Syncing Audio Files to iCloud

I have iTunes running on a PC.  In iTunes I have music that I have purchased through iTunes, and also some non-commercial audio files.  These are old radio shows that I purchased on CD and imported directly to iTunes.  They are not something that iTunes match is going to recognize.
I have an iPhone5 and I'd like to have both the music and the radio show audio files on it.  I have the iPhone5 set to sync with the iCloud.  Unfortunately only the music shows up on the iPhone5 via the iCloud.  No radio show audio files.
Can someone tell me how I can get the radio show audio files into the iCloud so that they will appear on all my devices?
Thanks,
Gary

Thanks for the super-quick answer!  Looks like that might work.  You actually go 'right click,' then 'get info' and then change Media Kind from Music to Podcast.  When I do that, the file disappears from my list of songs as you would expect, but doesn't show up under Podcasts in iTunes.  Not sure where it went!  Maybe if I wait a while it will show up in the Podcasts app on my iPhone5?
Another option seems to be 'right click' and 'Create AAC version.'  This changes the 'slashed iCloud' icon, which means 'not eligible for iCloud' into an unslashed iCloud icon.  Waiting for an update to see if this allows the file to be copied to iCloud and then back to my devices.
I'll post an answer if either or both of these approaches work.  Thx.

  • My iPod touch generation 4 won't sync audio files.

    I got my iPod touch (gen 4 ) for Christmas this year, and it did not sync audio files at all, yet it synced photos and apps fine. So I went on various websites trying to find help for the problem, and the websites told me to restore the iPod. So I did and it got frozen on recovery mode. I took the iPod back, and got it swapped for a new one, but the new one has the same problem. It will not sync music or podcasts (I haven't tried videos or audiobooks). I am at a total loss as to what I can do, I don't know whether it is my computer, or the iPod! Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I really want to get my iPod working properly! Thanks.

    Yeah, it syncs apps perfectly fine! When I try to sync music/podcasts, it peforms steps 1 - 3 fine (which is preparing the iPod for sync and backing it up etc.) but then when it comes to actually syncing it (steps 4 + 5), the computer freezes, and gets stuck and will not let me click anything, yet the iPod still says that it is syncing. I left it for a couple of hours, when I was just trying to put a couple of songs on, and nothing had changed. And it's only once that I have actually unplugged my iPod that iTunes starts to work again. And then the error messages: "The iPod 'Amelia's iPod' can not be synced. It is not conneceted" and "Attempting to copy to the disk 'Amelia's iPod' failed. An error occured while writing to the device." And occasionally an error message with '(-20)'. I have tried disabling my firewall, deleting backup history as well.
    I have tried connecting it manually (dragging and dropping) as well as automatically!

  • Out of sync audio file with video

    I have a audio clip that was recorded seperatly from video. I add the audio track which is voice to the video that I have of a person giving speach. I line them up where speach begins and is in sync but say 10 mins into it the clips are out of sync! They should both be in the same time but they are not, how do I fix this?

    Once you've determined answers to David's queries,
    you will have a better idea of ways to fix
    this...i.e. if the audio rates are not aiff and
    exactly 48.0Khz/16bit, you could export the audio
    into a new file with those parameters and replace
    current audio with this file.
    Actually, I tried that last night as well after reading this forum. I sent the good audio (aif) to SoundTrack Pro and resampled the file at 48khz to match the sequence settings. Unforunately, this still did not fix the problem.
    I also looked at changing the base timing rate from 29.97fps to 30, but I coudn't see a way to change this. I tried changing it from the Advanced settings from the Sequence Settings Dialog, and I can change to 30, but it then gives an error message that it cannot do that.
    The idea of a speed change is one I hadn't thought of, but I am doubtful of the results. I seem to be either stuck with bad audio or arduously cutting up the audio every 5 minutes to get it back in sync at those intervals.... I wish I understood why this is happening. It doens't make sense to me.
    I still think it has to do with drop frame/non-drop frame, since I was told the whole point of 29.97fps was t solve an audio sync problem. When the audio isn't coming from a video source recorded or captured at 29.97fps then we are going to have sync problems. The question is, now to get it back into sync with these external audio source files, without a lot of headache.

