Extracting WAV files from CD's to hard disk

Hi, Can iTunes v6.0.4 be used to copy the songs from a CD to the hard drive? I have many store bought CD's that I would like to copy to my hard drive in WAV format. I don't see any way for iTunes to do this.
Is it possible?
If not, are there any command line applications that ship standard with MacOS X that can accomplish this?
If not command line, then any graphical applicat will do. I just needto get the files to the disk in WAV format.
Thanks, Jm

Yes, you can use iTunes for this. Just go to iTunes > Preferences > Advanced > Importing and set your encoding preference to WAV.

Hi BobRz
Thanks for you suggestion but it didn't work - are there other ways for solving this problem? Or is it because my files that I want to copy and paste onto my hard disk etc are too big? (However there is space on my hard disk and it works on a PC)

wrong forum, but also need more information. Probably need to reformat (erase) the drive, tell people what disk drive it is, type of interface you are using, the model MBP you own.

Recovering lost GarageBand files from failed external backup hard disk

For years, I've used SuperDuper's "Back-up - All files" function to regularly backup my computer's hard disk to an external firewire hard disk. On the day I initialized my computer's hard disk to install Leopard, wouldn't you just know, my external hard disk failed. I immediately stopped using it. I've used Data Rescue II on this external hard disk but can't find my GarageBand files. These were in a hard disk subfolder, not in the GarageBand folder or in the User > Music folder. I'm trying to find eight "projects" (some are GarageBand 2 files, others are GarageBand 2008 files), each of which including a voice recording (found a few of those, .aiff files) and software instrument tracks (some imports from Band-in-a-Box, which also can't be found -- but that's for a different forum). First off, what am I looking for, what would those files look like? Data Rescue II's Fast Scan doesn't see any .band file. Searching by name, using a part of the song's name, doesn't bring up anything. This doesn't seem entirely trustworthy as lyrics files using the same name (.doc files) were later found. I've only found two threads related to this on the Web, and they seem to indicate that DRII would be unable to rescue "packaged" files, which my guru husband says is nonsense. So I'm back to the original question: what is it I should be looking for on the external hard disk? Any suggestion gratefully received.

This is for people who would come to this thread searching an answer for the same kind of problem. I had much better success with FileSalvage. I was able to find the majority of my GarageBand files, with MIDI tracks. Audio tracks were not always included but could be found among .aif files. I have not yet searched for the Band-in-a-Box files.

I have to extract all files from a hard drive of a macbook pro that is no longer working. All I have to access the hard drive is a PC, is this possible, and if so how?

You could try Paragon HFS+ for Windows. That would allow you to read and write files from a Mac-formatted drive.

Broadcast Wav files from PT to Logic not moving to original record position

Okay, my system needs upgrading but I'm stable (at least I think I am til now!) I have a TV network sending me broadcast wav files from PT. They shoot their video on a 24 hour clock. I'm to be editing and mixing (in Logic) their audio tracks from PT and send them back as broadcast wav files for them to sync back to their video. After years and years of recording and producing music, this TV world is a first for me. 2 issues at hand that are causing trouble.
NUMBER 1: The wav files will not snap to original record position. I keep getting an error message about "out of range" and of all craziness with a negative SMPTE number. ??? The prompt suggests an offset error. But there isn't I can find. Start time is set to 0:0:0.0.0 here and at the TV studio. They film at 29.97d. That matches as well. Sample Rate is correct at 48k 24bit. I've uncovered every thing I can think of. I did have to set the tempo down to 5 BPM in order to see a full 24 hours in SMPTE.
NUMBER 2: I can't figure out how to see the timestamp start time of the audio files in the audio window. I have every option turned on in the VIEW option, I can see length, but I see nothing about start time of original record time. Am I missing something simple here? Seems like a very standard option that should be easily accessible. It would allow me to prepare the location on the time line.
Overall, I'm hoping I can do all the above with my current rig but realize that the clock is ticking toward a whole new system with Logic 9.
Help please. Don't want to lose this client.

Sure do appreciate everyone's willingness to help. Setting SMPTE start to 24:00:00.0.0 didn't work either. I confirmed with the studio manager at the TV station also that they run a 24hour clock with 0 being midnight.
I'm really hoping that the error is on their end.
*It would help me if anyone knew how to VIEW the Timestamp info attached to the wav files. That would at least give me an approximate idea of where they should be.*
I'm supposed to be editing and mixing the voice dialog from numerous different scene takes that were shot throughout a day of filming. It's critical that I can see all these different takes that were captured over hours of open recording. Some of the files are almost 4 hours long. It's a big project and I'm sure hoping I can stay inside Logic to get it all done with excellence.

Extracting .xls file from an FTP site

Hi there,
I'm trying to run a DI solution that is extracting a file from a FTP site. DI can see the file but it gives me an error saying that:
FTP could not transfer file <FTP site/myfile.xls> from host <IP Address>: <>. Please ensure that the FTP relative path for the SAP R/3 working directory is set correctly such that the data file is accessible to the FTP
Can someone please help with this.
Thank you.

Hi,
thats SP1 for DS XI 3.2
I think there is no delta from XI 3.2 to XO 3.2 SP1 what means you have to do a fresh install and upgrade repo.
But you better doublecheck before but i think there is no delta.

