"Digital Music" and Itu

Does anyone know if?Sound Blaster Digital Music works?with itunes AAC files. the details on the creative web page only mention MPS/WAV files. I have played itunes out of my pc through a stereo amp and it sounds awful, looking at some way of improving the sound back up to cd sound. I only have an intergrated sound card. If 'Digital Music' cannot do this does anyone know of a way to do it's?

Drag them from the iTunes window to the player on the desktop.

Digital Booklet - music and booklet in unfortunate separation.

Hi everyone - this is my first post in this forum.
I have an annoyance with iTunes and it is driving me to the border of sanity... Here goes:
I've purchased an album in iTunes including a digital booklet. At first all appeared to be correct. However, I wanted to be able to view my booklet on the iPhone 3GS, so I changed the booklet's type to 'Book' instead of 'Music'. Now it disappeared from the album and appeared in Books and sync'ed perfectly to the iPhone - no problem so far.
OK - then after some weeks or so I removed the album and booklet from my iPhone and I wanted to view the booklet as type 'Music' in iTunes again. Change type to 'Music' and ...??? What the... Allright, the booklet is in "place" in 'Music' but as a separate album.
Why is that - and more important --> how do I fix it? Tags are already updated in the booklet to reflect the correct artist and album.

HT4436 originally my kids used my apple account, now they want there own. Can they keep there photos and music and move it to a new account?

I want to create a new account and transfer my photos and music to the new account. How can I do that?

Your talking about the famous AppleID divorce
There is no way to "move" music, apps, or photostreams between iCloud/AppleID accounts easily, but there are some ways to maybe salvage everything they want and get it to their individual devices. I'm going to assume that each has an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, and that you all have one or more computers with iTunes (macs or PC's, shouldn't matter).
In any case, this isn't likely to be a quick fix for you, so clear a couple of hours in the evening and grab a beverage of your choice. Here are a few ways to manage the divorce:
Separate iCloud (ie, contacts, calendars, etc) accounts for each person, Shared iTunes Music/Apps:
This approach allows each person to have their own device backups, plus their own address books, calendars, etc, and it allows everyone to share the apps and music that has been and will be purchased. This will also mean each has their own photostreams as well. With calendars and photostreams, you can create "shared" versions of each so you and they can collectively contribute and modify the calendar, and can collectively contribute to a shared photostream.
The great benefit to this approach is that all of the music and apps that have been purchased will continue to be available on all of the devices.
The disadvantage is that with the shared iTunes account, everybody is sharing everybody else's gift cards and/or money that is in the account. Monitoring it is a manual process.
To setup this scenario:
Create a new iCloud account (ie, new AppleID's) for everyone, including yourself.
In the iCloud settings on each mobile device use the new iCloud account (ie, AppleID) for that person.
Use those same iCloud credentials for the iCloud settings in each person's account on the computer. (Note that if you do NOT use separate accounts for each person on the computer, this method will not work for synching the iCloud stuff, just the iTunes stuff. I highly recommend you create user accounts on the computer for each person).
On your mobile devices, in the iTunes and App Store settings continue to use the "original" AppleID under which all of the music and apps were purchased.
In iTunes for each user account on the computer, continue to use the "original" Apple ID, just like on the mobile devices.
For each person's photos that they wish to keep, make sure that they are currently in the mobile device's camera roll (just as Winston suggested).
Now the device's and computer user accounts are all setup. When the mobile device's are synched to user's (or the common) iTunes app, all of the music and apps will stay, and all of the photos that were previously in each user's camera roll will still be there.
Separate iTunes Accounts, Shared iCloud Account
This approach allows each person to have their own iTunes account for music and apps, but will keep all of the iCloud stuff (like contacts and calendars and photostreams) identical accross everybody's devices. This is particularly useful if the kids get their own gift cards and are not amenable to sharing with their family and you want to continue to have identical address books, calendars, and photostreams.
The main drawback to this approach is that it is possible that each individual will lose access to some music and all purchased apps. That will depend highly upon when the music was purchased. ie, was it purchased before or after Apple went to a digital rights management (DRM) free model for music. All purchased apps will technically be lost, but sometimes its still possible to "keep" those apps via iTunes and your device will continually and annoyingly ask you for the credentials (ie, the original AppleID) under which the app was purchased.
Another drawback is that the free iCloud storage account is likely to be enough to backup all of your devices (if you have more than 1). Therefore, you will likely have to purchase a larger iCloud storage plan.
To setup this scenario:
Create a new AppleID for each person for use in the iTunes Music/App store. Remember to keep your original AppleID that was used for all of the purchases to date.
On each mobile device, in the iTunes and App Store settings input the new AppleID for each user. On one of the devices (you'll have to figure out on which one it makes the most sense), continue to use the original AppleID.
In the iCloud settings for each device (and the computer accounts), continue to use the original AppleID.
Now you must setup new iTunes databases on the computer for each seperate user. The only way to do this is to have each user have a seperate account on the computer (again, mac or PC, doesn't matter).
In each user's iTunes app on the computer, input the iTunes store credentials that match his/her mobile device that you setup in step 2 above.
On the computer, move all of the music that each person cares about into his/her separate iTunes database (ie, import the music into iTunes by whatever method you choose). The exact method for this is dependent upon whether its windows or mac, but basically, find the actual music files on the hard drive, and then import each of them into iTunes for each user. You want each user to setup their "new" music database on the computer. This is what the mobile device will synch against.
Once complete, synch each mobile device with each user's respective iTunes app. You MUST use separate iTunes databases at this point.
If all of the music was purchased post-DRM (or is DRM-free for whatever reason), then this method will result in each user having all of the music that he/she wishes. However, if some of the music has DRM, then your success here will be a crapshoot.
Photostreams should all continue to be shared and collective since they are attached to the common iCloud account, not iTunes.
Separate iTunes Music/App Account, Separate iCloud
This is the ultimate in "every man for himself". The advantage is the each person has their own free iCloud features (including the all-important backup) and each has their own iTunes account.
The disadvantage is the same as "Common iCloud, Separate iTunes" approach: individuals may lose access to already purchased music and apps. The photostreams will also be broken apart, although you can setup shared photostreams for the future.
To setup this up:
Create new iCloud/AppleID accounts for each person (except for the original user).
In each person's mobile device, use their new AppleID for both iCloud and iTunes Music and App stores. One person keeps the original AppleID and continues to use it.
Follow the steps above for creating new music databases in each user's account on the computer.
Synch each user's mobile device with their respective iTunes database.
OK, that's what i have for you at this point. I'm happy to answer further questions on this and help you figure out how to do what you want to do.
Thanks

