Adobe CS6 and m4a files

Adobe CS6 opens and edits m4a files on my Mac like a champ.  When I try to do the same on my PC, all kinds of error screens.  What gives?
Any simple solutions?
Thank you.   

I don't know what the exactly correct answer is (there may not be one), but this is all going to be down to codecs on the PC version. M4a is something that Macs handle inherently, and the codec for turning them into wav files and back again (this is the only file type that Audition handles) is part of Core Audio. Same does not apply to PCs, unfortunately. I think that the provision has been improved in CC, but it has also been suggested that unfortunately, the best way of handling this is to use an external converter...

  • Why are my mp3's and m4a files no longer recognized?

    All of a sudden, 95% of the 10,000 music tracks in my iTunes Library has become unplayable. It concerns mp3 and m4a files with music that I purchased and ripped over the years. Wifi syncing to my iPhone 4s made it worse: now the Music app on my iPhone won't play them either.
    All tracks added before Mid September 2012 are dead. They can be seen in the library and metadata can be read in iTunes. But when I click on the file, nothing happens. Newer files do play normally, though. MP3's that were not located in the iTunes library also still are playable.
    I tried opening the files with VLC player, Quicktime and even on a windows machine. All I get is a message that songitle.mp3 cannot be played because it's format is not recognised.
    It has been over a week since I first noticed the problem and I spend many late hours. What is going on? Has Spotlight messed with my music's metadata? Is Apple denying me access to my own files? HELP!
    What I tried:
    - restore files from Time Machine backup: same problem
    - play files on other machines: same problem
    - repair a file with MP3 Scan+Repair. It says: ERROR: Unknown file format!
    - decrypt HD by disabling FileVault: no improvement and Time Machine won't work anymore (Stupid)
    - do a fresh install of Mountain Lion: no improvement
    - restore files from Carbon Copy Clone: same problem (has Spotlight done this while indexing the external HDD?
    - boot from the Carbon Copy Clone (turned out impossible due to the Verbatim external drive that won't boot-should have tested that before I ran into trouble )
    - find solutions in apple discussions, google etc for almost ten days: no solution

    You're welcome: I am happy you are thinking along.
    We may me on to something: I could not access my account on Sep 11 and did a restore from TM. It did not go too smoothly, but it worked. That's when I decided to pick up the habit of making carbon clone copies again.
    Now if something would have been wrong with the songs in the iTunes/Music folder, it must have been copied just as wrong to the carbon clone. Hence the reason why my backed up songs won't play. So you could be right that the files were probably messed up Mid September and not just two weeks ago.
    But why haven't I noticed it before? Probably because all the music I like to hear is in my iPhone, that apperently doesn't do to many wifi syncing? It is strange though that for two months I could still play the music on my iPhone.
    What did happen just before I could not play them anymore, was the iOS update to 6.0.1. My phone's battery was draining fast and it became hot. Maybe the phone's Spotlight had to re-index? I don't know.
    FV was there since Jan, when I set up this machine. I did not run some kind of utility particularly on my music files.
    I think you are wise to stick to your OS version as long as it works well. Upgrading usually comes with some issues.
    About my setup:
    I started out on another MBP (mid 2009) with 10.5. Upgraded to 10.6 then to 10.7. Had some kernel panic issues, but solved them.The machine got stolen in January and I got my current MBP (late 2011) with 10.7 on it that I upgraded to 10.8 this summer. I started using FV in Jan with the new machine. The theft made me wonder if I shouldn't be more Utilities I use ever so infrequently:
    Onyx
    Drive Genius
    ClamAV
    Carbon Copy Cloner.
    Syncing/Backup takes place to
    Time Machine (full drive)
    iCloud (limited data)
    SugarSync (limited data)
    Dropbox (limited data)
    Google Drive (limited data)
    Carbon Copy Cloner (full drive)
    Other things:
    I put a hardware password on my laptop and a use Prey tracking software (not that it helped me to find back my old laptop btw)
    I can't remember what utility I was running at the time of the lockout in September. Maybe there was something like Drive Genius running when I had to close my MBP and leave. But since the music on my TM has the same problem, the whole lockout may not be the reason of the corrupted songs.
    Perhaps I should just accept my losses. I found an older backup with the oldest 90% of the songs that work. It's just that I am curious to know what went wrong to keep it from happening again.
    About moving to another forum: what do you think would be the best choice?  OS X Mountain Lion?

