Why do I lose my midi tracks when exporting a song to iTunes from GarageBand?

I have been using GarageBand for many years and have never had any real problems--it has always delivered. Recently, though, I finished a track that I wanted to share online, so I tried to get it into MP3 format via iTunes. After listening to it in iTunes, I noticed that none of the midi tracks were there. I tried exporting it again at a higher quality, then in a different format (AAC), and every time, I ended up with a track lacking all midi parts. Does anyone know why that would be or, more importantly, how to fix this problem? Many thanks!

I received the following response from email support:
The reason you saw an amount higher than what was actually in your account may be due to your account information not being updated. This can happen, for example, when you use multiple computers to make iTunes Store purchases. You can refresh your account information at any time, which will in turn update the store credit amount iTunes displays next to your account name. To do this, sign out of the iTunes Store and then sign in again.
It seems that the balance itunes is originally reporting should not be there and it is refreshed (and removed) once the new balance is added.
It's kind of unfortunate that the itunes store can't properly track an account balance (especially since I only use 1 computer for my account), but that's your answer. Hopefully Apple will get around to correcting this in the future, as it's pretty frustrating.

Why is my wish list not updating when I add songs through iTunes Radio?

Wish list is not updating.

Count me in the same boat. I'm an iTunes Match customer. While listening to iTunes Radio I push the star and then choose to add to wish list except it never adds. Doing the same function on my Mac works fine.
I found a note from Apple that stated you can only add "albums" to your wish list on iOS 7, not songs. That then begs the question....why add functionality that is purposefully intended to add songs in your own UI????

this question is extremely broad. can you describe what you mean? where does the password show up? in the signature line? as the subject? in the body? and what internet password? your home provider? your cell provider? what's the password for? your email account? or is your phone password protected? details.

Why does the album artwork appear only when the first song is playing only?

Hello ckuan. Thx for your reply.
The songs are not from iTunes, they are from CDs that I had copied to my itunes library.
It is worth mentioning that I wasn't facing this issue before IOS 5.

I want to join the cd tracks when importing my discs into itunes

I have always joined my tracks when putting audio books into itunes. Then, yesterday I put the first disc of a book in but could not get the option up when I came to add disc 2. I figured it was a faulty disc and tried another book but nothing works.
Previously I have inserted a disc highlighted all the tracks & then chosen join tracks from the advanced tab. Now everything highlights but the required join tracks option remains stubbornly unavailable. I uninstalled & re-installed itunes but that hasn't made any difference.
Please can anyione help - I forsee a life of re-naming audio tracks so that the stay together on my ipod!

The only way iTunes can join tracks is when it is ripping from physical CD.
Once the CD is ripped, you can use 3rd party software to join the tracks (i.e. an audio editor), but it may be easier to start over again from the CD.

Sometimes when I play songs in Itunes by double clicking on them, Itunes will place the song as the first one on the album. It will chnage the order of the songs on the album, and I can not switch them back to the correct order.

Sometimes when I play songs in Itunes by double clicking on them, Itunes will place the song as the first one on the album. It will chnage the order of the songs on the album, and I can not switch them back to the correct order. This onloy seems to happen when I double-click on the song to play it in itunes. If I just hit play, this doesnt happen. As a result, I have several albums now in which the songs are in the wrong order. Its very frustrating, as this error then transfers over to my ipod every time I sync it. When I choose the info. for the songs, it has them correctly listed (i.e., it lists the songs as being #1 of 19 on the CD, for example). But then the song will have placed by Itunes as #5 of 19 for whatever reason. Itunes does not do this every time, but does it with enough frequency to be maddening. Any thoughts?

