Won't let me create a podcast or movie soundtrack! :(

When I open GarageBand, it will let me create a new music project, but WON'T let me create a new podcast episode, or new movie score.
This is what happens:
When I click either podcast or movie score, it opens a "save project" window to create a new project. Once I select a name, location, and click okay, it just goes back to the "GarageBand splash" where I can choose what type of project I want to create. The file that I have just created, did not actually get saved, either. (All iLife/Mac OS updates have been installed).
Help would be appreciated.

I'm having the same problem, but none of the typical solutions worked. Trashing prefs, rebuilding permissions... I even downloaded the 3.0.2 updater directly from the Apple site and re-applied it.
I will try re-installing it... but I was hoping not to have that setback today, as this problem did not exist for me as recently as a few days ago. So I am also sure there are no odd codecs or anything hosing it up, as this is a 100% brand new OS install, clean hard drive, clean everything... and I haven't added anything (except the iWeb 1.1.1 update from Software Update) since it was working fine. (This is in the G5 dual 2.3, 1.5 g of ram - not my laptop, the specs for which are associated witt my profile on the boards)
Any other ideas? Help! and THANKS!

  • Garageband won't let me create a new podcast episode

    I loaded Garageband tonight to start a new podcast episode and found it won't let me create a new podcast episode. After launching, I am presented with the four options of New Music Project; New Podcast Episode; New Movie Score; Open Existing Project. If I choose New Podcast Episode, I get a new choice of Saving As: and I can type in a file name, but I soon as I click on Create, it takes me back to the opening choices window. I can choose New Music Project or New Movie Score, but not New Podcast Episode. (I don't have any old episodes to Open Existing Project).
    I have created a podcast episode in the past just tinkering around, but deleted those episodes a couple of weeks ago.
    Any suggestions?

    I've created a fillable PDF document in XI Pro. I need to change the body of the document and create a new fillable PDF document. When I do that it won't let me create a new PDF. It keeps saying "no new  fields recognized. What can I do to redo my document with the changes in the text, but no changes in the fillable fields?

    You start with a source / authoring file for the "static" content (e.g., Name, Last:). Say this is an MS Word file.
    You master the "static" content..
    You keep this authoring file and have a backup of this file.
    You output a PDF and use Acrobat to build and fine tune the "form" (form = the form fields, not the "static" content).
    The authoring file  and output PDF (with form fields) gives you "rev 00".
    Now, you must change something in the "static" content.
    Open the authoring file and save as to a new version (e.g., "wordfile_v00"  becomes "wordfile_v01).
    Output this to "pdffile_v01".
    Use Acrobat to open the PDF form file "pdffile_v00". Save As to a new file name ("pdffile_v00update").
    Using Acrobat XI Pro the click-path Tools - Pages - Replace lets you replace a page or pages of "pdffile_v00update" with a page or pages from "pdffile_v01".
    This replaces the "static" PDF page content and does not affect the form fields on the page.
    (you may have to adjust position of form fields)
    Save "pdffile_v00update" to "pdffile_v01" to reflect the revised status of the PDF form file.
    Be well...

  • FCPX won't let me create a new project

    On Final Cut Pro X, it won't let me create a new project. It says that an error occurs while saving. What do I do

    Ha! You said so the first time. A'ight. Now... a series of questions to help folks in this discussion forum help YOU:
    What are the full specs of your computer? (Your profile doesn't have those details.) Particulary...  FCPX version, Mac type, RAM, CPU, GPU and number, types and size of HD's. (A memory problem might reveal itself if you're particularly low on RAM or you don't have enough headroom on your hard drives.)
    More importantly, how are your media managed across the drives? Are your projects / events on a SEPARATE drive than your OS and the FCPX app? (This is advised to reduce strain on your CPU.)
    What does the "Activity Monitor" show when you launch FCPX? (high RAM usage, etc.)
    Are you trying to create a new project WITHIN the FCPX interface? (Either by: File > New Project or... mouse-clicking the "+" at the extreme lower left of the FCPX app window.)
    You may have to "repair permissions" on your drives. (Easy thing to do.) Also, if you're using an external drive, is it Mac OS-journaled?
    To be honest, this error has me stumped. But, if you provide this info, someone in this discussion group might be able to steer you through these waters. Just type out a quick laundry list and someone should be by to help.

  • Iphoto won't let me create a new album

    Iphoto won't let me create a new album, every time I press the "plus" button it just makes a little pinging sound. I may have accidentally deleted the album section and I'm not sure how to get it back.

