Create an aac version problem bug

Hello ! okay so since 30 minutes I'm trying to create an Aac version of a song... I had many problems but I'v solved them. For example I didn't find ''Create aac version '' .
Now I'm clicking on ''create aac version '' but the only thing it's telling me is ''non of the selected files were conevrted because they could not be found ''
I tried going in my preferences and every thing is okay in my importing settings... it's aac.
But I still have the problem ! What am I supposed to do ?
Thank you

What version of iTunes are you using and what computer OS are you using? Do you have the song selected before you try and create the AAC version?

Create AAC version problems - songs cut off

I am running the most recent version of iTunes on my laptop (11.3.1?...my laptop is at home, and I'm not) on Windows 8, but I think I've been having this problem since I was on Windows 7, and on previous versions of iTunes as well.
I'm importing a bunch of MP3 files into my library. There doesn't seem to be anything special with them...usually CBR @ 320kbps (they are music I've downloaded directly from artists' websites).
However, I'm a little OCD, so I'd like all of my music in iTunes to be AAC. So I try converting these MP3s to AAC using the built-in function. I use the iTunes plus encoder, but the problem seems to happen with the lower quality settings as well. The conversion seems to work properly, however every AAC version of the song that gets created is exactly 3 minutes 37 seconds long. If the original song is longer than that, it gets cut off at that point. I don't recall offhand what happens if the original song is shorter than 3:37...I don't know if I had any that were shorter than that to begin with to test.
Obviously there isn't a "Make every song 3:37" setting, so I doubt it's a setting that is mis-set. I'm guessing there's something else on my laptop that is interfering with iTunes working properly, but for the life of me I couldn't tell what. When I upgraded from Windows 7 to 8, it was a clean install, so there shouldn't be anything lingering from that. Also, I created a new library when I did that upgrade, so I doubt there was anything that came over with that. So it's possible it's something that I may have installed after I set the laptop up, but I'd have no way of telling other than wiping, reinstalling, and testing after every app has been installed.

Neil,
It is an iTunes bug. There have been various versions of that bug reported here. It occurs more often with VBR, but you are seeing it with CBR.
However, I STRONGLY suggest that you leave your MP3/320s alone. OCD or no, there is absolutely no advantage to the conversion. Virtually anything that can handle AAC can play MP3 (and the reverse is not at all true). Worse, the conversion itself has the potential to introduce audio degradation, which is probably not what you want.
Or, if you really must do the conversion, use a competent 3rd party conversion program such as Switch.

ITunes create AAC version problem

The create AAC version option is missing and instead there is a Create mp3 version option instead. Is this a problem with iTunes or did Apple decide it wants more money by making it impossible to create ringtones from songs we OWN?

No, it's neither a problem with iTunes nor something Apple has changed (nor is it an iTunes Store issue, which is the forum you posted in). You just need to change the settings to AAC:

HT5704 6.1.3 version problems/bugs

I have downloaded the 6.1.3 version and keep having problems with my phone. Every time I pick the phone up, it vibrates and turns the phone onto silent/ load. Has anyone else had this problem?

Sounds more like the mute switch is physically failing.

Create AAC version crashing Itunes 10.1

Does anyone know why when you go to try and create an AAC version of a song that Itunes 10.1 crashes? ive tried with different songs and it still crashed

There was a bug in version 10.1.0.54 that caused that for some people, skater.
Try updating to 10.1.0.56, available at:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Can you import without the errors now?

Where has the create aac version option gone?

I like all my music in my iTunes to be in the same bitrate so I convert it all using the create an AAC Version option but it's no longer there. Whats going on? It has vanish over night.

Hey shockpopdisco,
That option is still there. Take a look at your iTunes Preferences by going to the drop menu Edit > Preferences, in the General tab you should see and option for Import Settings… and the option for AAC will be there as an option. Take a look at the article below for more information.

