Need help importing iTunes songs!

When I try to import from iTunes, Garage band says: 'Open iTunes to populate this list', or 'Loading iTunes music' but it never loads tracks. Ive uninstalled GarageBand already, didnt fix the problem (I also have the updated version of both apps). This feature used to work but it doesn't any more. Any help on how to solve this issue would be greatly appreciated!

It looks like the Media Browser can't find the iTunes Library, and that it is probably a problem with iTunes and not with Garageband.
Do you have the latest Version 10.4.1 of iTunes installed? If not, I would recommend to update to the newest iTunes Version.
And check, if other Applications (like iMovie, iDVD, iPhoto, iWorks) can see iTunes in the Media Browser.
If not, then make sure that the settings in the iTunes Preferences -> Advanced are pointing to the correct location of your Library.
By default the Library should be located in your Music Folder
/Users/your user name/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music
If the Library location settings should be wrong, then correct the settings, and restart both iTunes and Garageband.
If your iTunes Library is on an external disk, the media Browser mignt not find it.Then just - in iTunes - reveal the song in the Finder, by ctrl-clicking it, and drag it from the Finder into your Garageband window.
If your iTunes Library is on an internal disk and still the Media Browser can't see it, then check the permissions of the Library and run a disk check with disk utility and repair the disk, if need be.

I need help fixing itunes crashes on my old mac

i need help fixing itunes crashes on my old mac

Thanks for your reply,
I have both the silver discs specific to my iMac and Mac Pro models that you receive with your Mac, and a general copy of Snow Leopard that you buy from the store.
I used the silver disc that is specific for my iMac to install the drivers, and Boot Camp 3.0 on my iMac. But with the Mac Pro, the software is older and only has Boot Camp 2.0, thus I'm wondering if I can simply use the software on the general copy of Snow Leopard I own, or does the silver disc contain specific drivers for my Mac Pro that I need?
I'm under perhaps the wrong impression that the silver discs that you get with your Mac purchase contain drivers for your specific Mac model which you can't get from the general Snow Leopard disc.
Thanks.

I need help importing navigation bars and rollover buttons from fireworks?

I need help importing navigation bars and rollover buttons from fireworks, drop down menus and rollover states won't work!
Thanks

In my experience, the code created by graphics apps is less than satisfactory. And image based menus are very awkward for several reasons.
#1 If you decide to change your menu later, you must go back to your graphics app and re-craft the whole thing. After 2-3 times of this, it gets old in a hurry.
#2 Image based menus cannot be "seen" by search engines, screen readers and language translators.
#3 CSS styled text menus are better for your site's visibility, accessibility and they are a snap to edit in Dreamweaver.
That said, if you're still married to image based menus, use Fireworks to create images only. Use Dreamweaver's Image Rollover Behaviors to create your rollover scripts.

Importing itune song from iphone3 to 4s?

to import itune songs from iphone3 to my new iphone4s, will i be charged twice for same songs? in itunes on my 4s, my song purchases appear with download next to them, if i press download will i get charged?

You should be syncing both devices to iTunes, that will transfer your on-device purchases to your compter. Once there, you can sync the purchase to the other device, i.e., no re-downloading necessary.
Just so you know, though, you do not get charged again for re-downloading a purchased item.

Please help - need to import/create song snippets in iMovie

Hi - I'm making a movie in '06 HD which requires a series of short (apx. 1 minute each) song segments taken from longer songs (apx 4 minutes each). After learning how to first crop the song in iTunes, I could not figure out how to import just the cropped part (the imported song played in its entirety in iMovie, despite being cropped in iTunes). Nor does it seem I can crop the music in iMovie itself. If iMovie had 5-6 different audio tracks I could just lay them down overlapping and only "play" the parts I need. Is there some workaround that I've missed here? Is it possible to make a single "song" in iTunes that is in fact made up of segments of different songs. HELP! I'm on a tight deadline.

I wasn't aware that iTunes lets you crop songs... Here is how you can crop it in iMovie:
After you import a song into iMovie, you drag it onto one of the audio tracks, right? Don't worry about the exact location for now. Now you can select it in the timeline (be careful not to change the volume by accident), then play it. Listen only to your song, don't pay attention to the video. Once you get to the part of your song where you want it to start, hit Apple-T to split it into two pieces at that point. This will only split the song in the selected track, and leave the other tracks alone. Select the part before the cut point, and delete it (Backspace key). Repeat the process at the end point, deleting everything beyond the split point. Now you have just the part you want. Drag it on the timeline until it lines up with your video.

Need Help Fixing iTunes and Getting Songs To Play

I have been having trouble with iTunes ever since transferring to a new computer several months ago. Fist of all, a different iTunes downloaded on the new computer that I don't know how to navigate or find anything on (and I HATE it!). After 2 or 3 months I finally figured out how to transfer my songs from the old computer to the new, but was not able to transfer the playlists. Very unhappy with that, but at least was able to put new songs on my iPod again. Today when I went onto iTunes it asked if I wanted to download the new upgrade, so I clicked yes and restarted computer when prompted. After the computer restarted I went back to iTunes and got an error message that said some things were missing and I needed to reinstall iTunes (I don't remember exactly what it said). I didn't know what to do so I Xed out of iTunes and turned it back on. A box asked if I wanted to reinstall and fix iTunes or untinstall -- I clicked the first one, to reinstall and fix and replace what was missing. After that I went back into my iTunes and discovered that most of my songs won't play. I get an error message saying "could not be used because the original file could not be found." I also found it unusual that I have purchased over a hundred songs over the years but when I click on "Purchased Songs" it only lists 20. I have hated iTunes ever since switching from my crashing XP computer to my new Windows 7 computer. Does anyone know how I can get all of my songs to play? Or how I can get my playlists back? when I plugged my iPod in months ago I thought the playlists might transfer to the computer from the iPod, but they didn't. I want to change some of the songs on my playlists and add more but I can't. Now I can't even play most of my songs. I am very distraught! Thank you for any help!!!

