Remove audio files

even after i delete my iTunes folder i still have 13GB of audio files on my macbook air - why, and how can i get rid of the files?

If you sync by playlists, then remove the song from the playlist in itunes, then sync. The song will be removed from the ipod.
However, if you have genres, artists, etc checked, then you would have to remove that genre, artist,etc from the song info.
If you sync by checked song, then uncheck the song and sync.

How can I remove audio files from ipod totally not just playlist

I understand how to remove from playlists, how can a file be totally and permanently removed to free up memory?

If you sync by playlists, then remove the song from the playlist in itunes, then sync. The song will be removed from the ipod.
However, if you have genres, artists, etc checked, then you would have to remove that genre, artist,etc from the song info.

How can I identify and remove duplicate file (audio & photo)

How can I identify and remove duplicate file (audio & photo)? I have quite a few libraries created as backup files.

Terence,
Yes, the duplicates appear in the iPhoto window. I have folders with same name occuring two or even three times sometimes with exactly the same set of photos (ie photos with the same ID) and sometimes with a limited set of photos. Other folders appear only once.
I normally take my MacBook with me if I'm shooting a lot of photos, such as on holiday, and then want to transfer them to my iMac when i get home. Other times I transfer the camera's memory stick directly to my iMac.
I have great difficulty transferring the photos from my MacBook to my iMac. I don't want to store my photos on my iDisk due to the length of time it takes to upload them.
Thanks again.

Program to remove sound from video and join video with audio file?

With which program can I remove the sound of a video and join/sync the video file with another audio file?
Thank you

Can I suggest using something that will allow audio capture from the external mic. to start with. Then you will have a video with audio in sync, in a format that you can re encode into whatever format you wish.
But, if you must do that. Dump the video from the handycam file, then put the mics audio file with it. ffmpeg -i video ffmpeg -i audio into whatever container and codecs that you want. You may have to adjust audio-video sync
ffmpeg -i audio -itsoffset 0.1 -i video
Search this forum and the web. There are hundreds of ffmpeg examples. And the ffmpeg man
https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html
ffmpeg will do just about anything, but is a little daunting. Ask specific questions and you'll get specific answers. Or find a front end for it. I never use them.

How to remove image files from audio files

i dont understand enough about how itunes worked...So my problem is, when i would add album art to a song, i would copy and past to the artwork box on the song. When i would find a better image, i would just past over the last one, not realizing that it was actually adding another image. This form of Copy/past(as i understand) saves the image to the audio file. *My question:* how do i remove the image files from the audio files...?

Right click on the file you want to remove the artwork from, choose Get Info then the Artwork tab, click on the image and press the delete button then OK. To remove from multiple items, highlight the adjacent tracks in your selection (click on the first in the list, hold down the shift key and click on the last), right click and choose Get Info, choose yes when you are asked if you want to edit multiple items, tick the box beside the small empty artwork window about halfway down on the right. (if the songs aren't adjacent to each other but spread through out the playlist or library CTRL & Click on each of the songs you want to highlight)

How to remove noise from a recorded audio file.

I'm a relatively new user. I recorded certain audio files which are noisy(humm or hiss). Can anyone suggest ways to remove noise from that clip? I tried Denoiser but it added further noise artifacts which were unpleasant to hear Need help. And pls dont ask me to rerecord it in a noise free environment!

If you have some cash you go after 'Sonnox Restoreor' or 'iZotope RX'. Otherwise this might be of some help:

Have a nice day!

To save storage space, how do I remove unused audio files from iMovie on my iPhone.

I'm using iMovie on my iPhone 4S and I'm unable to export my movie due to space restrictions. So I went to clear out some memory space but still it wasn't enough. Then I noticed there are about 20 audio files that I don't need in the movie. But there doesn't seem to be a way to delete the files. Am I wrong? Can I get them off the iPhone to free up more space?
Thanks in advance for your help.

My Iphone won't sync my CD audio files, after having them on my Iphone for years I updated the other day and they all dissapeared, all that's left is songs bought from Itunes.

