The old "part of the song can't be played"  message

Okay... so I bought an MBP for recording on Pro Tools and Garage Band.
There are two unusual trends/problems that have occured since my purchase on Garage Band that I'm hoping someone can explain and maybe help me out with.
First off, when I first start playing a song in GarageBand, I ALWAYS get the "part of the song can't be played because you too many tracks... etc." message. For some reason, I have to do a couple of minor tasks in GarageBand, then just start my song, hit okay on that message prompt, start again, about 5 times, then I usually don't see it for awhile.
Why does this happen? Is there anything that I can do to help this (besides the Optimizing Performance steps because I read and have done all of those.
Second, I just finished a song, and it had a ton of tracks (probably about 20), and so I locked them all up, and tried to listen to my song... it will not play back. That stinkin' message just keeps coming up. I have iStat Pro on my Dashboard... I hit play on my song, and then go to my iStat and monitor my CPU and RAM, all is good... but the song won't play. I have something like 1.9 GB of RAM left and my CPU is only at 40% or so... but within 20 seconds the song will not play and I get that message.
Why is this happening? What am I doing wrong? Is there another part of my computer that is being used to the max that the song cannot be played back?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I didn't find too much for today, but there are new deals all the time. In descending size and price order:
500GB for $224

320GB for $110
http://www.egoodz.com/product.asp?pf_id=ST3320620A
200GB $50 (after rebate)

I've purchased things from Zipzoomfly and circuit city (and have not had a bad experience with their rebates), but have never purchased from egoodz.
For a case, my favorite is this Macally PHR-100AF FireWire External Enclosure for $37. I've built 3 drives with this one and would definitely buy another if I needed a case.
So with that 200GB drive and this case you could do it for around $90
If you want me to see if there are any deals on preassembled drives I can take a look around

    Since purchasing the Note 3 in October i have had nothing but issues. I went through all the steps and eventually I was sent a different phone, which was working for the most part until the recent upgrade. Now I am back to the old issues, no service, it actually says not moblie network available, when everyone else in my family has coverage and are on my plan with iphones. I am missing text messages and dropping calls left and right. This is unacceptable for the cost of this phone and my service. I have did a hard reset etc. What else can I do??

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • The new itunes overfills my window. When I try to move it to the left so that I can use the slide bar on the right, part  of the left side of screen is not visible. How can I fix this, please.

    The new itunes overfills the window on my desktop ( windows 7). When I move it to the left so that I can access the slidebar on the right, part of the left side of the screen then disappears. How do I correct this?

    The problem of tracks becoming de-linked between iTunes and the music files in your iTunes music folder happens for different reasons - this seems to come up fairly commonly in this forum.
    The solution can be to locate each song in the iTunes library, as you mentioned - or, but wait, before I get to that...
    trouble finding the original track in your iTunes music folder? maybe look for it under compilations, or if not using the 'group compilations preference' then look in the folder under the songs artist name, but what song artist name iTunes uses depends on what you have in the metedata tag spot for album artist or song artist. Any varyation in artist name spelling, in the menu item 'get info' metadata for any selected individual track will cause iTunes to create that as a separate artist folder in the library, even names like 'various' or any difference at all (even the word 'the' can change where in your iTunes music folder a track gets placed by iTunes). You can try to use the finder function of find file (finder munu item outside of iTunes) to locate hard to find items.
    Back to how to re-link any de-linked tracks .
    There may be scripts that can help re-link de-linked music files - or, at least provide you a list of such files, Scripts are easy to install and use...
    at Dougs Scripts, there is one called iTunes Track CPR that might work
    http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=itunestrackcpr
    or, if you just want a list of de-linked tracks, go to
    http://dougscripts.com/itunes/
    and find the script called List MIA's, this will create a text file listing all de-linked tracks

    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3633708
    also the thread at
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/17513078#17513078
    you may find more insight into dealing with this kind of issue there, although some of that thread may not apply to your case, aspects of it might help.
    Good luck.

