Can't insert mp3 files into Keynote 6.2.2

I have a Keynote '09 presentation that includes audio (mp3s) and video (mp4s). When I opened the presentation in Keynote 6.2.2, it was converted, of course. I got several error messages about mov files not being able to be converted, though I have no mov files in the folder or in the presentation. The audio is gone from the presentation and when I try to insert an mp3 I get a message saying "The movie 'movie name.mp3' couldn't be inserted. The operation could not be completed." No explanation, and the only option is OK. I tried both dragging and dropping the audio, and doing Insert->Choose.
The mp3s play fine outside of Keynote.
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?

Keynote 6.2.2 running under Mavericks 10.9.5 has serious problems with video and audio compatibility. On my older G5 I thought this might have been a RAM issue, but I recently upgraded to a MacBook Pro with 8G RAM. Problems are the same and even worse:
1. If I insert a newly downloaded MP4 file onto a Keynote 6 slide it will play without a problem. If you close the file or perform a save, the MP4 will freeze and refuse to play.
2. Converted .mov file to the new H.264 codec sometimes play once on a Keynote slide, and then freeze, but playing directly through QT is not a problem.
3. Randomly, some converted .mov video files never have a problem when inserted on a Keynote slide while others refuse to be inserted or to play properly--with absolutely no consistent pattern.
This is immensely frustrating and has cause me to revert to KN 5 when I have a presentation with a lot of video clips--just to avoid on-stage embarrassment. And the production design quality of KN 6 is great so having to go back and forth between 5 and 6 is a huge hassle.
Apple needs to fix this pronto for its KN power users. It is a mess.

I can't import mp3 files into iTunes

Just recently, I find that I can't drag/drop (or import) .mp3 files into iTunes (12.1.0.50).
I did confirm that the files aren't locked.
Any ideas? Thanks!

No mp3 files from any source, including iTunes itself, or just some particular batch of mp3s files from some unspecified source? It isn't unusual for some encoders to produce mp3s that are not compliant with iTunes. You can try using the application MP3 Scan+Repair (http://triq.net/mac/mp3-validator-mac-os-x) to fix them but sometimes you have to re-encode them. Try playing with Quicktime Player instead and report if it will play the files.
Oh, it also isn't unusual that files do not have labels built in. They are adding to iTunes but not ending up where you expect them to be.

Can't import MP3 Files into iTunes 10.6.1

I'm a long time user of iTunes and haven't had any problems until the last couple of days. I use a Macbook Pro with my iTunes Library on an external drive - I was trying to demonstrate using the iTunes store to a friend and created a temporary iTunes libary on my local disk (away from my office). I then switched back to my iTunes library on the external drive but some music had disappeared. It is in the correct folder in the library. So as a lst ditch effort I created a new library on another disk (I was running out of space anyway). Now I can't import anything with an extension of mp3.
Any help would be appreciated

MOV is a container format which may contain all kinds of codec, while iTunes only import MOV whose video codec is DV, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, H.264, or AIC.
Even if the MOV meet the above requirement and supported and playable in iTunes, it will still fail to sync to iPod/iPad/iPhone/Apple TV if the MOV video does not fit the specification like resolution, bit rate, aspect ratio, size, and audio codec of the iPod/iPad/iPhone/Apple TV.
In order to successfully import MOV to iTunes as well as sync MOV to Apple TV, iPod, iPhone, iPad, we have better convert the MOV video to a more compatible video format.

Importing pptx files into keynote

My friend sent me a pptx file from power point. How can I import this file into Keynote?

Welcome to the forum!
Easy. Open KN, when it's open, open (Command-O) the PP doc with KN. Voila! One catch: Imported into KN, which is what you just did, the doc may look or behave differently than it did in PP; the same is true the other way around.

Audacity is what you need.
Obviously you need to create a new MP3 file of the combined songs and not delete the originals.
If your DJ-ing and/or just have too many songs to do that, then look at the free VirtualDJHome version, gives you a lot of control over your music playback.

Can I turn .wma files into mp3 (or something I can use in itunes)?

iTunes for Mac can't handle WMA files, iTunes for winsloth can.
if you have access to a PC, use iTunes there to convert the files. alternatively, you can get EasyWMA and use that app.
the files need to be unprotected in both cases.

How can I copy mp3 files from my Itunes library to an SD card for use in a non-apple phone?

How can I copy mp3 files from my Itunes library to an SD card for use in a non-apple phone? I can physically copy the tunes as mp3's but the phone does not seem to be able to play all of them. Do I need to copy an entire album or can I just pick & choose individual songs? The phone is question is an LG running who knows what for an operating system.

AAC is Advanced Audio Coding. Basically it's a format that sounds better than MP3 but doesn't take up as much space as a lossless format (like you'd have on a CD). More than likely you've had that encoding turned on when you ripped your music into itunes (it's the default encoder). Therefore your LG phone won't play them.
You need to turn off the AAC format by going to the iTunes menu, Preferences, General (at the top), then clicking the "Import Preferences" button. Change the AAC Encoder to MP3 Encoder. After that you'll have to make MP3 copies of your songs by right clicking them and selecting "Create MP3 Version." You'll get a copy of the song that should transfer to your SD card and have MP3 encoding. Hopefully your phone will play that.

