Sound track files from iTunes go missing on moving home directory moved my

Howdy all!
I moved my home directory to an external disk not long ago and found that every aspect of an Aperture 3.0.3 slideshow survived EXCEPT that the links (?) to music files included on a secondary sound track appear broken. (This audio is NOT attached to a specific image.) These were all from my iTunes Music library, which appears unchanged after the move. The track timings, placement, and names are all correct, but a little exclamation-point-in-yellow-triangle warning symbol occurs at the beginning of each new sound file. Could someone point me to a way to reconnect the original files to the slideshow?? (I've searched this forum considerably and Googled the issue.)
fleuryfy posted on the subject "No audio after moving Project or Slideshow" on Apr 6, 2010 11:41 AM, which sounds very similar; I'd be grateful to hear from him about whether he had to completely remake the sound track or if re-importing the audio
The phrase "reconnecting referenced files" occurs all over the Web in the context of the release of 3.0.3, but it sounds like this problem persists for music files.
Many thanks for any suggestions or references.

Why is audio disappearing from Extracted Sound Track File?

I extracted the +Sound Track+ from a .mov file which was originally a .wmv file I'd edited and saved in QT Pro. Regarding the original movie from which I extracted the Sound Track, +Movie Properties+ indicated the +Video track+ as being +Sorenson H.263.+ The Sound Track extracted was +MPEG Layer 3.+
+MovieProperties/Audio Settings+ displayed Sound Track as a Mono audio track.
The extracted sound track appeared in a new QT Window/Player as "Untitled".
I hit play and the audio track played. I saved it as a Self-Contained Movie, hit play and it played again, no problem.
( +Movie Properties+ still displayed the +Sound Track+ Format as MPEG Layer 3/Mono)
I quit QT Pro and turned my attention to other projects in other applications.
Later, when I booted QT Pro and tried to listen to the Extracted Sound Track File, I hit play and the playhead moved, but there was no audible audio, or indication of audio in the equalizer display. It was as if the audio had disappeared. Opening +Movie Properties,+ the +Extracted Sound Track+ still appeared as MPEG layer 3/Mono and the track was still enabled.
On a hunch, I opened and played the original Movie from which I'd extracted the sound track. After that, I hit play again on the Extracted Sound Track Window/Player and voila! -- the audio miraculously reappeared and was fully audible. I don't understand. Why is this happening? I did save the Extracted Sound Track file as a self-contained movie. It doesn't make sense.
More to the point, _how does one extract a sound track and save/process it such that the extracted sound track remains intact with full playback capability, without first having to play the original movie from which it was extracted in order to make the Extracted Sound Track file playback._

Thanks RT...
The curious thing is, if I boot the computer and open the +Extracted Sound Track+ file in Quicktime, it's hit or miss. Sometimes the audio is there. Sometimes it's not. If I however, play ANY other Quicktime Movie on my computer and THEN open the +Extracted Sound Track+ File, the audio miraculously reappears. What can it be?
I've got Streamclip. Haven't used it much but I'll try your approach and export the file back to a Quicktime Format.

Cannot delete movie file from iTunes

After converting movie file via Quicktime and adding it to the iTunes library, I am not able to remove it anymore. If you try to delete it, it crashes iTunes and after that all desktop icons are frozen. The movie does not play in iTunes, you cannot edit its info without crashing iTunes either. Movie plays in preview pane in Finder....
Is there any other way to remove the file from iTunes?

Try deleting the file without iTunes running.
When you next open iTunes it should then be marked as a missing file and you should be able to delete the entry from iTunes.
Hope this works

Deleted files from iTunes not showing in Trash Can

Hi there,
I am experiencing a problem where if I delete a track or podcast from iTunes and select the option Move to Trash, it does not show up in my Trash Can on the dock unless I open TC in Finder. Only then the TC logo on the dock shows that TC is not empty. Is this something that only I am experiencing? Any help to explain why this is and how to remedy it would be appreciated.
Thanks,
DeMarHc

I have found that if I delete files from iTunes, I don't see paper showing in the trash indicating that something is there, but if I click the icon for the trash, the paper will suddenly appear...and opening the folder to view what's in the trash shows that the deleted song is, indeed, there.