  • I'm trying to cut out the introductory part of a song that I imported from ITunes and not start the song from the beginning

    Has anyone ever imported a song from Itunes and deleted the first part of the song so that it starts at a certain location?

    Sure. Drag the song into your Project from the Music Browser and drop it on the clip where you want it to start. It should appear as a ribbon underneath your video clips. You can then drag the left edge if the clip to the right, until it starts where you want it to.
    This video Tutorial may help.
    http://www.apple.com/findouthow/movies/imovie08.html#audioclips
    Another way. Once you drag in the music clip, click the gear icon on the clip to open the clip trimmer. You can change where the clip starts there.
    See iMovie Help here for all the details.

  • AppleCare for MB Pro. Is AppleCare with the old part number valid?

    I've got a Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro and went to Amazon.com to get AppleCare. The AppleCare product for this Mac has a part number of M8853LL/A, while the AppleCare in the Apple Store and other places is part number MA515LL/A. It looks like the same thing, but with different packaging and a different part number. If I buy a version of AppleCare with the old part number is it valid on a Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro?
    Thanks for any insight anyone can provide.
    MacBook Pro Core Duo 2 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

    As long as the Amazon product states that it's compatible with a MacBook Pro you'll be fine.

  • Selecting the middle part of a song to add to my movie.

    I expect that this question has been asked before but my quick search has not found answers.
    When I want to add music to the movie and I select a track from my audio link the whole tune is imported, which is OK if I want a the entire tune. I know that I can clip and discard the later part of the tune to suit the length required but how do I chop off some of the beginning if I want to have only a part of the song somewher in the middle of the recording?

    You'd have to do it prior to bringing the song file into your Project.  You could use Quick Time Pro, Garageband or the free open souce, Audacity.
    But by the time you pre-edit your song, you might as well have just done it in iMovie.
    If you find yourself using the same bits and pieces of songs in many projects it might be worth the time making the cut-down versions.
    Or, if you want to invest the money, Final Cut Pro X allows you to import audio files as events so that you just selcet what you want to add to a project.

  • I would like to know it it's possible to change the scroll bar from the right part of the firefox browser, to the left part and, if it's possible, how can it be done. Thank you!

    The scroll bar (the one used to scroll up and down any kind of website), that is normally in the right part of the firefox browser, would be of much help to me if it could sometimes be moved to the left part of the browser. Is this possible? How can it be done? Can anybody tell me the exact steps to take in order to do this (if it is possible of course)? This would be helpfull to me, since I think that the firefox scroll bar is overlaping the scroll part of the facebook chat sidebar, since I just can see a few people on this facebook chat sidebar and I can´t scroll along it, as I could a while ago. So my guess is that the firefox scroll bar is covering the other. In order to solve it in a simpler way, I guessed that if the firefox scroll bar could be moved to the left side of the browser, this problem could be solved. So, can anybody help me?

    http://kb.mozillazine.org/layout.scrollbar.side
    Type '''about:config''' in Location (address) bar
    filter for '''layout.scrollbar.side'''
    Right-click the Preference and Modify it to '''3'''
    You may need to reload any pages open to have scrollbar move to left after Preference change.

  • Where can I buy a larger hard drive for my late 2008, 15" macbook pro?  From reviewing questions and answers on the support community it would appear that having Apple remove the old and install the new hard drive is recommended.  But how/where?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You can install the new hard disk yourself if you want to. You just need a 2'5" SATA II hard drive, which is compatible with your MacBook Pro. You can buy one at OWC > http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/2.5-Notebook/ You can filter hard drives by computer, so press a "Click to view all...", choose your computer in the sidebar and it will give you the compatible hard drives.
    There are different brands for the MacBook Pro. The most recommended are HGST and Seagate, which have good reputation. A 7200 rpm hard drive will give you extra performance

  • HT204053 I have changed my apple ID and I changed it via computer.  When I just went to update my apps, my phone is still showing the old apple ID so I can't log in to update.  How do I change the apple ID from my iphone?

