Large music file synch problem

Synching iTunes-iPhone works fine but for one issue - have a couple of (iTunes purchased) Nike training programs consisting of multiple music files and one large one which is the actual 40 minutes training program. Just under 40 Mb small.
All the music files synchs works as normal, and the progress bar shows the big training files to be copied over but no trace of them on the iPhone. Tried changing folders to synch etc etc to no avail.
iPhone 8GB, Orange bog standard setup, last OS and all updates etc. Music in question bougth at iTunes Store in France (which is the locality)

Hehe, thanks anyway!
Nope it's not a video, just a looong piece of music file (whole 40 minutes training sequence in one go - almost 40 Mb).
And I've been all over the iPhone - genres, compilations, albums, composers...even in podcats, videos and podcasts. All the other songs on the albums are where they should be, just not these two (two albums - speed and endurance programs).
Tried single file update and as in all other cases, progress bar shows it going over but no race of it on the iPhone. Tried changing names on the files in case the funny French accents messed up, but nooo...
Baffling.

Is there a good way to add a large music file to itunes match without itunes crashing?

I have several large music files that are DJ sessions and anywhere from 1-3 hours long. I deleted them from itunes while matching because they were causing match to crash at step 3 every time. I would like to add these files into match now but every time I try, it crashes again. Anyone know of a work around for this?

The iTunes Match service is designed to exclude such Songs. Perhaps handling them as Podcasts would help you.

ITunes 8.2 has problems handling larger music files

Hi,
After upgrading to iTunes 8.2, I have begun to notice that the program is halted with larger mp3 files. I have quite a lot of music files with size 200MB and above and before opening them, iTunes stops for about 10-15 seconds (with "beach ball" on the screen), then the playback starts normally. This is not an actual problem, but pretty annoying though. iTunes 8.2 behaves in the same way both on my black MacBook, as well as on my oldie G4 iMac running Tiger. Never noticed such a behaviour with earlier 8.1 version of iTunes.
Has anyone encountered similar problem and could there be any remedy? Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Matt

iso_omena,
I can't duplicate your problem here, so maybe there's something about your machine or the software installed on it. Do you have any iTunes plugins installed?
You can also take a sample of iTunes while it's hung and send it to our good buddy, Roy, who will forward it to the right Apple engineers. To sample iTunes:
1. Open the terminal app in /Applications/Utilities
2. Get iTunes into the state where you have the spinning cursor and the music's not playing.
3. At the command prompt in the terminal window, type in "sample iTunes 10". This will sample iTunes for 10 seconds and then tell you where it put the output file.
4. You need to send that file to <[email protected]>. Make sure that you include:
(1) the sample file.
(2) the link to this thread.
(3) a one line description of your problem, i.e. "iTunes crashes on launch".
(4) the username that you're using here in the discussion boards.
Roy is getting a little swamped with messages and needs to make sure he gets all the information. And if he doesn't get that information, the message is just going to get dropped on the floor.

Invisible corrupted music files / progressive problem

I just discovered I have a growing corruption problem in iTunes. It seems to be affecting only songs which I have created myself from my own commercial CDs. Sons acquired over the internet are not affected.
All of my songs show up in the master list on iTunes. I am syncing to a 1st generation 4gig Nano. I am at the capacity limit or within 25 mgs below the limit. I recently realized that I wasn't listening to some of my music & I thought that was odd. I then discovered that the songs are invisible & cannot be accessed on the Nano.
I removed the songs from iTunes & trashed the files. I tried to recreate the songs again from the original comercial CD. I again found out I could not sync them to the Nano. The message I recieved was that the songs in selected playlists could not be added because they exceeded the storage amount on the Nano. iTunes indicated the total storage amount on the Library was at 3.75mgs at this point.
I found that if I deleted them again & synced, I could. So far so good.
Now I have found that even after going through the ENTIRE library and trashing every single file that appeared in the library but did not show up on my Nano, this problem is a progressive problem & is converting what I thought to be safe files into corrupted files.
What can I do about this? I am now spending 1 hr each time I want to sync & is becoming a night mare.
I also considered trashing iTunes & reinstalling, but I
a) cannot find the root application on the HD
b) cannot find the original iTunes older (not 7.02) application anywhere.

Have you done the '5 R's' to your Nano? http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
FYI - the Nano will not actually hold 4 gig - it will be a little less - but you knew that.
All tunes on the Nano/iPod are 'invisible' by default when viewed via the Finder. You can view the files by using a program that will show you invisible files such as TinkerTool.
Your iTunes app should be in the Applications folder. If not then do a Spotlight search of your HD.
To find older versions of iTunes go here http://www.oldapps.com/downloadiTunesmac.php
You will need to remove from the HD>Library>Receipts>iTunesX.pkg - move the iTunesX.pkg to the trash along with the iTunes app.

