Jingles and Magic GarageBand copyright question

I am making a project with royalty free music to use in my store and to sell to other businesses.
Am I allowed to use the GarageBand and iMovie jingles without changing them, just as music? Am I allowed to use them if I add something in the background (more drums, for example).
I have already made several Magic GarageBand songs I am planning to use. Is this OK? Thanks.

Cannot Jam along with tracks in Magic Garageband

Maybe I'm missing the point here... but are you supposed to be able to jam along with the band before you create a project?
I cannot do this as I need to go into Garageband and enable the monitor to hear my guitar, or select the correct track if I want to play my USB MIDI keyboard.
Also, there seems to be an awful lot of latency when I play a real instrument with Garageband.. there's about a 1/4 second delay between me plucking the strings and a sound coming out.
Is this normal?

That tends to read like "AppleSpeak", they tend to let you infer things.
the paragraph yo posted is all true, if you don't add the missing words, I think (or add the correct ones)
There's even a spot for you at center stage.
there is indeed (which adds to teh confusion)
Click to select your instrument, from vocals to keys bass or guitar,
Right, you select which type of track you want GB to create in the project for you.
and you can jam along.
...once you create the project.
When you are finished, click 'create project' and Magic Garageband assembles your band."
so that you can jam with it.
That's how I read it, admittedly, MGB was just a curiosity to me, I tested it once, saw how it worked, and moved on. I believe what I'm saying is correct but MGB has not gotten the beating I usually give things when testing because it didn't interest me much as a feature.

Mac Mini 2014 with Apple bluetooth keyboard and Magic Mouse

Hi all,
I'm currently in the process of moving from my old MacBook to a Mac Mini 2014 and I have a couple of questions regarding functionality of the Apple bluetooth keyboard and Magic Mouse with the Mac Mini.
As these are the only keyboard and mouse I have available to me as I currently only have the one computer in the house, I'm wondering how I will pair them with my new Mac Mini (arriving next week for Christmas) without a wired user input device (keyboard or mouse). When I paired them with my MacBook, I of course had its trackpad and keyboard to navigate through the various steps, but as the Mac Mini does not have these, how does the pairing process work? Will I have to get my hands on a wired mouse/keyboard? I'm asking in advance because I need to get my new system up and running to start work on 27th December and so I need to know if I should pick up a cheap wired mouse/keyboard in advance.
My second question relates to the Mac Mini, Apple bluetooth keyboard and Boot Camp. Usually, when I want to boot into Windows on my MacBook, I hold down the Option/Alt key on my MacBook's built-in keyboard to be given the choice of operating systems. Sometimes when I do this using the bluetooth keyboard, it hasn't paired in time and it boots straight into OS X, so I have to wait until that has booted, shut down and then try again. Clearly, this might be a problem on a Mac Mini if I have urgent work I need to complete in Windows, so rebooting over and over until my keyboard finally pairs in time isn't desirable. Any tips here would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance for your help!

If you unpair your BT KB and mouse from the old computer they should pair during the initial setup of the Mini. However, sometimes they donot a wired KB and mouse is required. You can use any USB PC KB and mouse.
Once you get the BT KB to work you can use the Option key on the BT KB while booting to get your choice of OS to boot into.

Previews and Slideshows: a perennial question

Hi all,
I make slideshows in Aperture (and iMovie and iDVD) only once a year, and it seems like I have to re-learn it every time. To all the people who claim that iMovie and iDVD are intuitive, I guess you and I are very different!
But that's beside the point: I know that, for Aperture slideshows to look good, previews have to be set to (at least) the resolution of the playing device. And I know that that's spelled out (a little bit) in the Aperture manual in the Chapter 5 section on "Previews."
My first question is a bit of a vent: why is there no discussion of preview quality in Chapter 20 on "Slideshows" (where it might be useful!)?
And then my real question is: can I -- just before generating the slideshow -- simply "select all" of the versions I want in the slideshow, raise the quality on the previews in "Preferences" and then "Regenerate Previews" -- and then generate the slideshow. (And then go back to previews in Preferences and set it where it was?)
Thank you!

