Loop a piece of music in a podcast

I have a piece of music composed by a friend that I use as an intro bumper and that I play in the background while I talk during a podcast. The piece lasts about 4-5 minutes, and I would like to be able to cause this to loop over and over until I finish talking, usually around 30 minutes. Currently I do this by pasting it in over and over until I get to the part where I finish talking, then I cut it. Is there a way to do this that is easier?

Put the cursor at the end of the region you want to loop until it turns into a "chasing arrow" symbol. Drag to the right, and the region will loop.

I have put 1 piece of music on my movie and it is ok but when I put a second piece on later in the movie I am unable to work with it. Even though I have dropped volume levels for speech it doesn't move. Any ideas ?c

I am using iMovie 11 and have put down a piece of music which is fine. I have done all the adjustments that I needed so far. My problem is that i wish to add another piece of music and whilst I can move it on to the timeline I am unable to control it. I have no adjustments on the track like the earlier piece. Full volume only. Any ideas ?

Hey CarolinQc,
Thanks for the question. The symptoms you are experiencing can result from an Apple ID address that has been changed prior to signing out of all of the services. Before you change the email address associated with your Apple ID, you’ll want to sign out of all services to avoid this. As a fix, you can temporarily change your Apple ID back to the old address:

Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
1. Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
2. Go to Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
          - Scroll down and tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
          - Tap “Keep on My [Device]” or “Delete from My [Device].” In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
          - Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
3. Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
4. Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.

How can I sync both Music files and Podcasts to my Ipod shuffle 4th gen?

I have been trying to do this for a very long time. I own an Ipod shuffle 4th generation and I want to be able to listen to music, podcasts, etc without having to switch between the different formats using Itunes. Everytime I try to sync music and podcasts to my Ipod, it will only play one of the two types but not both. I have plenty of space on my Ipod but it just won't sync music and podcasts together. I have tried using Smart playlists but whenever I try to add the different types of media, it shows nothing in the playlist. Any help with this would be appreciated.

If you are using automatic syncing, you need to set up syncing on the shuffle's Music tab and Podcasts tab in iTunes...
Select your shuffle in iTunes. There is a bar of "tabs" (starting with Summary).
Click on Music there. This Music tab is where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the shuffle. Sync Music is checkmarked, if you use automatic syncing. Your entire iTunes Music library (plus podcasts) probably will not fit, so you can select to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Below that, make a selection of songs to sync by checkmarking playlists, artists, albums, and/or genres. For example, if you want to keep it simple, create a new playlist in iTunes and put ALL songs you want on the shuffle on that playlist. Back on the Music tab, find and checkmark only that one playlist under Playlists as your selection of songs.
Click on the Podcasts tab next. This is where you tell iTunes how to sync podcasts to the shuffle. Sync Podcasts is checkmarked. Make you selection of podcast episodes below.
When you click Apply, your selection of songs and podcasts sync to the shuffle. Going forward, all changes to your iTunes library that relate to your selection on the two tabs sync automatically when you connect the shuffle, or when you click Sync.
When you use the shuffle, podcasts do not play from the default All Songs list. To play podcast episodes, you use the VoiceOver feature to select the podcast from the playlist menu.
This document has information about setting up and using VoiceOver on a shuffle

You can also play podcast episodes from a playlist. If you put podcast episodes on a playlist, that playlist needs to be checkmarked on the Podcasts tab, where is says Include Episodes from Playlists. You can then use VoiceOver to select that playlist from the playlist menu. To play podcast episodes from a playlist, the shuffle's power switch must be in the play-in-order (middle) position. The podcast episodes will then play in playlist order (as you organized them in iTunes before syncing).

Sometimes when listening to music or a podcast, it will stop and start in rapid fire. I have a 4th gen iPod Touch.

Sometimes when listening to music or a podcast, it will stop and start in rapid fire. I have a 4th gen iPod Touch. A Genius suggested something went wrong during the transfer from my MBP to my iPod, but I tried resyncing it, and it seems to happen haphazardly. Even if a podcast plays oddly one time, it might play perfect the next - so it can't have been the sync that went bad.

- First try a reset. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next restore from backup

Trying to figure out time signature of a piece of music to recreate in GB

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to figure out the time signature of a particular piece of music, as I do a lot of work with this particular piece of music and I am attempting to migrate over to GarageBand on a Mac from FL Studio 6 on a PC.
This piece is the theme music to the British science fiction series Doctor Who, created in 1963 by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop. This is a classic and timeless piece of music and I'm prone to doing quite a few recreations and remixes based on this theme.
Wikipedia is hosting a condensed version of the theme at the following URL:
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/5d/DoctorWho_themeexcerpt.ogg
I'm sorry about the strange slight pitch bending up and down... must be some kind of copyright thing. The real piece remains at a constant pitch. I would post mine but I'm sure that it's some kind of copyright violation.
From what I've read online, the original theme was done in a 4/4 time signature at 140 bpm. A good friend of mine insists that it's easier to do in a 4/3 time signature. In FL Studio back on the PC, I did everything in 4/4, but both 4/4 and 4/3 worked fine for me as far as easily laying out the bassline in simple "dum-de-dums" and "diddly-dums" but no matter what time signature and no matter how far I zoom in, I cannot get the correct note lengths for the bassline in GarageBand. I've tried 4/4, which is the most logical of the time signatures, but the notes never fit the correct "dum-de-dum" pattern timing-wise and I can't do a "diddly-dum" because it won't let me divide one section (bar? beat?) into three notes as is required for the "diddly" of the "diddly-dum." (I must sound like a madman referring to the bassline notes as "dum-de-dums" and "diddly-dums," but hey, it works for me.)
Anyway, if someone else could perhaps come in and tell me what I'm doing wrong or another way of configuring GarageBand so that I can put this bassline in properly, I would be most grateful to you!
Thanks so much,
Danny