Can I use my APT as storage for my music and movies?

I m Using MacBook Air and APT 160
I have three questions:
1- Can I use my APT as storage for my music and movies I need the space in my MacBook Air? If yes please tell me how?
2-What is the best way to pair my APT with my MacBook Air through WiFi “g” or “n” or what is the latest, which will save me time?
3-What is the best external drive that might fit my need?
Thanks

No, it is not a storage solution as if you need to get the things off it you can't. If you deete things from iTunes they'll delete at the next sync. Provided you have backup copie on an external drive or CD/DVD, you could delete the actual file from the Finder leaving the database entry in iTunes - in this way you free space on the laptop but files stay on AppleTV.
An alternative would be to change itunes Preferences (Advanced tab) not to import into the library, then for things you don't want on the Macbook Air, have them on external drive, drag and drop to itunes, sync, then disconnect drive for portable use. Again when the files aren't available they won't be deleted, unless you delete the itunes database reference.
2-What is the best way to pair my APT with my MacBook Air through WiFi “g” or “n” or what is the latest, which will save me time?
n is faster.
3-What is the best external drive that might fit my need?
Your options are basically small portable drives most of which are USB powered (though may require powered hubs if you have a hub) or larger desktop externals requiring power adapter and more space.
For value the desktop externals give more capacity per pound/dollar, and will also have bigger capacity maximums at a given time (bigger and bigger capacity discs being developed all the time).
Try and work out the capacity/pro
ice point and if a portable might be useful, then you have a variety of option.
Peronally I like Western Digital, Seagate and Freecom models, but they're all fairly good these days, and even popular brands can fail. I avoid Maxtor and IBM/Hitachi having had failures in the past, but all drives eventually fail.

