Voice too fast after import: iTunes to Garageband

Hi I searched the forum but could not find a solution.
I recently recorded my first podcast. Here are the specs:
RECORDING
I connected the phone to iPod via a mini jack to the top of a Griffin recorder.
I recorded the interview.
Connected the iPod to my MAC.
Voice recording synced up nicely with iTunes
It plays perfectly on iTunes.
GARAGEBAND
I then open a new podcast project with GarageBand.
I find my interview via the media browser in my iTunes Library.
I then played it again to make sure it is OK
Then I drag it to my Male Voice in Garageband...
PROBLEM
The voice plays like if it is mikey mouse speaking on adrenalin
The recording is 23:20mins long but after import it is condensed to 4:13mins
What do I do? Your help is really appreciated.
Cheers,
Rick

Hi Rick,
This happened to me as well. It has to do with the audio sampling rate not matching between the ipod recorder and garageband. The solution I came to, was to use quicktime to convert the audio before importing it into Garageband. I'm not sure whether it takes QT Pro to do this or not, I have QT pro so didn't think about it.
I use "Sound to .wav" and I had to play around a bit with the settings to get it to work. I think upping the sampling/bit rate to 44,100 is what did the trick, though I am answering this from memory so not completely sure, you may need to fiddle with it a bit.
Don't know whether the Griffin has software which allows you to vary the sample rate in the original recording. My recorder does not, so I have to convert.
Good Luck!
- Erin

What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue? Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?
What happens if you try to reset the device with it still connected to the PC?

Has this iPod ever worked on this PC or is this the first time you have time you have tried connecting it?
Have you carefully worked through each and every single suggestion in this Apple support document?

Why battery is dying too fast after iso5.01 upgrade

why battery is dying too fast after iso5.01 upgrade, It is dying on an average of 13% every hour and a half, in sleep mode. I've tried hard restart and restore in I tunes, no difference! It got worse after I upgraded to 5.01. This has to fixed If I dont use the phone it will need a full charge by noon.

Do a forum search and try some of the suggestions there before starting a whole new thread about battery issues.

A bug? Photoshop Action Playback is too fast after CS5-CS6 upgrade!! My action wont work

On a PC
I upgraded from CS5 to CS6 (cloud) over the long weekend and I'm now faced with a massive headache. The process actions I use intensively for my work are all foxed by the simple problem that the action playback is going too fast for scripting over two documents to keep up. I have tried everything I can think of but the only thing that allows the action to progress sensibly (as in previous versions of the software) is the step-by-step playback mode. This is too slow to use on an ongoing basis.
The problem is caused by the following sequence
Save as document (on desktop)
Open as document - open as Camera Raw - after settings open in Photoshop
Select All
Copy
Close - saving no
(PS automatically selects previous document)
++++ paste ++++ ERROR Paste command is not currently available
This is where Photoshop should select the previous/underlying document before applying the Paste command. Since the upgrade its been trying to paste the clipboard in the split second after closing and selecting the previous document, and reporting no document available at all. Slowing or pausing the playback with step by step or stop&continue works around the problem but causes workflow to slow down drastically.
Is there a way to script a pause during this one crucial moment? Or is there a preference setting I have overlooked that is casing the behaviour?

Save as - open as camera raw - select all- copy - close - paste. The dance is the ony way I can apply Camera Raw settings such as clarity, noise reduction etc to my retouch after the initial raw conversion. Its a well used technique that I've known about for years. Loads of people use this method in CS6, but for some reason I can'y get it to work after the upgrade.
The action is recorded in the regular record/play type action script. Its a big action and would take many hours to convert into javascript (even if I had the skills). I could possibly use the script recorder plugin but that rules out future tweaks without rewriting everything from scratch. app.refresh and $.sleep sound interesting though... is it possible to incorporate them into the basic action script?

Duplicate after importing iTunes from old to new system

Justy upraded to a MacBookPro and moved my iTunes library (media + playlist) from old windows notebook. After importing I have duplicates songs and playlist. I followed the instructions provided on this forum for exporting/importing only the media files and playlist. My library is very large and removing individual songs/playlist would be time comsuming. Anotyher twisty is some songs are he same but with a different artist. Any suggestions. Koyangie

If you are a resident of the U.S. and have iTunes 10.3 or later installed on the new computer, you can re download your iTunes purchases for free without having to import.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Make sure and use the same Apple ID as on the prior computer.
On the new computer, launch iTunes. From the menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer before trying re download your purchases.

