MP3 and CD eject problems

I've started using logic express for a sound design class and have come up on some sticky
problems.
#1 Mp3's won't import (I've posted this previously) The audio window sees the mp3's,
plays them, but won't convert and put them in the project folder.
#2 having spotty problems with cd's that won't eject on some of the computers, keep getting error that another application is using the cd, and
it can't be ejected. Quitting Logic is the only way to eject. iTunes doesn't seem to have a preference anymore NOT to open iTunes
on cd insertion. Tried ejecting via the computer key, within iTunes with the eject icon, both in the playlist and the lower right
hand corner, dragging the disk to the eject icon on the dock, and from within Logic as well. Seems iTunes and Logic is fighting for control of the cd, even
though the cd is not playing thru either app at the time, and there are no logic tracks that are looking to the cd to play them.
This is Logic Express 7.1.0, tiger 10.4.2
running on mostly Mac Mini's, with a few Dual 2 gigs.
MP3 problem is also present in Logic Pro 7.1 for me.

iTunes doesn't seem to have a preference anymore NOT to open iTunes
System Preferences -> Hardware -> CDs/DVD -> "When you insert a music CD" popup" -Ignore or Logic
Hopefully that'll help with the iTunes/Logic squabble.

Mp3 and url problem

Hi everyone!
I have searched here on this forum, but I haven´t found
a solutions for my two problems or
I haven˝t searched properly.
My first problem is with mp3 files. I have created a mysql
database for my mp3 files
like this: id (int), date (date), content (varchar), file
(varchar) and now my problem is
how to set up the page so the file loads on the page and the
user
can be listend to it.
My second problem is with url. I have created a image gallery
for my banners on the site.
My SQL table is setup like this: id (int), client (varchar),
banner (varchar), link (varchar), startingdate (date) and
endingdate (date). I would like to setup is like this: if an
user clicks on the banner it will take him to the
clients site.
I thank everyone in advance for any tips I can get to solve
my two problems.

It should look like this:
Filter:__________ id
(id lowercase is the primary key auto increment integer for
your item you create a DB table field for as described in your
original post.)
=
URL Parameter:_________ id (or whatever name you want)
Then place dynamic info into page by dragging table field
from Binding Window onto page as described in earlier post. Then
when you visit your_page.php?id=3 you will see table info placed
from binding tab where id = 3. 4 for 4, 5 for 5, etc. If you put
something else like File in URL parameter filter then visiting
your_page.php?File=3 will show info from table placed in page from
binding tab where primary key id = 3 etc.
That should be more than enough information to get you on
your way!
Thank you DWFAQ.info for the HELP! it´s working
now.

I used Target mode to transfer files to a new iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 from an older Dual core Intel machine (EMC 2105) also on 10.6.8. but originally Tiger 10.4. The operation was successful and I ejected the disk icon from the new machine and po

IS THE SITUATION HOPELESS
I used Target mode to transfer files to a new i7 iMac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 from an older Dual core Intel machine (EMC 2105) also on 10.6.8. but originally Tiger 10.4. The operation was successful and I ejected the disk icon from the new machine and powered down the old machine. When this was restarted the next day there was a grey screen with flashing Mac symbol alternating with a 'no entry' sign and occasionally a question mark.Keyboard and mouse were unusable so k inserted the original instal disc (No.1 for 10.4. with installer 1.0.4) which came with the machine in 2006 in an attempt to boot from this. The ensuing window said this was not possible and now it cannot be ejected.I have tried everything ! It offers Disk Utility and other options like Terminal but that doesn't work either.I 'repaired disk' and that was pronounced o.k. None of the various keystrokes at start up will work, and the computer will only offer the installer disc continually.The only option would seem to be is to erase the hard drive completely from the disc in the machine.I don't want to do this as there is still material which I need to recover. I think the drive has in some way been corrupted by using it in target mode, and I don't know if there are any other options to try.
Please tell me how to get this disc to eject !

Have you seen this type of problem before? I think it could be a serious issue for anyone in a similar position.
No; but then, I've not had occasion to use TDM. I've been using firerwire drives for over 10 years, both FW400 and FW800, with no issues except a bit of instability using a B&W G3 machine.
TDM should be safe. Using cautious, manual copying of files from the Target machine to the Host machine should not result in unexpected loss of files or damage to the Target drive's directories. It should behave exactly the same as if it were an external (to the Host) firewire drive.
• I don't suppose there is anything I can do to 'put back' lost items from a separate Time Machine drive which has an up to date backup on it.
There is probably a way to do that - seems to me that's one of the reasons for a Time Machine volume.
On the other hand, if the Time Machine volume is rigidly linked to the now-absent OS on the original drive, there may be no way to effectively access the files in the TM archive.
I know that using a cloned drive would work well in this instance.
I have no experience with Time Machine, so perhaps someone who has will chime in with suggestions.
With the machine in TDM with the other machine, have you tried running Disk Utility to see if you can effect repairs to the drive?

