Can no longer listen to low-quality WAV files

I have used iTunes to organize and listen to voice files recorded on portable digital recorders and cameras, but today discovered that they no longer work. Furthermore I can no longer import these files, with no error message. Should I look to replace iTunes with other software? Install Windows?

I am having the same trouble. It started with the iTunes 8.1 update. What I've found is that you can solve this with a work around, it is not pretty, but it does work. The very strange thing is that Quicktime plays them fine and Quickview plays them fine(my guess is it is using Quicktime to play them).
Basically use another program to convert your WAV files to MP3 format. Then you can import them into iTunes.
This is a good one(open source and allows for editing the sound files)

HT204053 I have purchases under an expired AOL account and very old Mac that I can no longer listen to on current versions of iTunes. Previous version of iTunes accepted the music and allowed me to sync it to my iPod. What do I do?

I have purchases under an expired AOL account and very old Mac that I can no longer listen to on current versions of iTunes. Previous version of iTunes accepted the music. Now, I have a group of songs that will not sync to my iPod because it is associated with the old AOL account. What do I do?

If you have an iBook G4, (PPC) you can't do much.
But if that is a MacBook (intel) you may be able to
upgrade the OS X, if the hardware is up to it...
Since there were about nine different build models
of MacBook (not powerpc iBook) to identify what
one you have would be the first step to knowing
what OS X and RAM upgrades it could use.
If the computer is not already at OS X 10.6.8,
it can't go online to get or use OS X 10.7.5. So,
when you more accurately describe the 'Book,
detailed information is available.
When you find the serial number, there is a web
page that can be used to identify by serial no.
http://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php
That'd be a first step. Or even the Model number
which should be visible on the outer case by hinge.
Good luck & happy computing!

Can a Mac Book Pro playback 96K WAV files?

Trying to listen to a 96K WAV file through the headphone output of a 2009 Mac Book Pro. Does anyone know if that is possible?

96K 24 bit. I can play it back on my audio interface but I'm trying to find out if someone without an interface can hear an accurate version of a stereo song mix at that resolution.

Can I add an extra lower quality music library to iTunes for iPhone syncin?

Hi
I currently have my whole iTunes library in Apple Lossless format as I like the high quality for my AppleTV and don't mind the extra HD space it takes up. However, it means that the files are really too big for the limited 8GB capacity of my new iPhone.
Question - can I set up a seperate area/seperate Music Library/seperate folder (whatever), where I can duplicate my entire current iTunes Music Library at a lower quality setting, specifically for use when syncing to my iPhone?
1. How would I duplicate to a lower quality?
2. How do I set up a seperate area for these lower quality files that will sync to iPhone?
3. Could I automate the CD ripping process so that it placed a file in each of the seperate areas (big ask that one)?
Kind regards,
Garglon

1. Go to iTunes Preferences>Advanced>Importing
Select Import using <AAC encoder> Setting <Custom>
Select the music you want to duplicate and add it to a playlist so its easier to find
Select all music to duplicate again right click and select Convert Selection to AAC
2. Close iTunes. Open iTunes holding the option key
It will ask you if you want to create a new library or open an existing one. Select create library
Add the new lower quality songs to the library
You can add the original songs first to this new library >>> then convert >>> and after the conversion remove the original songs from the library(just from the library do not move them to trash)
You can also just create a new playlist with the lower quality songs but then you would have duplicates in your library
3 You would have to import the songs from the CD twice
a. Once in the good quality library(by changing the import settings back from the low quality)
b. Then open the new library change the import settings and import again
An easy way to find the newly created files is adding a new smart playlist with the rules:
Playlist is Music
Limit to <how many songs you are duplicating> <items> selected by <most recently added>

I can no longer listen to my favourite radio station online since I upgraded to Firefox 4.

I have been listening to Vision FM (Australia) online and also Premier Christian Radio (UK). Since I upgraded to Firefox 4 I can no longer get the streaming.
Please walk me through the process so that it can be resolved. I am not very computer literate so need step by step instructions.

there should be an X on the right side of each tab. clicking on it should close that tab

Why I can no longer save edited images as jpeg file in CS6?

