Help with music file conversion

I need advice on the easiest way to convert .wma PC files to .m4a files for iTunes on a MacBook.
There are apps that will do one song at a time but need to be able to do a folder at a time.
iTunes on a PC can convert a folder easily but why won't it work on a MacBook?
All suggestions are welcome.
Thanks

Try File -> Export -> Export movie (PNG sequence)
This should work just fine if you don't have any actionscript in the presentation (AS is ignored).

Need Help With Music File

I just got my ipod shuffle and i had all my music stored in- my documents/my music folder and i installed itunes and all that with the cd it came with. and it inported all my mp3 files. but i had a bunch of windows media files. i found a mp3 encoder and made them all mp3 for my ipod. but in itunes they dont show up. and any new songs i download dont show up only the ones that loaded when i installed it. how do i get my music on the library? do i have 2 move my music somewhere. srry im new 2 this thx for ur help

Hi there.
Any music you download with iTunes is automatically added to your library, so I'm not sure what is up with that without more info.
As for the other, when you converted the files outside of iTunes (it could have done it for you with unprotectd WMA files), you then needed to tell iTunes tere is new music.
To do this, choose add to library (add folder?), then navigate to the folder you want to add. Select it and iTunes will add all the new tracks in that folder to your library.
This needs to be done every time you use a program other than iTunes.

Help With PDF FILE Conversion

Hi,
I’ve been using Flash Professional CS 5.5 to create a “simple presentation” for a project I want funding for, which must be presented in a PDF format. I used CS5.5 thinking that the simple presentation template and the program in general was simple enough to just convert into a PDF, but I guess there are a lot of coding issues that don’t make that easy.
So what I’m asking for help on is how to convert my presentation (which has no animations...only graphics, texts, and a total of 8 key frames) into a PDF file.
It appears the closest I’ve gotten to this is to add the jpeg format in the "publishing settings" window (which I can than turn into a PDF file right?), but for some reason the jpeg file is not showing up on my computer (I also cant preview SWF file because it only appears to be accessible when I am using the file during editing).
thanks for reading!
Daniel

Can some help with CR2 files ,Ican`t see CR2 files in adobe bridge

can some help with CR2 files ,I can`t see CR2 files in adobe bridge when I open Adobe Photoshop cs5- help- about plugins- no camera raw plugins. When i go Edit- preference and click on camera raw shows message that Adobe camera raw plugin cannot be found

That's strage. Seems that the Camera Raw.8bi file has been moved to different location or has gone corrupt. By any chance did you try to move the camera raw plugin to a custom location?
Go To "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS5\File Formats" and look for Camera Raw.8bi file.
If you have that file there, try to download the updated camera raw plugin from the below location.
http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=5371&fileID=5001
In case you ae not able to locate the Camera Raw.8bi file on the above location, then i think you need to re-install PS CS5.

Need Help with data type conversion

Hello People,

I have variable(string) storing IP Address
IPAddr="10.10.103.10"
I have to call a library function which passes IP Address and does something and returns me a value.
The problem I have is that external function call in this library excepts IP Address in form of a byte array.
Here is the syntax for the function I am calling through my program
int createDevice (byte[] ipAddress).
now my problem is I don't know how to convert the string IPAddr variable into a byte[] ipAddress to pass it through method.

Class InetAddress has a method

6275i help w/music files n ringtones

Hi, I have the 6275i and I can get music files onto it no prob, but when I listen with my nokia headset, I only hear it in one earphone. I'm unsure about the file conversion stuff, can someone tell me how to fix this?
As well, I've read that Bell doesn't allow the function of turning music files into ringtones, so anyone know a way to do this? THANKS!

With a network branded phone it is possible that certain features might be missing, like the ability to set a music track as ringtone.
My guess it that your phone has a special version of firmware on that was made by your network provider.
Knowledge should be your Advisor when you need help.

Help with finding files

I would really appreciate any help on this! I have my itunes library on an external hard drive. The power adapter to that drive failed. I replaced it, but now when I open itunes it doesn't recognize where any of my files are. A friend told me to try to go into Edit>Preferences and find the drive of my hard drive and reset that as where the files are. That didn't work. I can go in manually and click on a song where the window pops up that itunes can't find the file, and I am able to find it and then it will play. But to do that with all files in my library would take forever. Thank you so much for any help!
(I have itunes 8)

Try This. Hold the shift key down, and open iTunes. Do not let up on the shift key until you get a window that asks you to choose a library, or create a new library. If iTunes opens without giving you that choice, just close it and re-open it with the shift key down. Nine times out of Ten it works on the first try. Click "choose a library". You will get another window that allows you to navigate to your hard drive and show iTunes where your music is stored. In a folder called iTunes or iTunes Music, choose "iTunes Library.itl" This should bring back your entire library the way it was when you last used it.

