"Covert High Bitrate to AAC 128K...." for iPod Shuffle Broken in iTunes 7

I store all my music in Apple lossless for home listening, then use the covert to AAC 128K when laoding my shuffle...great feature, the reason I went the iTunes/shuffle route. This worked good, although a little slow in 6. It is now broken in iTunes 7, it takes an hour per song - not usable. Any ideas on this?

It seems to me that you've ended up somewhere between AIFF and AAC. Because WMP supports buttloads of formats, it will play the files, the iPod is much more finicky.
There are two settings on the importing tab preferences pane: one that chooses the file format, the other at what bit rate. Simply select AAC and 128 or higher and reimport music from CD's. I would recommend deleting the AIFF versions BEFORE you reimport however, so you or iTunes don't get confused as to which one is which since the titles will all appear exactly alike.
Good Luck.
JM

  • Volume limiter for ipod shuffle?

    Have been reading about Apple introducing a user-definable volume limiter for ipod nano's and fifth gen ipod's.
    Anyone know if this software is going to be made available for ipod shuffle's? (You could adjust the settings for it from within itunes)
    Toshiba laptop   Windows XP  

    I doubt it because the shuffle doesn't have a screen. You should send Apple your feedback if you really feel that you need to be heard!

  • HT1477 is it same ac adopter for ipod shuffle and iphone

    is it same ac charger for ipod shuffle(4th generation) and iphone.

    I was wondering about i0S5.  I updated both my iPhone and my son's iPod Touch.
    We are on the same account together.
    I sent him a text message and it shows up on his phone as coming from Dad (me).
    But on my phone, I get a two text messages popping up from me also.
    If my son replies from his iPod to me, it comes to me twice again.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Can I fix this?
    Thanks

    I am trying to sync my ipod shuffle to the itunes on my computer.  When I try to sync I go to the drop down file tab.  PULL up "devices" But the extended options of SYNC, RESTORE, Transfer and Backup won't allow me to click on them.  How do I activate?

    Those menu bar commands are disabled when you do not have a device (your shuffle) selected in iTunes.
    If the iTunes sidebar (along left side of iTunes) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show Sidebar.  In the sidebar, your shuffle should be listed under DEVICES.  Click on it there to select it.  Now, those commands under the File menu should be accessible.
    However, once you have the shuffle selected, many of those "device-related" commands in the menu bar are also on the iTunes window.  For example, there is a Sync button at the low-right corner of the window, which does the same thing as the command in the menu bar.

  • Why won't my iPod shuffle connect to itunes?

    I just bought the iPod Shuffle 4th Generation and downloaded iTunes onto my laptop today. The Shuffle won't connect to my iTunes or my computer properly.
    When I connected it to the computer (Windows 7), it said "unable to sync device" or something like that. I know it's not my USB ports because everything seems to work with it EXCEPT for the Shuffle. In iTunes, the Shuffle won't even show up in the devices. It's not my first time using iTunes. I used to have it on my old computer, but this is the first time this has ever happened to me. In terms of the Shuffle itself, I turned it on and pressed play and it just keeps saying "please use iTunes to music onto this device"
    I already tried the troubleshooting guide, but that doesn't seem to work either ...

    If that error message says "unknown device" (it's not about syncing), the cause may be iTunes not being installed properly.  When iTunes is installed, it also installs drivers that allow Windows to recognize iPods.  You should try installing iTunes again.  You can download the latest iTunes installer here
    https://www.apple.com/itunes/
    If that does not help, you may need to completely uninstall iTunes (and related components), then reinstall

  • How to preserve embedded artwork when converting to AAC 128kbps for iPod?

