No Audio, possibly related to iTunes or FCP

Hello,
This is my first post in Apple support discussions and while I did do a search to find a solution to my problem, I was unable to find one, so if this happens to be a repost, my humble apologies.
I'm having an intermittent audio problem where there is no audio and when I attempt to adjust the volume, the volume overlay appears with the meter completely full and a no/forbidden sign beneath, and pushing the volume adjustment buttons or attempting to adjust the volume slider does nothing. This problem has persisted for about a month or so and has happened upon startup, and while using various programs, but most notably when using Final Cut Pro or iTunes. The problem seems to start and go away randomly.
I also did a Google search and some forums suggest it may be a problem with flash player and a possible fix is to open Garage Band or to open Audio Midi Setpup and ensure the Format is 44.1kHz and 16bit. The Garage Band method works sometimes and my Audio Midi Setup is always at 44.1 and 16bit.
FYI: I'm running an iMac 2.8 w/ 4GB RAM and my Audio (Built In) info is:
Device ID: 0x106B00A0
Audio ID: 50
Thanks in advance for your help!

Any takers? I have since tested streaming using airport direct from my powerbook to the AE, and also using ethernet via the netgear switch. It is seems to be working perfectly without dropouts when I use airport and not ethernet to connect to the AE. But if I use ethernet (via the netgear) to the AE i get these dropouts.
I see that this netgear switch apparently has some packet priority feature to allow some level of priority for certain network traffic over others. Does iTunes stream in some way that is considered "low" priority? This is super annoying, and I am thinking I will have to return the switch... what a pain...

I don't own an Apple device, but I have purchased an audio album from the iTunes store. How can I play this on my android phone, as I am unable to burn the album to mp3 format? Can I obtain a refund if this is not possible? Thanks

p.s. I am not knowledgeable of Apple/iTunes etc, I was under the impression that if I purchased an album then I can use my purchase on a non-Apple device

Micky,
The iTunes Store sells songs in AAC format. Most Android phones can play AACs. Just sync them to your phone per the instructions with the phone.
If by any chance your phone does require MP3 format, you can use iTunes to convert the files, per this guide:
iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format - Apple Support
(This conversion does not require burning.)
For future reference, note that the iTunes Store is really optimized for people using Apple devices. You might find it more convenient to buy music in Mp3 format from Amazon Digital Music or Google Play Music.

When you set up the new Mac, you can use Migration Assistant to transfer both from your iMac and your external drives. You can also use Target Disk Mode to drag over the things you want.

HT204291 Is it possibly to have iTunes music play out of both the computer and AppleTV while using Airplay Mirroring for the TV?

Is it possibly to have iTunes music play out of both the computer and Apple TV while simultaneously using Airplay Mirroring to view the computer screen on the TV? Whenever I try, by clicking on 'computer' radial button for volume in iTunes Airplay, the TV automatically reverts to the Apple TV screen. I usually end up using preferences to 'bring back' the audio to the computert while leaving the picture on the tv, but this means i have to suffer from the inferior sound quality of my Macbook internal speakers.

Be careful, FCP is an open system which is great, but it allows you to work with formats that are not completely compatible with fcp and can cause serious problems down the road. You can check the formats of all audio files brought into fcp by selecting them in the browser and hitting command-9, Use compressor to convert all audio files to 48k 16 bit aiffs before importing to fcp. There's a preset for this format in the apple presets. You mention video files. The same thing holds. In particular, avoid bringing in h264 quicktime movies. Convert to an fcp friendly format like prores using compressor.

How to import music file from itunes to fcp?

thanks in advance. I burned from itunes a track on to a cd. then tried to upload from cd to fcp. it plays for about 5 seconds, then stops with error msgs:
"turn off unlim rt"
lower compression rate"
or "lower pref for real time audio track"
I'm new to fcp and am stuck. can't find help in the books either. any way to just lift a music file straight from itunes to fcp.
thanks.

The "media drive" isn't a mac thing...it is a video editing thing. This is a drive that is separate from your main computer's hard drive where you store ALL of your captured footage, audio, video elements, graphics, still photos...everything you use in your video project. You should NOT be using your system drive for this.
This drive, on the low end, can be a firewire drive. 7200RPM at least.
You need to copy the music files OFF of the CD and onto your media drive...and you really should be organized about this. Organization is a HUGE part of video editing.

Is this related to itunes?

I'm getting a weird issue that I had before when I tried to install a program from a cd rom and have found very little info online about this problem. One of the few things that I did find mentioned itunes but I don't think that this is the issue but I really don't know where to post this!
Basically, what is happening just now is that I have inserted a cd rom into my pc laptop (Computer Music Mag Disc) and although files are showing up, I can't open them and I get the following alert:
'Cannot read from the source file or disc'
The strange thing is that when I go to 'Computer' to view the disc there is an image of a red apple logo on the cd rom! Like I said, i've tried numerous searches on this and can't find any answer to solve this!
The only things mentioned were a conflict with itunes (which I don't believe) and a problem with 'User Account Control' being on, although I already have this disabled (I tried to enable and disable again but still the same issue).
Below is a link to the screenshot I took to give a better view:
http://img10.imageshack.us/my.php?image=redapple.jpg
Any info would be great
P.S. How do you actually get the image viewable on a post instead of having to put up a link?
I've tried the usual: [url] [/url]
But this doesn't work! I know it can be done as i've seen it in many posts but I can never manage it!
Thanks
Bryan

Hi Katrina,
The CD ROM that I'm on about is one that I get from "Computer Music" magazine each month, which contains audio samples, applications, video files and pdf documents.
I insert these discs into my laptop pc and I'm able to view the contents but when I try to open a file or copy it to the laptop I get an error stating that the file cannot be opened. If I go to "Computer" and view the disc there is a red apple logo on it. Someone mentioned to me before that this could be related to itunes but I very much doubt that.
This disc is a dual layer disc and it's only on my laptop that it doesn't work. It works on my desktop pc and imac no problem. A workaround just now is copying files from the disc to my desktop pc then putting them on a usb memory stick and transferring them to my laptop but this is time consuming.
I just find it really strange that this is happening and I've found very little info on a solution although there have been a few reports. I've posted on the Vista forum before but got nowhere there...