  • How to sync Finder files to iCloud without moving them there

    Hi
    I want to sync files on my HD to my iPad via iCloud but want to keep them in their location on the HD in Finder. I don't want to have to move them manually to the iCloud folder or duplicate them (because then I have to remember where the original was)
    Is it possible to have a file in Finder (Documents) sync'd via iCloud or does it have to be in the iCloud folder?
    Thanks
    Chris.

  • Syncing game files with iCloud and restoring:

    I was wondering if I back up my iPod touch with iCloud and  restore, will I be able to continue in the games that I have on it without restarting at the beginning levels?  I was going to restore it to get rid of the "Other" space being taken up.  It is clear up to 2.9 GB!

    Ok so I can do a complete restore and keep my place in all my games? Also, has it always been this way? Or did it only become this way when iCloud came out? When I have done a restore before iCloud was out, it did not keep my game progress and at the apple store they told me it wouldn't keep my game progress if I restored.

  • Why do I have to re-sync audio files every time I republish?

    after I update my presentation and republish it, the audio links are broken. The only way I know how to fix it is to go slide-by-slide and add the audio back in. Is there a way to re-publish without losing audio?

    Well, I was charging it and playing some music. I looked down, and the screen was bright White....I could not shut it off. I unplugged it and held down the buttons, it turned off and never turned back on again.
    It was extremely hot. Not enough to burn you, but sorta like a cup of coffee hot.
    They were not sure what happened, but i got a new (not refurbished) touch.
    Wish I could figure out this registration thing though.

  • ITunes will not sync audio to iPad under Snow Leopard

    When I try to sync audio (music and podcasts) from my MacBook Pro to my new iPad, nothing gets transferred.  They are listed under the iPad heading at the left of iTunes, but have a gray chasing-arrows icon to the left of the names.  (I tried to include an image, but it doesn't work.)
    My contacts and calendar do get copied to the iPad.
    If I boot from a different partition running Lion, with the same home folder, iTunes does sync audio files.  But I'd like to get it running under Snow Leopard.

  • How do I put audio files in Music without syncing to iTunes?

    I'm on the road with my laptop and iPhone.  I've created some audio files on the laptop and I need to put them on my iPhone.  I'd like to access them with the Music folder.  I haven't yet converted from MobileMe to iCloud and my desktop computer is the one I use to sync to my iPhone.  If I used my laptop to sync to my iPhone while on the road I believe that I'll lose all of my current music and podcasts on the iPhone.  Any suggestions as to how I could get these audio files from my laptop to my iPhone?
    Thanks,
    Landis

    Hmm.
    Probably easier for me to put all my stuff on my wife's computer I suppose.
    Rebuilding all those iTunes playlists is not very fun though.
    And of course anything new that I want on my laptop I will have to duplicate on her laptop in the future.
    Not sure how iCloud works just yet.
    So you can't have two laptops and manually sync both people's stuff to one iPad?

  • How can I see previously stored tunes no longer on my computer? Where are iCloud audio files?

    Maybe my question has an answer too "obvious" for me to see it.  But lately I've become aware of tunes that, for one reason or another, are not showing in my iMac's iTunes program. I went to System Preferences and clicked on "iCloud."  Immediately, I saw how to check iCloud for the following files and documents: Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Notes, Safari (not sure what this category could be for--seeing what was on the web at some prior point in history?), Photo Stream, Documents & Data, Back to My Mac, Find My Mac.
    In other words, going to iCloud appears to reveal categories for all of your iCloud content EXCEPT your music files.  I know about iTunes Match, and I think I like it, now that I've gotten used to a few of its quirks.  But certainly there are times when the owner of downloaded, commercial audio files (i.e. Tunes) will not have them on his computer.  And certainly there must be a way for me to see what I've previously stored in the Cloud--if only to remind myself of the music I've purchased and have available to me.
    I may be missing something about the whole iCloud concept.  Is there a way for me to see tunes I've previously stored in the iCloud but no longer have on my computer?  (I'm always careful not to delete tunes from my iTunes program unless I see 2 or more identical files appearing on my computer).
    Thanks for any directions to the iCloud musical holdings / archives--or clarification of any misunderstandings.
    Cap
    (I see that I'm currently running OS 10.8.2.  I have only 500 gigs of memory, and my music collection is so larg, I'm almost dependent on being able to access songs in the iCloud.  Next time, I'll certainly pony up for the largest memory Apple offers on an iMac.)

