"Create ACC-Version" shortens my tracks!

I have the newest update of iTunes (11.1.3), and I tried to make ACC version of my tracks, and iTunes cut most of them at 3:47 or any other time so i had all my new tracks but they all stopped in the middle of the song! does anybody now how to fix this issue? is it just me having this?
Thank you!!

If you haven't used Smart Playlists before, review the page at the link below to learn some more.
Then create one using "Kind" as a criteria. You can set it to include only ACC files (you can use "Get Info" on a file to examine details and identify what the field values are).

"Create ACC Version" without files being saved in iTunes?

Hi, I want to create ACC versions of all the songs in of my iTunes library to put on my external hard drive. The problem is, once i create the ACCs, they're saved in iTunes, so now i have 2 different formats of every song. I have changed the iTunes media folder location to save on my external hard drive, but i still end up with duplicates for some reason. Is there a way to create the ACC versions without them being saved in iTunes? Thanks.

Setting bitrate in Create ACC version

I am preparing some material for a presentation and the organization specifies that my audio files must be at a bitrate of 128 (sample rate 44.100).
When I create the ACC it show at a bitrate of 256 (VBR). Is there a way of creating the AAC so I am sure that it is at a rate of 128.
If I-Tunes won't do it, what will?
Thanks,
maestrogn

ITunes creating shortened tracks when using 'create AIFF version'

Hello
Today I have noticed a problem when selecting a series of songs in iTunes and choosing "create AIFF version". The conversion will begin and then it will randomly hang on certain tracks. iTunes freezes for a minute or so, and then resumes conversion. I have just realised that the copy of the track on which the program hangs will be missing over a minute of audio from the real length of the song. This has happened several different times with different tracks.
I am using iTunes 10.6.1 on OS X Lion 10.7.3. Is anyone else having this problem? I am currently looking through all the tracks I've converted over the past month to try and work out how far back this problem started. I've recently had my iMac returned to me after being repaired by Apple for various problems including HDD issues and I am concerned that if this isn't a problem with the iTunes app then it's my hardware at fault.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks

hm, well it seems it may be another installment in the never-ending saga of bugs that ensues when you share a hard disk with your PC using AirPort...I can see AIFF files in that hard disk with my PC. Maybe after I restart my Mac the files will be available...

ITunes create AAC version cuts track length

I tried everything from deleting and adding the songs. and Installing uninstalling iTunes. I don't know what to do anymore. iTunes cuts down the track time of the converted version and yes, This is happening to the most of the plays. I used everytime because I always convert my MP3s to iTunes M4A version but now it's broken. I found a same thread to this issue here, but I don't think they already found a solution. I know I can use another 3rd party software to convert my tracks but I know iTunes converts different and now these please help me.
Sometimes iTunes cuts down 1sec of the songs total time but it still matter to me.
I hope you can help me. But sometimes its worst cutting down almost 20sec of the song.
(check out the last song)

Same. Ever since i updated my iTunes, a lot of crazy things are happening like when a drag an album and you will see the playlist sidebar there forever until you restart iTunes and more. I need to create AAC version of my files so I can add explicit and clean tags to some of my songs,
The only solution I know: If you're using Windows, try creating a new user account or turn on the guest account. Then open iTunes there and convert your files. Then, Copy the converted files to your admin account. It will work for a "while"

Create AAC Version failing in iTunes 8 for large files

Hi,
I'm having trouble converting a few large (1gb+) MP3 files to AAC versions.
The files are Audiobooks which have been ripped from CD, then merged into a single MP3 file (with a track CUE file created so I can add the chapter marks and create a final resulting M4B file).
The MP3 files are all encoded at 44.1KHz sample rate, 64Kbps bitrate, Mono audio. When converting anything under 1GB (using iTunes' Create AAC Version option), it seems to convert fine, however as soon as I try a file over 1GB it seems to start as expected, then get approx 2/3rds through, then restart. the restart however, does not start from the beginning, it starts from the point where it had got to. The resulting M4A file is corrupt and unplayable.
Am I doing anything wrong here, or is there some sort of size/length limitation on AAC encoded audio in MP4 containers?
On a side note, I have set the AAC import options to 44.1KHz, 64KBps bitrate, Mono audio, but this does not seem to be adhered to when converting an MP3 file, instead taking whatever settings iTunes seems to think as right...