    Hi
    I am using the new 'convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps ACC' option in iTunes 9.1.1 (12). All of my artwork is embedded in Apple Lossless files, but on conversion to AAC for the iPod this embedded artwork gets stripped out of the file. Instead I am getting about 12 ithmb files in the iPod_Control/Artwork/ folder totalling about 6GB which probably corresponds to all the embedded artwork for all the tracks, i.e. 20000 tracks x 300KB = 6GB, and an ArtworkDB file, which presumably is for CoverFlow.
    Because I use PodWorks to backup my iPod Music to my Mac I would like all of the artwork to stay embedded in the AAC files, so that it gets uploaded to the Mac. Artwork stays embedded when you make an AAC version of an Apple Lossless track in iTunes normally, but not it would seem when transferring to the iPod. And if this new method of encoding on the fly to the iPod can't preserve embedded artwork then it makes little sense to clog up the iPod with 6GB of artwork!
    I am wondering if there is any setting I am missing to get this working, or if this is something Apple still need to get around to sorting,
    Thanks
    Nick

    Please!!
    I'm not silly...
    As I said, selecting View actual size shows the image with sometimes drastically impaired quality (regardless of the window size).
    I also said I have preferences set to view at 100%
    It now seems as if this is only happening with scans I've made here.
    Images downloaded from the internet are converting indentically, no problem. But my scans are being resized when converting.
    I wonder if anyone with a bit of technical know-how can give me some clues as to why this is happening. It would seem to be something to do with the file itself.
    (There was another post on here with the same problem but for some reason its been 'archived' though the last posting was this month and the query was not answered. So I've posted the question again.)

  • HT1481 How to find a driver for iPod Shuffle 2nd generation

    Could someone please direct me to a place I can find a driver for a 2nd generation iPod Shuffle? In Windows 7  it says Device not Recognized, unknown driver. In device manager says there is no driver, I've tried everything. I would really like to use this again.

    The required drivers should be installed when you install iTunes.  The latest version is available here

  • Request for a replacement USB cap for iPod Shuffle 1st Gen. Gifting the iPod my grandma for birthday.

    Hi,
    I have an iPod Shuffle 1st Generation 512Mb. I am planning to gift it to my grandma for her birthday but unfortunately, the I have lost the USB cap that covers the built in USB port on it. I have not had any luck finding it, and I was wondering if someone could kindly guide me to get a replacement please?  Contact me @ [email protected] and if it helps, I live in India so even if I need to order it online/or from overseas, that shouldn't be a problem. Please help.

    I'm confused... is your shuffle a white plastic thing that looks like a pack of gum, or an aluminum one with a clip.
    The reason for the confusion is that you said:
    "+I have only had the iPod for a little over 4 months+"
    If it's that new, Apple will replace it under warranty...however if it's a 1st Gen shuffle that's just that new to you, then it may be that the switch on the back is full of crud. It can be cleaned by someone adept with simple tools and at at following directions: http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/iPod/iPod-Shuffle/Hold-Switch/98/1/

  • Wish list for iPod Shuffle improvements.

    Wish Apple would come out with a battery indicator for the iPod shuffle in the dock or pull down windows! Or maybe put a battery indicator in iTunes window under 'autofill', something to indicate the battery level and if it is charging or not. The idiot lights on the iPod are ambiguous and leave the user in doubt.

    Send your feedback to apple.
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipod.html
    I don't however see the problem with the lights. When it is solid green it is charged. Solid orange charging but safe to disconnect. Flashing orange charging and in use (don't disconnect). Orange and green indicates error.

  • Changing registered owner for iPOd Shuffle

    I just bought an iPOD shuffle as a gift for my friend's birthday. I wanted to give it to him pre-loaded with some of his favorite songs. He's not a registered iTunes user yet. If I register the product to myself and download some songs using my account, can he later re-register the product under his own name and under a new account? If so, how difficult would this be for me to do? (he's not very techno savvy). It wouldn't matter if the songs I had downloaded got erased in the process.

    Unfortunately I don't have an answer but I'm wondering the same thing. I noticed this question was never answered.
    If I change to a new Apple ID on my iPhone, will I lose all my existing apps?
