I have my audio files saved as AIFF, is there any way to tell the iTunes match to play back 256 version instead to save on cellular data use?

I have been using the match for about 5 months and it's very cool to have all the tunes with me at all times.  But, my ATT 'unlimited' data plan slows down after a certain point and I can't effectively stream the big files I uploaded to the cloud until it resets the next month.  I get about 12-15 days of no problems and then the rest of the month I'm taking cd's in the car. 
Help!

Using iCloud Status you can see which Songs are uploaded.  These can be placed in a playlist and saved to audio CD - in addition copy the playlist content to an open folder on your desktop.
Delete the Songs from your library & cloud; import the Songs as 256 AAC from CD; update iTunes Match.
At your discretion you can delete the local Songs once more and add back the original files from your desktop folder.
This way you have the original files for local playback and 256 AAC files in the cloud for download.

  • Is there a way to update the itunes match to reflect changes that i have made on my computer

    Every time i update itunes match it looses my alterations to my playlists and undoes any alterations to any albums i have made. Is there a way to update the itunes match to reflect changes that i have made on my computer?(Only copies new playlists and reverts old playlists to the way they were the first time I uploaded them) Any star ratings for albums are lost too if I put a star rating on them AFTER I first upload them to ITunes match.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated and Merry Christmas you guys!

    HI
    You don't need to select update iTunes match. It does not do what you expect!! You only need to make the changes and they will filter through to match naturally.

  • Using pages, I saved the wrong file thereby overwriting the file I want.  Is there any way to get the file I want back?

    Is there any way to recover a file if you have overwritten it?

    When I do that: Pages>Revert to > I don't get a chance to "Browse all Versions"  Instead it says, "no Document"

  • Had to crash my computer. Lost my recovery key. Have my iphone paired with previous install. is there any way to get the data back?

    In order to upgrade my computer from Windows xp to Windows 7, I lost access to firefox without thinking to generate a recovery key. Is there any way to get my data back?

    If the only thing you have paired to the account is an iPhone the answer is that unfortunately no. The iPhone client (Firefox Home) is just a "consumer" of the Sync data and can't do much.
    My best advice is to keep the iPhone synced to have access to bookmarks and manually transfer them to your new profile.
    Sorry to be the carrier of the bad news.

  • Is there any way to recover the iTunes Library file from the iPod Touch to preserve metadata like Date Added?

    Topic.
    I used software (SharePod) to retrieve music from my iPod Touch after my original harddrive failed, but the program does not retrieve the iTunes Library file needed to import the metadata into iTunes (though it shows in the program itself). The music backed up with no issue, but I don't have what I need to preserve things like Date Added, Play Count, etc. Any solution if I have only the physical iPod Touch?

    Yo may be able to extract some info from the backup of the iPod:

  • I lost my contacts, texts etc after syncing my phone to itunes for first time since 2012, now all I have is info. starting from 2012.  Is there any way to recover the contacts, texts etc that I have lost for the last 2 years? So ticked off at apple!

    I am hoping that someone can help me understand how it can be so easy to lose the last 2 years data on an iphone by synching to itunes for the first time since 2012?  If this happens from itunes automatically overwriting your phones system why would'nt there be warnings and red sirens going off on your phone?  Can somone please let me know if this lost data is recoverable and maybe even let me know how to recover it?
    Thank you

    Glad to help!  The reply you got was very generic and didn't completely address your questions.
    Basically, all it said was to restore your backup.  What I addressed was your query about how and why this happened. iTunes did give you prompts and warnings. And if you'd used iTunes back in 2012, then you'd have lost much less data when you made the incorrect selection.
    Do you have an iCloud backup?  Were you backing up your device at all?
    I just found it amusing that you were 'ticked off at Apple' when Apple didn't cause this problem.  You did.
    Have a great day!

  • I have downloaded a Audio Book from Itunes Store, but rencently i have had to reinstall windows, is there any way to re-download the audio book from Itunes, i know that the audio books are one time downloads, but is there any way to get the audio book

    I have downloaded a Audio Book from Itunes Store, but rencently i have had to reinstall windows, is there any way to re-download the audio book from Itunes, i know that the audio books are one time downloads, but is there any way to get the audio book back as i have already paid for it once and i would not like to pay for it twice.

    If you haven't got a backup copy and if it's still in the store then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download (there is no guarantee that they will) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • I have written a binary file with a specific header format in LABVIEW 8.6 and tried to Read the same Data File, Using LABVIEW 7.1.Here i Found some difficulty.Is there any way to Read the Data File(of LABVIEW 8.6), Using LABVIEW 7.1?

