I am having problems with my music collection, after burning all of my music to the computer I organized it into folders and placed it in the iTunes Folder. As of now i realize this was a mistake. Starting on a new computer now. I cant get my music to transfer from the itunes folder on the old computer? I keep getting error "Can't Read from the source file or disk." Whenever I got to folder properties its always checked read only. But when i play the song it works just fine. Im sure this is just because I added music into itunes folder but is there anyway to fix it?

WMA files are 'window media audio' files, which is a Microsoft format. If you want to add them to your iTunes library on your Mac then you will need to convert them into a compatible format first. If you still have your windows machine then iTunes for Windows can convert them from WMA to MP3 format : https://discussions.apple.com/message/24158701#24158701
Or try a search for, for example, 'convert wma to mp3' to find programs to convert them.

I have installed new firefox - how do i get bookmarks etc. from old computer discs as old pc now broken.

My old PC running Windows XP broke and was not repairable but we managed to salvage the drives. I have a new PC running Wondows 8.1 and have installed Firefox. Can you please tell me how I can get all my bookmarks, passwords etc. from the old disc onto the new Firefox. I have the old disc configured as an external hard drive so it can be read easily.

Having problems with playback being quiet after burning to CD

Hey everyone..
OK... this is a weird one... well im hoping its an easy one and im just missing something.
OK so i edit music together for a dnace group so ts basically blending songs together using MP3's. Once finished i create a mixdown and burn to CD.
The problems occurs when we perform at venues with big sound systems :It just plays back quiet when everyone else music is fine :S but when we play it on a normal to medium size system its fine.
Please help as its so frustration.
Thank you in advance

This could well be one of the few genuine examples of "everyone is out of step but me".
There is a tendancy these days to burn CDs at the hottest possible level and also to over compress the music so it has little or no dynamics (and very little "life) left. I suspect the other CDs are burned like this. On a controlled system, your versions probably sound fine but compared to the over-hot, over-compressed stuff, yours sounds quieter.
That said, theatre venues can be remarkably noisy places for playback. A shuffling, coughing audience, air handling, candy wrappers and (nowadays) the scourge of moving lights can mean you compete with a lot of background noise.
My main involvement in sound is for live theatre work so I prepare a lot of CDs for playback. When that's the only use I'm going to have for the CDs, I tend to put in higher levels and more compression than I would for normal listening. However, I tend to do this "by eye and ear" rather than using an automatic compressor. My method would be: (look away, Steve G...I'm going to mention hard limiting.)
1. Prepare my track in the normal way.
2. Normalise to -.1dB.
3. Examine the Audition display of the whole track. Generally, there will be a few transient peaks that represent the highest level with most of the track being a few dB lower. I note the level of the highest "general" part of the track.
4. In Edit View, I use Effects/Amplitiude/Hard Limiting to hard limit the track to -.1dB and I use the "Boost input by ____ dB" to raise the signal so the "general" level is now the maximum.
Obviously this requires a bit of a judgement call do decide what you consider the "general" level. However, with a bit of practice you can get you levels as high as possible without killing all the dynamics.
The other thing to say is this only works if all your tracks are reasonably similar. If, since you're putting together a medley of different tracks, there are huge differences to start with, you should even these out during the mix process.
Hope this helps.

Can't directly deactivate from old computer, but need Acrobat on new computer...

My old computer died due to a faulty power cord/port issue... I can't power it up to deactivate my Adobe Acrobat directly from that computer. I need it on my new computer and I have the serial number. How do I do this without accessing the old computer? Thanks for any help.

Hi Susan U,
Welcome to Adobe Forum,
When you install it on the third computer or for the third time & when you to activate it, if it installed & activated already twice, there will be an option of deactivating it from the previous computers, please click on that.
Next it will allow you to activate on your new machine,
Now you can go back to your first computer, log out & log back in of Desktopp CC App, launch any product, if there is any product to buy, in that prompt there will be an option to " license the software", please click on that & sign in.
It will reactivate the CC on the first machine.
You have already deactivated it from one machine, hence you can activate it on third computer.
Regards,
Rajshree

Hello, i lost my iphone and now bought an ipad. Also my computer (where my itunes was) is dead. Is there anyway i can get my music back with my apple id?

Hello, i lost my iphone and now bought an ipad. Also my computer (where my itunes was) is dead. Is there anyway i can get my music back with my apple id?

