Converting wma for use in itunes

How can I convert wma file so that I can use them in Itunes. Thanks

If it is in your library and it is an AAC, then not obvious why it won't play.
Right-click the library entry again, choose Show in Windows Explorer, find the file icon, right-click the file icon, and choose Open With. Is iTunes one of the choices? If so, choose it and see what happens.
Also, in your library, can you verify that the duration (time) and file size of the song look right?

Can Indesign CS5 convert files for use on Kindle?

Hello,
Have any of you converted books for use on Kindle, and if so, how did you do it, and did it go smoothly? Please explain in "dummies" terms, as I find this topic to be very confusing.
If I convert files to ePub format in Ind. CS5, is this all I need to do to convert it to a format that can be used on a Kindle reader? Would this work for graphics as well as text?
Internet searches about this gave info for an older version, CS4, and seemed to require using supplemental software to successfully convert to Kindle format.
Thanks for any advice.

Yes, going to EPUB and then Kindle seems to be the best route.
A few suggestions.
1.       Upgrade to CS6. EPUB capabilities have been dramatically improved.
2.       Buy some good books EPUB. I suggest these two Liz Castro’s books for a start: http://amzn.to/LI9Q5b and http://amzn.to/LIa38o
3.       Visit Liz’s blog: http://www.pigsgourdsandwikis.com/
4.       Check out Ann Marie Concepcion’s excellent Lynda.com titles. This link will get you a one week trial: http://bit.ly/fcGpiI
Finally, you need to get at least a beginner’s grasp of HTML and CSS. Without that, quite frankly, you’re screwed.

Converting video for use on Sidekick

Good evening.
This might not be the right place to post this, but here goes...
I have a 24" iMac and would like to convert videos for use on my Sidekick LX 2009. The info on the Sidekick says it will play 3GP or MP4 (simple profile). I been trying to convert using VisualHub and HandBrake but to no luck. Any suggestions on how I can do a conversion, or what settings I need in these programs, or some other program to use?
Thanks for the help.

Try using MPEG Streamclip to convert the videos; more information on this issue is available in this article.

Converting video for use in The Sims 2

Hi, I have been trying to figure out how to convert video for use in The Sims 2. I have QuickTime Pro, and I am able to export to AVI format, and all I need to know is how to change the resolution. I've looked all through the settings with no luck. Thanks for the help.

How can I change file encoding for use in Itunes?

For instance, aiff to apple lossles files, or mp3 to apple lossless, or any other conversion. And which is best?

I don't really understand some of the settings that you posted. Stereo and joint stereo are two different things, so you can't encode as both at the same time. For modern MP3 compression, joint stereo is usually preferred, because it allows the encoder to use fewer bits in encoding the stereo information, and it doesn't result in any perceptual losses in stereo imaging.
48.000 kHz is pointless unless you are ripping from source material that is actually at that sample rate. Redbook-standard CD audio is at 44.100 kHz, so just stick with that (or better yet, leave the sample rate setting at "auto" so it will pick the setting that matches the source material you are ripping from).
320 kbps is kind of overkill as well. Actually, if you want to rip to MP3, I would advise you to stay away from the iTunes encoder, because most listening tests indicate that it hasn't been updated much since the first versions of iTunes back in the late 1990s. It is no longer a modern encoder. Assuming that you are on a Mac, I suggest that you download the iTunes-LAME plugin (http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/ipod_itunes/ituneslameencoder.html), which allows you to encode tracks into the iTunes Music Library using the LAME MP3 encoder. LAME is an open-source encoder project that has been continuously developed over many years and has been heavily tested for transparency. The latest version (3.97b1) has been shown in listening tests to be almost the same quality as equivilent-bitrate AAC files.
Once you download the iTunes-LAME plug-in, you can install the latest version of LAME by going to http://www.rarewares.org/mp3.html . Scroll down to "Encoders/decoders built using LAME 3.97 beta 1" and download "For Mac OS X." This is a Unix Executable file. To install it in the iTunes-LAME plugin, go to Your User Folder/Library/iTunes/Scripts. Right click on the iTunes-LAME application and select "Show Package Contents." Open the "Contents" folder that appears and then open the "Resources" folder. You should see a Unix Executable there titled "lame." Replace this file with the 3.97b1 Unix Executable that you downloaded. Now iTunes-LAME will encode with LAME v.3.97b1 instead of its default LAME build. 3.97b1 has some major improvements over earlier LAME versions, so even though this installation process may seem daunting for some people, it is well worth it.
To use iTunes-LAME, you first select a CD or playlist from the Source list (the left-hand column) in iTunes. You then click on the Script menu (the little script icon) and select "Import with LAME...". iTunes-LAME opens, showing you a command line and an Import button. LAME encoding options are selected using command-line switches. Fortunately, there are variable bit-rate (VBR) presets that have been heavily tested for transparency, so you don't really need to know anything about the command line options. Just type in "-V 2 --vbr-new," which is one of the most heavily-tested presets, and hit the Import button. This results in variable bit rate files that usually average out to between 170 and 240 kbps, depending on the complexity of the source. For more information on the presets, see http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=LAME#RecommendedEncoderSettings
The only major downside to using iTunes-LAME is that it cannot take advantage of iTunes' error correction option when ripping CDs. If you want error correction though, you can always just have iTunes rip to WAV first, and then convert those WAV files to MP3 using the iTunes-LAME plugin.
Feel free to ask any more questions.

