Does Apple plan to make iTunes / iPad, iPhone compatible with 24 bit FLAC files?

Does Apple plan to make iTunes / iPad, iPhone compatible with 24 bit FLAC files?

I wouldn't count on FLAC being supported. 24 bit Apple Lossless (ALAC) is our best bet. I have been patiently waiting for 24/96 or greater support on ipods and especially AppleTV... Desktop iTunes is compatible with hi res files, but not FLAC, you have to convert them to Apple Lossless with Max (or some other converter)... I have several FLAC files from HDTracks, and converted them fairly quickly and easily with Max, so I could add them into iTunes. They play fine on my computer (with an external DAC), and stream fine to AppleTV, but ATV downsamples to 16/44 according to my Receiver. I wish it wouldn't do that....

    We are itunes users like you.  We would have no idea what Apple is planning, unless they announce it, which they very rarely do.

  • Does Apple plan to make an iPod Touch 5th Generation in the future?

    I have not seen news that Apple plans to make a fifth generation iPod Touch. I am wondering if anyone has news that can help? I heard that Siri will not be included. Is it true? Will they have 3G or 4G like the iPad? Thanks a lot!

    That's because Apple has not made any announcement about any such product.
    It is against the rules of this forum to speculate about future products.

  • Does apple plan to open iTunes up in morocco ???

    Is apple going to make iTunes available in Morocco ???

    I doubt you will get an answer here, you're not addressing Apple here.
    My best guess is to wait for news about it.
    Good luck anyways

  • Why does Apple Bluetooth not work? iPad iPhone and iMac

    Quick post, Bluetooth won't work on my new ipad air, trying to connect to sound bar, works on all other non apple devices!?
    Have iMac, ipad 2, ipad air and iPhone, non of the apple devices have ever worked properly when trying to use Bluetooth?
    Can someone help, already tried apples troubleshooting, no joy!
    Apple seriously get on this, your products are way too expensive for basic features not to be working!?

    There are various issues, both accessing this forum using iDevices as well as even on the PC/Mac side. The issues seems to be the fault of the forum software itself (Jive software) so there's not much that can be done about it other than wait for fixes (which we've been doing for quite awhile now).

  • How do I make itunes purchased music compatible with Windows Movie Maker?

    Windows Movie Maker will not accept the itunes format and I cannot find a way to convert the files. I need to convert the format to any of the following accepted formats: .aif, .aifc, .aiff .asf, .au, .mp2, .mp3, .mpa, .snd, .wav, and .wma
    Please Help!

    If your iTunes Music Store purchases are 128kpbs protected (with digital rights management) AAC files, they cannot be directly converted to other formats. If the files are 256kbps unprotected iTunes Plus AAC files, you can convert them as desired for your personal use.

  • HT1338 Why can't I update my iPad iso 4.2 version? I go to setting and it does not have it like it should. Why does apple have to make things so freaking hard! Help!

    Why can't I update my iPad iso 4.2 version? I go to setting and it does not have it like it should. Why does apple have to make things so freaking hard! Help!

    If you have an original iPad 1, the latest version of iOS it can run is iOS 5. So you should be able to update no problem.
    Update iTunes to the latest version (11.0.2). Then simply plug your iPad into the computer and open iTunes. Click the iPad either in the sidebar or the top navigation bar. Then attempt to update the software. If it doesn't work, please post the exact error message.
    Note that it would be wise to first ensure you back up the iPad.

  • Does Apple plan to add a delete key to iPad in the future?

    Does Apple plan to add a delete key to iPad in the future?

    There already is a back-delete key - if you mean forward delete key then nobody on here will know until if/when Apple announce something. If it's something that you'd like then you could try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

  • Does Apple have a Data Execution Prevention (DEP) compatible version of iTunes for Vista?

    I have followed instructions found on the Apple Support boards for the past 3 days regarding  the fact that DEP will not allow the iTunes updates to operate on Windows Vista.  I wish I had a dollar for every time I have uninstalled adn reinstalled iTunes, only to get the same results.  It instally correctly, but will not open.  It gets shut down by DEP every time.  YOU CAN'T TURN OFF DEP FOR iTUNES IN VISTA!!!  I don't care what the instructions from Apple and Microsoft say, it can't be done. 
    So, does anybody know if Apple has a version of the iTunes that is compatible with DEP?  Or, are that hopefully at least working on one?  My iPhone and iPod are useless. 

    Have you downloaded and installed Windows Vista Service Pack 1 yet?
    This may assist you with that you are running into. If you have already done this let me know. Could still potentially be something going on with the Apple Software.
    If this is the case the link below describes how to fully clean out Apple Software. Possible file that belongs to Apple may of become corrupted and thus causing iTunes not to launch Properly.
    But before you check the article out. Have you right clicked on the iTunes Application and chose Run as Administrator?
    You can also right click on the iTunes App, Select Properties, and select Compatibility Mode - And make sure that is not turned on and set for something else. As this could potentially be running in a different mode.

  • Does apple needs to make a external hard drive?

    me personally. i think if apple would make a external hard drive or make the ipad/iphone/ipod compatible with a third party hard drive i wouldnt have a need for a computer the apple system would be a all in one. Im going to get a ipad 2 but was interested to see if any one else was interested in this. thank you

    I don't quite understand the original post. The iPad already has internal storage, using flash memory. What do you believe you need the hard drive for? As the other poster pointed out, the hard drive is not what you initialize the iPad with - you still need an actual computer. Some kind of external drive wouldn't help you.

  • My husband's only way to communicate is with ipad.  He now has double-vision.  The icons are too small.  Is Apple planning on accommodating us boomers and handicapped with a larger icons? Zooming doesn't help becuase of limited manual dexterity.  Thanks

    My husband's only way to communicate is with ipad.  He now has double-vision.  The icons are too small.  Is Apple planning on accommodating us boomers and handicapped with a larger icons? Zooming doesn't help because it's not a permanent setting and he can't change it too meet his needs because of limited manual dexterity.  I understand and appreciate the desire for consistency, couldn't they make a two or three size option setting. Small, Medium, Large and maybe Xlarge?

    Thanks.  Tried it.  The size of icons is great but now the part of the screen is missing.  For example, he likes going into his  music app, yes, it was easier for him to see and select, but once in the app he couldn't see the sides, so he couldn't select song without a double-tap to get it out of zoom.  I will see if I can arrange his pages so that all icons show.  This is a sort of work around.  Larger icons would be a better solution.  My husbands illness makes him akin to a person with ALS, so his ipad is his prized possession.
