Help with importing tones to iTunes

I have several .wav files in my finder that I would love to add to iTunes so I can use them as tones for text or emails.  Is there a way to do this?  I'm using a Mac mini with OS X 10.8.2  Thanks for any help you can provide.

Are you trying to update with a different computer or iTunes account than what you previously synced to?
You'll get that warning if you're trying to sync, or restore using a different computer than the one the phone was last originally activated with or last synced to. This will REPLACE whatever is on your phone with what is in the iTunes library on that computer. To avoid losing your apps/media with a new computer:
1. Authorize the computer in iTunes to your account.
2. Disable automatic synching on connection: (iTunes) Preferences > Devices > Prevent... from syncing automatically.
3. Connect your phone.
4. Right-click the device tab (left side of iTunes screen) and select "Transfer Purchases" to transfer from your phone to the iTunes library. Note that this transfers only media PURCHASED from iTunes, not anything you added from other sources.

  • Help with importing mp3s into iTunes

    Hi, I'm running the newest version of iTunes and having problems loading mp3s into the library in correct order. I'm not sure how the mp3s i want to import are tagged, but when i import them, iTunes arranges them automatically by song name (alphabetically) and loses the track order.
    1) how do i import them keeping the same track order (in future)?
    2) how can i re-order the existing ones i've imported into the library already as efficiently as possible (without going into the 'get info' option and adding track numbers for each of the separate tracks (i have several thousand like this - they are mainly live concerts)?
    Many thanks for any help, its much appreciated!

    You don’t say quite enough to be sure if I am being helpful or how much you know, but …
    Start in the library window with browse on and select an album. (Click on the little eye, upper right of screen if you don’t see the browser).
    You can then use “Get info” to inspect some of your imported tracks for that album. If you click on the info tab, you should see a field for track number. If you have a correct track number in this field, you should be able to sort by track number.
    If you don’t see a Track # column to sort on, you and bring it into view by right clicking on the header row (Name, Artist, Album etc) and then checking Track number.
    You can sort on any column by clicking the header.
    I ripped all my CDs with Free Realplayer and imported the tracks into iTunes when I got an iPod – all the track numbers were already correct.

  • HT1550 I'm having trouble with importing them into iTunes and converting them at the same time. when i hold down option over the files i can't find where its supposed to say create new version. is this if you're in iTunes?

    You can't do it in one step. Add to iTunes first, Once the tracks are in iTunes you may convert to a different format.

  • Can you please help with importing CDs and audio books?

    I tried to search for this topic, but had no luck.
    Have been happy with IPOD until today. On trying to import a new audio book to iTunes and then updating IPOD to install on it, I can see the title in both the iTunes Library and menu of IPOD. However, instead of seeing a normal 57:32 (or similar stop time), I am seeing 789:57:13.152. When I try to play it through iTunes or IPOD, it skips it as if it wasn't there and plays something else. I checked out importing a music CD, and find the same problem.
    Appreciate any advice you can give.

    let's first see if you can get the CDs to import normally if you switch off "error correction" in the iTunes Advanced-Importing preferences subtab.
    but if no joy there, try checking through the other suggestions from the following document:

  • Help with importing PC photo files and then organizing it all in iPhoto

    Hi everyone,
    I'm relatively new to mac but I am just loving my purchase! I need some serious help with getting all of my photos organized though so I can easily find it for editing in iMovie.
    I've accumulated over 10,000 photos stored on my PC which I've since transferred over to my LaCie external drive for my MacBook Pro via a wireless network connecting my PC & Mac. Some of these I've put onto my laptop internal hard drive and those I've imported into the iPhoto library. However, do I need to move the rest of the photos from my LaCie drive into my internal hard drive to import the photos into iPhoto, or can I tell iPhoto to look for the files in the external drive. If so, how do I do that? I know I'll then have to create albums in order to sort them, which I know how to do. Is there any fast way to do it by date? I had it sorted into different file folders by month & year so I could easily find them on my PC and would like to do the same using albums.
    I am quickly running out of hard drive space on my laptop which is why I've put most of my photos on the external drive. Once I organize my existing collection, I would like to be able to import new pictures and have it stored on my external drive, not my internal drive. How do I do that?
    Any other tips on organizing a massive photo library would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Karen

