Using .wav file format in GarageBand (GB)?

I am importing files from a Zoom H4n recorder in to GB. I am using 4 mic's so the Zoom recorded saves two files, one for one set of mic's and one for the other set of mic's. They are in .wav format. When I import the two files in to GB, they get converted to .aif format. It seems to compress the files since the file size shrinks. For example, the .wav files are 140 MB each. After importing them in to GB, the .aif file is 104 MB. I want to keep the .wav format. Is there a way to do that in GB or do I need another software application that will allow me to edit in .wav and save it in .wav? Thanks.

Which version of GarageBAnd are you using?
When I import .wav files to GarageBand 10.0.3 and open the .band project with ctrl-click > Show Package content, I can see, that the .wav files are stored "as is", in the original format in the Media > Audio Files folder.
But the edited song cannot be bounced as a wav file. You can only export from GarageBAnd as AIFF, MP3, or AAC.

Record audio file in a wav file format using QuickTime 7 Pro for Windows?

Is it possible to record audio file in a wav file format using QuickTime 7 Pro for Windows? The system I want to upload audio files that I record to requires they be in a wav file format / PCM - 112025kh / 8 bit mono / 11.05khz
Something tells me no...and I bought this upgrade for nothing...GRRRRRRR

QuickTime Pro for Windows allows you to make audio recordings from some input devices.
You can then "export" these new files to .wav format at any setting you choose.

Is there the way to use "Highlight File Format" with Acrobat Reader 9.0 or later?

hi
Do anyone know the way to use "Highlight File Format" with Acrobat Reader 9.0 later or substitutional way to highlight a PDF file as well as highlight file?
I want to highlight some words by indicating character's location(from n to m) using Acrobat Reader 6, 7, 8, and 9.
I use highlight xml file to highlight words in Acrobat 6, 7, and 8.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/pdf/pdfs/HighlightFileFormat.pdf
According to this documents, "External Window Handler Plugin" is required to use highlight file.
But I cannot find this plugin in Acrobat Reader 9.
So Acrobat Reader doesn't recognize highlight file.
Well, I know that there is another way to highlight pdf file. It is called "PDF Open Parameters".
However this parameters cannot indicate location of characters but words which is to be searched.
This parameter does not work perfectly to substitute a highlight xml file.
To satisfy what i want to do, the best solution is that Acrobat Reader 9.0 recognizes highlight xml file.
But I think it is impossible because of lack of plugin.
Do anyone know the way to recognize a highlight xml file to 9.0 or another way to highlight some words?
thanks,
Asatamax

The feature is disabled by default in reader 9
(1) Open Adobe Reader
(2) Click Edit > Preferences > Search, and
(3) check the box labelled Enable search highlights from external highlight server.
(response found here: http://support.dtsearch.com/dts0117.htm)
I can't imagine why Adobe choose to disable it. It's a bad joke for us at UNESCO (http://unesdoc.unesco.org)

After updating os to 10.9.1can't open pdf files. I get a message saying It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn't recognise. I can still read older saved files but no new ones arriving by email. Any help would be appreciated.

After updating os to OSX 10.9.1 I can't open any new pdf files. I get a message saying It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognise. I can still read older saved files but no new ones arriving by email. Also can't attach a pdf to an email to send out. Any help would be appreciated.

Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
Step 1
If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to print by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar may appear under the cursor. Click the printer icon.
Step 2
There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
Step 3
If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
and check the box marked
Allow Plug-ins
Then click
Manage Website Settings...
and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
Step 4
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Step 5
The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others — I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
Step 6
Do as in Step 4 with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.

"It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn't recognize."

I have read through all the discussions and I can never seem to find a solution or answer to this that is working for me.
Currently in Spain on vacation, loaded all my photo's into iPhoto to clear my camera, like an idiot I deleted them from my memory card cause I've never had an issue with my Mac.
First I was getting a "no room on Home" message, then I re-open iPhoto and everything is gone, even historical pictures. I tried to rebuild, doesn't work.
I can see some of the photo's on my hard drive still and can open them in Preview, but others when I try I get this "It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize."
I'm still in Spain, wondering if I should re-take really important photo's or chance that this can be fixed by someone who knows what they are doing when I get home.
Dear heaven THANK YOU if you can help me.