Create Ringtones in iTunes 10- AAC Version greyed out

Need assistance creating ringtones in iTunes 10:
I have iTunes 10 on a Windows PC. I went into Preferences, General, IMPORT SETTINGS and set it to AAC Encoder and HIGH QUALITY (128 bkps) and checked the Error Correction.
The AAC Version in the ADVANCED drop down is still showing as being GREYED out after selecting an MP3 with 0 and 30 seconds as the time limits in GET INFO for a song.
I have searched for a possible "fix" to get the AAC Version to be available. Nothing works so far. HELP!!
[email protected]

I had the same problem until I realized that I first need to buy the song and then create the ringtone from the already purchased song. The instructions could have been made clearer on this, and it would be great if you could use the ring tone creation tool to check if the song really fits before you buy the song…
Good luck

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

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 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!

Problems using projects created in older versions of iMovie

I have a few projects created in older versions of iMovie, as far back as version 2 as well as more recent versions. Most of those projects are finished and I want to burn them to DVD again, but a couple of them could bear a little touch up editing. These projects are precious movies of our kids and hard to replace. Although I could probably find the original video, I put many hours of work into creating these projects.
In any case, when I open up an old project, I get a warning that goes something like this: "The project was saved with an older version of iMovie. Opening it in this version will cause it to be upgraded, which will make it unreadable by older versions. Are you sure you want to open it?"
I clicked okay, thinking "sure, I don't need to play it in an older version. I have iMovie HD."
However, now when I play my old iMovie project, there are a few problems. For example, one original movie's title was over black. When I play the movie, I get a completely white screen and no title. Also, in another movie, when viewing the movie in full screen, the transitions were replaced by a black screen (although the transitions were there when I viewed the movie in the iMovie window). Basically, there are problems cropping up here and there.
I need to do some more experimenting with all this to more fully understand how many problems there are. I don't know if the projects I opened in iMovie HD are now "broken" since I "upgraded" them with iMovie HD (when prompted to save the project's changes when quitting, I said NO, don't save changes).
I don't know if I should use older versions of iMovie to view and burn to DVD these projects. (I still have iMovie 2 and 3, but not 4 or 5. I don't know if older versions would even work on my Quad G5 with OS 10.4.7.) I also don't know if the older versions of iMovie would work with the current version of iDVD. How can I tell which version of iMovie was originally used for a given project? How can I find iMovie 4 or 5 if I need it?
I also wonder if projects I make with iMovie HD can be opened by future versions of iMovie, or if I should export them as Quicktime or something to be safe.
As I start to look into this further, I would appreciate any comments, suggestions, and experiences that you may be able to offer. I need to get these movies back to their former selves, when they looked good!

