Converting .WMV files to iTunes and iMovie 08 compatible files -- Possible?

I have QuickTime Pro for Windows (XP Home, SP3). I also have a MacBook Pro 17" notebook (OS X 10.5 Leopard) with iLife 08, an iPod Touch, and an iPhone 3G. I want to be able to view (and sometimes edit) -- on my MacBook Pro -- videos (with audio) that exist as .WMV files which I have downloaded from a friend's website to a Shared Folder on my PC (which is connected to my MacBook on a LAN). I'll probably break down and spend the $30 to upgrade QuickTime on my Mac to QuickTime Pro so that I won't have to work through a Shared Folder, but that's neither here nor there for the moment. What I wanted to do was to use QT Pro to convert the .WMV files to an Apple-compatible format, but it doesn't seem to be able to do that. It will go ahead and APPEAR to convert the file during Export, changing the file extension from .wmv to .mp4, for example, but the exported (converted?) file won't play in the QuickTime Player. I can press the Play button, and the marker moves as if the file were playing, but no movie appears on the screen and no audio is heard. Will I have to get third-party software to effect the conversion?

Purchase one of the upgrades and use QuickTime Pro (iMovie '08 is still not supported).

Used to convert all my videos into iPhone mp4 format using Any Video Converter - then add it to my iPhone 3GS. But last few days, I cant add video files to iTunes. and the iTunes doesnt even specify the reason except for that "files are not supported"

Everyting was perfect earlier. Used to convert all my videos into iPhone mp4 format using Any Video Converter - then add it to my iPhone 3GS. But last few days, I cant add video files to iTunes. and the iTunes doesnt even specify the reason except for that "files are not supported"
Everything is fine.
-They are the right format
-Quicktime is updated
-I have tried simply dragging them into the 'movie' library
-I have tried going to file<add file to library
Nothing works, has anyone else had this problem and found a way around it?
Any and all help appreciated.

In addition to Mike's suggestions, you only have 4GB of RAM and Mavericks does use more RAM than other versions. You may also want to look at the apps that startup on login and the possiblity of upgrading RAM.

I accidentally deleted my media files from iTunes and Trash when I was trying to move the files to an external hard drive. Is there a way to restore the media files from a Time Machine backup or from iTunes Match? What are the steps to do this?

If you have been backing up on Timemachine.
All you need to do is enter time machine... Then the rest is obvious.
Find the iTunes folder and hit 'Restor'.
If not the only way to get all your iTunes music back is to enter iTunes Store.
On the right hand side you should see 'Purchased'.
Click 'purchased' and there you have it.

How do I permanently delete music files from itunes AND my computer (without going to the folder to delete each item)? It's a windows system. I've tried 'reset all dialogue warnings' as I've been told to do but no luck. Files are still in Itunes folders.

Solved! Music was in Itunes folder but not in Media folder within that. It doesn't seem like a very user friendly system so far!

How can I completely remove iTunes and all associated files/programs from my Windows PC?

How can I completely remove iTunes and all associated files/programs from my Windows PC?

iTunes, along with Quick Time, iCloud, Apple Software Update, Bonjour, Apple Mobile Device Support and Apple Application Support can all be removed from your PC by uninstalling them using 'Uninstall or change a program' in Control Panel. The only obvious thing that will be left behind is your iTunes library which remains untouched. If you want to remove that as well it's just a question of deleting it.
Hope that helps.

Imovie won't let me drag the songs from the music and sound effects into my 'project'... I have tried everything, restarting itunes and imovie, dragging the songs to my desktop and then onto imovie, youtube tutorials...

Don't drag them, import them from Media.

HT1660 when deleting music files from iTunes and you select Keep File, where is that file stored and how it is retireved?

when deleting music files from iTunes and you select Keep File, where is that file stored and how it is retrieved?

The file is just left where it was when it was connected to the library. Typically:
<User>/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music/<Artist>/<Album>/## <Name>.<Ext>
If you want to add it back just drag it into iTunes. If you want to cull the files you kept previously add the entire iTunes Media folder back into iTunes (or use one of Doug's scripts that has the same effect), then delete (and don't keep) the recent additions.
Note that warning/prompt is only issued when the files you are removing are located inside the designated iTunes Media folder.

HT203167 i downloaded the latest update ios 7.0.4 and update my iphone 5, but to my surprise i couldnt locate the downloaded file on itunes and i've also checked my itunes folder, still cant see the file. pls anybody who can help.

The downloaded file is probably stored at C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates. In general it is probably best to "download and install" updates than download and then install later. Note that you cannot revert to the older firmware if you don't like the update, even if you have the old .ipsw files.

If there is no metadata maintained for an idoc type, the metadata for that idoc type gets loaded when an idoc of that type is received by PI for the first time. If you are looking at loading metadata of all idoc types before the first run, its really not required. Just make sure that the port is configured properly. Although, there is no harm in preloading the metadata using IDX2.
You need to use IDX2 mandatorily when the the metadata changes and the metadata in ECC and PI is different. In that case, you need to delete metadata for the changed IDoc type and then either you can update the metada through IDX2 or let the system take care of.

Pass through scenario in SAP PI with no mapping for File to IDoc and Idoc to file scenarios

Hi Experts,
Can i have step by step process in SAP PI for pass through scenario with no mapping in case of file to Idoc and Idoc to file both cases please.
What objects i can skip.
My PI system is 7.3 dual stack.
I have seen below blogs, still its confusing to me.
When and how to create an scenario in SAP PI without mapping objects.
Pass Through Scenario with no Mapping in PI 7.1
Appreciate your help on this.
Regards,
Mohan.

Hi Mohan
In pass thru interface you don't need to create any ESR objects, only ID objects are required.
Just Create a Receiver Determination and Receiver Agreement for your scenario (no need for Interface Det. and Sender Agreement).
Specify the IDOC in the Sender Interface and namespace as urn:sap-com:document:sap:idoc:messages
Or instead of creating objects manually, Run the wizard with Idoc name/namespace in sender/receiver interface
