No playback sound!?!?! Help please. We want to hear our song.

I am new with GB. My boyfriend and I recently recorded several tracks of his new song. When the song was up - we didn't have ANY problems. When I saved it, closed GB, and came back to it the next day to work on more mixing, it would not play back.
I -
checked my system preferences to make sure set at system output
checked GB preferences to make sure set at system output (want playback on computer)
tried with monitor on or off
see levels playing but no sound
checked to make sure tracks were not muted
checked to make sure tracks sound were slid up not down
tried with soloed and no-soloed tracks
notice that the tracks are gray in color unless i solo the track
tried recording new track - through external board we used to do the song or through computer and I hear the metronome count me in but there is no recorded sound.
tried sending my track to itunes (that worked once when I didn't get the sound playback quite figured out yet) and sent our 5:12 track, but no sound.
other small projects with one track playback.
Why isn't there sound? HELP! This is my first "big" project so did I do something when I saved it that I should have (so I don't do it again!). Is there a way to fix it???? We'd like to get our ideas out to band members!

Also...you should ALWAYS save multiple 'takes' as you go along just in case something like this happens. I also save multiple copies in multiple locations... again.... should a disaster occur. Example: I generally save to GB/User/Mac HD AND my external hard drive (4 different locations, I'm paranoid!!). And not just the final product. I will save versions of it as I go along so that if a failure does happen I can at least go back to a working EARLIER version and not have to record the whole darn thing over. I know this doesn't help you now but I also know it will save you future misery. ~KIng

My wife and I share a computer for our itunes accounts. How can we copy our music libraries to each others accounts without erasing the original library? We want to merge our songs.

If the music is on the same computer, import the songs to your iTunes library by dragging them into iTunes or choosing File > Add to Library (Mac) or File > Add File to Library or Add Folder to Library (Windows). If the music is on different computers you can set up Home Sharing to copy the music from one library to the other (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4620).

Help please: I edited an 8 min song in Garage Band to 2 min but iMovie sees it still as 8 min????

I have a new MacBook Pro with Garage Band '11 and iMovie '11 that came with it.
I edited an 8 minute song into 2 minutes to use in iMovie BUT iMovie isn't reading the newer version of the song; it reads the original. I tried renaming the file, remixing the song, and still iMovie plays it as the original 8 minute song. In fact, four renamed versions of the song show up in iMovie under Garage Band and yet they are all the same.
Oh, I also made sure the little purple line was right at the end of my 2 minute sound track and not left where the original song was before I started cutting it. Still, the same problem.
What am I doing wrong? Any insights would be most helpful! It's been about two years since I've used Garage Band - and even then I only used it about ten times - so treat me like the rookie that I am, ok?
Thanking the Apple Support world-at-large in advance,
GG

Anyway, Leonie, you did give me one little jeweled piece of information that confirmed what I vaguely remembered from the last time I was putting together videos - once the file is in iMovie, any changes I make outside of iMovie need to be imported back in once again. That's why I instinctively kept renaming the files. Thank you for that.... each little piece of info helps, no?
That is on of the irritating aspects of iLife application integration - one would expect, that changes do sync, but they don't.
I'm using version 10.01 andyou two are using the previous generation.
Actually, I am using both versions. I assumed from your first post, that you would be using iMovie '11, version 9.0.9 and not the current version 10.0 - you wrote:
Garage Band '11 and iMovie '11
The version numbering is not the best effort on Apple's part.
But you are right - version 10.0 is not yet as robust as iMovie '11 has been. For serious work I am still mainly using iMovie '11; I am more or less only paying around with the new version 10.0 to explore it. Final Cut has not yet given me any trouble, but I only use it for effects that are not available in iMovie '11.

Macbook to 42" Olevia Sound Help Please..

I just bought my olevia and hooked it up with my macbook
by mini dvi to dvi to hdmi and it looks amazing!
But how do I get sound to come from the tv? Like the clicking
and music from itunes to come out of the tv speakers so i can watch movies?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks.

You'll have to run a separate audio cable from the Mac to the TV. DVI doesn't carry audio. Or you can connect a set of powered speakers to your Mac.

Connecting IPOD video to surround sound HELP PLEASE!