If I'm reading this corretly, capacity is 249.72 GB and 165.3 GB is avaliable.
The home message has happened before, however the IT at work managed to fix it, until now.
Thanks again/in advance.

Creating a report using ttx file format

Hello All I have downloaded the professional version of the Crystal Reports for Eclipse. I wanted to know if a report template can be created using a ttx file format and passing recordsets at run time to the reports. If an example can be provided it will be great. I tried to look for the ttx file format in crystal but could not locate the same. Is it available with the professional edition..Any help is highly appreciated.thanks 

Hi,
In CR4E you can mimic the TTX design process using a Java class file and our POJO implementation. Essentially you can make an empty class with a number of publicly defined variables. For example if I created a new class as such:
public classTTX_POJO {
Â Â
public int customer_id;
Â Â public String customer_name;
Now, I can use this class to design a Crystal Report. In the report designer you will see a new table (in this cased called TTX_POJO) with 2 Fields (int and String). This will serve the same purpose as a TTX which is to get the meta-data into the report.
Now at runtime, I can pass in a Resultset which returns the same meta-data, as in the following SQL query:
*"SELECT CUSTOMER_ID,CUSTOMER_NAME FROM APP.CUSTOMER WHERE COUNTRY = 'Australia'" *
Anyway, if you need more information on creating reports off of POJOs you can watch the following video tutorial:

Why doesn't Garage Band use wav files?

I would like to use Garage Band to edit wav files I have, but it won't recognize them - only seems to work with songs I imported from cassette tapes. Why?

Thanks for the suggestion. I do have the option to use Total Recorder in Windows which I also have on my Mac. That is also free and I used it a lot when I had PC. So guess that is the route I will take. Just thought I would see if I could do it in Garage Band as the sound view is bigger than in TR, and also I wouldn't have to switch over to Windows. By the way, does Audacity take up a lot of space on the hard drive? I don't want to clog it up with too much stuff.

Cannot open jpg files in Preview? Error message "may be damaged or use a file format that preview does not recognize".

For some reason I cannot open jpg files from a co-worker who previosuly sent files without any problems. I just bought a MacBook Air with OS X Lion & Preview won't open the files. She sent the same files to another co-worker who opened without any issues? Help! Anyone have any suggestions after having the same or similar problem?

I don't have an answer as to why Preview doesn't want to cooperate, but if you only need to view the jpeg's and do nothing else to them, you can use two FREE applications that come already pre-installed on your Mac... Those are iPhoto and Safari. Just drag and drop over the application icon.
You can also find several FREE photo viewers in the APP STORE.

Can not use or convert wav files

Hi,
Brand new user and have been trying to use wav files on the Ipod. It updates them fine, plays them fine in ITunes, yet in the Ipod it skips over them. All files from CD's are working fine. I tried to convert them to ACC?? and that didn't work either.
I would appreciate any assistance as I try and figure it all out.
Thanks
Mike

Have you tried MP3?
Go to "edit", "preferences", "advanced", "importing". Then click "use error correction when reading audio disks". If this doesn't work, go back through those steps I listed till you get to the importing part of advanced. Then change the "import using" part to MP3. Then try converting the WAV songs to MP3. If this doesn't work. Try importing those cds in MP3.

Why can't one add artwork to music saved as a wave file

i can add scanned artwork to an entry in itunes only if it is saved as an AAC or MP3 file but when i try and save scanned artwork to a wave file, it doesn't afford me that choice.....any reason that would be?

It's the way WAV file formats were designed years ago by Microsoft. It's not just itunes that can't add artwork to the actual file; no jukebox player software can add artwork tags to WAV files.
If you want artwork to display in itunes for WAV files, you can get the artwork from the itunes store if
1) you have an itunes store account
2) that album is sold is your country's itunes store
itunes will store the artwork in some special folders outside of the WAV files, and use the itunes database file (ITL file extension) to find them as needed.
For albums not in the itunes store, you have to do something like this