Transferring GarageBand files from iTunes to iPad 2

I haven't discovered a way to transfer GarageBand files from the MacBook Pro via iTunes to my iPad with GarageBand installed.
I have selected 3 simple files i have done and added them to the GarageBand list on the Apps screen in iTunes. Each is a .band file and doesn't contain any plugins or video.
Each time I sync and open GarageBand on the iPad 2, I select the load icon that is supposed to show these three files from iTunes. Nothing is there.
Did I miss something?

But that begs the question, "Why the Load File icon?" It doesn't have any function per se that I can see.
i believe that its purpose at this time is for shareing GBi projects between iPads. perhaps a future releasse will allow for GBX to GBi transfers. if it's a feature you want, be sure to let Apple know:

Can't delete files from iTunes File Sharing

iPad, IOS 8.1.3
MacBook Pro Retina, OS 10.10.2
iTunes, v12.1
I'm trying to delete files from iTunes. In this instance, I have files I made in Pages, via my iPad, I have learned how to move them to my computer without using iCloud, which I prefer. Now I can't get them off of the iTunes app on my computer.
I have deleted them from my iPad and from my computer but they are still in the iTunes app on my computer. To see these one must plug the iPad into the computer. When iTunes, on the computer, opens, choose Apps from the side bar, (under settings), scroll down to File Sharing, pick the app, in this case Pages and there is a list of all the files, (docs), still on the computer, within iTunes.
If i drag one of the files to the desk top on my computer and clic on it it will open. This is true for any of the apps under File Sharing.
This seems very insecure to me and it also appears to take up space on my iPad.
Anyone know how to get rid of these files?

Hi,
I had an orhpanded link to a networkshare which does not exist anymore. With the "cmd" key pressed down I was able to dump the favorite to the trash.
Thank you.

How do I batch delete all my protected music files from iTunes.

Hi, in a moment of stupidity, while I was working on a backup folder of my friends files (from his broken computer - copied them to my PC so he could get them back onto his new PC) I managed to copy all of his songs from his iTunes folder into my iTunes library. I don't know how I managed to do this, maybe it was the fact that I was really tired at the time.
I own all my music - none of my music is copy protected (it is either downloaded from legal sites where the bands themselves [usually unknown or alternative artists] release their music, or I ripped the music from CD's I bought) and all of his music is copy protected.
Now thing is, I have upgraded my PC before realising I did this, so now I don't have the original iTunes library (formatted PC and reinstalled XP from scratch) - is there any tools out there that will find and delete all your copy protected files from iTunes?
I could go through song by song and when it comes up with the "Authorise computer - This computer is not authorised to play "******" Would you like to authorise it" and delete those songs, but as this is a very slow and time consuming process and considering I have 8,551 songs, I would prefer a faster way.
I would go and re-rip all the songs, as I have the original discs, but this would take very long, and put quite a bit of strain on my CD drive, and this would not account for all the songs I have spent years finding on the internet/demo songs from friends bands.
Any help is appreciated, as I would love to be able to remove all of his songs so they don't keep popping up in my iTunes library
Thanks in advance.
Dale.

I have never tried this and am not at a computer with iTunes, but can you delete from a Smart Playlist? If so, you could make a smart playlist that shows songs that are of kind Protected ACC. Then select all and delete from that playlist. But I am not so sure if you can delete from a smart playlist.

My iPod 4G, after reset and iOS 6 install, now has only some album art after syncing music. Even music directly downloaded from iTunes is missing album art. (I'm using iTunes 11.0.1 on Windows Vista)

My iPod 4G, after a reset and iOS6 install, after I recopied and synced music, is missing most album art. Even songs directly downloaded from iTunes are missing album art. I'm using iTunes 11.0.1 on Windows Vista. My iPod isn't full. Whenever I go to "On This iPod" and add album art and sync, nothing happens. Please help :/

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

HT1766 If I have accidently deleted my music files from iTunes on my PC laptop, can I get them back from my iPad which was synced just before I deleted all the files?

I accidently deletes all my music files from iTunes on my PC laptop. Can I get them back using my iPad mini Retina that was synced just before I deleted the files? I am a bit old fashioned, so all of my music has been imported from my CD,s, not purchased from iTunes store. I could re-import, but almost 5,000 songs. Especially when they are sitting there on the iPad.

