ITunes creating a song from a music video...

is there a way to disable that?

Weird indeed, but I have seen this before.
Close and repopen iTunes. Close and reopen iMovie.
Still not there?
Reboot your Mac.

Hi
SlideShow in iDVD has a 99 photo limit - more than this and all sorts of error occures.
One can have more than one SlideShow on a DVD = X times 99 photos.
or assemble SlideShows in a movie editor (no limit at least not under 650 photos)
(only limit is Time in iDVD (movie time + MENU time --- 60 min or 120 min on SL-DVD and about twice on DL.-DVD )
I use
• iMovie up to HD6 - or -
• FinalCut any version
As they will give a better quality than iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 can do.
Yours Bengt W

Imovie won't let me drag the songs from the music and sound effects into my 'project'... I have tried everything, restarting itunes and imovie, dragging the songs to my desktop and then onto imovie, youtube tutorials...

Don't drag them, import them from Media.

The procedure is the following:-

*Click Ok.
* Again right click in the same song and click the CREATE AAC VERSION
* Now you can see the same two song. if you have made the short length in step 2, lenght will be different.and this will be in (.m4a) format. and if you dont see on itunes you can search the name on finder. you will find both files.
* Now you try to change the format (.m4a) to (.m4r), you just delete a and add r and press enter bottom. and conform it.
*Now you add this files to the ringtone/tones on itunes which is located on the left side bar of itunes.

*go to your device on itunes. Under the tones check in sync tones. You can Sync all tones or the particular tones which you want.
*Now this tone is on your iphone. You can change your ringtone through setting>sound>ringtone and choose the particular one.

ITunes deleted my songs from my HARD DRIVE!

iTunes not only has deleted a few files from my library, but it ALSO deleted songs off my hard drive!
I thought, "Well, maybe they just got moved around somehow." But, I thought about how much I go into my iTunes folder and then it dawned on me that I hadn't done that in about a month or so. The deleting thing started happening about a week ago. It's a few songs a day. Seriously. *?
I feel like if I'm spending several thousand dollars on Apple's products (computers, accessories, and music), Apple needs to be a little more appreciative.
If it's a bug in the new iTunes, then Apple needs to be sensitive to the fact that music is LOST permanently! It's frustrating to think about all the music that I've lost and PAID for. If I'm using the iTunes store and iTunes to buy/play music, then Apple needs to come out and apologize and reimburse for what was lost.
I can understand why some of you are frustrated that iTunes is deleting songs from your library, but is there anyone else who is having music deleted from their hard drive?
<Edited by Moderator>

I'm a bit upset, too. It's only deleted one song, but why did that random song go, and when will it happen to 100s of them?
I have the song on CD and can re-rip it, but that's not the point - it shouldn't go missing from the hard drive.
I've aleady resigned myself to backing up the ITL library file on a regular basis in case it gets mysteriously corrupted.
I'm not sure iTunes deleted this song, but it sure is suspicious.

ITunes Match deleted songs from my hard drive. I had to re-rip them. How can I stop this from happening?

iTunes Match deleted songs from my hard drive. How can I prevent this from happening if I try it again?

iTunes Match can in no way be considered a backup service, this is due to the inexact nature of the 'matching process' (see https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4112, for more detail).
Loss of files from a Disk is certainly possible through media failure. However, the extent of iTunes Match capacity is solely to influence the content of the cloud. Perhaps there was a coincident, or pre-existing, failure of the disk which was simply exposed by the iTunes Match interrogation of the disk content.
There are certainly other services which depending upon your goal may work well. For example, Google Play with gBeats IOS App works very well. My use of Match is to synchronise across several computers and to drive Apple TV and an IOS device - other IOS devices still use sync for specific music and are complimented by gBeats for access to the full library when local mobile signal strength is high.
The strong advice to always start with a secure backup remains but if your primary concern is iTunes Match interfering with physical disk content you can relax - it simply does not have this ability. (Apology to Sherlock, further investigation required).

My iPod nano completely eliminated all 214 songs from my music, leaving just the songs I recently purchased (9). How can I get them back? I've tried redownloading them but it didn't work.

My iPod nano completely eliminated all 214 songs from my music, leaving only the 9 songs I last purchased. When I try to sync, I get a message, "cannot be synced because the iPod cannot be found."

When you say "account," do you mean your iTunes library, because your iTunes library is what is on your computer? Your iTunes library does not have an email address. An account that is related to iTunes is your Apple ID (which is an email address) and you use it as your user name to sign in to the iTunes Store, to make purchases. Changing your Apple ID will not make songs disappear from your computer's iTunes library.
If you had an Apple ID and used it to make song purchases from the iTunes Store, and then started using a different Apple ID, you should be able to re-download the songs purchased with the old Apple ID. In iTunes, sign in to the iTunes Store using your OLD Apple ID (and password). That may not be your current email address, but Apple uses it as your user name, so it does not matter.
On the iTunes Store Home screen, click on Purchased under QUICK LINKS. This takes you do the Purchased screen, where you can re-download previous song purchases (for that Apple ID) at no cost.
NOTE: If those song purchases are from more than a few years ago, you may also need to authorize your computer to play (and sync) songs for your old Apple ID.
For songs that were not purchased from the iTunes Store, if they are also gone, you cannot get them back unless you have a backup (or they are still loaded on your old iPod).
If that's not what you mean by "changed the email address on my account," please post back with more details.

