High Quality Import settings not working

Hi,
Running iTunes 6.0.4 for Windows and have completely removed and reinstalled it to try to resolve this problem.
When I go to the Importing preferences and I try to selet a "Custom..." bit rate....it always defaults back to 128kpbs. I've tried setting the AAC encoder to 192kpbs as well as the MP3 encoder. As soon as I go back into preferences, they have defaulted to 160kpbs.
What's going on here? Why won't iTunes let me use the higher bit rate settings?

hi Audiophilia!
this is sometimes caused by a corrupt itunes preferences file. folks can often get their custom import settings to stick by rebuilding their preferences file. (make a note of any custom settings you have though ... the rebuild will set all preferences back to their defaults.)
although it's about a different issue, the preferences file rebuild technique is given in this User Tip:

  • Import Settings not working

    I have been trying to Import all settings from another project: File>Project Settings>Import Settings.. (all boxes) ticked - then navigate to another Logic Song and Open... nothing happens to the original.
    I want to end up having imported the Midi Environment, Audio Environment and the same Arrange Page layout into the new song.
    For some reason Import Settings does not do this - am I missing something?
    thanks in advance

  • Highest quality import settings for iTunes 9?

    http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;ylt=AooGuxvheq40oC0etoPY8yvty6IX;ylv=3?qid=20090909143724AALIlSP
    *What are the highest quality import settings for iTunes 9?*
    I just got iTunes 9 and I want to know what the HIGHEST quality import settings are with the exception of Apple Lossless. I usually import cd's as
    AAC
    Stereo Bit Rate: 320kbps
    Sample Bit Rate: 48.000 kHz
    Channels: Stereo
    Now when I go into the custom menu and try to set these settings, it gives me an error message that reads the following:
    "The selected combination of bit rate and sample rate is not allowed."
    I was thinking about using WAV but I want a format that will be compatible with other/future personal media players as well such as Zune's and Creative MP3 players. Right now I have an iPod and don't plan on changing anytime soon. I just want the highest quality sound for my ears to hear.
    so, *What is the highest for AAC?*
    *Should I switch to WAV?*
    & if you could, *What are highest quality settings for the other formats as well.*

    well i personally think you should go with mp3 at 320kbps (max for that file format) main reason for this is that mp3 is compatible with pretty much everything, where as aac isn't although it is getting a bit better. the main difference between aac and mp3 is in the lower bit rates, i.e aac 128kbps sounds equivalent to mp3 192kbps (suppoesdly) but when you go from 192kbps and up both file formats sound basically the same, just a variation in file size. ig you want the highest quality for you ipod i would say 320kbps mp3. anything higher isn't worth it becuase most earphones cant even pick it up, only if you have high quality ones.

  • Audio CD import is not working the cd is ejected before itunes can read it

    audio CD import is not working the cd is ejected before itunes can read it. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Does this happen with all cd's or one in particular?
    Reset the SMC http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964

    Try a cleaning disc. You can get them at places like Radio Shack.
    If nothing helps your optical drive has probably failed. You can replace it or purchase an inexpensive external drive. Don't buy the Apple SuperDrive as it won't work with macs that have a built in drive.

    I have taken it back to the Apple store genius bar, but they say they don't see anything wrong. Well unless you use it all day and experience the problems when they happen, you wont see anything wrong. But there are lots wrong with it. But this would be the same store as I purchased the phone. And they backed up my old Iphone 4, but were not able to get anything to load back onto my new phone. So, I lost pretty much everything. But over time, some of my contacts have started showing up, although i am still missing over 800 of them.

  • Apple 10.4 managed clients dock settings not working

    I  have an issues with  3 or 4 of my 10.4 clients all are managed by WGM on an apple 10.5 server.  The I have managed dock settings on all apple clients are getting the proper dock settings however I have 3 or 4 clients that are not.  The clients that are not getting the dock settings are in the correct computer group.  And I don't see any of the clients dedicated in the computer group.  And suggestions or tips would be welcome help.

    THAT WORKED and all is back to normal.
    By the way I did not lose any of the icons on my dock either. All the apps light up under the icon and they now mimimize correctly!!

    Try deleting com.apple.dock.plist from the preference folder located in your user Library.
    You can open the hidden library in Finder's menubar,  Finder > Go > hold the option key down > select Library.
    Edit: you'll have to add back program icons to the dock that you moved there.

  • Compression settings not working on Premiere Pro CC

    I am a freelance editor working for a satellite delivery company. They have specific settings they require for their uplink signals. These setting have worked great on CS5, CS6 and CC2014. However the company is now using CC and these settings create HUGE pixels and the file is unusable. Why do the same settings not work on CC?

    You're welcome.

  • Debayer Settings not Working??

    I've had a thread going over on RedUser here: http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?72431-Premiere-Media-Encoder-Render-Tests-Matr ox-CompressHD-Card-Results
    Basically in the source settings for any .r3d file in Premiere, you can choose High, Medium, or Low for debayer.  I've run tests using High vs Low, and the encode times are exactly the same.  I'm assuming something is wrong?!  If you use full vs any partial debayer in RedCineX, the full debayer always takes much longer to complete.
    Also, another user posted that he sees no quality difference between selecting High vs Low debayer in Premiere.
    Is this feature not working??

