Files Say They're MP3s But Are Burning As AIFFs

this is very weird. i converted some files from AIFF to MP3s in iTunes. i even checked "Get Info" for these converted files, and it says they are MPEG files.
however, i created a playlist, again checked "Get Info" to confirm they are mp3s, which they are.
but when i burnt them to a CD, they become AIFF files.
why on earth is this happening? i've never had this problem before. i want to be able to play them in a CD player.

As noted iTunes will burn the disc format selected in your iTunes burning prefs. If you select AIFF then it will burn the mp3 or any other file as an AIFF which is playable on any regular CD player.

Took delivery of imac yesterday with pre-installed Pages, Numbers and Keynote. App store says they need updating but won't let me because I've never owned the major version of the software. I have paid like anyone else, so why can't I update?

Checkboxes are not rendering; they still function, but are completely invisible.

Ever since installing Firefox 4 on my PC, checkboxes have not been rendering. They will occasionally be visible when the browser is first launched, but disappear on mouse-over. They still function, but are completely invisible.

This is looking like an OAS ADF Faces library issue. I'm in the process of updating those now.

Since I've updated my iPad to iOS 6 it's running a lot slower especially when I scroll up and down and takes ages to load up on the App Store I know they got glitches but are they gonna be sorting this out as well ?

Since I've updated my iPad to iOS 6 it's running a lot slower especially when I scroll up and down and takes ages to load up on the App Store I know they got glitches but are they gonna be sorting this out as well ?

Hi!
I am also having issues with the device since updating to IOs 6. The time between clicking an icon, i.e. a picture, and the load of that picture takes longer enough to notice it. It did not happen before the update.
I am also having problems with some applications, specially the Facebook application. When I click on my picture in the right bar of the app, it promps a window that ask me for share my location, etc.. and get freeze there.
Regarding reseting the device, already done. It did not helped.
Also, SIRI is very nice, but sometimes it stop working and I have to re-start the device in order to being able to use SIRI again. When it happens, it looks like SIRI is sending the information, but does not do anything after.
It is understandable that they require some time to get the new IOs version working properly, but I dont like to be a Beta tester.

Trying to import as MP3 but showing up as AIFF

Greetings. I am trying to import audio files as MP3s, but they are showing up as AIFF. I selected "MP3 Encoder" on the "Advanced" screen from the iTunes Preferences menu, but they are still showing up as AIFF. What am I doing wrong????
Thanks in advance for a helpful answer!
Sincerely,

Are you importing from Audio CD?
That should work.
Can you give more details?

Why is Keynote, Pages, Numbers, and iPhoto all under the free category in the app store but say they cost money? Are they really free? Should I download them?

HELP! I need these softwares for educational purposes ASAP! I'm not sure whether or not I should purchase any of them, due to the fact they are under the free category, yet if I click each app they all say to "buy now" for a certain price. This is questionable to me, and I am unsure what the real cost of them are before I attempt to make any purchases or not. If anyone could let me know soon please, that'd be great. Or if there are any other trust worthy sites for a free download that would be great too if you could just list the process THANK YOU! (:

All Apple computer come with the iLife suite of App totally free and they are installed on your Mac by the factory when it was built and shipped.
Those iLife apps are iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand on Mac computers that came with any of the Download Only version of OS X, Lion Mt Lion and Mavericks and also include iDVD and iWeb on older Mac computers that came with OS X Snow Leopard or previous version of OS X.
If they are not already on your Mac then you can reinstall them from either the Mac App Store, for Mac's that came with Lion, Mt Lion or Mavericks, or from the Original System Reinstall DVD discs on older Mac that came with Snow Leopard or previous version of OS X.
You need to post what model year Mac you are using and whether or not you bought it new from Apple or an Autherised Apple reseller.
As for the iWork set of applications, Pages, Numbers and Keynote, those you need to buy from the Mac App Store unless you purchase your Mac New from Apple or an Authorized Apple reseller on or after October 21 2013.
So what model year Mac do you have and did you buy it new.

HT202879 since updating pages 8 to pages 9 it won't let me open saved files saying they are too old ?

I updated pages 08 to pages 09 but now if i have saved a document and try to open it it tells me the file can't be opened as it is too old. Does anyone know how to fix this ?

You have tried to open a Pages 09 document in Pages 08. You have to be particular about which app you use for which document. Pages 09 will always try to be tha app to open all your Pages documents. The Pages icocn looks the same for both apps.

Files can't be found, but are still taking up space.

I just downloaded several hour-long podcasts from the web in MP3 format. I added them directly to my iPod Touch via iTunes 9.2.1.5 and they showed up in my music folder.
Well, obviously I wanted them to show up as Podcasts, so like I do with my Audiobooks, I tried changing the Media Kind to "Podcast" and they simply disappeared. They are nowhere to be found on my iPod but I can see that the space they inhabit is still being taken up on my iPod.
I found a couple other threads related to this -- one had no replies, and the other said someone was only able to find them via a search on the iPod. What search? I couldn't find any search option on my iPod Touch.
I've also had a number of other problems with files/podcasts randomly disappearing and then iTunes not allowing me to add them again, leading me to believe there is a landfill of files somewhere that I can't access or delete.
Thanks for any help!

