Why can't I record duration as hh:mm in numbers 3.0.1?

I'm trying to record the durations of different events in a spreadseet.
I format the cells to Duration -> Custom Units -> hr and min -> Style: 0:00
Yet when I type "0:35" to record 35 minutes, I get "0:01" and in the tab on the bottom it says "Actual: 0:00.583"
What is going on here?
Why can't i just enter the duration i want in the style I specified? Why is it trying to convert this to a decimanl when I told it specifically not to?
Please help.

Hi ilb,
The example below was constructed in Numbers '09, and shows the format for cells in column B, set in the Inspector. All values in column B were entered directly using nn:nn, with one or more digits before the colon and two digits after the colon in each case.
Cells in columns C and D contain the formula =B. Column C is set to Automatic, and adopts the units of the values in column B, but the default 0h 00m dispay for those units. Column D format has been set to include weeks, days, hours and minutes, and to display these in the same manner as column B.
Setting the formats in Numbers 3 is done slightly differently, and that version may not support setting the formats you want. Wait for details from one of the N3 users on those differences.
Regards,
Barry

Why can't I record a new track?

Hi. I'm getting reacquainted with the new Garageband and laid down an acoustic mandolin track. Now I want to lay down an acoustic guitar track. But no matter where I click to activate the new acoustic track, the recording seems to go OVER the mandolin track (which I also can't hear). Why can't I record a new track where the guitar is indicated, and why can't I hear the mando as I do this? In the previous version of garageband this was straightforward. Thanks, david

We need to know more details.
Have you set the "Record enable" button in the track header? (Track > Track Header > Show Record enable). Which track is enabled for recording?
Have you set an input in the Smart Controls > Info pane for the track?
Also:
What kind of track did you use? An Audio Track? A Guitar Track?
Did you create the Guitar track by duplicating the Mandolin track? Then Crate a new track for your guitar from scratch. Dplicating tracks will link them.

Why can't I record calls with the iPhone?

Hi,
Why can't I record calls with the iPhone? Every other mobile can! That's quite pitty ...!

Nonsense. There are many places where you are not allowed to take photos or video but those functions are included. Apple assumes no responsibility for them. Apple would not be responsible for managing the recordings on the phone either. It's most likely because Apple is located in California and in THAT particular state, both parties have to be informed of the recording. Most states do not require that. If Apple were located in another state (e.g. Alaska) there would be no restriction.
All the apps that record calls store those recordings in their servers and charge you a fee. It would be preferable to have the calls stored only on the phone so no one else could access them. The iPhone has the technological capability; we have just been restricted from having this functionality without paying a 3rd party.

In Garageband 10.0.1, why can't I record over an existing track "on the fly"?

If I have a track that has a mistake on it, in the older version, I could play the song and just hit the record button when I wanted to record over the mistake on that same track. It was really useful. Now I can't seem to do that. Help?!?

First, let me say that the new iMovie 10.0.1 is utterly frustrating! It is so much less user friendly than iMovie 9. I liked having all the tools in my face with the old version. Now I have to spend an hour just finding things and learning how to do things all over again.
You'll find you still have iMovie version 9 in your Applications folder. Why not keep using it?
My concern is that I'm done editing for today and I want to quit the app. In version 9, all I had to do was quit and everything was automatically saved. Now, iMove 10 says "Are you sure you want to quit? Tasks that are currently in progress will not be completed." What tasks? I'm certain I did everything "by the book".
iMoive is completing rendering or some other task that it does in the background. It does work in the background so that you can keep working and not have to wait for it.
Also, I couldn't find the option to export to iDVD. Is this a thing of the past now? Do I have to save the file first and then drag the file to iDVD to burn? There seems to be extra steps involved now.
Yes. It is a thing of the past as far as Apple is concerned.

Why can't I record over 1:16 in Garage Band?

I'm recording and editing a few loops I had in mind and as soon as I put everything together, I tried to extend the loops to make it into a track, but the farthest I can edit and/or record my track is 1:16, it doesn't notify me about anything. Why is that?

Is the end of song marker or cycle regions set to 1:16?

Why can't I record certain blending options using actions?

I'm trying to make some recordings/actions, which I've done alot before, but I can't get all of my blending options to record. Specifically the curves to my bevel & emboss and my contour....after playing the action, it will apply the DEFAULT bevel and won't remember any of my gloss contour settings. Can anyone explain why?
I also have a second question someone might know... I'm trying to make these actions universal, however when I select a layer to modify, it records the name of the layer I click on...so if i use the recording later on a different file and it doesn't have that same layer name, then the action won't work... is there some way around this?