Hi!
I have been trying to connect my ipod to my surrond sound system at home, but everytime I plug it in all it says is "Do not disconnect" and won't let me go to my menu to play songs. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I tried that but it didn't work... I need to get my ipod to not say "do not disconnect" in order to play from the menu.... does that make sense? It's plugged in correctly and is a brand new ipod so I'm not sure why it isn't working. I called apple, but since my surround sound is an RCA and not an apple device they can't help me....

¡URGENT! Creative i-trigue 2.1 3300 NO SOUND ¡HELP PLEASE!

Hello! First, sorry for my english. It's not my language.I buyed i-trigue 3300 2 years and 3 months ago. This week, i have not sound: i check my computer and all connectors, i connect them to an mp3 player and i continuous without sound. The blue light it'ss on, 220v are ok, i connect headphones to my computer and i can listen music. Can i check something more?

jmg,
Since you have already tested the sound card with the headphone and it's fine then most likely the speaker is the issues. Just another small test, have you try testing the speaker on another audio sources such as MP3 player or computer. If it does exhibit the same then your best option is to contact support to arrange for a repair for the speaker.

Help please! I can't get songs from icloud onto my laptop.

Hi, I have had a terrible time with my music and iTunes of late. All of which I am sure is because I have installed and unistalled so many times in the last 3 weeks that
I have created a huge mess. I can see the songs in itunes - (most have been purchased) but when I try to listen to them, put them in a playlist and try to burn a cd- I get a message stating that they are not on my computer. I have been trying to download songs from the icloud to my laptop and I get a message that states:
The file name was invalid or too long. Please check that connection to the network is active and try again.
or
There were problems downloading some purchase items.
Before this whole nightmare began I had added "google drive" to my computer and I think that alot of the files are stored there. When I open the music folder the thread goes on and on.and on.. So frustrated. Can anyone help?
Thanks

I fixed my problem - yours might be different, but it might be the same too . . . My problem was similar to what you described. The hardware connected sound was there but the device seemed to not be recognized. Turned out that it was just running very very very very very slowly (thinking that it was an old as hell Iomega Zip dri've)
The Creative device was using a driver written by Iomega (that was the tip off)
Once I got rid of the Iomega stuff, it works fine.
If you have any slower (older?) mass storage dri'ves - you might try uninstalling them to see if that fixes the problem . . .
good luck

Sound quality: If you want to hear the difference between higher and lower bit rates

Have you ever wondered about the difference in the sound quality of music at different bit-rates? Can you hear the difference?
If you listen to 64kbps and 28kbps (either wma or mp3), you'll hear the great difference. However, if you listen to 28kbps and 92kbps (either wma or mp3), you'll find that there is little or no difference (to me, that is).
collegeboy wrote:
We all know that wma 28kbps sounds just as good as wma 320kb
ps.
the reason i and you go higher than 28 is because where able to. you can deny all you want.
If you want to experience better sound quality at higher bit-rates, the best thing to do is to listen to the music at a quiet place. This may sound like lame advise, but it really works. Try 320kbps for the best results. You'll be able to hear minor details you never had before.

SSR wrote:
Wayyyyyy back when I first started encoding MP3s I was using 28 with an inferior encoder. At the time I couldn't spot the difference, but now the difference is stark. Particular types of music (and more specifically instruments and combinations) do emphasise it though.
Actually, you cannot hear the difference when the background noise is loud, or example, public transport. I suggest that one uses a noise cancellation headset. $$$

I want to hear 2 songs in a row!

Why is the shuffle function not an actual random song generator but a predefined playlist? I finally figured it out when using the "remote" app with itunes. How do we get a REAL shuffle?

Well, shuffle isn't a random song generator, but it isn't a predefined playlist either. Rather, is is a MODE you turn on to play a playlist you choose. That is, you select a playlist (or a group of songs, albums, genres etc), and then you decide to play that group of songs in Shuffle or Regular mode.
If you go to Songs, open it up, and then hit Shuffle at the top, that should play all the songs on the iPhone in shuffle mode. The number will be how many songs you have.
Certainly, there are other complaints about shuffle not being random enough, but you'll have to send feedback to Apple about that:

You do not need to transfer anything. Open the wishlist, and click on the price of any song(s) that you want to buy.
Once you have purchased them and have them in your library, simply put them into an iTunes playlist and burn in the normal way.

No playback sound!?!?! Help please. We want to hear our song.