I got the new iPhone 5 how can I make a song from my music a ringtone, I got the new iPhone 5 how can I make a song from my music a ringtone

I got new iPhone 5 can't figure out how to make one of the songs from my music playlist a ringtone

There are many apps in the App Store, which you can download (many are free) that will let you take a song on your phone and turn it into a ringtone. Virtually all of them will require that once you've made the clip, you do something like email it to yourself, then connect your phone to your computer, save it iTunes, then sync it to your ringtones library on your phone. Go to the App Store and type in Ringtone. Lot's of options will appear.

Hey ChandlerAdaway!
I have an article here that can provide you some guidance for this issue. First, you will want to check for the songs in your past purchases list for your account, if you haven't already:
Downloading past purchases from the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
If the songs cannot be found there, you will want to report an issue with your download by following the directions in this article:

Why can't I create a ringtone from my music on iTunes?

I have just been looking at the instructions for making a 30 second ring tone from my music collection. The option doesn't seem available to me and the advice states
'Ringtones are only available for purchase from the U.S. iTunes Store.'
So if I'm based in the Uk how can I do this?
Thanks

Creating a ringtone is very easy using iTunes 8.x.
It has to be a non-drm song though.
1) In iTunes click the song you want to make a ring tone from.
2) Then in iTunes, go to File -->Get Info.
3) In that now open screen go to Options. In that window, define the Start Time and the End Time by entering both in the boxes (that should automatically check the check box as well). Click OK.
4) Go to Advanced -->Create AAC Version. That will then create a duplicate version of the song, but it will only be of the length you set in Step 3.
5) Highlight that song title, then drag it do your desktop.
6) Edit the song title file extension to change the last letter to "r". You'll be prompted for the "Are you sure...." check, select OK.
7) IMPORTANT -- now with the duplicated song highlighted in your iTunes, go to Edit -->Delete to remove that short version. You MUST do this or iTunes will not let you add the ring tone you placed on your desktop to your library.
8) Drag from the desktop your ringtone to iTunes Library (left hand in frame menu). That will add it to your Ring Tones library (and/or create a Ring Tones tab if for some reason you didn't already have one).
9) Sync your iPhone as usual, ensuring in your synch preferences you have authorized the synching of ring tones.
10) IMPORTANT -- now go back to the original song track, go back to File -->Get Info and ensure that you deselect the two boxes checked in Step 3 (else you'll limit your next play of this track to 15 or 30 or whatever seconds!).
That's all there is to it! It is very easy to do and once you've done it a couple of times you'll be creating a ring tone in about 30 seconds.

ITunes has no sound when playing music/videos from iTouch

Hi,
When I plug my iTouch into my computer to play the songs/video on it, iTunes shows that it is playing but there is no sound. Also, when I try to play a song from my iTunes library or store, it doesn't play at all.
The sounds on my computer are fine, because everything else that makes a sound works.
Can anyone help me please?
Thank you

I have almost the exact same problem, except that mine is without the iTouch. My itunes is working perfectly - uploading music from CD's, searching for music, syncing with my iPod classic. However when i ask it to play any music it will say that it is playing yet not only will no sound come out but the timer bar will not move either. it is the same with music in the itunes store and happens regardless of what else is happening on my laptop.
i know my sound works fine with all other programs, and i read on another forum that 'repairing' itunes through the control panel fixes it, however this is not the case.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

ITunes 10 - no way to stop music video, keep song playing?

In an earlier version of iTunes (not sure how old) there was an option to stop music video playback but continue playing the soundtrack, by keeping the video in the "Now Playing" artwork window. Now the only options are to play it in the viewer, in a separate window, the iTunes window, a separate window, full screen or full screen (with visuals) -- but NO option to stop the video altogether.
It doesn't seem like a big deal, but I don't want that video sucking up processing power when all I'm doing is listening to music while working. And I also don't want to cut videos out of my playlists altogether; that's not really a solution at all, just a workaround.
I seem to recall it was pretty easy maybe just clicking on the preview window? Now all that does is open the video in a new window (and closing that window stops the song.
SO -- any thoughts? Or is the option there somewhere and I just haven't found it? Thanks in advance!

Really!? No way to do this? It seems like such a waste. Do I REALLY have to open the videos in Quicktime Pro, export the soundtrack, import that into iTunes, and remove the videos from my playlist? Because that's the only way I can think of to work around this.
But it seems like such a hack.

ITunes deleting songs from my music folders?

Okay, this has happened to me TWICE now since the upgrade. I've plugged my iPod in and I get a message saying there are songs on the iPod not in the library (I only connect my iPod to this computer, there's NO way songs could have gotten on from anywhere but my library). It asks me if I want to transfer them to the library. The first time, not knowing quite what it was asking, I'll admit, I clicked on "Transfer." I realized seconds later that a good 90 files that had been on my iPod were deleted from my music folder entirely. I had to retrieve them from the recycle bin and reimport them (one at a time, because iTunes wouldn't allow me to do them en masse for some reason).
Earlier tonight, I plugged in my iPod and got the same message. This time I just cancelled the box, and it did it AGAIN -- deleted 88 files that I had to dig out of the recycle bin and reimport. This, of course, also means shifting them each back to all of the playlists I'd put them in and, in the case of several files that I didn't rip from a CD (short TV soundbytes and the like) having to retype the "artist," "album" and so on information. Needless to say, all of the ratings and play count information was eradicated as well.
Can ANYONE explain to me why this is happening and what I should do to prevent it from happening again? I'm using a 512mb iPod shuffle on a Dell Inspiron 5100 with Windows XP, if it matters.
Dell Inspiron 5100 Windows XP
Dell Inspiron 5100 Windows XP
Dell Inspiron 5100 Windows XP

It has now done this THREE times, and this time it didn't give me the "transfer files" prompt first. I simply plugged in my shuffle and lost 108 sound files. Someone, PLEASE help!