Can't Import mp3s and wmas to itunes

hi,my problem is that there are some mp3 and wma songs i have on my mac but when i try to put them on my library or basically try to listen to them on itunes nothing happens.i drag and drop them into library or manually import them but itunes just doesn't respond i even tried to manually open the directory music>itunes>itunes music>automatically add to itunes and dragged these mp3s into it but it just keeps ignoring them and throws them into a directory called 'not added'.can anyone help me?

iTunes for Mac (unlike iTunes for Windows) cannot convert WMA files. You will need to use another Mac program, such as EasyWMA, to convert them into an iTunes compatible format.

MP3 and restricted codec support

hi,
finally I have my system set and running. I did go for the KDE4 which I like very much and followed all the steps as stated in the Beginner'S Guide.
However, I don't have MP3 neither other multimedia propietary format access like MP4, AAC, MOV, WMA, WMV or RMVB - I carry my multimedia collection of songs, videos and movies from when I was on WinXP (yikes!)- despite I installed Xine and other utilities as desccribed in the Beginner's Guide.
I do can watch some AVI files but can't access sound stream so they're muted. How do I add full multimedia support to my fresh shiny Arch? I did try to search the forums but there's to seem a problem because I keep receiving desconnections errors.

http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=93862
Re: MP3 and restricted codec support
why did you opened a new thread instead of discussion in the previous one?
oops, I did it again, sorry! (yeah, I know you prefer Brtiney saying that )
I just did the same of my very first post: promise to don't screw things again and follow the rules.
@Bralkein: thanks for your tips and useful research, I will stick with xine until I backup my root, then maybe I try gstreamer.
@.:B:.: I have panic of installing things that can break my system, before installing Arch few days ago I came from an entire life in *buntuland, so you'll see : D

MP3 and AAC files mixed in burned Audio CD???

Here is the story. I am new to iTunes and I have a 400Mhz G4 AGP Machine running OS 10.2.8 and have Quicktime 6.5.3 installed. I also have a 93 Gig HD and 512 megs of RAM and a Sony CRX160E iLink CD burner. I was running iTunes 3.0.1 for a little bit and just upgraded to 4.7.1 about a week or 2 ago. Can I mix "MP3" encoded tracks with "AAC" tracks. I think that I read in the help menu that I had to use the "Data CD" option instead of the Music CD option. But, if this is so, can I still play this CD in a regular CD player? since was encoded with MP3 and AAC and it is formated as a Data CD??? The reason I am asking is because I encoded a bunch of songs as MP3s in 3.0.1 as default and I understand that AAC files are of slightly better quality so, I wonder if it would be worth it for me to re-import my songs in "AAC" for consistency. Consistency is my main concern. I want to be able to burn CDs with little problems (although I have some issues but, that is a different story) and mix formats if I can.
Thanks,
Larry

Thanks for your help! I just burnt a CD with mixed formats and it played fine in a "newer" CD player. My home CD player is older (Circa 80s or 90s?) and I have been told that the older CD players either can't or, don't like CDRs. So, it played fine in my son's newer CD player but, not in my "older" player. I am not too sure about the difference in sound quality yet. I'll have to do some more testing. The MP3 files and AAC files both sounded well when played. One annoying thing, though is the volume issue. Most of the songs played at a similar volume but, one played quite softly. An annoying thing but, I understand that even if you use the "Sound check" option, the sound can vary due to the fact that iTunes has a "fast" way of reading the sound levels and could be inefficient. I will try "iVolume" to see if that helps. It is supposed to be pretty good for iTunes except for the version 7 that just came out.
Thanks again,
Larry

How do I convert music when there is a mixture of mp3 and wma and alot of music?

So I recently bought a Mac Book Pro, and had all my music from my old laptop put on a new external hard drive. The problem is some of the music is mp3 and some is wma and I have 9000 songs and don't want to go through each one to covert. What is the simplest was of coveting everything to mp3?

You will have to use a third-party program to convert WMA files, iTunes won't do it.
If you have WMA and MP3 files in the same folder, go into list view in the Finder and click on the top of the 'Kind' column to sort by kind and separate them. (If the 'Kind' column doesn't show, enable it in Finder menu 'View'>'Show View options'.
You can then move all the MP3s into a separate folder. These can be imported directly into iTunes.
This will leave the WMA files; you will need to look for a program which can batch convert them.

My USB CF Card reader is not mounting on my 2.5 GHZ Intel Core i5 iMac anymore. It was last week and worked fine to get pictures from my camera. Now it won't mount. I have tried another card reader and the same problem exists. Also tried different cards..

