A friend gave me a a number of playlists in a wma format. Can't import into itunes library or convert. Any suggestions?

Switch (free basic version) - http://www.nch.com.au/switch/index.html - I'm not sure if this will do WMA
All2MP3 - http://download.cnet.com/All2MP3/3000-2140_4-190407.html - mixed success with WMA
Flip4mac - need the intermediate payware version which lets you convert. Use with Quicktime player.Flip4Mac - http://dynamic.telestream.net/downloads/download-flip4macwmv.asp?prodid=flip4mac wmv - The free version will let Quicktime play but not convert Windows Media files.
After installation a new Flip4Mac pane will appear in System Preferences. Make sure you set the boxes to ensure that it will play WMV files in Quicktime.

A friend gave me an iPad 1 last week. Messaging works one day and won't work the next. Any suggestions?

Hi,
I have the same problem. I've been trying everything; opening ports, adjusting quicktime streaming preferences...everything discussed in other posts in this forum regarding error -8.
I really hate iChat...I think it's unbeliveble that Apple claims to be so better that Windows, but I never had problems wits MSN video.
But let's try to solve this irritating issue. What kind of messenging software do you have instaled/open when you try to use iChat?
I have Skype installed. When I deinstalled it, everything was working fine (so I thought). Next day the same BS all over again.
I could use skype to videochat, but I have an .mac account and I want to use iChat...the f&^%$*g .mac account is to expensive not to use...And do not forget that iChat AV quality is way better than Skype.
I really hope Apple comes with a solution soon.
Greets from an unhappy iChat user.

A friend gave me her VAIO laptop.How can I remove her ITUNES library and use mine which I want to sync with my Ipad and Iphone?

A Friend gave me her VAIO laptop.How can I remove her ITUNES library and use my library. Want to sync my Ipad and Iphone to My library.

I believe when you plug her old iPhone in to your computer it will notify you that the phone is synced with another library and ask if you want to register it with your library. At least this is how iPods work. I'm not sure about iPhones. If you want to actually use the phone as your own you may need to go through AT&T.
If you're just looking to use the iPhone as an iPod (without the phone portion of it) you may run in to some problems. The iPhone really wants to be on a cell network all the time. I think you'd have to jailbreak it to get it to work properly as an iPod.
Let us know what happens when you plug the phone in to your computer.

Maximum number of photos that can be imported into an iPhoto library?

1. Does iPhoto have a maximum number of files or photos that it can handle in a single library?
I have a lot of photos (20GB) that have not yet been imported into an iPhoto Library. I am going to set up a new library with the iPhoto Library Manager (iPLM), but am wondering if there is a maximum number of files that can be handled in a single library?
2. Also, I don't think I want to import these, since that would create an iPhoto library as large as the source files. Are there any problems if I set up the preferences so that this library will not have the graphics imported into it?
3. With iPLM, can you have different sets of preferences for each library?
Thank you for any advice or suggestions.

1. Does iPhoto have a maximum number of files or photos that it can handle in a single library?
Apple advertises that iPhoto will handle 250,000 photos - I doubt that anyone has come close to that (or will)
I have 19,278 in 237 events - 22 GB - on a G5 iMac and it is snappy with no issues

If you want those should be fine in one library
2. Also, I don't think I want to import these, since that would create an iPhoto library as large as the source files. Are there any problems if I set up the preferences so that this library will not have the graphics imported into it?
It is a choice - if you do NOT import them then you will be responsible for all future management - deleting, etc. Moving to a different location or computer is much more difficult if you reference your photos instead of importing them.
Many people import them, burn the original source photos to CD or DVD and delete them from their disk letting iPhoto manage them
3. With iPLM, can you have different sets of preferences for each library?
I'm not sure but I do not think so

Aperture import plug-in won't run. After examining my library the number of image files stays at "undetermined" and the import button stays greyed out. Any thoughts?

Others have the same issue, with the import button being grayed out. My trail copy expired, but I believe by poking around in the options and selecting another Aperture library and re-selecting, I was able to continue.
The problem is common enough, that hopefully Adobe will address. In the mean time, try repairing your Aperture library, checking permissions, exporting a subset of your library for a test, or try putting that library subset on an external drive. (Can usually avoid permissions issues.)

Iv been locked out of my ipad due to my friend trying my password to many times and it says that i need to log into itunes which i have done and it is still not letting me back into my ipad any suggestions?

