Importing audio from iTunes doesn't work
GarageBand won't let me import audio files (unprotected) from the media browser. When I try to drag a file into the GarageBand window, it simply snaps back.
When I right-click on the file and select "Show in Finder" it tells me, the file can't be found.
When I go to the same file in iTunes and select "Show in Finder" iTunes has no problem shown me the file.
Dragging the file to the desktop from iTunes and to GarageBand from there works.
???
I had the same issue recently.
I found a workaround which resolved in my case, which was to drag the (DRM protected) file from iTunes to my desktop and THEN to GB.

Audio from itunes doesn't play well in imovie HD 6
I have quicktime 7.1 and imovie HD 6 and my audio from itunes plays only for a few seconds and goes out and doesn't play anymore throughout the movie. I'm only using photos and no transitions at the moment. It worked completely fine before upgrading to ilife 06. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)Hello Tia,
iMovie has quite an issue with Music Store files. See Karl Petersens post: Stutter in iMovie 5 & 6 — causes and workarounds
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=534252&tstart=0
What you are looking for is workaround No. 5: Burn iTunes Songs to Audio CD
Generally it is recommended to work with AIFF files in iMovie/iDVD. To convert your iTunes music go to Preferences > Importing and choose AIFF Encoder from the drop-down menu. Now all music will be imported as AIFF. In addition to that you can ctrl-click existing files and choose "Convert to AIFF" from the pop-up menu.
Note that this will duplicate the files, so after conversion you'll have for example one m4p and one AIFF with the same name.
hope this helps

Importing Video From iPhoto doesn't work correctly
I have many videos in iPhoto and they do not appear when iMovie launches. The manual says the following
"Video from your digital still camera or camera phone that you download to your
iPhoto library is automatically available when you open iMovie. In the Event Library,
select iPhoto Videos, and then select the Event you want"
This is not true? ANy help?i have alot of movies on my iphoto and tried to upload to imovie.
the program does not respond!
iPhoto only requires a movie be playback compatible for it to be imported. iMovie requires a file be "edit" compatible before it will import the file at the "Finder" level.
i tried uploading from the hard drive and got the same result.
the only time the imovie actually respond is when i upload directly from my camera
Same result for the same reason. Files imported by the Finder must already be "edit" compatibile with iMovie '08. Files which are imported directly from a camcorder (with the exception of DV) have to be "converted" to become "edit" compatible with iMovie '08. The "Import from Camera" option automatically converts files imported from recognized devices while the import of files via the Finder does not.
Basically, if a file is not DV, AIC, Motion-JPEG, Photo-JPEG, MPEG-4, or H.264 along with supported audio compression formats it will not be accepted/imported by iMovie '08. Either you import the files directly from the recording device (or make the application think it is doing so) or you convert them manually. To know what is best/easiest for you to do, we would first have to know what kind of files (i.e., compression formats) we are dealing with here. -

If u buy something from iTunes like a song or 100 songs and u lose them, let's say u're phone was replaced by waranty. U can see that u purchased songs but u cannot redownload them, not in România i guess ..at least u can redownload apps
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of all of your content.
If you fail to do this, then it is your own fault that you lose your content. -

I have a Windows 7 system. ITunes used to work fine. Recently I am getting a message:
"ITunes has detected a problem with your audio configuation. Audio/Video playback may not operate properly."
I have reloaded and repaired ITunes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Quicktime. Nothing works.
Itunes doesn't work any more on my machine. Anybody?Hey there bogusss,
I would recommend the troubleshooting steps from this article named:
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot run because it detects an issue with QuickTime
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1371
If this issue occurs with iTunes 7.0.2 - 7.6, customers may instead see this error message:
"iTunes cannot run because it has detected a problem with your audio configuration"
If this occurs with iTunes 7.0 or 7.0.1, customers may instead see a -200 error when opening iTunes 7.
Resolution
QuickTime may need to be reinstalled. Follow the steps below to uninstall QuickTime and then download and install QuickTime using the QuickTime standalone Installer.
On the Start menu, click Control Panel.
Follow the steps appropriate for your Windows operating system below.
Windows XP and Windows 2000: Open the Add or Remove Programs control panel and selectQuickTime in the list of currently installed programs.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: Click Uninstall a program (or if using Windows Vista's Classic View of the Control Panel, click Programs and Features) and select QuickTime in the list of currently installed programs.
Click the Remove button (or Uninstall for Windows Vista and Windows 7) and follow the prompts to remove QuickTime from your computer.
Download QuickTime. Note: There are two options for downloading QuickTime, be sure to select the option that does not include iTunes.
During the download:
If you choose to run the installer, proceed to the next step.
If you choose to save the download, double click the QuickTimeInstaller file, then proceed to next step.
Follow the on-screen instructions to install QuickTime.
Reopen iTunes.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