File Synch problem with timestamp

Win2k, LabVIEW 7.0
I'm trying to do file synchronization between the data files I produced on the local disk, and a remote server.
I am doing a LIST FILES on the local folder, and a LIST FILES on the remote folder.
For each file, I do a GET FILE INFO, and look at the LAST MOD data (a TIMESTAMP value).
For each file in the SOURCE folder, I match it up with the corresponding entry in the DESTINATION folder.
I then compare the times, and if the SOURCE timestamp is greater than the DEST timestamp, then I delete the DEST file, and COPY the source file to the DEST.
There are a few files that fail this process, though, and I am puzzled as to why.
If I look (via Windows explorer) at the properties of one of these files, it says the LAST MOD date is 6:09:20. That is the case for BOTH the local copy and the remote copy.
However, the SYNCH logic above insists on copying this file every time it runs. When I add logging stuff to the synch process, it tells me that the local file has a date of 6:09:21, and the remote file has a date of 6:09:20, so it wants to copy it.
But after the copy, things are exactly the same - Windows shows the times identical, but LabVIEW shows them ONE second apart, and copies them AGAIN the next time it runs. This is true for about 6 files out of a folder of 50-60. I suppose I could allow for that one second, if I knew why it was there.
What's biting me here? If the file really had a MOD DATE resolution of 1 mSec say, then I could understand that maybe the PROPERTIES window truncates the value, and the TIMESTAMP does not. But even then, it ought to copy ONCE and set them the same...
The "Server" I am testing on is running OSX, 10.4.6, if that matters.
What am I missing?

It
is a file system issue. NTFS uses something like a 100nSec resolution
but historically the FAT file times have had a two second resolution.
Apparently the Property dialog does convert the timestamp to a DOS time
all the time before displaying it.
Your MacOSX system uses a completely different resolution (at least 1
sec but probably better). The network protocol does allow for high
resolution transmissions and so the exact time gets transmitted but
somehow your local system has a DOS limitation for the harddisk volume
in question so that LAbVIEW returns the DOS time too for the local
volume. The Explorer property dialog will always show DOS time only it
seems, I had similar issues in the past but didn't really dig deeper,
just accepted the 1 second difference.

Relocating music files after using migration assistant and time machine

Hello
I recently purchased an i7 MBP because my previous 15 in was stolen. Luckily I had a time machine backup of the old machine - my previous MBP was the Intel 2 Core Duo model just before the refresh to the i5/i7s
So far what I did is ran migration assistant to bring my files over
Everything seems to be fine, except when I got to iTunes much of my music is listed but I get the exclamation mark symbol next to most of the music and movies and apps
I am trying to figure out how to fix this and relocate my files
I know I could access my time machine backup by browsing other time machine disks, but I can't browse the music folder in a previous backup because I don't have the permisson to access it
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Victor:
If you correctly transferred your music files the problem is with your iTunes Library file.
Open iTunes and quickly press the option key. A window will show to ask you to select the library file. Browse for it and it should fix the problem.

Importing large audio file. HOw do I expand 'measure' limit?

I can import the large WAV file no problem. My problem is I cannot listen to it all because the default 'measure' limit is somewhere in the 200's and the imported file is significantly longer than that. I can drag it at the top to be as long as I like but this takes a long time to manually drag it out to be longer. There got to be an easier way to do this. ANy help would be great.

The actual figure from the manual is "8550 quarter notes, or about 2158 bars in 4/4 time".
Whatever the time signature or tempo, the limiting factor is the number of quarter notes — 8550 of them. So if your file would extend over more quarter notes than that at the current tempo, then adjust the tempo to be as low as is necessary to give you the duration you require.

Best way to send a large sound file via e-mail?

Hello,
I created a sound file in Sound Studio that is 75.5 MB large. I want to e-mail it to a friend through my Hotmail account. (I have a cable connection. I do not have AOL. And I just discovered that I can play it on my computer using QuickTime.)
What is the best way to do this? Do I need to compress it? I have heard of compressing large files to make it easy to e-mail, but I don't know how to do it. If so, will he be able to hear it when he opens up the e-mail on his end?
If anyone could give me step-by-step instructions on how to send this, I'd be most grateful. Thank you.

If you have Stuffit Expander check inside the folder for Drop Stuff.
Drop the movie file onto Drop Stuff.
This will compress the music file.
Or
You can send large music files through You Send It which is FREE!
There are others but, You Send It is the easiest.
Or
Since you have a High-speed connection, the easiest & fastest way is through AIM (AOL Instant Messenger). You do not need to be a member of AOL.
I send all my music & movie files this way instead of using email.
iChat has the same ability of transferring large files as AIM.

How do I solve this Nano 3G syncing problem? During the syncing process my music files are registering as audio, but once I eject the IPOD it does not reveal the music files in the music folder.