. I will not be able to tell you if the Digital Music is available for repair or not. I am sorry but this is not something I have control over. Parts and support policies differs country to country, in your case you will need to work things out with the distributor.

My pc crashed and I lost all my pictures and music that was stored on the pc. Now i have a new pc and when i connect to itunes using my password all my music and photos are not available. they appear to be lost.

my pc crashed and i lost all my pictures and music that was stored on the pc. now i have a new pc and when i log into itunes all my music and photos are not available. I guess i dont understand the pupose of itunes and its worth. I thought it backed up all my photos and music, but apparently not. So what do I use so that when i lose data on my pc i can retrieve it again at a later date or after a crash?/

Your content will only be where you put it. It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
You can transfer itunes purchases from your iphone: File>Device>Transfer purchases.
You can import your pics taken with the iphone as you would with any digital camera.
You can e-mail the other pics to yourself, they will never be of the original quality.
You can out a unique contact and calendar entry on the computer. You should get the option to merge the data when you sync.

How to load music and apps from previous library into new library?

I recently downloaded a virus into my computer. I took it in and had it taken care of. I lost my iTunes library when they flushed out my hard drive. Is there anyway to get the music and apps I had in my old library, and add them to my new one? I appreciate any suggestions. Thank you!

I hope you had a backup! If you don't, the music and apps files are gone, along with digital photos, that copy of your resume, and any other important files that were on that hard drive that got erased.
The apps, you can download again for free since the software license allows that. The music, royalties are paid for each download so you only get one download, and are expected to make backups.
Do you at least have your songs on an ipod? You can use the transfer purchases feature after you have installed itunes again and authroized it in the itunes store.

Trouble with loading videos - Manually manage music and videos not supported now with iOS5 and a 1st gen iPad?

Since updating my iPad 1st gen to iOS5.0.1 videos don't get loaded properly into the Videos app.
On the Summary page in iTunes of my docked iPad, I have always checked the box for "Manually manage music and videos".
I have my reasons for doing it this way, but that's for another thread perhaps.
The problem is that when I load a video to my iPad this way - by simply just dragging it from the desktop and onto the iPad, under Devices in iTunes - it copies/updates, and shows up on the iPad like it always has before iOS5. But now, with iOS5, when I undock, it can't be found anywhere within the Videos app on the iPad. The only way I can find it is to do a Search, which seems to find it, but when I click it, a different video plays - the first video in the Movies list in the Video app. Dock the iPad again, yes the video is there, according to iTunes, but no way to play it once iPad is undocked.
My suspicion is that with iOS5 you are no longer able to use the "Manually manage music and videos (Mmm&v)" that you will be forced to run everything through iTunes - and probably iCloud. I've unchecked the Mmm&v box, and get prompted with "Are you sure? - All existing content on the iPad will be replaced with content from your iTunes library". READ - "Rebuild your entire video and music collection, and this time run it all through iTunes. Welcome to iOS5. Have a nice day or two wasting your time rebuilding your entire video and music collection. Don't fight it. Use iTunes for everything! Until we finally make iTunes a decent piece of digital media management software, then you'll have to do it all again."
Okay, rant over - Anyone out there with running iOS5 on a 1st gen iPad with the Mmm&v option checked and able to load a video manually (not through iTunes)? Any other thoughts?
Thanks

Yea, i managed to fix my issue in a wild fashion way But I DONT suggest it to anyone.
I like to hear why it happened after upgrading iTunes and if there is any peaceful solution.
Bythe way, here is how i fixed it :
1-i checked "manually manage music and videos" checkbox and clicked on "Sync" button
2-It showed a threating message that it will erase my music and videos ,......
3-I clicked on OK button and let iTunes do any thing she said , but the second it started to delete my treasures from my iphone, i disconnected my phone by pulling USB cable.
Now i have my musics and videos untouched and got that Option enabled again and i can manage my Music/Videos and Books manually.

How to back up music and video from iphone to laptop.

