Changing file type when syncing to iPhone?

Hello, is there a way to change the music file type when syncing my computer with my iPhone? I would like to store music on my compter as Apple Lossless, but then sync it as AAC to the iPhone. Under the iTunes 10.5.3 Advanced tab, I see that I can select songs and convert them inside of iTunes, but then it duplicates the song in my Library in the new format. I'm looking for a way to do this on the fly during the sync, if that is possible. Thanks.

I see that setting now in iTunes when I plug in my iPhone, thanks. That appears to be the only bitrate option available, I was hoping to keep them at a higher quality for the iPhone, but not as high as Apple Lossless. Guess I'll just do the conversion in iTunes at 256 kbps AAC, sync those to the phone, and then delete them out of the library on the computer. It would be a cool upgrade to iTunes to have more bitrate options available.

Changing file type when saving doesn't work

How can I fix the problem where, if I change file type when saving, eg from tiff to jpg, the 'jpg' suffix is not appended in the save window? It remains as tiff. This has only started happening recently.

I have a G5 iSight running OSX 10.4.11 with all the latest upgrades. The problem is about a week old.
Yesterday I did a clean install of everything (not because of this problem) which I'm sure would have cleared the problem. But I was playing around with importing all my old PS and InDesign settings via copying the old preference files (and others), and the tiff/jpeg problem has reappeared. Seems to me like one of the files I copied, contains the problem. I suspect the only way out of this is to reload PS. But I was hoping it might be as simple as deleting a certain preference file.

Can't change file type when saving EA3

Hi,
When I open test.txt and attempt to save it as test.sql I get an error:
"Cannot convert file /Users/henrycollingridge/test.txt to file /Users/henrycollingridge/test.sql"
I have tried changing the file type to sql, text and all files with the same result.
I am running EA3 on OSX 10.5.
Cheers,
Henry

Said so too in 30EA3 -> 1.1: Can't run/debug procedure from file , but no answer yet.
Hope they fix these before release,

How to change file type when exporting a report with a background job

Hi,
I've set up a background job in SM36 to execute a SAP Query I've created, set to send the results as a file to an external email address. When it arrives the file is a .htm (and it seems to cut out after a few pages of data), but I'd like it to export as a .xls, .txt or .csv.
I've checked the job, the query and my user settings, but I can't find where the change the file extension used - can anyone please tell me how to do it?
Thanks,
Tim

Hi Shiva,
Can you please confirm where in SQ01/2 the file path information / settings are?
Thanks,

Hello Sid Underwood,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information, take a look at:
Resolve specific iTunes update and restore errors
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694#4
Configure your security software
Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.
Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.
Have a nice day,

You need to be running itunes 10.7 on your computer....

When syncing my iPhone with iTunes, I get the error, "some items did not sync, see itunes for help", but can't find any helps for this in iTunes. Where can I find out what is not syncing?

When syncing my iPhone with my iPhone, I get a message that 2 items did not sync - use iTunes for help.
But I can't find any help information in iTunes at all, let alone when items are not syncing.
How do I figure out what is not syncing?

Since it seems App related, I'm not sure what to offer you. I guess the only suggestion I have is for you to reboot your iPad and then try again. To reboot, hold the power and home buttons at the same time for at least 10 seconds (keep holding past the swipe to shut down bar if it appears) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart. You won't lose any settings or data, so it's worth a shot.

This never happened before, however the last couple of months it comes up every time I plug my USB from PC to iphone.

Where is "save as" or how to change file type in Preview in Lion?

Where is "save as" or how to change file type in Preview in Lion? I used to use Preview to change quickly change a lot of PNGs to either JPEGs or PDFs but with the introduction of versions auto save etc there no "save as" in the File menu. Any suggestions how to get this functionality back or how to get around it within OS X (no Photoshop etc)?

Just wasted 15 minutes looking for that. What's wrong with Save As?

When syncing my iphone stores all of my pictures that are on my computer as "Camera Albums" How do I: a)delete these off of my phone (they are hogging my available space)

When syncing my iphone all of the pictures on my computer are saved onto the phone as "Camera Albums" . As they are taking up too much space I want to delete them from the phone but don't see how to do this. Also, how do I prevent the pictures from the computer from being imported to the phone in the first place?

Photos are transferred from your computer to your iPhone, not imported.
This is selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences, which can't be selected by itself. This requires user interaction.
All photos transferred from your computer are stored in the iPhone's Photo Library. If you transfer multiple albums or folders of photos, all photos in all albums or folders are stored in the Photo Library. The photos in the albums below include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. Photos in the albums below are not duplicates taking up double the storage space. This way you can view the photos in an album only by selecting the album, or you can view all photos in all albums by selecting Photo Library.
