the same thing occurs.  And, I've restored my iPod with the same end result. 
    One other issue that I believe may be related: I'm also noticing that some of my playlists don't show up on my iPod anymore.  All of this seems to have occurred at the same time.  And I still have 22 GB of capacity available so that isn't the issue.  Can anyone offer a solution?  I would really appreciate it. 

  • Cannot add more than 1 song at a time to iphone

    Hi
    Don't know if anyone else has had this problem but when i try to add songs to my iphone i can only do 1 at a time. If i sync a full album it crashes and says device timed out. it will back up ok and sync if manually manage music is ticked but if automaically again it dies on the second song. I have reinstalled itunes with no luck and my phone will work fine on my wife's laptop when synced to her library. I can re-sync with my library which removes all songs but then cannot add anymore songs unless its 1 at a time :((
    Any ideas??? We both use the latest 8.2 itunes and both run vista both have amd processors and both comps have 2gb ram.
    Thanks

    Cool. The front case ones may not be properly connected to the motherboard then. From personal experience they are kind of hard to connect as the pins are so small and it is easy to connect them incorrectly.

  • How can I add a song to a playlist on my iPod?

    Since I upgraded to iTunes 12, I can't seem to add a song from my music to a playlist on my iPod.
    I tried two different ways:
    1) Click on Music, then click on Playlists, and show Songs. Open up the iPod in the sidebar by twirling the arrow next to the iPod. I can add a song to the iPod by dragging it over iPod / Music, but I cannot add a song to a playlist by dragging it directly over the playlist name.
    2) Click on iPod / Music. Try to drag the song from the iPod's music list to the iPod's playlist. Again, it won't let me.
    So, how on earth do I add a song to a playlist???
    Thanks

    Hey ElisabethR,
    I see that you wish to edit some of the playlists on your iPod from your computer and add some songs to them. The best way to do this would be to change the playlist as you wish in iTunes on your computer:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Create a playlist
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12340
    Then, you can sync these playlists onto your iPod using the information in this article:
    Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB - Apple Support

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

  • Is there a way to make an audio clip not cover the whole project? I want to add audio clip or song and let it start at a certain point in the project. I'm working with iMovie on IPad!

    Is there a way to make an audio clip not cover the whole project in iMovie? I want to add audio clip or song and let it start at a certain point in the project. Whenever I add audio or song it covers the whole project. I'm working with iMovie on IPad!

    Thank you for your reply Karsten but unfortunately this didn't help me so far. Or maybe I'm missing something?
    First the link is a tutorial for iMovie on a Mac. I'm using iMovie on iPad so the steps are inapplicable.
    Second it is only possible for me to manipulate the end part of the sound clip to whichever duration I want. But I can't do the same with the 'beginning' of the sound clip.
    I simply want to place some photos in the beginning of my video with no sound in the background then after like 2 secs I want to start the music clip. For some reason that is not possible! Cause every time I drop the music clip unto my project timeline it automatically place it self along with the first frame in the project! And consequently the photos and music are forced to start together.
    Hope I'm making sense...

    You don't have any choice but to restore your phone.  If the phone is still working, be sure to back up your contacts first.  Since iTunes can't read your phone you can download the app My Contacts Backup, which will back up your contacts as an email attachment.  Send this email to yourself; you can later open it on your phone and tap the attachment to re-import your contacts if necessary.  When done, click on Restore (on the Summary tab) and let iTunes do its thing.  Be careful to watch the progress information at the top of iTunes as well as your iPhone screen so that you do not interrupt the restore process until it is completes.

  • HT4759 How do I set up icloud for my ipod shuffle on my new computer windows 8. I downloaded the icloud but it tells me that i don't have the icloud and I cannot add songs to my ipod.

    How do I set up icloud for my ipod shuffle on my new computer windows 8. I downloaded the icloud but it tells me that i don't have the icloud and I cannot add songs to my ipod.

    An iPod Shuffle can't use iCloud.  It can only be used on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a supported Mac or PC. 
    Also you can't create and iCloud acount on your PC (or your iPod Shuffle).  You have to create your account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.2) or higher.  After creating the account on one of these devices you can sign into it on your PC.  But this still won't allow you to add songs to your iPod Shuffle as it doesn't support iCloud.

  • ITunes Match doesn't work at times-  in the same room (on Wifi) I will add a song to my playlist on the iMac- instantly it appears on my iPad but not on my iPhone 6plus

    ITunes Match is extremely unpredictable-  in the same room of my house on the same WiFi- all my devices are up to date (software wise). I will add a song on my iMac 27". To a playlist I created-  Instantly the song shows in the playlist on my IPad Air2. But it does NOT show in my playlist on my iPhone 6plus-  I reboot everything- even do a hard-wired sync- it just won't appear-  sometimes- frustrated with the time I am wasting I just email (from my iMac) the song to myself so that I can play it on my iPhone 6Plus-   I create a lot of music on my iMac using Logic Pro- and there are times I want to have the process (songs in the marking) available on my iPhone so I can play them while driving, etc.,  extremely frustrating as this issue is very new -  had no problems for months and months but now I do- I rebooted everything (phone, etc.,) created a new play list-and then it appeared on the iPhone in the new playlist-  BUT if I want to add a song to the new playlist- same situation- never appears on the iPhone but does appear on my iPad IMac and MacBook Pro-  ITunes Match is turned on- I am on the same WiFi FAST network at my house-  Any ideas ?

    Hi Rob- I'm guessing it has something to do with all the update stuff Apple keeps doing (with Yosemite, etc.,) extremely frustrating - also whenever I load up iTunes on any of my devices- I am asked to enter my passcode- which I will do- then I am asked to do it 2 or 3 more times - right after the other- crazy how annoying something like that can be- I have looked online for solutions- i.e. close out of the account, reset the passcode- all of it- nothing seems to fix that situation either-  what I have discovered (playing around) is on my iPhone 6+ if I go to settings and turn OFF iTunes match- then turn it back ON- suddenly all the music that wasn't loaded shows up magically- but I had to do that each time I'd update songs in my playlist on the iMac- then go to the iPhone and turn off the match- then turn it back on- almost like it is resetting things-