It sounds like your recording adding layer styles. IMO is is not possible to record universal layer style Actions for layer style setting are absolute pixel values. To automate universal layer styles you would need a script where you can use logic to retrieve sizes and resolution so you can set the approbate layer style setting. When it come to actions you best off recording layer style for actions that deal with a particular document size. Like web size documents or for print size documents etc. Layer style can be scaled with menu options and image size check box. Sill Actions can not retrieve information about document to know how to scale layer styles.
When it come to layers better actions will reference layers in a relative manner rather then by name. You can select layers in a relative way like bottom top forward backward. You can also move layer in the layer stack in a relative manner. So you can add a layer it will be the current Photoshop target somewhere in the layer stack then you can move it to the top of the stack, know where it is. When you add an additional layer they will be on top and you can move it relative to the previous top you just added for you know its relative position.

Why can't i record sound on video?

I was recording a video and when I went to listen to it there was no sound. Doesd anyone know why I can't record sound? Voice memo works though.

Hello, Bonnieandeddie.
Thank you for the question. I'm assuming you are not receiving any sound from third-party applications when playing video/audio content. If this is the case, the first thing I would check is if the side switch is set to silent as this can cause applications to be mute. Below I have included an article that covers adjusting the settings for the side switch. Also, make sure to close all applications in Multitasking and power cycle the device. Test the sound issue after processing these steps.

Why can I only record 2 tracks at a time ?

Until a couple of months ago I could record 10 tracks at once without a hitch. Then something happened and suddenly I could only record 4 tracks at a time. Now I can only record 2 tracks at once. My logic is completely legal and I'm running a Mac Book pro 2.4 Ghz core 2 duo, 2 GB.
I posted this same questions a couple of months ago without any reply.
I desperatly need help.
Best regards
Kristjan

Not RAM related.
Record tracks have to be set for individual inputs.
If all your tracks are set to record on inputs 1-2 or Mono 1, Mono 2 you will only have two inputs.
Make sure Universal Track Mode IS selected in Preferences/Audio and that you indeed have the correct audio driver selected. Now go to your tracks and see how many inputs you have available. If you're recording mono tracks set audio tracks 1 and 2 to record using inputs 1 and 2, Audio tracks 3 and 4 to use inputs 3 and 4, stereo tracks will use both inputs.

Why can't I record more than 8 bars

This is so basic that its not covered in the help. My first attempt to use Garageband on the iphone was to record some conversation and it stops at 8 bars (about 16 seconds). I can't get it to record beyond this default limit. How do I get it to just keep recording?
Sorry, I just got it working but can't delete this post.

Go to setting by tapping the cog in the top right corner of the screen while in the main view of your recorded tracks. From the settings menu, go to Sections and you can make sections for your song to easily distinguish between different "sections" of your song. These sections' lengths can be edited with the blue arrow next to the Section A tab, and you can add more by clicking Add at the bottom right after scrolling down.
I STRONGLY RECOMMEND NOT USING SECTIONS because once you make a section and set its length, and then fill it up with one or more recordings or tracks, if you change the length forward or backward, it will cut off the following or previous sections. Basically, it's set in stone (unless you want to lose some of your recordings) once you set the length. I just make Section A 150 bars and lengthen it once I fill that part of it up.
Hope this helps!

Why can I not record bt sports?

Tried to record football yesterday but the record button was not recognised. Light flashing on remote control but would not record on box. When looking at "info" there was no details of the game being shown in either bt sports 1 or 2. Any idea why this problem happened?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Sounds like your EPG hasn't updated. Go into the TV guide and press the red button on your remote, wait for a few minutes and the EPG should rebuild.

Why can't I record through my Tasam US-122?

I know that people have posted various questions regarding similar issues, but still ...
The Tascam US-122 L is connected via a powered hub to the iMac i7. I did a software and hardware update prior to connecting it to the computer. Garage Band recognizes it, and yet I cannot record anything through the mic. The Tascam US-122 L shows in "MIDI Studio", but when I double-click on it to see the set-up, port etc. all options are grayed out, no changes possible (is that normal?). It does not show as an audio device neither in the Audio MIDI Configuration window nor in System Preferences.
All of this works fine on my old G5 running 10.5.8
Any ideas?

when you say earpiece, do you mean the reciever on the phone used during a normal call?

Why can't I record in 96.000 khz sample rate ?

I am running Logic Pro 9.1.7 (1700.57) (32-bit). My computer is Mac OS 10.6.8. I am using a Duet Apogee
I have always recorded in 44.100 khz, but now someone has asked me to record in 96.000 khz. Everything is fine until I change the sample rate in Logic. Then I get a tinny, distorted sound, and this is for any audio I play through my computer, not just the track that's in Logoc. Is there a way out of this ?
Thanks

You own the hardware and don't know how to use it?
Didn't you install some software for the Duet? Somewhere on your system will be a software applet that let's you change settings on the Duet.
I just took a quick look online.. the "Maestro software Mixer Applet". Try looking in Applications or Utilities.
Need to read up about what you're using. Do not change Duet settings with Logic running.
I don't own a Duet but all of this stuff works basically the same.
