Recording won't play

I signed up to the whole package 5 weeks ago in order to be able to watch the football. I was working today so decided to record the programme to watch when I got home. All I get is a blank screen, I contcated the technical department and they tried another recording which worked fine then told me their was nothing they could do as the recorded file must of been corupted.
I am extremely unhappy as I am paying for a service that I have not recieved. I tried to cancel my contract as they have failed to deliver but was informed that I would have to pay myself out.
Typical of BT once they have you signed up then they don't want to deal with the fact that their system is full of bugs and they are unable to deliver instead they just want your money for a broken product.

You need to use a Program Change message for each of the MIDI tracks that are playing your M1. Look at the Inspector at the left hand side of the Logic Arrange window and tick the box where it says 'Program', then choose the number of the program you want your M1 to play, so that this will be kept when you save your arrangement.
You'll need to take an audio output from the M1 back to your interface to record as an audio track (create/select an audio track, select the correct Inputs on your interface and arm it). You can mute MIDI tracks except for the one you want to record and record one track at a time that way.

Midi recording won't play when keyboard is off

Hello all! I thank you for answering my last beginner question. Now I have another for you.
I've gotten my Korg M1 to work by replacing the battery and downloading the factory sounds - not an easy task for a beginner. I've since tried to record from the keyboard onto Logic 8. I have the keyboard hooked up to an M-audio fast track pro and can hear the sounds through my headphones. Everything seems to be working but when I record a track (after choosing external midi device and choosing a channel from the fast track pro option in logic's library), it won't play back unless the keyboard is on. When I turn the keyboard back on, it plays back in the first sound from the sound menu (prob grand piano).
Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

ITalk records, won't play back on 20g color iPod

However, it will transfer to iTunes and be played back there but not in the iPod. it starts to move to the "playback" page but returns to the "play/delete page.

The updater released 2005-09-23 does not include an update for iPod photo.
We're all still stuck with iPod v.1.2.
We shelled out the extra dough for colour screens and photo capabilities, and now are being left out in the cold?
Hey Apple, c'mon already! This is really annoying! We need to hear our memos when we're on the go, not only back in our office. Like directions, phone numbers, etc etc etc. It makes my Voice Recorder only half as useful! Wait, it's actually only a third as useful, according to my spreadsheet-based forward-averaging seasonally-adjusted logarithmic regression analysis.

.aiff files won't play in finder (and some programs)

Mac Pro 4.1
Doing some long-overdue file cleanup, and when I preview some .aiff files in the finder they won't play. The Apple .aiff sound effect files play, but things I've recorded won't play, although they will play if imported into iTunes. Other audio formats are playing fine in Finder.
Also, a recording program I sometimes use called Tracktion will play files in other formats, but my .aiff files are silent or pure harsh static.
Is there a global setting that might be corrupted somewhere? Could this be the fault of my recent Mavericks installation?
Thanks!

I came across the same problem in Mavericks, some wav files played, others didn't. I found that adding '.wav' to the end of files that didn't audition in Finder cured the problem.
As I have many thousands of sound fx files in different formats, changing them individually was not possible.
There are batch conversion apps which will add the .wav (or other format endings) when batch converting - this is what I have been doing. Export them with no change to format but the filename is now correct to audition.
Mavericks broke the two things I liked most - auditioning sounds, movies, pictures etc from Finder, and the file/folder highlight colours. Just a stupid coloured dot now.

Logic Pro 8 mutes newly recorded tracks and won't play back until reload...

Seems like this has happened within the last couple of months. When I record audio in Logic and try to play it back, it won't play the audio. The arrange window shows it is there and the regions do NOT show that they are muted (nor does the channel strip). In essence, it acts as if it is muted, but there are no signs that it is. (I even select the regions and mute then unmute them, and mute and unmute the channel strip, but nothing changes. Still no audio.)
So I have to close the project and reopen it. When I reopen it, every region in the previous recording session (audio) is greyed out (muted) in the arrange window. Once I select them and unmute them, they play back perfectly.
This is a very weird situation. Anybody have any ideas about what the issue is?
Thank you!

A lot of people have reported this, and it happens to me pretty frequently. Gotta be a known bug, but of course since Apple is always mum about this stuff with absolutely no communication to its customers, we won't know until the next version of Logic is released.

Dvd-r recorded from 8mm won't play in macbook pro?