I've had an Iphone 4 and I have been listening to hundreds of songs no problem for the past year and a half I've owned it. The other day I decided to sync my Iphone to my laptop to get two songs from a CD. After doing this process and approaching it like I usually would (without causing any problems) I checked my Iphone to see if the two songs had downloaded after the sync. I discovered that my Iphone had lost every audio file that was not bought from the Itunes store leaving me with a sliver of songs to listen to. I immediatly checked my laptop (a Windows device) to see if my music was still there, thankfully it's all on my laptop and the songs play without a problem. So I attempted to sync the songs to my iphone several times, but the CD songs would simply not sync (When syncing your Iphone it consists of 5 steps, the progress bar skips steps 3-4, those are the steps when your music syncs). I'm not an idiot, I checked the small details (checking all albums and songs I wanted and checking the 'entire music library' option) as well I checked the big details (making sure my phone and Itunes were up to date, changing the USB to Iphone wire with another just like it). After a couple of hours of tinkering with different ways to sync I was stumped so I decided to restore my Iphone to factory settings. After doing that and setting up my Iphone newly I still could not download those CD files from Itunes to my Iphone. I called apple support and they recommended that I uninstall Itunes and re-install it. Again no success, all my music is still on my laptop working fine, but I can't seem to sync my CD songs from itunes to my Iphone. If anybody has any info please help. -A college student who needs something to listen to everyday on the hour long bus

Amazing steps you've done so far! The great news is this is very unlikely an issue with your iPhone.
I've run into a similar issue lately as well. I narrowed it down to one song that was causing 30 songs not to sync. I removed the song from the sync list (unchecked it) and all 29 songs were able to sync.
You may be running into a similar issue. This may be a problem with this version of iTunes, an issue with one song or a group of songs; hard to know for sure. It's important to narrow down and isolate the cause. Most imporantly get that music back on there!
The way to narrow down the casue add just a few songs at a time (even 1, just to get that first sync finished). Manually syncing is what you'll need here.
Plug in your iPhone, on the Summary screen (shows a picture of your iPhone, the iOS version, Restore iPhone....; etc). Under the Options area at the bottom choose to Manually Manage Videos and Music then choose Apply in the lower right. The music that's on your iPhone now should be removed from your iPhone now. You're now able to sync music manually.
The link below explains how to drag the songs from the iTunes library on the computer on to your iPhone which will start the sync. Add just one song just to see if you can get 1 of those hundreds of songs on there. If you can, awesome! Keep adding until you find the song or group of songs that are causing this issue.

Problems with Firefox 13. Can't see online audio file player. Video only works on some sites. All works OK in I.E. Updated Flash. No Change

Problems began when Firefox 13 automatically updated. tried downloading latest version of Flash 11.2.202.235. No change.
Video works sometimes on YouTube, not at all on most other sites.
Audio player not working at all. Either not even visible or downloads to real player versus playing within application such as Amazon.
Tried enabling/disabling Add ons to find culprit. No luck.
Everything as it should be in Internet Explorer.
On my WordPress site has MP3 audio files, and uses a flashplayer to display and play music files. With flash player on, nothing displays at all, (bank space where audio player would normally be displayed)
If I disable shock wave flash, a text link is displayed that downloads the MP3 in a new window (quick player), Also video doesn't work on any website. If I disable Flash and quicktime, text link to audio file downloads to realplayer.

hello msandman, there have been quite a few issues with adobe's latest flash update - can you try if flash content is showing up correctly again, when you disable the real-player components like mentioned in the following article: [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]?
otherwise you could also try to remove flash 11.3 from the windows control panel/programs section & [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/889580 downgrade to the 10.3 branch of the plugin], which is still receiving security updates.

TS4498 Can i move my installation of Logic 10 to another hard drive, as its nearly full and i want to free up space so i can install the additional audio files too.