    I have successfully changed my apple id via computer.  Now, how do I change it on my actual phone?  I have the 5.1.1 iphone 3G.

    I recently changed my email address and want to change my Apple ID account to match. I have created a new Apple ID to match the new account but now I can't sign into iCloud on our phones or computer with the old Apple ID. I can't make any changes on iCloud on our phones because it directs me to the old account, which I can't sign into. I also can't sign me in on my computer to make any changes. Help!!! Now I have two addresses and can't access the one that directly affects my devices. 

  • I have my current iPhone backed up onto iCloud but it also has my old iPhone on there as well. My new phone has all the data from my old iPhone on, so can I delete the old iPhone from the iCloud as its taking up memory? Thank you

    Sorry I wrote the question in the title!!
    I have my iPhone 4 and my new iPhone 5 on my iCloud storage. It's now nearly full as it still has my old phone on it.
    If I delete the phone from iCloud memory it won't delete the data from me new phone that was originally backed up from the old phone
    Via the cloud?
    Thank you very much! 

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Of course. If you don't need your old phone's backup, you can remove it. Open Settings > iCloud > Storage and Backup > Manage Storage, select the old device backup and delete it.
    The new iPhone backup won't be deleted and you will keep everything on the new phone

  • I have a problem with Safari in IOS 8 on my iPad 3. The bookmarks take up a third of the screen and I can't seem to make the bookmarks disappear until I need them. The useful part of the screen is therefore very small. Any suggestions gratefully appr

    I have a problem with Safari in IOS 8 on my iPad 3. The bookmarks take up a third of the screen and I can't seem to make the bookmarks disappear until I need them. The useful part of the screen is therefore very small. Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.

    OK, it now sort of works. A couple of problems here:
    After updating IOS, Safari iCloud was "automatically" switched off
    Switching it on had no effect
    resetting my iPad automatically switched off safari iCloud again
    after switching it back on, it said "turning off safari data"
    switched it off and on again, now it said : "turning on safari data" and the sync worked
    On IOS 7 no problems
    The bookmarks not being displayed was because after pressing the book icon, it defaulted to showing the history and I had to press "Back" to get to the other options

  • I would like to copy all the songs from one Ipod into another. All the songs are into my Itunes account, I tried to drag and drop the songs from the old Ipod to the new one but it doesn't work. Is there a way to do it ?

    Hello everybody,
    I would like to copy all the songs from one Ipod into another. All the songs are into my Itunes account, I tried to drag and drop the songs from the old Ipod to the new one but it doesn't work. Is there a way to do it ?
    I share one Itunes account with other people from my family and one person would like to keep the same songs on the new Ipod as the ones which were on the old one.
    Thanks in advance for your answer.
    Yan

    Hello Chris,
    Thanks for your answer. I was hoping for an easier answer. Too bad there is no drag and drop solution, it would have been much easier.
    Thanks for answering so fast.
    Bye.

    thanks, back me old bookmarks only, thanks.

    Hi eddinchina,
    You should have no need to use the Old Sync account.
    As long as device or devices are Firefox 29 or later (They should all be Firefox 30 now) you should use the New Sync.
    You may use the same email address with both accounts.

  • My email recently changed and so I updated my Apple ID to reflect my new email, but my Icloud account still shows the old email as the username on both my Iphone and Ipad and for the life of me I can't figure out how to change or delete it.

    My email recently changed and so I updated my Apple ID to reflect my new email, but my Icloud account still shows the old email as the username on both my Iphone and Ipad and for the life of me I can't figure out how to change or delete it.  My password doesn't work with the old email address.  When I look for my old email address in the Apple ID support area it says that the ID doesn't exist.  Help!!!

    You have to go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated credentials.  This deletes the account and your synced data from your device, but not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing to a different account, your data will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.
