Why doesn't my "cut" audio file work?

I tried to import an audio track to Garageband but it's a protected AAC file (purchased from iTunes) so it won't let me do it. I then tried to convert it but, of course, couldn't. Then I found this neat little thing where I can change when the song begins to play - in the information section for the song. I changed the start time and when I play it in iTunes, works perfectly. When I put it in one of my iDVD menus, the change I made doesn't work.
I'm trying to "cut" the beginning of the song so it starts playing where I want it to.
Anyone? Thanks

Since you purchased the song and are using it for your own personal use, the workaround is to put it in a playlist and burn the playlist to disc from iTunes. That version of the song is more useful.

HT3775 Why doesn't QuickTime play audio for some avi videos?

Why doesn't QuickTime play audio for some avi videos? Is there a download to help resovle this.
I am running Mountain Lion, I have also installed flipformac, divx, and vlc. They are working fine.
Appreciate your answers.

You can only use QuickTime Player 7 to play that 12 year old format.

Why doesn't Skype Click-to-call work on Windows 8.1?

Why doesn't Skype click-to-call work anymore? I upgraded to Windows 8.1, and now when I click on a highlighted phone number it asks "Which app should I use" or some such microsoft text. But no application is listed. Apparently it does not work from within Firefox (I have the latest version). And I can no longer find a Skype Click to Call application or extension in Firefox. Do I need to use another browser or is there a fix for this?

Hey ran
Sorry to hear you are having probloms
I currently have skype click to call installed with firefox and windows 8.1 up to date. I would advise you to re-install skype and its click to call addon and see where it gets you
hope this helps

Why doesn't apple have a file of events that ties to the iCal program and the Address book file? By having that relationship it seems that you could call up all of the events tied to a customer while in the address book or likewise call up all of the events tied to a contact that was in the iCal program as a scheduled meeting. Even in the to do's you could easily look back at the events tied to an individual so as to bring yourself up to speed with what you were doing with the individual in mind.

I definitely understand your concern and I apologize for all the frustration. Verizon Wireless has a strong customer commitment to delivering the best from our service and staff. I am disappointed to hear the service you received did not reflect this commitment.
I definitely want to help get to the bottom of this and further assist you. Please reply to my direct message so I can access your account and further assist. I am sure we can get this resolved.

Why doesn't iPhone store audio clips that you download from say whatapp like it does with photos and videos?

Why doesn't iPhone store audio clips that you download from say whatapp like it does with pictures and video?

Because you can't add content, to any iPhone, that way. Done by design.

Why doesn't facetime on iphone 4 work without wifi with straight talk?

why doesn't facetime on iphone 4 work without wifi with straight talk when other networks can?

Hardware requirements of the iphone 4 do not meet the specifications needed for FaceTime over cellular data.
4S and up do not require wifi for FaceTime.

Safari doesn't show iweb audio files - help

Hi
Just created my first iWeb site and it has a page with 1 minute samples of music. I tested these with Firefox and Safari both before and after publishing to the web and all seemed OK. When I tried today, Safari doesn't display the files at all whereas Firefox works fine.
Any clues?
Thanks

Thanks for quick feedback -
Curiouser and curiouser ......
I now find that the browsers on my iMac (Firefox and Safari) both show/play the audio samples on http://www.smoothnoodles.co.uk/smoothnoodles/Samples.html, whereas on my MacBook Pro, only Firefox does. Safari doesn't even display the files
Is there some setting in Safari that determines whether certain file types are loaded/displayed? Both browsers are Safari 5.1.7 and OS is 10.6.8 on both machines.

Sample editor doesn't open selected audio file in 8.0.2

Hey there.
I've just upgraded to Logic pro 8.0.2 from 8.0. When i drag an audio file (a) into the arrange page and then double click on it, it says "nothing to display". It then randomly displays the file (a) but when i double click on another audio file (b) it opens up audio file (a).
Very strange behaviour that surprisingly didn't occur in Logic pro 8.0.
Any suggestions would be really appreciated.
Thanks

Hey Jorge.
Thanks for the suggestion. I've actually had to re-install the bug ridden 8.0.0 version to get it to work. Never thought i'd be saying that
I haven't updated it yet as i need to get some work done before i waste another day trying to sort out mysterious errors.
Thanks anyway

Why doesn't Quicktime play audio in double speed any longer?

Until recently, a person could click on the FF button to play a video/audio file in double speed and hear the audio. This was especially helpful when watching/listening to lectures. Now when you play in double speed there is no audio. What happened? Is there a glitch in the software? I hope the feature is returned to its former design.