Hi All,
       ....i've recently bought and downloaded Logic Pro X.........the software is great.......i love it. But when i bought it from apple, it gave me no choice where to install it. It just went ahead and installed it in the drive which has my operating system in it. Which, in itself is not a problem........but, in my case, the hard drive in question is almost full...........so when i decided to add the additional audio files which come with Logic...........a message was displayed that not enough free space is available for additional audio files.......please remove files to free up space!
        I would love to free up space, but i only have a small 64gb SSD (which is where my operating system is installed). Normally, by moving files around (to another hard drive for example) would be the answer to this problem, but.........and here's the problem..........Logic, and my operating system cannot be moved to another hard drive, once installed it seems logic is there for good.
        Come on Apple!!!!!!!!!!.................i have a terrabyte of space on my other hard drive!! ready and waiting for some music files and or Logic!!!! .........why on earth could you not of given me the option of an installation disk choice!!!!!
      .......well, it seems i'm stuffed now, and £130 lighter in the pocket. I could be the next Mody or Fat Boy Slim............but alas............it's not even looking like i'm gonna even be a one hit wonder.
     ........if anyone knows how to move logic to another destination drive, please help and when i'm famous, i'll sing at your wedding :-)

The vast majority of applications must be install on the system drive in order to run correctly.
Generally the applications take up very little disk space. It is usually the files they produce that need the space. Seeing as how I don't use Logic I can't do this but you might want to check how to move the files generated by Logic to another drive.

No longer able to export .snd or System 7 .sfil audio files

I don't know what version of Quicktime or OS X removed the export option, but I can no longer create .snd or System 7 .sfil audio files using the Quicktime export feature.
Any suggestions as to how I can convert any newer sound file format to this older NeXT/Sun sound file format?
My current OS is 10.4.3 with Quicktime 7.0.3 Pro.
I'm ultimately trying to change my new mail notification in Entourage using Expression (http://soundsetcentral.com) to modify the Microsoft Sound Set.
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.3)

I have found the solution to this issue...
1) You need to install OS 9 on your OS X "Tiger" using the OS 9 installation disc that shipped with your Mac.
2) Go to System Preferences and select Sytem/Classic.
3) Select the "Start/Stop" tab and highlight the System Folder on your boot HDD. Click the Start Button.
4) Download SoundApp 2.7.3 from http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macos/4124&vid=4134
5) Extract the SoundApp directory to "/Applications (Mac OS 9)"
6) Open SoundApp
7) Select File/Convert...
8) Find the sound file you wish to convert.
9) Set your settings for export:
Format: System Sound
Encoding: u-Law
Rate: No Change
Channels: No Change
Bits: 16-Bit
10) Click the Convert Button.
11) Save the file.
This file will now be recognized by "Expression X" (http://soundsetcentral.com/)
You can now create your own notifications for Entourage in Apple OS X "Tiger".
I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.
Regards.

Unexpected problem: uncaught exception when working with audio files in Soundtrack Pro

Hey,
Whenever I double click an audio file in the timeline to work on it, I end up getting the Error message: "Unexpected problem: uncaught exception" and Soundtrack Pro eventually crashes. Also, this happens when I try to work with audio files in the file editor. I have Leopard and am using Logic Studio 8. Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks
Matt

Didnt know how to remove the original clip from the STP arrange window - or whatever it's called in STPro. So I could go no further in my perverse science experiment.
It also appeared that I could only import an aif but not a wav?
I gave up on STPro and did what I needed to do in Logic, which I use regularly.
Thank you for folowing up on this.
PS. I used to use an old PowerPC version (1.0.3) of STPro and loved the way it visually showed the change in the waveform when you added each efffect. It appears that the new version (3.0.1) does not allow you to do this anymore? You can render or flatten the effects to see the final waveform, but then you are dead in the water and cant make changes?
Im such a newbie at STPro that I am probably not using it right?

How do I fuse audio files together?