When the save dialog box appears, under Save Options and next to Layers there is a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark showing the Layers are not saved. My images are 72 dpi, I have changed screen resolution and no result.I have the image set to RGB colors and 8 bits/channel. Anybody else has experienced this?(It saves it fine in psd, though).Help!!

Ok, you need to know what you want to do with your image. For example if it's for the web the best way to save to jpg is.. File-Save for Web, then you will see a Box with four pages,, you can choose: Original which is going to be your original image,... Optimized which is a Lower quality version. 2-Up and 4-Up.
when you click on 4-Up Tab you see your original image in the top left, Also you have your image in 3 different windows with different file size and speed. You can click on each window and inside the Preset in Top right choose JPEG. and you can change the quality from Low to High or Drag the Quality Slider for different quality.
NOTE: when you do File-Save For Web,, you are going to have a flatten Image.. you will loose your Layers.
It is always better if you shoot your images In higher Res, such as 240, or 300 dpi, and later Down-sample the image to a lower quality for the web. If you have the original image at Higher Res, First you should Go to Image Image-size For Example Height 1200 Pixel. If you go ahead and save the file for the web then you don't need to change the Resolution. don't forget to Sharpen your image when you Down-sample

Audio Quality WAV Files

Hi,
I´m new to Adobe Audition 3.0 and I have a question concerning the audio quality.
My original format is wav (uncompressed).
When I edit my wav audio files and save them and open them again, edit them, and save them again. My question: Is there any loss in quality?
Marcus

Not as long as you stick with .wav and at Auditions default bit depth of 32 bits. Even if you start with 16 or 24 bit always remain with 32 until the last step if you require 16 or 24 bits to be used in the final output file.

Just upgraded to Lion and can no longer import any .mov files ("file not supported") to 3.1.3. Also can no longer view any .mov or .mp4 files already in library.

Have been using Aperture 3.1.3 with no problems. Importing from a Nikon D80 (RAW & JPEG), Casio (.MOV) and Flip (.mp4). Could import and view all videos without issue prior to Lion upgrade. After Lion installation, can no longer import .mov files (get "file not supported" error) or even view any .mov or .mp4 files currently in library (even though thumbnail is present). Can watch the .mov files directly on my camera using Quicktime in Finder but can't even drag & drop that file into Aperture. Anybody else having similar problems?

Still no resolution and Geniuses at store could not assist. Unfortunately, it looks like not all the applications were ready to support the Lion operating system. We could not import any .mov files, could no longer view any .mov files already in my Aperture library and could not email any .mov files. Totally frustrated. Use Aperture almost daily and can't lose the video functionality. Was also running dog-slow. Constantly looking at the spinning wheel. Geniuses suggested that I wipe out hard drive and reinstall Snow Leopard. Had full backup on external drive with Time Machine.
Not an easy process though...had to reinstall several times (at 5 hours each time) because I continued to have issues. Finally figured out that I needed to delete every backup file from Time Machine on external drive from the date I installed Lion because some of the hidden files were still migrating back to Snow Leopard.
I had to:
1. Delete all time machine backup files from date/time of Lion installation forward
2. Do "clean" installation of Snow Leopard (wiped hard drive using disk utility and booted with Snow Leopard disc)
3. Chose option to reinstall from backup off Time Machine which eventually got me back to Snow Leopard desktop
4. Deleted Aperture program and reinstalled (I had to install Aperture 2 and then install Aperture 3 upgrade.
5. Reinstalled iLife apps
5. Applied all Apple updates available (again this took a few hours because there were several updates from Snow Leopard's original release plus Aperture 3 and other application updates)
Still doing some tweaking on some of my other apps but got everything back to where I originally was. Now plan to wait on a few version updates from Lion before reinstalling.
I am one of Apple's biggest fans, but was very disappointed in the fact that I lost functionality in one of their own pieces of software (which I use the most!) by installing Lion.