    How about File -> New Album?

  • ITunes Store won't let me create an account

    I recently got an iTunes Music Card and to use it I have to have an account with iTunes Store. But it won't let me create an account. Everytime I try to make one the Windows Installer opens and tries to install Microsoft Small Business. So when I close that suddenly there is an error and iTunes has to close. So I don't get to create an account. What do I do?

    You can create an acct at myinfo.apple.com

  • Imovie won't let me create an event or import videos

    I am trying to create a new event with imovie and when I do I get this box that says,
    "The operation could not be completed.
    No other information is available about the problem."
    When I try to import videos (MOV or MP$A) it doesn't do anything. I select the video, click import selected, and nothing. It just stays where its at.
    I am running the Mavericks version of imovie that was updated when I installed Mavericks.
    Any solutions?
    Thanks,
    grappler1999

    Sorry, I misread your post - it won't even let you create a new event when you select File - New Event
    Have you been able to update any old events and projects from iMovie 9?
    Can you create a new project?
    Do you have MacKeeper installed?  (It is known to interfere with the Share menu but I have not heard of it affecting event creation)

  • Used Verizon iPad 2 won't let me create a new account need help ASAP...

    I bought it used from craigslist and it asks me for a login I never had service with Verizon. Instead of giving me a form to fill out it gives me a email and a password login. I'm on iOS 4.3.3 if I upgrade to 5.0.1 will it solve the issue? What can I do?? Thanks

    When you got the iPad, were you able to immediately turn it on and use the device?  If you were, you really need to start all over, by going into Settings > General then scroll to the bottom of right hand side and tap Reset > Erase all Content and Settings.  This will wipe all data off the iPad.  You'll then need to have the most current version of iTunes on your computer and you'll connect the iPad to it via USB and you'll set up the iPad as a new device.  This will let you create your own Apple ID and you can start adding apps, music, pictures, etc., and then create a new data account with Verizon.

  • ITunes 11.1 won't let me delete old podcasts

    I know it's been covered in many other posts, but want to make sure Apple hears this.
    ITunes 11.1's new podcast section insists on showing me years of old podcasts I've already listened to and want to delete and never see again. This is not a feature. This is a bug. You are making my life less happy. Change it right now.
    Brian L.

    Oh how I agree.  Most agrivating thing in the world.  Must be an employee getting even with apple.  Don't see how anyone who uses this program could have let it slip through.  Doesn't anyone at apple actually buy and iphone?  Sort of like when Ford president looked out the window and he only saw toyoto cars in the employee parking lot.  Simply can't believe this.
    Otherwise one other small complaint.  The backgrounds are too white and hurt my eyes.  How about a softer text background color please.

  • How do you activate the new ipod touch if it won't let you create an apple id?

    I just bought 2 brand new iPod touch 32 GB products for my kids and can not create an apple id for them to be able to facetime, text message....etc? There are no instructions or real specific info from apple? I mean you have to have a email address to create the apple ID but hotmail and gmail...etc won't allow kids to have email addresses?

    If you already have an account. they only need separate email addresses for FaceTime and Messages.

    If necessary, create the email addresses/accounts in your name and supervise their use.

  • Comments secton of iTunes 10.4 won't let me paste my podcast show notes

    I have created over 300 episodes of my podcast, and have always put my show notes in the comments section of iTunes, where they become embedded into the podcast mp3 file. But with this latest version of iTunes (10.4) when I try to paste my show notes into comments, I get an error tone. Nothing will paste in. It will allow me to type a short entry, but not nearly as many characters as previous versions allowed.
    Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is there a new method we are supposed to use in order to add our show notes to an audio file?

    The entire editing interface seems to have been messed with in the latest update.  Running the latest iTunes 10.4 (updated yesterday) but still with Snow Leopard on a 2 year old MacBook.  Can copy and paste, but the autofill from previous data already in the library no longer functions, and the tab key no longer moves you to the next column.  Also, the mouse's ability to highlight portions of the data doesn't seem to work quite right.  It takes two mouse clicks to start highlighting from the location of the cursor, instead of click/hold/highlight (if you can tell what I mean).
    Don't even get me started on the update changing my default library location!

  • Reminders won't let me create anything

    I can't make lists, I can't set reminders. When I ask Siri to remind me of something it says sorry I can't create that reminder. How do I fix the app if I can't uninstall and reinstall is?

    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)