During the syncing process my IPOD Nano 3G shows that the music files that I'm synching are registering as audio, and that the video files are registering as video, and even upon completion they are still labeled as such. But, when I eject the device from ITUNES and turn it on, the IPOD reveals that there are no music or video files to be played. When I plug the device back into my MAC and, when ITUNES recognizes the device, uder the summary tab the summary bar reads that the files that I loaded are all classified as other files. What could be causing this? I had to re-install my Tiger Software, and since then I've been having this problem.

Problems scrolling through large audio files

Hi,
i purchased a "2nd Gen. iPod Nano"; "firmware ver. 1.0.1".
Now i have a problem with "scrolling" through large audio files. I have uncut 3 hours files and when i want to scroll to a position that is more to the the end of the file, it either lags for like 2-5 sec. until it starts to play from that position, or, what happens more frequently, it stops playing altogether and sets me back to the "music" menu.
In itunes, everything plays fine.
Did anyone have the same problem, or knows a solution? maybe a firmware update (yet to come) will solve this? hmm...

Hi,
A week or two ago I read PC Magazine's article regarding the new Nano, and this issue was listed specifically.
Here's the link to the article:
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,2015761,00.asp
If you read the editorial note updated 9.27.06, you'll see that firmware version 1.02 corrects this problem:
"Editor's Note: Apple has released iPod nano software 1.0.2 on 9/27/06, which fixes the bug (noted in my review) that caused problems when scrubbing through long VBR-encoded MP3 files."

Problems viewing large tif files in preview

i'm having trouble viewing large tif files in preview. the tif files are on a cdrom - when i click on the file to open it, it opens only the first 250 pages of the file. the file has approximately 3,000 pages. how can i get preview to open the rest of the pages?
thanks for any suggestions.
mac mini Mac OS X (10.4.6)

no trick - i didn't create the cdrom but it only has 3 tif files with approximately 3000 pages each, not 3000 large tif files. plus several smaller pdf files, but those aren't giving me any problems.
i don't know whether they're compressed, but i still can't get more than the first 250 pages to open, even after copying the file to my desktop. if anyone has any other ideas, i'd much appreciate it.

Zen Touch 40 GB: problems transferring music files and playli

Hi,
Creative Zen Touch 40 GB, one year old<
[color="#330000">PlaysForSure Firmware 2..0<
Creative MediaSource Organizer 5.0.38<
Creative?Sync Manager 5.0.9.0<
Windows XP Service Pack 2<
527?music (.wma) files on the player; 4205 MB of free space<
I'm finding it increasingly difficult to?transfer music files and playlists to my Zen Touch player now that the amount of free space on it has fallen below 5 GB. More often than not, it's necessary to put the player into Recovery mode, perform a clean-up, and then reboot and rebuild the library before Sync Manager works properly. I often need to repeat this process several times before I can transfer anything. Increasingly, too, Windows fails to detect the presence of the player when I connect it to my computer. Rebooting both the player and the computer usually fixes this issue. Transferring files by dragging and dropping in Windows Explorer is obviously much quicker than using Sync Manager, but here again I keep running into problems. It's as if the player freezes and refuses to take on-board any more files. Also, I can't find a way to transfer playlists except with Sync Manager. Are these known problems? I recalling running into similar issues with the Zen Touch 20 GB a few years ago. And could the fact that I'm doggedly using an old (998) and underpowered computer be an issue? I'm thinking of replacing the computer anyway, but is it likely that these synchronization problems would diminish or disappear altogether if I were to upgrade to something speedier?Thanks for any insights,Pete

I too have a simular problems! Managing music is the biggest problem with over 0 Gigs. Some artists songs sometimes change name titles, artists,?and etc. Win Explorer is most used by me now. Yes, I do lose sync from time to time! Especially when I open two windows on the portable zen. There are two tools that need. . Playlist management - it takes too long to do it on the player. I want to create "Gym Vibes" and had it on my old creative?Nomad player, but couldn't transfer. "Creative Sync Manager" doesn't do it!?Without all that sync stuff how can I create and edit creative's playlist on a PC?2. A method for detecting dupicates?This is my second creative portable and if I don't get the tools I won't buy another!

Problems during copying music files from iTunes 10.6.1 to iPhone

1st problem
In new iTunes 10.6.1 on my MBP when copying music on iPhone if during copying add additional musical files in queue, copying of files from the previous queue stops. In the previous iTunes version of such problem didn't arise. Whether there is a solution of this problem?

You would have to purchase 10.6 (Snow Leopard) and install it, assuming your computer is compatible.

Please Help.....

What happend is your phone forgot it was authorized to work with items associated with your apple id. If it happens again, download any free app to prompt the sign in, once you install the free app the others should work.