Yes, if they were purchased from iTunes. If they were CD's you copied to your iTunes library, then synced to your iPad, you may be forced to redownload the CDs again.
Connect your iPad to your computer via USB and with iTunes open wait for your iPad to recognized on the left side of the iTunes screen. Right click your iPad once and a dialog box will apear. Choose Transfer Purchases and the music apps, etc., you purchased will transfer to your iTunes library on your computer.

I accidentally deleted my media files from iTunes and Trash when I was trying to move the files to an external hard drive. Is there a way to restore the media files from a Time Machine backup or from iTunes Match? What are the steps to do this?

If you have been backing up on Timemachine.
All you need to do is enter time machine... Then the rest is obvious.
Find the iTunes folder and hit 'Restor'.
If not the only way to get all your iTunes music back is to enter iTunes Store.
On the right hand side you should see 'Purchased'.
Click 'purchased' and there you have it.

I have some audio files on my previous phone which I would like to export to my new iPhone 5. I am told that you can only import files from iTunes. Is that true? If not, how do I import files from my phone - or my Macbook pro laptop-to my phone? Thanks!

iTunes will only import music from your phone that was purchased from the iTunes store. To transfer music from other sources you have to use 3rd party software, such as PhoneView.

How do I permanently delete music files from itunes AND my computer (without going to the folder to delete each item)? It's a windows system. I've tried 'reset all dialogue warnings' as I've been told to do but no luck. Files are still in Itunes folders.

Solved! Music was in Itunes folder but not in Media folder within that. It doesn't seem like a very user friendly system so far!

"Entitlements are not valid" error message when trying to sync ipa file from iTunes to iPad

Is anyone else getting this error message, "Entitlements are not valid", when trying to sync .ipa file from iTunes to iPad?
The issue I'm having is getting the ipa file that was built by the 'Adobe Flash Packager for Iphone' installed into my iPad.
So, I have a swf file that works and was able to publish it into the Android Market. I then compiled and build the same flash project with the Packager for Iphone into an .ipa file. But when I try and install this .ipa file into my iPad to do my testings, i'm getting the error message.
I would like to test my ipa file in my iPad device before submitting it to the Apple Store.
Any help would be appreciated. thank you.

Developing for iphone can be amazingly complicated and frustrating. (even before you start coding). The process of having to create a Certificate, to approving the Certificate, to Assigning the deviceIDs to the certificate, to creating the AppIDs, to creating the provisioning profiles and then creating the .p12 file... is just too tedious.
I solved the problem of the "Entitlements are not valid". The AppID i had set in the iPhone Developer Portal did not match that of the AppID i had set in the Adobe Flash CS5 -> Publish Settings. (ie. com.yourdomainname.yourappname). After I re-entered my AppID and compile, i was able to sync the .ipa file into my ipad.
I wish the error message had been a little more descriptive. Could have saved me a whole day.
I hope this helps others. But my guess is, if you don't set the 40 character device ID correctly, or the email in the signingcertificate correctly, you'll get this same generic error message.

How can i copy the music files from itunes in mp3 format to my PC

How can i copy the music files from itunes in mp3 format to my PC

Dr. P,
Song files are just files. You can copy them the way you copy any other files, like photos or documents.
If any of the files are not already in MP3 format, and you wish to create MP3 versions, then you can convert them using iTunes, by following this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550

How do I import audio files from itunes to my project?

I know this could be very easy, I've imported music files from disc to projects before, but they keep going off line. So I want to find out an easier/better process to import music files from itunes into my FCP projects.

#5 Imported music from CD or iTunes
Shane's Stock Answer #5:
To get music into FCP, it needs to be an AIFF file at 48khz, 16 bit stereo. So if you want a song from a CD, you go into the iTunes Preferences and set this up under the IMPORTING tab:
File > preferences > importing > import using - AIFF encoder > Setting - Custom
Sample Rate - 48.000 kHz
Sample size - 16 bit
Channels - Stereo
If you have an mp3 that you want to use, then you can convert it thru iTunes as well.
If the piece of music you want to use is something you purchased thru iTunes, I'm afraid I can't help you there. There are copywrite issues that prevent files from being converted into the format that FCP can recognize.
