Voice rather than Music recording

Back again for a new lesson on Mac stuff. I would like to record a Pastoral Sermon and put it on a CD for use by shut-ins and house bound members. The only method available at the moment is from a fixed audio output on the Master Amplifier. Is it possible to pick up audio off of a fixed audio output directly into a laptop running OS10.4.11 using iTunes as the recording software?

iTunes is not a recording tool. It does not have the features you need.
QuickTime Pro will let you record audio and there are other products you can buy.
You can also use GarageBand if you have it.

List CD as a BOOK type rather than MUSIC

I imported a CD into my iTunes library (Mac Mountain Lion OS). The CD is excerpts and meditation exercises from a book I am reading. Just wondering if there is a way to have the CD show up as a BOOK type rather than MUSIC?
Thanks for any help.

Hi,
Select tracks the from file menu select File / Get info / Options and change media type to Audiobook.

Coverflow showing "invisible" album cover rather than "music symbol" cover

I recently noticed that my iPhone is showing a completely invisible album cover instead of the normal music symbol cover in coverflow & regular iPod modes. This is strange as I usually see the music symbol placeholder album cover when browsing the iPod software. With the completely invisble cover, it's hard to notice the album when browsing in coverflow. Is this a known bug?

One thing to try is to find the songs that belong to the album in itunes.
Right click or control click on the each of the songs and go to the artwork tab.
Delete any artwork associated with the song.
Now add the artwork you want associated with the album.
Connect the iphone to the computer.
Use manually manage to remove the album from the iphone.
Then sync the album back to the iphone.
Hope this helps.

Songs appearing up Movies rather than Music

I have songs appearing lately as Movies. I have done the Ctrl-I to fix them and the Media Kind is greyed out although it does show Music... I think this is a glitch with iTunes and need to know how to fix it without deleting the music. Suggestions?
Thanks!!

Try signing out of the store to see if that helps.
Otherwise see Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash and try reverting to a recent version of the library.

Songs sound like they have radio interference rather than music on them.

1. Songs play with the wrong title, some won't play but don't show the "can't locate icon '!'", others sound like they have picked up radio interference or play what sounds like a TV or Radio soap opera.
I've 'repaired', deleted and reinstalled iTunes, to no avail. Whether playing in order or shuffle, when it hits one of these it eventually skips thru to the next good song or closes iTunes.
I have deleted and reinstalled a good many but with 1000s thought there might be an easier way to resolve.
2. This is in a seperate topic but included in case there is any connection: Every time I add a new song or reopen iTunes it goes thru 100+ songs "Determining Gapless Playback Information"!
This uses 100% of a 320gb hard drive with hardly anything on it and takes on average 30 seconds per song = approx 50 mins!
Thx!

ITunes is writing new songs to the download folder rather than the Music folder

I recently added a NAS (Synology) to my home network. The transfer of libraries was simple and fast.
The problem now though is that when i buy a new song in iTunes it writes it to the download folder rather than music folder with .tmp tag.
Any ideas how to fix t?

Now that you know, try deleting through iTunes. If that does not remove the image file, then place the app you mistakenly deleted back in the file folder from your latest backup and try deleting through iTunes again.

Home music recording- is the Mac Pro better for this than an iMac?

I know it seems like a daft question but if you were to recommend a Mac for a DECENT home studio and money were (within reason) nearly no object WHAT Mac would you recommend? I always believed that a good sized desktop would be better than an iMac or a MacBook Pro (which is what I have been using for just a hobby home recording set-up) but is this a myth?
Please advise because the Mac Pro looks SCARY. I mean- the options are vast but what DO I NEED as opposed to want? Thank you kindly for reading.

I guess there is nothing wrong with the set-up except that the MacBook Pro is mine and the musicians need their own as I need mine for work.
Ah, I see. I think an iMac should be sufficient. Just be sure to get more RAM than the stock 1GB. Apple's prices on RAM are pretty severe compared to other vendors, so I'd recommend adding RAM after purchase. If you search the iMac forum for "RAM UK", you should find recommendations on reliable vendors. Don't go with lowest price; there's nothing that can cause you fits with a computer system more than flakey RAM, so you want a vendor with a good reputation for quality. I'd suggest bumping the iMac to the maximum 4GB. As to screen size, I tend to prefer having two screens rather than one big one - you can put palettes on the second monitor - so if it's a choice and desk space is sufficient, consider a 20" iMac and a second 17" or 20" screen to go with it.
If you reckon the interface is enough to do the mic justice and that Logic Express or Pro would do when the musicians know and love Cubase then I am happy to help them learn more Mac-based software and get that instead as it is also cheaper and looks like it would make more sense to ME.
Unless they're wedded to Cubase, I'd think that Logic Express should work quite well. You may all want to take a trip to an Apple reseller and take a look at it.
Unless there is a reason to "upgrade" the interface I guess that is one less item to acquire
An upgrade would seem logical only if the Safire isn't giving the quality you want or there aren't enough inputs.
I'd call your recommendation but I am in the UK and will probably talk to the nice folk at Dolphin Music in Newcastle as that is where I got the interface.
I wasn't sure where you were. If you are located in or near Newcastle-On-Tyne, you can find a list of authorized resellers here, or if you're near Manchester or Sheffield or don't mind taking a paddle down, you can drop by an Apple Store. You can then perhaps preview Logic Express before you decide. You might want to call before you make a special trip just to make sure your dealer can indeed demo LE.
Final recommendation; get really good microphones. Garbage in, garbage out, as they say, and having the right microphone, one that's suited for the instrument that's being recorded, is vital. The Neumann is of course high quality, but if you haven't already purchased, check around. You can find really good mics for less than Neumann charges; unless things have changed, you pay a bit of a premium for their reputation. AKG used to make really good mics, quite well suited for piano and acoustic guitar in particular, and there are no doubt others as well (my knowledge of specific models is rather out of date).
Cheers.

