Itunes track links via chapters in garageband

i have produced a lengthly podcast enhanced for itunes playback (chapters, images, lnks). 50% is narrative and 50% musical excerpts. i tried to link each audio excerpt via the chapter to itunes (using itunes linkage code) so people could buy the track if they enjoyed while listening to podcast, etc. but i am finding that itunes track linkage is not working or even showing up. i can link to web pages but just not to itunes tracks specifically. is this an itunes bug or what? any suggestions? (btw, i am using garageband 3 to assemble podcast)

I believe Final renders the file to 48KHz on import. I haven't used final cut in a long time but you shouldn't have to re-render at every edit but I could be wrong. Probably best to ask this in the final cut thread.

  • A LOT of iTunes broken links/tracks after Music folder move...

    So yeah, I'm getting a TON of broken links / dead track links in iTunes after having to do two things to my iTunes install recently and I'm at wits end trying to fix it.
    I keep my iTunes Music Folder on an external and share the iTunes library between my work Macbook Pro and my home Macbook. Every Friday I drag my iTunes folder and all contents from my MBP onto an external and replace the iTunes folder on the 'weekend' MB, then do the same back on Monday. I keep my iTunes music 'View' as 'Date Added' so that I can always be listening to whatever is newest. It's how I roll.
    Well, this week I had some data problems during the transfer and had to use a previous week's iTunes Music Folder, which was fine as I hadn't added much this week.
    I also got a new external because the old one was getting a little shady, so after doing the iTunes Music Folder replacement I moved my music all over to a new external drive, told iTunes where it all was at. iTunes did it's thing, 'organized' my stuff and all seemed good - until I got back deeper into the catalogue of music and started getting a LOT of broken tracks. The songs are still there, in the correct folders and all, but for some reason iTunes isn't finding them.
    When I say a LOT, I mean so far it's hundreds of my 13,000 songs.
    Now I COULD use the 'Super Remove Dead Tracks' script from Doug's to find all the broken files then re-add the whole library, but it will add all the old songs out of order because they will get a new 'Added' date.
    I could also manually move thru my whole library holding down the arrow key for 'Next' to find all the broken links then go thru, select them, and use the 'iTunes Track CPR' script from Doug's to re-add them to the library with ratings intact, but still they will be out of order time-wise.
    I cannot find a script that will parse my library, find broken links, and re-associate them with their tracks, nor can I figure out why this happened and any other way to fix it. Repairing permissions hasn't helped. Any other ideas?

    Just to follow up with a more comprehensive example of looping through a Library to detect & repair "missing" file-tracks:
    <pre>
    property kErrAENoSuchObject:(-1728)
    on run
    tell (application "iTunes")
    set theLibraryPlaylist to (first library playlist)
    tell theLibraryPlaylist
    set theNumCandidateFileTracks to (count (every file track))
    repeat with i from 1 to theNumCandidateFileTracks by 1
    -- Get a reference to this file-track
    set thisFileTrackRef to (file track i)
    -- Get this file-track's info (useful for debugging, etc.)
    set thisArtist to (artist of thisFileTrackRef)
    set thisAlbum to (album of thisFileTrackRef)
    set thisName to (name of thisFileTrackRef)
    set thisFileTrackInfo to (thisArtist & " > " & thisAlbum & " > " & thisName)
    -- Display a diagnostic message every 500th file-track
    if ((i mod 500) = 0) then
    tell me
    display dialog ("Checking file-track #" & i & ": " & ¬
    return & return & thisFileTrackInfo) ¬
    buttons {"Cancel", "•"} giving up after 2.5
    end tell -- me
    end if
    -- Retrieve this file-track's target file (an AS 'alias' object), if any
    -- {!!! NOTE: Due to a bug in iTunes 7.x+ (esp. when downloading), AS might
    -- be unable to access the 'location' field of some file-tracks !!!}
    try
    set thisFileTrackTargetFile to (location of thisFileTrackRef)
    on error errMsg2 number errNum2
    -- Check whether it's that bizarre error: (-1728) "Can't get location of …"
    if (errNum2 = (kErrAENoSuchObject of me)) then
    -- Set up to just skip this track (assume it's being downloaded)
    set thisFileTrackTargetFile to (anything) -- (Other than 'missing value')
    else (* Re-signal all other errors *)
    error errMsg2 number errNum2
    end if
    end try
    -- Check whether this file-track is "missing" its target file
    if (thisFileTrackTargetFile = (missing value))
    -- Inform the user
    tell me
    display dialog ("Repairing this missing file-track: " & ¬
    return & return & thisFileTrackInfo) ¬
    buttons {"Cancel", "•"} giving up after 2.5
    end tell -- me
    -- Set up this target file's new pathname (e.g., via explicit user input, or
    -- better yet automatically reconstructed from this file-track's tags such
    -- as Artist, Album, Name, Kind, etc.)
    -- ... Translate this file-track's kind into a filename-extension
    set thisKind to (kind of thisFileTrackRef)
    set thisNameExt to "m4a" -- ... Default
    if ({thisKind} is in {("Protected AAC audio file")}) then -- Older DRM'd file
    set thisNameExt to "m4p"
    else if ({thisKind} is in {("MPEG audio file")}) then -- MP3
    set thisNameExt to "mp3"
    else if (thisKind contains "movie file") then -- E.g., interactive booklet
    set thisNameExt to "mov"
    end -- (thisKind = "MPEG audio file") ... else if ... else ...
    -- ... Auto-build this target file's new pathname
    set thisTargetFileNewPathname to ("New Disk:New Path:" & ¬
    thisArtist & ":" & thisAlbum & ":" & thisName & "." & thisNameExt)
    -- Assign this new target file (as an AS 'alias' object) to this file-track
    -- (This is the crucial step that was impossible in older versions of iTunes!)
    set (location of thisFileTrackRef) to (alias thisTargetFileNewPathname)
    end if -- (thisFileTrackTargetFile = (missing value))
    end repeat -- with i from 1 to theNumCandidateFileTracks by 1

  • How do I get iTunes to link to the music in a new location?

