Song transfer problem

I'm having trouble transferring a song from iTunes into Garage Band. After following the instructions, I see the song in the Garage Band documents window in iTunes, but it does not show up in Garageband "Copy from iTunes" after a sync. It's an m4a file. So then I created a song in GarageBand, and exported it to iTunes. I see it there in the Garage Band documents window. But when I look in Garage Band on the iPad and try to copy it back in, it does not appear in the Copy from iTunes window. I'm using iTunes on Windows.

I tried WAV and it didn't work either. Searching more deeply, I found another thread on the same subject. It seems that the method given in the help file for importing from iTunes to GarageBand on iPad is actually not implemented. See https://discussions.apple.com/message/13228478#13228478 Some workarounds can be found there. The easiest thing seems to be to just record analog using either an iRig or just play the song from your computer speakers into the iPad mic. Of course, that's pretty slow, but for making a short loop it's ok.

PC to Mac song transfer problem

I've looked through tutorials on this, but haven't found a good answer, one that is specific to my situation.
I have an iPod Classic which is currently synced with a Windows computer; itt has 60GB worth of songs on it. I want to transfer all of those songs to a Mac, which already has a large amount of music on it -- which I absolutely need to keep intact. From that point on, I want to have the iPod sync with the Mac.
This is sort of a two-part question:
-How do I do this?
-How do I do this if I don't have access to the PC that the iPod is currently synced with? (Most of the tutorials cover this situation -- where I can go back, rearrange the music library, put the iPod in disk mode, etc. But still -- even those tutorials don't cover my specific situation, as mentioned above.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

when i was trying to transfer stuff from my pc to my mac, when i tried to initiate it on the mac, it was REALLY slow. when i initiated it on the pc, it went very quick. i did mine via firewire but was surprised that speed seemed to depend on which computer the transfer was initiated on. maybe try starting the transfer from the mac and see what happens?

Can someone help with my itunes song skipping problem?

I just got a new laptop and transfered all the songs successfully, downloaded the newest itunes and bought more songs from the itunes store and two days later, my songs started skipping. They aren't skipping as bad as i've read on the messages boards of other people, maybe one small skip in various songs.
But...
Once I plug in my ipod to the usb port, will the skipping songs transfer onto my ipod and start making them skip as well? I checked my ipod and all the songs are ok, but I haven't attached my ipod since the songs started skipping.
Oh yeah...I've set Quicktime to safemode, I've read on these boards about switching to safemode...but nothing changed.
What do you guys think?

Unless the problem is with the songs themselves, moving the songs to your iPod will not make them skip there. Before you sync the files in question you should play them with another medium (ie. "Windows Media Player"). This will help you pinpoint where the problem is.

IMOVIE08/IPHOTO08 TRANSFER PROBLEM QUESTION... HELP HELP HELP!!!

IMOVIE/IPHOTO TRANSFER PROBLEM QUESTION... HELP HELP HELP!!!
much like the email above, i am having trouble importing movies --all taken with my same nikon camera and uploaded to iphoto-- from iphoto08 to imovie08. i did a software update today and half the movies i wanted from iphoto, somehow, ended up on imovie. not the half i need to work with, by the way. just came back from christmas with the family. the first time my dad has seen my son. the first time my wife has seen my dad. lots of pictures. my dad wants copies. i got great ideas about making him a DVD... in imovie, i choose, "import movies", follow the steps, create a new event AND... no movie clips show up in my new event... BUT, when i click "mac HD" on my desktop and go the "imovie events", i see the movies is just supposedly imported to imovie as files and can watch them. doesn't help me much when trying to create a movie to send to my dad. no video is played in imovie. HELP HELP HELP!!! i went so far as to trash my 15 movies from iphoto because i thought perhaps the computer was seeing them as photos and not movies. right now my vacation movies are on my desktop. how can i get them to show up in imovie and start my project? HELP HELP HELP!!!

I think you have set your iPod to an option which everytime you connect it to itunes, it will delete all songs on it and replace it with songs currently in your library. What you need to do is click on the ipod on the sidebar, and on the bottem of the new page click the tick box that says "Manually manage music and video". That way you can delete old songs from your computer and they will stay on your ipod everytime you connect it. Hope that helps ^_^

ITunes 7.2 Problem: Song Order Problem

Equipment Specs:
IPOD -- First Generation, 1 G size, Firmware ver # 1.1.5
ITunes -- Ver # 7.2.0.34
Problem
I recently updated to the above version of ITunes. I also recently reset/erased all my songs (no podcasts or nothing else)from my IPOD.
I then reloaded just songs to my pod using the drag and drop method from the music file. I then re-arranged the songs in my desired order.
I then disonnected the pod and exited ITunes.
When I later restarted ITunes with the pod connected, my song order had changed. With the pod still open in ITunes, I am no longer able to change the play order position. As say, move song #45 to position #2 and etc.
Has something changed as I was always able to do this prior to updating ITunes and the pod ?
Was this caused by updating ITunes to the newest version?
Is there a solution to be able to manage the order of your songs as before ?
Can I use a 6.0 version of Itunes inorder to regain this song order problem. I was always able to use this function in a previous version.
Wished I never would have updated to 7.2 from whatever I had. I really should have know better.
Thx
Arc

Solved my problem by reloading ITunes Version 7.1.1.5. Now I can accomplish what I want to do.

