Why Can't I Export to Quicktime from Garageband?

Has anyone else experienced this or would know how to fix it...
I created a .mov file from Keynote and brought it into Garageband as a Video Track to sync the music to the Keynote presentation. Now I'm ready to Export to Quicktime from Garageband. When I choose the Export command from the 'Share' menu in Garageband, it runs through two dialog boxes - first "Creating Mixdown" and then "Converting..." - after the second dialog box disappears no Quicktime file is created.
I have tried several things to remedy this, but have had no luck - such as updating to Garageband 3.0.1, running Disk Utility, restarting the computer. I also made sure to check the Preferences in Garageband before exporting.
Can anyone tell me how I can get it to export?
Also, the final Garageband file size is approximately 180MB and the presentation runs approximately 8 minutes. The final file will need to be 'full quality', as it will be shown from a projector at a meeting.
  Mac OS X (10.3.9)   Keynote v3.0.0; Garageband v3.0.1; Dual 1GHz G4; 1.5GB SDRAM

Which export did you use?
Try going into prefs->export, enable the export to disk option.
Than in the Share menu choose export to disk.
Then do a search on the name of your song (in the Finder) and see if it shows up.

    The songs on my iPod Video 5th Gen now, were at one time on my computer, but have since been erased. Why can't I export the songs from my iPod back on to my computer? I have this same problem with my other devices (iPad 3rd Gen and iPod Nano 6th Gen). I am really frustrated now, because it seems as if I have to start all over again. This will be a royal pain in the butt! I don't understand why Apple makes this so hard and impossible to do this. Please help, anybody!!

  • Why can't I export a file from imovie

    I used to be able to export a file from iMovie to my desktop, but now it doesn't work!

    Software Update may have cancelled out your QuickTime PRO license. Did you notice any QuickTime updates when you did the update?
    For instance, I have a PRO key for QuickTime 6.5 that was not valid for QuickTime 7 so I had to buy a new one. My first option was to de-install version 7 and go back to 6.5 for the PRO functionality. But later on, that was no longer a viable option since version 7 was the standard for some things, so I just went and paid the $29.99 for the new PRO key.
    That could be your problem. Since without a PRO key, you don't have those options available under "expert settings."
    I think... (and I've been working heavily with iMovie for years-- never made the jump to Final Cut yet, though have used Motion 2 in addition to iMovie. Works for me. I did get the Studio upgrade, but am waiting to buy a MacBook Pro to use it).

  • Why can't I export using Quicktime Pro to m4v without it being "protected"?

    I have .dv files and want to convert to m4v files but when I upload them to my website they have "(protected)" after the file name and do not allow me to view them online. This happens from any format to the "iPod" (m4v) export. When I try to view them using Safari, the page fills with lots of symbols and Safari gets overwhelmed and crashes.
    I've gone into "info" and can't find anything that seems to protect the file.
    Any ideas on what's going wrong and what to do?
    Thanks.

    I've never gotten a "protected" file when exporting to the iPod .m4v extension.
    Only those purchased from the iTunes Music Store have any DRM protection. If you had some purchased music in your .dv file the export would also be protected. Normally protected files don't even allow export.
    If your file is being displayed as text in a browser window it means you've failed to use the proper html code to call the QuickTime plug-in.

    You may ned to use the qtsrc tag to "force" the QT plug-in be used for playback. Many servers are not configured to use the relatively new .m4v extension.

  • Why can't I export iPhone photos from iPhoto?

    iPhoto recently started crashing whenever I try to export photos that have been imported from my iPhone.
    No problems exporting photos from other cameras, just the iPhone.
    In fact, If I mix photos from several cameras in one Event and try to export them all, the export goes smoothly until it hits the iPhone photo at which point iPhoto crashes.
    Any clue why and/or how to fix this problem?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    FYI.  I'm using iPhoto '09 8.1.2 and OSX 10.9.3.

    the export goes smoothly until it hits the iPhone photo at which point iPhoto crashes.
    Is it just one particuar photo?  Have your photos been edited on the iPhone with iOS 7 effects? HDR photos, panoramic photos?
    and then I export the edited photos to the hard drive on my iMac so I can burn them to a CD.
    Does iPhoto only crash, when you export the photos with "File > Export > Edited" or also, when you export them with "File > Export > Original"?
    If you can export the originals, check, if the photos areo.k. and you can open them in Preview.
      I'm using iPhoto '09 8.1.2 and OSX 10.9.3.
    That is a risky combination. iPhoto 8.1.2 is not fully supported on Mavericks, and probably your current problem is due to the fact, that iPhoto 8.1.2 does not work well withMavericks.  Is there a reason, that you do not want to update to iPhoto 9.5.1 for full compatibility?