6125 - problem with music file names

Hi everyone,
I bought a Nokia 6125 last week and have a slight problem with the music player if anyone can help please:
The music files that I have transferred to my phone have the correct song and artist name on the memory card in the Gallery, but when I open up Music Player it just displays them as squares. Any ideas on how to solve this please?
Thanks,
Sammy_JJ

Hi,
the problem might occur, because of language versions are different(source and your phone). Or the filename coding is not supported in the phone.

Help with mutiple files produced by sharing video to Itunes

Hi All,
As I continue to learn I am looking for some help. After importing DV video and then creating a movie in Imovie08 I shared the movie with Itunes. Looking through all the video files there are now two copies of everything on the drive..
Copy #1 is in- movies/imovie/sharing/itunes/filename.mv4
Copy #2 is in-music/itunes music/ movies/filename.mv4
The questions are can I delete the one in the Itunes music file? what can I do to prevent this in the future?
Thanks
GE

First most of the movies I am making are over 1gb so having two copies is not really an option as I will soon run out of space.
Most people would agree and it is not necessary to do if both copies are "standalone" files. Yours are.
when I checked get info for both files they were the same size so no reference smaller file as I have seen with the projects.
This merely confimrs that both files are, indeed, "standalone" copies and that iTunes is operating with the default preference to physically copy imported/added files to your iTunes Library wherever that might be located.
I was able to go into Itunes in the advanced and tell it not to copy to Itunes (thanks again) when sharing. On the most recent shared project this has eliminated the file in Itunes music but saved to the movie, imovie sharing, itunes ...File. When I open I tunes it did pick up the movie and sync with my apple TV. So far so good. My question now is why not leave like this?
You can leave it like this and that is one of the things mentioned previosly when I cautioned you that in this mode you could not then delete the shared folder copy of your video. Basically you have to options.
1) The first is to leave your standalone files physically in their original stored location and copy a "reference" pointer (like an alias) to iTunes. This method of operating keeps your iTunes Library relatively small but leaves your main "standalone" files scattered anywhere on any of your hard drives depending on how/where they were created/stored.
2) The second is to use the iTunes default setting as it was, physically copy the files to the iTunes Library, and then delete the "sourcing" or "intermediate" file which is no longer needed. This work flow "consolidates" all of your video files to single, known area but means your iTunes Library can become quite large.
The option you choose is up to you. I prefer the second option as I have an external 1 TB drive dedicated exclusively for use as my iTunes Library. In this manner all of my files are located in a known location and I can keep my internal start-up drive (and all other drives) relatively free of "clutter" by deleting video files from their source location as soon as I have imported them to iTunes. And, since I know where the file are located, I still maintain normal access to them for any "file" level operations (e.g., posting to any of my web sites/servers, sharing with friends/family via e-mail, QT Link files, and "reference" files, etc. Basically I use iTunes for the "physical" management of my videos for distribution to iPod, iPhone, and TV devices; iTunes, Front Row, and QT Player viewing; as well as, a central storage point for file level operations such as e-mail (standalone, reference, or QTL), site/server upload source, peer-to-peer distribution, etc. This works for me but may or may not suit another user's particular needs.
One suggestion earlier was to delete the Movie/Imovie sharing file. While this makes sense I would have to manually transfer it in or share to both then delete it.
The "sharing to iTunes" by iMovie is "automated." The deletion of extraneous files is not. Since iMovie does not know whether you are using iTunes manage your files physically, it cannot be pre-programmed to automatically delete the "shared" file without risking it will "orphan" the reference sent to/stored in iTunes. That is why the deletion is left to the user as a manual option.
Why not leave the flow the way it is. Will I later have some issue with I tunes? Or is the potential to over write the information if I adjust the project the issue?
As previously stated, you can use iTunes in this preference mode. While I doubt there would be any potential for accidental "overwites," there are other possibilities. Besides offending my sense of proper organization, there is the potential for such "scattered" files to be accidentally deleted in error. Also, there is always the possibility that someone might "move" the "standalone" file to a different location on the same or a different hard drive. In either instance, your iTunes file pointer would likely be "orphaned" and the content would no longer be availalable until or unless a valid path were restored. In addition, having files scattered all over your drives makes backing them up a bit of a chore. By consolidating all of my videos and music physically as I do, it is much easier to automatically "back them up" using another external drive and either Time Machine or other such software -- something to consider after doing all that work creating your files. What is best for you will depend on you specific work flows, needs, and concepts. There is no right or wrong here but merely what works best for you.