    I can think of two possible stumbling blocks:
    What are your 8.6 options for "byte order" and "prepend array or string size"?
    Overall, many file IO functions have changed with LabVIEW 8.0, so there might not be an exact 1:1 code conversion. You might need to make some modifications. For example, in 7.1, you should use "write file", the "binary file VIs" are special purpose (I16 or SGL). What is your data type?

    if it's fat32 then the mac can read it without problems
    if it's ntfs then you can install programs which make it possible to write to it too otherwise it's read only

  • I have accidentally deleted a Numbers spreadsheet. Is there any way to recover it?

    I have accidentally deleted a Numbers spreadsheet. Is there any way to recover it?

    Hi ilpchow,
    Ok, Undo does't work.
    Try Step 2:
    Menu > File > Revert To > Last Saved
    If that doesn't work, try the other suggestions.
    I hope you did Save sometime .

  • HT201250 I had files stored on a hard drive that were not on my Mac. I used the hard drive for my first Time Machine back up, but it was not enough hard drive space to finish. Now those stored files are gone. Is there any way I can recover them?

    I had files stored on a hard drive that were not on my Mac. I used the hard drive for my first Time Machine back up, but it was not enough hard drive space to finish. Now those stored files are gone. Is there any way I can recover them?  No, they were not part of previous Time Machine backups, and I have checked both the hard drive the documents were lost on and the new one that I now use for backups. Any suggestions would be helpful, as the lost files are old pictures that are gone forever. :[ Thanks!

    1. Yes, if both drives are formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    2. Reformat the drives if needed, open the Time Machine pane of System Preferences, and remove the drive with the pictures from the list of items set to be excluded.

  • Is there any way to get the files from other computer ?

    Hai all,
    I have 2 computers connected. I know the IP address of other computer. Is there any way to get the files from other computer. (for e.g. I want to get the files from specific folder. In Java netwroking is it possible? (Any programs)
    regards,

    Bro Take it easy.
    Think you need to send a Image file named ("abc.gif")
    now develop a server using ServerSocket and connect it in local IP and any PORT
    For example i think ur server is connected in "localhost" and 9000 port.
    Now make ur server educated using some commands.
    For example:
    FileName: <File Name String>
    [Means new file is sending by connected client]
    FileSize: <File size long or int value>
    [ So that ur server can determind about the total length of sender file]
    DataModeOpen
    [Now your client will send its image data, this command means your client software is sending data]
    fjadlkfjaofaijojfwoeiurfodkjflsajlfksa
    l23j4lj23lkjlasjfoq23j4rokjelfkjasldkf
    2o3j4lk2j3ljslakdjf2l3j4 l23kjlk23k4j
    DataModeClose
    [Means file sending finished]
    Close
    [Means your client connection is closed]
    Now develop a client supporting this command.
    For example(Server):
    String getFileName=null;
    long getFileSize=0;
    public handleCommand(String getCmd) {
        if(getCmd.startsWith("FileName")) {
                String[] splitData=getCmd.split(":");
                this.getFileName=   splitData[1];
                outPutStream.writeBytes("+OK");
        } else if(getCmd.startsWith("FileSize")) {
                String[] splitData=getCmd.split(":");
                this.getFileSize=Long.parseLong(splitData[1]);
                outPutStream.writeBytes("+OK");
        } else if(getCmd.startsWith("DataModeOpen")) {
               //data mode open so receive data
              receiveData();
              outPutStream.writeBytes("+OK");
        } else if(getCmd.startsWith("DataModeClose")) {
              //close client socket
             getClientSocket.close();
    }For client:
    DataInputStream dataIn=null;
    BufferedOutputStream bout=null;
    public sendFile(bytes[] getBytes) {
            //if ok found then do other or show error message
        if(sendCmd("FileName:"+getFileName)) {
            if(sendCmd("FileSize:"+getFileSize)) {
                if(sendCmd("DataModeOpen")) {
                   bout.write(getBytes);
                } else {
                   showError(3);
            } else {
                   showError(2);
       } else {
            showError(1);
    }i think it will help u

  • I forgot to save a file in Numbers. Is there any way I can possibly get it back?

    I forgot to save a file in Numbers. Is there any way I can possibly get it back?

    Do a search in Finder for Untitled.Numbers. If you find such a file, or some variation, try to open it and see what's there. That's if you never saved.
    Mavericks is pretty good about autosaving, so you chances are not too bad. In the future though, never write a thing in a new document until you give it a name and a place.

  • Have IPhone 4s, I deleted some pictures is there any way I can get them back in my phone?

    Have iPhone 4s, I deleted some pictures, is there any way I can get them back on my iPhone ? Thanks

    If the photos were from Camera Roll, then they are saved on your latest iPhone backup.  You could restore the backup from iTunes (or iCloud).