    As it turns out, the Debayer Detail setting in CS5.5 is a subtle sharpening control which has little/nothing to do with debayer resolution:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/3845231#3845143
    The debayer quality is handled automatically.
    This doesn't seem to be documented anywhere, just took me a few days to find (and still trying to find just how the automatic control works). Oh well, it's only been four months!

  • Import settings not saved

    I'm running iTunes 4.9.0.17 loaded from the disc that came with my Nano and have used all its functionality with no trouble until now. (I reverted to this previous version due to import problems with 6.0). I can change the import settings, but the changes won't stick after exiting the window. When I reopen Preferences and check the Import settings, they always revert back to the default High Quality (160kbps) setting. My drivers and firmware are up to date. I've made no changes to my hardware or software configurations. I have very little hair left after trying to figure this out, so any help is greatly appreciated. A more detailed system configuration is available, if it will help.

    Check out this post from Otto42. It deals with EQ presets, but I have a strong suspicion that your Import settings are in the same file.

  • Do not import duplicates not working

    How can I import only new photos from memory card? the do not import duplicates checkmark  does not work anymore.

    I reset the import settings to defaults, thinking I might have changed something inadvertently ( I am new at this), and now the checkmark for do not import duplicates cannot be checked ( for the past two weeks it could but it would still import all the duplicates)
    This looks like there may be a problem with broken user preferences in your user account.
    Test, if you can set the "Do not import duplicates" flag, if you sign in as a different user. Enable another user account for testing in the "System Preferences > Users& Groups", e.g. the "Guest" account, if you do not have a test account.  If the "Do not import Duplicates" is working well in this account, we'll know, that broken preferences files or other setings in your current account are probably causing this.
    Then try to remove your user preferences as described in this document :   the Apple Aperture trouble-shooting page.
    You user library may still be hidden, as is the default in Mavericks: To open your hidden user library:
    Select the "Home" folder icon (the little house)  in the Finder's sidebar and press the key combination ⌘J to open the "view options".
    Enable "Show Library Folder".
    Then open the Home folder and open the Library folder inside and navigate to ~/Library/Preferences
    These files and folders need removing:
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Aperture
    After removing the Preferences files it is essential to log off and on again, or to restart the computer, before you launch Aperture again.  Otherwise it may not take effect.

  • QT PRO high quality option, why not default after UPDATE?

    I just installed the new QT Security Update, and now my QT quality for my videos is quite sub-standard across the board. I first noticed it using iTunes watching some videos. I then opened a movie with QTPro full screen, and the screen was pixillated and grainy compared to before the update. I went to movie properties info pane, and noticed that the "use high quality when avail." option was NOT selected (under movie properties). I clicked this, and the quality improved. I then had to SAVE the movie (with dual extention including .mov).
    QT used to have this selected as default and I never had to re-save the video. I went under QT preferences (not under movie properties), and made sure "use HQ video setting when avail" was checked--it was.
    So, I have about 100 movies that I now have to RE-SAVE after checking the properties HQ box? This is quite tedious and cumbersome. Is there a way to go back to OLD settings? Should I uninstall QT Update and reinstall? Or is this the method mac is now advocating as standard protocol?
    I love my "easy" to use mac and QT. But this seems out of norm for QT software. HELP?!
    iMac 17inch flat-panel PPC   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   QT pro, latest software updates

    I've noticed that the mpg-4 videos are most dramatically effected. My iTunes downloaded TV/movie/videos are all fine. I do not notice a change in quality checked or unchecked with those specific formats.
    Yah, I know it shouldn't have caused an issue, but quite coincidental as I've been using QT for over 2 years now and through all the updates and improved versioins never had a problem.
    I guess stranger things have happened and it could be circumstance! LOL!

  • On iphoto my stop import is not working and the force quit does not work either

    please help - the stop import and force quit on iphoto both not working. thx!

    This happened to me today on the iPad; I put in the password 4 or 5 times. I began to think my account had been hacked. I tried again on my iPhone and it worked first time. Then I tried again on the iPad and same thing—worked first time. Maybe just a temporary glitch in the server?

  • Background-color:transparent !important; is not working in IE

    Hi,
    In my sharepoint site i have used "background-color:transparent !important;" css. It is not working in IE but in Mozilla is working fine.
    And I am using IE 11. Please let me know is there any thing wrong in the syntax. If that is the case please provide me correct solution for that.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. 
    Regards,
    Saya 

    Thank you for your reply.
    I have checked given links. Those are not use for this issue.
    Actually in my sharepoint site the same code "background-color:transparent
    !important;" was working fine before installing sharepoint 2010 service pack 2. After installation we got this issue. And if i change "transparent"
    with any color, it is applying that color. Only "transparent"
    background css is not working in IE.