The problem of tracks becoming de-linked between iTunes and the music files in your iTunes music folder happens for different reasons - this seems to come up fairly commonly in this forum.
The solution can be to locate each song in the iTunes library, as you mentioned - or, but wait, before I get to that...
trouble finding the original track in your iTunes music folder? maybe look for it under compilations, or if not using the 'group compilations preference' then look in the folder under the songs artist name, but what song artist name iTunes uses depends on what you have in the metedata tag spot for album artist or song artist. Any varyation in artist name spelling, in the menu item 'get info' metadata for any selected individual track will cause iTunes to create that as a separate artist folder in the library, even names like 'various' or any difference at all (even the word 'the' can change where in your iTunes music folder a track gets placed by iTunes). You can try to use the finder function of find file (finder munu item outside of iTunes) to locate hard to find items.
Back to how to re-link any de-linked tracks .
There may be scripts that can help re-link de-linked music files - or, at least provide you a list of such files, Scripts are easy to install and use...
at Dougs Scripts, there is one called iTunes Track CPR that might work
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=itunestrackcpr
or, if you just want a list of de-linked tracks, go to
http://dougscripts.com/itunes/
and find the script called List MIA's, this will create a text file listing all de-linked tracks

Hi, when I upload music into itunes from a cd it sometimes appears in itunes as two different albums and split up the music in 2 or even three albums....how can i merge these albums...this is particularly true when one album may have different composers?

Generally setting a common Album title and Album Artist will fix things.
For compilations that aren't, select all tracks, Get Info, and on the option tab set Part of a Compilation to No. If it already says No tick the box alongside, then click OK.
For deeper problems see Grouping tracks into albums.

Volume level isn't reflected when I save song in itunes

Ever since I got the '08 garageband version and leopard 10.5 for my mac, I haven't had any success with saving my garageband creations at the volume level I want it. In the old garageband, when I adjusted the volume next to the track length, or the master volume, and exported the song to itunes, this level would be reflected. Now, every song I export is at the same volume regardless of what I do. I've messed with settings, the format that I export it (mp3 etc) to no avail. This happens with songs I created in the old garageband and the new ones I've made. Does anybody know what I could do?

When I try to open iTunes from my PC, I get a message "aps daemon.exe MSVCR80.dll not found reinstall"
I have redownloaded iTunes and still get the same message. It has to do with my Windows Vista in some way? I cannot sync my iPad2, iOS 7.0.4 with my PC.
Can anyone help me? I don't want to lose the thousand and one things I've bought.

Uninstall your existing copy of iTunes. Delete any copies of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer files from your downloads areas for your web browsers and download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
(The current build of the 11.1.4.62 installer was changed a few days ago, which fixed the bulk of the reports of MSVCR80.dll/R6034/APSDaemon.exe/Error-7/AMDS-could-not-start trouble ... but the build number on the installer was not changed. So we're trying to make sure you do the reinstall using a "new good" 11.1.4.62 installer instead of an "old bad".)
Does the install with the new copy of the installer go through properly? If so, does that clear up the error message?
If you still have the same error messages cropping up, then try the procedures from the following user tip:

When I purchase music through iTunes from my MacBook Pro, my iPhone 4 iTunes app cannot detect those purchase to allow them to download to my phone. If I open up the iTunes app and select "purchased > music > not on this iphone" it tells me "All of your available music has been downloaded to this device." However, my purchases are not yet downloaded to the iphone and not available to download. If I go to "purchased > music > all > recent purchases" it will show me the purchases that were most recent the last time I synced my phone, but not the purchases since then.
Any thoughts on how I can remedy this and make all of my purchased music available on my phone without requiring syncing?

So I have been searching the iStore for Airplay and I find lots of information about what it is, but nothing about how much it costs, how/where to buy it, etc.?
Fortunately, AirPlay does not cost anything as it is a streaming protocol used by Apple. Currently, the AirPort Express and Apple TV are AirPlay-ready. A number of other companies, like JBL, iHome, Denon and Klipsch are also rumored to be working on AirPlay versions of their products.
Your other option would be to get an AirPort Express and connect it to your Onkyo analog or optical digital audio input and stream from iTunes that way. I currently do this with my 10+ year old Harmon Kardon HT receiver.

I have about 800 more songs on my nano than itunes, due to a crash. How can I get the songs onto itunes from the ipod, or at least get the new music ive gotten since the crash onto my ipod without deleting all the other songs when it syncs?

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion. Use your backup copy to put everything back.