File transfer problem

I have a 2009 intel iMAC running 10.6.8. Several months ago it developed a file transfer problem. When transferring files to an external server via ethernet cable, most of the time it will only let me transfer one file at a time whether is a small word document or a large video file that is several gigabytes. Even with transferring just one file, the elapsed time bar will not indicate the file has completely transferred. It stays open and appears as if it is still trying to transfer even though the file size transferred is equal to the size of the file. Plus the only way I can close the the transfer bar is to relaunch finder. Then when I go to the folder it was transferring it to, the entire file will be there.
Suggestions?

Have you tried restarting the external drive and the computer?

New to MacBook - slow LAN file transfer problem

My new MacBook is painfully slow when wifi-ing to my house LAN.
I turned in my old G4 iBook for a MacBook (2GHz C2D, 2GB, 10.4.9, all updates). I have a LAN that consists of a wired 1G Ethernet backbone (a Mini and a Powermac G5 are wired in) and a Snow AEB that provides 802.11g wifi access to the LAN. The wired LAN connects to a D-Link GB Ethernet switch so the wired systems can exchange files fast. The switch connects to a D-Link EBR2310 router that connects to a cable modem to ComCast. The router has the latest firmware (1.05, it's an 'A' version router).
The Mini, G5, and MB are static IPs on the LAN. The D-Link router passes out DHCP addresses >100, with addresses <101 reserved for static LAN IPs. I use static IPs for network reliability when recovering from power outages and other unforeseen glitches. The LAN has worked very well in this configuration, with fast file transfers among machines and good stability.
With my old 802.11g G4 iBook, I was able to watch DVDs that are stored on an external FW drive connected to the Mini. No stalls, no pauses, no dropouts - MenuMeters showed an average throughput of about 700KBytes/sec on the iBook when viewing a DVD. I used both VLC and DVD Player with good results.
With my new MacBook, I can't view my DVD files. 802.11g network transfer rates to the MB (indicated by MenuMeters and by Activity Monitor) vary rapidly from a high of about 1.1 MBytes/sec to 20 KBytes/sec. Movies stall, skip, etc.
Simple file copies from one system to another are also much slower with the MacBook - an average of ~100KBytes/sec vs. ~ 1.5 MBytes/sec with my old iBook. In short, the MacBook is dog-slow in file transfers from the other machines compared with my old iBook when using the wifi connection, with no change to the network infrastructure in going from the old laptop to the new. I would like to fix this.
My AEB is set up in bridge mode (simple access point) with WPA2 security. All three Macs are completely current with latest updates, as is the Snow AEB. The MB has 4 bars of signal strength. Slow file transfer problem does not change when moving the MB to or from the AEB.
Curiously, when I download a large file (like the Intel 10.4.9 combo update), the MB shows a steady ~800KBytes/sec download speed, with none of the speed variation it shows with file transfers from either the Mini or the G5. File transfers to/from the MB to either of the other Macs are very slow.
Both the Mini and the G5 have Airport cards: when I switch them from wired Ethernet LAN to wifi LAN, they transfer files between each other at ~ 2MBytes/sec - about what you'd expect from an 802.11g protocol. So the slow file transfer doesn't seem to be due to the AEB, it seems to be specific to the MacBook. When I connect the MB using its hardware Ethernet port, files transfer just as fast as the other systems.
I have tried these measures, without effect on the problem:
- power off/restart of every component in the system;
- changing the AEB to an open network mode;
- changing the MB from static IP to DHCP;
- toggling IPv6 on/off;
- running no applications other than Finder on all systems;
Activity Monitor on the MB doesn't show anything sucking up CPU cycles during file transfers. I have plenty of RAM. The only thing I've changed in the network is the swap of the iBook for the MacBook.
Can anyone suggest what else I can try to make acquisition of this nice shiny MacBook a step forward, rather than a step back? Thank you!

Hi,
Did you want to use the Live Migrations for that?
We recommend that you configure separate dedicated networks with gigabit or faster speed for live migration traffic and cluster communication, and these networks should be separate from the network used by the management operating system, and from the network
used by the virtual machines.