Finally figured it out the solution! (This only applies to Mac users.)
Firefox 3.x ran in 32-bit mode and Quicktime 7.x runs in 32-bit mode, so the two programs worked just fine together. The new Firefox 4.x, however, runs in 64-bit mode, so the 32-bt Quicktime 7.x plug-in no longer works correctly.
Luckily the fix is simple: just switch Firefox 4.x from 64-bit mode down to 32-bit mode. Here's how:
[] Close Firefox 4.0
[] Highlight the Firefox icon in the Applications folder
[] Click COMMAND-i to open the Get Info window
[] Click on the box marked: OPEN IN 32-BIT MODE and close the window
[] Launch Firefox
You can now save Quicktime files as before, assuming you have Quicktime Pro.
[] After closing Firefox, you can un-check the OPEN IN 32-BIT MODE box so Firefox will once again run in 64-bit mode.

IMovie '09 doesn't see any audio files or still photos.

I just migrated my G5 iMac to a new iMac. I now have iMovie HD '06 on the new iMac and it works just fine. The problem is iMovie '09 and iPhoto. Neither application can see the audio files to add background music, sound effects, etc. Also, iMovie can not see iPhoto photos. iMovie can see the iPhoto videos. I can add movie clips to iMovie, so that seems to work.

You could have a bad install. There's a thread/threads around here talking about the viewer being all white due to a bad install of the program or a corrupt user. I've also heard it manifest with a black screen instead of white.
Quickest thing to check. Create a new user account. Log in there, and open Motion. If Motion opens fine, then you have a problem with your normal user account.

Why are my logic pro audio files saving in my iTunes folder in the finder?

When i go to the finder, in my itunes section all my logic audio files appear and i have hundreds. im not quite sure whether this is normal or not? any explantions on how i can sort the files out and avoid them being saved in that folder in the future?

You could look in File > Project Settings > Recording and there's a button labelled 'Set..' for you to make sure that any of your Logic project files are stored in the right folder - the usual sequence of events is that Logic asks you to define a recording path as soon as you arm your first audio track and a project folder is actually created for you, so.....
I haven't thought enough about how iTunes works (I use it sometimes, that's all) but a playlist or some kind of other category might have a folder containing links (aliases) to the original files ?

Why are multiple audio tracks causing one of the track levels to increase automatically when the other doesn't have an audio file in it?

So I'm editing an interview and during subtitle sequences in the interview where there is no audio in the interview audio track, the levels automatically rise in the background music track. Here's an illustration of my problem...
http://i58.tinypic.com/2rh3atf.jpg
I also troubleshooted by clicking the Solo button on the background music track and the music plays at the elevated level the whole way through when it's set to be the only track to play. So for some reason, the interview audio track (when it's playing sound) is causing the background music track to decrease in level. I get the same thing on exports. Why is Premiere messing with my levels automatically? No phone or chat support so I'm left asking the forums, thanks for the great customer service Adobe.

Hi Richard,
Appreciate you taking the time to help out. There are absolutely no effects whatsoever on the audio or video tracks.

Why doesn't my incoming mail sound work

I am using Mail 3.3 and in the preferences I have a "new mail" sound .wav file in the general tab
and the box is checked for the "play sounds for other mail actions". The "other mail actions" sounds are working, and when I recheck the .wav sound it plays fine in the sample mode. However, the sound doesn't play in regular receive mail mode. Anybody have a suggestion?

This problem has been had since Tiger came out, there are so many posts about this, the one above is 5 pages long.
I posted this post below on the 15th September 2007 -
+At Least I Am Not The Only One+
+It was good to hear the same problem I've had for ever.+
+I was listening to Leo LaPorte's radio podcast and a lady rang in said her few months old iMac would only play the email arrive sound occasionally. She rang Apple but they couldn't fix the problem, so she rang Leo.+
+At least I'm not the only one and Leo did not know how to fix it either, except to say to check System Preferences/Sound, and I know this makes no difference.+
+I just hope Apple were listening and fix Mail some day.+
I have asked here several times and on other forums and also reported to Apple, I have tried so many different ways to fix the problem including full format erase and new install, but all to no avail.
Thunderbird works perfectly and will play any sound format, why not Apple Mail.
I first thought Leopard would fix this, then the 10.5.5, but no.
So disappointing.

Why doesn't masking with gradient layer work when regular gradient does?

If I make a regular gradient over a layer, and make it's opacity 0, and have it on 'shallow knockout', it will knockout the layer below along the 'lines' of the gradient.
However, when I make a gradient layer to do the same, and set opacity down to zero, it doesn't seem to work. Why?