The title of my initial post is a bit misleading. I already took a chance deleting one of the iPhones, hoping if I deleted the wrong one, I can still reauthorize it (all with the same Apple ID acct, so not subject to 90-day waiting period, right?) The iTunes database just updated itself, and it says I have 4 "devices" "in the Cloud", but 5 "computers" associated w my account. How can I find out what computers are associated? Isn't there a list I can see? I dont have a clue what computers they might be. If I use the "Deauthorize All" option, is it a pain to add them all back in. I assume I would have to log in from each computer to reauthorize each one. Would I have to be running the newest OS or version of iTunes to reauthorize? I think I have a PowerBook G4 Titanium with an older OS and iTunes. I'd like to keep that authorized, if possible.

You may have one of a few errors going for you there:
The error says your column in Oracle is a Long not a CLOB, if it is, then make your column a CLOB.
CLOB's are not suppored in all environments and/or all interfaces (specifically Windoz ODBC has a problem).
I believe a DOC (Windoz MS-Word) file is a BLOB, due to formatting characters in the file.
I had a very similar error using Access and trying to do this, but changing to SAS fixed the problem. It could very well be that your version of ODBC/JDBC drivers does not support it properly.

How do I insert one file into another with track changes intact?

I gather that Pages does not have a way to insert a file into a document in the way that Word has insert file. So all we can do is copy an entire document and then paste it into the second document. But when I do that I lose the track changes, except for the odd comment. What is the way around this?

I'm assuming you're wanting to insert the contents of one Pages document into another. I don't have a need to use tracking, so I'm not sure if this applies but I think it should.
You can insert sections from one Pages document into another. Open your files & show thumbnails. Sections have a yellow border around all of the pages in that section. Now click on the page in the thumbnail pane & copy. If the file is more than one page & you only want one, you'll need to insert a section break to separate the pages. Then go to your other file, click in the thumbnail pane & paste. If you want to insert the other content into the middle of a section in the receiving document, you will need to insert section breaks at the point you want to insert. The whole copied page will be pasted in. Repeat with another section. Styles will copy over with the sections but headers & footers will not.

Can't drag video files into library - Please help!

Just got my iPod 30G video, and while I can drag mp3 files into the Library without any problems, when I try to do the same for video files (.avi and .wmv files), nothing happens. I don't get any error messages, but the files just don't appear in the Library. What am I doing wrong?

You must convert the videos to MP4. To do this, you must download a video converter. I got mine from Videora. Just google that name and download their full program. You will then need to convert the videos with the program and drag them to iTunes.

I hope someone can help me!

OIh by the way, the .swf is a scripted flash file. I have tried multiple converters, but no success yet...

How to convert .MP3 files into .AAC with iTunes 10.5.2

Im running a Mac OS X 10.5.8, and my iTunes version is 10.5.2.
I want to convert .MP3 files into .AAC using iTunes, but no option is given for me. What should I do?

im not going to change all my songs into AAC, I was experiementing around with making ringtones for my iphone. I can open a song in Garageband, and export it as an AAC file to my itunes, but it is very annoying. I remember older versions of itunes having a "Convert to AAC" option, but i can't find it anymore on this current version of itunes.
Basically, I want to convert a couple songs into AAC to create ringtones out of them.

I Can't import MP3 files in iTunes?

When I try to import mp3 files into iTunes (version 6), I get an error message of:
The file "song file name" can not be imported An unknown error has occurred (-50).
I have already imported these files into iTnes on my old computer, but run into this problem with my new laptop. I downloaded a new version of iTunes just like I installed all my new programs on this new laptop.
For some reason, I run into this problem when trying to import any mp3 files (as mentioned, even mp3 files that I successfully imported into iTunes previously).
(I've tried a complete removal and re-install, but that didn't help)
Anyone know why I'm getting this error message and how to correct things?
Thanks in advance for any help !!!

1) find an MP3 file on your file system (in Windows Explorer)
2) Right click on it to get contextual menu
3) Select Properties
4) on the General Tab the text "opens with" appears - in your case it'll be windows Media Player
5) Click Change
6) Select ITunes
7) Select Always for this type checkbox
8) Now try double clicking on an MP3 file
9) Does it start playing in ITunes?
10) Check Itunes settings: Edit>Preferences>Advanced
11) Are the checkboxes Keep Itunes folder organized and Copy to Itunes foler when adding selected? If not - read the manual to understand what those two settings do

I want to insert .pdf files into a "Master" .pdf file at pre-determined intervals - how do I do this?

Hi markm11762689,
When you insert pages, you can determine whether they go before or after the first or last page, or a page number that you specify.
If you're inserting multiple files at once, they will all be inserted in the same spot that you specify in the Select File to Insert dialog box.
There may be a way to handle this programmatically, and there are some very clever folks who visit these forums regularly. Let's see if they chime in...
Best,
Sara