What are you doing to try to transfer them and what error are you getting? There are probably a dozen possible reasons, so narrowing it down would be very helpful.

Songs transfer to a playlist instead of Itunes library

When I download a song, it automatically transfers to a playlist, and I can't burn or transfer those songs to other playlists. The icon beside the playlist that these songs transfer to is like the library icon, but it is dark blue. I think that I'll have to change a setting in my downloader (Limewire), but I've tried unsuccessfully. Help!!

Insert the stick into the USB port on your computer, and open it so it looks like a window.
Highlight the tracks you want in iTunes, and drag them to that window.
This procedure will put copies onto the stick without changing anything in your library.
(If you normally run iTunes in full-screen mode, make it smaller so that you can do the drag-n-drop.)

575 LRE and data transfer problems

575 LRE and data transfer problems
Hello,
I have a connection from my provider using the Cisco 575 LRE, configured for 10 Mbit/s. I don't know the make and model of the switch but I assume it is likely a Cisco device also.
I'm experiencing problems with the LRE connection whenever big files are being transfered simultaneously in both down- and upstream directions to/from a PC. The data transfer may slow down to a stall and all WAN connectivity may become momentarily blocked. Transfer speeds and reliability always seem good as long as big files don't get transferred in both directions at the same time.
What could cause this problem? My service provider says that they see no problems in their end and they are unable to help me. I don't know how extensively they have looked into any possibility of problems though.
I've tried different 100Mbit network cards, replacing ethernet and phone cabling and changing duplex settings and MTU, but nothing has completely solved the problem so far. Forcing network cards to full-duplex does prevent the worst slowdown and hanging described above, but limits upload speed to around half of the maximum available.
Not sure if this is meaningful here, but my service provider claims they have the switch my CPE is connected to configured for full-duplex, but when I have a PC network card set to autonegotiation, it will always result in a 100baseTX half-duplex link with the 575 - this is the case where I get maximum speed in either one direction but also the mentioned problems with bi-directional transfer.
I don't know what more I can do to the PCs here to solve this problem and I don't have access to configuring the CPE device, because I don't own the switch it is connected to. I can only think of trying to ask my ISP to read this thread if someone has a possible solution that requires actions on their behalf.
Any help would be much appreciated.

The problem, as you describe it, is most likely cabling ...it could be the cable between your PC(s) and the 575 (most likely), or between the 575 and the switch.
What you are seeing are the effects of crosstalk (signal from one pair interfereing with the other pair), that's why you see it in full-duplex mode and not (so much) in half-duplex (with half-duplex, only one side talks at a time).
The only part you would be likely be able to change would be the connections on your side of the 575 ... so, try another cable; preferably a store-bought cable and in good shape (twisted, crushed, kinked, stretched, and poorly constructed cables are a Very Bad Thing).
LRE was designed to handle voice-grade cabling, but if you're at near the extreme length, you may see some degradation.
Good Luck
Scott

Is anyone having problems playing music on their iPhone? At times, particularly when you've got headphones in songs sound like a badly scratched CD, continually skipping in various sections of the song. Problem occured post-IOS 5 update.

Rhapsody music subscription transfer problems since updating DroidX to Gingerbread?

Since upgrading the DroidX to Gingerbread (2.3.3), the downloading of subscription music from Rhapsody has been highly unstable. Before that, it worked fine.
With extensive effort, I've gotten a few hundred songs transferred (about 13 playlists). But the 14th playlist froze during transfer, with error codes like 0xc00d2772 and other "general error" messages.
Once the problem starts, I can't transfer any more playlists successfully without 'purging everything' and starting from scratch.
BTW - I'm using the "sideloading" technique (not Rhapsody's Android app, which has also been slow and/or unreliable, but that's a different story).
I've tried numerous suggestions from various forums - too many to list. I called both Verizon and Rhapsody, who suggested various cleanup processes, downloading smaller playlists, downloading the tracks to my computer before transferring them to the phone, and other measures. These suggestions seemed to help.....but not for long. The problem always returns.
I've noticed numerous gripes about Gingerbread, and I suspect it might be the root cause of this problem. I can transfer music to 2 other non-android phones and my old Zen MP3 player.
Can anyone shed some light on this? Is it a Gingerbread problem? (I don't see it on d.harris' list of Gingerbread bugs https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/51997). Is this problem recognized by the developers? Is a fix in the pipeline? When might it be expected?   Wouldn't Verizon and/or Rhapsody have a vested interest, and put pressure on Motorola to get this addressed? Thanks.

get used to it and be more patience, u will feel better.