Happy super bowl Sunday! I recently burned some 8mm footage onto a dvd-r using a samsung vhs/dvd converter. The dvd plays perfectly on all dvd players in the house but it won't play on my macbook pro or my imac. I've looked into systems to hook the camera (which by the way is about 15 years old) up to my mac but it's about a 160.00 converter box to go from a/v cables to firewire 400/800.
Anyway, looking at all these forums it seems like I need to find a way to finalize the dvd-r???? Is that all there is to it? I'm not even sure if there is that option on the samsung dvd box? I just spent around $4000.00 on this macbook pro and my home imac. I made the switch for the ease of operation making movies. Unfortunately, so far this is tougher than I thought is would be.
Dave

Thanks for answering. Yes I checked it today and I re-recorded the video again. I chose to finalize it at the end and to my surprise it worked on my computer. However, it will play for a short time and then freeze in different spots. I can't restart it, It won't continue. Dvd player stops it real quick then I try with VLC and it plays even more but still does the same thing.
I'm not sure if it's the speed or something else. There aren't too many options for recording on the Samsung DVD 300 model dvd recorder.
Sure wish this was easier. Should be easier for me. I bought all these apple products for this purpose and it sure is convoluted.

Garageband - "System Overload. The audio engine was not able to process all required data in time. (-10011). Im making a song on Garageband and I have recorded guitar, drums recorded on the musical keyboard, and vocals. It now says this, and won't play.

Im making a song on Garageband and I have recorded guitar, drums recorded on the musical keyboard, and vocals. It now says this, and won't play. Ive worked so hard on this and I don't know how to fix it. I am not very skilled or knowledgable in computers and barely know how to operate Garageband as it is. I have many different tracks in this song for different drums and beats. Please someone tell me how to fix this, I'm not even finished it! And again I am not very informed on how to work computers as well as most of you are, just saying. thanks!!!
P.S.: In my about this mac thing, it says i have version 10.9.1, 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, and Memory is 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

Could you do this?
Go to Finder
Go to Applications
Go to Utilities folder
Launch Activity Monitor app
go to its Memory tab on top
tell us what you see at the very bottom?
Here is a sample of mine.
I bet your page/swap amount will be huge.
If there is not enough RAM, OS X temporarily stores RAM data on the harddrive and tries to retrieve it back into RAM when needed, unfortunately that is so slow that GB throws an error as it cannot play it all in real time.

Why when playing downloaded music on apple tv through my distributed audio, it sometimes skips like a scratched record or just stops (in pause mode and won't play again) and yet i have full bars on the wireless in home service from the mac to the appletv?

Why when playing downloaded music on my mac through my appletv (I have distributed audio so play it through speakers not actually on the television), which is sent wireless from mac to the apple tv, does the music sometimes skip like a scratched record or stop playing (in pause mode) altogether and won't start again when I hit play? I have full bars on the wireless icon. Anyone experience this?

Full bars don't tell the whole story. These issues usually stem from interference, use istumbler to verify

ITunes won't play/QuickTime RunTime error -- Total Recorder related ...

Hello -- I am having some iTunes issues. It will not play any MP3s in my library ... it will play CDs, but I get an error message when I try to rip them. And, very odd, QuickTime gives me this error:
"The application has requested the RunTime to terminiate it in an unusual way. Please contact ehe applications support team for more information."
I know this is likely based on my installing the nefarious "Total Recorder" (boo!) and I'm well-versed in the issues it has with iTunes and have tried the fixed proposed on apple.com. I have removed it and even scanned my registry to make sure there are no references; and re-installed my audio drivers.
Any ideas?

... it's hard in the poor places tonight ...
When I try to rip I get the cryptic "An unknown error occured (-223)."
okay. what antivirus and antispyware applications are you running at the moment?
i've seen one case of that one being caused by interference by an antispyware package:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=825155&#825155
(good lord ... and i now see Justin was getting the same "itunes won't play music" symptom too. i hadn't remembered that.)
perhaps first try switching your antispyware off (experimentally) prior to playing or ripping, to see if that helps. otherwise, let's try a reinstall with antispyware disabled (like Justin) to see if that helps matters.

Audio won't play back after recording.

After recording with my BEHRINGER 1204FX though USB, I can see the audio in its track but it won't play the audio until I unplug my 1204 FX and set my input as built in or something else.
Why can't I listen to my recordings whithout doing this?

IPhone 5s Voice memo to mp3. Now music on iPhone. Won't play from search function.