    OK, so right before the hard drive where all my music files originally were located, died, I backed up all my music files the prescribed way via the iTunes support article to a different, external hard drive. I then option-opened iTunes to select the new iTunes music media folder location, no problem.
    BUT - when I click on any of my music titles, iTunes says the file "could not be used because it could not be found. Would you like to locate it?" I have close to 300GB worth of music files. It would be a pain to "re-link" every file one by one. How else can I do this???
    I apologize if this has been answered before, but I searched for a while and could not find the exact same problem. Thanks, in advance, for any help.

    i'm guessing you mean this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751.
    unfortunately, this will only backup your media files but not the heart of your library, the iTunes library file. in the library file, location of the media files, playcounts, ratings, etc. are stored.
    How else can I do this???
    unless you have a copy of said iTunes library file, the only option i can think of is this script:
    _*iTunes Track CPR v1.3*_
    This script attempts to locate the files of so-called "dead tracks"--iTunes tracks designated with (!)--that you assume are not actually missing but are still located in the iTunes Music folder in their "iTunes File Order" (Music -> Artist -> Album -> file.xxx)."

  • How can i make my itunes songs compatible to edit onto garageband?

    i tried dragging my song from itunes into garage band to edit but it doesn't show up. help?

    It is no longer possible to drag directly from iTunes to GarageBand. Open the Media Browser pane in GarageBand and drag from the Audio Tab - iTunes section your songs to the Garageband Tracks panel.
    Or make a detour to your Desktop: Drag the song from iTunes to the Desktop and from the Desktop into the GarageBand  Tracks.

  • Is there a way to redeem an iTunes gift card via the serial number

    Is there a way to redeem an iTunes gift card via the serial number

    yes there is
    I used this when accidentally scratching off some of my code
    Open iTunes and go to Redeem
    Enter any code and click Redeem, it will prompt you for a correct code
    do the same a couple more times until a new item pops up saying "Please re-enter your code or Get Help"
    The 'get help' bit is a link so click on that, you will then get to a Code Redeem Support page where you can input the serial number, providing the serial belongs to a card that has not been previously redeemed then you will get the amount credited to your account
    i can't remember how long this took to credit, but i was just glad that it worked

  • IOS Postal Tracking Links

    When I receive a shipment email from a retailer with a tracking number, iOS 8 recognizes that it's a tracking number and turns it into a link to go to the delivery agent's tracking site.
    I'm in Canada and unfortunately, when something is sent with a Canada Post tracking number (which is most of the time), iOS sends me instead to the USPS tracking site which, of course, results in a "not found" message.
    I bought my iPhone 6 in Canada, all my region settings are Canada, my app and iTunes store are set to Canada, yet a package tracking link defaults to United States.
    Is there any setting I can adjust for this?  It's a great iOS feature, but assuming I'm American renders it practically useless.

    This could be logged by linking to an intermediate page on your own site.
    For example (if your server supports PHP), you could link to http://www.yourownsite.com/jump.php?url=http://www.facebook.com instead of a direct link to http://www.facebook.com
    Then make a PHP file on your server called "jump.php".
    <?php
    header("Location: $_GET[url]");
    // OPTIONAL: you could have PHP write your own log file here
    // if not using GoogleAnalytics or your server's own logging/reporting
    exit;
    ?>

  • How do I use the Services menu to convert text to an iTunes track?

    I'm trying to convert text to an iTunes track using the Services option on the Firefox drop down menu, but having trouble with it. I have set my preferences to turn on that option, but all that happens is I get a spinning wheel at the top of my screen, and it doesn't record. I can't see anything in the iTunes settings that I need to change, but wondering if that could be the problem? Any help would be appreciated.

    Does home sharing allow my husband and I to share our iTunes content?  If so, how does this work?  From what I've read to use home sharing the devices/computers all require the same Apple ID and password.  My husbands iTunes is linked to his email/password and mine is my email/password.  So if that's the case how to we go about sharing?  God I hope that makes sense.

    All apps are forever tied to the Apple ID that bought them. To stop your id from popping up, you need to delete the apps on his phone, and then repurchase them under his account.

  • I changed my Apple ID but my iTunes hasn't updated so I can't access it...do I need to reset all devices to factory settings? or how else do I get the iTunes to link to Apple ID?

    I updated my Apple ID primary email address without having switched off 'Find my....' on all devices. A 2 hour very helpful call with Apple Support solved ny Apple ID and ICloud. Later, I tried to update apps but my iTunes account is still on the old ID and I can't access that email/password anymore. I can't get a support appointment for 48 hours but need to update travel apps soon!
    Do I need to reset to factory settings on all devices (5!) and start again...or how else can i get iTunes to link to my Apple ID now?
    Any help appreciated!

    Thanks, David. But that was the first thing I tried. For some reason, when I try to change my Apple ID back to my old email address, I get the message that that Apple ID is already in use and so I cannot use it! I have tried requesting a password reset using my old Apple ID email, but I've waited and waited and nothing has come to my old email address. This is sooooooo frustrating!
