How do I get iTunes to recognise and play wma files?

A couple of years ago I loaded all my music onto a Macbook Pro and used iTunes to load it to my iPhone. Now my computer has been stolen and so I have bought a new one with Mavericks. No matter what I do iTunes  won't import and play my wma files. What do I have to do to get iTunes to recognise these files.
thanks

  • How can I get iTunes to locate and play all my music files?

    How can I get iTunes to locate and play all my music files?

    I have this problem too. I am researching now. Here is what I know so far. If you right click a song then get ifo the it will say Protected AAC or purchased AAC. Protected wont play on sonos, purchased will play on sonos. It seems that all my protected were purchased 2005 to 2009 or so. I am trying to find out if apply will convert these for a small dfee or if I use the itunes cloud these tunes will convert for me. downloading and reloading is not an option for me. Pretty much a money grab by apple either way. I am sure Steve is smiling.

  • HT1473 I want to keep my music on my external hard drive to free up room on my computer how do i get itunes to recognise the hard drive to play the music?

    I would like to keep all my music on my external hard drive but I can't seem to get itunes to recognise my hard drive.  How do I get itunes to recognise my hard drive so I can play the music off there rather than copying the files over each time?

    Click the icon to launch iTunes
    Immediately press and hold down the shift key
    Keep holding shift until asked to create or choose a library
    If iTunes opens normally close and go back to step 1.
    Browse to the iTunes Library.itl file you want to open.

    If you had copied across as directed there would be no need to move anything back...

  • How do you get iTunes to recognise new/changed Airport names? These Airports have attached speakers.

    How do you get iTunes to recognise new/changed Airport names? These Airports have attached speakers. Itunes showes the old names of these Airports but they have been renamed in a newly reconfigured network. Itunes will play through the attached Airport attached speakers. The Airport utility shows the correct new names.

    Hi turingtest2 - thanks for the reply. As you say It is how it is - and I have three workstations in this home (not counting three for my children and one for the family) and I pretty much always have more than one OS on each - that's how it is for me. I shouldn't have to worry about how many OSs I have (or how often I change them) just to have music while I'm working - through the PC sound system that is. I never have to worry about any other software, only iTunes. Once in a while (in the past) I've made a vendor call if I changed to many things to often (like CPU, GPU, memory, etc - or even a replacement MB) - but that hasn't happened in a couple years (at least since Vista) so I think (hope) they have fixed that for good. And even then it was a quick call and problem resolved. The only (glaring) constant problem is iTunes - limiting my own use of my own music (by counting an OS as a physical PC). Even with VM (which is just another OS) - although you can Attach things to multiple active OSs - it's still your own (purchased) music - and all on one PC. Thanks again!

  • How can I get itunes to download and install?

    How can I get itunes to download and install?

    You need to install it - just downloading does not necessarily install it. If you double click it, does it open an installer window? Or, can you simply drag it into your Applications folder (if it is not showing in Launchpad)?
    FWIW, your downloads folder is just a temporary "holding" place for your downloads - once you have installed applications or moved other files where they belong, you can empty that folder.
    PS - If this is what you downloaded, it is a disk image (.dmg) which means you need to double click it; you then need to move the icon and install it.
    Out of curiosity: is it working well? I'm curious because it is rather dated software.

  • How do I get iTunes to read and import track information?

    How do I get iTunes to read and import track information from compilation CDs? Typically, the compilations have been burned to disk using iTunes or Toast 8 Titanium. I have checked data boxes as available with both softwares. My REGA Planet CD player as well as my car CD player can read the track info but neither my nor my friends' iTunes can read the tracks for importing.

    I don't believe that iTunes can read CDText.

  • IPhone **** cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later - I get this error message yet I have 10.6.4, how can I get itunes to recognise my phone?

    The iPhone **** cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later - I get this error message yet I have 10.6.4, how can I get itunes to recognise my phone

    You must be referring to OS X 10.6.4, because there is no iTunes version 10.6.4. You can download iTunes 10.6.3 here:

    Any reason why you have not updated to OS X 10.6.8? If you did, you could then run iTunes 11.0.1.

  • How can I get iTunes to recognise 2 different iPads?

    Just bought a new iPad2 but when I connect to iTunes, it thinks it's another iPad we have in the family (we share the usic library). How can I get iTunes to realise it's a different device?

    That is one of the most bizarre things that I have seen reported, but nothing is impossible.
    Quit iTunes, restart your computer, reboot your iPad and then connect it again.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • How do I get iTunes to recognise media on a new external hard drive?

    I had moved my entire iTunes library to an external HDD after running out of space on my 2007 Macbook.  Unfortunately my HDD then broke so I sent it for data recovery.  Now I've got it back I can't seem to be able to get iTunes to automatically recognise my new HDD, and iTunes seems to have changed the location where it's searching for the music back to the default one.
    If memory serves me correctly I did this on an older version of iTunes but am now running the latest one.  Dunno whether that makes any difference or not but I just want to be able to access the music which the data recovery company salvaged (tens of GBs' worth) so I can update my iPod and hear my tunes!

    Hi aghill77,
    Sorry to hear of your troubles.  If you click on a song and it will not play, you can delete it.  Then you can redownload it from the iTunes Store or re-import it from a CD or file as described above.  The links below will show you how to delete purchased content and redownload it from the iTunes Store.  There also a link to review your entire purchase history and get help from the iTune Store Support team if you need it.

  • I have 2 Ipods, how do i get Itunes to recognise the difference?

    I have a IPOD video and a Ipod nano, I want sperate songs on each, how do i do this, I dont want to loose my songs on itunes... can i get 2 itunes? Any help would be lovely !!

    If you are adding a second iPod for your own use, just connect the new iPod to your computer and follow the on screen instructions to register and name it. You don't need two iTunes libraries you can use the same one for both and iTunes will recognise each as an individual device. Depending on the size of your library and the type of iPod you choose you can have your iPods update all songs and playlists, selected playlists only or you can manage either of them manually. In other words you can have each of them set to update differently, the larger one might update everything, the smaller one you might just update manually.
    For info:
    The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences.
    Connect your iPod to your computer and when it appears in the Source list click on it to show the preference tabs in the main pane. Choose one of the following options and click "Apply".
    1) Sync Music - All songs and Playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method. You'll find this in the Music Tab.
    2) Sync Music - Selected playlists. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer. You'll find this in the Music Tab.
    3) Manually manage music and videos. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod. You'll find this in the Summary Tab.
    Note: When changing from automatic to manual, check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Don't uncheck Sync Music it will be unchecked by default when you choose the manual setting.

  • HT2534 Hi! how can i get itunes gift cards and itunes gifts CODE. and how can i get that code?? I can't use any application to my ipad3. its always asking to my account,everytime i tried to open any of the applications its always the same question.?

    <Edited By Host>

    Whether you can get iTunes gift cards in your country depends upon whether they are available there, they aren't sold in all countries. If they are sold in your country then you can get them from Apple, and here in the UK they are also sold in supermarkets, and electronic goods retailers.
    What message are you getting and when do you get it ?