LR2.3 images too bright after import even with flat or no development opt. checked

Hi, was always experiencing too dark prints from LR in different version (currently I have 2.3 installed), done all screen calibrations whatsoever, and now that I tried to get to the bottom of the issue, I found that LR seems to brigten up images even though no processing option is welcome nor checked at all. Did some research with a particular image that exhibited a difference in brightness in comparision with CS4 (on a different PC) and PSE5 o nthe same machine of estimated 2EV. Upon correction in LR however, colors and the histogram already got distorted, so no real option here. How can I tell LR to import stuff exactly as it was shot? Any hint is greatly appreciated.
I'm not suppying any attachment to illustrate the issue now as I hope it is known (although during my recent reaseach in the internet, I only found a singly reference, that dind' help much further...).
Thanks, Kai

In the menu bar go to
Edit>Preferences>Presets> tab>Default Settings>
make sure "Apply auto tone adjustments is not checked."

Fan runs too fast after SMC update

About a week ago I updated the SMC of my Macbook 7.1 (mid 2010).
I even leaved it sometime (days or weeks) on the list of software updates without installing, as it said I should not touch until it was done and it was to fix some compatibility with hardware that I don't have. So I did it at a time I would not do anything.
Since then, the fan began to work at full speed almost permanently, sometimes it slows down to normal operation (really normal, increase rotation when the device heats up, slow down to 2k rpm when it is cold).
I have formated the HD twice, because I tought that had done something wrong, but the problem persisted, so I used the hardware diagnostics and found two error numbers, one for the fast run:
4SNS/1/40000001:TN1D - - 110.00
And another for the extensive test:
4SNS/1/40000001:TN1D - - 1.000
I searched these numbers but the results are not good nor precise, peaple said it's related to thermal detector or the logic board permanently damaged.
My current SMC version (after the update) is 1.60f6
I don't know the old version of SMC.
I installed iStat PRO widget, from where I can see that all thermometers are operating normally (these must be the source of the control of the fan) and the fan running at 6,200 rpm.
I even tried to install Fan Control system pref component, but it can only increase the commanded speed of the fan at any time, never decrease.
I also tried to reset SMC as said in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964 , sugested in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1306035
Is there a way to roll back to the old SMC version?
Or to install some program to overwrite the wrong control?
Thank you.

you need to bring it to an Apple store or AASP to have it properly diagnosed. Only Apple certified technicians have access to what those diagnostic codes mean.

AVCHD 25p plays to fast after import????

I have just moved from a Panasonic sd5 to the sd9 and I shot a load of film using the 25p cinema mode. I had no problem with the previous cam using the normal HD setting, the sound is correct but the film runs to fast. Any ideas? is there anything i have to do or will I have to take the footage to FCP?
Cheers all

hey there boarddude,
iMovie is made to take DV, HDV & AVCHD @ standard frame rates: DV 30fps(USA), HDV 1280 x 720p 30fps(USA) or 1920 x 1080i @ 30fps(USA), AVCHD 1920 x 1080i @ 30fps(USA). variable film rates such as 25fps/24fps are a no go in iMovie or FCE. 25fps is the rate for film & generally used by pro shooters/cams in order to more easily facilitate an ultimate output to celluloid film like 35mm.
you'll need to got to FCS--might find on eBay or FCS2.
good luck.

Incorrect song list after import from CD

After importing, iTunes showed an incorrect songlist -- a different CD from the same artist. I manually corrected all the song titles.
It also will not get the album artwork, even though the CD is in the iTunes store for purchase - why won't it import the album in the coverflow mode?

Hi Mom-o-Val.
Welcome to the Apple Disscussion Boards!
There could be more than a couple reasons why iTunes is pulling the wrong info for your CD.
Could you tell me what CD it is?

Cannot play after importing library

Some time ago I changed my Apple id from X to Y. Then:
1. Backed up all of iTunes library to an external hard-drive from MacBook Pro using rsync.
2. Imported all of iTunes library into Windows iTunes from the hard-drive using File->Add Folder to Library.
3. Double-clicked purchased track and was prompted for my Apple id and password. Put in Y and the password.
4. Got dialog saying the machine was now authorized to play the track.
Repeated step 3. Got step 4.
Steps 3 and 4 repeat infinitely now.
These tracks will not sync to my iPod.
Anyone know how make iTunes friggin work properly here?
Thanks,

"Still"? It wasn't playing before?
What did you do to make it stop playing?
Where is the disconnect in these instructions that state your music should be easily transferred when in fact it is not at all?
Exactly which instruction are you referring to?