    Karen,
    Is there any fast way to do it by date? I had it sorted into different file folders by month & year so I could easily find them on my PC and would like to do the same using albums.
    This is where you get to enjoy the power of iPhoto's database. You can change the Sort in the View menu. Check out View > Sort Photos > by Date.
    Or, click the little calendar icon near the lower left corner of the iPhoto window. This allows you to filter the library by year, month, week, or date. You can Command-click to add another date to your filter. You can Option-click to choose a recurring date: you get that month or date for all years in your library. [Want to see your kid's birthday for every year? Just Option-Click that date. Cool.]
    The keywords filter is similar. There is a preference setting where you choose to filter based on ALL keywords chosen (where by choosing more keywords you narrow your field) or ANY keyword (where the more keywords you choose, the larger your field will be). Click on a keyword to filter your library by all photos containing that keyword. Use Command-click to add more keywords to the filter. A difference is that Option-click will eliminate photos with that keyword from your filter. [You can find all pictures of your kids with your dog but NOT at Halloween.]
    You can create Smart Albums to combine the use of dates, keywords, ratings, titles, comments and more. The more information you enter into the database, the more powerful the tools become.
    When your task of importing is complete and you are ready to play with iPhoto's features it may help to look at the iPhoto multimedia tutorial. Better organized than trying to read through the Help files, it can help you get acquainted with many of iPhoto's features.
    Have fun.

    Good catch, Pnarbs.
    The version which has the trouble with importing using the AAC encoding is 10.1.0.54, and the version which fixes the issue is 10.1.0.56. If you already have 10.1.0.54 installed, 10.1.0.56 doesn't appear for you in Apple Software Update, so you need to go to the Apple Website to get the 10.1.0.56 installer, as per the following document:

  • Help with importing files

    Hello everyone,
    FYI
    [I'm running RoboHelp 5.0.2 - Flash Help. We have purchased
    the Bronze help package and the support doesn't know why we are
    having problems. We are using Visual Source Safe on a Windows
    server]
    I work for a small company that is planning to "roll-out" our
    new roboHelp site within a few days. We are having trouble with
    importing our .doc, pdf, and xls files. Here's what happens:
    I have a topic and I go to create a text.
    I highlight the text I want linked
    go to "Insert hyperlink"
    choose "Link to file"
    Browse to my file.
    When I click on Okay it ask if I want it brought inot my
    project. I click yes.
    I then notice that RoboHelp puts it in the baggage files (
    well most of the time it does)
    I save, check everything in.
    When I go to v iew it in Primary layout it saids "file not
    found"
    Help I'm going crazy. My boss thinks I don't know what I'm
    doing. :(
    Thanks,
    mj

    Hi MJ,
    Not sure exactly what the issue is with your help project,
    but I have links to pdf and doc files in my project and they work.
    When I click View Primary Layout, it brings up the output files
    that are generated to a different location than where the working
    files are. Is that how your project is set up? Because when I open
    a file via a link within the output, it calls the file from the
    same directory where the output files live (not from a baggage
    file). Is this what you are doing as well? This process has been
    working for me.
    Regards,
    Fred

  • Help with backup issues on ITunes IPhone

  • HT1751 Help with importing itunes playlists from an older OS?

    I tried the steps here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751 for importing my older playlists from time machine, but got this in response: "The file “iTunes Library.itl” cannot be imported because it does not appear to be a valid exported file." 
    Old OS was 10.5.x, now have Mavericks, think that might have something to do with it.
    Please help?
    Thanks..

    My OS is SunOS 5.8 and the OS that the core file was
    created with is SunOS 5.5.1. The program that created
    the core file was compiled with debug flags on my
    machine and then shipped to the client's machine. I
    have all the source code and the .o files, but I can't
    seem to read the core.If I understand correctly, you're compiling on Solaris 8 and
    then running the resulting executable on a Solaris 2.5.1 system.
    This is not supported. Sometimes you get away with it for a while,
    particularly if you're only going one release backwards, but
    I'd be surprised if it would ever work going that far back.
    To the original point, in addition to your own objects, the 2.5.1
    system's shared libraries are also required for complete debugging.
    That's why it's complaining "Object file is not the same one that was
    linked into executable."