I record my band rehearsals using the voice memo on my iPhone 5s. Then I sync to iTunes and convert file to mp3. When i sync back to my iPhone it appears in my music. So far, so good. When I use the search function in music it finds the file but won't play from tapping. I must troll through all my music songs (currently 2227 of them) to find it and then play it. Is it something to do with it still being under the genre "voice memos" or what ? Anybody help please. Thanks

Michael,
Thanks. I haven't mixed down the audio or checked the number of tracks in Prefs. Good points.
As far as a mixdown goes, I'll definitely give it a try, though I wonder whether or not the tracks will be recognized during mix down recording - given that you can't hear either of those segments in playback. Just have to try.
Re the preferred number of allowed tracks - I'll go check as soon as I send this off, but I'm not sure that applies in this case, since the two Channels containing the segments that are pinked out are not in additional tracks. I should have mentioned that other audio clips and segments on the same Channels in the SAME tracks ARE heard in playback. As are two additional track in the 2nd Sequence. It's only when the two sequences are joined that the pink tinted segments can't be heard. Within the sequence the same audio cuts playback as they should. Thanks again &
Best regards,
David

I paid for and downloaded a song, but it won't play saying the file could not be found. It says this even when I click on the song IN the itunes store, so I can't even listen to the sample now??

I haven't kept records of the songs I have paid for, and a number of songs have recently been displaying this message, making me search my computer for them. Most I have been able to find, but this one immediately "disappeared" the moment I attempted to play it after downloading...... how do I either get it back or get my money back???

How did you do this move? Unless you know what you are doing you have to move the whole, complete iTunes folder.
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option (alt) key (shift on Windows), then guide it to the new location of the library.

Here's a fix for uploaded files that won't play.

Is this you? You've found a lot of files were uploaded, instead of matched. Some of those files might even be on albums where other tracks matched. Sure you want them ALL to match, but meantime, it would be nice if uploaded files would actually play! Sure, you can see their names, track durations, etc. but if you try to play them directly, nothing happens and if you try to play an album through, when it gets to an uploaded track, it stalls or skips past it. You've checked the file type and it's an AAC so you figure it can't be a file encoding incompatibility problem and besides, whatever the file type, Apple is red-flagging anything incompatible, tells you it's ineligible, right?
Guess Again - not all AAC files are produced with the same encoder and some of them, while they'll get past Apple's eligibile/ineligible screening process, probably shouldn't.
I routinely record vinyl using Audacity and at various times I've used different encoders (not that I knew it until now). As a result of checking which uploaded files play and which do not, I'm pretty confident of the following. While some AAC files created outside of iTunes might work, those encoded using Lavf52.36.0 will not. Neither will files encoded using Lavf52.64.2. There may be others.
So what's the fix? The same one recommended for getting files flagged by Apple as ineligible to pass muster. You need to make an AAC copy in iTunes and swap that for the uploaded files that won't play.
Here are the steps I use to get it done. You may be able to streamline the process though.
(1) Turn off wi-fi to prevent iTunes Match from attempting to match any new files until you're good and ready. If you don't to this, you may end up with files you've just created being flagged as duplicates.
(2) Select all files in an album that has some bad uploaded files. Select Advanced > Create AAC Version. (NOTE: I don't bother trying to separate uploaded from matched, just too much hassle.)
(3) Select one of the files, so you can File > Reveal In Finder. Generally this will get you to the album folder that includes both sets of tracks. The ones you just created will have a "1" in the file name.
(4) Create a folder on the desktop and move all the newly created files to it. Delete the "1" from the file names. Name the folder based on album title.
(5) In iTunes, delete the listings for the newly created files.
(6) Turn on wi-fi and wait for iCloud to reconnect. Watch the cloud icon - it'll tell you.
(7) Delete the album from iTunes (You're now getting rid of the copy that was originally uploaded, so be sure you've really got the new AAC files handy to replace them with). Note you will see an option to delete from iCloud too. Check it. You want these files GONE!
(8) Select Store > Update iTunes Match. If you do a search for the album from an iCloud enabled iOS device (I use Apple TV) after the update is completed, you shouldn't be able to find the album.
(9) Select File > Add To Library and go get the folder of tunes you created.
(10) Run Update iTunes Match again.
(11) Watch the iTunes progress bar. Once the matching process has checked to see if you've added anything to your library, you'll see fresh copies of your songs uploading.
(12) As another means of confirmation, once several of the songs have uploaded, do an iOS device search for the album. You should be able to get the album to appear before the upload is complete. You may have to back out of the search and back in to get it to work, but chances are when you first see the album, the song titles will all be grayed out. Once the update is complete, give it a minute and everything should become available to you.
(13) Pick a track that wouldn't play before and watch to see if the timer starts to move, followed by music! It is now time to do a little happy dance.
I know this is a far cry from figuring out what it takes to get songs that should match to actually do so, but that's a whole different ball of wax.

Thanks this was useful. I have been ripping my audiobooks and I was finding that they would get uploaded to iCloud in the process, which in itself was fine, but then iTunes would not let me change the media type to Audiobook, which is annoying as it effects how iTunes treats the media. Like showing you the skip back 10 seconds button.
The general outline here helped me work around the issue and change the media type before the media was re-uploaded to iCloud.