Excellent! That should leave you in pretty good shape. More below.
I don't know if I should use older versions of iMovie
to view and burn to DVD these projects. (I still have
iMovie 2 and 3, but not 4 or 5. I don't know if older
versions would even work on my Quad G5 with OS
10.4.7.)
The old versions of iMovie will run just fine in today's OSX. (But not iMovie 2 if it was the version that ran in Classic instead of Mac OSX.)
I run versions 2,3,4,5 and 6 today. Problems are minimal.
I also don't know if the older versions of
iMovie would work with the current version of iDVD.
That's not a problem unless your old iMovie projects contain chapters. If you tell iMovie 3 to create a new iDVD project, it might not work. You might not be able to transfer the chapter information to the newer version of iDVD.
(I just tested iMovie 3 to iDVD 6 and everything worked just fine.)
Except for iMovie 2, all old versions of iMovie stored a small QuickTime reference movie in the project folder. If you can't get an old version of iMovie to play nice with iDVD, drag that movie into the iDVD window.
How can I tell which version of iMovie was originally
used for a given project?
Drop the project file (discussed below) onto the TextEdit icon in the Dock. The version of iMovie that last saved the project is shown in the first few lines of the project file.
iMovie 5 used an entirely different project file format, the pList format. The top of the project file will look like this in TextEdit:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
How can I find iMovie 4 or
5 if I need it?
eBay?
I also wonder if projects I make with iMovie HD can
be opened by future versions of iMovie, or if I
should export them as Quicktime or something to be
safe.
We can never assume any new version of iMovie will be able to understand all features of a older project. It's always smart to make a backup.
There can be problems Apple can't anticipate. There may be third-party software used to create titles, transitions and special effects, plug-ins not installed with the new version or (more often, incompatible). The fonts installed on our Mac may have changed too. There's lots of features that can't be anticipated. I've never had a problem converting projects, but I never use third-party add-ons and special fonts.
As I start to look into this further, I would
appreciate any comments, suggestions, and experiences
that you may be able to offer. I need to get these
movies back to their former selves, when they looked
good!
My guess is it should be possible to restore the projects back to their original state.
Note that when imovie 5/6 converts an older project, it does NOT create a true iMovie HD project. Instead of creating an iMovie package, it retains the project FOLDER format. It places new iMovie HD elements inside the old project folder instead of converting it to a package.
When converting the project it changes the old project file name to "Sample Project Name.iMovie2Project", then creates a NEW project file with the plist format, having the name "Sample Project Name.iMovieProj". (There may NOT be the .iMovieProj extension.) When you save the new project, it adds a new project file "Sample Project Name.~iMovieProj". Note the tilde. The tilde file is a backup of the project file as it was when last saved in iMovie HD.
For our purposes, ignore the iMovie HD project files. We'll use the file ".iMovie2Project" to restore the project. (The extension is the same for all old versions of iMovie, not just iMovie 2.)
• In the Finder, Duplicate the entire project folder. Work on the copy.
• Open the project folder in the Finder.
• Discard the "Cache" folder, the "Shared Movies" folder, the "Audio Waveforms" folder and the two iMovie HD project files. (Some of those items may not yet exist yet because you didn't save the converted project.)
• Drop the "Sample Project Name.iMovie2Project" file onto the TextEdit icon in the Dock to get the version. Close it.
• Remove the ".iMovie2Project" extension, if you want.
• Launch that version of iMovie. Drop the "Sample Project Name.iMovie2Project" file icon on the iMovie icon in the Dock. With luck, the project should open normally. It's possible any third-party plug-ins used to create the project may not be available. If they aren't available, there might still be problems.
• Move your unconverted projects to folders that say which version of iMovie created them. To open them in the future, drop the project icon on the appropriate version of iMovie.
If all this fails, there is another way to do the editing you want. That is to import the project.mov file that's inside the converted project folder to a new iMovie HD project. That will deliver the video and audio of the original project as a single clip. Use that to re-edit the project. The name of the movie is "Sample Project Name.mov".
(The movie is a QuickTime reference movie, with no video and audio of its own, just pointers to the files in the Media folder. So long as the Media folder hasn't changed, it can play the original project as last saved.)
Importing the project.mov won't work with iMovie 2 projects, however, for iMovie 2 didn't store a project.mov file in the project folder.
Even if you end up importing the project.mov, you still may want to "unconvert" the project as described above.
Hope I haven't skipped a step. Let me know if you bump your head on something.

ITunes crashes every time I attempt 'Create AAC Version'

Why, all of a sudden, using Windows XP and latest version of iTunes, does my iTunes crash every time I attempt to 'Create AAC Version' of any song? I've been converting to AAC for years, and I don't think I downloaded any updates recently but out of nowhere I can no longer use this crucial space-saving feature.

I was mistaken, the crash does not occur with just any song.. it is just one cluster of files. Even still, might anyone have a diagnosis and/or remedy for this issue?

ITunes 12 has no option to create AAC version

iTunes 12.0.1.26
iOS 8.0.2 (12A405) on associated iPhone 5S
Win7 Home Prem SP1
Core i7-4700MQ 4xcore CPU @ 2.4 GHz
129 GiB free on bootable C partition (SSD); 509 GiB free on data partition (conventional magnetic HDD)
I make original ringtones. I just created a new one, imported it to my iTunes library first as an mp3, then as a wav file. When I right-click the associated file in either its mp3 version or wav version, the "Create AAC Version" selection in the context menu no longer appears, not even as a greyed out item, even though "Create MP3 Version" does appear.
Are .m4r files still the native ringtone format for iOS 8? Has the procedure for creating ringtones changed?

In Preferences (CTRL + ,), in the General tab, click on Import Settings...
You need to select AAC Encoder in the Import Using drop down menu.
Now Create AAC Version should appear in your right-click context menu.