Hey, I'm finishing up the editing for my full-length horror feature, and currently I'm putting in the sound effects and I was trying to figure out how can I fuse audio files together?
Here's the thing, my video files are files I converted into AVIs from VOBs, only problem is that the audio disappeared from them, but my friend tried to load all my VOBs into AVIs for me since I did something wrong but when he converted them the video was gone but the audio was there...so I figured I'd just take the audio and put it in place.
Right now I have to put in a sound effect of the guy screaming while gory sounds are playing in the background, then after that I have a chainsaw scene where a woman screams, a chainsaw blases, a mechanical laughter is heard, and gory sounds are playing all together.
If you could help me figure out how to get the files to fuse together to play the sounds all together, knowing I have to change the volume for each one, that would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Ah, those scroll bars. They don't stand out, as much, as I would like. I always overlook the ones in the Share Panel, though I have used them many times.
Unfortunately, PrE has chosen an arrangement, where Audio & Video Tracks are grouped. I like the PrPro layout, where all Video Tracks are above a "centerline" and all Audio Tracks are below that.
About the closest that one can come in PrE is to use Delete Unused Tracks, to remove empty Video Tracks, or to View Video Tracks (alone), or View Audio Tracks (alone). With a combo of those, one can customize the Timeline a bit.
When cleaned up, one can then Add Tracks, for any additional Audio Tracks necessary.
If one did ONLY the View Audio, they loose the ability to refer to the Video Track, and with SFX, that is necessary, at least for me.
I like to keep each type of Audio on its own Track. That makes actions, like applying Track Keyframes, or adjustments to JUST that Clip, or Clip type. If I have SFX, music, camera Audio, and other Audio sources, I will put many SFX on their own Audio Track, the camera Audio on another, and then the music one one, or more additional Audio Tracks. Not too long ago, I had one Project with about 10 separate SFX Audio Tracks, one for a "loon," one for "crickets," three for "frogs," one for "pond ambiance," and then two for music (as I was doing faux DD 5.1 SS in PrPro), with one from Music F (front) and Music R (rear).
Good luck, and happy editing,
Hunt

Audio file missing from MOV when exported as a quicktime movie.

Using Keynote 9, I imported video into presentation that was edited in iMovie 9. When I export the presentation to quicktime movie the audio is missing from the video file. The audio file plays fine in the standard keynote presentation mode.

This is STRICTLY a work around! Official fix will come from Apple as an update more than likely.
Duplicate item first (File > Duplicate). On newly duplicated project change file association type (File > get info). Under name and extension section take out .key). Close Get Info and save with removing .key. Double click to open the file (now a compression). Open uncompressed folder (same name as original file, now shows as a folder). Now in the Data folder find a .mov file named "Recording" with randomly generated letters and numbers behind it. Drag .mov file to desktop or any other directory. Open extracted .mov file with QuickTime to verify integrity. Save as audio file only. Get Info on file again and place .key value at end of file/extension for project. Open project. Under Play menu option delete the recording. Under Audio inspector drag the .mov of audio only to recording back in. Test play project to see if its accurate. Export to QuickTime and see if issue is resolved.
If issue persists:
Export with corrupted audio as QuickTime. Separate the audio from video track. Delete audio. Import the extracted .mov audio file. Share > File. Enjoy.

Artwork doesn't xfer to BlackBerry unless its a "Purchased AAC audio file"

I've got a new BlackBerry Bold. I've had good success transfering my iTunes music to my phone, but I can only transfer album artwork for some of my songs. Only the songs in iTunes that are "Purchased AAC audio file" seem to successfuly transfer to my phone along with their artwork. None of the artwork transfers for my imported CDs or any iTunes purchases that are "Protected AAC audio file" even though I paid for these albums. Can anyone help me solve this mystery?

I have 2 categories of songs on I tunes that wont download to my new BB Bold- in all cases on the playlist on the BB music sync playlists it says the songs are "Protected (Digital...."
1- songs originally downloaded from CD's onto I tunes, I have been able to download those onto Ipods but not the Bold, I don't have this problem with all music from CD's just some
2- some purchased songs from I tunes wont download to the Bold-- I paid $.30 to remove the DRM for all songs that Itunes gave me the option to do that with on a message that popped up, yet other songs purchased from Itunes still wont download and I get the same "Protected (Digital...."
any suggestions on how to get those songs onto my Bold?