Can no longer save email messages to my files

Before upgrading to Mavericks, I could open an email message from a client, click Save As, select a folder, then save the message as a text file to the appropriate folder on my hard drive. It seems I can no longer do that. I always get a Mail error message saying "Names longer than 31 characters are not supported on the destination volume."(Even when the name is already shorter than that, I go through the exercise of shortening it.) After doing that, I click Save. Then I get an error saying "Error: Could not save to path...." which, incidentally, goes haywire part of the way through and takes it down a path that is a completely wrong folder for another client. Regardless, it doesn't save.
I've tried completely renaming the file. I've tried everything I can think of.
This used to be SO SIMPLE: Just click Save As, select the appropriate folder, then click Save.
In Mavericks, do I need to convert this email message into a Word document in order to save it to a folder?

Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folders. In OS X 10.9 there are two sandboxes, while in 10.8 there is only one. If you're running a version older than 10.8, this comment isn't applicable.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder—not just its contents—to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Log out and log back in. Launch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window.
This action will delete any custom Mail stationery that you have created. If you want to preserve it, ask for instructions.
If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Repeat with this line:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.MailServiceAgent
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

I can no longer save emails or documents to file. How do I restore that function withoutrestoring to a previous date, which as I understand it might dele te all changes I have made to software subsequent to the restoration date?

When I hit "save as" and view the field that comes up, it does not give me the option any longer of saving to my personal file. This problem started a few days ago, when it took me into my personal files and allowed me to select a specific folder to save the document in, but no longer gave me the option of hitting "save" into that file folder. I know that I have made changes in trying to correct the original problem, but now I don't know how to get back to where I was before.no longer

Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
Anyways I digress.
So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.
Answers in a postcard :-)
Much love

After udating my IPhone 4 to iOS 7 I can no longer find photos in the IPhone file on my computer when connected

IMac can no longer open .jpg .jpeg & other media files sent from PC?

I can no longer open .jpg photos & media files sent to my iMac from my wife's PC through Outlook email. I get an error message saying the item cannot be opened. All other recipients have no trouble opening these attachments. We have tried numerous fixes suggested by Apple chat sites but to no avail. I suspect an OS update around December 2010 has caused this problem on not just our machine but thousands of other iMac users & Apple is ignoring it. Why isn't Apple addressing this huge issue?

Likely, because there are millions of Mac users, and not everyone is experiencing this issue. Until it happens to all Mac users with a specific system, it will be very difficult to isolate the cause.
You can sign up for a free online developer account:
http://developer.apple.com/
And you can post here your bug report:
http://bugreporter.apple.com/
Attachments may need to be encoded a specific way with Outlook to be readable by Mac OS X Mail.
You can also try reading those messages with Thunderbird, or another Mac e-mail client. To find other Mac e-mail clients, search the software search engines here*:

I have recently got an iPad 2, I can no longer view/edit my Sony .ARW files in iPhoto, why?

I suspect that the problem is associated with iPad 2 and my sychronisation of iPhoto events to that device.
I can no longer a single photo such that I can edit it, what is going wrong here?
Actually I have closed down iPhoto and reopened, strange, I can now access and edit the photos!
Ther is a problem but I am damned if I know what is causing it. Nowt in console as far as I can see.

Looks like you no longer have a problem.

After the resent sys update to Elipsis 7 KitKat, I can no longer add, rename, move, copy, create files or folders to my SD. What's up with that?

Updated sys to Kit Kat as recommended by Verizon. Now I can no longer add, move, copy, create files or folders to SD card. What's up with that?

There is no such thing as a stupid question. With Kitkat you are very limited in what you can do on the sd card, an app can write to its own folder on the sd card only, here is a little more info here How to bypass Android 4.4 (KitKat) external SD write restrictions without root
You are basically restricted to writing to a single folder per app on the sd card. The other option is to move things by connecting your device to a computer and using it.