I have a problem about my boss's iphone.
His iphone is 3G apple.he want to move music and video from his iphone to his laptop.His laptop use Window xp professional Sp 2 and has itue 8.He want to back up
music and video in his laptop because the musics and videos already had in his iphone is from his friend pc.pls some instruction to me.
Any advise would be appreciated.

Transfering music to your pc is only possible if you bought the music via iTunes. Then you can tranfer your purchases back to your computer.
Or you have to look for 3rd party software to transfer music you didn't buy in itunes to your pc. Search in google for "iphone music backup" or see this link:

I cannot hear the vocals on downloaded movies on Apple TV. Ithe background music and sound effects only. What can I do to fix this please?

I cannot hear the vocals on downloaded movies on Apple TV.
I can hear the background music and sound effects only.
What can I do to fix this please?

Most movies have Dolby surround sound. Seems like you don't have all sound channels coming out of your speakers.
Is the AppleTV connected to a receiver or to a TV?
If you have a receiver that supports dolby surround you should configure the sound settings of the Apple TV and receiver accordingly.
If it's connected to a TV the audio setting "Dolby Digital" in the Apple TV should be set to off.

TS3297 Problem with locating a digital music booklet in iTunes library

Good morning to all. I have purchased and downloaded a music album yesterday from Tunes which was accompanied by a digital music booklet featuring information on the singer and the composers but I don't seem able to locate it anywhere in my iTunes library. When I choose the album to listen to, I only get the graphic cover of the artist but not the entire digital booklet. Any idea, of where this could be traced or whether I could download it again using my previous purchase information?
Many thanks in advance,
Vassilis Gaitanos

am told that my library of 250GB or something won't fit on iPod. Of course I am not trying to put all of that on iPod -- in fact, I don't think my library is event that big, even with movies
If it's not 250GB, then why do you say it's 250GB?
Only music is down converted. Movies and TV show won't be.
Also, iTunes does not know how large the converted files may have to remove some songs before it sync and you may be able to add more after it syncs.
Easiest way to do it is create a playlist (or a few) and sync those.
After it is finished syncing, you can likely add more music the playlists and they will get converted and added to the iPod.

How to make Microphone Echo with USB SB Digital Music

Dear,
I just purchased USB Soundblaster Digital Music SX for my notebook.
I personally purchased this one for my recording music and karaoke.
I check on the "Creative Audio Center" that it doesnt have a profile / EQ for Microphone Echo-ing.....
Is there anyone out there has or try to make the microphone does echo?
I am using Windows Vista Home Premium?
Thanks
Message Edited by sknet on 04-7-2008 :53 AM

I wanna know about that too, but i have a X-fi Platinum and Vista Ultimate. If anyone could tell how to add echo to the mic I'd appreciate!
Regards,
Notlim?

I downloaded a CD with a digital booklet and the booklet won't open.

All of the songs will play, but when I try to open the digital booklet, it says "The file could not be opened. It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize." Any ideas on how I can view this? I paid for it so I'd like to be able to use it.

Hey there Emily,
It sounds like you downloaded the digital booklet and it will not open. I would suggest you delete the file from your iTunes library, and then re download it from the iTunes store with this article:
iTunes 11 for Mac: Download previous purchases from the iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12283
Click iTunes Store near the top of the iTunes window.
Click the Purchased link at the right of the iTunes Store homepage (below Quick Links).
In the page that appears, select a category.iTunes shows you which of your purchases are available for download. You can view all of your past purchases, or just the ones not currently in your iTunes library. Items already in your library aren’t available for download.If you select Music, you can view your purchases by song, artist, or album. If you’re viewing by album, click an album to see which songs on it are available for downloading.To search for an item, type its name or a keyword in the search field, and then press the Return key to view your search results.
To download an item, click its Download button .
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

HT1539 Avengers says it includes digital music album. How do I get that?

I bought the Avengers and is says it has a digital copy of the movie and a digital music album. When I installed it it downloaded the movie into itunes but I don't see the music album.

You need to go to the website on the front of the insert (AvengersAssembleOffer.com). You input the same code that you used for the movie there and this will open a link to download the music. It will download into a zip file and you can then add it to your iTunes library using "Add to Library" under the file menu. Much more cumbersome than with the movie, but that is how it is done.