Hi
My USB CF (Compact Flash) Card reader is not mounting on my 2.5 GHZ Intel Core i5 iMac anymore.
Last week it worked fine to get pictures from my camera but now it won't mount at all.
I ejected it in the correct way rather than just disconnecting it but now i cannot get it to remount!
I cannot even see it in the disk utility or system profiler.
I have tried another card reader (a brand new one bought today) and the same problem exists. I've also tried different cards to see if that made a difference and they still arent being picked up on the Mac.
I have done all the usual things like rebooting, unplugging all other USB devices and then trying but nothing has worked.
I'm a photographer and I'm at my wits end here. I know the cards are fine as i have been using them without issue and they are also new.
Note: If I plug the camera in directly to the Mac, the Mac picks it up just fine as it always has done. Its just the card readers that it wont pick up anymore.
If anyone has any ideas at all other than the following (my so called friends advice) you'd earn my undting love:
Buy a PC
Use the camera (Thats why i bought the reader in the first place - importing RAW files from the camera is SLOW!)
Replace your CF cards (I have three 8GB cards two of which i had never used til today and they dont work either!)
Buy a new card reader (this is the 5th one in two days - none work on the Mac)
Many thanks in advance!

OK, restart in Safe Mode, this will clear some caches. It's possible one or more is corrupt. To restart in Safe Mode when you hear the start up tone hold down the Shift Key until you see a progress bar. Let it fully boot then restart normally and test.
Also I am assuming you have checked Finder - Preferences - General and see what boxes are checked in "Show these items on desktop." You can also mount an item in Disk Utility, simply highlight it and then look in the File menu for Mount.....

File name punctuation WILL cause MP3 and DVD burn errors – workaround?

OK, I’ve seen TONS of questions about problems burning MP3 format CDs and DVD. I’ve been having this problem for quite a while and today I just got ****** off enough to do some deep research. I seek to share my finding and suggestions for work arounds.
THE PROBLEM
iTunes can burn regular CDs since the song file name is not actually put on the CD. The CD or DVD burner work for burning audio discs and with other applications. All the burn preferences are set correctly and have been validated. But when you attempt to burn an MP3 CD or DVD (for backup, transfer or for player that play MP3 discs), iTunes may do the following:
Checking media (iTunes will ask: “You have inserted a DVD. Are you sure you want to create a Data DVD? answer yes, it’s a blank DVD disc in a working DVD burner)
Checking playlist
Burning disc… initializing
"The attempt to burn a disc failed. An unknown error occurred (xxxx).”
THE CAUSE
Many times the error is due to song, album or artist names with unacceptable punctuation in them. iTunes does not tell you why and the error message and Google searches and Apple support/discussion forum details are sketchy… but in most cases its “illegal” punctuation in the song name, artist or album. I isolated at lest the apostrophe ‘ there are probably other illegal name punctuations too.
The cause my be explained by Apple following ISO or Joliet file name specifications or file name length specifications for CD or DVD discs. But since this appears to be undocumented (to the iTunes user) there is a need to understand the restrictions to allow error free disc burning.
THE CHALLENGE
Even if the playlist name does not have punctuation, if ANY playlist song name/artist/album does, the DVD burn will fail. Removing the offending songs from the playlists results in a successful burn but hey, I WANT those other songs too!
POSSIBLE WORK AROUNDS
Changing actual song file name – even if you change the name in iTunes (Get Info, Info, change name, artist, album) the actual song file names are not updated and continue to have the punctuation error resulting in a burn failure.
It appears that the actual file name needs to be changed. This can be a challenge. If you change only the file name you need to add modified file back into iTunes and the old file link is now broken. This is a bigger problem if that song file is in multiple playlists (the old ones are broken and the new one needs to be substituted). This is a REAL problem if you have 2,800 songs with an ‘ in them (like I do).
LETS WORK TOGETHER AND SHARE RESULTS
I’ve seen many, many unanswered questions about iTunes CD and DVD burning problems that will likely be solved if we can collectively develop and document a workaround. So, here is
THE QUESTION
What is the best way to rename (or retag) MP3 song files to eliminate punctuation and update iTunes and playlists so these songs can be burned to CD or DVD without violating the undocumented illegal punctuation restriction? The work around may differ for OS X vs Windows users so help on both would be appreciated.
Thank you all in advance for your help!

