"convert selection" is inactive

When I connect my iPod to my pc, iTunes won't play the songs that are in MPEG format. But when I try to convert the formats to AAC, the "convert selection" button from the Advanced tab is inactive.
Could anyone tell me why this is and how i can fix the problem of itunes not playing MPEG formats??
thx,
Nune

these are songs i got from friends (via email), so they're all in MPEG format. whenever i try to open an MPEG with itunes, it gives an alert saying itunes needs to close.

Adobe Acrobat 9 supposedly allows you to convert selected areas of a web page to PDF from within Int

Software: Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard
Issue: Using the ‘Adobe PDF toolbar’ from within Internet Explorer
Problem #1:
Can’t convert selected areas of a web page to PDF
When you click ‘select’ on the adobe pdf toolbar, a red dotted line is supposed to appear around parts of the web page as you move the cursor
In my case, that’s not happening
Similarly, when you click on a part of the page, the part is supposed to be highlighted in blue
In my case, that’s not happening
Problem #2:
Can’t convert part of a web page to PDF
You’re supposed to use the cursor to select text and images on a page, then right-click and convert them to a PDF
In my case, nothing happens when I right-click
Any advice??

You can not do that using Adobe Acrobat 9. Adobe never made a create PDF add-on for Firefox for use with Adobe Acrobat 9. They created a Firefox add-on for use with Acrobat X, but currently that one does not work with Firefox 4 though Adobe are working on an update.

"Convert Selection for iPod" Command Increases File Size?

Hello!
I'm trying to convert a file that has the following characteristics (as reported in Quicktime Pro):
Format: H.264 Decoder, 496 x 208, Millions, AAC, Stereo (L R), 44.100 kHz
FPS: 25
Data Size: 572.20 MB
Data Rate: 659.18 kbits/sec
Normal Size: 496 x 208
I know the dimensions are strange, but it's because this is just a test I'm running on a workflow using Hand Brake to bring content back from a DVD (my content).
Now, when I drop just the original file into iTunes and then try to put it on an iPod, it says it can't be played. So I use the handy new option in the Advanced menu, "Convert Selection for iPod." This yields a new file with the following characteristics:
Format: AAC, Stereo (L R), 44.100 kHz, H.264 Decoder, 640 x 268, Millions
FPS: 25
Data Size: 1.36GB
Data Rate: 1609.01 kbits/sec
Normal Size: 640 x 268
How is it that the data rate and file size have increased so much? It now plays on an iPod, but why? I was under the impression that usually the problem with getting video to play on an iPod was a data rate that is too high. So it seems strange to me that the second file works and the first doesn't.
Finally, what is the difference between a file with the extension .mov and the extension .m4v? The original file has .mov and the converted ends up with .m4v. But they have the same characteristics in terms of codec. So what's the difference?
Thanks for any help and info!
Cameron

I think I was able to resolve this myself after some trial and error. It looks like it is all in the name of the file. I've gotten some files to transfer after going into the Get Info section and updating the name (usually shorten the name or take out non-letter/number/# characters and then get the filename on disk to match.

Hi Sowmya,
Here is the answer if I understand well of your question.
Data: begin of gt_mon OCCURS 0,
              mon(2)             TYPE n,
         end of gt_mon.
Data: begin of gt_year OCCURS 0,
              year(4)             TYPE n,
         end of gt_year.
Select-options: s_period       FOR ptdw_pws_db-kmonth NO-EXTENSION
                                                                                DEFAULT sy-datum(6)
                                                                                TO sy-datum(6).
For example according to above statement period is 201110 is 201201.
Period field does n't exists in SAP for selection. If your selection is on date based on period which is given on the selection-screen then you need to convert the period to date by concatenating ( or using FM to convert )01 at the end of each period . You need to declare one range table for date to select the data from table.
loop at s_period.
gr_date-sign   = s_period-sign.
gr_date-option = s_period-option.
COncatenate s_period-low
                      '01'
into gr_date-high.
COncatenate s_period-high
                       '01'
into gr_date-low
append gr_date.
ENDloop.
Thanks,
Satheesh

Convert selection for ipod?

When I right click a video file in my library, "convert selection does not show up". It just says "Convert selection to AAC" (which is my importing file-type.)
How do I get it to say "convert selection for ipod"??

Like someone else said, iTunes needs to be updated.
Also, know that the option only comes up if the video is not in iPod format.

Convert Selection for Ipod help

Having just updated to the latest version of iTunes 6.0.2 for the Mac I have been attempting to the Convert Selection for iPod menu selection for video podcasts that have not already sync'd up. I have successfully converted 1 video podcast and loaded it on my iPod 5G, but have also tried unsuccessfully to the same with 4 or 5 others. When I do Get Info on the converted files it does show the .m4v file extension and when I run the video podcasts from within iTunes, it looks like it is the right size.
Has anyone else seen this and can offer a resolution?