Hi,
That software looks to be working perfectly so far - not only has it changed me from using three tools to do what this one does on its own, but it's also the first that's given me a clue as to why the other tools were failing!
When I first got it to convert the chaptered MP3 files across to AAC, it came up with a warning message saying something along the lines of "The audio files you have queued are a total of x,xxx,xxx,xxx frames long, which is longer than the AAC standards can accomodate. The following tracks will be removed...". Looks like it wasn't the filesize at all, but the bitrate was too high, and went over the file's limits that way instead.
Quick note on the settings: I tried the iTunes standard "64K Podcast" settings first of all, but the sample rate got set to 22K, which caused the speech to go all robot-like, and the S's slurred. Had to bump it back up to 44K (with 32K stereo bitrate, set to mono so 16K overall).
Overall, a very useful tool, thanks Chris!

"create aac version" only makes another .m4a file...

I am trying to use the "Create AAC Version" (right click on album) to create some files for playing in the car. When I select that option in the dropdown I find iTunes does indeed create a copy of the songs on the album but the file extension is duplicated to .m4a (same as original) and not .acc
Would appreciate any insight into what's going on here or what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks!

m4a is aac, it's just Apple's way of naming it. Change the extension to .aac if your car demands it but I am not sure how iTunes will react. If it is tons of files you can probably find an online bulk re-namer (I use a free one but they charge for it now with newer OSX versions).

Create AAC version grayed out iTunes 11

Hi!
I am running in Mavericks, iTunes 11. I have a song that I would like to convert to ringtone for my iPhone 5S.
I have followed the preliminary steps:
And I have made sure I have the proper Import settings:
However, when I go to File > Create New Version, the Create AAC Version option is grayed out:
I have tried both songs purchased through iTunes and songs I previously had, non-protected. The song is correctly highlighted. Has any of you faced this same issue? How did you resolve it?
Thanks in advance!

Why can't some one explain this problem clearly even from apple guys. ClaraMGR i know your problem clearly.
Latest I tunes can't convert your mp3 to ACC even if you change the extension from mp3 to ACC it wont allow you to drop in the tones.
This is not easy task, am computer tech guy i know how things works but i always ended up fighting with user interface with iTunes its very complected for general users. I spend almost a half day to figure out whats wrong with it. finally made my own crack. Am still not sure if this is right way but 100 percent it works not matter what your format is.
I imagine you Followed all this steps.
1. iTunes preffs > General. Click the Import Setings button and set it to AAC.
2. Make sure iTunes prefs > General has Tones ticked
3. This is the key point you need some converter mp3 to AAC i used soundforge open a mp3 in soundforge got to file save as AAC/MP4
4. rename the saved AAC to m4r. IF you don't see the extension type in to youtube unhide extension in windows.
5. Drag and drop the file in to itunes tone and go enable the itunes tone sync and click the sync it will convert the file to ringtone and puts in to your itunes tone folder automatically you done. Thats all i hope this will help some one.
6. got to iphone>general>sounds you will see your file on the top
Why this is not a one click button , Would be a lot easier if drag the file and right click convert to tone job done right. Why would some one make this so complected to spend days to figure out this is not a some thing we are achieving this is just a insane why would we spend hours of our valuable time to make ringtone this way. this isn't a one thing even i don't know how to grab my own photos from my iPhone its like am running circles around again and gain got nothing. Itunes is not user friendly, I really don't know how itunes software development user testing tools were implemented its pathetic. Even when i open to buy a apps thats insane shocking i never open that again, i dont find any proper apps, none of them is user friendly its so confusing that freaks me out spending my time on it, Am big fan of apple but am trying to convince my self with itunes but nooooooooooooooo its not easy and i got no time for thisssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Reason for creating New Version Best practice