The link above does not mention anything about importing. What did you import?

Can't burn disc via iTunes. Burn speed too fast. AGAIN!

"iTunes can't burn this CD because the burn speed is too fast for your CD burner or media. Choose a lower speed in the burning pane of iTunes Preferences then try burning again".
I have been having on going problems burning CD’s in iTunes for YEARS, and I know I am not the only one. I get the error message above. Having checked the forum at the time, and posted for help, I am know there is no real solution except to change brand of disc.
Thing is, now I can’t get ANY brands to work. I’ve been through Verbatim, Maxell, JVC, Sony, but none work. The only brand that would work were TDK audios which I can no longer find anywhere.
I know its not the burner, as Toast works fine, and I know I am not alone. Anyone got any ideas?
Even after years Apple seem to be blanking this question. It’s very frustrating not being able to burn my purchased itunes downloads to disc.

To anyone who is interested I think I may have found a possible solution. When you put a blank disc in the drive, wait about 30-60 seconds or so for it to stop spinning before burning.
This seems to work. It's a bit sticky but eventually works. I tried both TDK & Maxwell discs and 9 out of 11 worked. Absolutely no reason why the other 2 didn't, but it's a lot better than none.

Imported video is way too fast!

i'm using iMovie for the first time and I've been noticing all day that the video files I imported seem a little too fast. I compared them to the original videos, and guess what- the sound is sped up too! all the voices are a little too high-pitched and the video is a little too fast. At least the sound is in synch. But everyone sounds a little Chipmunky.
I have no idea what the frame rate for the original video files are, so I don't know how to fix it.
Someone please help! This is driving me nuts!

Hi honeybadgers
If you click on a clip and bring up the inspector for clip/video/audio, the third section has "Speed" control where you can slow down or speed up the clip. Slow the speed of the clip and the sound should become right too.
Good luck

Itunes does not play after importing into timeline

I have looked at similar topics in this discussion forum but still unable to get the answers.Basically the problem is that after importing (purchased) itunes(6) music(and it imports OK)there is no music when played back in the time line.In the imovie palette (audio view) the itunes music plays normally.CD is also greyed out even if there is a CD in the CD drive,so obviously CD tracks cannot be played.Itunes 'by itself' plays normally and CD is also recognised.Voice overs thru microphone,original audio from footage also plays normally.All boxes ticked on the right/computer volume set to high etc so setting seems allright.I am using formac studio to import analogue footage and can hear the original sound when importing.Using imovie 3.03 on ibook.this may/maynot be relevant-on the G3 imac in imovie(3.03)the itunes/CD tracks imports and plays on the timeline,however the original footage soundtrack sounds like gunfire from a machine gun.It is normal with the imported itunes soundtrack switched off.
Grateful for any thoughts/adv

Hi rav - are you sure that if you have a CD installed you cannot see its tracks in the Audio Pane? Even though 'Audio CD' is greyed out, the contents of the CD are still there and accessible.
Can you convert the track to mp3 format? iMovie does accept mp3s. Doing so might break the deadlock.
Sorry, I can't help with your other audio issue.

is there an EASY way to submit podcasts to the itunes store? i've tried creating podcasts in garageband, then somewhere after wordpress itunes doesn't recognize the feed.
my process has been (i am open to suggestions for other free and EASY services/methods):
garageband : create & edit audio. add 1400x1400 image.
share to itunes.
drag file to desktop.
upload .m4a file to google drive.
create a link post in wordpress using "podcast" tag & create "podcast" category.
click on "entries rss" in wordpress, which takes me to the rss subscribe page (which is basically just my wordpress address with "/feed" at the end.
i copy this url.
go to itunes store > then "submit a podcast"
itunes gives me the error message "we had difficulty downloading episodes from your feed."
when i try to subscribe to my podcast in itunes, it does, but gives me no episodes available.
i went back into wordpress and changed settings/ reading settings to : "full text" from "summary"
still the same error message.
i added a feedburner step after wordpress but got the same errors. i don't think i should have to add feedburner.
wordpress seems to be encapsulating the rss, what am i doing wrong?
this so much easier when you could go directly from garage band to iweb to mobileme; i miss those apple days (also idisk).

if anyone has a super EASY process, i would LOVE to know what it is. EASY, meaning no html and also free. there are many free online storage systems available, many of which i currently use. the above process was just me trying to figure it out, if you have an easier method, please share. thank you so much!
