N95 Music Media and iTunes Plus

Hi,
I am trying to play on my N95 some songs which I bought from iTunes Plus but they don't work. The songs are 256kbps AAC songs without encryption (with .m4a extension). They work on many softwares in PCs and MAC, including Real Player on Mac. They do not however play on Music Player or Real Player on N95. Is there any way to play these on the N95?
Regards,
Muhammad Alkarouri

OK - we have a free tool that fixes iTunes Plus files!
A commenter on my site (and fellow blogger himself) Joshua King has found what causes the problem, and has created a Java tool that can fix the files. It does so without removing meta data or re-encoding.
Check my site for the latest info and links to Joshua's site with details and downloads.

    You buy one and only one download.
    As it should have been transferred to your computer when you synced, you can contact itunes support and ask for an exception.

  • HT3847 Using 'Grand Perspective' to see my files, I have both iTunes media and iTunes music files.  It seems I have 'organised' my media, but should or need there still be both types of files?  I am running out of HD space and thought, maybe, 'merging' .

    I'm trying to free up disk space.  When I look at my files using 'Grand Perspective' (Like 'Disk Inventory X'), I see songs in both iTunes music and iTunes media files.  I'm wonder if there is some kind of duplication between them.  Could I find HD space by doing something with these files?  I've already 'organised' them using the iTunes library feature.  But I note that it seems that organizing could leave the old (?) files in their 'original place'.  That sounds to me like duplication.
    I'm not at all a 'techie' so don't know where to go from here.

    You are asking several different questions. If you need to store your photos, music, and movies on an external volume, you certainly can. Any externally connected hard disk drive will work, connected either directly to your Mac or to your Time Capsule as a shared volume.
    You should not rely upon using that as a backup device though. Although you certainly may use it for both purposes, it is a better idea to have dedicated backup devices for a variety of reasons not limited to redundancy. You would not want to simultaneously lose all your pictures as well as your backup. If they are all on the same device, that could happen. Furthermore, a backup cannot back up the volume on which it is running.
    As for adding an Extreme or Express, using its LAN port for your iMac, and then enable Internet sharing so you can effectively use the iMac as a "hotspot", you can do that too, but I am unclear on what benefit you believe this arrangement would convey for you.
    An Extreme's Guest network is separate from its Main network; that is the reason for having it.

  • HT1391 Do I need to keep both the Itunes Media and Itunes Music folder in order for Itunes to work?  It has eaten my hard drive up.

    I have Itunes Music and Itunes Media folders that have almost the same gigs in them, the media is larger. Do I need both of these?  I am left with 12 gigs of 500 gig hard drive and it is because of all the music I have.  Can I get rid of one of these?  And, if so how?  I do not want to screw up my Itunes because I love it.  Thanks!

  • Why does my HP laptop download all my music windows media player, HP connected music player, and itunes, when I only open it in itunes?

    My HP lap top downloads all my music to the windows media player, my itunes, as well as HP connected.  Is this taking up 3 times the space on my computer as it would if it only just used one?  I only want music on my itunes, but it puts it in all 3.

    when I go to the youtube, the WMP pauses the music by itself, and when I close the youtube, the WMP resumes the music byt itself!

  • M4A to MP3 and Itunes Plus

    Good day,
    I know when buying the iTunes Plus M4A songs, you can burn them to any number of CDs and use them on any Apple Device or Windows PC that you own.
    Firstly. Am I right i assuming this?
    Secondly. If I convert these files to MP3s using iTunes, because my car's MP3 player cannot play M4As, can I still burn those to CDs, or does the "iTunes Plus Benefit" fall away when the file is converted?
    Regards,
    Willem Voigt

    Hello WillemVoigt247,
    As the original media has no DRM, converted versions of these files will also have no DRM (just as if you were to burn a CD, then rip that CD, the resulting music would have no associated DRM).

  • Korn's New Album and iTunes Plus

    I pre-ordered Korn's new album several weeks ago and downloaded it today, but it looks like it is in regular DRM format. I paid $11.99 for the album, but it looks like the regular DRM version was downloaded on my computer. I verified that my settings are set to show me iTunes Plus music, which I can see that the album is listed as iTunes Plus in the store. When I go to iTunes Plus, it shows the album being able to be upgraded for around $3.00. Did I do something wrong? Is anyone else having the same problem?

    If you are implying that you've never synced and backed up the device, well that is simply not smart.
    User's can backup their iOS devices at any time by connecting to iTunes and selecting the backup option from the Summary tab or by backing up to iCloud.
    Most people will regularly backup their devices and transfer iTunes purchases to iTunes on the computer for safekeeping.
    Basically, you are stating that the device has not been used as designed and now data has been lost.  Sorry, that's just too bad.  But at least now you know how to prevent this in the future.

  • Trying to access Music Store and iTunes shuts down...