If I was a more advanced artist, then I might know better when I can merge things and not, but right now, I'm a wanna be artist coming from an engineering background, where when I can't grok a whole picture, I break it down in to parts and combine them.
Like when then hand didn't look right or I needed fingers to be relocated, I brok apart the hand and fingers so could relocate them
separately then reshade them after they were in place.
Another set of things i've kept separate (are about 50-80 'hair strands' most of which have a unique color, then have a another
layer for texturing -- painting the texture onto the color made it impossible to change the look of the texture when it was wrong -- and I've changed it several times, because it didn't look right or came up with a better process/way of doing it. Then there's usually an effect layer on top of that to apply shadowing to the strand, give it a bit of 3-dimensionality, and sometimes multiple or add or something with the layers below for emphasis.
On change I made -- which helped, I started with all 3 layers in a group. and 'N' groups... (still have manny like that.. but a new section I started putting base strands in 1, group , then a copy of those layers, blanked and then painted with texture (that's usually brushed on )..., And it seem the only way to apply an effect to one set or the other (or both) is to convert them to smart objects, which still allows editing (but, unfortunately, also stores them in the same file)...
My eye's, have grown.. ll starting out in a few things, then they got more complex... as I didn't know how to really make an eye look good, so I started w/parts...and ended up with 15 layers/eye (not counting groups... things likke eyebase white, irsibase base, iris color, (base is back to pupil layer somewhere above can punch through to a black layer -- at one point (but backed off that approach, even tried to put some nerves and veins on the iris base...)..... then there's the circles of fibers that make up the iris pattern, various
tints for various fluids and transparent structures, .. YIEKS...
Not making any claims about this being a best or even good way, but when you are learning, and especially whern you come from
an engineering background where you are usd to building thigns up out of parts, .. you don't want to weld your parts together before you are at the final product...and even then, ..... what if you want to make a change?!...
Again, newbie-problem more than likely...with too much software engineering background...
Adobe should really have doing part-time work doing product usability/abusability/stability evals... I've pressed it over the limites more than once, and had to redo the way I do things to stay with in its relavtively easy (for me) to hit limits...
Like the one I posted about the layers slowing things down... trivial to rproduce...yet sounds like Adobe never heard of it.
Another parallel problem I ran into/noticed the other day -- when I MOVED, 90% of the layers (somehow they got out of alignment with 10% that were still in the origninal... could be related to a move/cancel bug I run into too often as well, which, fortunately, has a not too difficult workaround). But I moved 90% of those layers, and it only used 2 cpu's out of 6 (and no GPU usage).... took about 45 -60 seconds .. it was a *simple* +/- xy, (no rotations).. so it was something that could have been done in parallel, easily and wouldn't have been compute bound...
The other bug I've run into WAAY too often, is when trying to move an object, if I don't caefully try to nudge it with rotate, or move a
side, 1st, but instead, just put my pen in the middle of the object, to try to drag it -- it almost ALL the time, selects some base layer and moves some large percentage of the layers -- in a visually corrupting way... since when you hit escape to break out of the 'free movement)., the parts don't go back to where they belong and stay offset and random places...
But it's a visual problem only...I think (not sure how my 90% got moved), -- if you SAVE the file, then make a slight change, and then revert to the just saved copy, it cleans all up. so it's just the display that's messed up.
Anyway, slowly over time, all the layers that I originally had a paint or gradient layers surrounded with a vector, I slowly (interspersed with other stuff) converting them to fill/gradient layers which take up comparatively no space. Really speeds up manipulation of those
objects as well...
But it's slowgoing and the interface for creating a gradient to match an existing one is very awkward to use...It's too bad when you
create a gradient or paint layer to BEGIN with, that it's not automatically created as a vector Then, when you start to paint on it,
it creates a layers sized to your painting applied on top of the existing fill layer...would save all the space take by the pixels that were formula driven... Would be so much more powerful -- only storing as bits the things you need to store as bits, rather than defaulting
to 'bits' for everything (which really consumes resources!)...
Personally, Another feature but this might be specialty, or not..... but as I designed my things with parts, it would be nice to be
able to specify XY coordinate tie points between layers -- so if I moved a layer shaped like a stick, attached to another stick,
by 1 point at each end, changing the angle of the first would change the angle of the 2nd like a 'joint' -- not like a solid rod.... that
would be VERY cool!..but not holding my breath on that.
Just getting the current features to work would be nice...like the gradient masking layer... no reason that shouldn't work, but there ya go.
Maybe you know this one (unrelated...)... But I've more than once run out of temporary space (even with usually 130-150GB on my temp store. The thing is, is that adoe doesn't use any of the extra 56GB I have in my Pagefile -- I can't tell it to use more than 100%
of physical memory -- (i.e. so it would use part of the page file). I have 48GB mem, and 56GB pagefile, that's on an SSD., I'd
rather have it page to the SSD before writing temp files to disk...
If it could force pages out, to the pagefile, before resorting to a spill file, would save on space and possible speed depending on
the config... But , eh, C'est la vie.
Meanwhile, I's still ike to figure out how to solve the orignal problem, but I'm beginning to think it looks like a core bug...so it maybe hard to get around.
Thanks for your comments! As usually, appreciated!...
