iMovie pull iTunes library

I just bought a new macbook air. I installed the new version of iMovie, version 10.1.2. I can get downloaded photos and in the timeline, but I can't sync with my iTunes library.

I am connected and authorized in my iTunes, I can see all my music in iTunes and I can play. In iMovie, it is not with the any of these music files. I can drag them from iTunes in iMovie and it imports the name and place in the timeline, but there is no audio real (not little waves on the track, even if this setting is enabled).

I scoured internet. I can't understand this. Thank you

Hi, syker,

I think you have to use iTunes/preferences/advanced to configure iTunes library sharing to other applications.  Open your iTunes application and take a look at some advanced preferences.

The reason that the songs that you drag in are not to play and no display of waveforms is probably because they are protected by DRM and are not available for use in iMovie.  I have 464 songs in my iTunes library I can't use.  Through the game of iTunes program, you have to pay, you can re - download at least some of the songs

who are without DRM protection, as long as iTunes still sells the song.  Frustrating, I know.

Best,

Rich

  • How to use on another mac iTunes library stored on external hard drive - on cable network

    I recently bought a new iMac. I used a time machine to the top to move all files my new computer. I still want to use my old iMac as a media server for my network. The main iTunes library is located on an external hard drive connected to my old iMac.  I don't want to move all these files to my new iMac media because they are large enough.

    I sync all my families phones/ipads on this new iMac and of course difficulties with finding them their music/songs etc. When I contacted apple support, they had me move my iTunes library to my new iMac. Now phones are able to properly synchronize and pull up all of their media. However I just duplicated 200 GB of media files. I was able to access the external hard drive to move the media. Is there a way to have my new iMac external hard accessing multimedia disc in iTunes for play and synchronize multimedia files without storing this library on my new computer?

    Why not simply unplug the external hard drive and move it? And I don't think so. You can use home sharing to access the library and the Wi - Fi sync iTunes by following the instructions in the link.

  • moving iTunes library to a new location, then the old location is no longer available

    I just restored the iTunes folder and all subfolders, including multimedia content of amy (music, videos,...), on a drive hard new, because the old hard drive is broken.

    So, now, for every song, iTunes tells me "the song... couldn't be used because the original file cound not be found. You want to locate? ». Hope, I don't have to do this for every song in my library... What can I do?

    Go to iTunes > Preferences > advanced. At the top is where the location of your iTunes library is specified. Click on edit and then specify the new location

  • Why don't the addition of metadata to be added manually in the iTunes library song change metadata in Windows Explorer and anywhere else?

    Adding metadata to a song in the iTunes library has no effect anywhere else (as in Windows Explorer or the Groove music).

    I would like to know if I have disabled this in error or if it is not guaranteed to all visitors.

    Where it is not provided to customers, I would like to know how iTunes stores this metadata and whether it can be automatically sent to the library of Windows.

    Thank you.

    A reason of changes committed to iTunes cannot be is covered in the tip of the user, fix the iTunes for Windows security permissions but iTunes usually returns to the original data if you probably don't see this particular problem. The other possibility is of several tags.

    Several tags (Mp3 files only)

    The ID3 specification allows files to have several tags in different versions and languages, but iTunes does not work properly with simple tags. When multiple tags are present it can sometimes do not apply updates to the tag that reads back (probably update one of the others in the file) and it is also possible that the iPod and iTunes may have different rules for the tag that they give priority to. This could lead to situations where everything is properly organized in iTunes, but then inexplicably collapses on an iPod, or tracks that display different information in Windows Explorer or another media player. There are tags 3rd party editors that allow to manipulate several tags, but I don't have a casual recommendation. A workaround in iTunes is to use the context menu convert the ID3 Tags... > None a few times to remove all the labels, then convert ID3 Tags... > v2.3 to build a cool tag with information still held in the iTunes database. I've read in the past that iTunes is not completely compatible with the specification v2.4, although this may be the case, support is more however for v2.3 is widespread, then I would say using v2.3 to v2.4. All embedded work will be deleted so it must be replaced if wanted. For Windows users running a script named CreateFolderArt before and after the cleaning process tag should handle this.

    Note that some data, for example the sides and the counties of game, is only stored in the database internal iTunes and not surrounded by tags.

  • old itunes library

    How can I add my i - pod old songs included in my new itunes library (which is held today in my pc and i-phones, too)?

    If iTunes purchased songs, you should be able to copy them to the iTunes library on your computer by connecting the iPad and by file > devices > transfer purchases and you can then synchronize with your phone. If they are not purchasing iTunes they should already be on your computer and/or your backup of your library of downloads.

    Hello

    My iTunes says I have 73 GB of music, when I go to 'about this Mac' and look at the storage it says I have 127,16 GB of audio on my MacBook Pro (early 2011).

    Any thoughts on why there is such a difference.

  • Deletion of albums of my iTunes library also removes the songs from these albums of my playlists

    Hello! I wonder if there is a way to delete albums of my iTunes library without removing songs from these albums of my playlists.

    I take my playlists seriously enough (because I know others do too) and would not that they be tampered with. The songs I have in them that I'm here for a reason and a lot of these songs are single whole albums I've saved in my iTunes library. I just recently the desire to clean my library because he got rather crowded with reckless decisions, but I can't do it until I have a solution. I'm glad that I remembered that this might affect my playlists before any serious damage was done.

    I still have to find a question like this or a setting that would allow me to do. Please help me if you have an idea of how to go on this subject! Thank you very much in advance

    No, you cannot delete an album on iTunes and at the same time not delete tracks. You could potentially change the details of the track so that less albums appear in the library, but I'm reluctant to even suggest that he. Data are always more easily thrown only recovered later.

  • Do remote iTunes library default?

    Is there a way to configure iTunes to use a default remote iTunes library?

    My main iTunes library is on an iMac and another Mac I want to use this default iTunes library.

    I work sharing at home between the two systems.

    Thanks in advance

    Rohit

    It's a little involved if you want to leave the library on the main drive of the first computer.  Will be have to make the folder containing the library reading and writing of the computer, so make sure that the first computer is always turned on and wake up when you use iTunes on the second computer. In addition, you can only use the library to a computer at a time.

    Well. can you help me please... I own this music and paid for it!

    Kind regards

    An iPhone is not a source of backup for the music.

    You can restore all your music purchased on iTunes, but it seems that if you know that and you want to restore the rest.

    The way to do that is to replace your Mac Mini with a new Mac, then use Time Machine as well as the Migration Wizard to restore your last backup Mac Mini for this new machine.