    They are not showing up in Lightroom at all. I already deleted them.
    When I try to import them again into Lightroom it wants to add another 2012 folder to wherever I am trying to insert them and then it does the month/day folder when it already has the month folder it should automatically go into and not be adding a seperate 2012 folder first.
    I can't even get it to do the above right now. Now all it does is it wants to make this seperate 2012 folder with the month/day folders but has little boxes beside each folder showing that there are no images to import. The images do show up on the import screen but they are all darkened and unchecked. When I click the proper folder to import them they come on bright and have little boxes checked, but that lasts for less than a second before it decides they are not new. They are new images, I deleted them all out of Lightroom, and probably missed deleting some through Lightroom but instead deleted them straight from the folder outside of Lightroom. This is what is probably causing me such grief and I have found nothing in my searches to tell me how to correct this. *sigh*

  • 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.

  • How can I match tempo & sync of old audio files to Garageband?

    HI all,
    Final question and it's a doozy. While I know the "general concepts" for trying to accomplish the following, acutally trying to get it to work is frustrating. At first thought that the new Garageband tempo/playing thing would work but I'm not being successful. Perhaps there are better programs for this. I am moderately aware of the beat/slicing/tempo tap programs -- I just don't have the lets-do-it-detail to make it work.  Here is the goal.
    #0 - New DAW file is created in either Garageband or Logic Pro.
    #1 - I have old stereo MP3 and AIFF files digitally dubbed from old cassettes, some recorded 30 and 20 years ago. Most were recorded to click track or drum machine. Newer tracks are MIDI but my first tracks are purely audio.
    #2 - I drag an audio file (MP3 or AIFF) into either Garageband or Logic Pro. The track becomes an audio track.
    #3 -- I need to edit off the beginnings of these tracks. If Garagebands new tempo sync thing is enabled, you can't seem to do this. Once the track is playing -- the tempo should be moderately consistently (The originals often used a Roland TR 707 ??? drum machine). However, the tempo might not be perfect and I might need flexibility.
    So, how do I ACTUALLY DO THIS?
    #4 - The goal is to get the NEW song template to match it's tempo to the audio track. The song now has the correct tempo that (hopefully) perfectly matches the original track.
    #5 - If this works, the old audio track is like an old temp track that is frozen in place.
    #6 - I record new fresh tracks against this backing tracking. Voila, I have a newly semi-produced or at least recorded song based on the old recording.
    Sounds easy but the devil is in the tricky details. Thanks for any tips, suggestions, references to forums, blogs, YouTube videos or books.
    I am open to other software as well.
    Thanks in advance. I'll stop bothering you after this. :-)

    Attach your welcome audio to an object that is not seen (e.g. a highlight box set to 0%) and use your Advanced Actions and variables to HIDE this object ON SLIDE ENTER if the user returns to the same Menu slide at a later point in the course module.
    This should mean that the first time the user gets to that slide, the audio will play.  But all subsequent times they return to that slide, the object will be immediately hidden on entering the slide, which will mean that the audion does not play and all the user sees are the menu options.
    Your alternate strategy would be to have two slides that look almost the same.  The first one has the audio, and the second one doesn't.  Your TOC item for Menu, and any other links in the project that point to the Menu, would go to the second slide without audio.  The user will be none the wiser as long as you work out the navigation.

  • Sync audio with two different video files to create split screen

    I want to sync two different video files to a high quality audio file and create a split screen from there in Final Cut Pro X. Help please?

    I'm following along at home, Tom, trying to make sense out of your instructions. (Editorially: This kind of operation is among the reasons I thoroughly loathe FCPX.) This would have been easy in FCP7. Perhaps it's actually the same amount of work (you are describing operations in FCPX I have not bothered to try yet—too scared) but it's far more direct the old way: Find sync points for all three files, stack them up in a timeline, nudge till precisely matched, apply effects.
    But I'm glad you're here to help us through this stuff!