Danny,
The theme to Doctor Who is in 12/8. In music theory, there's no such thing as a 12th note, the notation and nomenclature is all based on things being divisible by four. So for the diddly-dum feel to happen, you have to give the beat to a quarter note plus another eighth note -- we call it a dotted quarter note, and now you have three eighth notes per beat so you can go diddly. So, since you can't call the time signature 12/dotted quarter, you call it 12/8 and go faster. Make sense? Anyway, for GB's purposes, all you need to know is that you'll get that feel by choosing 12/8.

Anyone been able to sync slides with a single piece of music without drift

Been trying to sync 54 slides to 5 minute piece of music but have not been able to eleminate drift.
Has anyone?
Thanks
Jerry

I too had the sound synch problem....BUT came up with a perfect solution. I spent the money for a Quicktime Pro key. Then, export your Keynote program with all the automatic transitions, etc. as a QuickTime movie. Next, open it in QuickTime Player and also open your sound file in QuickTime. Do a Select All on your sound file and then Copy. Click on the Keynote QuickTime window and under Edit, choose Add Scaled. You can do it the reverse order too. Works flawlessly for me and has saved me many hours of frustration!

Hi
I have an Ipod nano which is nearly 12mths old. Recently the shuffle aspect has not been working and I have to manually press the forward arrows on the screen to move onto the next piece of music. If i dont press the forward arrows the same piece of music plays over and over.
regards

Hello
Tap the screen when playing a song and you should see playback options and tap the repeat until it is white. When it is blue it on repeat and if it has a 1 on it then it is repeating the same song over and over again.

How to manage Music Videos and Podcasts of my iPod manually in iTune?

Can anyone tell me how to manage Music Videos and Podcasts of my iPod manually in iTune? Because I can't see the Music Videos and the Podcast section in iTune under Device when my iPod is connected to my computer. Thanks

iTunes doesn't have a separate *Music Videos* section. In iTunes these are just part of the main Music library. To manually drag a music video to yout iPod drag it onto the iPod or a compatible playlist. To remove, look for it in Music on the iPod and delete.
I think podcasts only work properly when placed on the iPod via the sync tabs. If you manually drag and drop then the files may get treated as general audio & video files.

Can someone please tell me how to extend a piece of music I have created in garageband, I cannot find anything in the help topics and i am new to the system.

Can someone please tell me how to extend a piece of music that I have created in garageband. I am new to the system and cannot find any info in the help topics. The music is currently only 1 minute and I need it to be 1.39sec to fit in with the film it will be used with in iMovie. Thanks.

Yes, it helps.
You are using a version of the newest GarageBand 10.0, and not GarageBand '11 as in your original post. And I was sending you screenshots from GarageBand '11, LOL!
In GarageBand 10.0 is the end-of-song marker hiding behind the zoom controls. Zoom out as far as possible by shifting the zoom scrollbar to the left. Then you should be able to see a corner of the end-of-song marker peeping out behind the zoom control. Try to grab it with the mouse pointer and shift it to the time you want.

Original computer crashed. How do I sync music, apps, books, podcasts, etc. to my new computer?

Move or copy the content from the old computer to the new computer.
iDevices are not backup devices.

You badgered me into installing the latest Itunes and now I cannot find my music nor my podcasts. Where the **** are they?

I was badgered into installing the latest Itunes and now I cannot find my music nor my podcasts. Where the **** did they go and how can I get them back? You folks at Apple sure make it hard to like you or want to use your products.

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't normally lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to a recent state.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
Would you mind telling me which anti-virus package you use? It may be that it is disturbing iTunes when it tries to write out the fresh database, as it does after almost any activity with your library. I'm noticing more of this type of problem than usual and trying to see if there is any pattern. It may help to prevent a repeat of the problem if you look at the advanced options for your AV package and see if you can find a way to exclude the main iTunes library folder (and subfolders if possible) from any real-time scanning process.

Downloading partial piece of music to convert to ringtone

I downloaded a partial piece of music from my computer and tried to use it as a ringtone. The ringtone did not work properly as it played only a small piece of the download, interrupted to brief silence, then played a small portion again. It repeated this process several times. The music piece is 58 seconds long so perhaps a ring tone this long cannot be used. I have a Blackberry 8900 series.

That's hard to say what is wrong with your ringtone file.
Does it play ok if you use a normal mp3 file as a ringtone?

Hi, all. I am looking for a piece of music on the iTunes store but cannot find it at all!

Hi, its called Gassenhaur (i think lol) by Carl Orff, heres a youtube link to the piece of music im looking for
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7PotgU3Yms
Oh, and i dont want the version from True Romance, I already have that ;0)

Not all music is available in iTunes, Apple can only sell in a particular country what the record companies have granted them licenses to sell. If it's not in your country's store then is it available on other music purchase download sites that you have access to ?

I recently bought a 4th generation ipod shuffle. Am I able to have both music and audio podcasts loaded on it at the same time?

I have not been able to include both music and audio podcasts on my shuffle at the same time. Is this possible with the shuffle?

I disabled all my computer's firewalls and sure enough, IT WORKED!! My iPod is updated and just now finishing restoring! Thank you SOOOO SOOO much. : D