Forgotten Passcode or device disabled after entering wrong passcode
If you have Find My iPhone enabled, you can use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
Alternatively, place the device in recovery mode and restore it to erase the device:
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device

My G5 won't boot up. The Gray screen comes on and it thinks about it until the fan revs up like it is about to explode. A friend said to start it up with the OS disk and then go to utilities. Didin't work. Any suggestions? Isn't there a key stroke to help

Oh, so this is where I ask my question. Sorry, first time here. As I was saying in my long intro, the gray screen come up and the thing is spinning at the bottom, but nothing happens. Then the fan starts reving up like it is about to explode and I have to manually shut it off. A friend told me to start it up with the OS disk and then go to utilities. I couldn't find the thing, so I went out and bought another. Needless to say, it didn't work. Is there a key stroke to help jump start the machine? How can I get into this thing? I would prefer not to take it in because there are a lot of things on there I don't want just anyone to have access to.Thanks, in advance, for your help!

The last time you had to hold down cmd opt pr more than twice was a decade ago....

Your drive does need to be repaired, and best things to buy are another backup recovery drive, with a small OS X partition; a copy of Disk Warrior is expensive @ $90 but excellent and best.
Never bother with or use the drive or reinstall while there are errors. Don't take a "clean' bill from Apple Disk Utility to mean there are no errors. Only that it didn't find what it looked for.

Make sure to have multiple backup sets and of your system so if there is a serious problem, you can just erase and restore to be back runninig.
Sounds like your G5 though needs PMU reset, not PRAM, and the best way for those is to clear nvram instead. might even want to check for dust; tell what System Profile says (later) as to "PowerMacX,Y" or "MacProX,1"

The Utility menu is on the menu bar of an "OS X Install DVD" and at the point where you get to but stop at "install....' for OS X. you probably do need to install OS X on another drive to work from.
Oh, a real severe issue and damage to the drive directory or filesystem CAN in cases prevent booting from DVD (the system still tries to find and see what boot volumes are present) and can help to pull or disconnect the drive. Putting a drive in a FW case to turn on after startup is very useful.

I have just got new ipad3 , iTunes has stopped working on my pc so I used my friends pc to set up the iPad . Problem is that when I go into iTunes ,my friends apple ID is the default ID and I can't get into iTunes with my own ID? How can I change default

I want to send about 50 jpeg files to other friends, so they can open them on their smart phones. Any suggestions, please.

I have a file of about 50 jpeg pics that I need to send to many other friends. How can I do that so that they can access them easily on their iPhones (or similar)?
Any suggestions very much appreciated. Ed

Thanks old son, looking good so far. More to come. Ed

My friend gave me her Ipod and when I try and load music to it from my Itunes it says I don't have the privilege to do so. What do I do?

Help please??

When someone complains that their music upload stalls I immediately think of three problems:
1) corrupt song(s)
2) bad cable
3) bad hard drive
The list is actually in reverse order of my expectations. Since you were able to format the drive it obviously hasn't suffered a hard crash but there might be a very large number of bad sectors. Go here to see how to put the iPod into diagnostic mode so you can further check the drive.
If the drive passes muster borrow another cable. And finally, create a playlist and verify that each song is good by playing it. See if it will sync. If it does, add more songs (verified good). Keep repeating.

Can I share my iTunes library with a relative or friend?

Is it possible to share my library with friends and relatives?

If they are on your local network yes.

HT1490 Why are Batteries no longer removable? This option allowed you to just plug in your laptop and save the life of the battery. It also gave the option to have more than one charged battery on hand for camping and back packing trips. Any suggestions?

Also Mountain Lion doesn't have the timer for the the Battery life, only percentage. How can amount of battery time be shown permently?

The removable battery problem is called progress or more accuratety alleged progress. It is cheaper to install a bare battery pack than to provide space for the cased removable variety. More compact and flatter laptop cases need the extra room that a removable battery occupied. It also weighs less with no case. Cooling can be a problem with higher performance options in these crowded environments.
To me the ultra lightness and compactness of the new laptops is of secondary importance compared to performance and reliability.

What is the maximum number of images that can be imported into flash?

I am not able to import images more than 47 or 48. What is the max. images imported?
As the images are sequence images and I need that to use for interactivity for rotation with Action script. So cudn't import as a swf either.
Please do let me know.
Thanks in advance.

You can load the image files into your movie's Library during authoring, or, you can import the image files into your movie at runtime. Either way, your're still using the same memory.
If your movie is designed so that the user will only ever use some of the images, then it may be better to load the files that the user selects at runtime.
In either case, you should optimize the images that you use as much as possible so that you are using the smallest possible file size and still keep the greatest image quality possible.

Is there anyway for apple to locate my ipod touch if i gave them the serial number so that they locate?

I just lost my ipod touch some how i retaced my steps all over but nothing. So i called apple to see why the moblieme.com cant locate it, a supporter said, "the ipod touch is more of a iphone lacking the antenna to be located on a celluar town", so i was hoping that if i gave them a serial number of the ipod touch that they can locate it when its pluged into computer? Can that be done?

As provided, this cannot be done, just as it cannot be done with any other music player/device.