  • Why can't I export my pdf from workplaces to my computer?

    Everytime I try to export my pdf document from workspaces to my computer it says that Internet Explorer has stopped working.  But all my other browser windows are working just fine?  I need this done today!!  What is going on??

    Have you tried using another browser (Firefox or Chrome)?  You should be able to download a PDF from Workspaces to your computer.  What version of Internet Explorer are you using?

  • Why can't I email my song from GarageBand? When I click the export button all I get is "send to iTunes"

    i want to email my song out of GarageBand but it isn't allowing me to. When I tap the export button it doesn't show me an option to email. It only shows "send to iTunes" or whatever. Please help.

    It is indeed Mikey.
    I have the exact same issue on my iPad 2. An update was released a couple of weeks ago that integrated this feature as well as a fade-in/out option and some others however when I updated it was the exact same as before!
    Going by other threads about this, the general concensus is - send all your songs to iTunes, delete the app then re-install it again. When it's re-installed just put your tracks back on and you should be good to go. I'm going to try this today after work so I'll let you know how I get on if you don't beat me to it

  • I installed Lion so why can't I get any sound from Quicktime?

    I installed Lion so why can't I get any sound from Quicktime?

    It's been a problem for some time now.  You can drag a photo from the open iPhoto window into the Contact photo bin, i.e. window to window.

  • Re user tip: How can I import a homemade DVD into iMovie for editing? - I've followed instructions so far so good, until I get to "You can then FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec as your video codec. "  How do I do that?

    Re AppleMan 1958 excellent user tip: How can I import a homemade DVD into iMovie for editing? -
    I've followed instructions with success until  "You can then FILE/EXPORT USING QUICKTIME and choose Apple Intermediate Codec as your video codec. "  How do I do that?
    I installed MGEG Streamclip 193b8 and used their utility to install quicktimempeg2 and got a message stating it was successfully installed.  (I'm on latest Maverick 10.9.2 on iMac)  Then I dragged the VIDEO_TS file from my home DVD into the streamclip app.  It asked which of 4 files to use, and I selected the first one.  Streamclip played the video with the sound.  so far so good. but now I cannot figure how to use quicktime player 10.3 to export this vob file out of streamclip.

    Thank you for your quick reply and for clearing up my confusion.  I'm exporting the first section now.  I choose the smallest size, 3x4 but I'd prefer to go higher as this DVD was originally a VHS home movie.  I'm wondering if after three conversions (VHS,->DVD->MPEG) the resolution will be so poor as to not support a larger size frame?  If it can, what size should I select when I export? 

  • Why can't i export with OR without taking language into consideration ?

    Why can't i export with OR without taking language into consideration ?
    I'm from Denmark  and I need it just to convert into TXT with OCR with out looking af the language.

    You can't do OCR without knowledge of the language, because a crucial part of OCR is spell checking to test the possible text  extraction. Well, you could try claiming the language is English, but the result may be unhappy.

    Assuming Windows...
    You can, assuming you select around the pixels you want to copy, and the selected region isn't too large.
    There are a variety of ways you can get the copy operation wrong, e.g., by not having the proper layer selected or similar.
    And there's a secret setting to enable Photoshop to export its clipboard no matter how large the selected pixel set is.  Note the setting I have bolded below.  Keep in mind that by making this setting you may be subjecting all the software on your computer that registers to receive clipboard data to datasets that are larger than it might expect.  In other words, there could be a downside.  That being said, I haven't had any problems on my Windows 8 system.

  • Why can't I print a pdf from my mac pro to my printer?

    why can't I print a pdf from my mac pro to my printer?

    Don't know! You'll have to give us more details of what's happening when you try. Can you print other documents OK? When you try to print, does the printer icon appear in the dock - click on it and see if there are any printer messages.
