Converting MIDI and WMA files

On another computer with an older version of iTunes, I was able to convert MIDI and WMA files to other formats including AAC and MP3. But on my own computer which has the latest version of iTunes, it can't convert the formats anymore. I can an "unknown error (-50)" message. What is wrong?

I happened across this article today playing around with RSS feeds.
You probably could have found it too, if you did a search on "MIDI".
iTunes: MIDI files cannot be converted in iTunes 6.0.3 and 6.0.4

  • I keep getting a "missing plugin" for midi and mp3 files.

    I keep getting a "missing plugin" for midi and mp3 files I want to listen to online.  These are Hymn files.  And I get a message telling me I have a missing plugin. Any ideas?

    My husband used to be able to convert ABC files to MIDI files .  This allows sheet music to be played on the computer so as to learn a tune.  We get the Missing Plug in  message.
    I downloaded the Quicktime 7.   I open Quick time, Still get the message.  What is the solution? 
    If you need to look at an example, go to "The Session" website:

  • Possible to convert DRM protected WMA files to mp3?

    I've been attempting to find a relatively simple way of converting DRM-protected WMA files to mp3 using my Mac and can't seem to find anything. Surely somebody must have figured this out by now. I can convert non-DRM WMA files to mp3 using EasyWMA, but this does not work for WMA files with DRM protection.
    I want to purchase songs from the 7digital store that are in the WMA format and have DRM protection, convert them to MP3 on my iMac, and then import them into iTunes. Seems like it shouldn't be that hard.
    Any suggestions?

    iTunes Windows will convert non-DRM tunes into .mp3. If you have iTS purchases that have DRM you can burn them to an audio format CD as AIFF file format.
    Check the terms of use and see what your options are for converting them to another format. With iTunes the path is to burn an audio CD. See if that is possible with the wma DRM.
    Likely in your case you are trying to crack DRM outside the original terms of use when you purchased the tunes.

    Maybe you should try to convert from wma or rm to a supported format before attempting to play it.

  • Converter pictures and videos files to jpg and mpeg

    Do you know a safety software o freeware to convert pictures and videos files to jpg and mpeg? to use in my desktop with windows?

    A backup stores the data in the location shown in the following link: Create and delete iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch backups in iTunes
    Note, however that backup files are stored in a format that is meant for use only in restoring to an iOS device. They are not a way for you to view the photos on the computer.
    If you want to save the photos to the computer and be able to view them there, the following has instructions: Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC
    You can also use PhotoStream My Photo Stream FAQ or 3rd party apps such as http://www.photosync-app.com

  • Could someone please recommend the best program to convert AVI and MPEG files for use (and exporting) into IMovie 11?

    Hi Susan,
    It is no simpler converting vobs to mp4 than mpg (mpeg2).
    There is *always* a loss of quality converting video from one lossy-compressed format to another, e.g. mpeg2 to mp4.
    So, if you want to not lose any quality, then converting vobs to mpeg2 (mpg) is the thing to do (since there will be no video/audio re-compression), assuming Lr5 will accept them (sorry, but I do not know). example commands:
    Mac: ffmpeg -i myvideo.vob -sameq myvideo.mpg
    Win: ffmbc -i myvideo.vob -sameq myvideo.mpg
    If Lr5 won't accept them, then you can convert to mp4 with minimal quality loss using a command like:
    Mac: ffmpeg -i myvideo.vob -sameq myvideo.mp4
    Win: ffmbc -i myvideo.vob -sameq myvideo.mp4
    You may need variations of these commands depending on encoding of vob.
    Note: -i means -input-file; -sameq means -same-quality, as much as possible.
    ffm... is smart enough to avoid re-encoding, if possible, when -sameq is used, and makes reasonable choices for audio/video codecs based on extension of output file.
    Of course, you'll need to download/install ffm... program if not already on your machine, and execute commands in a terminal or command window.
    Do keep us posted please .
    Cheers,
    Rob

  • Help!- MP3 and WMA files no longer playing on my Micro Pl

    I have a 52mb micro plus that I got in September 2005. All of a sudden, I can longer play my mp3 and wma files... just the radio. I have updated my creative zen file organizer, I have a full powered battery inside, I have done no significant damage to the player (I dropped the player once on the sidewalk but not from a big distance or very hard), and I really can't think of anything else that is causing the problem. Can someone please help me fix my player so I can start playing my music files again? Thank you.Message Edited by jjc92787 on 05--200707:0 AM

    No unfortunately not. I don't know how to escalate this to Apple tech but I think that is the next step as I believe it is IOS based problem, not user related.

  • My mac is converting Word and Excel files into Pages and Numbers files when I click to open them (or download and open them) from an email. I do I get this to stop? It's really aggravating.

    My mac is converting Word and Excel files into Pages and Numbers files when I click to open them from an email. Downloading them and opening them doesn't help. How do I make this stop? I don't use iLife and don't want to; my clients are using Office and it's easier for me, except when I have to copy and paste everything they send me from an iLife file back to Word and Excel. Help!!! It's like Apple has become Microsoft, forcing us to use their apps.

    Do you have Word & Excel installed, if yes, navigate in the finder to an example of each, right click and select 'Get Info' scroll down to 'Open With' and select the appropriate program, check the box that says 'Change All'

  • Mixture of mp3 and wma files on my muvo

    I got a muvo tx last week as a gift. I copied about 250K of mp3 and wma files to it from my laptop running windows xp pro. The player plays all of the mpe files with no problem but won't play any of the wma files. The wma files were ripped from a cd using Windows Media Player.
    Any advice on playing the wma files will be appreciated. The little manual that came with the player says it will play mp3, wma, and wav files.

    JimR,
    For WMA audio files with DRM protection, you will need to use either Windows Media Player or Creative MediaSource application to do the transferring of the files to the player. Only by using these application can the license be transfer to the player to allow playback.
    Try ripping the Audio CD again but this time go to the Windows Media Player 9 setting option and ensure that the 'Copy protect music' option is disabled.