Ripping Cd's for use with iTunes AND DJ Software

Hello, I have a lot of CD's I want to rip into my MAC. I want to store them on my external hard drive attached to my Time Capsule. I use iTunes, but here is the problem. I also use my MB Pro to DJ, and disconnect my external hard drive from the Time Capsule and take it with me (it has my music on it). How can I use both iTunes and my DJ software? Does iTunes rip the songs into a file that I can also use without iTunes playing it (in other words, a plain old mp3 or mp4?) Anyone have a best practices to pass along? Thanks!

Welcome to the forums DJEJay
in other words, a plain old mp3 or mp4?
Yes, in your Preferences > Importing, choose whichever format you want the music to be in - e.g. MP3 if you prefer - plus the bitrate you want it at. (This also works for converting tracks you already have in your iTunes Library - from the ADvanced menu).
Does iTunes rip the songs into a file that I can also use without iTunes playing it
Yes - all the tracks will be in the iTunes > Tunes Music folder on the drive (making sure you point iTunes to this drive the first time you run it), organised in separate folders by artist albums or Compilations. These all play in Finder Preview, and I assume can be read by your DJ software / hardware.
One word of warning - don't interfere with the folder structure or move files around or rename them or anything, as iTunes might get very confused next time you launch it.

Converting mp4 for use in music editor

I want to mess around with Audacity, but I'm having trouble getting the right file formats. I ripped a cd to iTunes, and it appears to be in mp4 format. This doesn't seem to work with audacity.
How do I convert either to aac or to mp3? I've come across a "convert to aac" command, but the duplicate appeared as mp4.

Thanks. "Import" refers to the initial ripping of the CD, right?
Well... In the preferences settings it refers to the format that will be created when you either rip a track from a CD or when you convert a file using the Advanced > Convert menu feature.
How do I change format using my existing music files?
Personally I would re-rip the CD. When the files were converted to mp4 format there was quality loss. AIFF and WAV do not have any quality loss from the original.
(I assume I start by duplicating the file, if I want to keep a copy of the original.) Do I have to take it out of iTunes--say to the desktop-- then re-import it back in?
No and no. If you really want to just convert the mp4 first go into your preferences settings and change the Advanced > Importing format to AIFF or WAV (may have moved since I use an old version of iTunes). In iTunes select the mp4 file, then menu item Advanced > Convert To
A new file in the different format will be created.

Converting m4a files for use with itunes

Do the files play in Quicktime? Do they play in another player like VLC? On an iPod?

No option to change QT to 32 bit for use in iTunes

Many, many videos previously seen on iTunes now give this message: "This movie requires QuickTime, which is not supported by this version of iTunes. "
iTunes 13.1.3; Quicktime Pro10.3 (7.7.1) & 7.6.6 (1710) on Maverick upgraded from Mountain Lion. Everything I could fine on forum says I must use 32 bit mode for older media, and to change options to 32 bit. There is no option for changing to 32 bit on QT. The only other suggestion was to drag all unreadable movies to the desktop, delete them from iTunes, then reinstall the movies into iTunes! That is a horrible lot of work! Is there anyone who has found a way around the problem? I had no problem with the movies playing on 10.8 nor before.