I want to take files from my PC (using a Seagate external hard drive) then plug this Seagate External hard drive into my Mac Book Pro and move the files from the Seagate External Hard drive onto my Time Capsule. I do not want to put these files on my Mac

I want to take files from my PC (using a Seagate external hard drive) then plug this Seagate External hard drive into my Mac Book Pro and move the files from the Seagate External Hard drive onto my Time Capsule. I do not want to put these files on my Mac. How do I do this? Where do I put these files on my Time Capsule? Will it affect the functioning of my Time Capsule?

Mixing files with data is not always great idea.
See info here.
Q3 http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
Why not just connect the PC directly to the TC by ethernet and copy the files over?
It is hugely faster and much less mucking around.
In windows load the airport utility for windows.. if you have not already as this will help you access the drive.
There is more info here.

How do I move a file from Icloud to my hard drive?

From the appropriate application (eg, Pages, TextEdit, etc) find your file(s) in iCloud (use File - Open), then highlight (you can multiple-select) the files you want to move, and drag them to your desktop or another Finder location.

How do I access my encrypted User Account files from my Back Up hard drive? Time Machine was used to create the back up disk; File Vault was used to encrypt the files.

How do I access my encrypted User Account files from my Back Up hard drive? Time Machine was used to create the back up disk; File Vault was used to encrypt the files.

Thanks. I will try going through TM. Since my Simpletech is on the way out, I'll be plugging in a new external hard drive (other than the back-up drive) and trying to restore the library to the new drive. Any advice or warning if this is NOT the right thing to do?
Meanwhile, that is a great tip to do an alternate back-up using a different means. It's been tough to figure out how to "preserve access" to digital images and files for posterity, knowing the hardware will always fail/obsolesce sooner or later, and that "clouds" are only as good as their consistent and reliable accessibility. Upping the odds with redundancy will help dull the edge of my "access anxiety", though logically, it can never relieve it. Will look into

Yes, I believe so. Please check out the NetPortal app. I don't have an iPad, but I use it on my iPod Touch to access files on my Time Capsule. It is available from the iTunes App Store.

Batch file extracting all files from nested archives

I have managed to leverage a powerful
forfiles command line utility with the mighty
7z compression program.
Below is a simple batch file extracting all files from nested archives hidden at any depth inside other archives and/or folders. After the extraction each archive file turns into a folder having the archive file name. If, for example, there was an "outer.rar"
archive file containing nothing but an "inner.zip" archive with only "afile.txt" inside, "outer.rar" becomes "...\outer.rar\inner.zip\afile.txt" file system path.
@echo off
rem extract_nested_archives.bat
move %1 "%TMP%"\%2
md %2
7z x -o%1 -y %TMP%\%2
del "%TMP%"\%2
for %%a in (zip rar jar z bz2 gz gzip tgz tar lha iso wim cab rpm deb) do forfiles /P %1 /S /M *.%%a /C "cmd /c if @isdir==FALSE extract_nested_archives.bat @path @file"
ARCHIVES ARE DELETED DURING THE EXTRACTION! Make a copy before running the script!
"7z.exe" and "extract_nested_archives.bat" should be in folders available via the %PATH% environment variable.
The first parameter of extract_nested_archives.bat is the full path name of the archive or folder that should be fully expanded; the second parameter is just the archive or folder name without the path. So you should run "c:\temp\extract_nested_archives.bat
c:\temp\outer.rar outer.rar" from the command line to completely expand "outer.rar". "c:\temp" must be the current folder.
Best regards, 0x000000AF

Incredibly useful! Thank you so much. I did make a couple of small changes to make the script a little easier to use from the end-user perspective.
First - I don't like making the user input the redundant second parameter, so I added this snippet which extracts it from the first parameter. The first line of the snippet enables delayed expansion so that special characters in our file name don't
break anything. The second line pulls the parameter into a variable, and the 3rd line uses delayed expansion on that new variable. Before implementing delayed expansion I had problems with file paths which included parentheses.
SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
Set SOURCE=%1
For %%Z in (!source!) do (
set FILENAME=%%~nxZ
set FILENAME=%FILENAME:"=%
Anyway once that was done, I just used %FILENAME% everywhere in the script instead of
%2 (making sure to correct quotes as needed)
This way, to run my script all you need to run is:
C:\temp\extract_nested_archives.bat C:\temp\Archive.zip
Second - I didn't want to modify the Windows environment variable. So I replaced
7z with "%PROGRAMFILES%\7-zip\7z.exe"
I also replaced extract_nested_archives.bat with "%~f0" (which represents the full path+filename of the current script).
Here is my full script now. Tested on Windows 8 with the 64-bit version of 7-zip installed:
@echo off
Setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
Set source=%1
For %%Z in (!source!) do (
set FILENAME=%%~nxZ
set FILENAME=%FILENAME:"=%
move /Y %1 "%TMP%\%FILENAME%"
md "%FILENAME%"
"%PROGRAMFILES%\7-zip\7z.exe" x -o%1 -y "%TMP%\%FILENAME%"
DEL "%TMP%\%FILENAME%"
for %%a in (zip rar jar z bz2 gz gzip tgz tar lha iso wim cab rpm deb) do (
forfiles /P %1 /S /M *.%%a /C "cmd /c if @isdir==FALSE "%~f0" @path @file"