  • Walkman app not showing my downloaded podcast mp3 and m4a files

    Hi all,
    Hope someone can help me with an Issue on my Z3 Compact running Lollipop 5.0.2 firmware.
    I have a Music folder on my SDCard which contains all my music files in subfolders and all these files appear in the Walkman app just fine.
    I also have two folders called 'Podcasts' - one on the internal storage and one on the SDCard which contain mp3 and m4a files which I have downloaded using 3rd party apps.
    I would like to listen to these podcast files using the Walkman app - but they will not appear in Walkman - even if I try the Folders options.but it still will not show either of the Podcast folders.
    The weird thing is it lists voices and sounds / voices rom two different SatNav folders which are stored on the SDCard - but not the podcast folders!!
    It even lists a folder of foreign language audio mp3 files - but not the podcast files.
    The podcast files appear fine in PowerAmp whic even shows the tags and descriptions etc....So, why not Walkman?
    I even tried unmounting and re-mounting the SDCard to see if it would rescan - but still nothing.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Ask in the ID forum and be much more specific about your configuration. there could be any number of reasons why manifests, temp files or restore files are created.

  • Which is more important for Adobe CS6 and FCX on imac? Processor or Graphics Card?

    Hi, I want to get the new 27" imac when it comes out this December. It will be my first mac although I have both an iPhone and iPad. I'm and artist and aspiring filmmaker and want to run Adobe CS6 and Final Cut Pro on it. I'm looking at the highest 27" but have limited funds for additional upgrades. Apart from RAM, what would i be better off upgrading on the imac? Going from the i5 to the i7? or going for the GTX 680mx Graphics card with 2gb of memory? or going for the 1TB Fusion drive? If you could only pick one or possibly 2, which would be the best to choose for video and graphics on the programs I mentioned? (I'm not into gaming, so performance on that front is of no concern to me)

    I don't have CS6...
    1) I would max out the video card. FCP X and Motion 5 uses the GPU over the CPU for processing power. Once you buy your new iMac you can't upgrade this...
    2) FCP X and Motion 5 will use all the ram you can throw at it. I have 16 GB of ram and both programs at times uses all 16 GB of ram. I really should bump up my ram to 32 GB. I would say 16 GB is the minimum for video.
    3) The processor would be last on my list. Computers are really fast even with an i5 processor. Once you buy your new iMac you can't upgrade this...
    This is the iMac I bought last year:
    27" iMc mid-2011
    3.4GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7
    16GB 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM - 4x4GB
    2TB Serial ATA Drive + 256GB Solid State Drive

  • Unable to import mp3 and m4a files

    I have mp3 and m4a files that I'm trying to import into iTunes (and then add to my iPad). When I try to add them, I see a very quick "Processing Album Artwork" and then nothing happens.
    The files work on the PSP I'm getting them from, on VLC on the Mac, and on Google Music Beta. (In fact, Google Music automatically uploaded them from the iTunes library.)
    Searching for advice found years-old threads on various Mac support sites suggesting that I repair the files using "MP3 Scan+Repair," but that utility didn't find anything wrong with the files. I tried rebuilding a few of the files anyway, but to no avail.
    The files are not DRMed; they were originally ripped from CDs I own, mostly using iTunes. (This was done at least 2-3 years ago.)

    My problem seems to have randomly resolved itself. I went and imported a couple of files on a new playlist, and they appeared with tags and everything. Then I tried importing the rest just by dragging the folder into "Music," and it appeared perfectly fine.
    So, I don't think this was the issue since the tags worked fine today, but I'm good now!

  • Difference between AAC and m4a files, converting from AAC to useable format

    Does anyone know the difference between AAC and m4a files? iTunes has an option to use an AAC encoder to compress CD files, but this creates an m4a file not an AAC file. I just got some actual AAC files and iTunes cannot read these, is there a way to convert from AAC to a format that iTunes recognizes? Thanks

    iTunes uses AAC data wrapped in an MPEG 4 container file. If you got some *.AAC files, and they're just raw AAC files, then you need to wrap them in an MPEG 4 container. The only way I know to do this is using the foobar 2000 program. You can find more information at http://www.hydrogenaudio.org and http://www.foobar2000.org

  • Can i use Adobe CS6 and Autodesk in iMac 21 inch?

    First, I'm a student.
    I consider to buy a iMac these few week
    I am confused to choose the suitable one
    iMac 21" i read the specification, it showed 5400rpm, 512mb display
    but the Adobe website said CS6 NEED 7200rpm and recommand 1gb display
    Unfortunate, 21" is my limited
    and i think Fusion Drive can solve it or not?
    how can i change display card with a iMac?
    Please help me.

    Hello Vincent,
    You can't change the Video card in the 21" iMac at all, & on the 27" you can only opt for a better Video at time of ordering.
    Fusion drive will overcome muxh of the 7200 RPM requirement.

