Converting audio files in iTunes to play on iPad 4

I used iTunes 11.1.1 to convert a MPEG file to an AAC file.  After the conversion, in iTunes the file kind shows "AAC audio file".  The actual file extension shows .m4a when I look at it in Finder.  It still will NOT sync with my iPad 4 ... why?  What am I doing wrong?

Don't buy software peddled by spammers in support forums.
It's usually garbage.
M4a is a valid file type for AAC audio.
What happens when you try to sync it?

  • 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.

    I can play audio files in iTunes but I can't play downloaded tv shows or movies.  Everytime I try to play them, iTunes stops working and closes.  Any information will help.

    Is QuickTime installed? If not it might help to install it.
    If so is Direct3D Video Acceleration enabled? If so it might help to disable.

    Try using VLC Media Player 2.0.6. EasyWMA 3.3.5  or Music Converter 1.5.1 should be able to convert them to .mp3.

  • How to convert wma files for iTunes

    I will appreciate any help from anyone who shows me how to play wma audio files in Itunes. I do not want to use an outside non-Apple  audio video converter. The quick time program plays the audio file but I do not know how to bring it in the Itunes Library.
    Thank you

    Converting WMA Files
    In iTunes for Windows, you can convert your unprotected WMA files to AAC files (or whatever file format is chosen in the Importing pane of iTunes Preferences) without changing the original WMA file. Simply drag the WMA files into your library in iTunes and iTunes does the grunt work, converting them for you. Windows Media Player 9 or later must be installed to convert unprotected WMA files. Protected WMA files cannot be converted.

  • Moving audio files into Itunes Folder

    I have files in my Itunes folder. I also have music files in other folders scattered throughout my computer. All these songs are in my Itunes library.
    How can i move all the songs that aren't in my Itunes folder into my Itunes folder? When I consolidate the music tt only lets me copy. Is there a way to just move them without creating double copies?

    With the more recent version of iTunes, it automatically stores converted audio files into Artist\Album folder, and re-names the audio track to the the track number plus the title of the track.
    It's not the"more recent version of iTunes". It's all versions iof iTunes.
    Is there anyway to store the converted audio files in one folder, and keep the same name as the original file name?
    No.
    If you are RIPping from CD, iTunes will put them into the iTunes music folder by Artist/Album name.
    If you are adding songs to iTunes, it does not convert them unless they are WM and then it puts them into Artist/Album folders.
    If you want your own Folder/File names, RIP the CD using a different application and put the files into your own folders.
    Then iTunes prefs -> Advanced and uncheck *Copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library*.
    Then add the files to iTunes.

  • Converting Audio files to Midi files.... anyway to do it?

    I used to have Opcode Studio Vision Pro and there was an option to convert audio files, like a drum solo or just music, to a midi file so you could take a audio drum pattern and turn it into a midi file and pick your own drum sounds like a TR-909 for the drum pattern.
    Is there any function like this in Logic, or perhaps a plug in that will do that? I searched the forum without any luck.
    Thanks

    I haven't seen anything like this, but...
    For Guitar's mainly... if you plug your guitar into a good pedal which has a midi out set up, you can plug it into your mac and record by playing the guitar using midi... then you can edit it.. works same way as keyboards... I expect you can do the same with drums if you used digital, i'm not sure.
    hope this helps

  • How-To: Convert audio files to the desired Cisco format (SoX example)

    Greetings,
    This week I spent a few hours on converting PCM encoded wave files to CCITT ulaw encoded wave files. You know, the format we all use for UCCX, IP IVR and the like.
    I have been searching the interwebs and came across a few suggestions, amongst others:
    o Adobe Audition
    o Audacity
    I installed Audition Cs5.5 on my Mac, but it wouldn't let me export CCITT ulaw files.
    I also installed Audacity, which would let me export files in the right format, but doesn't support batch conversion of audio files. When you're moving from one voice application to another, this is a huge drawback. For occasional conversion, I would recommend this (graphical) tool.
    The solution I have used is the open source software SoX (Sound eXchange) which can be found here: http://sox.sourceforge.net/
    It is a cross-platform (Win, Linux, Mac) command line utility that can be use to convert audio files, concatenate them and what not. I just this in conjunction with a perl script I made.
    The script is attached, in the hope someone else benefits from it. Should work out of the box on Mac and Linux machines. The script will traverse the $dirname directory (not recursively) and convert what it finds to 8bit, 8kHz, mono, CCITT ulaw format.
    By the way, to concatenate files just simply type:
    sox half1.wav half2.wav full.wav
    This will concatenate half1.wav and half2.wav and name the resulting file full.wav.
    HTH
    P.s: Disclaimer: You might need to edit the script. There is no implied fitness for a particular purpose, YMMV and I shall not be liable for messed up audio files or what not.
    Edit: url added.