Okay ... you might be able to get back some of your past purchases if your country's iTunes Store supports redownloading past purchases. See the following document for instructions:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
... but if you didn't maintain a back-up, then other content (songs that you'd ripped yourself from CDs and so forth) is gone, and you'd have to reimport it.

Help! I thought I was pretty good setting up slide shows and adding music. I'm trying to make a new slide show from a great trip to New York. I can get theme music but no music at all from iTunes. Checking my older slide shows, which did play music!

Problem seems to have started after updating to Mavericks.
Is there a box I need to check/uncheck?
Any help very welcome!

Hopefully you've seen the post from Terence Devlin? I've pasted it below.
In iTunes go File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Reorganise Library.
Then quit and restart iPhoto.
Pity Apple didn't either warn us or set up a bug fix!

I have been having problems with my speaker. After the recent update I am unable to listen to movies or music using my speaker. The volume bar is completely missing. If I plug a headset into the port, the volume bar reappears.

I have been having problems with my speaker. After the recent update I am unable to listen to movies, music or apps using my speaker. The volume bar is completely missing. If I plug a headset into the port, the volume bar reappears and then disappears after the headset is removed. This is quite annoying. My child's Apps that he likes to play will not even make a sound. HELP!!!

Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)
Note: You will not lose any data.

Sorry for the late reply. My email firewall has become a little over zealous & sent a lot of my emails straight to my junk email folder, so I have only just now discovered your reply in my junk mail folder.
The only "don't open files exceeding xxx megabytes" instruction I can find in my Prefs, is in the Bridge Prefs for Thumbnails, & mine is set at 1000mb. The biggest files I handle are bigger than 200mb so I should be able to open a few, not just one.
However, this doesn't explain why I can open a psd format file of 180mb, close it, but then can't open a RAW format file of only 26mb immediately after.
I can open the RAW file only if I restart my computer - very annoying!
However, thanks for the advice about the video card & memory.
So, I'm still stuck as to what the issue is.

I'm having problems with my internet connection after installing OS X Lion. Is this a known problem or just a local problem?

I'm having problems with my internet connection after installing OS X Lion. Is this a known problem or just a local problem?
After +/- 10 to 15min my connection is gone.
Does anyone have a sollution?

Lots of people are having the same problem, you're not the only one, belieeeeve me.
Just Googling the problem gets you tons of people complaining about the same thing, SOMETHING is up with Lion what wasn't happening with Snow Leopard. i just bought a new Imac and it CAME with Lion, so i started experiencing this internet dropout immediately.
It's been going on for the most of a year it looks like (at least by the dates from the threads i've been reading)
So your best bet is to fiddle with the System Preferences and read what other people have used to make theirs work. i'm doing that myself right now. I already posted a similar thread last night trying to figure out why my connection kept on dropping, i got a reply which linked me to a site. i followed the instructions there, so far so good, but i'm just being cautiously optimistic.
i'm gonna call Apple today and see if they've found anything, though seeing as this is a problem right out of the box there may not be an immediate solution. Good luck hunting for a solution :3

Lost all my music on my iPod touch. Now I can't reload it from my computer because it states that it is in the cloud. How do I get my music back on my iPod touch so I can listen when I'm out of wifi range.

I was trying to fix the "ghost" songs on my ipod touch 4th generation today. Somehow I ended up deleting all my songs from the touch. Now when I try to get them back from my computer it states that they have to be downloaded from the icloud first. Don't know how to do this or why I can't just drag and drop the music from the computer back onto my ipod touch.

Follow the instructions here:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

New used computer doesn't have iPhoto so can't transfer pictures from old computer without upgrading new one. Is there a way to download an older version of iPhoto?

I can't access any of my iPhoto pictures from my old computer since the new (used) computer I got doesn't have it. The new one is a newer version but the applestore only has the iLife 11 which would need me to upgrade. I'm not against upgrading I really just want to access these photos. I used an external harddrive to store the pictures from my old computer and am assuming that the only reason they're not showing up on the new one is because it doesn't have the applicatin (makes sense).
Is there a way to get an older version of iPhoto?
The pictures from iPhoto that are on the external harddrive will show up if i had to the application right? Will they show up on a newer version of iphoto even though they're originally from an older version?
Ahh sorry if this is confusing I'm just really frustrated at technology right now..../////

Is there a way to get an older version of iPhoto?
I suggest you don't do that. There is no guarantee it will work right with a more recent OS.
Install the correct version of iPhoto for the version of Mac OS X you are running. (Which is what?) The folks here will tell you how to get to the Library on the external drive when you provide more info about your computer.
