Does anyone know how to transfer music from Music player onto Macs i-tunes?

Am new to Macs. Trying to transfer music from media player to my mac using a pen-drive. however it will not play in itunes only in VLC. How am i able to get it playing in itunes? Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.
MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

CharlieNicole,
iTunes only plays the video file formats supported by Quicktime. If you are working with files from Windows Media Player or Realplayer, you will need to use one of the players recomended for those media formats for the Mac. I would recomend checking the websites for the maker of those software for their recomendations.
For a list of formats that iTunes will play this article has information:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302758
EDIT: iTunes for Windows can convert WMA files that are not encrypted with DRM (Digital Rights Management) software. You might want to consider adding them to iTunes on a Windows-based PC, and the copying the resulting files over.

    Yes. Are you familiar with Dropbox? Dropbox is an excessively easy way for you to transfer files between devices (PC/Mac/Galaxy Tab/iPhone/iPad/etc.). You can upload your files to Dropbox on one device and receive it on the other.

  • Does anyone know how to transfer my photos fron iphone to mac

    i have 178 photos n my iphone4 but when i connect up to itunes i cant find the anywhere.  I can click on my phone and select photos but there is only 6 photos.  Does anyone know how to transfer my photos fron iphone to mac

    Use iPhoto. It should show your phone in the left hand column kinda like itunes. It should also give you the option to import your photos. Then it will ask you if you want to delete them from your phone or keep them on it. Whenever I plug my iphone4 into my iMac it automatically launches iPhoto. Sometimes it will not however and I just eject it and plug it in again and then it usually shows up in iPhoto.

  • Does anyone know how to upload footage from an SDHC to mac not using FCP or imovie?

    Does anyone know how to upload footage from an SDHC card on a mac that doesn't involve using Final Cut Pro or iMovie? Those don't have many options for import/encoding settings. They also upload the clips into an enormous file size. I always have to re-export them in MPEG streamclip or Compressor to lower the file size and it's getting annoying. HELP!

    Won't help the size methinks, but does Image Capture work?

  • Does anyone know how to transfer funds from one account to another?

    I Accidentally redeemed my itunes gift card to the wrong account. Does anyone know how I could transfer the funds?

    Gabby,
    It is not possible to transfer credit from one account to another.
    However, if you redeem a gift card and have not yet spent any of it, you can request to have the amount put back onto the card.  Contact iTunes Customer Service here:

  • Does anyone know how to transfer songs from my IPOD to my Computer?

    As title, does anyone know if I can transfer all my songs from my Ipod, to my computer. Because the thing is I'm getting an iTouch but I don't have all my songs on my PC, it's all on my ipod.
    So i want to move all my songs from my ipod to my PC, is it even possible?

    There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

    SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content only from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

  • Does anyone know how to transfer music from ipod to a new computer?

    Is it possible as well?

    If you have downloaded the music from iTunes store from iPod through WiFi, then you can transfer the purchases easily, when you connect the iPod to iTunes, it will ask you whether to transfer the purchases or not.
    If you haven't purchased songs from iPod, then unfortunately you can't transfer any songs through iTunes.
    You can restore purchases from iTunes :
    Once you are really sure that those iTunes songs are gone, here’s what to do:
    1. Open the iTunes Store on your device.
    2. Make sure you are signed in with the same account used for the original purchase.
    3. Tap Purchased from the bottom navigation bar.
    4. From the Purchased tab, tap the artist name for the content you intend to download again.
    5. Once you’ve located the music you are looking for, tap the download button.
    (If you want to download all songs from an album that you’ve purchased, click on the button to swith to the “Album” view.)
    If you have your own set of songs, then you can copy those songs from iPod by using this FREE software : http://download.cnet.com/SharePod/3000-2141_4-10794489.html?tag=mncol;2
    I hope this solves your problem

  • HT1296 Does anyone know how to transfer songs from your ipod touch to a new computer?

    I've already transferred the purchased songs to the new itunes library. I'm just having trouble getting the rest of the songs, that are from my old itunes library, onto my new computer. I don't know if this matters or not, but I have a 2nd generation ipod, and I'm using a PC.

  • Does anyone know how to transfer playlist from one machien to another

    hi i cant seem to transfer playlists to a new pc ,also home sharing will not show on dropdown

    Because that is not the way it is designed to work.
    Why do you refuse to do something as simply as copying the media from the old computer to the new computer to resolve the problem?
