IMovie on iPad mini says "Move playhead to wider audio section!?"

My iPad mini has iOS 6.1.3, And I'm using iMovie version 1.4.2. Anyway, when I was editing a movie, I try to add a sound effect to the movie, but it said "Move playhead to a wider audio section", And I was confused, because when I tried to add the sound effect, there were no sound effects there. It said there were too many sound effects there, when there were no sound effects there. I have no idea why that happened, because no sound effects were there. Please help.

I'm not sure if this is how the program is supposed to work or not, but I was able to change the audio once I took it out of the video and then dropped it back into the project timeline but not dropping it onto a single clip, therefore making the audio clip show a bubble around all the video clips instead of being a bar underneath the video clips. Hopefully that makes sense.
If you go to http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#imovie-music this is the first example of dropping an audio file into the timeline. You can move the clip around by dragging the top title bar of the audio clip.
Also, I'm not sure this had anything to do with it as well, but while I was having problems changing background music audio levels, the sound level for my video clip was 'normalized'. I have since removed the 'normalization' from the video clip and am able to lower the music volume after making those two changes.

    Are you using a Mac computer...?
    If so... On the Mac...
    Click on the Apple icon.. Top left in Finder...

  • My ipad mini says to connect to itunes, and I try to restore it, but after its done extracting a message comes up saying that device is not found, is there anyway i can fix this? I don't care if i don't get my stuff back

    My iPad mini says to connect to iTunes, and I try to restore it, but after its done extracting a message comes up saying that device is not found, is there anyway i can fix this? I don't care if i don't get my stuff back, i just want my iPad restored to its starting settings.

    If everything else that you try fails, I would try using another computer. Since you don't care about saving any data, any computer that is running the latest version of iTunes might be able to restore the iPad. You could make an appointment at an Apple Store Genius Bar and they can do it for you.
    If that isn't feasible for you, try using a different cable, a different USB port. reboot the computer, and reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears on the screen. Then try again.

    What if you have a situation where Restore did not work. I do. The ipad mini says it is disabled, connect to itunes. When connected, it says that it is locked! I have tried using Recovery/Restore but after it completed, the ipad mini still malfunctions. It does not allow you to start the device. The slide image keeps dancing around the screen. The opening page keeps changing in size and the keyboard types on its own! What can be done to fix this????????

    Maybe a reset would help, to be followed by trying the recovery again.
    To reset, hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears.  Then do the recovery.
    If this doesn't solve it, I recommend visiting an Authorized Apple Service Center.

  • My new IPad Mini tells me that I need Itunes 10.7 when connected to my Apple computer. When I try to up grade, I'm told that there is no newer version than what I have. IPad mini says I have system version 6.1.3. The ITunes version on the Mini is unknown.

    The problem is that your Mac software is quite old.  You must have a version of OS X on your Mac earlier than 10.6.8 (current is 10.8.3), so your particular version of OS X cannot support any later version of iTunes.  (The current iTunes version is 11.0.2).  In particular, your iTunes on your computer cannot deal with your iPad which has software that is much more current than your OS X operating system (and Mac iTunes).

  • Ipad mini says storage is full but i have deleted everything and tried everything. Does anybody know what the issue is, i would be greatful for a response, thank you!

    My ipad mini says that my stirage is full but i have dleted everything and its still the same, i cant download apps, or take photos and camera and photos seems to be taking up the most GB even though i have delted everything from my photos. Does anyone know what this is? thank you!

    When you delete photo in 8.x it puts them in a deleted folder,  it lets them in there for 30 days.  You need to delete the photos / videos in the delete folder ( may have different name. )

  • Half of my video wont work on imovie on ipad mini

    Hi all, i make youtube videos, for christmas i was lucky enough to recieve an ipad mini. i downloaded imovie on it to edit my videos, and i got it for free. i recorded my video on my camera as normal and imported the video on to my laptop (not a mac) and first of all it wouldnt let me sync it on my ipad so i had to go onto window movie maker and save it as a project then sync it, that seemed to work fine. So i went onto imovie on my ipad and imported and it was going great and i was editing, ( by the way my video was 27 minutes long) and then at one point of the video it stopped, the sound wouldnt work and it was still playing but the video was just a black screen? so i thought my camera must of stopped recording, so ive watched it back on my laptop and it is fine, something has happened while it has been synced from my laptop to my ipad and i dont no what? please some one help it is so annoying, i have synced it four times and it just wont work. annoying!
    ALSO.. sorry for any spelling/ punctual mistakes, i cant be bothered to re correct just really want this problem sorted. thanks

    I have now solved my problem..
    I needed my video to be in MP4, lucky my camera has a MP4 mode on it so i didnt have to convert it!!

  • IPad mini says the 30 pin VGA adaptor is not supported

    I bought a 30 pin VGA adaptor, in the apple store. When I plug the adaptor into the iPad mini I get a pop up that says "device not supported by iPad"

    If you mean you're using this:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD823ZM/A/lightning-to-30-pin-adapter?fnode=3a
    with this:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC552ZM/B/apple-vga-adapter
    You can't. As it says on the first page (emphasis mine), "This adapter lets you connect devices with a Lightning connector to many of your 30-pin accessories.* Supports analog audio output, USB audio, as well as syncing and charging. Video output not supported." You need the Lightning to VGA adapter.
    If that's not what you mean, please post back and clarify what it is you are using and attempting to accomplish.
    Regards.

  • Ipad mini saves moves made by camera as .mov

    Since my Ipad mini was reset to factory settings and updated with the new ios, the videos my ipad mini saves are .mov files and I can not open them. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Sounds like something went wrong. Step one is always a reset. Press and hold both the home and power buttons 10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait 15-20 seconds till your iPad starts on it's own.

  • IMovie on ipad Mini export issues

    Does anyone else often get the pop up saying an error has occurred or that their video does not export? I'm trying to save to my camera roll a short 15 second time lapse with a song in the background, but when I try to export the movie it looks as if nothing is working. The export bar stays completely gray for hours on end and then when I lock the device it gives me an error popup. Any solution as to how to successfuly export the movie?

    Can you just tell me what's the format of your videos? iMovie supports mp4 encoding with H.264 and ProRes MOV best. So if it's because the format of your videos is not compatible with iMovie, you should convert your videos to iMovie with a video converter . I offer a useful converter for you to try if you need. 
    The problem like yours, for most of the time, is because of codec. You may solve it easily with a simple conversion. Good luck with you ^-^