Hello SAP Gurus,
We know we are creating new version of the DIR when it is required to make a change in the original keeping in tact the Older file also for reference,
we want to know when a new version of the document is getting created how can we specify, why and what made us to create this new Version, we would like to capture this reason in SAP so the user can easily come to know why this Version is created,
can you please let us know, where actually are we capturing this details while creating the new version,
i know there are lot of free entry fields like Generic object Text field, Long text field, change the description, place the text in the WR log field of the new Version,
which is the best practice so that the user can easily come to know the reason why this new version has been created,
may be they should see this reason details in CV04N search as well, or immediately when opening the new version.
Thanks and regards
Kumar

Hello Kumar
Hope following explanation will clarify your questions
We have to classify our documents broadly in two category 1) Controlled document --means which under goes various level of / Inspection / review / approval etc with in Organisation e.g. Engg Drawing , Standard Operating Procedure for business purpose, best way for this is use Engineering Change Management (ECM)Functiuon and when you make any up versions, you can track / write key docu ment history in ECM
also when you do up version let say in Micosoft word , you can maintain simple table to track what is purpose of change, in what location you are making chnage and its justification.
For Engineering drawing of 2D /3D we can use Redlining functions to createt the Lawyers to know reviwers observation so that next version thopse are taken care
2) Uncontrolled Document---Generally they are less significant from document Change Control point of view
Hope this is useful

Replacing library using "Create AAC Version."

I would like to replace my music with AAC verions, using the "Create AAC Version" option in the right click context menu.
Normally when you do this you end up with two of each song, the original and converted version.
I would have to select every original version manually and remove them.
Is there a better way to do this?

Yes, but perhaps I am too late...
See https://discussions.apple.com/message/22022622#22022622 The current version of the script deletes the original files. I've been thinking about making a version that archives the files to some sort of parallel "Old Media" folder instead of deleting them entirely, just in case you discover the converted tracks aren't good enough after all. Would you be interested in that version?

How to 'create aac version'?

I can't create or convert any of my songs to aac formatting. It is set and it is within 30 seconds however it will not let me click on 'create aac version'.
Is there any way to fix this?

What exactly is the problem? Does it not give you the "create AAC version" command when you right-click on the track you wish to convert? Or does the command appear but not work? What version of Windows and iTunes are you running?
Regards.

Create mp3 version

When right clicking on a "purchased acc" which is not protected, create mp3 version is a selection. This is also available in the advanced tab at top beside the help tab. When I select this option from either location, it looks like it is downloading a file and an alert is sounded when finished but it does not put a duplicate file as an mp3 in the library. Am I missing a step?

I don't think you missed a step. Here's the procedure: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1550
Take a look at your music library in the list view. Sort by the date added column. If that column is not there, add it by using the View Menu -> View Options. Your new MP3 should be at the top of the list.

I have downloaded several songs and all the songs are either broken up or stops half way through . What can i do to sort this ? I have tried ACC version and it tells me an error has occurred.

I downloaded several songs yesturday to later realise that when played , all of them either break up or the song cuts off. I have tried ACC download / create ACC as suggested but all each song is saying is an error occurred. What do i do ?

What format are these problem tracks in? If they are MP3's, trying running them through the MP3 Validator utility to have it fix any missing or corrupted track data.
http://www.gromkov.com/faq/repair/mp3_validator.html
Then remove the tracks from the iPod and resync the newly repaired ones over to it.

HT1550 I'm having trouble with importing them into iTunes and converting them at the same time. when i hold down option over the files i can't find where its supposed to say create new version. is this if you're in iTunes?

You can't do it in one step. Add to iTunes first, Once the tracks are in iTunes you may convert to a different format.

Creating a new software instrument track in Logic Pro 9

When I create a new software instrument track in Logic 9, the newly-created track always defaults to "EVP 88 Electric Piano" instead of "Inst 1" like it's supposed to. Why does Logic do this and how can I restore the settings so that it opens the new track as "Inst 1."
Thanks much!!
Alex

That was added around 9.1.1 - presumably so people wouldn't create an instrument and then ask "I created an instrument, but it don't make no sound."
You can uncheck the open library box or go to HD>Library>App support>Logic>channel strip settings>Instrument>01 Logic instruments and change the one called something like "EVP88 Electric Piano" to just "Electric Piano."