On the second page in the Slideshow chapter of the User Manual, this section is separated and highlighted:
"About Displaying Sharp Images in Slideshows
To display slideshows at the best quality, you should set Aperture to create high-resolution previews. In addition to setting previews to their highest resolution, you should also use full-size previews to prevent upscaling with large displays. If previews are not available, images in the slideshow may not be as sharp as they would be otherwise. For more information about creating high-resolution previews, see Working with Preview Images." (http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/#chapter=22%26section=2)
The Previews page (linked in the original) is one of the most comprehensive of all the help pages.

I Cannot Select instruments/scroll over them in Magic Garageband

When I scroll over the instruments on magic garageband they don't light up and i cannot click on them. Why is this?

In my GarageBand '11 installation on Mavericks, the GarageBand effects are all still available.
See for example for a Rock organ:
Are the effects properly installed in your sytem library? Check the folder
/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument Library/Plug-In Settings/
If not, try to restore them from an older backup. Does your Time Machine backup go back far enough in time?

Where can I get the .wand files for Magic GarageBand?

This is from an earlier post I made...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2477932&tstart=0
I know what the problem is now. The "Magic GarageBand" folder that I have is for the older version of GarageBand and the newer one must of been deleted from an update.
The folder is stored here
Macintosh HD → Library → Application Support → GarageBand

Magic GarageBand unable to "Create Project" -- Missing .caf files

I bought the new iMac on August 7th which came preinstalled with iLife 08.
The rest of garageband works fine, to my knowledge, but the Magic garageband feature does not. I can "Audition" a song and choose all the instruments just fine, but when i click "Creat Project" i receive multiple warnings about it being unable to locate .caf files for each instrument. I end up clicking continue on each warning until i'm finally presented with the main multitrack view in garageband. There are tracks for each instrument, but unfortunately no musical data...so it appears as though the files which contain the tracks of each instrument are for whatever reason missing.
So the first thing i thought was that garageband wasn't installed correctly from the factory, so i reinstalled it using the included disks that came with my imac. the installation completed successfully and i went to run magic garageband again, but the error messages still come up.
Any ideas?

I think I am running into the same problem with a different setup. My students log in to the computer using a network account so their files are saved to a server in my office and not to the machine that is hosting Garageband. I think this approximates the situation that khkremer is talking about and my students have the same problem, not just with Magic Garageband but with voice tracks in a podcast. They just disappear. We've been recording the voice tracks in another sound editing program and re-insert them every period they work on their podcasts. It's a pain and I agree, a bug. Let's hope they fix this problem or I think I will have to stop using the program.

Do I have to power off a wireless keyboard and magic pad ?

Hello,
I am a new iMac user. I recently purchased it with a wireless keyboard and a magic pad. The question may be simple. When I shutdown the iMac, do I still have to power off the keyboard and magic pad ? Or do they power down as well ? From little research I made, it seems like they would power down themselves provided that there is no other Mac with Bluetooth enabled within range. Thoughts ?
Thanks.

The wireless mouse and keyboard that came with my Mid 2010 iMac are now paired with my MacBook Pro when it's on the desk, and the trackpad is on my wife's new iMac with 10.8. I don't turn them off unless I'm traveling with them. The trackpad and mouse can go over a year that way on a set of batteries.
The keyboard on the other hand, behaves differently. Where the other two devices will show slow but consistent decay of battery power over time, the keyboard batteries will stay at 100% for quite a while, then drop suddently to 50%, stay there a while, then give up. I've learned to pack a few extra AA batteries in my travel kit as a result of the unpredicitable dropoff instead of short life.
Still the battery life is pretty good for all three and I don't think it hurts anything to leave them on. I do, and the devices are quickly recognized when I open the computer.
It's up to you and what makes you comfortable. Either way they work.

HELP! Magic GarageBand Unable to audition!