  • Managing fonts in Adobe CS6 and Windows 7

    Previously I had students add their fonts to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts. This worked well. I gave them write access to this folder and they would drag their fonts into this folder and they would be available to all products from the Creative Suite. This was when our school was on CS5.5 and Windows XP.
    Over the weekend we reimaged the machines to have Windows 7 (64-bit) and CS6. Students can no longer add fonts to Adobe, as I am unsure of where the fonts folder is. They also cannot add fonts system wide, as they are not given admin access to these folders (which makes sense). I have tried to add fonts to the folder found at "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Fonts" but this does not make the font available to Adobe CS6 applications.
    Is there a way to have fonts added to Adobe? I know that there are manny different applications that can manage fonts; can the Adobe forum users recommend one? I don't want students to be able to affect system wide fonts. I have dealt with the repercussions of giving students access to the Windows fonts folder.
    Help in this would be greatly appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Blake

    I have been hodling off upgrading to CS4 for a year now, since Adobe has not make any statements about Windows 7 support.  If adobe has release some statements, can someone point me to the statement?
    http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/faq/ See "Support for Windows 7"
    What is the possible release schedule for CS5, I am thinking May 2010?
    That's as good as anyone else's guess.
    CS: Sep 2003
    CS2: April 2005 (19 months)
    CS3: April 2007 (24 months)
    CS4: Oct 2008 (19 months)
    CS5:  May 2010 would be 19 months - but only Adobe knows the real date.

  • Adobe CS6 and Retina iMac

    Hi
    Has anybody had any experience of the Adobe CS6 Creative Suite package and it's compatibility with the new Retina iMac?
    Any advice would be gratefully received.
    Regs
    K

    Here is what I have:
    MacBook Pro Retina 15-inch (late 2013)
    Mac OS 10.9.5 (also have 10.10 partitions on this system)
    PrPro CS6 (v. 6.0.5 - 001)
    as well as AI, Br, Au, ID, Pl, PS CS6 and several others (basically , the CS6 collection + Acrobat, but not Lightroom
    So we're close enough in setup to be reasonably sure that it's not specific to that. At this point I recommend going through this basic list of troubleshooting steps, if you have not already:
    Sign out from Creative Cloud, restart Premiere Pro, then sign in
    Update any GPU drivers
    Trash preferences
    Ensure Adobe preference files are set to read/write
    Delete media cache
    Remove plug-ins
    If you have AMD GPUs, make sure CUDA is not installed
    Repair permissions
    In Sequence Settings > Video Previews, change the codec to one that matches your footage
    Disconnect any third party hardware
    Reboot

  • After Effects CS6 and mxf files

    Was playing around with the Demo for CS6 and discovered to my dismay that I can't import xdcam .mxf files that I am able to import with CS5.5.  What is up with that?

    CaliPVP and others:
    I'm having the same problem, running AE CS6 on Windows 7 Professional.  When trying to import .MXF footage from my Raid 0 Array (footage that previously worked perfectly in AE CS5.5), AE will crash unexpectedly.  Coping that same footage over the My Documents directory on the C: drive - footage imports just fine, AE works as expected.  I did open a case within Adobe Support, but they haven't been able to track down a cause - or a solution.
    I have recently upgraded to a new editing computer, so getting AE 6 to natively import .MXF is now a priority for me.  When I research the issue, the directory structure on the Raid Array shows a Attribute of Read-Only on my ingest directory.  I just found this link from the Microsoft Support site
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/326549
    that discusses how to change the attributes of a Folder / SubFolder.  Fair warning - I haven't yet tried this today, but will try it later on and report my results.

  • Find filter problem with Adobe CS6 and Mavericks

    Hi to all!
    I've 2 new MacPro with OSX 10.9 (is no possible to downgrade) with Adobe Illustrator CS6 and all software are full updated at the last version.
    Firs of all I've found a problem after a last firmware update of my 2 MacPro, in samba connection, solved by AFP implement; in detail:
    I've a Qnap storage with samba and afp shares, so when I connect the samba share the search function in finder not find any, but if I connect the same share via AFP protocol, all works good.
    Ok, it's a problem but no so bad for me because I've the possibility to use AFP ;-)
    Ok, now the big problem:
    when I use the CS5 Illustrator and I execute the "insert" command, the search window show blank screen in the search area if I select a qnap sared folder (AFP or SAMBA shared get the same result, 0 element found)
    After many and many tests I've solved with a workaround: I've forced the Finder to index the shared folder (from the command line in the console) and in this case I've no more problem...
    The problem affect only the afp and samba share, with the local folder (volumes) I don't have any problem.
    So, I can't downgrade Maveriks, and I'm sure the problem is not of CS6... then my only solution is to wait a future update of Mavericks?! or anyone can suggest me a solution?
    Thank you for any reply.

    As for Photoshop CS6 itself, I have no issues running
    it on Mavericks on my 2011 Mini Server.
    Also, before upgrading, make sure any drivers for third
    party hardware are up to date and compatible with Mavericks.
