Can't convert music file

I purchased a song on I-tunes that I want to import into my FCE HD project but am not able to convert to AIFF in order to do so. In I Tunes (7) I go to preferences>advanced>importing>import using AIFF encoder>Custom:48.000 kHz, 16bit, stereo. When I then try to convert the selected tune I get the message "cannot be converted because protected files cannot be converted to other formats".
Also tried to bring directly into FCE browser and convert into either an AIFF or WAVE file from within
which appears to work until I drag to timeline to play -- without any results. I've converted I-tunes files in the past with success (although in older version of FCE) but can't figure out how to make it work this time around. Any thoughts? Just to clarify, my objective is to get the tune into FCE timeline regardless of the best method.

Ukey,
Songs you purchase from iTunes are copyrighted and protected with DRM. The terms of the iTunes Service Agreement you accepted when you signed up for iTunes do not alllow you to use iTunes purchased songs this way.

  • Converting Music files to bookmarkable Audio Books

    Converting Music files to bookmarkable Audio Books.
    It seems there are plenty of hacks out there but I have a real life and can't really be bothered with burning a CD with ACC files, etc. or anything else that takes more than half a minute. All I'd really like to do is highlight, click and drop the "music files" into the "Audio Book" library. Is there a simple way to do this? -And for that matter does Apple have a valid reason why this doesn't seem to be consumer friendly?

    Thanks,-This looks like just what the Dr. ordered, :? (Oy, no smileys on this forum?!) Unfortunately I made the somewhat misguided decision a few years ago to buy a pc (+ the 2+ grand of software) -OK, long story short; I need the windows xp equivalent of this script and couldn't find it in any of the sub-links. -But full marks to you for effort!

    how would i be able to convert music files, like wma to mp3 on my mac

    If the music was just purchased on the iPod from iTunes Store, then sync with iTunes. You will be prompted to transfer purchased items to iTunes. You can also re-download prior purchases directly in iTunes: Download past purchases.
    Otherwise, you will need a third-party utility for the chore such as Pod To Mac or Pod To PC.

  • HT1550 Can i Convert my files that are F00...F49

    Can I convert my files that are F00...F49  to look like the rest of my file (had a computer crash,,,use ipod to get my music back in itunes)
    Some file are song titles/albums ect     others are F00..F49
    they appear  this way in my backup files

    F00..F49 are the names of the folders of media content on the iPod. Inside will be a bunch of files with four letter names. As long as they're not .wav files it should be possible to recover them and reconstruct the core of the library from the embedded tags.
    See the iLounge link near the bottom of Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.

  • How can I convert multiple files at one time and not one at a time

    How can I convert multiple files at one time and not one at a time

    Hi Plissey1950,
    Sorry for the lengthy delay to a response.  Are you trying to convert multiple files to individual PDF files at the same time? (not combine them).  If so, you'll need to use Adobe Acrobat for this function. The CreatePDF service does not have the ability to convert multiple files to multiple individual PDF files.
    Thanks,

    Turns out the answer to that question changes if you ask it more than 4 times, so ask it again....
    The answer depends on the type of video files you want to convert.  If they are DRM protected commercial videos, no help can be given here.  Google.

  • How can I convert MPEG files (stored on a PC) to use in iMovie on my Macbook Pro?

    How can I convert MPEG files (stored on a PC) to use in iMovie on my Macbook Pro?

    Get a free app called MPEG Streamclip.
    Available here.
    http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-mac.html
    Drag your clip or clips into MPEG Streamclip. Then use FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME to export the clips in Apple Intermediate Codec.
    Sometimes, MPEG2 clips also require that you install the Apple QuickTime MPEG2 Playback Component. MPEG Streamclip will tell you if you need this. This is available from Apple for $20.

    As has been mentioned Adobe Reader cannot export PDF page content. Nor can it create PDF or manipulate PDF page content.
    What you can do is use one of Adobe's online subscription services. Two provide for PDF  to Word export.
    There's ExportPDF and PDF Pack.

  • How can I convert .swf  file to exe file?

    thanks

    Hi
    Thank for your choise.
    If showing only white screen, please download the lastest version, v2.03.
    http://www.bullrushsoft.com/download.html
    This problem occurs in Win7 sp1, especially IE has been upgraded to v10.
    Our SWF to EXE Converter must need the FlashPlayer plugin for IE, it 's not a atandalone program.
    So it only 880KB.
    Our online converter is the adobe flash player exe, it can be embed the swf  into, and standalone, so its size > 4MB.
    More details, please visit http://www.bullrushsoft.com/online.html

  • How Can I convert Freehand files in Illustrator CC?

    I have a new IMac on OS X Mavericks.  I am to to the CC level.  I have 25 years of Freehand files that I need access to.  How can I convert these files to get them open in CC.  Thanks

    Skiman, Monika, WJT,
    These are my findings:
    Access through CC goes no further back than CS6, and there seems to be no plan to change that.
    This means that it is necessary to have or acquire a licence to get access to an older version.
    Adobe has started setting up a set of pages for downloading older versions (requiring  a licence) here, so far covering CS6 and CS5.5:
    https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install.html
    http://www.adobe.com/downloads/other-downloads.html
    Until (even) older versions are added, this thread made by staff about downloading the old stuff, with its reference to the Prodesign Tools page is recommended:

    The last link goes back to CS3.

  • How do I Convert Music Files to .Was or AIFF?

    I want to burn a CD that will play on an regular CD player. How can I convert the file format of songs in my iTunes to a format that will work on such a CD player?

    This is how you create audio CDs. If it's not working then there can be a few reasons why it's not.
    burned the disk choosing "Audio CD" and the resulting CD would not play in a "regular" CD player.
    Does this "regular CD player" play CD-R? Have you played other burned CDs in it?
    Have you tried this burned CD in a different CD player? Pop it in a DVD player and see if it works.
    Does this CD play in iTunes?
    Are there any other suggestions?
    Try to burn at a slower speed.
    Try different discs.