EDIT: P.S. If you can find Mix Magazine or EQ Magazine, those are pretty good reading. Lots of tips, product reviews, etc. Also, you can read a brief review of Logic Express 8 here:

How can I make ringtones show in my Tones tab rather than the Music tab?

I just bought my first iPhone 4 and uploaded a bunch of music ringtone files to iTunes and changed the default preference to display the Tones tab. However, the ringtones all got added to the Music tab rather than the Tones tab. I have a number of questions:
I'm used to other phones where any music file can be set as a ringtone for a particular contact. Is this the case for iPhones too?
If so, how can I set a ringtone for a contact from these music files?
If not, how can I get the ringtones to appear in the Tones tab? I assume that I would have to do that to sync ringtones to my iPhone ringtone "folder".
Is there another alternative? I read on the forum something about dragging ringtone files to the iPhone. Not sure I understood that! Does this mean I can drag a music file from the Music tab to the iPhone icon and have that file end up in the iPhone ringtone "folder"? If it ends up in the Music "folder", how do I access it to set it as a contact ringtone?
Thank you for any light you can shed on this.

It would be good if this was made a user-defined Option (Tools -> Options -> Tabs) in the next update of Firefox rather than having to install an add-on. I currently keep Firefox open to view my Accuweather.com add-on running or because I know that I will be returning to Firefox in short order. (I do close Firefox if I have visited a sensitive or secure site to ensure better security.) Every time I want to go to a bookmark, I must open a new "(Untitled)" tab before selecting my bookmark using the keyboard (I'm a dedicated keystroker; it's much faster for me). This way, when I close the website, I have an "(Untitled)" tab displaying so that Firefox doesn't close. Why can't I set an Option parameter that will result in me not having to go through this? Alternatively, allow users to set an option to keep Firefox loaded and open in the event only one tab is open and maybe if only one Firefox application window is running (I avoid having more than one Firefox window open as much as possible). I've addressed this last issue in the past but have seen no change when one closes the last tab in a Firefox window. As general practice, I would think that Firefox would run better if options, like I have described above, were part of the Firefox application code and not given to needing an add-on which may cause instability in Firefox as they have in the past, even with author verification and certification.

When I view the music on my iPhone in iTunes, how do I view this by album, rather than in a long list of songs?

When I view the music on my iPhone in iTunes, how do I view this by album, rather than in a long list of songs? When I view the music stored on my iMac, I get a choice to view by Songs, Artists, Albums, Composers, etc. But I don't get any choice with the music on my iPhone.
Its really hard to manage the music on my iPhone. I want to quickly remove albums and add new ones.
Is there a solution that I haven't seen?

Create a playlist, add/delete albums and sync this playlist.
You don't need to manually manage the iPhone music to do this.

I have a file where I store my download music. When I click on "add music" to my ipod my music file opens, but rather than have to drag one song at a time to my ipod, how do I copy the entire file at once to my ipod. - steve

Hi - I have a file where I store my downloaded music. When I plug in my ipod and click on "add music" my file appears. Rather than drag one song at a time, how can I download the entire list at once? - steve

I am not doing it in ITunes, but i did down load the song from ITunes. I loaded the song on to my Nano, but in my menu selections it doesn't show the song or the artist in any search format. However, when i plug in my nano to my PC I see the Nano library on my PC drive listings and that song and artist are there. I can click on the song and it will play in Windows media on my work PC. I did notice that the format for most all the songs in my library on my Nano are MPEG - 4 audio Files.
Thanks for your help, Mel

My Iphone 5, was backed up and restored. Music doesn't sync, when reconnecting device each time, it only offers restore or new phone rather than sync option. Can anyone help please?

My IPhone 5, was backed up and restored. Music doesn't sync, when reconnecting device each time, it only offers restore or new phone rather than sync option. I have reinstalled ITunes but still this hasn't worked. Can anyone help please?

This problem started last year when ios 8 was released. I think apple is trying to force users to buy music on iTunes store and that's why it's impossible to sync other music and also that's the reason why they haven't solved this serious problem. That's really disappoints me and i'm angry with apple because i have like 10 gb of music in mp3 and i can't sync music from iTunes to my iPhone.

I have a Ipod shuffle 4th generation. I would like for the music to shut off after one hour long song automatically rather than go to the next song. Is this possible?

Sorry, but it's not. The only way to get this to work is to only put the one hour song on your Shuffle.

When I load itunes it defaults to the store and then I get a Blue Screen. Does anyone know how to change itunes so that it will default to My Music rather than store. I need to be able to do this before I load itunes.

I solved the problem with the assistance of apple support knowledgebase. Refer to TS3441.

How do I play music from a folder or a playlist in a random order, rather than just start to fini

HiCan you help? Seems like a simple thing, but can't figure out how... I want to be able to easily listen to my music that is grouped together, but in a random order rather than start to finish? I can't find anywhere how to do thisThanksGowan

Which player do you have? Most have a play mode such as random or shuffle/shuffle folder which will play in the way you want. PB

In my iTunes I have my music organized into playlists. Before when I synced my iPod to iTunes it exactly duplicated the music / playlists exactly as they appear in my iTunes. Now I have more music than my iPod can hold at once, so I've unchecked some songs within various playlists. The problem is that after I sync my iPod, it has all the checked songs, but they're no longer organized in the playlists. Can something be done to fix this?
Delete some of your songs off of the iPod Nano to make more room.