  • I have problems with importing music to iTunes, can somebody please help me?

    I have all my music organized on an external hard disc in folders for each artist and album, but I can only import some of the folders. It’s like iTunes isn’t registering specific folders, and just skip these folders while the rest of the folders is added as normal. I have tried to add the missing folders manually but it doesn’t help.  I simply can’t add some music to iTunes, what am I doing wrong? Thanks!

    It's the file attributes. The files will add but when you try to add a folder it doesn't work. You can get a bulk attribute changer progeam like BulkFileChanger and get rid of the Hidden and archive attributes, This fixed my problem.

  • Help with Importing Photo Albums from Iphoto

    I have created a bunch of albums in iphoto and wish to transfer them to my ipod. However, when i go to the photos tab of itunes when my ipod is plugged in and i try to select Sync from Iphoto it says that i have 0 photos in iphoto. i have tried selecting individual folders of photos to import and that works just fine, but i want to be able to select the albums that i already created in iphoto.
    thanks for your help

    Apologies, you're right, it should be albumdata.xml.
    Have a read of this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=778068&tstart=0
    About 2/3'rds of the way down, DaveE has the following post:
    - View your albumdata.xml file in some text editor, like TextEdit.
    - Do a Find (cmd f) for "List of Keywords"
    - The XML under that looks kind of like this:
    <dict>
    <key>1</key>
    <string>Favorite</string>
    <key>6</key>
    <string>Birthday</string>
    <key>3</key>
    </dict>
    You will probably have more keywords, this is just an example. But see the format - everything that has <something> ends with </something>.
    When I had the problem, the example above looked like:
    <dict>
    <key>1</key>
    <string>Favorite <key>6</key>
    <string>Birthday</string>
    <key>3</key>
    </dict>
    Notice the line return and </string> are missing for "Favorite". This happened to one of my keywords, and I don't know what caused it, but I deleted that keyword (and the one after it) from within iPhoto's preferences, and typed them in again.
    The problem went away. Maybe some bogus character got into the keywords to make the XML go bad.
    So try to use the method above to identify which keyword might have a problem, rather than go on a witch hunt and waste a lot of time. Of course, your problem could be different from mine entirely, but my iLife apps had the same problem you described.
    Try it and see if it helps.

  • Help with Imports

    Ok my problem is hard to explain but I'll do my best.
    My iTunes is brand new. Yesterday I downloaded and installed it. As soon as I opened the program it started moving my music from Windows Media Player onto iTunes. This was all well and good but then it started to convert the WME (or WMA, whatever they're called. You get it). Not knowing why it said converting I exited the program. I come to find out that the vast majority of my songs on Media Player needed to be converted to make it to iTunes. Now when I open iTunes I only have a small fraction of my total songs. How do I make iTunes finish importing and converting ALL the songs from Media Player (so far I can do one at a time and I have over 1000 songs).
    Anyone that can help PLLLLLEEEEEEEAAAAASSSSSSEEEEEEE do so. I may just love you forever.

    Not knowing why it said converting I exited the program.... How do I make iTunes finish importing and converting ALL the songs from Media Player
    For one thing, maybe exiting while it was doing exactly what you wanted was not the greatest idea! But, nothing lost. Do the following: Close WMP; it has no role in what you are doing. Make sure you know what folders your WMA files are in. Use the iTunes command File > Add Folder to Library, and point it at your song folders. As iTunes processes each WMA file, it converts it to your preferred import format (see more on this below), adds the converted version to your library, and leaves the WMA files where it was.
    Regarding file format, if you plan to be moving around among Apple and non-Apple products, as you have been, you will find that mp3 is much more portable than AAC. So before doing anything else, go to Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Importing, make sure you have set to mp3 encoding at your preferred bit rate. (For bit rate, if you don't know what I am talking about, use 192.)
    There is one other catch. Music imported with WMP may have been created as protected WMA files, rather than unprotected files. If that is the case with any of your files, iTunes cannot convert them, and other measures must be taken.
    Hope this helps.