If the phone has this option or not depends on where the phone was sold (country and operator). Some operators have this feature in their branding.
I haven't tested it but i believe Handcent SMS has the feature you're looking for: http://www.handcent.com/dir/new/help/doHelp?hid=284

How to convert files for use in iMovie?

I have ripped some home movie footage from DVD using mactheripper to my harddrive.
Coolio.
Now, how on earth to i get the files into iMovie?
I'm guessing I need to convert the files somehow but how? Using what?
Please tell me the procedure, thanks, R

... am a mac newbie and...
.. then, you shouldn't stroll around in the outer rims of the iNet, looking for MTR.. , this app is mostly intended for distracting copy protection from commercial dvds...
give that app a try:
DVDxDV (free trial, 25$, Pro: 90$)
legal, handy, very Mac-like in usage... plus a free trial, you can test, how it works for you....
just to mention that:
DVD uses a plyback-format, end-of-the-road, delivery standard.. not meant for further processing.. you will recognize a (dramatic) loss in pic quality..

Converting .MTS for use in Final Cut Express, without loosing quality

I have an external hard drive full of .MTS files from my JVC camcorder that I cannot open with Final Cut Express.
I bought a piece of conversion software, iSkySoft Video Converter, to convert them into a more accessible format such as .mov or .avi, but they lose their HD quality during the conversion. I have also tried software available through Mac, Voltaic, but this also seems to dilute picture quality.
In a previous post, I was recommended Clip Wrap, but having downloaded it, it will not let me open my .MTS files to convert in the first place. I have contacted Clip Wrap Support about this, but am yet to hear back.
I would like suggestions as to how to open these .MTS files in Final Cut, or a piece of conversion software that retains full high definition quality when converting.
I am not very computer savvy, Im afraid, so can any technical jargon be explained as best as possible please! Just for reference, in case it helps, my camcorder is a JVC GZ-HD10.
Thank you.

MarkTrif, if iskysoft isn't working, use mpeg streamclip to try again, it is free. or get another good third party MTS converter like HD Video Converter for Mac, specially designed to convert HD video formats like AVCHD (mts, m2ts), H.264/AVC, MPEG-2 (ts), DivX, HD WMV, MPEG-4 to SD videos like AVI, MPEG, WMV, MP4, DivX, MOV, my friends recommend it to me, it's safe and works pretty well for me. keep the video image quality. If you are interested in it, here is a step by step guide about how to use it

I wish you haven't any problem too!

Converting Movie for use on iPod

I bought a movie on iTunes the other day. The movie plays fine on my computer and on the AppleTV. But it will not sync to my iPod Touch or iPhone.
When I tried to convert the Movie by using File -> Create New Version -> Create iPod or iPhone Version. I only got an error message: Error occured while converting the file "<Movie Name>". an unknown error occurred (-4).
Any suggestion on the meaning of the error and how to correct it?

Try using MPEG Streamclip to convert the videos; more information on this issue is available in this article.

Converting movie for use in FCP - Cont.

Hi--Thanks for the answers yesterday, but now I have another, or two.
I used MPEG Streamclip choosing ProRes (LT) to convert an animation file that was 20fps. Opening the ProRes version in QT I see it is still 20fps. Ok, so I guess I should have chosen the frame rate in MPEG. But for reference I made another movie using HDV 720p30, but I see it is still 20fps. Why doesn't it change it to 30fps since it is HDV 720p30? I guess I always need to choose frame rate.
So using the ProRes (LT) I will choose frame rate 30 and assuming all ProRes codecs are progressive I will uncheck 'Interlace Scaling'.
Now, in FCP's sequence I will be using these ProRes files of the animation and some footage from my Canon HV20 which is 1080i60. I want to keep the animation at 100%. So is a sequence setting of DVCPRO HD 720p30 the best choice?
Sorry if this is a bit confusing, but then I am a bit confused.
Thanks, you all have been great!

Hi again Elmer,
looks like that when I tune in you are around too:-)
yep I am slightly confused, however, try to convert everything into one editing format like ProRes including your HDV material, it appears that you can easily avoid using multiple formats in the timeline. A ProRes timeline should get you sorted.