Media Encoder CS4 No Error No File (Says It's Created, but It Isn't)

I have tried repeatedly today to encode an QuickTime container to P2 format, and while Adobe Media Encoder CS4 appears to load correctly, do the conversion, and confirm the file creation, I can not find the file that was supposed to be created.
There is no error message. Below is the transcript of the log from one attempt:

9/10/2009 5:39:04 PM : Queue Stopped
Only, no where on my computer is there the file “0001DI_1.MXF”. Not only have I looked in the Desktop folder where it is supposed to be. I have searched both hard drives on my computer for that file. This has happened repeatedly with variations of the output file name in the last hour or so.
I have rebooted the machine. I have run error-checking on the hard drive. Even though only log into my with my own account and no one else uses it, I have even created a text file with the same name, just in case the file that was created was there but hidden. I had no problem creating the text file in the directory where the output from Media Encoder is supposed to be.
My suite was fully patched when this was run (except I did install an upgrade to Adobe Reader after this problem occurred when I checked to make sure my software was current).
I used Media Encoder earlier in the day to create a P2 MXF file from the same source file earlier in the day, and have used it to create other output formats.
I am working on a Windows XP Professional machine.
Any ideas?

Quick postscript that may be relevant...
I converted the same file I’m having trouble with to WMV format. It worked fine, but the output file name I wanted to give it was long (more than 8 letters not counting the extension). The name of the file created by Media Encoder was only the first 8 letters plus the extension.
I had no problem manually renaming the file it’s full name (over 20 letters long). It seems Media Encoder couldn’t do that.
That still begs the question why it didn’t work when I tried to create an MXF file only one letter long. Here is the section of log where I tried to do that. As before, it says the file was created. I couldn’t find it.

All add-ons in Greasemonkey userscripts say they're enabled, but aren't working?

I use Greasemonkey for my Tumblr extentions, such as wrapped tags, tumblr h8, dashboard backgrounds, and tumtaster. Today, I downloaded Stylish, and that made all of my greasemonkey extentions stop working, even though they all say enabled. I have removed stylish, re-downloaded certain things in Greasemonkey, but all of them have stopped working.

Any advice is appreciated, but unfortunately I checked both of those things almost immediately after the problem and it was nothing so simple. It told me that the iPod's capacity was at 40+GB full, which would mean that it had transferred pretty much my whole iTunes library, but I still got nothing on the actual device. I think it's going back to Best Buy later tonight, and Apple and I shall forever part ways, no hard feelings.

My songs say they're transferring but aren't on the iPod.

I just bought my iPod yesterday- it's a 60GB iPod video. I bought a PCMCIA USB2.0 card so I could hook it up to my laptop and got my iTunes library all set to transfer. I plugged the iPod into the card and, after some hiccups, got it to recognize it and didn't even see the "high-speed usb device plugged into non-high-speed slot" message that it gave me when I tried it in the 1.1 slot in the back. So far, so good.
It started synching up with the iTunes library, which is cool cuz that's what I wanted. It ran for about half an hour, loading maybe 2.5 GB of the 45.5 GB total library, before my computer overheated (a common problem with the HP Pavillion ze1250, just a word of warning). Still, it's a start, I figured. I took the iPod out of the handy felt case that I stashed it in because I'm pathologically afraid of a four-hundred dollar toy getting scratched and went to look at my new music library-
and saw that it only had about 750mb of music. Alphabetically speaking, iTunes had told me that I had transferred all the way down to Bob Dylan and my iPod hardly even touched on the Afghan Whigs.
I was confused but it was late and I figured I'd just try it again. I hooked up the iPod to the computer again, rebooted, and took it from where it left off. iTunes told me that the iPod had 2.5GB of songs, but kept readjusting that number- 1.9, then 1.5, then 1.2, then 750mb, at which point it started transferring songs again.
It went on again seemingly without a hitch- an hour or so of transferring and I was back around 4GB. Satisfied, I went to bed.
When I woke up this morning, I checked the iPod all excited and saw that, yet again, it was at 750mb, exactly where it had been after the first failed transferring session.
It still tells me that the songs are being transferred, but I've no idea where they are. I've no idea what it's actually doing or how to fix it. Please help me, Apple-people. I am not one of you, but I would like to learn.

I got a new sim and to activate it I need to reactivate my phone. When inputting my Apple ID and password, it's saying they're incorrect and are looking for the original details the phone was set up on which I don't have.

Got a new sim for my new contract, so need to reactivate my phone. To reactivate I've to put in my Apple ID which I have but it's saying it's not accepting it and is asking for old ID which phone was set up on which I do not have. I can't do anything with my phone as it's locked on the enter iD screen! I have already reset and verified my password but still not accepting it! Help

If the ID is yours but you don't know the password, you'll have to reset it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5787). If the ID belongs to a previous ownder of the phone, you'll have to either get the ID and password from them, or have them erase the phone and remove it from their account as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515.