been searching myself to create my own cdg for use in universal karaoke players. Kjams appears to offer the most hope for all I want to do. although there's something new now called Aria which promises to do a bunch of stuff for 79 $. Otherwise, all that I want to do as listed by the original poster, would cost me Kjams lite, plus the burn plug in is extra, plus I'd need the kjams producer as I would be building a cdg by adding the synced lyrics to something I've removed the vocal from, on Audacity program. if I go with Kjams, those 3 softwares, it will cost me 150, while I'm so jealous all those PC karaoke singers have free software for karaoke they can download.
I've been buying my cdg discs at 1.99 a pop, but they don't have special songs I want to perform. Aria for Mac might just do it all but I don't need the "scratch" sound they are pushing. that makes me steer away from the software.
experimenting with the Imac 10.6 idvd movie quicktime might work. I made a few cdg but have not tried them in the club karaoke machine yet. I added the lyrics to tuneprompter which is a free software that lets you add and sync the lyrics to the music with the spacebar. thats fun. but it's all in experimental thing so far. I know Kjams does not let you add lyrics and sync them yourself. you are supposed to import cdg to kjams that are already available and pay for them. in this case I want to find my own special tunes. good luck to you. there's one other thing but it's expensive. buying software which turns your mac into a windows platform by partiioning it and you start up in one or the other. that's also about 100-150 software.

HELP! Logic Pro bouncing EMPTY MP3 and AIFF files..

Hi everyone.
I've recently installed Logic Pro 8 onto a new Mac Pro. Entered the code and did a full session recording. But when I go to Bounce the track it goes through the process but then when I look at the Bounced track it is blank :s
I have tried both Mp3 and AIFF bounce and sending them straight to iTunes, but no luck.
Any ideas?
The only other thing is that I have not yet Registered this Logic online as the Mac hasn't got a connection yet. Could this be the problem?
Cheers for any help.
Barka

There is another possibility.
If, like I do, you are using ANY outboard or DSP FX (UAD-1 for example), or are using an interface with a DSP mixer that you are routing through (Metric HALO, for example), then back to your Logic 2-Buss (Out 1-2), you will need to check the real time check-box on bouncing dialog, and let the project sum in real-time.
Does this make sense?
Kind Regards,
Mark

56 day Time Machine backups. and 27" iMac problems.

56 day Time Machine backups. and 27” iMac problems.
I have a problem and its driving me to mad. I wish to backup my iMac to a separate hard drive, When I start TimeMachine backup there is a window that appears ,I switch on Time Machine , select my Verbatim separate hard drive which I have partitioned into three section , one called time machine backups, and click ‘backup now’ the process starts by stating ‘436GB of 500GB available’, Preparing Backup’ and this stays there for ages and then when it does start to backup states backing up 234 byts of 28.3 GB . I left my IMac on for fifteen hours and it still read the same , 234 byts of 28.3 GB also at one time showed ‘time remaining’ as 56 Days. It will not allow me to reformat the Verbatim and will not allow me to eject the backup hard drive. On disc repair it says things are OK, disk partitions are OK. Could I have damaged the Verbatim Hard drive when I previously forced a shut down as it was taking so long and would not eject theVerbatim hard drive. Also Just recently it has been impossible to shut down the iMac as ‘Messages’ is working and won't even force quit. I switch of at the mains. Please help.
Equipment.
iMac 27” 3.2 GHz intel core i5 [four months old]
Running OS X Yosemite
Verbatim [SamsungHD] [three years old]
Partitioned in Three , Formatted as Mac OS Extended [Journaled]
connected by USB 2 Cable
Thanks.

First you should NEVER EVER partition a Time Machine or any other backup drive for anythings else but backup. This is likely why you are having issues, buy yourself a high quality EHD such as an OWC (www.macsales.com) Mercury Elite Pro, format it correctly and make that your Time Machine backup HD.

Help!- MP3 and WMA files no longer playing on my Micro Pl

I have a 52mb micro plus that I got in September 2005. All of a sudden, I can longer play my mp3 and wma files... just the radio. I have updated my creative zen file organizer, I have a full powered battery inside, I have done no significant damage to the player (I dropped the player once on the sidewalk but not from a big distance or very hard), and I really can't think of anything else that is causing the problem. Can someone please help me fix my player so I can start playing my music files again? Thank you.Message Edited by jjc92787 on 05--200707:0 AM

No unfortunately not. I don't know how to escalate this to Apple tech but I think that is the next step as I believe it is IOS based problem, not user related.

Media Encoder Now ONLY exporting F4V, FLV, MP3, and H.264

I've been using AME (CS 5.5 DP) for a few weeks to batch encode WMV and AVI files to QuickTime ProRes422(LT). It's been working great.
Starting today, AME no longer exports to QuickTime. The ONLY options I have for export are F4V, FLV, MP3, and H.264. What gives?
Re-installing CS5.5 did not help, nor did trashing the preferences. I did not update QuickTime or make any system changes.
Any advice would be great.
~PH

One of my coworkers just pointed out to me that what may have occurred is a failure of the licensing system. QuickTime export from AME isn't included in the trial version of Design Premium CS5. It may have occurred that the software "lost" its activation and started behaving like the trial version.
If this is the problem, then the most certain way of fixing the issue is to uninstall and then reinstall the CS5 software and reactivate it (re-enter the serial number).