I have some audio files on my previous phone which I would like to export to my new iPhone 5. I am told that you can only import files from iTunes. Is that true? If not, how do I import files from my phone - or my Macbook pro laptop-to my phone? Thanks!
iTunes will only import music from your phone that was purchased from the iTunes store. To transfer music from other sources you have to use 3rd party software, such as PhoneView.

just got an iPad 2 and neither Keynote nor Pages were compatible. when I updated iOS as requisited, the backup from iTunes didn't work. the iPad doesn't connect to iTunes. what do I do?
Usually it's because you are not making internet connection via wifi.
Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Change the channel on your wireless router. Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html

Importing audio from CD-where does it go?
I tried importing audio from a cd tonight for the first time, from within the audio window. Where does the file go? After I quit the song and tried to open again, the file could not be found. I tried importing again. When I put the CD in iTunes opened up and somehow renamed the CD "John Ford Radio"!? Anyway, I figured out that once the file was in the audio window I used the "move" function to copy the file to the song folder.
Is there an easier way to do this?If you import audio from a CD, it stays on the CD. You probably saw a message something like "Insufficient privileges" which means that the OS recognised that it couldn't write the calculated wave overview back to the CD.
The best method is to copy it to your hard disk and check the Ownerships and Permissions within the Finder info. You need to have Read/Write on any audio file.
Finally, when saving your work, always use Save as Project since that will create a single folder with all your files nicely tucked away.

As suspected, my problem of not being able to play or import CD from iTunes 8.1 was internal to iTunes (with a little help from me). iTunes does not recognize the drive letters of A: or B: I wanted the drive letter configuration of my computer to be C:SYSTEM and D:DATA, so I changed the optical drive to A: just like the old floppy drives used to be. (Going old school.) Since iTunes will not accept that, I changed the drive letter of the optical drive to O: (for optical) and everything works.
To do this, go CONTROL PANEL>SYSTEM AND MAINTENANCE>ADMINISTRATIVE TOOLS>COMPUTER MANAGEMENT>STORAGE>DISK MANAGEMENT. All your drives should be laid out in front of you. (If your optical drive isn't listed, you might have to insert a disk and from the menu bar select ACTION>REFRESH.) Left click on your optical drive to select it and then right click on Change Drive Letter and Paths... Select Change, enter any unused drive letter greater than B: (D: is common by default, O: seemed to work) and OK your way out of it.
Changing my drive letters has probably left me open to problems from other programs that don't taken drive letter flexibility into account, but iTunes works for me.
I am e-mailing this to the Apple tech who tried unsuccessfully to help me, placing suspicion on everything except the coding of iTunes. Hopefully, Apple will put this in their knowledge base, because it seems to be a common problem and few know the solution. -
After upgrade to IOS 8.3 sync with iTunes doesn't work
After upgrade iPhone 6, iPad Air to IOS 8.3, the sync (over wifi, as well) to iTunes doesn't work anymore.
On iMAC iTunes, the last sync's hour and day appear different from what is recorded on mobile devices (iPhone and iPad); with IOS 8.2 and the previous iTunes' version the sync worked correctly: the dates are the same only for few seconds after syncronization, then the IOS devices show the syncronization's dates related to two weeks ago.
Thanksyou'll need to contact your carrier.

Garageband wont import song from iTunes
Hi, I've imported songs from iTunes to Garageband many times by just selecting and dragging the song from iTunes into the GarageBand application window. Not sure why... but now that does not work--GarageBand is not accepting the song when I drag it over. Help! I'm using iTunes 10.6.3 and GarageBand 4.1.2.
Update--just saw posting from HangTime with link to instructions to highlight song in iTunes, select "Show in Finder" from the iTunes File pull-down menu, and then drag the song into the Garageband window from the Finder. It worked. Just wondering (now) why GarageBand is not allowing me to simply drag a song into Garageband directly from iTunes.Thank you for posting that 'update' Kingpalm. It just solved my (same) problem, today 1st January 2014!