As M has noted, the more info that is presented in the question the quicker you will get a constructive answer. No one can read anothers mind. It is an art to write what ones thought are.
I will assume that you mean "default" as being your internal speakers. To change your sound output - assuming that is your question - go to System prefs and select SOUND. If there are any other sound output options then it would be listed and you can make your selection of speakers.

Can't import itunes songs from imovie

When I try to play a song from my itunes list on imovie it doesn't play. Then if I drag it into the movie I get the following error message:
"The file could not be imported: The file could not be found."
If I open itunes I can drag the same song in and it will work. It's just a hassle to do so. Any help?

Hi, Trevor,
Sorry that didn't work.
Are the songs you cannot import purchased songs from iTunes Music Store? If so, you will need to burn them to a CD and reimport them into iTunes and then they will work.
Or, if you are having problems with only one or two songs, you can use WireTap to record these and then import the resultant AIFC file into iMovie. You can find WireTap here
If you are having problems with all songs regardless of whether they were purchased or imported from your own cds, then the problem is with your iTunes. Try deleting the iTunes plist (Same pathway, just a different com.apple.iTunesplist).
Post back if neither of these helps.

IMovie HD can't import iTunes songs

I recently updated my iTunes to 7.5 and everything seemed to work fine, I've purchased new songs and they all work plus the old ones also work. Now in the middle of making a movie with iMovie HD (5.0.2) I discovered that when I click on audio and try to preview a song from iTunes, iMovie says "This computer is not authorized to play (whatever song)" etc. This Mac is the only computer I've ever had iTunes on, and some of the music that I have I imported from cd's that I bought but it doesn't make a difference to iMovie. I never had a problem with iMovie and iTunes getting along before I updated.
Also I discovered that a "song" I made (a QuickTime sound recording of crickets and frogs) that used to play on the old version of iTunes now isn't recognized on the new iTunes, when I click on it, it does nothing, but when I try it with iMovie it plays. I can't figure that out.
Any advise would be helpful.

I need help with iTunes. I just bought a new laptop and I have a few questions

So I just bought a new laptop and few days ago. It's an HP. I have the iPhone 4 (8GB). So all my songs from iCloud are on my phone. I want to manually put them on my phone. All of my songs, videos, pictures etc. are on my new laptop. I went to apply the changes on iTunes when I selected "Manually manage music and videos". And a message came up saying "This iPhone is synced with another iTunes library on another PC. Do you want to choose to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?" Under that it says "Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library."
So what do I do? I don't want to click sync and loose everything on my phone. I will no longer use the other comuter. I really need help.
Thank you!

There are some instructions on this page for syncing to a new computer : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
You should be able to copy iTunes purchased music from the phone via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases
If you still have your old computer and you haven't copied your library over form it, then there are also some methods listed on this page about how you could copy it over : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - the page refers to music, but I've used the home sharing method to copy apps, films etc between computers.

Old computer died - need to get itunes songs/apps on new computer

Our old computer has died. Repair guy is able to retrieve files from hard drive. My kids have an ipod nano and ipod touch. How do we get the new computer set up and get all of the songs/apps/movies onto the new computer? Should I ask repair guy to look for specific file on hard drive or will itunes get info from their ipods when they plug in?

You should contact Adobe Support thru chat and ask them to reset your activations (Do not ask for more than that or they might not help).

Windows Media Player is ******* me off...Need help for iTunes

Ok, so recently my computer went haywire on me, and I had to start from scratch by basically wiping the HD and now installing Windows Vista (I used to have XP). I did back up all my songs on my external before hand.
So now that everything SHOULD be up and running, I transferred all my songs back to my C:\.
Yet...now when I go to "play all" (in order for iTunes to reference them), it says "Play All with Windows Media Player" and WMP thinks it has the rights to all the song files. I use iTunes for everything and I can't find the option part on either software to make iTunes the primary again.
I used to be an IT major...
Now I think that's in the past...lol.
I need help. Who knows how to fix it?
(Oh, and if you know a way to get them all to register instead of me going by artist by cd to play, that'd be appreciated too! :D)

This article tells you how to set itunes as the default media player in Vista.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA27514
To get them all in your itunes library, drag the top-level music folder over from Win Explorer to the itunes window. You don't need to add things one-by-one!
Alterantivly, you can use itunes menu > File > Add folder to library and do the same thing.

IMovie Shuts Down trying to import iTunes song

I select this one particular song, purchased on iTunes, and click on "insert at playhead". It begins the import, and at the end of the import, iMovie shuts down. When I open it back up, the song is not in my movie. I can play the song from iTunes or from iMovie's preview pane. I can import any other song to the same place in my movie. Does anyone know what's going on?
I even rebooted - old habit from my Windows days - that didn't work either.

Welcome to discussions!
This may or may not help, but did you just update to QuickTime 7.1.3? Did you run a permissions repair after the update?
If not, try burning the iTunes song to a CD and then drag the song from there to iMovie.
