In Garageband 10.0.1, why can't I record over an existing track "on the fly"?

If I have a track that has a mistake on it, in the older version, I could play the song and just hit the record button when I wanted to record over the mistake on that same track.  It was really useful. Now I can't seem to do that. Help?!?

First, let me say that the new iMovie 10.0.1 is utterly frustrating!  It is so much less user friendly than iMovie 9.  I liked having all the tools in my face with the old version.  Now I have to spend an hour just finding things and learning how to do things all over again.
You'll find you still have iMovie version 9 in your Applications folder. Why not keep using it?
My concern is that I'm done editing for today and I want to quit the app.  In version 9, all I had to do was quit and everything was automatically saved.  Now, iMove 10 says "Are you sure you want to quit? Tasks that are currently in progress will not be completed."  What tasks?  I'm certain I did everything "by the book".
iMoive is completing rendering or some other task that it does in the background. It does work in the background so that you can keep working and not have to wait for it.
Also, I couldn't find the option to export to iDVD.  Is this a thing of the past now?  Do I have to save the file first and then drag the file to iDVD to burn?  There seems to be extra steps involved now.
Yes. It is a thing of the past as far as Apple is concerned.

  • Why can't I record over 1:16 in Garage Band?

    I'm recording and editing a few loops I had in mind and as soon as I put everything together, I tried to extend the loops to make it into a track, but the farthest I can edit and/or record my track is 1:16, it doesn't notify me about anything. Why is that?

    Is the end of song marker or cycle regions set to 1:16?

  • Why can't I record a new track?

    Hi. I'm getting reacquainted with the new Garageband and laid down an acoustic mandolin track. Now I want to lay down an acoustic guitar track. But no matter where I click to activate the new acoustic track, the recording seems to go OVER the mandolin track (which I also can't hear). Why can't I record a new track where the guitar is indicated, and why can't I hear the mando as I do this? In the previous version of garageband this was straightforward. Thanks, david

    We need to know more details. 
    Have you set the "Record enable" button in the track header?  (Track > Track Header > Show Record enable). Which track is enabled for recording?
    Have you set an input in the Smart Controls > Info pane for the track?
    Also:
    What kind of track did you use? An Audio Track? A Guitar Track?
    Did you create the Guitar track by duplicating the Mandolin track? Then Crate a new track for your guitar from scratch. Dplicating tracks will link them.

  • Why can't I create a gallery in iPhoto in the normal way who in the past? If I sent the gallery to another the pictures are deleted!

    Why can't I create a gallery in iPhoto in the normal way who in the past? If I sent the gallery to another the pictures now will be deleted!

    Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.

  • Why can´t  I find my 5d Mark ii in the finder when I connect it with my mac?

    Why can´t  I find my 5d Mark ii in the finder when I connect it with my mac?

    Because it is not a mass storage device that would appear in the Finder. It uses the Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) to interface with a computer. It can be accessed using an application that uses PTP, such as Image Capture, iPhoto, Aperture, or Canon's software. These applications also support more camera-specific features than the Finder would, such as tethered shooting and possibly camera clock synchronization.

    In an inline renderer, the compiler knows which document will be the “outerDocument” so it sets up special code to assign that value.  I think you can use parentDocument or owner.document

  • RENAME:  When I rename a photo why can I not find it doing a search?  The photo obviously keeps its old name even though it has a new one   IPhoto 09

    When I rename a photo why can I not find it doing a search?  The photo obviously keeps its old name even though it has a new one>  IPhoto 09

    Thanks, that makes sense.  If I do a search in IPhoto I find it.  I have 6 grand children and also have had my camera for quite awhile and it starts file names over again after 10,000 pictures. (I don't have all these on the computer) but now I have some files with the same name  ie  img_4   and img_4
    Thanks again for your help!!

    why can't I re-download already purchased music from the itunes store?

    What country are you in ? Re-downloading music isn't currently possible in all countries (the record companies need to agree to it for each country). If you are in a country where music can be re-downloaded, then if the tracks are still in the store then they should show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.

    Usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up
    To restore to factory settings/new iPod see:
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software

  • Why can't I share my project? None of the options in the share dropdown menu is available.

    why can't I share my project? None of the options in the share dropdown menu is available.

    Your project is already saved in an iMovie Library on your hard drive. Re-installing iMovie will not affect your project or event files.
    To reinstall iMovie, just drag the iMovie application from the Applications folder to the trash.
    Reboot your Mac.
    Go to the Mac App Store and look under Purchases for iMovie and click Install.
    You cannot edit your iMovie 10 project in iMovie 9.
    iMovie 10 is so stripped down that one really needs to either go back to 9 or, if they can afford it, move up to Final Cut Pro X. If you're strapped for cash at the moment, you can download a trial version of the new Final Cut Pro X 10.1 and get 30 days of free usage out of it, even if you've already been using a free trial of 10.0.9.

  • Why can't I post my resume from Pages to the web or an email on my iPad?? I've tried using iCab, downloading google docs, etc. I understand it's not possible from iPad but why???

    Why can't I post my resume from Pages to the web or an email on my iPad?? I've tried using iCab, downloading google docs, etc. I understand it's not possible from iPad but why??? If I can't use safari to do it is there any other way?? Seriously, are iPads only used for watching Hulu, playing games, fb and twitter? My phone can do that!! Worst $500 I ever spent.

    We don't want to email it.....  we want to upload it.
    Then why did you say (emphasis added):
    Why can't I post my resume from Pages to the web or an email on my iPad??
    There are plenty of methods for putting a resume online, where a potential employer can download it, though admittedly the iPad is less flexible in this regard than a computer.  Nobody ever has claimed otherwise.  However, I get the feeling you're not actually looking for an answer to anything, and you're just posting to complain.  Note that that is a violation of the Apple Support Communities Terms of Use, which you agreed to when signing up for an account here.
    I wish I had gotten a Galaxy Tab.
    Then sell your iPad and go buy one.  You will have no problems whatsoever finding a buyer.

    Why can't I move a folder from Contacts to the address line in mail?

    If all of the contacts don't get moved into the address field(s), it's possible that some of the contacts in a Group contain  information but not email addresses for those individuals.
    Don't really know what else to suggest except, possibly, that you delete, then re-create the problem Groups.
