Using Garageband amp simulators to play along with iTunes
Its probably a bug, but if iPod is playing a song and you open Garageband in iPad, iPod keeps playing. So you can configure an input and turn on input monitoring with and amp simulator to play along with iPod without having to import anything. However, the iPod play controls are not enabled. Double click the home button and swipe right to change the song, and the iPod controls are not enabled - it thinks the iPod doesn't have audio control.
Instead of fixing the bug by turning off iPod audio (the way most audio apps work), Apple should fix it by enabling the play controls. Then Garageband has a nice and simple way to play along with iPod tunes leveraging the iPad multi-tasking features, without having to do song imports.
Cool tip dude! I just tried it and it works a treat with the synths too. I panned the synth over to one side to try and separate the sounds out, which worked a bit but would be nice if I could pan itunes the other way. Great workaround for practicing and figuring out chords/keys etc. Thanks!

How can I play along with a MIDI sequence in Mainstage?
Hi folks,
I have some live performances where I would like to play along with MIDI sequences. I've been using Mainstage and software instruments, but can't for the life of me figure out how do play along with MIDI sequences. There's a nice plugin (whose name escapes me at the moment) that lets you play along with looped audio tracks....but a MIDI file would be better for my purposes. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance,
-Mike KaplanHi
Not directly within Mainstage.... there could be workarounds using 3rd party applications slaved to MS, but it would be a complete pita (compared to working with scripts to iTunes Playlists or just bouncing the MIDI files to audio).

Monitoring while playing along with tracks
This is probably a stupid question but for some reason I can't quite figure it out.
I have recorded several tracks of audio instruments and I want to record a live guitar audio tracks onto track 1 using Guitar Rig (or similar). When I arm the track I can hear the plug-in effect but when I hit 'play' it disappears to I can't play along with my backngs (to practice!). I hear the guitar when in record mode but is there a setting I am missing to play along with my other tracks?
Thanks
SCheck the settings of Software Monitoring in your audio preferences, and make sure that Auto Input Switching is on.

My iPhone 5 won't let me use my apps until I connect them with iTunes after downloading ios7. There's just a thing that pops up and says that in order to activate banners and push notifications I have to connect the app with iTunes. The thing won't go away no matter how many times I push ok, and it doesn't give me another option. Solutions?
Oh my gosh I had the EXACT same problem, and for ages I couldn't figure out how to fix it until today. Here's what I did:
First I went onto my computer, opened itunes, and un-installed tumblr, vine and kik. These were the apps I was having problems with (it said I had them on my phone but, like you, they didn't show).
Then I went to the itunes store, searched for each one, and it said I could update them so I did (just FYI: for tumblr a window popped up saying "please click ok to confirm you are 17 years or older", so I did that also)
When I went back to my phone and tried installing them again (still on my computer), it worked!
I hope this helps, because it was incredibly frustrating. Good luck! -
I just bought a new computer and had files transferred along with itunes to the new computer. I can't get it to work. It doesn't recognize the extensions for itunes. I also tried downloading Quicktime and couldn't get it to download.

I would start with:

Using the "if you have never synched with itunes" instructions, will I lose all data on the phone? That is the most important information, how to recover the data. The phone is fungible.
Thanks @ KiltedTim, but losing "only" any data is really not acceptable and, in this case, the phone had not been backed up, but thanks for taking the time. Also, yes, fungible means what I think it means. An iphone is a completely substitutible commodity, unlike my data, so instructions that inform me as to how to fix a phone I could replace for a small sum of money while failing to address the more important issue of the data are almost useless - they potentially save me the $99 it would cost me to replace the phone if I were so inclined to trust another apple product. Not worth the hour it took to find them or the 35 minutes on the phone to confirm my suspicions about the data.

iDVD 7.1.2: I am making music instrument instructional DVDs, and I want to include several audio loops that the viewer access from the main menu to play along with
Export the slideshow out of iMovie via the File ➙ Share ➙ File menu option as a 480p Quicktime movie.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

How can I listen to a song from itunes and play along with my guitar on ipad2/apogee jam?
I am trying to utilze my ipad2 for guitar practce but having a hard time getting my technology under control. I have garage band as well as the apogee jam and I can easily hook it in and play, create songs etc. But what I like to do is play along at the same time with songs from my itunes library or from youtube. whenever I switch to another app the recording feed from garage band stops until I return to the app. How do people get around this, if they do?
ThanksNot at this time. iTunes Match downloads all music listened to on iOS devices. Period.

this recently happened, never had the problem before. I've restored my midi keyboard to factory settings but the problem persists. I go into garage band and click on the piano preset, but when I play a note it plays multiple instruments. Say I hit the C note On my keyboard, it plays the C note, but along with it is a snare hit or a shaker. And this is for every note. It seems as though the keyboard has its own setting, but I've tried resetting it. Again it's never happens before, just recently is there a way to get rid of that background sound? It's very dufficu to make music with multiple instruments playing in one note!
If it happens again the make sure that you aren't suppressing website colors.
Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Accessibility settings.

Hot deployment not playing along with coherence-tx.rar
I would like to setup my application so that the coherence and tangosol jars are owned by the application. Under this setup it will aid in hot deployment so that the coherence classloader is destroyed along with the application. Using the transaction services requires that I put the tangosol and coherence jars on the boot classpath of weblogic. I could live with this if there is an easy way to tell coherence to clear all caches that I can call from a startup servlet when my application redeploys.
Is there some other way of setting this up so that hot deployments destroy all caches and coherence-tx.rar can still be utilized?In a development environment where classes can change structure it is more semantically correct to destroy all references to the old class structure otherwise you get IncompatibleClassChangeErrors.
It is also more convenient for us to deploy the application without any external references. It makes setting up a QA server much easier, for example, if we don't have to install coherence and modify classpaths to get it up.
There is nothing special about the architecture just a standard EAR deployment with all 3rdparty classes packaged into the EAR. -
Can i use multiple computers to sync my Iphone with itunes?
Can I use a different computer to sync my Iphone with itunes since my laptop crashed?
No. TM is machine specific and is not ideal for syncing machines. You need syncing software or MobileMe. MobileMe has a 2 month free trial. Oh, cloning software of specific files may work as well depending on what you are syncing.

Windows crashs when playing music with iTunes
Hi,
I have a problem with my iTunes. Since last week my Windows crashes when I start to listen to music over iTunes. I have already tried to re install Windows and have updated all the drivers for my hardware but there has still nothing changed.
When I'm updating my iPod with iTunes there is no problem. It only crashes when I started to listen to music with iTunes. I can still listen to music over other music programs like Winamp.
Can anybody help me?... or does anybody know what the reason could be for that?hi Simon!
I have a problem with my iTunes. Since last week my Windows crashes when I start to listen to music over iTunes.
are you getting a blue screen? if so, what numerical and text codes are you getting with it?
if you don't see a blue screen (or just get a flash of a blue screen), use Jonathan's technique to display any hidden ones:

Keyboard play buttons with iTunes 7
Hi,
I used to use MultiPlugin for iTunes 6 to operate my iTunes controls with the keyboard, however this won't install on iTunes 7. Does anyone have any other way to do this?
Thanks!
JasonYou best bet is to wait abit til there able to "Catch up" and release an update so it does work with iTUnes 7 since iTunes 7 is a major update rewritting alot of its underpinnings