"Convert Selection for iPod/iPhone" and Leopard Issues

I have a number of movies on my hard drive which I would like to convert for my iPhone, so I right click on them in iTunes and select "Convert Selection for iPod/iPhone." Since I upgraded to Leopard, this function has been taking an extremely long time, about 12 hours for a half hour clip. Versus when I was running Tiger, it would take about 1.5 hours. Is there a way to either fix this or allocate more resources to make my computer work faster?

Thanks for the reply, but iTunes did not create a new file. I looked in Movies and in TV Shows, and in Music just to be careful, but there is still only one file, the one that doesn't play on my iPhone. I even looked in my iTunes Music folder for a file it may have created an just not imported, but there is nothing there either.

Convert Selection for iPod...causing Unexpected Quits!!

I have 2 video thta I want to play on my BRAND NEW IPOD :)!!!! When I click convert selection (for) iPod it starts but iTunes unexpectedly quits!!! Music transfers fine. Do I need to use 3rd party software to convert these to iPod format?!?!? This is anoying!!

Reinstalling itunes fixed it, Now the video has no audio in itune OR theiPod.

'Convert Selection for iPod/iPhone' makes my movies silent. Why?

When I choose the 'Convert Selection for iPod/iPhone' option so that I can put my movies on my iPod, all of the audio becomes silent. The picture is fine and only the music/words go away.
Why? And, if there's a way, how can I fix it?
(These movies are either from a camera or from friends.... 'mpg' files.)

Convert Selection For iPod--Video Problems

I've got video in iTunes, that's not the problem. I've checked, iTunes and QuickTime are both up-to-date. When I try and sync the videos to my 80gig iPod, it tells me that they can not be synced because they are not the right format. They're all .mp4 format and Apple lists that as compatible for an iPod. When I right click on the video and click on 'Convert Selection for iPod', it converts it, but I only get the audio with a blank white screen and no video. I've followed the Apple tutorial and they're video clip works when I convert it. I went to the DivX website and downloaded the newest version of it and installed everything but the DivX player. It still won't work. What should I do?

"Convert selection to iPod/iPhone" failing to convert

When I attempt to sync an .mp4 video I downloaded from the net, it tells me I can't because my iPod touch can't play it. Okay, whatever, so I go to the Movies section of my iTunes library, right click said video, and select "Convert selection to iPod/iPhone", and wait the standard 15-30 minutes for the conversion.
Long story short, the conversion 'completes', but when I go to play it (via iTunes or my iPod Touch), there's no video, the audio is garbled for the first new seconds, and then becomes completely silent and I'm simply watching two snowmen out in a blizzard (aka, just a white screen).
The video I'm attempting to convert is four hours in length; it's a silly puppet show I watch occasionally that people can view live on the internet every Sunday, and the studio puts it up for download afterwards.
Any tips on what I can do to get the files to play properly?

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions,
I'd advise you to remove and then re-install the lastest version of Quicktime on your computer.

Convert Selection to iPod?

I need help. I have some video files I have had on my computer for a long time and when I got my new nano with video I was stoked to finally bring them with me. Well I converted them all to MPEG4 so it is compatable with iTunes, but it wouldn't go to my iPod. Then I found the "convert selection to iPod" and tried that and it converted ok, well so I thought. I played it and the audio and video was staggered, its hard to explain but it didn't work. Can someone help me fix this? Or tell me what I did wrong. Thanks I would appriciate any help.

1. Install Videora http://www.videora.com/en-us/Converter/iPod/
2. Run Videora. Select power mode. First add the file(just browse to where you saved the movie(s). Rename it if you want. Go all the way down to profile: Click the drop down menu and select MPEG4 480X320 768Kbps Stereo/128Kbps. Click start converting.
3. Once Videora is done, it will automatically add the file to your itunes movie library. Now you shouldn't have a message that says cannot convert. The reason why is maybe because when you converted your video you did it in a format that your ipod touch or ipod video does not support.
Hope it helps

Convert Selection for Apple TV produces file without video

Good morning. I have a .MP4 file (H.264 codec) that plays just fine in iTunes. However, it won't sync to my Apple TV, saying it's not compatible. When I run "Convert Selection for Apple TV," iTunes hums away for a few minutes and then produces a file with the proper length and clean sound, but a blank picture. Any ideas?

I've had the same type of problem. A 720p video that plays fine in QT is accepted by iTunes but will not transfer to my AppleTV. I used the convert for Apple TV option and the resulting file would download to the Apple TV but the playback is just a whitescreen with sound.
When I convert videos sometimes iTunes or AppleTV won't accept them but I've yet to figure out why - resolution, bitrate, and complexity are the same yet some work and others don't.