I just bought a new iMac from the store, I recently figured out on the video tutorial that you can make your own virtual band. When I tried this on my mac everything goes well until i try to audition the band, the spotlight doesnt appear and it doesnt let me choose/change any instruments including my own, PLEASE HELP!

Can't save from 'magic garageband' project

Any idea why I can't save from 'magic garageband' project?
The option to 'save/save as' is pale and I am unable to select it? Any ideas would help. Cheers.

if you're still in the Magic GB section, you must use the Open in GarageBand button

What are the differences between the old and new GarageBand?

I'm debating about purchasing the update from GarageBand '11 to the modern GarageBand. Could someone please list out the differences between the two so I can make my decision? I'd prefer both pros and cons, not just added features.

First of all, going from GarageBand '11 to GarageBand 10 is a major upgrade and not just an update. Both applications are very different.
The good news is, that you can and should keep both versions installed. GarageBand '11 will continue to work with GarageBand 10 installed. GarageBand 10 can use the loops and instruments from GarageBand '11, if you do not uninstall GB '11, and so your older projects can continue to work.
There are many differences between both versions.
GarageBand 10's user interface is more like Logic Pro X. Instead of selecting an instrument for a track and then adding effects, you select patches with predefined effects.
GarageBand 10 introduces smart instruments: Drummers that play automatically instead of just drum loops, smart strings, arpeggiators.
Also new: Amp designer to create your own amps.
It is easier to change the articulation for software instruments in the Midi Draw area,
But quite a few features, that made GarageBand '11 great have been discontinued. So really, keep GB '11 installed, if you upgrade. Then you can have the best of both.
Magic GarageBand is gone.
Podcasts are no longer supported. and the Movie track is more restrictive.
The Sound Effect Instruments, that let you add samples to the Musical Typing keyboard are no longer supported.
The iLife Sound effects collection if loops is missing.
The funny predefined vocal effects for the vocal transformer are gone.
Many instruments and loops are gone.
Duplicating tracks links the copies, so you can no longer edit the copies individually.
I am not sure, if my list is complete. These are just the differences, that are important for my workflow.

New iMac 07 horrible video issues in Magic Garageband

I have a 2.0GHz iMac (Mid 2007) with the ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT 128MB graphics, when I click on magic garageband the video has interlaced lines and the colors are horribly distorted. When I click on "audition" then "change genre" it quickly adjusted back to normal than quickly went to its interlaced look. I am going to try to reinstall GB from my DVD. I am also having unrelated video issues in Doom 3 even after the universal updater patch, the video resolution is terrible and I am getting artifacts all over the screen as I play.

Unfortunately, the pictures are no longer available. But I think our brand new iMac 07 has the same issues. It started with corrupted graphics when opening or closing the curtain in Garage Band. But it's getting worse, just have a look at my screenshots:

Is this okay? (Copyright Question)

With all the videos I see posted on YouTube with music from artists and bands, I was wondering if it is legal for me to use music I purchased on iTunes in videos I make on iMovie and then post them to YouTube. I really like the idea of being able to do this but am unsure of the legality of it
Thanks!

ICloud on iPad and iPhone GarageBand

Hi,
A week ago or so, suddenly my iPad and iPhone Garageband Apps lost conenction with my iCloud and all the Garage Band Projects I had stored there.
The App kept saying: connecting with iCloud but never connected.
I decided to delete and reinstall the App in both devices, but onece done so, it was not fixed.
Even worse: The iPhone App is not working anymore. It starts, stays on a black screen for a while and it closes.
The iPad new instal works, but still does not connect with my iCloud files.
What is wrong with all this? I hope I can recover my work stored on the iCloud.
Thanks,

Hello golfman98,
I recommend this part of the iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant found here https://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/application/.
If you get to step 3 I recommend closing ALL the apps. Here is step 2 to get you started:
See if there is an updated version of the app on your iPhone.
Open the App Store and tap Updates. If updates are available, tap Update All. iPhone will then download and install the app updates.
If prompted, enter your iTunes Store account information. iPhone will then download and install the app updates.
Regards,
Sterling