I have just put an audio book into my iTunes music library. When I tried to transfer it to my iPod shuffle it rearranged the tracks so that they are in the wrong order. How can I put them in the order they appear in the book?

I have just put an audio book into my iTunes music library. When I tried to transfer it to my iPod Shuffle it put the chapters in the wrong order i.e. Chap 1, Chap 10, Chap 11 etc. rather than Chap 1, Chap 2, Chap 3 ... How can I get it to put them in the order they appear in the book?

First, we need to know if the audiobook chapters are being treated by iTunes as music files or as audiobooks. If they are not audiobooks purchased from the iTunes store, they might be getting "shuffled". You will need to look at "File" - "Properties" (I think - I don't use iTunes under Windows - or right-click on the file and choose "properties") and look at the media type. If it is "Music", change it to "Audiobook". If this is not the problem, or does not fix anything, please post back.
Actually, looking at your post again, a second thought occurs to me - assuming there are less than 100 chapters in the book, just renaming them with a leading zero on the first nine chapters might do it. A computer will alphabetically sort filenames in the order you quote (1, 10, 11, 12, 13, ... 2, 21, etc.) but a leading zero will fix that (01, 02, 03 ... 10, 11, 12)

Is it possible to control itunes dj from other computers on the same network?

is it possible to control itunes dj from other computers on the same network? we have a computer running itunes connected to our speakers here at work, and we'd like to be able to control it through the other comptuers on the network. is this possible, or do you have to use iphones/ipads/etc?

AC is corret you can do that. It might work a bit better for you if you use a wired connection vs a wireless one for the ATV's.

Hello Achates:
I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

Is it really possible to operate iTunes from external hard drive?

The internal hard drive on my Mac Book Pro is full and most of it is music for iTunes. I have been told that it is possible to operate iTunes from a library on an external drive but it hasn't worked for me. I have moved the iTunes folder on to my external hard drive. Then I did two things...First, I opened iTunes while pressing the "alt" key. Then I clicked on "choose library" and directed it to the iTunes folder on the external hard drive. Second, I opened Preferences>Advanced>iTunes Media Folder Location and then clicked on "Change" and directed that to the iTunes folder on my external hard drive. It should work right? Well, it worked the day that I did it but the next day I had "!" beside every song in my library of nearly 10,000 songs. It says that it can't find the location of the song file and asks if I would like to find it. When I show it where the file is it works but it will take me forever to do that with each individual song. Can this really be done successfully?

One question. What is NAS?
Here is a link http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751 . I did it exactly this way the first time I tried, including consolidating and the organize library part but it made a mess of my iTunes folder. Luckily I had it backed up on another partition of my hard drive using Time Machine. So, I deleted the iTunes folder and started over.
I dragged the iTunes folder over last night to the partition on my hard drive that I want to operate iTunes from. It took about an hour or so to copy the files over but the iTunes folder looks organized the way it should be again. Then I Alt>Clicked on iTunes in the dock and picked create library. Then I directed it to the new iTunes folder. Next I chose preferences>Advanced>Change media folder location and directed that to the new Itunes folder. Then it asked me if I would like iTunes to organize the folder(or something to that effect). I can't remember exactly but I chose "No" or "Cancel" this time, I didn't the first time. It has been working ever since but I am waiting for something to go wrong. Because, it worked last time for a day and then stopped.

Is it possible to input itunes into DVI/HDCP input from imac with Apple mini display portS?

Is it possible to input itunes into DVI/HDCP input from imac with Apple mini display port? Or is there another way?

The problem with itunes is needing a computer running it. or continuous internet connection.
A Time Capsule is AC mains powered.. no battery. Although you can certainly buy an older Gen4 TC and modify it ...
https://sites.google.com/site/lapastenague/time-capsule-power-supply-repair-kits
I have run my TC on a 12V SLA battery.. which would neatly meet that part of the functionality you want. But it is heavy and not really the rugged sort of device I think you want.
But I would look at other media players and other ways of storing movies than iTunes.. if you want to carry the whole lot around with you .. A bunch of SD cards even you could plug into the ipad??
External storage for iPad?
A small cheap PC/Mac laptop with a 1TB hard disk in it.. and 11" or 13" screen.. can often be a much better solution than lugging around multiple items so you can fit Apple devices into your life.

My problem is on my Windows PC. I am getting the error message, "The procedure entry point sqlite_3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll. I am told this is related to iTunes. Any help?

I use both a Mac and a PC. My problem is on my Windows 7 PC. I am getting the error message, "The procedure entry point sqlite_3_wal_checkpoint could not be located in the dynamic link library SQLite3.dll. I am told this is related to iTunes. Any help out there? Thanks

With Windows Explorer, navigate to your C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support folder.
Copy the SQLite3.dll that you should find there, navigate to the nearby Mobile Device Support folder, and Paste it in there also.
Restart the programme all should be well
In case that your OS is (64 bit)
1. Open windows explorer, go to location C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
2. Copy file "SQLite3.dll"
3. Now paste it in the folder C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support
4. Restart the programme, it should not display that message, it should be clear.
Good Luck
