Converting to ACC File

Hello,
I have just tried to play a song that I haven't played in quite some time... what happened was it played for about 9 seconds, then went to the next song, when I checked it was still in the mp3 file format, when I tried to convert it to ACC, I got an error saying:
"Error occured while converting the file "fallen". An unknown error occured (-50)."
Does anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this, I am pretty sure that this song came from a CD that I imported a while ago (after two computer changes) But I don't recall ever having this type of problem before.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I'm seeing the same thing. any ideas?

Converting to ACC - file names

hi,
when i'm converting mp3 to ACC with iTunes, i would like to name of the file stay the same, but iTunes chenges the name of the file and makes a folder with the name of the singer, is it possible to just convert the files with not changing their names and not making this folders?

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?

Itnues 10.1 update wom't convert MP3 files to ACC files

Grrr having a nightmare at the moment. I'm trying to convert some MP3 files to ACC format but the option has gone from the drop down menu. This has only been since I updated to 10.1. What is going on with Apple at the moment. Has anyone else had this problem and if so did you manage to resolve it? I did try to go back a version but that is no good :0( woud really appreciate some advice
Thanks

could be a permissions problem. try this:
check if you have read & write permissions for your music folder. in finder, right-click on it and +get info+. unlock the little padlock (you may have to enter your admin password) and change the permission settings. next, click on the little gear-shaped icon and +apply to enclosed items+ like so
the important part is to *apply to enclosed items* !
also try repairing permissions on your startup disk using *disk utility* (in applications/utilities). don't worry if you see strange errors ➠ _*permission repair messages you can safely ignore*_.
as long as you see +permissions repair complete+ @ the end, you're in the green.

How do i convert to acc audio files

How do i convert to acc audio files

Hello Red Teddy,
The following article contains steps for converting content from one format to another.
iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550
To convert a song's file format:
Open iTunes Preferences.
Windows: Choose Edit > Preferences.
Mac: Choose iTunes > Preferences.
Click the General button, then click the Importing Settings button in the second section of the window.
From the Import Using pop-up menu, choose the encoding format that you want to convert the song to, then click OK to save the settings.
Select one or more songs in your library, then from the Advanced menu, choose one of the following (The menu item changes to show what's selected in your Importing preferences):
Create MP3 version
Create AAC version
Create AIFF version
Create WAV version
Create Apple Lossless version
If you haven't imported some songs into iTunes yet, you can import and convert them at the same time. This will create a converted copy of the file in your iTunes Library based on your iTunes preferences. To convert all the songs in a folder or on a disk, hold down the Option key (Mac) or Shift key (Windows) and choose Advanced > ConvertImport preference setting. The Import preference setting will match what you chose in step 3. iTunes will prompt you for the location of the folder or disk you want to import and convert. All the songs in the folder or on the disk will be converted. Note: Some purchased songs are encoded using a protected AAC format that prevents them from being converted. iTunes Plus purchases are not protected and can be converted.
The song in its original format and the newly converted song appear in your library.
Cheers,
Allen

How do I convert an MP3 file to use it as a ringtone on my iPhone 3G?

Everybody's wrong wrong wrong. You don't need garageband. Select the song, go to info. You need to select a start and stop time for the song that can't be any longer than 40 seconds in length. Then in advanced mode you convert the song to acc. once done locate the file on the computer. it should end in .m4a . Change the a to an r so it reads .m4r Drag the file to the desktop, double click and it ends up in ringtones folder.
That's it! Works every time. Or for those who want easier:

How do I convert the audio file?

Hi,
I just opened GB for the first time so please bare with me.
When a I do a "save as" the file extension is .band, only if I export it to the iTunes I can convert it by doing "convert to ACC", and in that case I get an .m4a file... How can I get an MP3 file? I don't care about the quality, I only wanna download it into my cretive zen and I don't think it supports that kind of file.
Can somebody help me?
Thanks!

If you desperately want mono files import the pseudo stereo track and use interleaved->split - then just trash one side of the spilt stereo file and there you have your mono file.

Burn a mp3 disk with acc files

I have a library full of ACC (mp4) files. In the old days I have chosen mp3 as my iTunes format but seduced by soundquality/filesize I converted all my CDs to ACC again.
Now...i recently bought a mp3 capable cd player for the car. In the old days I could just choose a playlist up to 700mb and burn it to a cd. Is there an easy way (automator, applescript, toast) to burn a ACC file playlist into a mp3 CD without manually converting acc->mp3 and then deleting duplicates after etc. etc......
I have Toast 7.
thank you in advance for tips.
pierre

iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > Importing > change "Import using" to mp3 encoder, and if required change the bitrate etc, in the "Setting" menu.
Now, in the main library window, select and ctrl-click on the track(s) you want to convert and you will see a "Covert selection to mp3" option.
The "Convert selection to ...." option will change depending on what format you have selected to import files as.
A warning though: AAC files converted to mp3s probably won't sound very nice!

Brilliant! Installing that plug-in solved the problem. Thanks a million for sharing your insight.

Convert to ACC Problem

I have an audiobook that happens to be 29 hours long, and in my infinite wisdom I have turned it into one gigantic 700 MB mp3 file. I'm trying to convert it to ACC so I can rename it as a m4b file and make iTunes recognize it as an audiobook but when I try to convert it to an ACC it doesn't work properly. It LOOKS like it's converting the whole file, and certainly takes long enough, compared to my other 10-14 hour audiobooks I've done the same to. However, The new 620 MB m4a file only appears to be two hours long. Is this some kind of iTunes glitch? Am I just stupid for trying to make a file that big?

My 10-14 hour books show up just fine in iTunes and play for the full length. i have also tried playing the 700 MB one, and it only plays to the end of the two hours it displays. I also went into options and checked to make sure it wasn't just cutting off after two hours for some odd reason. iTunes can play the whopper of an MP3 just fine, so there's no display glitch in iTunes; I even have it on my iPod. However, I'm strangely unhappy unless I can make it display in the Audiobooks section of iTunes, and I can't do that unless I can make it an m4b file.
My first thought is that the ACC format won't allow files of that size, but that just doesn't sound right to me.

ALL MY DESKTOP APPS CONVERTED TO PDF FILES.

After sending an urgent email attachment in Adobe PDF to Government Offcom, all my Desktop applications in windows 7 64 bit have been converted to PDF files and cannot be opened.   The attachment used was sent to me by my Secretary remotely using an old MAC.
I can return my laptop to normal operation by un installing my Adobe Reader 11 app, but the problem returns when I re Download Adobe Reader
11 again.     After discussing this with Adobe Technical in London they advised me to raise this issue with your Adjudicators in this Forum.
Please assist asap as this is very urgent right now for several genuine reasons.
Many thanks.   Derek Horder.
