Could you confirm that ALAC doesn't play sample rate of 96 kHz?

Hi,
Could you confirm for me that ALAC doesn't play sample rate of 96 kHz? Because my codecs converter, regardless of what sampling I set up gives me 44.1 KHz in ALAC.
Thanks

Really? Can you back up that. It should be easy to prove. if it really is so. What kind of files don't fulfil that?
Newme,
Simple enough to demonstrate. If you take a WAV 96/24 and use iTunes to convert it to Apple Lossless and then back to WAV (using "Automatic" setting in both cases), you end up with a significantly smaller file. Something gets lost.
Asking this because DSD files can't actually be tuned into other formats without losing data. Whether there is actually anyone that can hear the difference is another matter of course :-)
Wasn't referring to DSD, but it is an interesting question. The usual lossless formats, ALAC and FLAC, are designed to improve on the inefficiencies of PCM encoding as is used in WAV, AIFF, and audio CDs. DSD is a horse of a different color, as it is not PCM based at all.

Please, can you confirm that after erase the phone using the find my iphone option, all my personal data will be completely unavailable? Someone stole my iphone 6 + on the street. I have already received a mail from apple confirming that is erased. Can I trust on this message? It really works? my 3G connection was working properly.
Thank you very much

Hey Joangil,
Yes! If you have received an email from Apple stating and confirming that it is erased then you should trust this message. It would have all been removed.
Sorry to hear that your iPhone has been stolen,

ITunes doesn't play.... what's up??

Ok, this is weird but I'm afraid the answer might be both obvious and tragic. All of a sudden, iTunes quit working completely, except that everything about it looks perfectly normal. It's not frozen, I can click on my playlists, I can drag the time bar and everything else, but that it doesn't play music, which is sort of an important part of iTunes. The play button does nothing other than briefly turn blue. It doesn't switch to the pause button and the time doesn't start to run. The space bar and the play tab in the menu do nothing either.
I've tried installing the latest version of iTunes, I'm now using 6.0.4. The upgrade didin't help. Everything had been fine until all of a sudden yesterday I couldn't get it to work. Now, the only problem I can think of is something sort of badand scary.... the disk utility has been telling me for a year now that my hard drive "has reported a fatal error." But so far everything has been working fine. Is there something about a fatal error that could keep the play button from working? I know fatal errors are serious, but this hasn't been causing any problems.... I've just been holding my breath for a year, and backing up a lot.
Are there any suggestions anybody can make, other than getting a new iBook, which is a sweet idea but out of the question at the moment?

Since you installed a new version, it's unlikely the iTunes application is the culprit.
The only thing I can thinks of at the moment, is deleting the iTunes preference files.
Drag the next files in ~/users/YourUsername/Library/Preferences to the desktop:
com.apple.iTunes.eq.plist
com.apple.iTunes.plist
com.apple.iTunesHelper.plist
com.apple.iTunes.xxxxxxxxxxxx.plist (x-es are characters and numbers)
The last file is located in the Byhost folder of the above mentioned path.
Run iTunes and try again to play a song.
Hope this helps.

ITunes doesn't play wavs made on PC

I have backed up a number of PC files on a DVD and tried to put them on my iPod shuffle, using iTunes on my MacPro, when I realized that iTunes doesn't play them, so I can't put them on the shuffle. However, those wav files play alright in Quicktime on my Mac. Why not also on iTunes? Is there something that I have to enable, or some sort of conversion that I must do?
The files seem to load in the playlist, then they show in both the playlist and the Music folder. The files seem to be there, for when I Ctrl+click > Get info, within iTunes, it shows their size, sample rate, etc. It's just that they won't play.
Any suggestion will be much appreciated.

Yes, I have played almost endless numbers of WAVs in iTunes. These files have been created with foobar2000, PlexTools Professional, and EAC for the most part.
My PC is switched off right now so I can't play with NMP WAV files and iTunes, but I still think that if you simply use another program to reconvert the problematic files to WAV format again (a lossless process) with known good settings, the files will likely play in iTunes.
Also, it may be that NMP has created "floating point" vs. "fixed point" WAVs, and that would cause problems with iTunes.

Doesn't play in WinDVD

Well, I got Encore DVD 2 in the Adobe Production Studio Suite; and I've gotta say I'm loving the whole package!
Now my problem is, I have burned 25 copies of a project and they play fine in all software DVD players except WinDVD.
In WinDVD, there is no video and the audio plays at about 2x speed with lots of cutouts. This does not occur in PowerDVD.
Does anybody know what the problem is? So far, when people have experienced this issue, I just downloaded VLC for them as that plays the disc fine. Still, its rather frustrating that it doesn't play on anybody's computer who's using WinDVD.
Has somebody come across this before, is there a fix?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! :)

HT202729 Why is it now there are Song in ITune Store that I can ONLY Play and Not Buy?

Why is it now there are songs that I can ONLY Play not Buy?

What do you mean 'only play and not buy' ? If you mean that a song has 'play' against it in the store then that implies that you've already bought it and it's in your iTunes library

As far as I know you can't delete the primary email address for an iCloud account. It's assigned when the account is created. But your neighbor wouldn't have been able to get into your iCloud account without your Apple ID and password. Are you sure the account wasn't still on your phone when you gave it to him?
You could migrate a copy of your data to a new iCloud account but I would still be concerned that someone else was using my old account, which presumably still has your data in it.
I'm fairly certain that you're going to have to have iCloud support help you sort this one out as they may have the ability to make changes to an existing account that users can't. Make an appointment with the genius bar at a nearby Apple store and have them take a look at it. If necessary, they should be able to contact iCloud support for you.

No, you cannot install SP3 on Express edition as Microsoft did not release it for Express Edition as noted here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlreleaseservices/archive/2014/09/26/sql-server-2008-r2-service-pack-3-has-released.aspx.

I'm trying to open files which are telling me to instal Adobe Reader. Which I did but the agreement which needs to be ticked off so this reader can open doesn't come up. Please could you be of some assistance.

I'm trying to open files which are telling me to instal Adobe Reader. Which I did but the agreement which needs to be ticked off so this reader can open doesn't come up. Please could you be of some assistance.

Select one of the files, Choose GetInfo from the Finder's File menu, look for the field named "Open With", and choose Preview from the adjacent menu. Accept that ALL such files will Open with Preview, and your major problems should be solved.
Occasionally, a particularly complex .pdf file or one that needs to be modified and re-written will not work quite right with Preview, but such issues are rare.

I'm from Brazil and I would like to know if the unlocked iPhone 5 which advertesed on the Apple Store webpage works fine in Brazil. Could someone from Apple please confirm that?

Hello Apple Support Team,
I'm from Brazil and I would like to know if the unlocked iPhone 5 which is advertesed on the US Apple Store webpage works fine in Brazil. Could someone from Apple please confirm that for me?
Thanks in advance.

The iPhone bought unlocked from the Apple store in the US will work in Brazil on GSM. Nevertheless the LTE frequencies might be different.
Be aware that:
You will NOT be able to order from the US Apple online store. You will have to go to a physical Apple store in the US.
The warranty is only valid in the US and you will not be able to get warranty service in Brazil.
With all of that, why not buy the iPhone in Brazil?