Help with wav file, stop and play buttons

Hey everyone,
I'm new to actionscript, and flash for that matter. I created
a new flash file, and a new layer. On that layer I put 2 buttons,
btnPlay and btnStop.
I found some code on this forum, and tried it, but it isn't
working. The code is below. I get no errors, but when I test the
movie, it doesn't play any music. I selected this layer, selected
frame 1, and put this code in the actions window.
mySound = new Sound();
btnPlay.onRelease = function () {
mySound.attachSound("adagio");
mySound.start(0);
btnStop.onRelease = function() {
mySound.stop("adagio");
I should also note, I have another layer with a movie clip on
it, and another layer with a picture on it.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks,
Jesse

As another note--I right clicked on the wav file in my
library and selected linkage and export to first frame as well as
export for actionscript (and named the linkage "adagio"). Might
help with a solution.

NEWBIE: Need Help Sending Music Files

Everytime I try to send even a small music file (300 KB)... I get a "Message content exceeds size limit"
Do I need to change my settings someplace?
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
MJ

Unfortunately Patsfan, You cannot do anything to change this setting!
This is a limitation that was set by your phone services provider network!
MMS message are to only be allow to be sent over their network if the size is "LESS" than 300kb, you might be able to get away with "300kb exactly" but still it has to be within that size!
If you notice when you are in video mode on your phone and go to options it gives you two "video formats" to choose from
1 = normal mode
2 = mms mode
If you choose the first mode, you can record videos for as long as you want, granted you have a memory card that has the available space. But you most likely wont be able to send those videos using mms because they probably have gone over the 300kb size limitation for sending via MMS.
If you choose the second mode, the videos that you record will stop at about 40-50 seconds or before the video size goes over 300kb. And thats just the way it is. This mode assures that all your videos will be under 300kb, and in a format that can be sent by mms GUARUNTEED.
The only work around for this are mainly two things:
1 - Send the video by email and not MMS.
or
2 - find some third party software that will allow you to work around these size limitations.
Sorry I dont know any off hand.
But I hope this helps out!

Need help attaching music files to PowerPoint presentation

Hi. I've reached my frustration limit. I'm not even sure what quetion to ask. I'm trying to put together a .ppt slide show for my daughter's graduation... setting pictures to music. In order to do this, I must make the music files accessible from my hard drive. I purchased several ITunes but they came as MP4 files, which my computer can't play. I burned a CD, which plays... ripped the CD to the hard drive (and those files play), but .ppt won't recognize them.
Is this a copyright issue? If so, is there a work-around? I'm not doing anything illegal... I just want to use them from one location, but that one location must be from my hard drive... not on a CD and not in an MP3 player.
Please help. I'm just about frantic!
Thanks SO much!
PS: Is there a better option for me than ITunes? I'm guessing Limewire is illegal. Are there sites where I can purchase music to burn to my hard drive?
Dell xps Windows XP Pro

Hi! Thanks for your reply. The answers are:
What are your settings for Disc Format in the
iTunes Edit menu > Preferences >
Advanced tab > Burning sub-tab?
1. AUDIO CD
And what are your settings for Import Using in
the iTunes Edit menu > Preferences >
Advanced tab > Importing sub-tab?
2. AAC ENCODER
Since I posted, I've moved the files around that I ripped, and they work in some locations and not others. Interesting... Can't make heads or tails of it. Just got off the phone for an hour with Dell who couldn't figure it out either.
Seems that if I burn them to a CD, rip the files from the CD to the hard drive and then guess the right location to file them, it will work (at least intermittently).
Thoughts?
I purchased several ITunes but they came as MP4
files, which my computer can't play. I burned a CD,

What are your settings for Disc Format in the

And what are your settings for Import Using in

Help - Moving Music Files to Larger External Hard Drive

Before I lose any files or otherwise ruin my iTunes installation, I need to know the best and safest way to move my iTunes music from my C: drive to my new external drive while still retaining full iTunes functionality while clearing space on my cramped internal drive.
Adding some slight complexity, I also have the Honda TTS (text to speech) software loaded which provides for the functionality of the music link for my iPod in my Honda Accord.
Do I have to reinstall iTunes on the new drive? If so, how do I preserve my music files in the process.
Thanks for reading.
Chris
Dell Dimension 2200 Windows XP

No, it's not necessary to re-install iTunes on the new drive. The following link from MacMuse should help. 2 tips, before doing anything in iTunes, you must boot-up the EHD prior to opening iTunes or iTunes will revert the iTunes music folder location back to the main drive. Next, there are 2 associated database files with iTunes, the .itl & .xml files . These 2 files CAN'T be moved off you system's drive, that is their "home" & they have to stay put. Welcome to discussions!
EDIT:
I guess I'm getting tired, forgot the link, so sorry!