    Hi,
    welcome to the beautiful world of open source :-) By the way, I have not seen anybody programming in Perl for a long time.
    Just one comment: G.711 uLaw is just the half of the story. Remember, UCCX supports either G.711 uLaw or G.729 as well. And since G.729 has license restrictions (costs $10000 per year if I remember that correctly), no free software can incorporate it to its "convert to" list (apart from reading it, which is fine).
    A piece of advice: CUCM has got that voice translator service running, which does the job as well. All you have to do is to upload your files, and you'll get at least four formats ready and available, including G.729 - and it can be downloaded easily using TFTP later and used in UCCX.

  • 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.

  • Can I import .cda audio file in iTunes on my Macbook Pro with OS X Yosemite

    Can I import .cda audio file in iTunes on my Macbook Pro with OS X Yosemite

    iNads,
    .CDA files are simple index files, less than 1 kB in size, that do not contain any audio.  There is no reason to import them.
    If you have the physical CD and wish to rip it into iTunes, you can import it per this guide:  iTunes 12 for Mac: Import songs from CDs

  • IOS 6.0.1 Safari won't play audio files. Error: "Cannot play audio file."

    I recently updated my iPad to iOS 6.0.1, now Safari won't play audio files in any format. Error: "Cannot play audio file." Previously, it worked fine. I tried downloading and using GoogleChrome and Opera Mini, and these also won't play audio. What's up??

    Solved the problem. It seems that once iOS 6.0.1 installed, it caused all of my browsers to mishandle audio files. When I reset the iPad, that cleared up the problem.
    Before upgrading to iOS 6, my browsers would "autoplay" the sound files. After iOS 6, "autoplay" is disabled so you have to manually click play to play them.
    Nonetheless, everything is working fine again except for "autoplay," which I can live with.

  • MPEG audio file from Itunes U not playing on my Shuffle.  :(

    Some of the lectures on Itunes U are in MPEG audio file (format: MPEG-2 layer 3). I cannot seem to play this on my Shuffle (2nd gen). I tried converting to ACC using preference and the right click, but it does not work. Is there any other way? Thanks.

    I just realized that also the ACC files from Itunes U won't work on my shuffle. When I press Play, it alternates green-orange flash which indicates that there are no music. ???

  • VOB converted to AVI audio files imported to premiere play in different order than the video files

    Hello there,
    I extracted the VOB files from a burned dvd created with Adobe Premiere pro 1.5, I converted the files into AVI files, then I imported it to Premiere CS4. The video sequence on the timeline plays in the correct order but a very fast speed, and the audio sequence plays all the individual clips in a random order, not in the order that they were originally edited in.
    What did I do wrong while importing or converting?
    Elio38

    Hi Elio,
    What program, or utility did you use to convert the .vob files to .avi, and what was your target codec?  I typically use SUPER Converter, which is free and very versatile, to convert program stream .vob files to a useable format that PPCS4 is compatible with. You can also directly import and edit a .vob file from a DVD in PPCS4 by simply changing the file extension to .mpg. However, doing so will eliminate the audio channel from the video clip in PPCS4.
    I was able to recreate what I believe was your issue when I tried converting a .vob file to an .avi file, regardless of what codec I used.  I had no issues what so ever when converting the .vob file to a .mov file using the DV codec, for example.  It could be a bug with PPCS4 because the same .avi file I created with the DV codec played back fine in WMPlayer, and VLC, but played back almost in slow motion in PPCS4.  It might be advantageous for you in the meantime to re-convert the .vob files to .mov files and just choose the standard DV codec.
    Remember, you are trying to edit files that are intended for delivery and that were not originally designed to be edited.  Attempting to edit inter-frame formats such as MPEG-2, MPEG-4, FLV, etc...has caused many a headache and even today, are not the easiest to work with.

  • How to convert lossless audio files in itunes to AAC or mp3 in itunes 10