    I've been trying to open the Music Store for days with no luck. I get an error message "The exception Privileged instruction 0xc0000096 occurred in the application at location 0x1003527a" and when I click "ok" iTunes closes abruptly. Sometimes I don't even get the error message and iTunes just closes during the "Accessing Music Store" screen. This is very frustrating as I have done all the posted fixes from Apple. (disabled Norton, unistalled/reinstalled iTunes 6) It's not my ISP because another computer can access it from my wireless network. This came on suddenly with no apparent changes in my hardware/software configuration.(been working fine for 1 year)
    Please Help!

    hiya!
    you've got a standard 32-bit version. the x64 version has an "x64" mentioned in that screen. for a little more info on that, see:
    http://www.ittvis.com/services/techtip.asp?ttid=4040
    i was checking, because the error message you were getting was very similar to one folks can get if they've got a problem with their QuickTime on an x64 PC. itunes needs a functioning QT to work correctly, and a broken QT can cause problems with viewing the Music Store too.
    try to open your QuickTime. does it launch properly, or do you get an error message?
    if you get an error message, the first thing we'll try is a careful standalone QT 7.1 reinstall.
    download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
    Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
    if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
    (if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

  • IOS music library and iTunes syncing problems

    Hello,
    Just wondering if the issues that have been bothering me for some time and with multiple recent iOS and iTunes versions are going to get fixed in the future?
    Adding or removing music manually or automatically between iTunes and the iOS has resulted in the corruption of the music library on the iOS device several times and the solution to fix the problem is always to empty the device and to start over. For example today I noticed that the album art had disappeared from my music (a known issue) and I searched the forums for a solution. Well the solution is to empty all of the music from the device and upload it back again and the album art will be back. Great! Except the music got deleted and still the space in use is showing "other usage" for the exact size of my deleted music library. If I try to add some music it adds to the space of the mysterious occupied space and the device is soon full. Time to start from scratch again. The syncing is broken and the software is buggy and I'd like it to work flawlessly instead of starting from scratch every time I'm making any minor changes to my music library. I think the reliability of the software and the basic functions is more important than the ability for the phone to ring in the computer whenever I get a call. Which is pretty amazing in someone else's opinion I'm sure.
    Oh yes and the iPad is not uploading updated apps to the iTunes automatically which it did some software versions ago (a known issue). This is annoying.

    Schpoiler,
    I had the very same problem with you. I think the main reason for this happening is purchasing and downloading content with your phone. I don't know how it happens though, this seems the problem with me.
    What I did is, I basically erased all content and settings from my iPhone and used my backup in my mac to install everything back again. After that, the "other usage" got really small in size and as I deleted all the songs by using syncing, I saw that music occupied no space in my phone. Then, I synchronized my music back again and now everything works just fine.

  • Music disappeared and ITunes freezes when re-syncing: Help!

    Yesterday all my music, photos, and video vanished from my 60 gb iPod. Naturally I tried to re-sync, but ITunes freezes every time I plug it in and immediately unfreezes when I unplug. The error message says "The iPod cannot be synced. The required folder could not be found." I went into preferences and checked "prevent devices from syncing automatically," but the iPod still tries to sync when I plug it in and it is impossible for me to adjust any settings within ITunes.
    I tried the check disk utility and my computer locks up. I also tried the manual reset, which seems to work, but I can't get the Disk Mode to work properly. When I looked in my iPod utilities, it said that iPod was almost full, yet I can't find any music or playlists despite being able to navigate the menus.
    Since the iPod itself seems to be working, I'd hate to have to junk this because some settings can't be adjusted. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

    Try putting the iPod into [Disk Mode|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1363] to stop it from continuously rebooting. Then again attempt to restore the iPod through iTunes. Otherwise it may be the signs of a failing hard drive.
    I would maybe check up on taking advantage of the warranty you have on it.

  • Music disappeared and itunes wont work!!

    Hi,
    My ipod today decided not to allow me to listen to any music and reckon that there are no music files. Fair enough. But when I go to put the music back on using itunes, itunes freezes and does nothing!
    I checked the about section on the ipod and it says 60 odd gig is used but instead of being the usual mix of music pictures and video, it shows completely as other!
    Any help?

  • Copying Music Files and iTunes Playlists Onto New Computer

    I just received my new MacBook Pro and am going to need to copy my music files, iTunes playlists, etc. from my existing PC to my new MacBook Pro. Can anyone recommend some good/definitive articles or posts on how to do this seamlessly?
    One thing I should note is that while I keep a lot of my music in my iTunes folder, I also keep a lot of it in other folders on my hard drive, and I'd strongly prefer to maintain this file organization. I'm hoping this won't cause any issues with the transition. I also really, really, really hope I'm able to cleanly transition my playlists without having to manually recreate anything, as I have hundreds of playlists that I've spent literally thousands of hours curating!
    Thanks in advance,
    Alex

    if i were you, i would move my complete library to the Mac first. you can easily move content to different locations later on. please post back if you want to know more.
    my reasons are these:
    1) as the articles i linked above outline, it is not as simple as +drag & drop+ if you want to retain playlists, ratings, etc. when making the move from winsloth to Mac. check this thread for possible problems: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11495714#11495714.
    2) it is generally better to let iTunes do the moving of files. if you do his manually, chances are iTunes will lose track of their location.
    well, you might want to wait and see if another user comes up with a brighter idea
    good luck !
