Can't convert song files in iTunes 6

Yeah, I can't convert files anymore in iTunes 6 when I command click on a song. These isn't any "Convert to AAC" or whatever. Did they remove this options or what?

The option has not been removed. What
b do
you see in the contextual menu? What are your import prefs set to? If, for example, your import prefs are set to MP3 then you will see "convert to MP3" in the menu, not AAC.
Check your import prefs (iTunes Prefs > Advanced > Importing; for pre-iTunes 6 iTunes Prefs > Importing) first and make sure you've got them set the way you want them to be.

Can't convert song files

Hi,
My Windows crashed and I'm currently running on Linux, which doesn't support iTunes and won't play the songs I previously downloaded from iTunes. I've tried every sound converter accepted by Linux and none can convert the songs from the m4p to mp3 files. They keep creating new files called mp3 that are actually empty. I've looked at every Linux forum board, asked iTunes support repeatedly and I'm getting nowhere.
Can anyone offer any advice?

I have another potential solution:
Songbird
It's essentially a Media Play built on the Mozilla[Firefox] engine, which means it can run on Windows/Linux/Mac. It supports the iPod and AAC files as well as Windows Fairplay DRM and pretty much any media file you want to throw at it. Since its built off Firefox you can get add ons for it [called feathers], to get even more functionality out of it. Plus it's simple and pretty, like iTunes. And its free.
Only problem: the official release is still in Beta [0.7], but they do have a 1.0 Release Candidate 2 release as well, and they are progressing through releases VERY quickly, and they have pretty good support unlike iTunes sometimes idiot staff.
To check out the 0.7 Beta Release:

For 1.0 Release Candidate 2:

No, I don't work for them. I am getting feed up with iTunes lately either losing my library partially or fully, and the update to 8.0.1.11 corrupting the iTunes.xml file, and again, losing half my library. Re-importing and rating ALL of my songs (23,167 [148.27 GB]) *****. Hard.
Check it out. It looks almost dead on iTunes, and they have some pretty good add-ons. I'm upping from 0.7 to RC1 after I post this. Let me know how it works for you, because I haven't used it on Linux. Plus, I might be able to help with some other solution if this doesn't do the trick.
Remember though, if you have problems, try to report it to the staff, because they need that info to fix it. They have a feedback section for problems.

How do I convert AIFF song files in iTunes to ACC files to fit iPod?

How do I convert AIFF song files in iTunes to ACC files to fit iPod? My AIFF files are appartently bigger per song than ACC files. How do I convert an AIFF song or playlist in iTunes to ACC files so they take up less room. Right now I can only fit 50 songs as opposed to 500 songs. The songs are already in iTunes as AIFF files. Most of the songs I inport are original songs from CD's that are already AIFF files. How do I convert them when going into my iPod?

Thank you so much! I now know how to convert AIFF audio files to ACC files, and I can keep the original AIFF file! One other concern though -- how do I tell which is the bigger AIFF file and which is the new smaller ACC file? iTunes doesn't have an obvious place/window that tells me the audio file size. Is there a way to tell the two apart. It looks like it creates an identical file name, not even a "copy" extension or anything -- so it's impossible to tell them apart. Is there another secret here?

I can't do it that way. I erase these songs from the iTunes Library, but when I sycronize the iPhone, all these songs are copied again to the Library. Isn't there any way to stop that? Everything I buy on iTunes Store through my iPhone cannot be erased from the iPhone?
WHY can't you do it the way 100 million people do it?

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 export songs from my iTunes to a mail program or laptop?

How can I export songs from my iTunes to a mail program/computer? The songs in question are originals composed by my boyfriend in Garage Band. We have full rights to them, but they import into iTunes like all the other artists songs. His hard drive crashed and I have the only copies. I have no access to my iMac for 2 months while we tour our show and we need them on the tour. We are in dire straights if we can not access these songs and the iPad will not hook up to our equipment. Plus we need to add a track to a promotional video. So how can we access our own music?
Thanks.

If they are in the iPad's Music app then the only way to get them out of it is by connecting the iPad to a computer. As they aren't iTunes purchases you won't be able to copy them back to a computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, instead you will need a third-party program on the computer to copy them off - there are some listed half-way down this page which should work: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

Converting MOV file to iTunes file

On my MacBook Pro, I have been converting MOV files to iTunes files. Suddenly, however, this won't work. I get the following message: Can’t make file "Macintosh HD:private:var:folders:Al:AlJFXwbEEgqKI3EA0xH26
TI:-Tmp- How can I fix this?

With the MOV file on my desktop, I click it open, then click on the icon that is a square with an arrow coming out of it. This gives me the option to convert the file so it can be viewable on iTunes, Mobile me gallery, or Youtube. If I chose iTunes, previous MOV files I have converted this way appear to have been converted to m4v files for iPhone or iPod.
Now when I click on the iTunes option, I get the "Can't make file" message.

Convert Video files in iTunes but no Audio after converting

Hy, do somebody know what is the matter if i want convert Video files in iTunes (8.01) but after converting the files don't have any audio but i can see the movie perfect in iTunes and on ATV ????

Your likely using muxed video such as mpeg1/mpeg2, which is capable of being played back in QT (with the QT mpeg2 playback component in the case of mpeg2 source video) but not able to be converted.
I could well guess which software you should use to undertake your conversions but it would be better if you could provide details of our source video so that we can suggest an appropriate workflow based on that information.
You can use the Inspector window in QT to see this information.

IPod touch can't synch .mov files with iTunes.

My iPod touch can't synch .mov files with iTunes. The error message says that the files were not transfered because they can't be read on my device. I'm not able to transfer any mp4 files, either. These are my own short animations, small files (under 2MB). Home sharing is on. I'm trying to synch with the latest version of iTunes on a Windows 7 64-bit machine. Thanks.

See:
iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
iTunes: Frequently asked questions about viewing and syncing videos
Yo may have to use a third-party computer program like HandBrake to convert the format to one compatible withthe iPod

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,
David

how can i convert video files from my mac to watch them on my iphone?, how can i convert video files to watch them on my iphone?

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 put songs from my itunes on my computer onto my iphone

how can i put songs from my itunes on my computer onto my iphone?
The newest version of itunes seems to be a little more difficult to do this than past versions. I plug in my iphone to my computer and it does not allow me to "drag" songs into my iphone option anymore. Help!
The songs I am trying to get on my iphone are from CDs that I have purchased outside of the itunes store. Can I not put those on my iphone anymore?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Select the phone in the device list in iTunes, navigate to the music tab, check the music you want iTunes to sync with your phone, click the apply/sync button.
