Covert file types After they are in library?

I imported a couple audiophile gradeCD's and went completely loss-less. File sizes are massive of course, so now I want to convert them to 256k apple loss-less files.
How do I do this After they are already in iTunes?
I checked every menu apple offers, I can't find any way to change the file type unless I delete the files and put them back on the hard drive using the file type I want.
I'm no mac pro yet, only switched solely to mac less than 2 months ago. Help?

Just change your Import setting to whatever format you want to convert them to and select the option to Convert selection to xxxx. This used to be available by right-clicking the track, but I believe it is now under the Advanced menu (within the main iTunes interface).
This will create a second file in the new format; you can then trash the huge file.
And there's more info here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1550

Where do files go after they are unzipped?

I have downloaded a zip file that open up to a .pkg file. It is a user manual that is a .pdf file. When I go to look for it I can't find it anywhere on my computer. I have tried looking for it with spotlight using the file name but it is nowhere to be found. Please help. Thanks.

It should reside in the same location as the .pkg file.
Check the trash as well.

Missing Read Emails in Inbox after they are a few days old?

I recently hooked up my AOL IMAP email account to work with Apple Mail. I think i set it up properly as it seems to have been working fine sending & receiving for the past week. However I am now noticing now that the read emails left in my inbox to follow up on are in fact disappearing from the inbox & the entire email application after they are aprox. 2-3 days old. Is there a way to stop that from happening?

An AOL email account must be created as an IMAP type account with the Mail.app or with any other email client such as the Mail.app.
An IMAP type account's Inbox mailbox in Mail and with other email clients is synchronized with the server. There is no setting in Mail to automatically remove messages from the server for the Inbox mailbox for an IMAP type account.
This is done by AOL. You can check with AOL but I don't believe there is an available setting at the server to prevent this from occurring when accessing the account with an email client such as the Mail.app.
To avoid this, create and utilize a user created "On My Mac" location mailbox or mailboxes which are stored locally on the hard drive. When moving a received message from the Inbox mailbox for an IMAP type account to a user created "On My Mac" location mailbox, the transferred message is stored locally on the hard drive and is also removed from the server at the same time.
This will prevent losing any received messages before AOL automatically purges the account's Inbox mailbox at the server after a designated period of time.

I have a new Sony alpha 77ii. My PS version is 5.0. When I open the files in Bridge, they are .ARW files. How do I convert them to JPEG's so I can view and edit them?

You can use Adobe's free DNG converter to convert proprietary raws to the universal DNG raw format. Here are the links:
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Windows : Adobe DNG Converter 9.0
Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh : Adobe DNG Converter 9.0
Converting to JPEG will be an extra step afterwards.

Why does iPhoto keep asking me to confirm faces after they are already confirmed?

Why does iPhoto keep asking me to confirm faces after they are already confirmed?
Once it searches for photos containing (insert name) and says "(insert name) maybe found in 1,750 photos". I click to confirm the said person and it highlights the photos already found in that persons "folder", which already contains 662 photos AND it does not show any of the unconfirmed photos. However, it told me that it found 1,750 photos....where are the missing unconfirmed pictures for me to tag? I have already rebuilt my thumbnails (which already took 3 days to do as I have MANY photos).

Basically your player is telling you that you need to install the codecs that will play the compressed data within the AVI file.
AVI is a legacy file container in which the tracks of data are interleaved to maintain synchronization. This data can be encoded using many different audio and video codecs. Your problem is to determine which codecs you need for the player you are trying to use and install them if they are available. Failing that, your will either have to play the files in a different player which has the codec support your require built into the app or convert the content to a compression format that is natively compatible with the player you wish to use.
Since you have not stated what platform, operating system, and particular player you are targeting for playback, it is difficult to provide precise instructions for fixing your specific problem at this point. Suggest you try alternative players compatible with your system and platform to see if they will play the files, use a dedicated media information utility to determine the codecs needed for playback, or post a sample file for analysis.

Have AE7; Problem importing prproj file into pc; get placeholder instead. What do I need to do to open up the video files here. They are .mov in quicktime.

Please be more specific. What Premiere project? What version of Premiere? Which operating system? What CoDecs do the QT fiels use? Are all the video files in the correct folders inside the Premiere project structure? Your description sounds like you are attempting to open a Mac based project on a PC and your video files are either in the wrong location or use a Mac-specific CoDec, hence they cannot be read on a PC.

Can I delete photos on my iPhone or iPad after they are on my iCloud? How do I retrieve pics from iCloud?

Can I delete pictures off my device once I have pics on my photo stream? How do I pull them from iCloud once they are deleted?
Thanks!!!

Yes. To back up your photos, save them to your computer while they were in the camera roll, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. You will get an option to delete them from your device after they are imported.
If you have photo stream photos that you need to back up, save them from your my photo stream album to your camera roll. Then they can be imported too.

Greetings;
This seems to an ongoing issue (see related discussion link). We've been experiencing the same update lag since last Friday. The new additions to the Collection appear and are accessible in both the iPad and iPhone applications, but even though they additions appear in "Quick View", the material doesn't appear in the Collection itself. Apple is aware of the issue and is investigating. All the best...

I have files that say they are missing or offline. I have checked all my folders off of lightroom and they can not be found. I have used the ? mark settings to find and still not found. I can see the images on lightroom so they have to be in my system some how. How can I retrieve these images? Is there a re boot for lightroom? Need help ASAP!

You have probably moved the files outside of Lightroom. The images you see in LR are previews that were made before you moved the files.
Do a search for the files/folders using your computers operating system. (Explorer/Finder)
Once you have found them, you can point LR to the right location.

When downloading files in Safari - they are deleted - with the message "contained virus" - whatever site I download from - even my own files from online storage sites. Very irritating. Any suggestions?

When I download file sin Safari they are deleted automatically. The message I get is: "deleted because it contained a virus".
How do I solve this?
I have uninstalled and installed Safari a couple of times - to no avail.
I have no trouble in other navigators.
Thank you.

VERIZON...please help or you are going to lose this customer...and why oh why do you make it impossible to contact you!??!?!
